Volume 1 (June 2015 - September 2015)

08/06/15 - The great escape from the Snowstorm without a Fire Demon

Jack, Amber, Peter, Zander, Steve and Llynos are at the roadhouse in a snowstorm. They prepare for winter outdoor conditions and load up 4x4. They attempt to drive from secret base but are snowed in without Sam Jack melts snow outside and tries to find the door to the secret base Peter pushes the garage door and Llynos blows the snow away as quick as it falls Peter uses super strength while standing on car to open the door as Amber uses an angled ramp forcefield to drive them out of the base They turn right Outside of the storm they discover Gotham and turn around to drive to Bludhaven to find Sam The snowstorm was completely isolated and only affected the roadhouse Once together, the group split to cover both Melville and Mealtide parks Jack and Llynos (*and Steve?) go to Melville to check out the bandstand Sam, Zander, Amber and Peter go to Mealtide to destroy the altar They make their way through a few ranks of guards and eventually reach the altar (persuading guards that they are part of the ritual) Amber puts up forcefield and they walk up to altar Sam sees an alternate dimension where the altar is a tentacled monster, the pillars are tentacles and the guards are fish people. Zander bursts into blue flame and Sam sees that he is wearing a twisted helmet, two tablets in an ancient language strapped to his chest and back and girded loins. Peter rips up the stone altar (Sam sees him rip out the monster's tongue) and begins smashing it into pillars. Sam sets them on fire as Zander hits them with his scythe. A portal opens and a dead but still living Nina (a 9-foot blue Panther) appears She attempts to explode minds and teleport vital organs out of bodies Sam is shot and loses consciousness. Llynos flies over to Mealtide to help with Nina Amber holds up a single forcefield behind them all as the guards open fire. Meanwhile at Melville, Jack speed runs into the park but is stopped by a barrier as he sees his Mother, leaving him unable to use his abilities and stuck halfway through a fence surrounding the park in severe pain. Trevor goes to fly Steve to help Jack Llynos arrives at Mealtide to kill Nina.


15/06/15 - Where everyone goes to the other park

Destroyed altar at Mealtide park Nina teleports Llynos into the ground but thanks to a failed forcefield, she survives Nina attempts to attack Zander but is thrown out of the park by an explosion which also evaporates the snowstorm and all guards dressed in white Sam regains consciousness Trevor officially turns on group and attempts to kill Jack and Clive. Holly resurrects Jack and he rips himself out of the fence he was stuck in and escapes into the speed force to heal himself and "suit up". He begins a ritual with Jack's entrails at Melville park. A huge black portal appears above the park. Sam, Zander and Peter leave to confront Trevor, Amber stays with Llynos stuck in the ground A mysterious black and white stranger (Jack) frees Llynos and goes to "do the thing" with Trevor. Llynos flies Amber to Melville park, she is drawn to the black vortex but resists A limousine and snipers are spotted at the park Zander somersaults across park and is struck by lightning and shot Clive and Steve (as punk and catsuit strangers) appear with a solution to stopping the ritual with Zander's tablet Peter webs Zander to drag him out of the park Steve and Peter are shot Sam burns trees in attempt to stop snipers Clive possesses Trevor and holds him there Trevor throws Jack and himself into other dimension before returning Jack moves Zander to "safety" and vibrates Trevor into the ground and dislocates his spine Nina returns from 'secret errands' and teleports behind Jack.


22/06/15 - Thai's Leaving Game!

Nina claws at Jack unsuccessfully, teleports away Llynos and Amber run around park to entrance Sam and Steve burn/chop down trees Sam burns the bandstand, at last! The group all gather at entrance to Melville Lady Clive tells Zander that Death has explained how to use the tablet, she tells him to physically remove the invisible tablet from around his shoulders The tablet is removed, revealing Zander in sandals, girded loins and twisty hat. Lady Clive and Peter decide to break the tablet into pieces (why would you do this?) They throw it against a wall (*I think?), nothing happens The group all touch the tablet, wanting to share the power. The tablet splits into 8 equal pieces as if by magic, everyone know has a stone cube Some of the group enter the park and are shot at by snipers Llynos summons a wind through the trees and Sam continues to burn things Jack goes to the bandstand to battle Trevor and "Do the Thing" The black portal in the sky opens and fish people step down from the sky in hordes Lady Clive possesses a fish person, her body goes still and drops the cube The fish person turns on its fellow group and causes chaos Zander charms dozens of fish people to worship him, they are now his. Sam burns more fish people Nina returns, teleporting briefly in several places Sniper Clive aims at Nina and succeeds in a headshot, leaving Nina with half a face but enough strength to teleport away. Everyone is in the park and the black sky portal begins to close. A dark shadowy figure emerges from Jack and pulls itself into the portal Jack runs from the bandstand, leaving Trevor Amber puts a forcefield around the burning bandstand Llynos suck the air out of it, putting the bandstand fires out Steve reveals that Nina left bombs all around the park, they detonate in 5 seconds! Everyone runs! BOOM! Sam, Llynos and Amber are injured in the blast, everyone else is ok, except for Steve who collided with a building very hard Nina watches from a building and walks away Trevor hits the forcefield around the bandstand but is shielded from the blast, he crawls away with 4HP. Everyone regroups and perform first aid, enough to get back to the road house. At the road house, it's Christmas Day (*or was it Eve?) and the group sit around the fire with various beverages and a buffet laid out on the table (which Jack eats most of). The group are wearing knitted jumpers from Llynos and a Christmas tree stands in the corner covered in 90's tat. Peace at last...


