RECRUITMENT REPORTS

The Watch spin-off a team in Leadville, Watchtower.

The Watch hold a tryout, [2+3] five heroes turn up:

Spoiler: The Watch Tryout (click to show/hide)

Name |   Known Powers | Traits | Fame
Jennifer | Normality Field | Boring, Friendly, Unheroic | -1
Lovehandles | Self-Inertia Manipulation | Hates Lynxx, Slovenly, Comedian, Destructive, Slow | 3
Captain Georgia | Super strength and durability linked to peanut consumption | Strong, Serious, Blunt | 4
Ziggurat | Tower Creation | Practical, Intelligent, Inhibited | 6
Plumbaris | Ranged weight manipulation | Crude, Playful, Educated, Loves Lady Lefant | 9

Ziggurat is deemed most cohesive and joins The Watch:

Name |   Known Powers | Traits | Fame
Ziggurat | Tower Creation | Practical, Intelligent, Inhibited | 6

Ziggurat, wearing a tiered set of robes, takes a tour of the base. As he does, he raises up a few additional pillars in the underground space, they emerge smoothly out of the ground as fresh polished stone. "It's fine now, you did a good job, but perhaps in ten years you'd see some subsidence."

He's semi-famous over in Las Destinos for rebuilding the Pyramid of Destiny casino after it was bombed by Holy Terror. "It needed doing and I could do it," he shrugs when asked.


Spider Knights and Cursed Legacy both try to recruit Reflux! (50/50 chance). Spider Knights get there first!

Spider Knights successfully recruit Reflux:

Name |   Known Powers | Traits | Fame
Reflux | Matter Transformation | Teenager, Vengeful, Determined | 0

Reflux has a dark multi-matter costume made by her own power. Lynxxx takes her up to HellTooth's old penthouse apartment to meet the rest of the gang.

"One thing you've got to know about me," Reflux says on the elevator. "I'm not gonna stop until every last one of those Crimson bastards are vaporised. That gonna be a problem?"

Lynxxx smiles. "We're not afraid of a little bloodshed, sweetheart," Lynxxx assures her.

When they enter the apartment, she meets Ectoboy and Bitter Candy, out of their costumes. They invite the girl to have some food with then. She takes off steel helmet off, and introduces herself as Aliyah Williams. The very same girl who killed Antonine the Crimson Plague assassin. Antonine who was at that same moment lying low, possessing Ectoboy.

Ectoboy calmly walked into the kitchen, picked up a steak knife and concealed it in his bedsheet-sleeve. He walked casually back to the dining table where Reflux was sitting with the others.

Inside Ectoboy's mind, the boy was fighting for control with the strong-willed Antonine. But he couldn't wrestle back control.

At the last moment, Reflux caught sight of Ectoboy behind her as he stabbed towards her with the blade. She got away in just the last moment and span around, turning the knife to sand. Lynxxx and Bitter Candy, confused by this erratic behaviour, thinking it a repeat of his outburst against Spawn of Satan, wrestled the boy to the ground.

"What the hell!" Reflux shouted.

[cohesion: Bitter Candy:1+1, Lynxxx: 6+5+1]

"I can't take this insanity any more, I'm out," Bitter Candy says, storming off.

"There's something wrong with this sweet boy. We can get to the bottom of this!" Lynxxx insisted.

Reflux, needless to say, was not going to join a team that had tried to kill her.

"I don't know what came over me," Antonine-in-Ectoboy lied.

OUTCOME
Bitter Candy gains trait "Distrusts Ectoboy" and leaves the Spider Knights.
Reflux gains trait "Distrusts Ectoboy" and leaves the Spider Knights.
Lynxxx gains trait "Determined to save Ectoboy"
Ectoboy gains +1 infamy.


House Edge recruit Lord Bombarell with Clemency:

Name | Known Powers | Traits | Infamy | Motivation
Lord Bombarrel | Unusual bomb-making | Known Killer, Old, Prepared, Mad, Ingenious | 6 | Getting and Staying out of prison

Lord Bombarrel is escorted to his new home. He's already begun fashioning a makeshift flashbang out of the phone the prison gave him on release, using a concealed shiv as a screwdriver.

Tin Soldier looks at his old nemesis. "Well well well, who'd have thought we'd be fighting on the same side?"

