The Vanishing Tower

Bug and Mettle continue to explore the strange lab in the sewers beneath North Elmview with no sight yet of the strange Enhanced Entities they seek...

We leap forward post-Capitol Point Casino. Bug and Mettle have the Russian and Chinese mobs running business according to the PCs instructions and the Mayor has backed the cops off of terrorizing minority neighborhoods.  It is now July 1st, 2020 and the duo of heroes feel it is time to revisit the Cockroach Brotherhood, the strange beings encountered in the first smash issue of EHB, and see w...

Once again a truncated broadcast. What is missed is the confrontation with Endgame in his media control room with some still standing soldiers and a "refreshed" Troll. Bug and Mettle are able to convince the Russian mob boss that if they turned Shamrock Bane to them they would not tear down his hideout and not kill him. He took them at their word and the conversation continued.  Mettle and Bu...

Endgame springs his deathtrap! A combination of the BAM!-enhanced entity Troll and a massive, building-wide magnetic distortion field.

Mettle reviews the video of Shamrock Bane's kidnapping. Like Deckard in Blade Runner she enhances the cork-board conspiracy map and spots a closed radio station. Endgame, who is behind the Nefarious News Network, and Shamrock his captured news anchor, must be there! 

Taking UltraRosa's tip, Bug and Mettle raid a chines massage parlor to break up a human trafficking operation only to square off against Capitol City Ninjas!

Bug and Mettle conclude the only thing for it is to take a reign of terror to Capitol City mobs and get them to knuckle under to their demands. What could possibly go wrong?

Bug and Mettle stop into an all night diner and over cheap black coffee discuss how to save Capitol City from organized crime.

Bug, Mettle and Red (aka Blue Streak) conclude their deadly showdown with the Gulag Goons only to face more crisis and more confrontation!  (Director's Note: The last forty minutes of the audio file got corrupted and is lost. For shame because the heroic trio confronts NTROBee at the Town & Campus book store. The eco-terrorist agreed to leave town and in exchange he wouldn't kill the innocent shop...

This episode suffered from Ultra Rosa's vocals failing to record, but it does represent the conclusion of the Capitol Point Casino adventure and the takedown of Big Boss Man, the ridiculously large mob boss running an illegal weapons operation on an Indian reservation, with human trafficking thrown in for good measure. 

The regular time line resumes with Red Runner finding out his dad is town and Mettle meeting with the Russian Mob who is looking to take over the BAM! drug trade in Capitol City. (Director's Note: A new supervillain was introduced this episode, NTROBee. An EE with control over bees. He attacks Red's dad, Andrew Meyers, at the Wayward Journey, the bar Red and his band Swollen Shut are playing. Alas...

The Ultra Rosa cross over future adventure narrows to a close.

Finally getting this long rambling second part of the interview up. Enjoy!

Douglas Cole of Gaming Ballistic is out promoting his company's latest release Tower of the Moon and he takes the time to slum it around at the Vanishing Tower! This is part one of the interview where we get off into many roleplaying topics including the evolution of his 5th Edition fantasy heartbreaker Dragon Heresy.

Chapter 6 Curtain Call The Heroes come to an impasse in their negotiations with White Lotus over the Capitol City sex trade. The Heroes resort to their fists and try to persuade the Chinese Gangster differently!

Chapter 5  THE UNLIKELY TRIO OF BUG, ULTRA-ROSA AND RED RUNNER SUCCEED IN GETTING THE FEDS INVOLVED and THE NIGHTMARISH VIDEO OF THE NIGHT'S FIGHTING IS ALL OVER THE LOCAL MEDIA AND TWITTER-VERSE. THE WOMEN BEING TRAFFICED AT THE RESERVATION CASINO HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND ARE GETTING A CHANCE AT A NEW HOME AT RAINBOW'S END OR EVEN THE BALTIMORE. MEANWHILE, THE CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD IS NOT HAPPY WITH T...

[fixed ending] Going Into The Gutter For The Girls, MEGS DC Heroes  Bug has finished the escape tunnel, Red Runner and Ultra Rosa are ready with vans. Time to load the poor of Broken Village and get out of Indian Land. But Capitol Point Casino is there to stop them!

The third chapter of the Ultra Rosa player arc, Capitol Casino Royale. Bug, Red Runner, and Ultra Rosa drive out to Capitol Point Casino convinced an important part of human trafficking on the East Coast can be confronted, and innocent lives can be saved.

Seline Conner and Red Runner sit down to lunch with an agent with the BIA and assess what it will take to bust up the sex trafficking ring being run out of the reservation. 

Seline Conner has the same dream as her workmate. What they both have in common is the figure of Enhanced Entity Bug. Middle of the night or not, Seline needs to find out what is the deal with the local hero occupying their heads!

While Mettle tries to set up a new world order in the criminal underground of Capitol City, the Heroes get word Shamrock Bane is in trouble. Bug and Red Runner respond, hopefully in time to protect the popular news reporter from channel 7.

The aftermath of Wotan's defeat is assessed.

In the West Virginia woods our superhero trio puts it all on the line to banish Wotan. The mysterious Voodoo comes to grips with its ancient enemy and Fenris bars the way to his master!

The PCs agree to help the FBEE bring Wotan down once and for all!

The new trio of Superheroes end the confrontation with Wotan and his minions and now need to figure out their next move. The FBEE gives them that opportunity!
