Sep 10 2016 - vs Icicle and Sir Galahad

Characters



Events


The heroes discuss how to attack Kobra Design, the biggest obstacle being how to disable the security system. Showing their inexperience working as a team there are three different plans, one hero wanting to stop talking and go now, and miscommunication as to which plan they're actually doing.

Eventually it comes down to the somewhat simple. Mystic S, working as a receptionist, lets the other three in with visitor badges. The three make their way to the ground floor security room. Once they get inside and subdue the guards Tech Titan will disable the security systems. After that there is no plan other than recover the Green Pearl that Kobra has in their secret labs.

Meanwhile in the security room Icicle is showing new recruit Sir Galahad around. Galahad is a visitor from another planet, here on Earth searching for the Space Holy Grail. Kobra met him first and being an organization that collects artifacts they offered to help Sir Galahad in return for him joining their team, at least temporarily. (GM notes: Kobra is completely serious with their offer as having another super in their ranks is a good trade and they expect to find other artifacts beside the Space Holy Grail. For example, the Space Spear of Destiny.)

Heroes knock on security room and a guard opens the door. Sir Galahad (with a good Insight roll) immediately notices they are imposters and asks them to surrender. A battle erupts with Mystic S joining in a round later.

Everybody gets a go around before Icicle, moving last, freezes the room to slow down the heroes (the villains wear thermal underwear). Reda Robotica uses her robots to slowly take out the four guards and sidles over to a computer terminal and shuts down the security system. Radson battles Icicle though Icicle is quite dodgy so Radson keeps missing. Mystic S pitches in versus Icicle and Icicle tries to freeze bonds around her and then tries to ice spear Radson. Sir Galahad and Tech Titan duke it out one on one. TT takes the time to blast the Red Alert alarm before a guard can hit it and then with a mighty punch (Power Attack + critical roll) knocks out Sir Galahad. Icicle then creates a wall of ice and runs out of the room.
