The Guardians

Blowing things up is BAD. It lowers our public opinion. And gets us caught. Though being caught might be fun, itll lower our public opinion as the public will think were even more imcompetent. Dan wouldve been good for this, since hes invisible, and I say we wait for him. Ill phone him with directions. Failing that, subtle members go in. It might be good for Marathon to find a bike and infiltrate the gang. Im as subtle as a crowbar, since I dont like leather, so it would be better if I stayed for backup in case it gets ugly. Uglier than the bikers, that is.

Sorry for lack of update-age, Im trying to sort my computer out. An update tonight isnt looking likely either.

Well Martyns definitely out of time. Update next post.

Guardian H.Q

His training done, Blur goes out to join the others at Misty€™s garage. Halfway down the street, the problem that never occurred to the others occurs to him. He has no idea where it is€¦

Misty€™s

Marathon tries to find a way into the office, but the only door is locked. It€™s possibly a good thing for Marathon that his plan failed, as he never took into account that the bikers know what each other look like and would have spotted him anyway.

Streets

Blur is still looking for Misty€™s.

Misty€™s

Egged on by Stomper, Mephistopheles ignores Funkie Junkie€™s warnings and turns his attention to the bikes. The frames are made out of a heat resistant alloy, so he can€™t do much to them, much less blow the bikes up as intended. However the saddles and tyres burn nicely, rendering it useless. Then someone in the shadows yells out €œHey, that€™s my bike you censored!€

Their cover blown, ten bikers appear out of the shadows. Some are holding lengths of chain, a couple have pieces of two by four, one has a wrench, but one has pulled out a flick-knife. Suddenly the gates clang shut. The Guardians turn around, but can€™t see what€™s shut them. Without warning, the Shadows attack.

Outside Misty€™s

Blur finds the place just in time to see the gates clang shut in his face. Like the others, he can€™t see what€™s shut them.

Gameplay note. Failing to give an action while your character is in battle will result in them basically hiding from the action, contributing nothing. Just so you know.

Will I ever get to do something good in this?

OK, find the guys and help them out. Bikers are generally big, lumbering and a bit stupid. Perfect fodder for Mr Marathon! The main aim here is to dart between the Shadows, round and round and round and round (you get the idea). This should greatly disorientate them and allow the others to inflict some serious whoopass! :wink:

If Alex is willing to, can he blow the gates up so I can get in?

If not, then Ill climb over the stupid thing.

[scott]

I told you so, you muppets!

Ill unlock the gate for Dan, using my powers to unlock it. Then I plan to hide, and finish off the last guy, making me the hero :wink:

J/K, I think we should go for knock-outs, Ill call the police using my cellphone or if I dont have one, then any phone. Then Ill use blunt objects to hit them in the head with, like spanners, non-sharp bike parts, etc. I might get high (up :-P) and battle from there. However, my main priority is getting that flick knife out of that big stupid bikers hand. It might be a good idea for Marathon to get that, or to take on the knife man. Ill also try to stop their weapons and try to stop them from moving, letting others hit them. Maybe stand with Stomper, to let him do something while the bikers cant move. If things get desperate we should run, but knocking out bad guys always looks good on the TV. Everyone, HOLD BACK. We dont want them badly hurt, just knocked out so we can tie them up and wait for the police. Were the good guys, so yeah, NO KILLING.

Also remember, the police already think were idiots, being seen isnt gonna stop that, so dont pull another stunt like that anytime soon, so dont give them any more opportunities to further that opinion.

Public opinion is important, but each others well-being is more important, so dont do anything stupid, but cover everyone elses back, and theyll cover yours. Nobody gets left behind!

Ill try to blow the gates up, failign that Ill set their shoes on fire, which wont kill them so wont lower oppinion too much but will certainly incapacitate them.
