Just posted Grim's attempt at a basic strategy.

Grim murmurs "I'm right here" just before resting her hand on Nightrival's arm; her near-invisibility makes her very conscious of keeping her boss 'in the loop' about her location as much as possible. She quickly surveys the scene below before offering a suggestion.

"How about I head over to the black guy, make sure he's safe, while you take care of the baddies closest to him?"

I think Nano would be able to power up if he absorbed the kitchen, yeah, but wow, I think those poor chefs would be ticked...

I'll poke the various GMs, see if any of them would be interested, or even have the book. I think Heridfel does, but I'm not sure about Barnum or Cos.

Hmm, methinks the GMs might be otherwise occupied, so maybe we should take care of this ourselves, since I don't wnat to lose the momementum we've developed. Can you give me a breif rundown on the Clique and any powers? What I'm thinking of doing is posting for Grim having some sort of quip, jibe or comeback, and then we hear screams and the sounds of something (gun firing, zappy sound, etc) and a voice yelling "Nobody move!" or the like, and then having Grim peek her head out of the john, and then you can go from there - how's that sound, VM?

Well I really hate doing that. It doesn't take much to write a quick summary to keep it clear what people know and don't know. I'll put up a summary for it now so that there is no misunderstandings.

That's fine, just giving you the option; the summary does work better.

My last post was designed to 'edit out' any explanation of the heist, so we can 'cut to' a later point and assume Red knows as much as the others ;)

The Ghost watched the others leave before turning his gaze upon Queen. "Seems you got here a little late, but not to worry. There's more for you to do. You heard where Collateral's base is, right? If you join us, you can take part in the job. A little shopping spree that I had in mind. If you're really bored, why don't you join us." He smiles at Red Queen before finishing off his beer.

The Irish sorceress returns Ghost's smile, takes a seat and swirls her drink.

"That I might; 'tis been a while since I had a job. I can be just about anywhere in the blink of an eye, so we can bide a while, and ye fill me in on the details, yeah?"

Couldnt really find a fit for him as a hero, so i kinda threw him in as a villain. I think it'd lead to more opportunities for him to utilize his power.

That's cool.

I hate frickin' flamethrowers!

At first Grim is prepared for the worst, but she releases a sigh of relief when she sees Rival is okay; shortly thereafter, the young heroine's jaw drops as she watches the breathtaking display of butt-kicking NR puts on.

Wow - there is no way I can compete with that, so I won't even try.

Still invisible, she decides to trash the shipment as best she can; Grim grabs the black bricks out of the crates two at a time, and whips them as hard as she can at the goons standing at the back of the truck. She softly hums 'The Blue Danube' to herself as she goes into a sort of spinning, hopping dance, partly out of sheer mischievous enjoyment and partly to avoid any angry flames that might shoot her way.

I am somewhat curious as to what Imposter is doing in the Arena; it looks like he's listed under Heroes in the Character Bank, but did he have a change of heart ala Nanowire, or is he going undercover? Just wondering.

Well, I've got two ideas on the subject. Owing to Nanowire's flaw, he cannot simply "armor up" whenever he feels like it. He needs a substantial amount of machinery in order to do so. He might be able to activate his Variable Blaster power by plugging himself into an outlet or the like, but other than that, he's out of luck.

Therefore, we could simply have normal punks try to bust up the party. Nanowire's got a fair amount of protection, even out of armor, so he should be fairly well off. But it will be mostly Grimalkin's show, which should make you happy, Heritage.

There is one other option: we could use some baddies from the Crooks! supplement. The Clique, who while not upgraded to 2nd ed, would only require a modicum of effort to do so, and are a much more manageable 7-10 PL. (The bigger PLs aren't even the fighters, either) If you don't have that supplement, then I would be happy to be the ref for them.

Or it's possible we could get some other fantastically awesome GM to play them.

Anyway, that's my plan(s). Would either work for you?

I think I'd like that second option more, especially if refed by a third party GM (I do not have said book either way). If we got you into the kitchen area, with various stoves, microwaves and espresso machines, would you have enough to work with to power up, if need be? We'd need to be careful of any gas-related dangers, of course :o

I would be down with this :clap:

While Faye is sipping her drink, her eyes fall upon a nearby table, where several odd-looking individuals are engaged in a spirited discussion; a few of them in turn take notice of her, and one of them, a rather frightening-looking plant woman of some kind, motions for her to join them. Faye pursues her lips as she considers the offered chair.

That lot is up to something, maybe a job? It's always nice to meet new people. :roll:

At last she shrugs and strides on over, raising her glass in greeting.

"Evening, gentlemen and lady; mind if I have a sit down? Me name's Red Queen, I'm bored and I'm available."

Hey, if you want it, go for it. We're pretty much equally GMs on this one, so if one of us wants to introduce story elements, then we should feel free.

I've been looking through the Freedom City book, and pretty much all the baddies are PL10, if not higher, which poses a bit of a challenge;no only are Grim and Nano from opposite sides of the law, they come from different Power Levels as well

The basic idea I have is some sort of hostage situation; a small group of baddies are committing a robbery of some kind in the Riverside area, they run afoul of a super or supers, and they decide to take the patrons of the nearest restaurant hostage, which just happens to be the Monorail Cafe. My first thought was two or three members of the Power Corps, but someone else could just as easily do it. This would be a potential situation where both Nano and Grim's powers would be of use; the only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not to try and balance the encounter by using a a mixture of lower and higher PL baddies, or just trust to the fates and stick with PL10s.

Any suggestions?
