Technically, she didn't fail. They were ambushed, and Chemista deserted her.

Gentlemen, I need to tell you something. You see, there is a work of classic russian literature entitled "Taras Bulba". In it, there is a scene, in which the titular character is watching his only remaining son being publically executed through torture. It is described in excrutiating detail, how his bones are broken, how his nails are torn off, how his flesh is stripped from his body, how he is eventually hung by his ribs, and yet he refuses to talk. He does not make a sound even, such is his devotion to his father, who asked him to "not let them hear how a christian suffers". And the old Taras watches it from the crowd, unable to do anything but mutter "good son, good son" under his breath.

And you see, I just had a nightmare like this, where Incognito watched Cerulean suffer. They would burn her, they would freeze her, they would crush her in pistons, they would singe her with acid and then solidify her, and the solidified girl would get ground, piece by piece, by rusty cogs, and then they would put her together again and take turns violating her, and the crowd would holler and cheer and bray at the sight, and make bets, and guzzle down food, and masturbate, and laugh, and the reporter would describe each torture, and quip, and snark, and there would be special guests, and a donation drive would be held, and they would offer Cerulean to stop the torture for a minute if she would say sponsored advertising slogans, and the girl would only say "father, save me" again and again and again and again until she could speak no more and the overlord would sit on his throne, watch the feed and only whisper "good girl, good girl" again and again and again and again until he, too, could speak no more, and then he would sit there, silent.

It was rather disquieting.


Seriously. The GM should give our rescue party a +2 in all rolls just because of this. That was kinda awesome.

Edit: Problem with being a lurker is that you dont know the basics of the posting system. Not even knowing how to quote people is depressing.

There is a quote button in the top right of every post.

Anyway, I think we should send an Advisor (probably Gamington or Psysquid) with a detachment of cogs to cause a distraction. Make sure the advisor is aware that the Cogs are expendable but they are not. Meanwhile, we go in with some specialists, all stealthy, release all the other prisoners to cause a second diversion, then get Cerulean.

Do we have the explosives?

Also, I don't think we need to level this place. It's a high security prison. What we need is an all out prison riot. Maybe we can get the potheads to aid.

Spoiler: Proposed mission plan (click to show/hide)

Love it but were not going to "send out a threat to warn them or anything. We go in blow up the power, free prisoners, let prisoners go wild with guns from dead guards, blow another hole in the wall {we did one to get in but we did it anyway for dramatic effect} and then walk out as prisoners tear apart the prison. Hopefully they'll go into town with guns and kill some cops/special forces guy with them.

Also are special forces a swat team for the police or some military black ops kinda stuff?

+1.
I'm voting for Psysquid + fluffy + chimera + cogs on the first one and us + chemista + everything else on the main assault.
(Psysquid can handle himself well in combat, and since Lord Gamington was a cog before, he knowing the cogs are so expendable could make he think about the "what-if-it-was-me" like Cerulean. Should not let it happen again).

Also thanks you for instructions!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You decide you need something powerful.
You grab a hold of Cerulean's plushie, which depending on how it will end will be the last thing you have of her, and throw it on the altar together with her magical crystal and some of Chemista's goo.
She looks at you for a moment as you do that, and when you're about to grab a knife for your blood she states.
"Do you really know what you're doing?"
"Saving my daughter."

With those words, you plunge the dagger in your open palm and watch as crimson blood pours out.

Then the SAD system activates.

There's a bright flash of light, soon followed by the twirling sound of mechanisms and the clanking noise of steam-powered engines. The light soon disappears and, in its place, stands a strange contraption.
Its central body is made of Goo, but within it are flashing bright Magical Crystals, which appear to power up engines placed on its back. Its limbs are Cog-like and mechanical, but the metal used is silver-like and branded with cogs -rather than the Bunny Smoking Cigar symbol.
Its claws open and close as its inner body 'gurbles' to define it in one word. Then its magical crystal flash brightly, and the thing speaks.

"I. Am. Silver Goo-Golem...SilGoo"

"Very well," Chemista remarks. "Go and act like a bloody Hero," she rolls her eyes. "Let's see how far you get, it's a trap, Casternews said so! You'd be better off attacking when they're about to execute her. If you act like you don't care, then they'll lower their guard during the execution."

