Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

I vote we have a chat with Faust and White Knight.
They're bound to know something.

Then go and ask the freedom league if Hope can do a reading in freedom hall. I assume that they will extract a promise from her along the lines of if you see any secretish identities, please keep it to yourself. No problem. She doesn't have any issue with the leaguers.

(If supers were that cavalier about their secret identities, they would not be secret for long)

I figure it will be a bit more than that. But she'd treat it like any other investigation. If it doesn't pertain to the matter at hand, she's not going to use it. They'll probably geas-bind her. Which, under the circumstances, she won't protest as long as it pertains to that.

There is also a chance that's she's run into some of the freedom leaguers at one point or another. So they know that she is trustworthy and she knows that if they do geas bind her, it would be for her protection as much as theirs. She's not stupid and understands the kind of things that they attract. She wouldn't want any innocents caught in the cross fire.

(Interrogation Faust and White Knight sounds good, and shouldn't take too long either. If you want to use post cog, don't bother at Freedom Hall. The baddies were there, what, less than 10 seconds? Hit the spot where they waited to ambush the Freedom Leaguers. If we find out where Faust and co were hanging out before they 'ported into the museum, then look there too. Then you might catch any comments made while planning things.)

Good idea.
Also, she's going to read whatever Faust and White Knight had on them. That'd probably reveal some things as well.

Heh, remember, this is my first supers game..... So I'm gonna make mistakes.

Probly lots of em.

(OOC - Agreed. I think the captives are the best source of info we have for now. The other sources aren't BAD, but we should start with the horse's mouths, as it were.)

And you fellas get the fun part of watching Hope fast talk her way into letting the friendly local cape brigade into watching/helping her ask questions of the aforementioned bad-guys in AEGIS custody.

Ms. White says "I'll call Mr. Grey. Hope, you can go to Bruckners now. By the time you get there, you'll have official orders to interrogate the prisoners. What aboput the rest of you?"

 

[kirinke]

"I suggest either try to find Blitzkrieg or do some more digging on OxCorp and Wolfsohn, Shepard and Doe." Hope offered, as she stood up. "Right now, most of you are not in any condition to go head to toe with a supervillian. Gathering information is just as important in solving a crime as is the analysis and implemention of that information." she said with a small smile, trying to take the bite of the rather too real situation. Both Optic and Nightweaver looked like hell and Shooting Star wasn't too far behind.

"That reminds me," Viridian says. "That...spell Faust cast on us. I still feel weak. How long is it going to last? I thought the countermagic would break it, but..."

"Faust sold his soul in order to become more powerful," Hope said quietly. "The lack of a soul. Well. It gives him a kind of vampiric ability to absorb the fortune and life force out of his enemy." her expression turned grim, angry. "The more powerful the person, the greater the life force. His victims were typically the young for their vitality and meta humans and supers for their strength of spirit."

"I'm not sure on the specifics, but at a guess, that's the reason why you're still feeling um tired and run down. He stole a bit of you." she nodded to Ms. White. "I think they might have more details, I just learned enough to counter the sorry bastard."

When do they level? Or whatever the term is you use in M&M?
