Greenbank, Freedom City...

Midnight's contacts told him that someone was using a warehouse as a makeshift drug lab and it looks like they were telling the truth. He mentioned the lab to the Legacy of Freedom and they agreed that it'd be worth hitting the place.

From the outside, the building looks just like plenty of the other run-down former industrial warehouses in the Greenbank area: windows covered or boarded up, brick and concrete walls covered with layers of gang tags and markings. Still, from Freedom Eagle's vantage, he can make out a few telltale signs: faint light leaked out around the window coverings and fresh marks show that the doors have been opened recently.

Scarab was using her telepathy to make sure everyone was connected. The team agreed to hit the place in all directions. "I'm at the southern door. Is everyone ready?" she asked.

Freedom Eagle replied "In position next to south-eastern window upstairs."

Lightbearer told her "I'm at the northern door."

"Midnight here, at northwest window."

"On my mark, we move at the same time. Now!"

Roll Initiative!

Freedom Eagle: 23
2 guards: 18
Midnight: 17
1 guard: 14
Lightbearer: 13
2 guards: 12,
Scarab: 8
3 guards: 7
Lab tech: 4.

The Legacy get a HP each for entering combat and another for using non-lethal force. They also get a HP each for their motivations (All of them agree that Freedom City needs a bit more cleaning up, and this would be a good start).

The guards are Thugs who are all minions with their "Choose One" skill put into Ranged Combat: Guns, making them PL 5. They all carry Submachine Guns with Laser Sights. The lab tech has the stats of a Scientist.

The thugs and lab tech are using lethal force, the Legacy aren't.


Freedom Eagle flew through the window, into the office and knocking out the lab tech who was running the place. The two guards at the door burst in and fire a burst at Freedom Eagle, but they simply couldn't breach his armour.</span>

Midnight smashed his window and fired his Midnight Mist through it. One of the guards fell instantly, but another held his breath in time.

Lightbearer blasted at a pair of guards, who got out of the way. One of them returned fire to no avail.

Scarab burst in, sending a mental blast into one of the guards. The guard next to him shoots back at Scarab, who effortlessly deflects the bullets.

Freedom Eagle Charges through the window, getting 27, Crit scored (+5 DC)! The lab tech was Surprised, got 7 to resist and is Incapacitated. The guards get 26 and Natural 20, no crit! (Minions can't land crits on non-minions.) They couldn't breach the Eagle's armour.

Midnight fires his Mist through the window, hitting two guards. They get 12 and 20, meaning that one of them is Incapacitated.

Lightbearer blasted a guard as a routine check. The guard got a Natural 20 to resist. The two guards nearest Lightbearer return fire, getting 14 and 20, one of them hitting him but not breaching his Impervious.

Scarab fires off a Mental Blast, hitting one of the guards. The guard gets 9 on his Will check and is down for the count. The other guard returns fire, getting 19 and hitting Scarab. Scarab rolls 31 to resist.


The guard who thought he could hold his breath... couldn't do it long enough and fell.

Midnight then ran over and sprayed the guards attacking Lightbearer. Once they fell, Midnight and Lightbearer headed for Scarab.

Lightbearer flew over to Scarab's position and blasted another guard.

Scarab wracked the last guard with her mental blast just as their boss wakes up.

Freedom Eagle attacks a guard as a routine check, hitting him. the guard gets 16 to resist and is down. The other guard shoots and misses with 20.

The guard who survived being caught in the cloud had to do a second roll on his Fortitude check. He got 7 and is knocked out.

Midnight fired his Mist at the guys shooting Lightbearer. They got a Natural 1 and 14, and are down for the count.

Lightbearer blasted a guard as a routine check. The guard got 14 and is down.

One of the guards shot Scarab, getting 21 and hitting her. Scarab gets 24 and resists.

Scarab hits the last guard shooting at her with another Mental Blast. The guard gets 4 and is down.


Midnight said "Their boss is waking up. You want to search him, Scarab?"

"Of course. He'll tell us everything we want to know."

The lab tech says "What makes you think I'll talk?"

Scarab said "You don't need to," and got inside his head. She said "I've got everything! We need to move, right now!"

Scarab does a Mind Reading check and gets 24. The lab tech gets a Natural 1. Scarab gets four degrees of success!

Midnight said "I just need to keep this guy still first. Don't want him to tell anyone what happened here yet." Then he shot the technician with his Mist, saying "It'll take an hour before he wakes up, but he'll be otherwise unharmed. Let's go!"
The Legacy of Freedom hear about a drug lab and shut it down the hard way.
