Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
John pulls forth a short length of cable from inside his overcoat and binds her hands, carefully and thoroughly, but gently.
"I have no doubts she will reward your devotion to operational security."
He stands behind the guardswoman, and carefully places the pistol against the back of her head, once more, and pulls the trigger.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
John carefully removes the lass' uniform, flicking off a few...unsavory gobbets with a frown, before going through the papers, pulling on a pair of ill-fitting recently-liberated trousers and stowing his explosives carefully out of sight.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
Your investigation of the Coming tower reveals the following:
- A lot of Fueling Records for aircraft dating back about 3 months
- Lists, in code, of various invetories (you think) from the planes.
- The same for ships.
- A list of Current Standard Routine Orders (Daily, Weekly and Monthly)
- Two sets of civilian clothes (one male, one famale) and a man's DPM uniform (like all of DPMs, without a name tag)
- A small cache of emergency weapons, including a flame thrower, a demolition pack and several grenades.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
John struggles hurriedly out of his stolen uniform, and steals another one- the male- with a harried sigh.
He liberates the inventories where possible, and pulls out the standing orders; he takes the grenades, but leaves the rest and sprints out of the tower toward the runway, engaging his stealth once more as he does.
Another grape finds it way to the center of the runway, the timer set for a few moments after the first goes off.
He heads for the base entrance, skimming the standing orders and discarding them as he goes...

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
The standing orders are not very interesting, specialist military knowledge would be needed to assess them.

John hastily discards the rest with a muttered expletive and attempts to slide into the base, watching what others do and slouching in the standard DPM fashion.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
Everyone seems busy, no one is paying you attention. You are now close enough to see that, whilst guarded, the battleship has people going on and off steadily.

"Well, that makes that easier..."
John turns away with a quick shake of the head and moves toward the bunker/base/lair as quickly as possible, surreptitiously visible.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
Iron Talon looks almost tearful. Ranger is lowered to the ground and released. Behind Iron Talon, the black robed man shifts his stance into a "ready" stance.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
Trying not to distract Iron Talon or Ranger from their... development, Granite whispers to Shockwave.
"What's going on? How do you know him? What's Three Mile Island?"

Shockwave whispers back. "The nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island almost had a meltdown. We thought US Jack died shutting it down."

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
SOLID watches Ranger being released. The identity of his captor finally dawns on the dense soul soldier, and his face softens. . .slightly. He keeps his eyes on "Mr. Sweet & Sour."
"Listen, Jack. Listen to my main man from the old school. You gots people that'll help. I know puttin' the Man in his place is my mission statement. But the way you be doin' things-it scares folks. Gives The Man excuses to keep on the way he do."
((Ranger may be bluffing, but SOLID totally buys into the idea.))

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
"Alright Jackie-Boy. Ya done good." The Old Soldier put a hand on the former Patriot's shoulder trying to gauge his erratic behavior.
"I'll be at yer side all the way. Make sure the know what happened. We'll get ya the help you need."
OOC= Use Sense Motive +6 (I will let you roll since Ranger would not know if he failed) to see if he is going to go violent, If I think he isn't buying into giving himself up I will attempt a Bluff +5 on Gunmen (again please roll for me)to use the Redirect feat to make him shoot Iron Talon. Then I will move to control panel and attempt to free the others like Jack freed me.Last edited by jerichodrumm; 2008-08-27 at 11:05 AM.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
"Oh, they will find out" There is something in his tone that is unsettling.
There are no Gunmen in the room, only you four, Iron Talon and the Black Robed man. You would say that at the moment Iron Talon is overcome with emotion, but is highly unlikely to turn himself in and is probably expecting you to join him. I also rolled for you on the Black Robed man, he is ready to attack when you try anything funny, and is expecting that you will.Last edited by Evil DM Mark3; 2008-08-27 at 11:19 AM.

Re: World on fire [M&M 2e]
Ranger places himself in-between Iron Talon & the Black-robed figure and leans in and whispers "Sorry Jack." He then leans back and throws a roundhouse at Iron Talon his blow purpousefully goes wide missing Talon completely and throwing his upper torso to the side to evade any ranged attack from the Robed Man while hitting Talon instead. No matter the outcome he continues to use that momentum to scramble to the control panel to free his allies.
