Saviors of a Divided Nation

Mission 11 XP:

Natalie Adkins/Rigor Mortis(Lec) : 1350 Level Up!(6)
Edmund Wiegand/Der Engel des Lebens(Red) : 1350 Level Up!(6)
Adrianna Ramirez/La Centinela Silenciosa(Sam) : 1350 Level Up!(5) New Feat!
Scott O'Leary/Intel(Arrow) : 970 Level Up!(2)
Boghos Vartan/Kendani(Kinich) : 1070

Payday! Salaries Earned! Despite the fact that this is technically the same night as last mission. Gotta keep gameplay rolling.

I don't think I have time to update the NPC list, so expect that later in the day. I'd appreciate it if some of you posted logs so I didn't have to triple-post to get the XP up, and I will award 100XP per log.

Until I know what my girlfriend's schedule is for our weekly sleepovers, there is a tentative Thursday night mission planned, with the actual big subfinale mission that will conclude this arc to be decided after the weekend.

Let me know your availabilities next week. It'll be a long mission, so I'd rather do it either starting earlier than 5PM or in two parts.

Total XP(Needed for level up):


Natalie Adkins/Rigor Mortis(Lec) : 9690(2310)
Edmund Wiegand/Der Engel des Lebens(Red) : 9230(2770)
Adrianna Ramirez/La Centinela Silenciosa(Sam) : 6990(2010)
Scott O'Leary/Intel(Arrow) : 1250(750)
Boghos Vartan/Kendani(Kinich) : 3435(565)

Well this isn't really a log, but there was a pretty important peice of information that came out last mission that LH didn't really mention there, so I'll give a quick run down of some of it. Following an unsuccessful search for Emily and the others, the team met on a rooftop to discuss further options. They were then contacted by the teleporter 'Blink', who offered them a lead to the 'Inquisitor' in charge of the secret police. This link turned out to be her daughter Taylor Phandys, who was persuaded to reveal the location of her mothers headquaters.

The team headed there to investigate. They discovered a hidden torture chamber containing the rather Gruesome remains of Liam Cooper, who had apparently talked before finally being killed. They continued onwards, and eventually found the Inquisitor meeting with Captain 'Zan' Brockway. The Inquisitor revealed she knew most of their identities, and a fight broke out as all sides refused to surrender.

The team was ultimately victorious, with the help of Morrighan and the shadowy 'Nightblade', an american hero gone fugitive from the new acting president. Although Zan dissappeared, the Inquisitor was captured, and the teams interrogation revealed a terrible fact. They were too late: Tom and Emily had already been shot, although nothing was said on the fates of Brenda, Rebecca, or Jennifer. The Inquisitor gloated for several minutes at the teams horror, before finally activating her cyanide capsule and commiting suicide.

I hope you can find the bit that matters in that write-up fairly easily. :p

XP: Mission 13(Mines Finale)

Emily Lesiane(Dem) : 1140 + 1860 Level Up!(7) New Feat!
Rigor Mortis/Natalie Adkins(Lec) : 1140 + 395Level Up!(7) New Feat!
Der Engel des Lebens/Edmund Wiegand(Red) : 1140 + 855Level Up!(7) New Feat!
Intel/Scott O'Leary(Arrow) : 1140 + 610Level Up!(3) New Feat!
Le Fantome/William LeBlanc(Megs) : 1140 + 1860Level Up!(7) New Feat!
La Centinela Silenciosa/Adrianna Ramirez(Sam) : 1140 + 95Level Up!(6)
Boghos Vartan/Kendani(Kinich) : 1140 + 650 Level Up!(5) New Feat!

NPC Morrighan: Level Up!
NPC Nightblade: Level Up!

As a reward for finishing the Mines Arc, anyone who did not automatically level up was awarded bonus XP to the point where they did. Those who leveled up normally were rounded to the nearest thousand(going up). This can represent all the fighting your heroes did against the goons exploding back onto the streets, because with the exception of MAYBE an RP mission this weekend, the game will resume several days later.

Everyone except Sam has a new Feat to pick. Emily and William were revealed to be alive and imprisoned in the Mines when the team arrived and attacked Brockway, and the two led a prison break alongside Ubermensch and The Doctor. Since, the two supervillains have escaped back onto Actopian streets and resumed their interrupted gang war. Despite initial hopes, Emily and Will confirmed that though Tom, Jen, Brenda, Becca and even Liz were also in the Mines, Brenda died early on in Em's imprisonment and Tom sacrificed his life to save several innocents. Since then, Morrighan has quit superheroics.

Next major mission tentatively next Tuesday. Over the weekend I may host some RPs and minor missions if people desire, but it'll be mid-late next week before I can resume the full-on plot pushing.

All New Characters from this point out start at Level Three.

Posting this because I'm meaner than Dem. I am not double checking your posts to see what new Feats you've taken. Post something either telling me what Feat to give you or notifying me that you've taken a new feat, or you get nothing Feat-wise.

Next major mission Tuesday night, possible RP mission noonish today or tomorrow night.

Will look over Nuke's new char when I'm out of Arkham City.
 
