Say how do you think luz and vee will react to rod and tod, rod and tod are the sterotype of the obedient christian children, vee is a mixed bag, for luz probably horrified how they lived their life(ned isnt a bad parent nor is maude but you do have to admit that they do take the crhistian household teachings a bit farther than people like to admit and how much of a wimp both tod and rod became throughout the simpson seasons)

Yes! Absolutely! Diversify our portfolio and start bringing jobs in to town!
We should also try to recruit the Radioactive Men. Get us some more martials to work with. We are woefully outgunned by our neighbors. Wouldn't hurt to have some help dealing with Burns, either.
EDIT: Oh, and the zombies! We should do something about that, too.

Send the Finale to search for Radioactive Men, who knows what happen to him, and Mona may have better luck into looking at these mysterious group.

We planned this quest before DVV group created the Salem group, they arent a thing on this quest. We are doing our own take of Owl House in this quest.
Just a comment but Assigning Jasper to the qimby action is a bit of a waste, cause whatever action he is assigned to doesnt count for the total limit, he is an extra action like qimby's. Doing that bascially emans you have one action less than what you could.
EDIT: Also, you guys need to remmebr you took the reach out to doof action, on the upcoming itnerlude you will have to choose an action on which doof and abe will collaborate on, lokcing you guys unto that for next turn.

The thing with Ned is that I really cannot blame him for how Rod and Tod came out.
TBH the flanders is a family full of messes that do need to see a teraphist imo.
Like Ned from childhood pretty much hated his parents because they just never truly cared about doing something about him, when you can do pretty much everything without getting a 2nd glance it kinda becomes pointless.
Then he got the treatment and was unable to truly say something for decades.
He probably went christian and too strict on rules and codes because he must think that he is at least giving Rod and Tod what he never could have growing up.
Then you have Maude death which probably made them spiral futher down.
Ned so far has been the only one trying to move on, but he is still probably having doubts and his mind being a mess that he doesn't notice he isn't helping rod and tod move on either.

I dont want to take any more income reducing actions unless necessary, given we are getting low and the QMs are giving worrying comments again, I think we should use an martial to lock down the graveyard given its now an top priority, and researching gill before he has any possible chance to escape is an good idea, also fat tony gets loyalty debuffs from an lack of MAFIA actions
This is Subject to change,

I think is better to out the Hillbilly army on the cemetery to at least give a bonus roll since is a ticking time bomb
I think is better to hold this for now in order to not pissing off Syndrome yet. The guy has a complex for superheroes so is better to hold this for now until we become better prepared to handle hostile actions of the Kings in our fair city, in my opinion i better to check what that senator wants, maybe is a limited time event like the Itchy and Scracth show and narrative the guy is not going waiting for too long in wanting to speak with Abe.
We don't need to establish a Mafia Action this turn and the Lemon Farms give us a extra Income to cope with the lost of revune in keeping the Itchy and Scratch show alive plus is a very low DC roll as well
I think is better to foucs all our research in the Power Plant instead of looking to other areas for now since still is a environment hazard and increase Income as well, allowing us to also cope with the cost of buying Krusty Show.

For the first, it got lost in the copy and paste, fixed
Syndrome has now left with the bandit, and we are free to go for it, furthermore while syndrome dislikes capes, doof and shego (the kings that benift the most from killing us) both like them, but i can see your point... i will give it some thought
given tonys luck i dont particularly want to go for the personal, and the stat boosts due to mafia actions for him will be nice, it also gets us some income as well, which makes it better for now
Gill is almost certainly going to try and escape, whether he succeeds or not doesn't matter in that i want to get this done, its absolutely an timed action as an result however, thus getting it done quickly will be important
Itchy and scratchy unlocks further animation options, so we can start doing those next turn alongside KTCS, since we get our big load of income on turn 6, which will allow us to do those actions heading into the big paycheck

Should we send someone after Burns? Just to keep him busy?
Possibly in the place of the security force, but i think we await the RR and see if he does anything before deciding if its worth anything, he is recoiling at the loss of bots so he might be distracted making up for that anyways.

