quotemyname Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Months ago, Maestro was defeated at the hands of Breakdown and his band. Maestro ended up being deafened in the process. Understandably, he still holds a grudge against Eddie Ozan. I'd like to have another thread with him. Partially to explain the aftermath and how Maestro regained his hearing, and partially to get Eddie's heroic career back in action. Who would be interested? Are there any refs that would be willing to run Maestro for this? Link to comment
Faust Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm interested in having either of my characters help Eddie out. If he's got the need for a pl10 fighter or a pl7 teleporter, I'd like to join Link to comment
Darksider42 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Rift is up for this. The Maestro is also an enemy of his after all. Link to comment
Supercape Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Supercape could show up, if you need another! Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Wow! We've got 4 people who want to tackle this storyline. Awesome, guys. Thanks. Now we just need one of the Red Names to run it. Anyone interested? Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Bump! We've got players, we just need a Ref. Anyone want to tackle this one? Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 If no one else steps forward, I'll do it, after I wrap up a few threads/the October Vignettes. Did you have an idea for when/where/how this'd go down? Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 First of all, thanks for stepping up, Doc. I appreciate it I was thinking maybe we could talk about that. It's obviously up to you to decide the manner in which Maestro returns to active duty. He presumably wouldn't be too active until he has his hearing back, so theoretically however that happens will play into his return. For instance if one of the other villains invents a device to support him, maybe he's teamed up with them? If however he discovers some new magic artifact or something, he might be using that, etc. I have a few suggestions as to where. If he's actively out to get Breakdown, he might seek him out at: 1] The Millenium while he DJ's 2] Yet another concert he happens to be holding 3] His new public school (possibility of lots of innocent bystanders). I kind of like option three best as of right now. We've done the concert thing already. Millennium I'm "meh" about. But saving his new school might be just the opportunity to show the hero community that he's still one of them. As for how, I would assume Maestro's out for revenge. Or something more sinister and he's simply making it look like he's taking a personal shot at BD in order to disguise his efforts from the hero's or other jealous villains. Thoughts? Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Remind me, how did Breakdown deafen him? Just an Auditory Dazzle? If so, that would (eventually) heal on its own. If something more, well, Maestro is already a member of a supervillain team (the Crime League) which features both a super-scientist (Doctor Simian) and a sorceress (Medea). There's also the possibility he wouldn't rush to get his hearing fixed -- look at all Beethoven did while deaf! Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 It was in fact Auditory Dazzle, but it was sustained, and a Crit. I did the math, and Shaen double checked it at the time. And it would be something like 6 months before he would be able to make the save if he rolled a twenty. Failing that, the next opportunity to save is a long time coming. And even then he still needs to roll a 19, etc. Given reasonable assumptions about probability it will be a long time before he recovers naturally. He would be long dead by the time he would have a 50/50 shot at making one of these saves (by rolling a 10). And you may be onto something with that Beethoven thing, Doc. Maybe he decides to come after BD without his hearing to try and prove that he's as good or better than the famous composer! Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Breakdown, Rift, Supercape, and one of Faust's chars, right? Link to comment
Supercape Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Supercape is still up for this, of course! I will pose the question: Thats at least three PL 11-13 characters - Maestro will need some Zombie Octopus Cyborg henchmen or something... If it would help (I'm not sure it would, but still), I could throw in Slick instead at PL 8. Link to comment
quotemyname Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Sounds about right, Doc. And Breakdown's actually sitting squarely at PL14 these days Maybe Maestro should attach laser beams to his zombie sharks :P Link to comment

Supercape Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thats sounds frightening and ominous - Slick is going to getting beaten to a pulp isn't s(he)? Count me in! Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Don't be silly! Slick's not fibrous enough to have pulp! Link to comment
Supercape Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 A pool of oil then! Link to comment
quotemyname Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Doc, you disturb and delight me all at the same time :P Link to comment
N/A Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It was in fact Auditory Dazzle, but it was sustained, and a Crit. I did the math, and Shaen double checked it at the time.

Maybe he decides to come after BD without his hearing to try and prove that he's as good or better than the famous composer! This is all true. Specifically, since Dazzle is a Lasting effect, it was a Sustained (Lasting) duration, which is a whole different ball game than a non-Lasting Sustained power. However, as I've said before, The Maestro has several teammates on the Crime League with powers that could counter the Dazzle effect long before it would wear off naturally. And they'd probably charge him through the nose to do it. So The Maestro has just as much reason for hating Breakdown either way, but it's unlikely that he'll still be deaf by their next meeting.

quotemyname Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yes, that's exactly the point I was trying to make, even if I didn't articulate it very well. >_> Link to comment
Sandman XI Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 If there's any space left open, Muse'd be up for it. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Breakdown, Muse, Rift, and Slick? Yeah, I can definitely work with that.... Link to comment
quotemyname Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Great! Any idea when we can get started? Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hopefully tonight Link to comment
