Volume 1
Volume 2
The story began in the thick of the action…
Flux, a half-Atlantean hybrid was running through
Southpoint, being chased by a group of monstrous, muscular warriors. Flux, incredibly hungry, had stolen a Burger
King bag that one of them had set down, and before he got a chance to enjoy it,
had been spotted.
As they chased him to a park near Buster Squad 5’s
warehouse, Kale – who had been meditating – sensed the distraught hybrid nearby
and quickly roused the team to action!
Okay, not quickly…as he had to convince the squad why it was
worth risking their necks to save someone else…ultimately, he convinced Socks
and Bully that they would get to hit a lot of stuff, which Socks somehow
translated into they were going to be finding a pet monkey.
As the eight gang members surrounded him in the rundown
park, he finally got a good look at their colors and their vibro weapons and
let out a deep sigh…because he fully recognized the Southpoint Slashers. Before the Slashers could get their prize,
Bully and Socks charged a pair of the gang while Mindstorm flew into position
to begin firing bolts of electricity from his hands.
Belladonna was complaining the whole way, just not clear why
the team was even getting involved. She
picked on Mindstorm, who blew her off, referencing his rough childhood with an
abusive stepfather and stepbrother. When
she asked what that had to do with blue aliens, Mindstorm pointed out that the
aliens hadn’t killed his stepfather or stepbrother.
With Socks, he was in no mood to talk…just to slash things
to ribbons.
Kale, when questioned, informed her that his sole reason for
being is avenging Atlantis…it is why he sold his soul to The Leviathan, and it
would all be worth it once he saw the V’Sori empire in ruins. Kale then assumed control of Horace, one of
the gang members, and used him as his instrument in the fight.
Bully was slashed deep by one of the drugged up thugs, and
was quickly sent into a mad rage.
Flux was slashed by the gang leader, but he shook it off and
summoned a huge twister that sucked two of the gangsters up, including the gang
leader, who was hurled through the air and impaled on Bully’s horns!
Kale and Mindstorm both saw it, and were both in awe.
Belladonna slipped in beside Bully and grabbed one of the
thugs, then smiled as she saw her poison rapidly take effect…
“Do you know what that feeling is? That first feeling is your arms and
legs…going away, that is. That second
feeling is the pounding in your heart at realizing Bully is in complete rage,
and you can’t run away from him.”
Horace, under the control of Kale, slashed his way through
two more thugs, one of whom was quite confused at why Horace was killing him!
Thug: “Horace? Horace!
Why do you kill me, Horace? Is
this about the drugs? I would
share! I would share! Horace!”
Kale (As Horace): “Horace isn’t home right now…”
Flux sent his twister after the second thug he had thrown,
but the thug scurried away.
Bully gored the paralyzed thug with an astonishing 53 points
of damage and turned large parts of him into a red mist.
Kale stepped up to Flux and began to introduce himself, when
Dr. Destruction broke in on their commlinks and ordered them to lay low for a
while, as a pair of cells were busted recently and he thinks that, due to their
last mission being so high profile, they may be targets.
Flux started to introduce himself as “V—uh, Flux.”…but Bully
– who was savagely killing Horace - latched onto the “V” sound and was
convinced he was actually the old villain Volt.
Socks began ranting to Kale about there not being a monkey
around.
Mindstorm quickly dismissed Bully and Socks back to HQ, and
Bully was ECSTATIC because he had planned for Movie Night anyway! He had The
Day the Earth Stood Still, Independence Day, War of the Worlds, The Thing,
Invasion of the Body Snatchers and E.T.!
With Socks and Bully out of the way, Kale, Mindstorm and
Belladonna began talking to Flux and finding out a bit of background on him,
before offering him the chance to return to their HQ with him…at least offering
him some food and place to lay low for a while.
Flux agreed, and the team returned to their warehouse. Mindstorm was actually going to suggest
dinner, when Bully’s stomping around about movies and popcorn interrupted
things. Bully then began arguing that
Flux couldn’t join the team, because then they would have six members, which
would then mean that someone would die!
Mindstorm argued with Bully about this for several minutes, pointing out
that they could always just change the team name…but Bully didn’t see just how changing
the team name could change fate like that!
Mindstorm finally sighed and went to the roof to play with the weather.
Kale explained the basics of OMEGA to Flux, and began to ask
him about his heritage (sensing the half-Atlantean part) while Bully and Socks
watched movies.