29/06/15 - The diverted Christmas adventure

The players give out Christmas gifts! Llynos gives handmade knitwear, of course! Sam gives very fancy Gucci clothes Sam Werewolf drops off hand carved wooden statues before disappearing, each of a different member, with Llynos and Amber being particularly intricate Amber gives second hand books, Oliver Twist for Peter, Dante's Inferno for Sam, Sherlock Holmes for Steve, To Kill a Mockingbird for Clive, Jane Eyre for Zander, Peter Pan for Llynos, Frankenstein and Little Women for Sam Werewolf, and A Christmas Carol for Jack. Zander gives Amber chocolates and an expensive necklace, Amber shares the chocolates round Peter gives 90's tat? (*I don't know what specifically) Christmas Day was a little short lived as already new troubles plague Bludhaven A curfew is introduced to Bludhaven and all those without ID are imprisoned in New Haven, surrounded by a guarded 40-foot wall A new drug is sweeping the market And "Peter's Bombers" take the blame for the Melville park bombing New plans are revealed to rebuild the parks with a new bandstand Clive, Amber and Zander go to check out New Haven, they meet a guard names Moses Jones, and spread rumours of the Mayor's illegitimacy, they show ID and enter New Haven Peter and Sam go to Melville park, it is destroyed but they find the lead developer. Sam pleads that they do not make a bandstand; make a nice pond instead! The guy reveals that he has been ordered by the boss to create some kind of ritual circle, preferably in the form of the traditional bandstand. Sam and Peter give up trying to persuade him as anything built will be some sort of occult device anyway. Llynos puts posters around Bludhaven, looking for her son In New Haven, the group encounter a mysterious mob that they scare off with threats of Peter's Bombers, a gate asking for gold tribute, a bustling market full of disabled people and mixed races called Centre Town, and another gate for the river where they ask to see Big Bertha after Llynos and Sam joins them after declaring Llynos insane at the gates. Sam saw a crazy man leap out of a window upon seeing her, she steps over his limp body before entering Centre Town. At the river, Llynos, Clive, Amber, Sam and Zander arrange a meeting with Bertha, a scantily clad warrior Frank Frazetta-esque woman. Bertha offers them accommodation and talks about potential revolution against Bludhaven with a union between the other tribes, one of which being The Madam in Centre Town. The tribes are river/water, stone, metal, cloth, wall, and the wild people. Zander charms Bertha and she demands he join her in her chamber while the other retire to bed. Llynos gives him "protection" and the group go their separate ways to bed.


06/07/15 - The one where everyone cosplayed Mad Max characters

Clive searches for the source of the water people's waterfall from their fort, he discovers they have a single water source from Bludhaven. They once tried turning it off only to be without water for 4 days before it returned. Peter goes to New Haven and declares himself without ID, they let him in. He sees a naked man tripping out get shot by running too close to the wall. Then a truck drives in full of people in grey cloth. The wall guards shoot them, but they shoot back with harpoons and drag the soldiers from the 40-foot wall before escaping. Zander rejoins the group after his sleepover and they head to Centre Town to kit themselves out. Amber works at an armoury exchanging work for studded shoulder pads while Llynos and Clive set up a makeshift first aid centre, conning poor people of their valuables while making them feel slightly better. They earn enough for leather and scrap metal gear, Llynos finally gets her Tina Turner outfit! Peter web swings his way to Centre Town as Steve enters New Haven. They meet at the gates (by way of Peter missing his web swing and face planting and Steve laughing at him) and Zander, Sam and Llynos eventually open the gates to let them in. Clive and Amber question guards to take them to the "Madam" to no success. Clive offers Amber as "tribute", which doesn't go well. Amber tries to punch the guard but misses. The group rejoin in the centre and Sam offers her gold bling necklace as tribute to see the Madam. It works and they enter a clean underground sewer that is furnished, but on the condition that they hand over technology/weapons (headsets, guns, fire extinguisher etc.) only Clive and Zander bluff to keep their gear. Through a door, is a comfortably furnished room with 2 paintings on the wall. One of Nina as a policewoman And another of a purple panther. And a living human Nina steps forward...