Lord Bombarrel laughs, "It was fated in our stars old boy. We're going to die on the same day, mark my words. Now... who do I have to blow up to get the parole officer off my back?"


Route Horizon recruit Ponche with Clemency:

Name | Known Powers | Traits | Infamy | Motivation
Ponche | Alcohol generation/combustion/consumption, Superhuman pugilism when drunk | Crude, Robust, Forgiving | 1 | Feel appreciated for her talents

Ponche pokes about Route Horizon's garage. "Sweet rides you got, chico," she says.

Endless Highway nods.

"So, who do I got to screw to get a drink around here?"

She looks at the others and takes in their expressions with obvious glee.

"I joke, I joke, well... not about the drink. I need it. For my... powers," she insists.


MISSION PHASE 8

PURCHASING

Chiffon has started a bakery service. The Watch and PUNCH! get two free pastries for this phase and the next. New suit available.

Spoiler: Tags (click to show/hide)

[First Come]: Whichever team gets there first will resolve the mission, others don't get a look-in
[Time Sensitive]: Teams which get there first get the first attempt and might resolve things before the other teams arrive
[Heroes: X]: Only the first X heroes to arrive will be able to do this mission.
[X Limit]: Only heroes who meet Y limitation will be able to go (e.g. fame, size, power-type, trait)
[Deadly]: All but the toughest or hardest to harm heroes risk injury, and possible death.
[Harrowing]: The cohesion of teams will be pushed to its limit.
[Recurring]: This mission will keep appearing until someone succeeds, though there may be consequences for not attending to it, and the difficulty may escalate with failed attempts.
[Mutually Exclusive]: Twinned missions, where one team cannot send someone on both sides.
[High Profile]: Guaranteed individual fame for all attendees.

#0 Personal Mission
You may assign a person for a personal mission. Name one of the following goals, assign someone to it, and you will either gain a related opportunity in the opportunity phase, or some immediate increase of intelligence.

Spoiler: Personal Missions (click to show/hide)

1. Increase base size
2. Increase income.
3. Bond with a teammate (both are tied up for the mission)
4. Patrol [neighbourhood]
5. Create an asset (give an idea of what you want to make, must have appropriate power set)
6. Investigate a [hero, villain or team]
7. Experiment with powers
8. Rest
9. Create a business

#1 Heart of Marigold
[Heroes: 10]
Marigold is trying to help people out directly, providing food in a soup kitchen Downtown, where she also will be giving homeless people gold chits. She's worried about being kidnapped again, so would like up to ten other heroes to help her set things up. She promises to pay handsomely for each person coming.

#2 Bad Joke
[Recurring][Harrowing][High-Profile]
Dark Humor have become affiliated with the Crimson Plague and have started their offensive in Hermitage. Cursed Legacy are laid up with injury and weren't able to recruit more help, and so the whole neighbourhood has been locked down by increasing numbers of people bloodbound to Sanguine. With her blood control in full force, who knows how many neighbourhoods Dark Humor could take over.

#3 King Cleaver
[Recurring][Deadly][High-Profile]
Bill Cleaver has expanded out his territory, taking control of several blocks in Warren. At this rate, the whole of the Mire may soon be in his grasp. He allows businesses and residents to freely go about their business, so long as they pay him a tithe. With so many counter-measures, and now with Cutting Edge under his thumb it will be difficult to uproot him. Also there are reports of strange technology carried by his footsoldiers.

#4 Flesh Factory
[Time Sensitive]
More strange creatures have been spotted coming in and out of the grates of the Mireton sewers. Preliminary investigation suggests that this may be where Anthrax is creating his hordes of little monsters! It seems he packs up and moves frequently, so the window of opportunity may be slim.

Spoiler: Neighbourhoods of Zircon City (click to show/hide)

You will arrive at the scene quicker to missions in your own neighbourhood.



Downtown: Commercial and financial centre of the city
Oldtown: Political and historical centre of the city
Docks: Warehouses, wharfs and derelict cargo ships
Dusk Beach: Waterside nightclubs and casinos, most alive at night
Silver Row: the famed shopping and culture hub
Atomic Heights: An area with a concentration of scientific and technological companies
Montgomery: A middle-income urban neighbourhood, home to the large Montgomery Park
Warren: A low-income urban neighbourhood with many narrow alleyways
Greenbelt: the semi-rural outskirts of the city where the very wealthy have their estates
Sandup: Ongoing reclamation project in former swamp; currently a huge construction site
Mireton: Old mixed-income neighbourhood, now full of trendy cafes
Hermitage: wealthy suburban neighbourhood, home of the Zircon Cathedral

KNOWN PATROLS
Montgomery: Cutting Edge
Hermitage: Cursed Legacy
Sandup: Bittern

[Stirk]

#2 is probably the most pressing, but since we don't have anything that can be considered "nonlethal" the rest of you are going to have to handle it.