Belladonna joined Mindstorm on the roof and asked him to
take her out for dinner…to Chick’s Café over on Westpoint. Mindstorm agreed, deciding it might be a good
idea to get away from the rest of the team for a bit.
Bully choked on his popcorn when he saw Belladonna, dressed
to the nines, enter the room…and she and Mindstorm headed out for the night.
Bully – excited about the part where the buildings blow up
in Independence Day – threw a fit
when a power outage hit their grid!
Kale tried to contain Bully and Socks, who went back to
screaming about monkeys and grew agitated when Kale told him that the zoo had
closed because all the monkeys had died…and Socks responded by throwing the
refrigerator out the window.
Mindstorm and Belladonna were walking by “Heroes” when
something infuriating caught Mindstorm’s eye: An action figure two-pack of him
– in his old “Oddball” persona – and The Aquarian. This annoyed him because 1) he was making NO money
off of that…2) he had never even MET The Aquarian and 3) Mindstorm was quite
embarrassed by his Oddball persona and costume.
Mindstorm went inside to purchase the two-pack, to get it off the
shelves and out of the window.
They then went on to Chick’s Café, with Belladonna needling
Mindstorm about his old outfit the whole way.
Inside the Café, Mindstorm and Belladonna quickly felt
uneasy, as they recognized Deathstalker (who they encountered a few missions
back) at the bar with a pair of V’Sori officers. This added some extra tension to the meal, as
Mindstorm and Belladonna tried not to draw attention to themselves.
Outside the warehouse, the remaining crew heard the sounds
of looting starting up. Socks convinced
Bully they should go, because stealing from a looter is like a victimless crime. Kale apologetically told Flux that he can’t
let them go alone, because they will get into a whole mess of trouble.
Mindstorm and Belladonna snuck out of Chick’s Café, and when
they came up on Heroes, saw that it was being by a gang. The gang members saw Mindstorm and
Belladonna…and quickly moved in, to Mindstorm’s surprise!
As Socks, Bully, Kale and Flux headed to the streets, they
saw something odd: There was no one around.
A voice nearby ordered them, on behalf of SOCorp, the Special Operations
Corp, to surrender! Kale and Flux
realized that SOCorp agents were perched on the roof, guns trained on them!
Socks snarled and lunged at the SOCorp elite, who scoffed
and deflected his attack…then ordered the men with him to swarm Socks…but Socks
fought them all off, even with their numbers advantage!
Mindstorm wrapped himself in a telekinetic field as the
thugs closed in, but one did manage to knick him with a vibroknife!
One SOCorp agent prepared to fire at Kale, who turned and
gave him an evil stare that caused the gun to jam and explode! Flux smiled and whipped up a twister that
ripped all three agents on the warehouse through the air and scattered them in
the streets!
Mindstorm, who had been forming a storm overhead just in
case, lashed out with lightning on one of the thugs.
Socks unleashed a guttural howl that completely froze his
attackers in their tracks!
Belladonna grabbed Mindstorm, whirled him around, and kissed
him deeply…then she bit his lip and kneed him in the groin! Mindstorm, shocked, slumped to his knees!
“Do you know what the feeling is, Mindstorm? That’s your arms and legs…going away. You know what that other feeling is? That’s you realizing what I have done. I have heard everything you have ever said
about me…every time you have ever mocked me…but little old Belladonna? She just cut the head off this team.”
Mindstorm couldn’t even respond as Belladonna smiled and
told the thugs “Thanks for the distraction.”
She turned to a figure in the shadows and said “Put the nullifier
gauntlets on him…now.”
Mindstorm, in a daze, had shackles slapped on him that
eliminated his powers…but he recognized the face of the man that was locking
him up! The man smiled, as Belladonna
leaned against him, and spoke: “Hello,
dear brother…long time, no see.”
The rapid strike by Buster Squad 5 had shook the SOCorp, as
Belladonna broke over the team’s commlink: “Oh no…something has happened to
Mindstorm. It is very awful. Please…you MUST come quickly…” before she
broke the connection.
To be continued…
Notes: First session with a new player, and this story is a
big deviation from the Plot Point Campaign, bringing in the new PC and
providing a massive twist in the team as Socks and Mindstorm near Seasoned
rank.
The new player’s character has a lot that wasn’t shown here,
both stat-wise and under the hood. I was
VERY impressed, as he’s never roleplayed before, and he hit me with a strong
concept as well as a good backstory that defines some stuff and leaves me room,
as the GM, to play around.