20/07/15 - The one where things with Nina escalated quickly

The group speak to Nina but without a coherent plan, she dismisses them. Clive, Llynos and Amber tell her about their ‘revolution’ plan with Bertha. Nina/The Madame clearly has “history” with Bertha and loses interest. Amber blurts out that they are united under the Bludhaven Bomber (Peter). Nina instantly transforms into a purple were-cat... oops. She goes straight for Peter, pinning him to the ground, attacking with claws and teeth. Amber puts a forcefield across the were-cat to protect Peter while Llynos flies up onto Nina’s back, Clive tries to calm her down at gunpoint and Steve shoots at her. Nina is not happy as Amber tries to drag Peter out from under her, her claws cutting him as she does so. Zander opens the door to the outer room, revealing the situation to the guards outside. They call for backup as Zander flips over to them and attacks using his draining power. Clive enters a guard’s consciousness and attempts to close the door as another guard puts his foot in the door. Clive proceeds to jump through consciousness’s to wreak havoc and confusion among the guards. Zander crit fails on his life draining and something strange happens to the guard he is knelt on... Amber manages to drag Peter out from under Nina while Llynos strangles her. Nina pulls through the forcefield, shredding the skin on her arms and gouging a huge wound across Peter’s stomach. Nina and Peter faint while Clive and Steve go back to the outer room to retrieve Llynos’ sewing kit. Amber puts a forcefield around Nina to trap her and Amber and Llynos work together to heal/stitch up Peter, it’s not enough but adequate for now. They also heal some of Nina’s wounds. Clive finds a secret passage by the bookcase and they decide to leave with Nina.


27/07/15 – There’s a vampire in the tunnels!

Before entering the secret passage, the group want their stuff back, but in the outer room, something weird is happening to the guard Zander touched and even more guards are filling the room. Amber drops the forcefield around Nina (leaving Llynos to watch her) and goes to put one up in the outer room, she asks Sam and Zander to help her push the forcefield across the room with the intention of pushing the guards back so they could get their stuff (Zander doesn’t push quickly enough and faceplants). To the guard’s surprise, an invisible wall pushes them back, but another commotion is happening behind them as the supposedly dead guard gets up and is transformed as a huge, scrawny vampire creature with long claws and a snout. A hideous massacre ensues as Amber strengthens her forcefield and the others rush to the secret passage, abandoning their headsets and fire extinguisher. Nina still in were-cat form crawls into the passage before them, they follow. Sam picks up Clive’s limp body along the way. Amber is last to turn away from her forcefield as she sees the vampire creature rip into the guards and blood splatters everywhere. She runs to the tunnel, which is very dark. Sam leads the way, (her horns scraping along the roof of the tunnel) using her fire to light the passage (which may have accidentally lit Clive’s head alight first, but she got it the second time). Llynos uses her power to blow anything out of the tunnel after Steve saw something. Amber goes back to shut the passage opening, but not before something passes her first. The group shuffle along in part darkness, Nina limping/crawling ahead of them. Something swipes at Amber and misses, she freaks out. She holds out a forcefield as a shield as the something lunges again, revealing claws and a snout. The vampire is right behind them! Amber screams for the others to hurry, as she is repeatedly attacked. They eventually find some stairs, it's very dark so Llynos stumbles into them and breaks a finger. She makes a huge deal of it while Amber loses it (her forcefield gone after it was smacked into by the vampire-thing). They head up the stairs to find themselves on a tiny slippery ledge on a cliff overlooking the sea. Nina is nowhere to be found. Llynos flies out. Sam flies off the ledge with Clive and drops down, as Steve steps out and immediately flattens himself against the cliff, refusing to listen or budge to the rest of the group. Llynos and Peter both try to coax Steve along the ledge, no one else can get out of the tunnel onto the ledge. Amber hears something behind her and freaks out again. Eventually Sam and Llynos fly Clive’s body and Steve to safety above the cliff, she then takes Peter but drops him because he's wet with blood. He manages to web himself to safety, Zander cartwheels along the ledge to the top of the cliff and Amber (last to leave the tunnel) is picked up by Llynos and taken up. Sam returns to the tunnel to look for the vampire, she conjures a flamethrower to pour flame into the tunnel. Nothing. The group collapse at the top of the cliff, the sun setting in the sea in front of them.