Luke, PB, Spork, Tin Soldier, and a load of guns to #3. Bill thinks he's clever coming up with countermeasures. None of our powers can be countered and we can just shoot him a bunch, plus two of our men are pretty much unkillable making them fit for the deadly mission.

Lord Bombarrel is as previously established clearing the base with explosives.

Name: Luke Teach
Gender: Male
Appearance: An out of shape man in his 30s with male pattern baldness. Wears an overpriced suit with armored lining. What's left of his hair is black, with dark brown eyes.
Alter-ego/backstory: Luke was a janitor at the local university before awakening his powers. With no close friends or family, he was considered by most people to be a loser. One day gambling at Big Pig after a night of drinking he was caught in the middle of a super hero battle, which would have certainly killed him if it was not for his powers awakening. With his new found powers he immediately begun amassing wealth and success. Feeling unfulfilled after having success handed to him (and perhaps spurred on by his new found desire for conflict) he decided to go into the super hero business, setting the place he discovered his powers as headquarters out of a sense of nostalgia.
Power: Probability Manipulation: Ambient physical distortions and enhanced dexterity resulting in uncanny "lucky" aura. Gadget arm, I swear I had it on my sheet at some point.

[Egan_BW]

Bloodmoon and Cephala head for Hermitage to make a few Bad Jokes of their own!
They'll focus less on damage control and more on finding Sanguine and making sure she gets deaded. They'll also each bring a pastry.

Mistress Extra and Princess Professional go on a date in Atomic Heights, away from the various deadly struggles.
Look, I know the city's burning down, but some things are still important.

Leader
Name: Caroline Frisk (real name)/Retry (“super” name)/DeterminedDreamer (online username)
Gender: Female
Appearance: A young woman with short, auburn hair and red eyes that lack pupils, instead consisting of a seemingly endless set of concentric rings. While fighting crime, Retry wears a long, dark-green hooded coat over a suit of gold-looking armor, as well as a heart necklace. Presumably, the armor's interior is padded to similar comfort levels as her older clothing. She wields a pair of tonfas.
Alter-ego/backstory: Caroline, like many people with too much curiosity and free time and not enough sense of self-preservation, decided that it would be fun to go explore an abandoned facility to see if she could find anything interesting. For a variety of reasons, this was an enormous mistake, as some facilities are either abandoned for a reason or are less abandoned than they first seem. Now, she’s not exactly talking about any of the specifics of what happened, but it certainly seems that she regrets what she did. Except for the small fact that it doesn’t seem she ever actually did it, and her accounting of what day it is was off by one.
Power: Stable Time Loop: Retry casts herself back into the past, or perhaps she foresees forward... in either case, with concentration and over short periods, from her perspective appears to reset the position of reality from a few seconds to minutes.
+Super-strength, +Super-jumping
Traits: Tries everything, Thoughtful, Mute, Guilt-Ridden, Bulletproof Armor, Electrogirdle, Tires Easily

Electrogirdle: wearer gains powers "Super Strength", "Super Jumping" and trait "Tires easily" while it is worn.

DARK HUMOR MISSION
Retry, Frostara, and Ziggurat
Crowd control (walls, pillars) and savescumming
Freeze mist and blood, might stop powers
Donut for Zig
Sang gets to eat shit, minimize other harm

"'Donut for Zig'?"
"Chiffon - used to be a Watch member, technically the door's still open to her - she makes power-granting pastries. After Retry and Saluki rescued her from the Cleavers, she decided to set up a business selling them. We're getting four for free, two this week, two next."
"I... see."

Caroline tapped the whiteboard again to get everybody's attention back.

CLEAVERS MISSION
Void and Doc
Tank/DPS and debuff
Eat shots, shoot assholes, fuck with their tech
Doc gets a cookie
Don't kill Edgelords, Cleavers fair game

"Since when am I 'Doc'?"
"Since now, it seems. C- Retry, these plans are significantly more violent than usual."

