Marcus Impudite Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Kara Loft, self-styled "Tomb Explorer" (and shameless Lara Croft rip-off), is missing after traveling to Egypt in search of yet another lost tomb. Somehow, your character got roped into going to Egypt to take part in the search for Kara, and while out in the desert came across her Jeep, partially buried by a sand storm. A search of the immediate area uncovers a heavy stone door and beyond it, stairs leading down into a secret underground tomb (very likely the one Ms. Loft was looking for when she went missing). Sure enough, there are footprints going down into tomb which match the type of boots Kara usually wears. The tomb seems to consist of a single chamber with only one sarcophagus in the center of the room. Looking around, your character notices two other things about this chamber: 1) Paintings and hieroglyphs on the walls, which seem to have been recently painted no less, appear to tell the story of Kara Loft's life right up until the moment she came down into this chamber. 2) Kara's boots, gun belt, and clothes are in a pile in a corner of the room. WWYCD? For those of you who haven't already put two and two together, Kara Loft is in the sarcophagus, wrapped up like a mummy. She's still very much alive, but magical charms woven into her wrappings are maintaining her in a state of "Eternal Slumber". It appears whoever it was that did this to her is already long gone, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuestionMan Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt I would Unwrap my present and collect my reward! Cougar's swahbuckling chivalry would kick in. Sundancer would free the hostage, give her her stuff, and then join her in arresting her kidnapper. Hmmm...

Mister Trent Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt And here I thought the Rame Tep cult got put down for good during the Victorian age... Get Kara out of the sarcophagus and revive her, and assuming she can identify whoever was responsible, go give them a thrashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Redfield Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt My character would be Kara Loft, only she'd get herself out of the mess and team up with the surprised hero(es) to take down the people responsible!

Mister Trent Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt I'm surprised no one has made a pun about Miss Loft getting wrapped up in her work... [ducks] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt Free guns! Free Jeep too, though the boots would cost, according to the Skimwords link. Anyway, if this was Justice, Inc., The Indian Rubber Kid With No Name would be going through the paintings looking for blackmail material. My other characters would likely do the standard rescue, though Diabolus would probably put on her clothes and gear first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire Redfield Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt Well, I couldn't figure out how to get the uzis the same price as the ones in the book, and I'm very unfamiliar with things, but here is my character. I don't even know if I got the formatting correct. Ms. Loft would be just getting out of the sarcophagus when the heroes arrive, figure they are tied to the villains who did this and a Misunderstanding would ensue! Then a team-up adventure!

Wormhole Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt Pretty Much All My Characters: Get the lid off that sarcophagus, unwrap her enough that she can get up and move around on her own, and hand her her stuff. Then do the gentlemanly thing and turn around while she gets the rest to the bandages off and gets dressed. Hardware: Since the OP says we only see Kara's footprints going down the stairs, he gets out one of his sensor devices and checks the walls for hidden doors and checks the room for energy signatures consistent with the most common forms of Teleportation. Tiger Shark: When you've been mutated into a man-shark creature, going out into the middle of a desert isn't such a great idea, so it's unlikely he'd be present for this one.

Lara Croft-type characters strike me as being more inclined to use handguns rather than full-bore submachine guns; in this day and age, making use of such a weapon -- when most people don't really have the need to -- runs the risk of its owner being tagged as a potential terrorist. On top of that, there's the fact that the Uzi itself is a fairly hefty piece of metal, weighing in at just over 8 pounds (about the same weight as a high-school shotput ball); that's an awful lot of weight to be lugging around for any length of time, much less two of them. If you want to have Kara use a pair of Uzis, then might I suggest that you switch out the full-bore Uzis for a pair of Micro-Uzis instead? Not only do they do the same amount of damage, but at 4.28 pounds each, the two SMGs together only weigh a little bit more than their parent design. Going with the smaller size SMGs would also let her carry some extra magazines (a good idea in any event, since the Micro-Uzi only has a 15-round capacity). If you were to have her use handguns like Lara Croft, however, you could always have her use paired Desert Eagle autopistols in either .357 Magnum caliber (3.9 lbs., 9-round magazine, and 1 1/2d6 dam- age per shot), or .44 Magnum caliber (4.28 lbs., 8-round magazine, and 2d6 damage per shot); these weapons are pretty much what the picture you included with the writeup shows the heroine using. These are just suggestions, though; I just wanted to toss in my slightly more than 2 cents into this discussion. Major Tom 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would give Lara, um sorry Kara, an 18 INT. She is very smart and thinks fast which is what Hero INT really measures. Also, since you bought up all of her INT based skills, it would save points. You could use those saved points to buy up her Presence. Lara, um Kara, has a high presence judging by her ability to face the most fearsome of opponents and make jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jim Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt I like the write-up, but my initial quibble is with the gun stats. I don't know 6th, but does it require 0 END on something with Charges? And Uzi's are really rugged and reliable, so I disagree with the Fragile part of the OAF.

Claire Redfield Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt I love the games. Thanks for the tips, folks. I love Lara, so I'll try for a more honest attempt here soon. I'm still learning HERO! If any of you all wanna go a couple forums down and help me with Mega Man...

Drhoz Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Re: Kara Loft: Lost In The Sands Of Egypt Given that Vitus is currently in Egypt, and has been poking around various tombs, this is almost plausible. Of course, since he's doing so in the Call of Cthulhu universe, the moment he discovers the murals, and the vanished tomb-robber, alarm bells will start ringing. He might even suspect a few White Apes of Truth to be involved. Either way, the sarcophagus is probably going to get nuked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