Yeah, I don't think we really got any good candidates for that anyway. I say it's better to pull a full court press on Burns while we can! He'll go back into hiding soon, after all.
Possibly, but again i think its best to see what burns is up to this turn, us going on the attack might be an good idea, or it might be an terrible one, all depending on what burns does.

...fuckign Hell, Willie just wasn´t having a good time this turn, huh? First he and our Yokel Militia quite literally got absolutely creamed by the Birthday Bandit, then his "Bru-shining operation" (I know now that Irn Bru ain´t booze, but I just needed a "cool" nickname) gets busted by Wiggum and he has to lay low for a bit...really feel sorry for the old grouch now...
Also sucks that Syndrome got what he wanted without having to go through anyone else, but DAMN if Mr. Baker didn´t go down fighting - he obliterated our forces, drove off both Sideshow Bob and that Kiki gal and still went surprisingly close to coming out on top against the Syndroids.
So why the Bandit biting it soon ist sad, he had a last dance worthy of recognition - I´d definitely be up for us *Eventually* orchestrating Syndrome´s downfall in BBs honour in the far future
Oh, and Burns remaining empty-handed is swell as well - so despite us technically performing the least, in the end everything I hoped for (the Bandit going out like a beast and Burns getting shafted) happened in the end - *nice*
While I am a bit confused about whether Bots´ interrupt even did anything tangible, I am very happy at the one-two punch FT landed with his actions - especially since Kamp Krusty ended up a bit of a mixed bag in terms of benefits for him specifically (was hoping for a bigger opinion boost, but our morals kinda prevented that...oh well...)
So yeah, FT´s gotten *punchy* now and sneaky as well - *me likey*
...and Ned is netting us *Two positives interludes in one go* (speaking of his PA - any word on Camilla for someone unfamiliar with TOH? How likely is their relationship to work out and can we epect her to know something of how the Villain Victory went down on her end?) - that´s what I call "pulling your weight and then some"
Really curious what collabs and other stuff we are getting outta this - and not just because that omake can serve me so well as background fodder for my Candace/Stacy follow-up omake^^ Definitely makes me want to Talk to Shego some time in the near future as well to salvage that old "get Springfield designated as buffer state between DEI and Drakktech" I had before BB had breathed his last, for sure...
That protection bonus being on an ammo counter is a bit of a bummer, but still very good - as is the plus to both our coffers and Reputation
I´ll take it, especially in light of a certain "big" mishap further down...
...while his approach to prison security was expectedly"old-fashioned", it still did the trick and ZK brought that embuggerance called "Springfield Prison" up to snuff, meaning that we now got our own Gill-ed mutant to prod a bit in the future - neat^^
Aside from that, Wilhelm also found a new abode of his own, simultainously taking steps in being his own man and getting outta Ned´s hair, so there is that as well^^
Hmmm...
FT could save us some moolah once the NAs get *Really price*, but especially rn it´s not that reliable, Apu kinda hinges on us *Expectign* a crit fail for it to procc, Moe is pretty good in turns where we plan to expand our businesses and ZK is a small but *Consistent* DC reduction.
Kinda torn between Moe and Kaiser, tbh - I´ll have to literally sleep on it, I think...
Aside from that, *what is it with Abe nailing these Slot unlocks on his own*? Sure, Apu did a lot of the heavy lifting on this one last turn, but it´s weird that it happened twice now^^
...admittedly, we had to burn a lot of bonuses to get there, but that was still kinda anticlimactic - now, Burns´ spy ring is gone again already and he´s short an Operative
One could say that Syndrome success *Ended up backfiring on the old fossil after all*^^
...that happens if you put a prankster, a cynical bar owner and a sniper on trapping the perimeter, I guess^^
Our Prison might now be a fortress in the truer sense, but the Plant aint far beyond, I daresay^^
...that crit fail sucks, but considering our previous gains on other NAs this turn, that´s actually not that bad - but Jasper not pinning down Statler & Waldorf is pretty disappointing as well
As for Moe fiddling with his Voodoo, that didn´t go anywhere either...
Oh well, you can´t win them all, I guess...
And our Plant finally approaching a state one could declare "actually safe" - neato!
Booo on Frink whiffing his Magic PA, though...
...yes - yes, she is...
Not that we care, though - not it´s paying dividends like that^^
Nothing much to say about the middling-ish PA, though
Looks we did quite a bit of work on bringing the older members of our family back together - not bad at all^^
Oooh, neat! Both of them - but especially the Tonics combined with Buying the Burlesque House - could help us move into the Nightlife Sector a lot and I really want that to be one of "our things".
18 Intrigue isn´t half-bad a score for some old retired, semi-senile veteran - I´ll take it^^
One could say he "raged against the dying of the light"
I mean, we can still *Think* about contributing to Syndromes fall some time in the probably-far future and posthumously dedicating it all to Mr. Bob Baker?
I´d be up for it, at least...

