Encounter 4: Let's Go Surfing!
All
"You arrive at the Third Hawaiian Bank. As you step inside your keen
senses detect that something is awry. Then one of you trips over the
unconscious security guard. Looking around, you note that everybody in
the immediate vicinity is fast asleep."
Knockout gas through the ventilation system (Anlytical Smell vs OV/RV
4). Everybody will be out for another hour unless a super-power is used
to wake them up.
When the heroes head to the main vault, two commandos will be have set
up an ambush. The commandos will try to get off a few bursts, then dive
into the vault as the door closes. Once inside, Tsunami will siphon in
water through the sprinker system so that when the heroes open the
vault (either by overriding the security system OV/RV 10/10, blowing a
hole through the door (BODY 12) or a wall (BODY 9), or waking up the
bank manager and have him override the door) a torrent of water will
come streaming out. Tsunami will ride the waves on a surfboard, keeping
the two commandos with her, and surf away using her Water Control power
(speed 8 APs).

In
the vault there will be a water-logged note, barely readable:
The commuters on the bus go read, read, read!
Read, read, read! Read, read, read!
The commuters on the bus go read, read, read!
All through the town!
Analytical Smell won't help since the note is
water-logged. Postcognition (15 = 1/2 hour "I love this game!
(Tsunami)", 21 = 1 hour: "Make sure the note doesn't wash away."). Note
that the commandos are talking in Japanese: Comprehend Languages vs
OV/RV 6 (need 11). Tsunami talked in English.
Sometime during this encounter the heroes will hear over the radio that
the Mayor has disappeared. He was last scene at the Martha Davenport
Home for Wayward Children. Note that the vault is underground so they
won't hear the report until they come up for air.
Troubleshooting If
the heroes decide to just leave the villains in the vault, assume
Tsunami was never there so she can be present in future encounters.