You decide to ask the others' opinions.
Lord Gamington grimaces.
"Your Evilness...it is not called the HEROES prison for nothing. There are many EVILS kept at bay within its walls. The Execution Chambers are generally the widest and most renowned places to stage a liberation attempt. Of course we can attack the prison outright but...your evilness, there will be heavy resistance."
Psysquid simply states dryly. "We can do it...provided I Guide the operation."
"And how would that work, uh?" Chemista remarks. "What is it, some sort of special-secret skill?"
"I'm a squid," he remarks. "We crack open stuff every time on Discovery channel to show how smart we are. Just need to apply it to prison breaking...it's going to be a cinch."
"We can send two teams," Chemista sighs in defeat, opening up a map. "It's not the first time I plan a prison break. Although I was the Overlord in the old times..."
She shows a map of the prison, and then one of the city. "It's pretty simple, really...but it has a cost, as always."
She points to central area of B-city.
"Cause complete and utter carnage in the residential district. It will be a massive bloodbath. Thousands of people will die, innocent kids, women, whatever...the more you resist, the more time you'll have to infiltrate the prison as the Heroic Heroes will have no choice but to intervene."
That is when Chemista grimaces, "Of course, whoever you send to distract them might not survive at all, yet if you don't send strong enough minions on the distraction, you won't even attract the Heroic Minion's attention."

While you ponder her words you ask yourself another question...

What do you mutate Snowkid with? Seagull or something else?

Let's mutate him with a...polar bear?

Also i think we should ask Psy if he'd like to be on the main assault or distraction. but that's just me.

Also ask chemistra if she and her lab partner can make some explosives to help level the place if the prisoners won't be able to.

Ask our Dark Advisors if any of them are willing to sacrifice themselves. Just ask.
Inquire if it is possible to imitate the carnage without actually killing people. Like, you know, exploding pavement, tearing clothes, stuff that gets shown on cameras whenever evil forces attack.

Or hell, attack the library. State that we are after the secrets of the hero association.

Or something. We need to think. Our daughter is not worth the lives of countless innocents. But are the people in such a fucked-up society innocents?

I believe a seagull will be a good choice for our animesque snowkid.

Gonna suggest something kinda radical.

We are Incognito, the master of Control. We already showed our proficiency in getting in undetected.
I suggest we let Psysquid+Chemista (if this is Downkeep, we should be able to do it. shadenight only said two advisors can't participate together on missions) plus cogs and stealthy units to the prison breaking and we lead ourselves the distraction. Would certainly be distractive, to have the Evil Overlord himself raping the weakest part of town.
Then we can get the fuck out using our ability (In The Dark Of Night).

Good/bad idea?

We could distract by attacking Newscast Station.
Also, mutate the new kid with a starfish. These things are regenerative! Hulk had it! What if we can make a Hulk ourselves?

Curse our Standards. "Do it. It's impossible to change HEROES into a worthy adversary, because of that city. Try to prioritise your targets, though. If you have a choice between one that fears you and one that hates you, go for the hateful one, even if the fearful one is closer."

We can't afford to risk mutating the Sidekick right now. Leave him as he is until later.

"Psysquid, Black Ice (that's the kid's Evil title now), you're with me. Chemista, Lord Gamington, you're causing the distraction. The Guatfish will be with me, and Fluffy will accompany your team. Cogs will be equal on both sides. Now..."

Turn dramatically as we prepare to set out.

"Let's go teach HEROES a lesson they'll never forget."

EXPLOSIVES IF WE WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE OF "DONT FUCK WITH US HEROES" WE NEED TO BLOW THAT HIGH_SECURITY PRISON AND HOPEFULLY LET THE PRISONERS GET REVENGE ON THE SOCIETY THAT LOCKED THEM UP.

"Let's go teach HEROES a lesson they'll never forget."


Also for the future i think we need to have a some kind of league of super evil. We can kidnap some drug king-pins, college professors, and other mid-level society holders and mutate them. Then send them out to start small gangs that comepete against each other.

the ganglord will lead his lizard people and have a "friendly competition" with the professor and his communist panda/chinese triad gang. They can cause some discord by attacking city square, blow up police stations, rob banks, etc all in order to force town-B {what happened to town-A?} under our power. Then we'll have free-reign in the city.

Say in addition to the above: "Such a twisted society... If we are evil, then what are these heroes? Gamington, Chemista, I trust you will make the distraction as light on death as possible. Try to explode things. Scream. Break some limbs, vandalise the shops. But please, do not be like the heroes. We have standards, the only ones who do on this damn planet! If we do not show mercy, who will?

Chemista, I have already witnessed your ability to escape, so i do not worry about you. Gamington, please do not fight the heroes. The moment they show up, run. I need you alive. I need you all alive."

Is sending Chemista on distraction truly wise? She could sneak into the prison with us.

Ponder attacking the Casternews main building. It will piss off the heroes, and the people we are going to kill are not innocent.


As for the Black Ice, mutating him won't take long and with all the bonuses is guaranteed to succeed. My vote is still seagull.

And take Silgoo with us.

Why causing one distraction when we can cause multiple? Why staying in one place blowing stuff when we can blow up stuff in different places? You know, we use the distraction team to blow important places all over the city. That way the heroes will be both distracted and spread out.