Cleavers kidnapped Chif, Marigold, and the Edgelords. Plague killed Mistree, is mind-controlling people, and I'm pretty sure they were behind killing Sally. They all get to eat shit, die in a fire, and rot in hell.

"You're angry."

Caroline gives Allison a look. Of course not. Why ever would you think that.

The nonverbal sarcasm failed to immolate the cryokinetic superheroine, who simply sighed. "Regardless, your planning skills don't seem to be negatively impacted. Does anybody have any opposition to what's been outlined here?"

The silence of confirmation was brief, before the team started getting down to details.


Mission 2: Retry, Frostara, and Ziggurat. Zig gets a donut.
Mission 3: Void and Dr. Hijank. Hijank gets a cookie.

On the grounds of being permanently broke, the Watch is officially renouncing their offer to pay for property damage. They will still be attempting to avoid causing it, however.

I'll note that why they are less vengeful than a tentacle wielding villain, "Doc" did a number on House Edge and there will plausibly be tension if they're deployed in the same area.

[Glass]

There's not a whole lot of mission options, I don't want her assigned to a mission by herself, and due to the Cleavers using tech, they're probably where she has the best chance of being effective.
Also, NQT has stated that the Odd Squad's desire for vengeance was primarily concentrated on HellTooth.

Doc killed PB&J a bunch, wounded Spork, and took Luke's arm with the car stunt. Vengeance would go in the other direction :V

They where not involved in Pongo's death because they where resting after the Odd Squad injured them two turns in a row.

[Glass]

Hmn.

Well, it’ll be a big mission. Hopefully they mostly just won’t get a chance to interact.
But seriously, it’s the place where Hijank will be most effective, it’s the place where Void will be most effective, and it’s a place that the Watch is invested in fixing. Plus the Mireton mission is far away and on a time limit while the Cleavers aren’t.

Full deployment to Mission 4.

[Kashyyk]

Whelp. I really need money. And to not have wounded heroes.

Mentat and Película, you two go help out Marigold (#1). It should be fairly straightforward. Mentat can keep his mind out for any hostiles, whilst Película can keep an illusory Bodyguard detail up. Also, Mentat, see if you can't borrow a handgun from House Edge.

Nitrox, you're still feeling pretty rough. Sleep it off.  (#0.8)

Camarada and Crackler, I want you to work with the Watch. Camarada, help Retry and her team deal with Dark Humour (#2) you've already got some experience with them there. Cracker, nlink up with Void and Hijank. There'll no doubt be fancy tech for you to mess with, and I'm sure you and Hijank can figure something fun to do with Electricity.

Name: Jack Dandy
Gender: Male
Appearance: A tall, handsome man with a muscular frame, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a cleft chin.
Alter-ego/backstory: Jack Dandy was born Donald Arthur Whisk, but took up a more pleasing stage name at the age of 13. At 15 he landed a breakout role as the spunky sidekick in a cheap but popular science fiction flick, which taught him that not only could he succeed as an actor, he could inspire people while doing it. As he grew older, he transitioned from heroic supporting roles to the main man himself, but he never lost the humility and enthusiasm that made him so popular with audiences. One day during a difficult shoot, a costar was almost crushed by a collapsing prop before Jack was able to leap to his rescue from some thirty feet away. Jack Dandy has been inspiring and entertaining on a bigger stage ever since.

MISSION 8 REPORTS

Spoiler: #0 Personal Missions (click to show/hide)

At the very height of Atomic Heights, at the top of the tallest hill, there is an all-night diner, The Red Rocket. Princess Professional and Mistress Extra, out of costume, incognito as themselves, as far from the trouble as possible, are trying to take a night off.

They drink milkshakes and eat cherry pie and talk about themselves. Extra shares her love of watching little fish and an ambition to one day have a huge aquarium full of the delicious little creatures. Princess admits that she's not really a real princess, but is in fact the third daughter of the self-styled Peanut King of Georgia. Both her sisters and her little brother all got powers too, but none of the others believe that she has them. They think she's just making things up when she says being good at making organisational charts is a real power. She had to move across the country to Zircon City just to get away from that stultifying environment.

Extra is unequivocal in her belief in Princess Professional's prowess. She encourages her to believe in herself, or failing that, believe in the Mistress that believes in the Princess.