Mindstorm’s player and I both wanted a bit of a break from
the “mission, mission, mission” style play, hence the shakeup here with a very
RP heavy session…which is very definitely to be continued next week, as I take
the team to a part of the city they thus far haven’t ever been, and run them
into a few more elements of the setting that are either glossed over in the
Plot Point or are never touched on at all.
Should be fun.
We resume with Kale, Bully, Socks and Flux arriving in
Westpoint outside of Chick’s Café where Belladonna told them they had been
attacked…only to once more find themselves surrounded by SOCorp Operatives!
Kale sneered at the order to surrender, teleported behind
two of the Operatives, his eyes began to glow red, and he yelled with a watery
roar: “You dare order a servant of The Leviathan to surrender? I shall crush all of you!” One operative immediately ran as far away
from Kale as he could, right into the clutches of Bully and Flux, while
another’s hair turned white under his helmet!
The third in the area loudly proclaimed that he wasn’t afraid of Kale,
when Socks tore up through the ground and ripped his face off, helmet and all.
Flux began to form his whirlwind, while SOCorp operatives
opened fire on Bully and Flux. Flux’ air
shield fended off bullets while Bully just shrugged as the bullets impacted
him.
The SOCorp Elite attacked Flux with a stun rod, hoping to
disrupt his concentration, but Flux fended him off.
Meanwhile, on a transport rapidly heading toward Northpoint,
Vincent Blevins – stepbrother of Mindstorm – and Belladonna kept taunting and
tormenting him…informing Mindstorm that they would be torturing him for
information on OMEGA before turning him over to Warlord Shavak! The whole time, Belladonna kept asking
Vincent if he was “sure” that the V’Sori could get her “home”.
Back in Westpoint, Socks tore through the ground at another
SOCorp Operative who DID see him coming, but Socks still tore him apart.
Bully found himself battling ineffectively against the
SOCorp Elite leader, who was just a much better fighter…he just couldn’t hurt
Bully!
Flux got shot but quickly shrugged it off, and his cyclone
erupted into existence, whipping one of the SOCorp operatives down the street
as the frightened operative running from Kale was accidentally gunned down by
his own men!
On the transport, Vincent continued to ridicule his brother,
mentioning that his father was now Governor of Maryland as appointed by the
V’Sori. Mindstorm asked him why he
should care, with Vincent replying that he just wanted Mindstorm to know that
he and his father were still successful while Mindstorm wore a ridiculous
costume and was an ineffective terrorist.
He then pointed out what a
pathetic leader Mindstorm was for not even knowing his own teammate had been
replaced! When Mindstorm looked stunned,
Belladonna filled him in – explaining how she had traded places with the “real”
Belladonna back in the ammo depot several missions ago! She told him not to feel TOO bad…after all,
Bully and Socks were insanely easy to pump for information. Vincent called them “the stupid ones” and
laughed about how they were being gunned down in the streets right now.
Back on the streets, the newly-white haired SOCorp Operative
shot Kale in the back…and he grimaced, then spun and glared at him…telling him
he would drink his soul! A blue aura
with bizarre, alien tentacles began to surround Kale and he pounced on the
SOCorp operative, who screamed out in agony as he died! The SOCorp elite, getting desperate,
distracted Bully while Flux drew his cyclone closer to the conflict!
Mindstorm was loaded inside an interrogation room at SOCorp
Headquarters, where Vincent began demanding blowtorches, acid, knives…all kinds
of implements with which to torture his brother!
Kale teleported between two more the SOCorp Operatives, and
his bizarre aura pierced their souls and sent them screaming into
oblivion! Bully sneered, turned, and
impaled the SOCorp Elite with his horns, ending the fight.
Belladonna inadvertently saved Mindstorm right off in the
torture session, when Vincent tried to electrocute him, but she told him
Mindstorm couldn’t be hurt by electricity (he can when his powers are
nullified)…apparently confusing Mindstorm’s willpower for resistance to that
method of attack. So Vincent returned
with spike knuckles with which to beat Mindstorm.
A shadowy figure called to Kale, Socks, Bully and Flux from
an alley, saying “Come with me if you wanna live…I’ve always wanted to say
that!” He introduced himself as Izzy,
and informed them that he worked for Willy the Fish, a local crimelord that
Socks remembered, from somewhere, for some reason…but he couldn’t quite place
it. Izzy told them that reinforcements
were coming, and they needed to get out of there!
