Encounter 7 (Part 1): The Phantom Strikes

Ghost Girl

"You head back to Water World. As you approach the park entrance you hear a high piercing scream coming from inside the park."

That's Christine screaming as the Phantom kidnaps her. Raoul has been knocked unconscious and is lying on the tracks of the Radblaster Rollercoaster (#4). As Penelope runs up she sees a rollercoaster car heading towards him. She has two phases to get to him. She needs to make two running rolls (with her Running defauting to 4 APs) vs OV/RV 0/4 and needs to achive 5 RAPs total. Otherwise the rollercoaster runs over Raoul and critically injures him -- he'll need to get to a hospital pronto.

Assuming Penelope saves Raoul, he will wake up in a minute and tell her that a man wearing a black tuxedo complete with top hat and cloak attacked Christine and himself. He stabbed the guy but his knife went right through the attacker, who then decked Raoul and knocked him out cold. He must have kidnapped Christine!
If Raoul has been hospitalized, Penelope can use her Detective vs OV/RV 5/5. 1 RAP reveals that Raoul and someone else (3 RAPS to determine it was Christine) were attacked by someone. Looks like the attacker knocked out Raoul and Christine, then set up Raoul's death trap and fled with Christine.

The Phantom is keeping Christine in a secret room beneath the Giraffe Dock (#109). How to find Christine? Here are some options.
  • Flipper can track Christine to the Giraffe Dock. All park water areas are connected by a series of underwater tunnels, so that the dolphins can get around.
  • Military Science (Tracking) vs OV/RV 8/8.
  • Analytical Smell/Tracking Scent vs OV/RV 8/8
  • Luring the Phantom out and defeating him or tailing him
  • Search the whole park: Perception vs OV/RV 15/15. Adjustments for Team Attack.
Go To Encounter 8.
