Turn 139
Continue sneaking around, and look for those prisoners
(4) You do like a box and get out of there, searching around for the prisoners mentioned in the briefing. While you do not find them, you do find a hastily scrawled map of the camp, probably belonging to some forgetful soldier who got tired of getting lost all the time. Good news is that now you know where to go to get to the holding cells, bad news is that you have to leave the building you are currently in to get there.
Contemplate the possibility of expanding my shapeshifting powers to the point that I can cause OTHERS to change form.
(5) A most interesting idea comes to you, what if you could use your powers to change the form of others? In truth you have never bothered to find out how your powers work, they just do, so it is quite possible that it is something that can be applied to others as well. Though there is an equally large chance that it will do nothing or actually damage the person you try to do it to, you won't know for sure until you try it on someone, and the other occupants of the car seem rather reluctant to be your test subjects.
Well, fighting is better than rotting in jail. I'll see what he has to say.
(6) You point your finger at him and flash a big smile, cheerfully saying “Sure, what' ya' got for me, Nick?”
This annoys him, probably because he is used to being addressed in a more respectful manner, but nonetheless he explains the nature of the agreement. “You fight for us, you fight for me, to bring down Magneto and your old team, and your sentence gets knocked down from...” he checks his papers, “fifteen consecutive life sentences, to ten years parole, after which you'll be a free man. So, are you interested, Jacobs?”
The Gang will set up base at the abandoned base, while I will set about recruiting people from the general area.
(4+1=5) You tell the gang to head out to the newly purchased military base, and in the meantime you'll try to get some more people to join the organization. Being used to living your life at a hundred miles per hour has made you somewhat impatient, so it seems only logical to you to head to the place where you can find the most people to address at once, which would probably be the town square. So you run there, find an old wooden box to stand on, and start spreading the word.
(3) People start to gather, quite a crowd forming around you within a few minutes, though most of them seem yet unconvinced of the greatness of this endeavor you are speaking of.
"*mutters* They said this place would be empty...*to the soldiers* Okay, the invisible woman's survival is highly classified, you are not to report this incident over open channels. We were sent here to recover some important evidence from this site, you will carry on with your allotted duties and ignore our presence. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to attend to this" *jumps down into sewer and runs away*
Attempt to confuse the soldiers with a new bluff in order to buy time, then escape.
(5) You speak your lie with such confidence that the soldiers can't help but be swayed,
(6) perhaps a bit too swayed. They are so convinced of the utter importance of your mission that they call in reinforcements to make sure that no one will be able to stop you from completing it.
(5) But you are no longer there, instead having taken your chance to slip down into an open manhole when no-one was looking, by the time they figure out what has happened you'll be far away.
I continue my construction.
(4+1+1=6) Satisfied that you've completed a place to store your villainous vehicles you keep working on making some more general rooms, to be used for whatever may be important at the time. The smaller rooms are much faster to complete, but something quite troublesome strikes you, excepting the metal you put aside earlier there is no more metal to build with. You'll have to find some more if you want to expand the fortress.
well if you cant beat them... hop on top of the tank, electrocute anyone that pops out, hop in and commandeer it
(5) You dexterously swing yourself onto the top of the tank's turret. The gunner, being somewhat of a stupid idiot, immediately pops his head out of the hatch to see if you're still there.
(1) Before he can react you lunge forward with your right hand to grab a hold of his face, then proceed to pump enormous amounts of energy into it.
(4-1-1=2) He screams as his skin starts to boil, the radio in his helmet sparkles and explodes, and soon the only movement coming from his body is the occasional spasm, death throes or an effect of pumping a lighting bolt straight into his brain, you're not quite sure. With some effort you manage to pull him out of the tank and dump him over the side, leaving an entrance for you to enter the tank through. And that you do, immediately letting loose with your powers on the driver and commander inside, where there is no room for them to dodge,
(5/5) unfortunately the electricity arcs into whatever metal is exposed inside, failing to hit them in sufficient amount to do much damage.
