This Is Some Rescue...

13 September 2011~

After much discussion, we decided that we had only a very few leads, but not much time in which to generate new ones, either. Smart money seemed to indicate that our friends (Craig's Kensai and Kevin's Zen) were being transported to Area 51 in Nevada, and so we decided to go get them!

Of course, breaking into one of the most highly secured military bases in the country (or- more importantly, as Kevin pointed out helpfully- breaking back out again) seemed to be a fairly daunting task, even for our group, so we decided to intercept the transport in which our friends were being hauled around as an alternative to a suicide mission. To do that, we headed down to Las Vegas, with some of us flying while others teleported, and then rented a car to drive out and hang with the [other] crazies near the base entrance, hoping for a "sighting". Things began to look up when a security convoy (very polite and friendly after Jeff charmed their officer) came through in the early morning hours to clear the road, and Jeff's lich (I think we should call him "Jack Knife," since he can do virtually anything) and Bruce's werewolf Ghost Wolf turned invisible (and insubstantial, where applicable) and stayed behind while the rest of the group drove back toward the nearest town. When the convoy got close, Jeff mass dazed the truck's occupants before he and Ghost Wolf boarded the truck- Ghost Wolf running insubstantially through the truck then stepping up into it, and Jeff hawk flighting to match velocity, then teleporting inside. Oh, the fantasy physics! After that, it was quick work to grab our buddies and exit the truck the ways we had entered, then beat feat away the way they had come and then into a culvert.

Unfortunately, the truck stopped almost immediately, and the chase helicopter, UAV drone, and chase cars began to search the area. Jeff and Bruce hunkered down under an illusion and began checking out Craig and Kevin, who had been drugged and unconscious for at least a day. Although they were alive, it seems that they were in a bad way, and we're worried that there may be some sort of drug or poison in their system that will have bad effects if not remedied, and soon. Next week, we may need to take some rather direct action to get away. Let's hope no one has to be zombied this adventure...