Then for the record, I've taken Super Strength. :p
 
"This is Barbara Brennan, reporting live from the Presidential Palace. After last night's proclamation, the group of superpowered entities known as 'the Lords' have announced their first public appearance will be today, where they establish their policy for Islandstan in this troubling time. We have managed to get confirmation that their leader goes under the pseudonym The Liberator, and his chief lieutenants are Sonic Boom, Puppetmistress, The Bard, Bloodletter and Shadowbane. At the moment, no comment has been recieved from the so-called Saviors, the existing order of super. . . powered individuals who reside in Actopia. It is not known if or even how this tight-knit group will respond to the appearance of a new collection of supers on their streets."

The camera cuts to a tall, handsome-looking man, with a red beret and an AK47 casually slung over his shoulder. He's muscled and has a lean, dangerous look. 'The Liberator' begins to speak:

"Greetings, people of Islandstan. I am your new President. In the past you have been used to authority hidden in the shadows, using secret police and informants to rule your hearts and minds. I can promise no such tactics will be used. However, no dissent will be tolerated. Armed police will patrol your streets and ensure your loyalty to your country. The Lords will not tolerate attempts to further destabilize Islandstan in this time of crisis!"

"I have the utmost respect for the Saviors' valiant efforts to bring down the B&M regime I fought against my whole life. However, due to their failure to consider all ends, they simply destroyed the old order without preparing one to replace it, and that threw our nation into utter chaos. The only way for us to ensure the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, and all manner of other powers do not simply take Islandstan and her unobtanium is to maintain the mining complex and balance of power as it was before Brockway was defeated, and a centralized authority is the only way to do that."

"As such, I am hereby announcing that Actopia is under a state of martial law."

"You will not hear from me again. Any further commentary from the Regime will come through my Minister of Information, who you need only know as The Bard. Any attempt by Resistance elements or the Saviors themselves will be met by my military commanders, Shadowbane and Sonic Boom, leading a cadre of elite shock troops trained to put down far worse opponents than mere rioting ex-mine convicts. Those who cross my Regime will be ferreted out by my Intelligence advisor, Puppetmistress. And my ally Bloodletter will support the Regime with her not-insignificant resources."

"You will never know our names. You will never know all we do for you. You will not see free elections until the time of crisis as defined by us is over. But this is what needs to be done in order to save our country. When our time is done, we will vanish into the darkness we came from, and in our wake you will have a functioning, open and free civil government. For now though, I leave this with one final comment."

"To the so-called Saviors of this Divided Nation. Have you ever considered that all of this is YOUR fault? You violated Brockway's laws and brought his hammer down on Actopia. You assisted Ubermensch, the Doctor, the Raiders and countless others in escaping the Mines and bringing their war back to Actopia. You murdered Milton Brockway in cold blood and threw the consequences at the feet of the people of islandstan. You have emerged from the darkness to justify your own inner lust for violence and war, and when the inevitable results of your actions rise from the ashes, you refuse to be held accountable and take responsibility for your own actions."

The Camera cuts back to the reporter as her commentary begins again:

"Chilling words from our new President. It does seem he's doing what's best for our country, though. Without Brockway's authority vested in the President, there was no organization to any new authority that would rise. Civil war would have been inevitable if the new President hadn't swiftly taken action. As it stands, Islandstan is in for hard, hard times, but we might just survive without a foreign invasion or crippling civil war. Live from the Presidential Palace, this is Barbara Brennan."

-----

And that everybody, was the TV broadcast announcing our glorious new dictators. I cleaned it up a bit to work in normal text format, since just copy-pasting the posts from chat would have been a bit incoherent, but the exact words are basically intact. I think most of the players who listened to this were busy plotting the downfall of the new regime by the time it was done. :p

And LH already knows that my new feat is Mind Raping 101 Psychic Powers. Which have already been put to good use on my fellow players. :mischief:

Finale Thursday at 5PM EST. Be there or be square.

Postending RP will take place either Friday or Sunday at 5PM, depending on how things slide. Even if you're not normally an RPer(cough Kinich cough) I really really strongly recommend you show for at least the opening. I have cool scenes planned for each main PC to conclude the game. There exists the possibility beyond the final RP for perhaps another RP if people demand one, and one "Battle Royale" which will be a non-canon pure fighting match that pits the PCs against wave after wave of every mook and boss I've devised in the game, until either the PCs all go down or they defeat the final round of enemies.

Anyone who cannot make either of the dates for the postending RP, speak up. If you can make one but not the other, let me know.

For those of you who missed it, the "final postending RP" was interrupted by the true orchestrators and final villains of the entire plot - Natalie's old mentor, the Snow Maiden, and her daughter/apprentice, the Cassandra you've all come to know and hate. There was a vicious battle and the team barely stopped Snow Maiden from blowing up the Vein of Unobtanium, which would have caused a chain reaction that would destroy the world. As a side effect of the monorail crash at the end of the fight, the Mines are themselves now completely shut off from the world. It would take a massive expenditure and amazing manpower efforts to reopen them.

If the players desire it, I will host a long RP mission on Tuesday night for the wrapup for the players that did not make it. Yes, this time I give my absolute word of honor that is in fact nothing but an RP.

Tomorrow night, I will host the Battle Royale, where everyone will face off against every NPC I made for this game, big and small, good and evil, and get to see all their abilities in their fell glory.

Special thanks from the People of Islandstan go out to all the Saviors for their bravery. You will forever be remembered as heroes.