*Continue to intended destination to make the trade with Obadiah*
(5) No longer forced to keep a low profile you can afford to go faster, and with some help from Rebecca it doesn't take very long for you to reach the place where the trade is to take place, an abandoned warehouse a mile or so outside the city. Waiting there is a box truck with 'Marco's Deli' printed on the side, along with a half dozen thuggish fellows. One of them approaches you, a man who looks very much like a shaved gorilla wearing a cheap suit. He swings a massive meaty arm in the direction of the truck, “Your stuff's here. So, do you have what you promised Ironmonger.” His using Stane's alias is a clear hint that they don't fully trust you, but everything should be in order for the trade.
Uplink to Triolf's Satellite, hack into the missile grid and do 2 things:
A)Setup hidden commands that allow me to launch any type of missile targeted anywhere by telepathically sending signals to a satellite or via a computer.
B)Setup a 'Doomsday' command, upon acitvation it will launch missiles at the capitals of all major powers across the world.
(4) With a little bit more trial and error you manage to create an uplink to Triolf's old satellite. Then you try to hack into the missile defense network, figuring it should be easy.
(5) By pure dumb luck you get past the defenses, you're not even quite sure how you did it yourself. So you get to work on creating some hidden commands that will let you launch missiles indiscriminately with the press of a button, you briefly thought about some way to get your telepathy to work as a trigger before you realized that you don't have that power, and computers don't work that way in any case.
(2) Unfortunately getting past this problem on pure dumb luck isn't quite as easy, as you don't know the first thing about programming computers.
Find the nearest road and hitchhike to Grayson. If a prospective trucker gets reluctant after seeing my evil-looking robes and midnight-black skin, blow their head off with a fireball and commandeer the vehicle.
(1) You trudge through the cornfields to get to a road, luckily finding a rather large one just a few hundred yards away. There you stand, hoping that some car will pass by so you can get a lift to nearby Grayson and meet up with Cheetahr.
(3) At first nothing comes, and then nothing comes, but then, nothing comes. It seems you'll have to walk to Grayson.
Enemy Actions (Heroes/Hostiles)Missile Network Defenses, secure system
(2) Xen's intrusion has yet to be discovered, but it is just a matter of time.
Spread fear
(3) Iron Man zooms in seemingly from nowhere, heading for the site where the fortress used to stand. A quick assessment of the situation later and he has his targets set on Nitro, letting loose a pair of repulsor beams from his palms as he flies by,
(3+1=4) striking him with both,
(3-1=2) slamming him against the ground and knocking him out, but otherwise not doing much damage.
I am the God of War, hear me roar!
(1+2=3) Having to travel by foot Ares gets to the site later than Iron Man, and doesn't have a chance to launch an assault of his own before Zach ambushes him.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians)Keep watch
(2) She hides behind the car instead, those guys are scary.
Wake up
(1) He really doesn't feel like it, instead falling deeper into unconsciousness.
Kill the Greek dude!
(3) He scurried away as soon as Iron Man appeared, a few centuries of battle experience telling him that more enemies would come. He was proven right when some weird human wearing antique armor shows up, not noticing him where he is hiding among the rubble, giving him the perfect chance to spring his trap.
(2+2=4) Unfortunately for him the 'Greek dude' easily sidesteps his attempted ambush.
Sneaky sneaky?
(6) The drone gets tired of waiting, instead putting the pedal to the metal and blasting off towards the military garage.
(6) It manages to get through the outer defenses, the people patrolling inside the fence, and even the tank, to get into the garage. Although in the process it pretty much alert the entire base. Thinking quickly it pops open a door and stands still, assuming that the humans won't realize that it had no driver.
Make sure the other guys are trustworthy
(3-1=2) He tries to open a one-way connection with the lead thug, but is too tired to do so right now.
...
(5) She wipes away her tears and asks the soldiers to bring her to their leader, she intends to help in the fight.
Go to base
(6) They jump on their bikes and drive off, hooting and hollering. The prospect of becoming a real organized crime syndicate is quite attractive to them, and they aren't afraid to show their liking of the direction Cheetahr is taking the gang in.