Our prison has been updated so it take a 90 Intrigue DC for someone to sneak in or out of the prison plus a 125 for any attack. Gil possible has a atrocious Intrigue status, by very obvious reasons, and even if the guy roll 100 in Martial and have +25 for bonus, still going to end up as a tie since it need to pass a 125 roll to succeed.
So unless he roll stupidly well into a intrigue roll, he's going to stay there a while, plus he still believes that the prison is much more capable than actually is so no doubt it has a debuff in all his attempts to escape that's going to be combined with recent renovations.
Burns was banking a lot into the Birthday Bandit, so he not taking the reward money possible will severe drawback his plans, plus he possible already move from his base now since he's aware already aware that's compromised.
Remember Burns was aware of everything Abe was doing and that including finding his base.
He probably long gone from there at this point.

Fair... I will have another look through the available learning actions on that one, probably going to go with the same as the other plan though

It's actually a DC of 120 for Martial action to escape the prison, gill would need to roll +95 to succed. And you are wrong, nat 100 are automatically critical success (And cause an extra roll to be added to the result). If Gill were to nat 100 that he would escape an probably wreck the prison in its way, whoe knows.
Given that Luz and her friends are alive, she should know everything they know...which isn't everything, but still a lot.
Camilla is a good woman and a secret Scifi Nerd, who has raised Luz alone ever since her husband Manny passed away. She has had her problems doing so (I won't go into Detail, here), but in the end, she is an amazing mom and an incredibly caring Person. As long as Ned is fine with LGBTQ+ People (Luz is Bi and has a Girlfriend), he and Camilla may work out.

Well, Gil is unlikely to escape, in any case.
It does depend upon how Burns performs this turn, but one would nonetheless advocate for resolving the situation as soon as possible, both him and those that he has gathered. The sooner that he is neutralized, the sooner that this dagger poised to slip between the ribs will be removed.

Yeah Camilla is a good parent.
Hell the camp she was going to send her daughter to, she mostly did it out of social preassure and that she was fearful her daughter would go trough the same problems she did as a child.
She isn't as stric as Ned by any means and will probably come to arguing over it.
But if they both share something is that they have big hearts and take their duty of caring about children and their fellow person 100% seriously.
Like most of her daughter friends and temp adoptions come from abusive backgrounds, like seriously, Amity and Hunter weren't happy by any means.
Otherwise she works as a vet, tbh it would be cute that they bond over Flanders future dog.

So we've finally made progress with Homer. Hopefully we can keep it up, and get access to the rest of the family as hero units.
And also love and family, and such.
I want to introduce our grandkids to Webby and Lena! Lisa especially. She needs more friends.
And also love and family, and such.

Talking about Lena, we should prolly try to get more loyalty with her.
The Webby situation could have gone out of control pretty quickly due to well moody teenager.
There is also Belos in general being a danger to her.
IIRC at this point they are looking for a way back into the boiling isles and Belos at the moment is ridding on Hunter without the later knowing it.
You know, wonder how well would liquid nitrogen stop him.
Either that or research a way of leaving nothing but dust of the fucker.