They leave into the night to the sound of gunshots, distant explosions and power-induced earthquakes.

"We should do this again sometime," Princess Professional says, grinning.

"Soon!" Mistress Extra confirms.

Extra gains trait: "Friends with Princess Professional"
Princess Professional gains trait: "Friends with Princess Professional"


Lexicon flicks through Joshua Tree's rambling case notes on the Spawn of Satan.

"Hmm."

There's a lot of theological speculation, but the detective work is limited. Lexicon decides to try and crack Spawn's identity. The child wears no disguise over than being bright red, with horns and a tail. So he searched the newspapers for the first reported sightings of Spawn and used his ability to speak officialese to pretend to be a local superintendent and trick every school in Zircon City into giving him copies of their enrollment and truancy records. He figured Spawn wasn't going back to school looking like that, the child had set himself on fire, there was no way that was just makeup.

Eventually he had a list of children who stopped attending school at about the right time, and ith careful scrutiny of various school photos, he narrowed it down to just one boy: Barry Trung.

"Well, well, well..."

He was a child, often bullied and isolated, raised in an orphanage run by nuns associated with the Zircon Cathedral. Lexicon speaks with some of these nuns. One of them says, "Mr Trung? All little boys have the devil at their shoulders and no more so than him. So as we was always saying, sir. Before the fire. We thinks he started it sir."

It transpired, that shortly before the first sighting of the Spawn of Satan, the orphanage had burned down. Little Barry Trung had not been seen since.

It seems to Lexicon that either this child really is the son of the devil... or being constantly been called the son of the devil by these nuns had a profound influence on how his powers manifested. Lexicon gained his own powers after briefly acheiving oneness with all mankind after a psychedelic trip in the desert, during a despair-laden comedown where he feared he would never be close to anyone again like that.

Spoiler: #1 Heart of Marigold (click to show/hide)

Marigold has taken over a community center next to a downtown church. Arraigned around the hall are clothing stations, a food pantry, a soup station. She wants to help people directly with her power and give them a leg up with a significant gold gift. She's wary about giving too many people gold directly, in case it crashes the price locally and is useless for people she's trying to help, so she's trying to judicious in who she helps.

Several heroes turn up to help: most of the Bro Club and the Dandy Lads, and a good third of Protection Inc. The first few days it's busy but manageable. They help out making soup and chatting with the hard-up while Marigold turns apples into solid gold.

But soon the word gets out, someone takes a video of getting a golden apple which goes viral and the next day the streets are packed all around downtown, as people have travelled from all over the city, and many from out of town, clamouring to get their gold.

Mentat gets a feel for how many people are coming to the center: easily a million crowding out the streets. They come up with a clever plan. Película disguises the center, makes it look like a boarded up building. Haste empowers the others to spread out and deal crowd control. Brouhaha and the Advisor work closely togeher: the ex-villain would shout loudly that he'd found the center, drawing in the crowds, while the Advisor would address the gathered group that they'd been conned, there was no gold, that they should help them spread the word and disperse the others. Jack Dandy uses his celebrity to draw off more crowds, hopeful that he was involved in the gold handout.

Bolt Blue encourages this dispersal by raining solidly on the crowds. The Man in Grey help escort Marigold away in a fresh disguise.

"I'm going to have to find a better way of helping..." she says.

The heroes overall are credited in public for avoiding huge crushes and rioting.

OUTCOME
Protection Inc, Dandy Lads, Bro Club: Success
Mentat: +1 fame
Película: +1 fame
Jack Dandy: +1 fame
The Man In Gray: Gains extra opportunity
Haste: +1 fame
The Advisor: +1 fame

Bolt Blue: +1 fame
Mission Reward: Mentat, Película, Jack Dandy, The Man In Gray, Haste, The Advisor, Brouhaha, Bolt Blue each gain the trait "Wealthy".

Spoiler: #2 Bad Joke (click to show/hide)

Most of The Watch, and Bloodmoon and Cephala from PUNCH! arrive at Hermitage, accompanied by Camarada from Protection Inc. They walk along Abbot Avenue, the main thoroughfare, and it's eerily silent. Just the moon overhead. Cephala scoffs a pastry and chucks one to Bloodmoon. Cephala gains Clairgustance, and Bloodmoon picks up a Vortex Breath.

"I feel like we're being watched," Camarada says, looking about.