17/08/15 – The one with the Crazy Hobo ambush and getting Peter to the Vet

Atop the cliff, the group try to decide where to go next, Peter needs immediate medical attention, but would be recognized in Bludhaven if they left New Haven. They walk in the direction of River Dale, when Peter (carried by Sam) wakes long enough to realize they are in danger. The group get out of the main road and find cover in an alley, as they hear wild, crazy laughter and banging metal. Amber commands them to stop and leave them alone but the laughing continues. Sam flies up with Peter as about 40 wild, emaciated bodies covered in track marks throw themselves out of windows, into walls, each other and the ground below. Many die instantly, but the rest fight. A particularly dangerous one (wearing a wellington on his head) punches Llynos with surprising force. Amber and Llynos brawl, Zander somersaults away and Steve hits some (*I think?) Zander waits for them on a wall up ahead as Llynos and Amber leave the tunnel Fighting is still breaking out in the alley and the hobos are basically killing themselves until no one is left standing. The group find themselves in an orchard, where they pick slightly old, withered apples. Zander squeezes apple juice into his gnome (this is bizarre in or out of context). Sam decides to fly ahead with Peter (who is not looking good) and Clive’s body and flies straight to Centre Town. When she lands, it’s eerily empty. Guards literally quit and flee before her and she notices strange shuffling figures in the shadows. She leaves straight away and goes back to the group: “It’s zombies.” is the conclusion. So Sam flies back to River Dale instead. Everyone else follows on foot. Sam arrives at the top of their tower and shifts down, heading down the stairs with Peter. The rest arrive at the gates of River Dale and are let in without fuss. Inside they request a doctor immediately for Peter (Sam raises some eyebrows) and are taken to their closest thing: a Vet. Upstairs, the Vet takes a look at Peter and requests payment for her services. Peter offers his glasses and Zander hands over his gun (lethal, not a stun gun). Peter finally receives halfway decent medical attention! But he will still require 12 hours to recover in-game. The Vet also gives Sam a jumpsuit to cover up. The rest of the group goes to see Bertha, who wants to know how the meeting with the Madame went. They admit it didn’t go well, however there are more pressing matters at hand: vampire zombies apparently (along with a huge vampire monster on the loose below Centre Town). Bertha is somewhat skeptical (assuming the monster for the were-cat Nina) but the group try to convince her. They turn to Zander for vampire expertise. Bertha looks to him, as he ends up admitting he is a vampire. She isn’t happy. She gives them 12 hours to recuperate, but after that, they will never be welcome in River Dale again...