Flux and Kale began to discuss the ambush telepathically,
with Kale suspecting that Belladonna had been forced to draw them there. Meanwhile, Socks and Bully began an open
dialogue, with Bully suggesting that he just take over as team leader. Izzy chimed in, informing them that
Belladonna betrayed Mindstorm, as Izzy had been watching things once word got
to Willy the Fish that Vincent and Belladonna were hiring gangbangers for some
plot.
Back in the police station, Vincent had beaten Mindstorm
into a bloody mess, but Mindstorm still wouldn’t break. He taunted Vincent, telling him to let him go
and they could fight this straight out, since Mindstorm was CLEARLY inferior to
Vincent. Unbelievably, the taunts got
the better of Vincent and he let Mindstorm out of his nullifiers and
shackles! Belladonna swore under her
breath and moved in on Mindstorm, but he dodged her and electrocuted her and
Vincent, leaving his all-too-human brother in bad shape! The SOCorp Operative moved in as well with
his stun rod, but Mindstorm shrugged it off!
Vincent ran away, as Mindstorm blasted Belladonna, but she managed to
paralyze him again!
Izzy led the team to a safehouse where Willy the Fish
appeared on a monitor. Socks again
seemed like he should be remembering something, but he couldn’t quite place
it…Willy pointed out to the crew that they had a common enemy, and he wanted to
help them get their friend back. He gave
Izzy a map through the sewer system to get underneath the SOCorp HQ, and a
dozen men – ready to die if need be – would rendezvous with them under
Downtown. Willy gave them explicit
orders: Get in, get Mindstorm and get out.
His men were prepared to die to accomplish this, but it couldn’t be for
nothing. Socks asked Willy if he knew
him, and Willy honestly said he couldn’t recognize the face. Socks asked if he knew the name – Socks’ real
name Jonathan Slade – and Willy looked surprised. He studied Socks for a moment and said “Huh. Didn’t expect that.” When Socks admitted he didn’t remember
everything that happened before the V’Sori experimented on him, Willy said he
wouldn’t want to push things, but that they would have to have a long talk in
the future.
Belladonna and the guard shackled Mindstorm again and
slapped on the nullifiers once more, and Belladonna ordered more guards. When he left the room, she dropped a
bombshell on Mindstorm: She is, in fact,
“his” Belladonna…once she saw the “alternate” Belladonna captured in her place,
she decided to pose as the “alternate” Belladonna in hopes of escaping to HER
reality, where the V’Sori hadn’t taken over and she wouldn’t have to deal with
the whole stupid war. She told Mindstorm
that the only reason she was telling him this was because she wanted him to
know, undeniably, who had betrayed him.
She said, as she prepared to leave, that she would wish him and OMEGA
luck against the V’Sori…but really, it wasn’t her problem anymore anyway.
As Mindstorm rested, beaten in his cell, a cop entered the
room. A small, African American woman
named Office Lila Jackson of the SOCorp. She ordered Mindstorm to his feet and started
marching him to the door…and told him that she needed to get him out of there
right away! Mindstorm asked her what was
going on, and she told him she was a double-agent working for Dr. Destruction!
Under the city, Buster Squad and Willy the Fish’s men had
traveled without incident…until they came right under the police station where
they found a dozen Drones, and the superhuman operatives Deathstalker and
Lycosa! Lycosa and Deathstalker were
apparently up to something else entirely when they saw the approaching
force! Kale leapt into action, causing
an earthquake that shook up Deathstalker (as well as SOCorp HQ)!
Flux began summoning his cyclone, while the Drones got into
position to attack, and Izzy led Willy’s men into doing the same!
Socks tore through the ground and ripped into a drone, then
came face to face with Lycosa! Lycosa
asked if they had met before, to which Socks replied that they had, and he was
looking forward to this! Lycosa pounced
at Socks, but Socks fended him off…but this was only a set-up for Deathstalker
to skewer him with his tail!
The Drones and The Fish’s Men traded projectile fire, with
the drones largely getting the worst of it.
One of the Fish’s Men got shot hard and went down, but the drone that
did the damage was quickly taken apart.
Socks dove into the ground to get away from Lycosa and popped up between
Deathstalker and four drones in a desperation move! The boldness of the action caught them
unaware, and Socks struck HARD (playing the Final Blow adventure deck card) and
obliterated the drones as well as instantly tearing Deathstalker’s throat
out!! Lycosa turned, stunned, to see his
partner and ally brought down…when one of The Fish’s men fired and blasted him
in the head, sending the murderous Spider to his grave as well! Mindstorm and Lila Jackson entered the
tunnels seconds later, just in time to see The Fish’s men swarming on the
remaining drones to finish out the opposition.
