Encounter 2: The Attack

All

"One moment all is quiet and peaceful, then suddenly the silence is broken by a series of explosions. Wild yelling fills the air and gunfire can be heard. After a few moments an alarm starts blaring, only to be abruptly silenced seconds later."

El Gato

"A whole wall seems to explode into the room, bringing in fire and smoke. Filled beakers explode, showering you in glass and liquid. The cats go wild with terror -- a short lived terror as the roof caves in on you all."

Peter Pan

"You stumble out of bed and look out a porthole. Not much to be seen from your vantage point. There seems to be smoke coming from somewhere. Wait. Now you see a couple of sentries escorting away the couple living at the next boat. They're Japanese soldiers."

Kid Invincible

"Running over a hill, you see that the Island City Military Research Center is under attack. Two buildings are smoking, Japanese soldiers are running everywhere. They seem to have caught the garrison by surprise, because you don't see too much resistance from the base defenders."

Rad, the Radiation Man

"You feel the radiation energy coursing through your body. Then an explosion shakes the whole room. Holly looks up, alarm in her face. Suddenly the wall behind Holly explodes, flinging her to the ground. The ceiling collapses over her. With a fierce whine, the RadiaCyclotron floods your body with radiation moments before it goes silent. You're still strapped into the machine and you don't feel too good all of the sudden. Then you black out."
Game Master Notes

After a brief fight the base will be secured. Prisoners will be moved to the Barracks (soldiers) or the Administration Building (other base personnel). Twelve soldiers have been detailed to round up the boat people so they don't call for help.

The first hero to attack will be engaged by Sumo, the second by Tsunami or a half-dozen soldiers. The objective is to capture the heroes to take them back to Japan along with the research data. During this battle this is a good time to have a couple of people be put in danger. For Peter Pan it will be a girl in a burning boat. For Kid Invincible it will be a civilian next to him as the wall collapses on them both.

The first hero to attack will be engaged by Sumo and two soldiers, the second by Tsunami (and two soldiers) or a dozen soldiers. The objective is to capture the heroes to take them back to Japan along with the research data. During this battle this is a good time to have a couple of people be put in danger. For Peter Pan it will be a girl in a burning boat. For Kid Invincible it will be a civilian next to him as the wall collapses on them both.

Should the heroes defeat Sumo have Tsunami make an entrance if she hasn't been seen yet. If both super villains are defeated the Japanese soldiers will flee back to their landing craft or they will surrender. Note that the soldiers' combined firepower is still quite formidable should the heroes want to pursue the soldiers.