24/08/15 – The one where Zander apologises and the group were actually Heroes

Amber, Llynos, Sam and Zander stand under a small tarpaulin stretched between four poles outside as they contemplate their situation. Amber and Llynos insist that Zander goes to apologise to Bertha, it’s the only way to redeem the relationship. Zander is reluctant. Amber hears a strange howl in the distance and Llynos flies off to investigate, agreeing to be back within an hour. Sam waits under the tarpaulin while Amber and Zander go to the tower to see Bertha. At the tower, Zander convinces the guards that Bertha wants to see him and they are let through. They walk up to the throne room and wait at the stairs as Bertha is having a meeting. Llynos flies out near Centre Town and spots something down below. She flies in a bit closer to see monsters below her: a vampire, a were-cat and a werewolf fighting (this is not the start of a joke!) She wants a closer look and summons a wind to lift the werewolf, she overestimates and sends the werewolf howling and snarling into her face. Meanwhile, Sam waits patiently for Llynos to return. One of a group of guards who had been watching her in her tight-fitting jumpsuit approaches and begins flirting. Sam calls him distracting; he doesn’t know how to respond. He asks why to which she explains she is counting (the 60 minutes before she could go find Llynos!). The guy’s come-ons are flat-out and brutally refused. Back in the throne room, Amber and Zander listen as Bertha’s soldiers tell her about strange goings-on in Centre Town and the monsters that are ravaging the people. Eventually they leave and Zander approaches Bertha. She doesn’t look up from her book whatsoever. Zander proceeds to make one of the worst apology speeches ever. Amber facepalms out-of-sight by the stairs. She motions for him to come back but stops after Bertha reacts to him walking away. Amber silently mouths for him to shut up with his stupid excuses, go back and apologise properly! Zander tries again, a bit better this time but falls short of an true apology. Amber decides it’s time to intervene and steps out from the stairs. Meanwhile, Llynos is in the air with an angry werewolf attached to her, digging his claws in painfully. She eventually manages to get lower and get the werewolf off of her (I can’t remember how) and flies straight back to River Dale to tell Sam. Amber steps out behind Zander and commands him to give the speech of his life, saying word-for-word what to tell Bertha: to grovel, explain he’s not worthy, that she’s the best thing that has happened to him in his miserable life, that he couldn’t live without her, that he respects her, that he loves her etc. etc... Five minutes into the speech, she holds up her book to hide her smile and eventually stops him and forgives him. Just as: Sam and Llynos burst in with news of zombie vampires, a vampire monster, were-cat and werewolf are headed this way, and Steve and a punk-dude with a green Mohawk, leather jacket, baseball bat and big ass boots called Isaac run in to announces the zombie vampires are at the gates! Everyone runs outside to see a horde of shambling vampire zombies storming the gates. They have already broken through the West gate and the River Dale army is holding them back. Amber runs to the gate and put up a forcefield at the entry point, Sam carries Isaac up to the wall for a vantage point. Sam struggles to burn the horde, but Isaac seems to have no trouble sending out sheets of electricity to decimate the attackers. Zander gets out his scythe to cut down the horde, Steve shoots through rows of them at a time, Llynos sends them flying into the air and Amber enters the fray to punch whatever comes close. The horde are many in number but singularly weak and it takes a mere 15 minutes for the group to wipe them out. The Steve shoots the last one as the remaining guards begin to applaud the group. Sam sets about burning corpses as Llynos and Amber see to the wounded. Suddenly through the hole in the gate, Steve spots the vampire creature approaching them, dragging a black furry creature behind it. Steve attaches metal to himself and magnetises himself towards the gap in the gate (*I think that’s how his power works?) only to smash into Amber’s forcefield (it’s a rite of passage by this point). Amber lets the field down and Steve continues towards the vampire. Amber agrees to go back to explain the events to Bertha as everyone else leaves River Dale to confront the vampire outside. Steve shoots the vampire but they are both sent flying away from each other as Zander, Isaac, Sam and Llynos arrive on scene.


