Beetle Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Re: Live Free or Game Episode 4b – Hey buddy, nuke this! Fresh off their victory against Dr. Blank’s flunkies, the team (still without a name) learns that Nanomancer is making a move against the nuclear power plant in Seabrook, NH. The team rushes to the rescue. Nanomancer is in full powered armor, and has robot backup. Sentry is completely unable to harm them (no killing attacks), so it falls to Aurora and Bladedancer to keep him from messing with the reactor. They accomplish this, but not before he fires an EMP pulse that fries the electrical circuits of (among other things) a plane flying overhead. While that was happening, a Japanese superhero arrived to give Bladedancer grief about being Amber Blaze’s brother (finally, Sentry’s basic knowledge of Japanese comes in handy). He agrees to put his complaining on hold to help Aurora safely land the crippled plane (Aurora was also holding on to a grabbed Nanomancer with her off hand). The plane was saved, and the villain was placed in Stronghold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Re: Live Free or Game Episode 4c – We need a snake charmer in the ER, stat! The heroes barely had time to catch their breath before learning that Viper was launching an assault against Mass. General Hospital. This was strange, because the Boston Viper nests had always preferred subtlety to outright carnage. Aurora’s great speed came in handy again as she flew the team back to Boston in a few seconds. The team split up when they arrived at the scene – Bladedancer to face the Viper agents on the ground, Sentry to secure the victims being treated (the likely targets of the attack) and Aurora to take out the Viper airships. Sentry reached the targets (who included Aurora’s mom) when the roof was ripped open and Ripper and Black Mamba dropped down. Sentry used a flash pellet on Ripper and (barely) fought of Black Mamba – while Oculon leaned down the hole in the roof and took occasional potshots. Once Mamba was down, Sentry kept dodging Ripper and using a flash pellet each time his vision cleared. Aurora, meanwhile, was disabling Viper equipment and crashing airships with glee, amazing all of the onlookers. As Viper began to fall back, Oculon and Black Mamba left as well. That left Ripper and Sentry on the roof of the hospital, when Sentry’s “sidekick” swung to her aid. He actually knocked Ripper down with a legsweep, after which Sentry ordered him off the roof. Ripper got up, saw his companions gone, and leaped away. Sentry didn’t chase because she was out of flash pellets and way out of her league. While this was going on, Bladedancer was having his usual bad luck against agents. He was knocked unconscious by Viper rifle fire and captured. He woke up in the back of a moving van, without his sword. He managed to overpower his captors and jump out of the van. Retracing its route, he eventually found his sword in a dumpster, where the Viper agents had tossed it after discovering they couldn’t use it. Coming Soon - Episode 5: "Coffee With the Rookies", or "I'm tired of these snakes in this campaign!" or "Is that a Grond in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?"

Shigeru Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Re: Live Free or Game Thanks for picking this up, Beetle (both the GMing and the updating). I've been a total slacker. Then again, journalism was never my gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
