Encounter 4: Diamonds
All
"Island City Stadium is home to the local Hawaiian League baseball
club, the Island City Sunrays. Calling is a bit grandiose, as it's
little more than a baseball field with bleachers all around it. If
anyone were to pull off a diamond prank having to do with baseball,
you'd bet it'd be the recently escaped super-villain Sportsmaster."
Sportsmaster had perfected a Null Gravity Tractor Beam (Omni-Gadget:
BODY 2, Gravity Decrease 8, Telekinesis 8) to grab the baseball diamond
and float it away. He hasn't had a chance to use it until now. For some
reason The Shade has been assigned to this mission and Sportsmaster is
still sore at the Shade for abandoning him at the end of issue #2.
There will also be two thugs for each hero above 2 initially present.
It'll only take a few minutes (6 APs) to grab the field and go. Once
again heroes will be 13 or 14 APs away and will have to push their
movement to reach the site in time. There will be a note left behind:
|
I expect that you have captured both of
these idiots. They were obviously antagonistic towards each other and
this mission was a test to see if they could work together. But I don't
believe either of them would. Consider this a gift, though if you
didn't succeed in apprehending both of these villains, you really have
no hope against the rest of the Society.
Enough of this! I tire of
these games. To show you the might of the Society, we will stage three
crimes tomorrow. Try to stop them all!
Signed: The Secret
Society of Super-Villains
With no clues, the heroes have almost no chance of stopping the crimes.
They have to find the Secret Society headquarters by tomorrow.
Go To If Peter Pan had the Lost Boys look for the messenger kid from
Encounter 1, go to Encounter 5. If the heroes saved The Icicle in
Encounter 2, go to Encounter 6.