31/08/15 – The Revolution Committee

Amber spots Bertha, she is wielding two double-handed battle axes (one in each hand) like a boss and cutting down vampire zombies like grass. Amber puts up a forcefield at the East gate and brawls through the horde. Meanwhile, Zander, Sam, Llynos and Isaac reach Steve and the Vampire Steve shoots at it from the ground, hitting perfectly, but the creature still stands. Sam flies in the air, Zander unfolds his scythe and Isaac electrocutes the vampire. Sam plummets to the ground, landing on top of the vampire, causing it to faint. Two figures emerge from a nearby building, a nondescript adult male and a short woman with curly strawberry-blonde hair, long ‘hippie’ clothing and a gnarly wooden staff containing a crystal. They introduce themselves as Jim and Easter. Sam proceeds to chomp on the vampire’s neck before burning the body. Upon the vampire’s death, the remaining vampire zombies drop motionless in front of Bertha’s army. Amber investigates a body; no response. She instructs the soldiers to burn all the bodies and let’s Bertha know the status of the West Gate. Bertha sends 2 soldiers with Amber as they go to join the others. Sam wonders where the black were-cat went and everyone searches. Jim and Zander notice a strange creature crawling along the walls, but Steve sees the cat crawling silently and slowly away in the shadows. They follow it into a building and Sam creates a fire to light the room. The were-cat legs it upstairs and Sam puts the fire out. Isaac lights his baseball bat like a light bulb instead. The group head upstairs while Sam keeps watch in the doorway. Addition by Sarah: Jim looted the vampire guard after the others killed it and found a set of keys Easter accidentally offended Sam right after meeting her by calling her a costume, then one of the damned. She apologised so they're cool now. Easter used her hippy skills to make were-cat Nina less aggressive. Easter then healed and calmed Nina and turned back into a human, accidentally almost killing her in the process (she has less HP as a human). Llynos and Easter worked together to heal Nina enough that she didn't die. Both Sam and Jim went to Centre Town to investigate and to reclaim the group's gear. Sam poked one of the dead bodies and all the guts spewed out. Sam thought it was pretty standard, Jim threw up. Sam remembered where the trapdoor to the Madame's home was and they went down. There were dead bodies everywhere. Sam thought that was actually pretty gross, Jim threw up again. With the looted keys they got all the stuff back and found a survivor! Yay! Amber and the 2 soldiers leave River Dale and approach Sam just as the others carry Nina’s naked body out of the building. The skin on Nina’s arms is torn, strangle marks wraps around her neck and huge gashes cover one side of her torso. Easter, Llynos, Amber, and Zander heals her wounds as best they can, keeping her unconscious. The group create a make-shift stretcher out of wood and Amber and Zander’s shoe laces. They decide against taking her back to River Dale (knowing her history with Bertha) and they return her to Centre Town instead. Sam flies Nina’s body to the Madame’s room, where she finds the group’s gear (headsets, fire extinguisher, stun guns etc) as well as an unconscious guard. She leaves Nina safe with someone to help her recover. Centre Town is empty and full of motionless vampire bodies. Easter suggests making a funeral pyre and the group set about piling bodies while Zander keeps watch. They set the bodies alight and in the fire, Amber sees a terrifying face while the others feel strange as the flames climb high and last a bit longer than they should as they die out slowly. Only Steve sees Death herself personally take the innocent souls with her to the afterlife. As the flames reduce to ash, dawn breaks over Centre Town. Amber and Zander gather some supplies from the abandoned stalls. Suddenly they look up to see Bertha and her army approach from River Dale, at the same time as a set of free runners covered in patched cloth and a huge metal truck arrive from different directions. They all look pissed off. Bertha steps forward as a man covered in patchwork clothes and another man on the armoured truck step forward. The metal leader asks who’s in charge of Centre Town. The group explain that the Madame still lives and therefore owns it, and Llynos inadvertently ends up asking the three armies to unite their forces and escape New Haven together. Everyone falls silent and listens to Llynos. They agree to hold a peaceful parley in half an hour to discuss a plan. The group set up a round table and chairs as they develop a plan. As they speak, Steve notices 2 member of cloth leave in the direction of the wall and goes in pursuit, but cannot find them. The people of cloth do not respond to questions. The three leaders return to parley. Llynos introduces the group and their powers, as their skills are integral to their escape. They explain their two-pronged attack: Sam is to fly immediately to the Mayor Benjamin Josiah's mansion with Jim to capture him, before anyone can suspect an attack. Steve and Isaac are to take out guards upon the wall from long range, as Amber, Llynos and Steve combine their powers to reinforce the armoured truck and ram it into the wall to bring it down. Easter and Zander are to follow up through the wall to help with the ensuing revolution to create a distraction for the Bludhaven police force and protect the escaped members of New Haven. Isaac will then take out the metal robot units as everyone works to overthrow the militarised police, Law Tech and the corrupt Mayor. The leader’s listen intently and when Llynos is finished, everyone applauds the plan, except for the people of cloth who are reluctant to cheer. With everyone in agreement, they are ready to commence with The Revolution.


7/09/15 - The Revolution Begins

The group spend a significant amount of time fine-tuning their plan of attack. The people of Metal have rigged the armoured truck with explosives and gasoline and it's practically ready to blow. Sam leaves just as dawn breaks, she takes Jim and they fly to Josiah's Mansion. The rest of the group draw out their plan of attack, because New Haven is difficult to navigate in straight lines and the truck being so volatile, they decide to attack one of the main gates using the already straight roads, but they have to move quickly before the alarm is raised. Steve and Isaac go out to the their posts near the wall to discover guards waiting for them along the top, they already knew! They begin sniping out guards one by one. Amber and Zander get in the truck and Zander drives slowly to the gate. Amber holds up a forcefield above the front and top of the truck, protecting it from attack. Easter stays back with the people of Cloth and Llynos with one of the other tribes. The various tribes filter out into surrounding houses, ready for the wall to be breached. Sam and Jim reach the mansion after flying around the New Haven wall. They decide to land on the roof, away from the many guards that have sprung into action below. Sam shifts down and waits naked on the roof while Jim heads inside. He uses his cover of darkness to sneak past cameras and guards until he reaches a room thought to be the mayor's. But he's not there, instead it's a woman. She doesn't spot Jim but leaves with the guards outside. (*Did Jim search the room at this point?) Back at the wall, The truck slowly builds up speed as Steve and Isaac pick off more guards. They are a few hundred yards off from the wall, but still not fast enough! Llynos joins them and uses her wind powers to help speed up the vehicle. Guards begin shooting the truck, but Amber's forcefield is holding up. Eventually they reach about 60-70mph and Zander grabs a brick and shoves it on the acceleration. He leaps out of the truck, does a few cartwheels and somersaults and walks casually into one of the buildings by the road. Suddenly he becomes aware of a vast amount of blood somewhere to the South of them. Easter with the people of Cloth, has been betrayed. Everywhere they are turning on others and the leader holds Easter at knife-point, she was an inch away from having her throat slit. She manages to break free and uses her staff to hit him in the crotch. Meanwhile at the mansion, Sam notices a commotion on the ground. Jim returns to the roof with no sign of the mayor. They look down at the gardens below them to see a single figure running away covered by a jacket and surrounded by dozen of security guards! They seize the opportunity and Sam shifts back into demon form and carries Jim down to the figure below. Jim uses powers of darkness around themselves, but Sam can't see though it so they struggle to land but somehow Jim grabs hold of the mayor. They fly off as guards aim rocket launchers at them and fire, but fortunately they are not hit. They fly away successfully with the figure they deem to be the mayor. Back in the truck, Amber's forcefield has taken about all it can take. Steve holds his turn and waits for Amber to escape, she leaps out from the now speeding truck and rolls. Not as gracefully as Zander but without hurting herself. Steve uses his magnetic ability to 'shoot' the truck directly at the wall. But the forcefield has taken a lot of damage and the truck can't take much more before it explodes! The remaining guards fire and take out it's last hit point just as the truck launches and reaches the wall....

