Events from 3rd Sept 08

All Talk and No Action

As this session involved information gathering and revealing secrets I'm not going to worry about the order in which it happened.

Mrs Giovani
The Glass-Spider finally revealed to her team mates that she got married in Vegas to Marcus Giovani. This was met with mixed reactions, however the smokescreen of the other bombs that Glass-Spider dropped the negative reactions really didn't matter.

Facts Revealed about Marcus Giovani:

• Glass-Spider and Marcus attended the same high school.
• He and his family were the target of the attacks by Cactus Jack; apparently it was one of his ancestors that "ratted out" Jack to Lady Violet Pennyworth so Jack and his gang are just settling a score, by killing all the Giovani's they can.
• The company which Marcus owns is one of the top secret developers for AEGIS (American Elite Government Intervention Service; US government agency established in 1962 to deal with
• superhuman and paranormal threats to public and national safety.)
• Marcus wishes to join the team as a battle suited hero called Defiant. The suit is 90% ready for action and looks just like the amazing picture below.
  
• Marcus pulled some strings and had Behemoth freed, with the addition of a tracing device. Behemoth's current location is just outside New Orleans.

Eldrich Awakes
Eldrich has finally awoken from the assault that happened a couple of days ago. He has been undergoing epic mental combat with a demonic entity, he is drained but the team still need to get some answers from him.

He capitulates and answers the questions as best he can. The following information is revealed.

• Cactus Jack's immunity to magic comes from a lucky Jackalopes's foot which he wears around his neck.
• Mighty Lawman Snr. may well have joined forces with Cactus Jack.
• Taint is nasty - and can only be removed at a place of power.
  

The team's dilemma of whom they should be targeting (Cactus Jack or Mastermind) is resolved as Mastermind is only killing The 22; whereas Cactus Jack is out to cause maximum chaos.

The Next Step
The Action List of things to do:

1. Welcome Defiant as a new team member.
2. Discover the actual status of Mighty Lawman Snr. Can he be saved from the taint and will he join and fight for good?
3. Get a new base with Defiant's help, setting up the current base as a trap for Mastermind.
4. Pay a visit to Behemoth in New Orleans and maybe take the fight to Cactus Jack.
