Characters



Events


San Francisco hosts a gala dedication ceremony on the parade ground of Alcatraz Island to commemorate the re-opening of the historic prison as Stronghold, a super-villain containment facility. The city's resident heroes are invited along with select fans and the usual celebrities and politicians.

Mystic S by far has the most fans present and also attracts KRON reporters. In an interview she declares the new team name, GuardianS, and assumes the implicit leadership mantle. The other heroes are also interviewed and are non-commital (Radson and Tek Titan) or manage to avoid the reporters (Reda Robotica).

Radson notices two suspicious persons mingling with the crowd. It seems after they talk to someone that person leaves for the bathroom behind the Warden's House and doesn't return. He wanders over to investigate and two bathroom guards tell him the facility is broken and he should use the bathrooms behind Building 64. Undeterred he circles around and peeks through a back window where he seems a gala guest somewhat dazedly walk into a stall and stand there as the stall sinks underground.

Before he can do anything with the information a bolt of lightning hits him in the back. Turning he sees Black Lightning standing there with a blank expression on his face. The two start battling, eventually attracting the attention of Mystic S and Tek Titan who rush in to help. But balancing the scales is Reda Robotica, who appears from inside the bathrooms and sends her robots to help Black Lightning.

The battle is long. (Too long as it turns out because I missed that Black Lightning is much easier to hit hand-to-hand.) Finally the heroes manage to knock Black Lightning unconscious while Reda slips away with her robots, whom nobody bothered to attack. Mystic S, Radson and Tek Titan are ready to delve into the unknown secrets beneath Stronghold.

GM Notes


I had this adventure written up somewhere but totally forgot it was on a wiki page [Issue 9 Adventure]. I did have stats written up in my combat spreadsheet so I winged it from there based on what I remembered, though it turned out a little different...
