Trimountaine Defenders

[ericpat]

I presume that Sheng usually rides in the zeppellin while the Count might fly there on his own.​

OOC: The Baron can create teleport portals to instantly transport each of us anywhere in a 20 mile radius. That is how he travels large distances. Sheng is more than welcome to step through before him. The professor is also welcome to travel this way, if he doesn't think he'll need the zeppellin.

A silent alarm has been triggered at the First National Bank of Trimountaine! Avengers assemble!​

The Baron centers himself, and begins to incant:

When villains commit deeds so rank
that heros must arrive to spank
We'll stop their greed
once we speed
to the First National Bank.​

At the end of the incantation, he reaches both hands in front of him and tears open a rent in the fabric of space to the area a few feet above the rooftop of the First National Bank of Trimountaine. He picks up his Cloak of Flying and places it around his shoulders.

If Sheng was back at the castle, he'll travel with the Baron's teleport portal since it would be faster. If not, as soon as he's informed by cell phone he'll head for the bank.

In either case, he'll have his Perfected Metabolism tuned for movement (Super Speed, Leaping, Wallwalking).

Sheng and the Baron walk through the portal and arrive on the bank's roof. All seems normal. The 2:20 pm armored delivery car is still there. If you didn't know any better you would think there wasn't a problem.

Adam:
You hear on the police band that the police tried their normal "false alarm" check. They are convinced it is not a false alarm.
Still working on the video/audio feeds.

Atop the first national bank of Trimountaine

Sheng and the Baron walk through the portal and arrive on the bank's roof. All seems normal. The 2:20 pm armored delivery car is still there. If you didn't know any better you would think there wasn't a problem.

With a curt gesture, The Baron dismisses the Tear of Transportation.

He turns to his teammate, "Sheng, do you wish to wait for the Professor, or shall we engage them now?"

 

[Greybar]

"I believe we need to find the source of the disturbance as soon as we can, lest we be taken unawares. I'll check this side, perhaps can circle some of the others."

Sheng takes a few quick steps, and begins jogging down the wall that faces the armored car at 5 mph or so. He looks for windows that might be on upper office floors, and takes a few peeks in them on his way down, looking for any unusual activity.

 

[Professor Fosfoor]

Since no one else needs a ride, the Professor will use his jet pack to get to the bank. Along the way, he'll contact the other two (via Adam if necessary) to arrange tactics.

Should I make the flashy entrace in front of the bank while you two take a more surreptitious route?​

 

[ericpat]

OOC: If the Professor wanted to have jumped in the portal before I dismissed it, I could've waited for you.

Using his cloak, the Baron will float off the edge of the roof and down the side opposite Sheng, he will drift to each adjacent side of the building as he floats down to the sidewalk attempting to see inside the building.

Should I make the flashy entrace in front of the bank while you two take a more surreptitious route?

Over his commlink, the Baron replies "Until we've determined exactly what is going on, I'm not sure yet. We might need to entry dramatically sooner rather than later."

 

[Professor Fosfoor]

OK, I'll touch down on top of a building across the street from the main entrance of the bank and start looking around with all my peeper-scopes.

 

[Daphna_Llassa]

Sheng slowly walks down the bank walls. All seems normal until he gets to 2 floors above the lobby level. All the offices seem vacant.

After a bit more checking, Baron and Sheng notice one room where all the shades are down. (The level over the lobby.) There seems to be people noises coming from that room.

If Prof took the dimensional doorway, he will notice the "closed" sign in front of the bank. (If he didn't take the doorway, he'll notice in a few minutes when he gets there.)

 

[Greybar]

OOC: Are the "peeper scopes" something Sheng knows to be able to penetrate solid walls and the like?

"Professor, I believe we have a likely place to start..."