Bloodmoon, padding along as a wolf, sniffs the air and whines. No, no one here. She cannot smell Melancholy's astral projection, invisibly watching over them from above, alerting the hordes where to strike. But Cephala with her new power can taste her in the air!

"We're being watched!" Cephala says, waving tentacles for possible invisible foes.

The spire of the cathedral is in sight when the people run out. The entire congregation enthralled by communion wine with Sanguine's blood, racing out at them. Hundreds of innocent people that the heroes know they shouldn't lay a finger on, running out to kill them with kitchen knives, chair-legs, flaming candelabra, even a few chainsaws. Retry tries a few different permutations, but the villains are holed up in the cathedral and there was no way of avoiding Melancholy's astral sight.

Now is a test of mettle.

Camarada is alone, but thinks about what her friend Película and her team leader Mentat would think. She doesn't want to do badly by them and steels her resolve and walks towards the crowd of killers undaunted.

"Huh, good luck with that," Cephala says, turning invisible in her stealth suit and disappearing.

Bloodmoon, a wolf, panicking at the horde, the crosses, the flaming brands. She longs to run in the wild carefree but she's been left alone to deal with this. With a harrowing howl, she bounds off into the night.

The Watch are less bothered. They have faith in Retry's reversions. Ziggurat eats his donut. Retry runs through some permutations, in each PUNCH turn tail and Camarada is able to walk unharmed through the horde. She evenually discovers what power Ziggurat gained with his donut: fire-absorbing and redirecting. It was a shame Spawn of Satan was laid up with injury. After a few tries, she tries to impart a gameplan to the others through some gestures.

First Frostara hemmed in the crowd with a quick icewall, while Ziggurat more slowly raised up permanent walls to hem them in, and then the remaining heroes ducked around the long way.

In the cathedral grounds, they're met head on by Choler and the little old lady whose body that Tin Soldier once inhabited, now enthralled to Sanguine, patches of her skin covered in a metallic layer. She expels the metal from her body at high speed towards the heroes while the muscleman bounds towards them.

With the hero's main muscle gone, the fight is difficult to navigate without serious injury. Camarada keeps Choler busy, the brute trying and failing to hit her. "You don't have to do this," she tells him.

"I can't not!" Choler bellows.

"Know that I don't hold this against you," Camarada says, as another blow narrowly avoids her face. She looks into Choler's anguished eyes and feels his pain, and knows his innocence. Their eyes lock for a moment, and with shared pain, Choler averts his eyes just as his own fists avert her.

Retry tanks the metal pellets being shot out of the old lady (codenamed Bakal). This gives Ziggurat and Frostara the opportunity to slip into the cathedral through the vestry.

"They don't know we're here," Frostara says, "So let's burst in, I'll freeze the whole church, stop any blood vapor..."

Unfortunately, Melancholy was still watching them and the pair would have been overcome by Phlegm's pleasure gas seeping into the room, were it not for Retry rebooting to them about to leave the Choler/Bakal fight.

Retry knows they're outnumbered by the others in the cathedral, but can't quickly convey that during the fight. Her girdle activated, she rushes Bakal and apprehends the old woman, taking care after one doomed attempt not to touch her with anything metal. Frostara then freezes Choler, and, stuck in an iceblock, the team are able to slide him with them.

When she does, Choler's muscle's grow and bulge, and he begins to crack through the ice. Frostara continues to point her focusing pistols on him, applying more layers around him, she realises with horror that she's freezing the man's blood in his veins. If it was almost anyone else, she would be killing right now.

"We need to come back when we've got real numbers," Ziggurat says.

Retry checks ahead, and there are more hordes inside the church, everywhere they go, they're watched, Sanguine is cloistered somewhere in the catacombs away from direct harm, and Phlegm is mixed in with crowd, ready to incapicitate with his gas at a moment's notice.

"We can't leave Sanguine free to convert more people..." Frostara says.

While they have a bit of time on their side, Ziggurat raises up walls all around the cathedral's perimiter. He's deeply uncomfortable about doing it, disturbing the graveyard and impacting the nearby foundations. The whole city rumbles as the towering walls rise up.

The Watch withdraw, Retry unsure where Camarada disappeared to, even trying some limited rewinds to spot the moment in the fight she disappeared. Camarada for her part, noticing the others now can't see or hear her, decides to sneak on ahead into the cathedral to take out the rest of Dark Humor alone...

