[M&M3] Astonishing Tales of Centropolis Vol. #3, Issue 1 ‘This Island Apocalypse’

"Yeah, that's a great plan. I think I'm the only one who can fly," The Princess pouts. "Can anyone else make it to the roof?"

OOC: How tall is the building? How many floors? They entered on 7th or 8th floor, right?

 

[GreenKarl]

GM: The building is 15 floor tall and the villains were seen going in on the 7th or 8th floor. The Shadow has Teleport and Silver Streak can run up the side of walls, so...

Taking charge the Shadow's request to AEGIS and Agent Blue were meet with a shrug. "I suppose" she said and spoke with the pilots on the VTOL outside the building to follow the heroes to the other end of the Plaza where it started circling high over the skyscraper.

The heroes quickly made their way to the the emergency center where Paladin and Rumble meet them. After a quick discussion the Shadow, Silver Streak and Princess Starlight headed for the roof while Paladin, Rumble and Kitsune headed towards the lobby on the ground floor.

The various points of entry were all found too be locked but were easily pulled open or bypassed (by teleporting) without doing much damage. Inside the building was very quiet and did indeed appear to be completely deserted, but just as those on the ground floor hit the stairwell the whole building shock violently!!! Dust and some light debris rained down onto everything and after everyone had picked themselves up and dusted themselves off again the building was once again silent...

Moving with more caution then before the heroes made their way towards the floors where the villains had last been seen. Getting around the 10th floor above and the 7th floor below the two teams found that floors 8 and 9 in total disarray and heavily damaged. Making their way cautionary through the area they find a large strange looking pod on the 9th floor. It looks half melted but is very similar to what the insect like aliens where attempting to assemble in the Human Inc. building...

GM: Technology checks [sblock=DC 15]This was a very advanced piece of technology but its destroyed now[/sblock] [sblock=DC 20]This was once a very advanced piece of technology. It appears that it uses some form of fold-space teleportation technology. It probably beyond repair though. Maybe you could figure out where the destination was though... it will take some time[/sblock] [sblock=DC 25+]This was an very advanced fold-space teleporter. You might be able to figure out where the destination was and maybe if you had the parts you could fix it[/sblock] Investigation checks [sblock=DC 15]The two floors here 8 and 9 appear to have been some kind of secret base. You can tell that the elevators did not stop here, nor did the stairs even have doors that opened here. You only could get it because of the destruction. There are a number of high tech looking devices and equipment here but it looks pretty destroyed[/sblock] [sblock=DC 20]The two floors here on 8 and 9 were pretty isolated from the rest of the building and obvious some form of secret base. The main elevators did not stop here nor did the stairwell have any doors here. The destruction is what let you access the area. You do discover another elevator that appears to only go from this floor upwards...[/sblock] [sblock=DC 25+]The two floors here on 8 and 9 were pretty isolated from the rest of the building and obvious some form of secret base.

Its got a security password on it but maybe it has something important on it[/sblock]

Kitsune strolls in, looking around warily. Her attention fixes on the melted thing and she lets out a low whistle.

"Welp...my guess is they used this thing to get out. What is this place anyway? Some kind of R&D room?"

She leans closer to the wrecked machine and scratches her chin under the mask.

"It kinda looks like that thing the giant bug-men were setting up. D'ya think they were trying to bring in more people?"

 

[jmucchiello]

The Princess looks around, not sure what she should focus on. She floats out one of the open windows, looking for signs of enemies in the air nearby.

OOC: Technology [roll0] Investigation [roll1] Perception [roll2]

 

[GreenKarl]

GM: Everyone can roll both Investigation and Perception for the same results. Also the Princess can use Expertise: Magic for technology as there is some of that involved. I am open to other skills for technology checks

 

[jmucchiello]

OOC: Exp: Magic [roll0]

 

[hero4hire]

"Bring em in...or port em out...Cuz teleporting would be the only way those two got outta here!" Rumble announced, sure he wouldve spotted the two escaping otherwise

Ooc:
perception: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22

 

[GreenKarl]

Rumble spots the strangeness within the floor and also the dedicated elevator leading upwards, although it seems that it was damaged when the building shuck as no car appears if the call button is pushed.

GM: Depends on how the heroes wish to advanced. No one really knows what the destroyed machine is except that it is advanced although the Princess can tell that it includes some magic.

[GreenKarl]

Silver Streak gets a good idea about what the wrecked machine was (he can see the Tech 20 information above) and both Paladin and Rumble discovered the dedicated elevator leading from this floor up towards the roof...

Silver Streak also finds a semi-working PDA within the debris (sensing it with his electronics sense)
