Codename: Red Hawk: Hiding in Plain Site - Issue 7

Location: Memorial Park in Our Fair City

In a section of Memorial park kids did not play and parents did not talk as they watched. Here was a battlefield. The sides were the B.A.D. guys versus the defenders of right: Condor, Shatterman, and Red Hawk. So far only one of B.A.D. had fallen beaten but since there were more to them the fight was still far from being decided.

Condor swooped over and above SWARMaster. He dove back down smashing into his armor, denting it.

“You’re going down Bugman!”

“Not by you Cantdor! B.A.D. will triumphant today” 

SWARMaster barrel rolled away from his opponent.

“Oh yeah, I know all about the rest of the bozos and they can’t beat anyone”

“I don’t need them to defeat the like of you, Cantdor”

“Oh yeah, you and want army?”

“Me and my insect army!”

A swarm of insects covered Condor. They tried to get past his armor and a few succeed. Condor endures their bites with resiliency. The insects are tiring him more than anything else.

Shatterman took flight from the tree top he was in. He stared a hard look at Cosmic Zoom and then flew in the other direction.

“Cosmic Zoom! I am getting my butt kicked by a dork calling himself Cosmic Zoom!” This is ridiculous. As much as I hate it I need to buy myself a little time to heal.” Shatterman thought to himself.

 He flew further in the heavily wooded area to keep out of the giant’s reach as he regenerates and recovered from his beating. Cosmic Zoom screams in frustration! “I’m winning! You choose to run what kind of hero are you! Come back here you coward!” Cosmic Zoom ran after him but the trees slowed him down. He was unable to reach Shatterman.

B.A.D. Momma showed a grim smile as she aimed her energy Luger. “Hurt my boy will ya?” She fired striking Red Hawk in the chest but the beam was unable to penetrate his skin.

{GM Note: 9 points of damage all to Invulnerability, Invulnerability now 1 point}.

Concerned for Dennis’s well-being, Red Hawk almost considered double teaming the big guy with the sword. He says he’s okay but, taking a blow like that had to have hurt even someone tough as Dennis. He takes another shot like that, I don’t care if he waves me off or not that giant is going down. For now Red Hawk decided the fastest way to really help his friend was to get this battle over with. We need to find whoever is creating these illusions.

Using his heightened senses he found the Amazing Kudebuck hiding in bushes. The dwarf hadn’t even created an illusion to hide himself. Red Hawk fired a vibe blast at the infamous illusionist and missed.

The Amazing Kudebuck looked at Red Hawk and everything went black. Red Hawk couldn’t see. He reached out with his other senses to find a way out of the darkness. He couldn’t find a way out but he did sense a tree approaching. With a quick shift of his body he tried to fly past it. His reflexes weren’t fast enough. Red Hawk smashed into the tree truck splitting the tree into 3 pieces as he flew through it.

{GM Note: Successful Detect Hidden rolls to find Kudebuck and the tree. Failed Agility save as per Darkness rules. The total damage was 8 points. Since this is greater than structure rating for wood so half to the tree and half to Red Hawk. Red Hawk took 4 points damage: -1 to Invulnerability and -3 to Power Points}

I am not providing a map because on the number of Flyers in this combat. The PC and the majority of the NPCs can travel the entire length on the park multiple times.  If you have any questions about landscape let me know.

John,

Okay, let’s see here. Condor has chosen Swarm Master, Shatterman confronted Cosmic Zoom. Given his inexperience I guess that leaves the woman for Red Hawk. He would assume with their experience and confident attitudes they are okay. Even with some reservations concerning Shatterman seeming to be taking a beating.
  
Red Hawk IC: Concerned for Dennis’s well-being Red Hawk almost considers double teaming the big guy with the sword. He says he’s okay but, taking a blow like that had to have hurt even someone tough as Dennis. He takes another shot like that, I don’t care if he waves me off or not that giant is going down. For now Red Hawk decides the fastest way to really help his friend was to get this battle over with. We need to find whoever is creating these illusions.

Red Hawk Actions: Chris will take a second and try to use his hi-tech senses to discover the source of the illusions. If he finds it he will attack it, if unsuccessful he will go for a shot on the Angie look-a-like.
  
OOC: I have an idea but I thought I’d keep it super simple this Turn. If he does not discover the source of the illusions I was thinking next Turn, he might send out a vibratory wave in all directions. Its frequency would be based on the successful results from the gate as a way to discover the source of the illusions. A power stunt idea born from earlier events. If you don’t want the power to be able to do that, that is very cool. We don’t need to get into any Spatial Awareness situations
