Session 11 – Attack on City Hall

The Scarlet Scourge wakes up and thanks us for helping him. He and the Occultist say that they will take care of Cyrus Sharpe themselves. We bid them farewell.

We ask Jade Monkey where he is going next. He says that we will accompany us to Carbon City if we wouldn’t mind giving him a ride. We do, and drop him off in the Chinatown area of Carbon City. We tell him that we’d like to work with him again and give him our information.

We jump forward from November 1937 to February 1938. The Nazis have already annexed Czechoslovakia and Austria, but things have been relatively quiet in Carbon City. We have been helping out with minor things like fires and getting kittens out of trees. We begin wondering what is going on.

The team starts asking informants in town what might be happening.  Between the Chinatown contacts that Jade Monkey has and the people working at the car factory, there has been a “gag order” put on crime. We aren’t able to find out anything else.

We have a meeting in the OctoCave one morning, and suddenly all hell breaks loose. We get notifications that there are robberies, arson, bank robberies and a tank advancing on city hall. The newspapers report that people are stealing payroll.

We take the OctoPod downtown and find the tank. It looks like a weird science contraption. Harry parks the OctoPod in an alley and we all jump out. We see that the tank has mad science parts on it, like a Jacob’s Ladder.

We all attack and Nitro breaks the tread on one side of the tank. Jade Monkey strikes his staff on the ground and it cracks open, partly swallowing the tank. It stops moving. Dr. Aquatic tears the door of the tank off and begins attacking the jumpsuited minions inside. Spectral Spear and the others follow up.

Spectral uses her martial arts skills to jump inside the tank and knock out several minions. Octo jumps in as well and uses his tentacles to take out three men. Only one remains.

Jade Monkey reads the mind of one of the men in the tank and learns that his mission was to get to City Hall and to kidnap the mayor. As to who ordered this, it seems like the memory of this has been removed from his mind.

Dr. Aquatic tears the door off of the cockpit and takes out the pilot. Octo binds up the others so they can’t move.
