@thewizardguy, it's not that they're impossible to assault. It's because they're dispersed. Would Guilt expect the Island to kill children because their mother was working for the Kryptonites? Collapse a university because the Kryptonites recruited in the cellars beneath the library? I'll have this in the reply, but I figured it was worth saying now.

@floodtalon, the harpies and the Dragon/Blacklight fight are taking place in different parts of the city. Pick one or the other to get involved in.

But I did picture that horse-riding bounty hunter from Cowboy Bebop with your post. Andy, I think...


I see, I thought they were in the same place. My bad.

1) The Island is capable of sensing things throughout the city. Unless, of course, he was secretly hiding in that church. But if not, he must possess the ability to extend his senses through the matter he controls. So he should be able to track down the Kryptonites with relative ease. Just find the people with assault-rifle shaped matter in their houses.

2) What does killing innocents have to do with it? He's a High. Specifically the High Island. He can just to each of the individual members what he's currently doing to Guilt if that satisfies his conscience. Put em in a box underground. Creating air should be easy for him, and it's not like they can escape or avoid it.

@thewizardguy, you're making assumptions again.

1) How many innocents have rifles or guns in their houses for self-defense? And again, what's he supposed to do? Crush mothers, brothers, children, parents because they might be involved with the Kryptonites?

2) And didn't he just say they were trying to preserve life? The Ark against the coming Deluge? It's the same thing stopping him killing Guilt: his morals.

@floodtalon, don't worry. Just pick and stick.

You know... There is such a thing called suspension of disbelief... We use it when we watch movies, read books... Otherwise how would we have fun with any of those if we constantly questioned their voracity and believability?

@Regitnui

As I just declared, he's perfectly capable of nonlethally incapacitating people. Like he just did to Guilt. Guilt's abilities are far beyond those of a normal human, so if he can nab her then he can nab some asshat with a rifle. I really don't know why you're talking about crushing or murdering, I'm talking about jail. Maybe a proper court procedure. Those involved with the kryptonites may be accused of being an accomplice, or they may be able to claim ignorance.

Oh well. While I disagree with you on the idea that the High could not easily stop the Kryptonites, you are the GM and I will remain silent if you wish to declare this to be reality. I have no intention of starting a fight, and I realize I have complained more than anyone else already.

@ihinka, precisely. I can go on for weeks as to why the Kryptonites remain part of EC, about how they're recruiting from normal people, very few of them are actual murderers, how most of them have otherwise normal lives, but that's not going to convince Guilt, is it? Guilt doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand.

You don't destroy the ship to kill the rats. You don't burn the farm to remove the locusts. You don't crush large portions of the city you're protecting to remove criminals. That's what the High need Epic heroes for.

@thewizardguy, you could have discussed this with me beforehand. Suffice to say the Kryptonites are less of a concern to the High than a bigger, more apocalyptic event coming up, and if they could perfectly control the population, there wouldn't be any conflict in my RPG and therefore nothing for you people to do but poke at turtles and put down large birds.

@Regitnui
OOC I am aware that the High are not, in fact, evil. Although Venom might be a bit crazy. However, Guilt is completely unaware of anything apocalyptic coming this way, and cannot in fact imagine anything more apocalyptic than the previous apocalypse. Which is why she believes that the High are, in fact, evil. And why she wants to see the High perform acts of good in order to dislodge that idea.

I do apologize if you would have preferred if I discussed this beforehand.

@thewizardguy, the Island mentioned it. Send me a PM and we can straighten out the plotline for Guilt.

@Override, I'll give you a hint: harpies are mutated pigeons. Why would they be that aggressive towards a crowd of people? Note that I said this was a puzzle encounter.

We're keeping events relatively slow, so you shouldn't be far behind.

Well....that's interesting, and I can make Devil realise this, but there's not much else to follow after that. He'll just realise he needs to find out what the real problem is and then go exploring the area with nothing else to look for?

@Regitnui Can you take a look at the CS I filled in for Jet Fuel and add him to the NPC box?

Also, I do like creating characters, so I could make some more NPC's for different sides.
