GM Rodney, Suburb of Freedom City Thursday, 13th of May 2021 11:30 AM Once, Rodney was a peaceful town, known best for its fantastic sandwiches and its beautiful bells that rang out the hours. Once, Rodney was a free town, with people going about their daily business, children going to their schools, and the occasional tourist coming to visit the historic churches and official buildings. Once, Rodney was an ordinary town, with fine, law-abiding people and a gentle pace of daily life. Once, all of these things were true, but no longer. A week ago, a man with dark rock skin streaked with gold led a group of armed criminals into. Working together, they took the mayor and the rest of the city council hostage, and the leader, who called himself Ex-Prisoner sealed all the police who resisted his authority in stalagmites of pure obsidian. Since then, he and his gang have begun ruling the streets by night, even pulling in a few of the more corrupt cops as they rampage through the streets. The rare few reporters who managed to get word out of the town were swiftly hunted down and captured - or perhaps even killed. No one seems to know. Rodney needs heroes, desperately. Fortunately for the town, it is right outside Freedom City, home to one of the greatest concentrations of superheroes on Earth. Okay, @Kaede Kimura, @Lone_Star, @Spacefurry, let me know how your characters have heard about Rodney's situation, how they've met up, and so on.

This is the OOC thread for this thread. Welcome aboard, everyone!

Greetings, fine heroes of the forum! It's that time again. I have a continuation of the Obsidian Prison mini-arc that was begun in The Petty Tyrant planned. I'm planning to kick it off when my new character, Sable Raven, is approved, as I'd like him to feature in it. This means it will be a PL 9 to 11 thread, focused more on investigation than on combat. If anyone's interested, let me know!

A crisis has been reported in Rodney, a suburb a few hundred miles outside Freedom City. The local government has been taken hostage by a mysterious man with skin of black stone. Those police that resisted him have reputedly been sealed inside shards of similar rock, and he has brought together a group of criminals of various stripes to keep the citizens in line. Though the report only came in two days ago, it has supposedly been a week of mayhem and chaos for the people of Rodney, and it only promises to get worse. Rodney needs heroes to liberate the town from the grip of its tyrannical new overlord. This is a PL 7-8 thread that will be mostly combat, with perhaps a bit of stealth and investigation as well. While I have a few ideas on how the story might progress after the town is liberated, it's not something I'm willing to fully commit to at the moment. Thus, I welcome all comers who might be interested in scrapping with a bunch of thugs with more guns than wits and a minor powerhouse with a few interesting quirks.
