Julian would create a little ball of light to help guide the others and use his compass to try to stay the course along the way through the desolate if wet Outback.

The aged IRC volunteer places her hand on Alysa's shoulder and gives a little squeeze, offering thanks for ensuring the vehicle was serviceable. "I'll send help." She nods and then makes sure that Katana is safely buckled in before firing up the ute.
In a handful of seconds, you are left alone in what remains of a comet-shattered city with only the storm and each other to keep you company. Guided by Julian's light, map, and compass, you find that the damage gets even worse the further eastward you press, with Those that choose to take to the air find themselves assailed by the storm and nearly zero visibility (20 meters / 65') flying faster than a slow walk.those that are walking find slightly-warm saltwater flooding up to your ankles for the most part, though at times they are immersed up to your knees, the murky and filthy waters with all manner of debris floating in it, making you wonder Lionfish, stingrays, sea and tiger snakes, jellyfish (especially tiny Irukandji), saltwater crocodiles, stonefish, blue-ringed octopi, and all manner of sharks, including the great whitewhat else might be 'neath the waters. Buildings closest to the Coral Sea have received the most severe damage, with those directly adjacent to the waterfront are simply gone, the water displacement from an 8-kilometre-long piece of space ice having thrown moored sea-craft inland by multiple blocks. No abductors are encountered, possibly due to the horrific weather, which is expected to last for as many as 5 days. Already the rest of the city are preparing for inevitable flooding. Blankets are easily acquired as the Cairns Central Business District is a tourist mecca, though one has to accept stereotypical Australian-themed content, like koalas, 'roos, and the like. Other items are easily acquired as well, such as freeze-dried food, a crowbar, flashlights, bottled water, battery-powered waterproof hand-held radios, if one was so inclined to We can hand wave the scene where you pay for what you take thing, if that is what you would like to do, as long as what you acquire is reasonably within your Resources (which means Ian can probably get a couple bottles of Dom Pérignon). Feel free to find enough to make a costume to hide your identity if you wish. Cairns has a thriving costume business for drunken college kids to wear whilst engaging in bacchanalian pursuits (only redoubled during Halloween). I'm sure they have a higher-quality section that would suit any that wished the changing-into-a-hero montage. Note: none of the props are real, so swords are foam or plastic, but the costumes are high quality. engage in some pilfering. Your first landmark is reached in short order, as you come across the burned-out husk of what was once a military helicopter, now little more than a melted husk in a vaguely-helicopter shape. No supplies have survived the conflagration, though this is perhaps a blessing as you also cannot identify if there are any bodies that might be contained therein. Something about the scene nags at those that are Please include an Intuition roll versus Excellent Intensity (yellow result require for everyone, save Julian, who needs a green result), due to the storm, to notice signs that this craft has been examined after it fell by someone wearing combat boots as the soot has been disturbed in that pattern, there are spent military flares to be found amongst the rubble, and that the CVFDR (combined cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder) is missing.particularly observant. The esplanade is little more than displaced pavement covered by seaweed, with broken bits of cars, boats, homes, hotels, et cetera, but it also gives you a vantage point to see the shallow lagoon’s sculptures and Alysa flying above finds that some 200’ off the muddy shoreline are two upside down boats, one matching the description that Katana provided is still intact and moored, and the other, a much larger ship, breaking apart against a rocky shoal with no one aboard. Cobbling together all the craft scattered the shore offers sufficient oars to get a slightly-leaky 14 person rowboat into the water as long as the group works as a team, they should permit the group to transport a rugby team in one trip. Julian's rowboat offers a different option, since it will be ready much quicker, but will take more trips. Flying, teleporting, swimming, or rowing to the capsized boat without any troubles, allays some fears as you hear muffled crying from within: Right boat, and at least one of the rugby team remains alive. Noteworthy are the 3 large bull sharks circling the vessel, a species noted for being both aggressive and highly-territorial. [Feel free to interact with this scene at any point. +5 CP and +125 Karma to all, Posting is of such high calibre, engagement is excellent, and the energy is so good that everyone may have another thematically-linked power (or a Permanent Power Stunt that costs zero Karma to use) of their choosing at Excellent (16) for free~; please include this in your changelog with the note "Judge's Boon" for my reference] Last edited by Anarchy; Aug 2nd, 2024 at 11:41 AM. |

Ian had made the mistake of leaving his tactical suit behind at the campsite. So after a little joking about gearing up in costume from the costume shop, he picked a simple balaclava to hide his identity as well as clothing that he jokingly considered close to his tactical suit As far as a well orchestrated plan to rescue the shipwrecked Rugby team, Ian wasn’t sure if it fell together exactly as they had planned. But he was willing to offer his services in any capacity that would be of assistance. He wasn’t sure if he could air lift an entire boat, but he thought that he could use his air control to help smooth out the process.

“Bravo Tango this is Echo Foxtrot, joining all you well applauded dancers with a little number of my own. Once we finish mission we can meet up at Whiskey Hotel.” Ian added his own brand of humor to the radio chatter. The new set of instructions sounded much easier and with possibly a higher chance of success. Still, the sharks had him concerned. “Let my future designator be Pressure so as to avoid any confusion. I will gear up the winds as soon as Anima gives me the all clear that force field shields are in place. Also, please help me keep an eye on those eaty fishies. If they make a move, I am gonna slow down the sailing maneuver and try to flip those bad boys for a loop. Roger Dodger over and out.” They may be a little rough around the edges, but this little team seemed to work well together. They certainly tried hard to make it so. Ian wondered if they might be interested in working together in the future, once all this disaster relief business was well behind them.