This doesn't quite go to plan, as Melancholy is still able to perceive her through astral projection, and so directs Phlegm to gas the vestry. Collapsed in writhing ecstasy on the ground, the cathedral safely walled in, protected from another immediate hero wave, Sanguine arrives and, though she can't look at Camarada, she is able to spit blood indiscriminately until a drop finally touches her... from there it's easy enough to command the unseen woman to drink some communion wine...

Spoiler: #3 King Cleaver (click to show/hide)

In an underground carpark in Warren, the heroes gather to plan their assault on Bill Cleaver's position. There was the entirety of House Edge (minus their new bomb-sling addition), Void with Dr Hijank from The Watch,, The Chorist from PUNCH! and Crackler from Protection Inc.

The planning was taking a back seat to an argument between Luke Teach and Dr Hijank.

"Oh you didn't mean for me to lose my arm? That makes it better?" Luke shouts.

"I'm sorry but we banked on the heroes being able to handle a few speeding cars..." Dr Hijank says, gesturing to Luke's noticeable gut.

"I'm lucky I wasn't killed!" Luke insists, quite correctly.

"You seem to have done fine out of it, your new arm is a positive enhancement..." Dr Hijank starts.

Spork is pleased to hear this, but Luke is having none of this apology. He remembers the pain of the fight at the Odd Squad's base in Hermitage. He knows he shouldn't take her out in cold blood, as much as he'd like to, so he encouages her to take an active role in the mission and hopes the goons will get lucky.

The heroes arrange for a two-pronged attack on the base, with the aim of neutralising Bill Cleaver as the main priority. They know that the gang has a lot of heavily armed goons, as well as various technological countermeasures. Spork, Crackler and Hijank are to take out the tech, PB, Chorist and Void are to keep the goons occupied, while Tin Soldier and Luke push through and take out Bill Cleaver.

PB and a lot of guns take up various positions encircling the warehouse compound. Void blasts in the armoured gate to the compound with a huge solar blast. On the opposite side of the block which the compound took up, Dr Hijank ate a cookie. Her senses unfolded, feeling the interconnectedness of the living breathing city around her. It leads her group to take the best point at the far end of the compound.

Crackler cuts the lights and everyone storms the compound. Much violence ensues as many PBs keep Cleaver's gang hemmed in with covering fire, while Hijank identifies which components for Spork to set alight among the many strange electrical towers and devices that litter the base, many are countermeasures for heroes who didn't turn up. Of all the heroes, he most ensures the success of the mission through judicious use of technical knowhow and unrelenting firepower. The Chorist's singing can't be heard over the guns, and the ubiquitous use of ear-plugs, but it doesn't hurt matters either. Void blasts a way through brick wall for Tin Soldier to rush in, bullets flying off his impenetrable skin. In the chaos and darkness, Luke follows on through.

There are many armed guards in the warehouse base, and Tin Soldier does a good job keeping them occupied, soaking up the fire, and smashing guns right out of hands. Luke guesses the combination of a new keypad lock to the inner sanctum, and uses his gadget hand to cut through a bolt lock to the ground-floor office.

Inside sat at a big desk is a big man smoking a big cigar. A young woman sits at a smaller desk in one corner, a secretary Luke figures.

"I'm impressed," Bill Cleaver says, taking a big puff. "You made it this far. Which is good as I needed one more of you..."

Luke isn't here to mess around, and has a pistol in hand. He raises it at the gangster, and shoot. The bullet goes straight through the man, who is revealed to be a hologram projected from a device on the chair.

"Are you a hologram too?" Luke asks the woman. He vaguely recognises her plain features from somewhere.

"No, but the boss said I should head into the back room if someone arrives, so if you don't mind..." she says, getting up and walking through a door way. Inside, Luke can see a metal-lined room built to withstand heavy force. "I think he's going to blow this place up, so you might want to get your friends out."

As soon as the door shuts, Luke takes off to tell the others (not Hijank) about the upcoming explosion. Void manages to get clear in time, but the others are caught up as the warehouse and the compound around it are engulfed in flame.

After the flames die out and the survivors, including some of Cleavers now ex-gang members, are found, the place is picked over for bodies. In the chaos, no one knows who saw Luke last. There is no sign of his body. Is he... dead?

The rest survive, Crackler pulling Dr. Hijank to safety. Many are permanently injured.