Bully proudly announced that he led the team there to bring
Mindstorm home, and bragged about his success in guiding the team to victory in
the sewers. Lila sent them on their way,
then returned to SOCorp.
When Warlord Shavak arrived at HQ demanding to see the
leader of the Cell that had disrupted his plans, he was sheepishly informed by
agents that the prisoner had…escaped.
Officer Jackson helpfully offered a report, about how Governor Blevins’
son Vincent had been taunted into letting the prisoner out of his nullifiers
and lost control of the situation.
Belladonna almost interrupted…but she herself had grown sick of
Vincent’s arrogance, and let it go.
Shavak, not surprisingly, was FURIOUS.
Notes: Socks officially hit Seasoned at the conclusion of
this, with Mindstorm right behind. A ton
of character stuff was laid here, especially for Socks and Mindstorm.
New Session!
Izzy and Bully showed up at HQ with good news for Socks: His
new, modified Fin armor should only be about a week out, as Izzy’s guy in
Downtown was working hard on it.
Mindstorm pulled Kale aside to ask him what he knew about the new guy,
and whether or not Flux was trustworthy…not wanting to have another
“Belladonna” incident.
Bully continued touting his success as a team leader, when
Dr. Destruction updated their V-MAP with news that a missing villain had been
found in Japan , a sabotage
mission was required in New York ,
and recon was needed in the sewers under Beachhead. Mindstorm pondered splitting forces, sending
Kale on recon, Socks and Bully on the sabotage and he and Flux heading to Japan , but
thought better of it. Bully pointed out
that he wanted to flex his “men-tic-al” muscles and go to Japan , but they all wound up heading to Tarrytown , New
York
Buster Squad 5 met up with Tula Michaels, a human resistance
fighter who had been fighting the V’Sori in Tarrytown
since the invasion. Her people had been
on the run recently, after the V’Sori unleashed their Terror Gas, a fear toxin
designed to target human physiology.
Sock quickly took the opportunity to inform the attractive
freedom fighter that he was very much single, though the President’s Wife was
hitting on him.
Mindstorm said that Socks and Flux (using his Earth control)
could widen the tunnel for Bully while he and Kale summoning a vicious storm as
a distraction. Bully smiled softly at
Mindstorm, slapped him on the shoulder, and said there wasn’t room for two
leaders: Bully was going to lead the
human assault on the barracks!
Kale and Mindstorm stood in view of the science building and
summoned a nasty storm, Kale tapping into Leviathan’s wells of power to form a
massive downpour over the area. Tula led Socks and Flux
underground, Socks hitting on her the whole way.
Flux and Socks both felt the hair rise on the backs of their
necks and turned, just in time to see a G’Rok rising through the pipes! Tula
spun and shot it, but the blast bounced off!
Flux summoned the earth to grasp the G’Rok, but it snarled and faded
through the ground, emerging behind Socks!
Socks sneered as it bit him, but he shrugged it off and ripped its jaws
wide open, then tore its heart out! Tula , used to fighting
alongside fully human fighters, was quite surprised at the whole thing.
The wind howled and battered the science building, as Tula brought Socks and
Flux to the basement of the science building.
Bully told all the superpowered guys to “join me in the
frontal assault, the rest of youse play clean-up” and they attacked! Well, Bully attacked. Since he was the only one there with
powers. One of the men radioed to Tula that the barracks
were now under assault, and she led Socks and Flux inside.
Heading to the second floor, they immediately came face to
face(s) with half a dozen drones still patrolling the building, as the alarms
ripped across the campus! Two V’sori
scientists inside the science lab sensed the half-Atlantean presence of Flux
and headed for the hills, rounding up Terror Gas while calling for
reinforcements! Flux began summoning a
cyclone inside the building as Tula
took a shot at the Drones and they returned fire! Socks scored first blood, charging the first
two drones and slashing them to ribbons.
Two drones extended vibro-blades from their arms and
advanced, but Socks batted them away and Tula
shot one of them down. Socks polished
off the other as the V’Sori made their escape upstairs.
Socks charged the final two drones just as the cyclone came
into effect, and six more drones charged down the steps, led by two Fins! The cyclone failed to move the drones, but
Socks was able to get one of them. As
reinforcements moved in, the cyclone caught Socks and the other drone he was
fighting, and whipped them hard into a wall, with Socks being hurt badly (3
wounds initially, soaked into 2 instead).
