The Line of Syme (OOC)

[Elegy]

In which a strange gang known as the Wickermen kidnaps a descendant of Seth's family for some nefarious purpose...

 

Partially adapted from a section of the classic Marvel RPG adventure module Night Moves.

 

Seth performs an extended search of a five mile area using ESP. He increases the DC by 10 to do it in an hour rather than a day, and uses extra effort twice over that period to get +4 and a total +6 Search bonus. He succeeds. He then burns a hero point so that he is only fatigued rather than exhausted.

Seth uses his Will Save blast on the door guard, scoring a hit. The door guard, being a common cultist, doesn't have much willpower. He fails his save hard, and is immediately rendered unconscious.

Seth uses his telekinesis to blast Frankenstein's monster. Thanks to the creature's awkward bulk he hits, though only just. Though made of tough stuff, the monster fails its toughness save by more than five, and is bruised and stunned.

 

Doctor Frankenstein takes a swing at Seth with his bone saw, but misses spectacularly.

Seth misses Doctor Frankenstein, and Doctor Frankenstein misses Seth. The monster, no longer stunned, lumbers forward, but takes one additional round to reach Seth because of the obstacle between them. The following round, Seth scores what would be a critical hit against the Doctor (if he were not immune) with his telekinesis, and the Doctor fails his toughness save by more than 10, leaving him staggered and stunned.

 

The monster picks up its slab and tries to hit Seth with it, but misses. Seth hits the monster with his telekinesis, and the monster narrowly fails its save, becoming doubly bruised. The monster responds by smacking Seth across the room with the table, leaving him bruised and stunned and knocking him back 25 feet. The creature spends the next round stomping over to where he flew. (Accidental extra attack roll for the monster; I used the first one).

 

Seth stand back up and blasts the monster, but it still refuses to go down, merely becoming thrice bruised. The monster tries to hit him again but fails badly. Seth hits the monster again and still only bruises it. The monster swings at Seth and misses again. Seth hits it and it fails its save by more than 10, becoming staggered and stunned. Seth still doesn't finish it the following round, giving it a sixth bruise.

 

By this time Doctor Frankenstein has reached Seth, and the two robots attempt to go out in a blaze of glory. Seth hits the monster again and finally squashes it, but Doctor Frankenstein hacks the young mage up with a critical hit from his bone saw, leaving Seth stunned, bruised, and injured. The Doctor attacks again while Seth is stunned, but misses. Seth turns, hits the Doctor, and finally ends the fight.
