winterhawk Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I'm currently running a campaign in Las Vegas, so when I ran across this article: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040318/ap_en_mu/elvis_jewelry_theft_1 ...I knew I had to do something with it. So who commited the theft? DEMON, realizing that some trinket of The King's is an ancient mystical artifiact? GRAB, on commission for some less that scrupulous collector? Foxbat, 'cause he's Foxbat? Any suggestions welcomed and appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPheemy Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 It's CLOWN. Now that Steve has removed them from Champions Universe continuity, Merry Andrew and company have escaped into the real world. Look for a clownfaced Elvis impersonater doing road shows and finishing his set by shooting a television with the jeweled handgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost who Walks Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 An I thought what I had done to the King was bad. I just had him get kidnapped by a time-travelling sorceress (who also took Marilyn and both Kennedys) who was kidnapping them for reason of her own. Unfortunately for her, Genghis Khan wandered into the same Room as Emporer Caligula, and their ensuing battle destroyed her time machine, scattereing her abductees across the time stream. Elvis ended up 50,000 years in the past, on Mars. He opened up a bar and did a brisk business selling 'firewater' to the Martians. He later was abducted again by the men in Black, hours before the PC's could rescue him. The only PC's have about his current whereabout is the remains of a rhinestone-studded jumpsuit found in an otherwise empty egyptian sarcophagous.

Lord Liaden Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 winterhawk, do any of your PCs have Vulnerabilities or Susceptibilities to any gemlike or metallic substances? Perhaps those could have been used in some cheap jewjaws that caught the King's fancy, which enemies of your heroes recognized. Another possibility is an actual cult of Elvis worshippers (probably not unknown in real life) who need some of his possessions for a necromantic ritual designed to bring Presley back to life. Being amateurs, though, it wouldn't be surprising if their spells went awry, and called up something much worse... Any DNPCs who might have gotten caught up in such a group?

winterhawk Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Glad someone mentioned Bubba Hotep...I love that film. Taking a cue from that film and a plot from SciFi's "The Chronicle": Elvis discovers a clutch of vampires while performing in Chicago in 1972. With the help of reporter Karl Kolchak, he manages to defeat the coven, but realizes that there is much more supernatural evil out there (Thanks to the vivid accounts of Karl Kolchak). He hires the best of his many impersonators to fill in for him, and travels the globe, training himself to become a nemisis of supernatural evil. While the impersonator dies from his many vices, The King fights a shadow war against the supernatural. He rolls into Vegas hot on the trail of an reanimated Aztec Mummy. Realizing that some of his jewelry was forged from pilfered Aztec gold, he breaks into the museum in order to forge a bullet to kill the beast. freakboy and Ghost...those are some great ideas!

Ghost who Walks Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 You can never go wrong by using Karl Kolchak! Greatest...Occult...Investigator...of all time! For some reason, I keep seeing Elvis as a member of the cast of Rengade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest...Occult...Investigator...of all time! I agree. The Elvis/Karl Kolchak thing was a one shot run by a buddy of mine (also a huge Nightstalker fan), they also teamed up with Pepper Anderson (Police Woman). Instead of the Aztec Mummy thing, I ended up tying up a lose plot thread from the sister campaign involving Anubis. Pretty neat battle at the Luxor.