.....BOOOM!!!

The truck just manages to take out the wall and the guards, but it also destroys the houses in the vicinity, including where Steve and Isaac are standing! They fall into the rubble. Llynos and Amber head South to help Easter and Zander looks for Steve and Isaac. They emerge from the rubble in one piece but a little worse for wear. Amber and Llynos reach Easter and help her fend off the people of Cloth, who cut their losses and run away. They all regroup by the wall, which is now a pile of rubble, to see the New Haven tribes pouring out of the gap and into Bludhaven as Steve notices two helicopters off in the distance, carrying a Lawtech crate...


14/09/15 - The Revolution Happens

Sam and Jim successfully kidnapped the actual mayor! On the way back to Center Town, Jim noticed some People of Metal and had Sam drop him off, he wanted to convince them to join the revolution. Sam returned back to Center Town with the mayor. He took one look at Sam and basically passed out. Thankfully Easter was there and she patched him up a little. While Sam and Easter were trying to decide what to do with the mayor, two People of the Cloth attacked them! The Cloth people were wildly unsuccessful and were both unconscious in 1 round; one took a staff to the gonads and the other got fire punched. With that problem dealt with, Sam left the mayor with Easter and flew away to rejoin the others by the hole in the wall. Sam let Easter borrow her comms because they assumed she wouldn't need them. Back at the People of Metal, Jim convinced them to take him to their leader to discuss a deal. The leader is basically an 8ft tall man made entirely of muscle, with a 2-handed battle axe and absolutely covered in makeshift armour. After a lot of discussing, they agreed that the team would give 1/4 tonne of (Sam's) treasure and in return the metal people would join the fight. The People of Metal immediately streamed out to join the fighting just outside the wall. Meanwhile, Llynos had noticed the 2 helicopters coming over the horizon carrying a 'Lawtech' box. Using her wind powers, she forced the helicopters to collide with each other, totally destroying them. They also landed on top of the newly re-build bandstand, destroying it again. It turned out there was a 12ft tall robocop-type robot in the crate, and it was still functional. It shot Llynos out of the sky making her unconscious before marching off to join the fight just outside of the wall. Steve this whole time had been sniping wall guards, and found himself surrounded by some sort of elite guard force. He ducked into a building for cover but was taking heavy fire. Sam arrived in the same area and noticed the guards were carrying heavy weapons and heading right for the civilians outside the wall. In an attempt to distract them she did a lot of flamethrowers, and it was enough for Steve to duck out the backdoor of the building he was using for cover and escape. The guards tried to shoot Sam but only injured her. The leader of The People of Metal and Giant Robocop had a fight at this point. It was very cool, the Metal guy was winning and it turns out robocop can't shoot straight. At this point Jim had arrived at the by the wall hole and saw Sam fighting the guards. He ducked behind cover and used his powers to create a shroud of darkness around the gunmen. Unfortunately it wasn't very effective, and the gunmen shot Sam again and she fell unconscious to the ground. Easter had been spending her time trying to put the mayor somewhere he couldn't escape from. She wasn't strong enough to carry him, and instead rationalised that she should just drop him down a 10ft hole and just heal him afterwards. So she did. She handcuffed the mayor to The Madame's bed, noting that Nina had completely vanished from the room. With her work done she decided to rejoin the rest of the group. Jim saw that Sam was in trouble and made an attempt to rescue her. He darkened the dark shroud around the guards, but one of the guards got lucky and managed to shoot him anyway. He was also knocked unconscious and the darkness shroud dissipated. Then Easter showed up! She snuck around the guards and hid behind Sam's giant unconscious body while healing her. The guards noticed that Sam was getting up again and opened fire, but they were both mostly fine. The Metal man and Robocop are still having a 1x1 fight at this point, until Steve and Llynos show up! Steve does his Steve thing and shoots half the robots face off, but the robot is still standing. Llynos decides that she should just lift robocop up really high and then drop him, so she uses her wind powers and raises him up. She then drops him about 4 stories, and at the same time Steve shot his leg off. Metal man uses the momentum of robocop falling to slam him into the ground with his axe. Robocop is definitely dead and sitting in a crater. MEANWHILE, Sam and Easter are trying to decide how not to die as the guards prepare to shoot them again. Easter suggests using her powers to imbue Sam with energy, effectively increasing what damage she could do. Sam agrees, they're dead if they don't try something radical. Sam begins to glow red, it is not a pleasant feeling and burns badly. Sam sets herself on fire, flies high into the air, then slams down into the guard's formation. They are extremely dead and Sam is covered in gore. Pretty standard as far as this day is going. The group regroup and Easter heals everybody up while they discuss their next move. They decide they need to take the (still unconscious) mayor to the roadhouse for interrogation and handcuff him to a chair in the secret basement. Llynos demands that they give him a cushion for the chair and a cup of tea. Now they just need to figure out what to do about the rioting!


