Heroes ‘31 (5 Nov 23)

Message:

We won! The Mystic Cabal has been driven from NYC. Great job by Dr Psych, Max Smart, the Manhattan Lug and the Marvelous Raconteur.

A decision was made at the start to no trust the Fem Fatale, Martha, even though she had our best interests at heart.

We entered the Cabal Headquarters. The Film production and altering is taking place on Ellis Isle at the Mystics Cabal Sanctuary. Dr Psych determined that the clue provided by the Aliens, a kidney, implied that the main lair at the hospitals was marked on the kidney shaped isle. Climax still had several confusing chambers that make the party move away from your planned course.

We met the Numinary, once again, and had to flee. But defeated the cabal Boss at the end. Rather nice event with plenty of Banes.