One of the Fins sneered and moved in with four drones
trailing him, as the other Fin marched on with two drones behind him. Flux was disappointed to see the Fin wasn’t
affected by his cyclone, and finally thought he might should move into
different tactics.
Lula was shot by a drone but stayed in the fight, while
Socks batted back the attacking Fin.
Luckily, that crack drone programming kicked in, and the Fin exploded in
a mass of burning and body parts as one of the drones accidentally shot him in
the back! Flux sent flames erupting in
the hallway, but the Fin caught in the fire just shrugged it off and moved in where
his brother had left off on Socks.
Socks capitalized, killing the surprised Fin with a brutal
assault before being shot! A second shot
on the wounded, off-balance Socks caught him in the face and he went down in a
smoldering heap! Tula screamed in outrage and ran to his aid
despite her wounds, opening fire on the drone and killing one. Flux ran down the hall and placed himself
between her and the drones, buffeting the remaining drones with air. This went back and forth, with Tula killing another drone, when Flux unleashed fire
instead and actually caught a drone on fire, before Tula shot it in the head.
Outside, visibility was crap in the rain, but Kale’s
telepathy sensed a V’Sori presence on the roof and he alerted Mindstorm! Kale uttered a spell and soared through the
air with Mindstorm, the two landing on the roof as the scientists tried to make
their way to their parked M’Buna! Mindstorm,
without a word, unleashed a burst of electricity that did little to one, but
nearly seized up the heart of the other!
The remaining scientist turned and opened fire with the Terror Gas, but
Kale and Mindstorm dodged, and Kale called forth lightning from the Heavens
that sent the V’Sori to Hades!
Bully broke over the commlink and announced a status update:
That he was now “covered in glory.” He
was overheard commending the unpowered resistance fighters for making up for
how their superpowered fighters chickened out.
Flux and Tula
were on Socks, trying desperately to save his life as Mindstorm kept breaking
over the commlink asking for an update!
Kale finally contacted Flux via telepathy, and told him that he and
Mindstorm would be down to retrieve Socks and Tula , and told Flux to use his control over
the elements to “bring Hell to this facility”.
Socks, conscious but hurt badly, was cracking jokes about
the whole attack, even while Flux was commenting on the burnt scar running
across his face. Tula smiled, touching it lightly, and
commented that “chicks dig scars”.
As Mindstorm, Kale, Socks and Tula bugged out, Flux summoned a massive
firestorm inside the laboratory, sparking a huge explosion centered on the
second floor. Flux strode out of the
building with purpose, Mindstorm and Kale noticing that his duraweave costume
had taken on a bizarre red glow that it hadn’t previously had…
As the two cells went back underground, Tula told Socks that
what he had done, charging head on into the enemy forces, was “not
cowardly”…and she asked him, a little sheepishly, if perhaps he wouldn’t come
back to Tarrytown…sometime.
Dr. Destruction broke over the commlinks, interrupting the
moment, and told the cell that he had an urgent mission for them, stemming from
his conversation’s with the President’s family!
Meanwhile, word spread very quickly about how the mutant
terrorist Mindstorm led a vicious surgical strike on Tarrytown , New York
Notes: Mindstorm broke the squad up this mission, and I
don’t think it worked out well at all…and I don’t think he thought it did…well,
aside from Kale and Mindstorm being in prime position to intercept the V’Sori
scientists. Socks and Tula are developing a bit of a connection,
thus adding another NPC element to the tapestry for the players, which is
cool. Socks was officially Seasoned
going into this, and saw a slight evolution in his powers: He beefed up
Toughness and Parry, while also adding Wall Crawling (claws). Mindstorm officially hit Seasoned at the end
of this session, and thus I am moving the team onto Episode 4 in the Plot Point
campaign. Flux, after nearly killing a
teammate with his cyclone, finally decided to shake up his tactics a bit,
utilizing his other powers.
The adventure deck was used to great effect: Socks drew two
cards, one of which was Second Wind, which he used fighting the G’Rok. Flux wanted the Relic card played, since he
didn’t use his card the last time, so his dramatic firestorm inside the lab has
left his armor/costume with unusual properties (to be determined). At the last bit, Socks swapped his second
card with Mindstorm, giving Mindstorm a +1 charisma for his “amazing deeds”…so
I ruled that word spread quickly about this assault…about Mindstorm in
particular…who is EASILY the face of this cell.