21/09/15 - The Downfall of Josiah Benjamin

The group have the (still unconcious) mayor handcuffed to a chair in the roadhouse basement while they decide what to do now. The eventual decision is that they need to stop the riot. Step 1: deactivate the killer robots that are gunning down the rioters. Jim and Eostre head to the main police station in Bludhaven to try and turn off the robots, and while they're there they encounter a woman named Sandra Draephus who is the ex head of the police. Sandra bosses around the police to do their damn jobs and is generally really cool. The current head of the police appears and tells Sandra to leave, but Eostre threw a snowglobe at his head and he got knocked out. Sandra regains control of the situation, and tells them that they need to create a scene and a scandal so big that Josiah and LawTech couldn't possibly keep going.

Jim and Eostre relay the information to the others, and they leap into action. Llynos,Steve and Sam all head off to the town hall with (still unconscious and handcuffed to a chair) Josiah in tow. When they get there they notice two LawTech robots gunning down civilians and we're HEROES now so we're not going to stand for that!!! Llynos and Sam try to get the robots attention by doing a dance and yelling 'LOOK AT ME I'M A DEMON AND I KIDNAPPED THE MAYOR' but the robots don't notice. Sam tells Llynos to do something illegal to get their attention, so she goes and flies in front of them. The robots tell Llynos it is illegal tofly without a permit and they open fire on her. In an impressive manoeuvre, Llynos flies between the two robots so they start shooting each other. They both get stuck in a loop of “HALT! You are damaging LawTech property!” and shooting each other.

With the most imminent threat neutralized, the group make their way to the balcony on the town hall. Llynos screams really loudly for people to stop fighting,almost deafening the group in the process. With order mostly restored the group make a pretty lame speech about how Josiah is BAD and LawTech is BAD and that they should feel BAD. (Lots of Bludhaven news crews recorded it and edited it later so they sounded better, though.) Thegroup tells the tribes and groups of Bludhaven to select a representative, and to meet back at the town hall the next morning so that they can start putting together a council. Sandra arrives to arrest Josiah, and Sam happily gives him to her. They have the following conversation:

Sandra: do you have the keys for these handcuffs?

Sam:…..........................no.

Sandra: ok then.-throws him in the truck-

The group spend the night in the town hall. The creepy guy from the water plant is here because Peter told him to get a new job, so he has a new job! They watch themselves on the TV. Also it turns out that all the LawTech robots have been recalled, and lots of the police who got fired for being not-corrupt were given their jobs back.

The next morning,representatives from all the groups and tribes in Bludhaven arrive at the town hall. The group tell them that they don't want any hand in running the city, they just staged the coup to get rid of Josiah because he was ridiculously evil. The group hangs around for a while to make sure things are civil, but the people of Bludhaven arrange the new council on their own. The group disappear into the night,presumably to get a beer or something because it's the end of the plot arc. Oh, also Sam takes Peter to hospital and puts Clive in her house to use as a hat stand. The end.
