Disclaimer: My notes for this game were stolen by a V’sori hacker who wiped them clean off my device. That means this write-up will be from my memory. And as you know; what I don’t remember, I make up.
We continued our monthly Necessary Evil adventure. This time Dr. Destruction ordered us to steal something from the laboratory of Hydra. Hydra was killed when the V’sori took over his secret base. We know the location of the base, but Dr. Destruction first wanted us to seek out a former V’sori battlelord who we may be able to convince to help us. The battlelord controls a power relay station. If we can convince him to “black out†the base, then the V’sori will not be able to send any distress messages while we’re there.
Hex insubstantially delivers a message to the battlelord to meet us at a discreet location. The meet goes well. It turns out that the battlelord has a grudge against the Warlord Shavak, who controls the base. He gives us a pen and asks us to show it to Shavak before we kill him so Shavak will know at whose hand his destruction came.
At this point I should mention that the object we are going to steal is something the size of phone booth. Dr. Destruction described it to us, but didn’t tell us what it was. We plan on having Dr. Moriarty animate so it can walk out on its own. We also want to destroy the lab. Mostly so the V’sori won’t know what was stolen, but also to keep the rest of Hydra’s experiments out of their hands.
As we stealthily approach the base. I think it was Strike that critically failed some roll that alerted the V’sori drones and K’tharen troops. The battle began.
Hex had insubstantially gone ahead to scout out the laboratory. To his amazement (and ours), the guards there had a device that could harm his ghost-like form. He spent the rest of the game incapacitated. The rest of the team either couldn’t get to him or didn’t have any reason (Hindrance) to help him. Yep, we’re a “Team†spelled with an “I†in there somewhere.
The battle was fierce. So fierce that Shavak decided it was time to leave. He headed for a V’sori Stingray parked nearby. We tried to stop him, but he made it to the ship and was gone. With the V’sori now leaderless, the tide of the battle quickly turned in our favor. We were able to get the phone booth (or whatever it is), destroy the laboratory, and be gone before V’sori reinforcements arrived.
