Krakatoa
[ ] Attack the First Municiberg Bank
DC 150
67+54+50=171
Decent Success

The First Municiberg Bank, infamous for being the location from which Sansweet threw himself and ushered in the fall of the Golden Age, took heavy damage from an extremely destructive villain making her debut. Calling herself 'Krakatoa', the girl cheerfully urged patrons out of the building before setting it ablaze with some sort of incredibly destructive heat-based technique. The attack is estimated to have cost millions in damages and some inspectors are concerned the building may have to be condemned, though strangely enough, nothing was stolen. Krakatoa herself escaped unhindered after melting a crater in the street to prevent pursuit.
Here's the one that gets me. No desire to steal. No desire to kill. Measured and careful about the property destruction. What's she destroying?
Possibility: part of the Sansweet history that's come under fire again. Could be related. Interesting.

Any chance we could hire her? Put her on an ops team and she's ready if things have to get hot in a hurry.
 
Definitely going to need to take an actions speak louder than words approach to the SRA after that. Coming out this late with platitudes would be a poor look, but something like the Insuricare policy reversal would be a more substantive point in our favor.
You think we should just skip proclaiming support, and just go straight for another action which could improve the situation concerning capes?
 
Inater idea:
Good -inator: The Swole-Inator! After your uncomfortable boot camp with Genghis Khan, you've come up with a machine to do the hard work for you! It grants +1d5+1 martial to all of Doof's heroes, as well as Doof himself, as they receive a general boost to their fitness and health! Since it doesn't come with the good habits necessary to maintain good health and fitness, they will disappear after two turns unless you take a training action to help cement the swoleness.

Bad -inator: Swole-Inator Overload! Granted, it's a bit sensitive - too much energy, and it might make you too swole. -1d6 Martial for two turns as Doof's heroes are uncomfortably muscle-bound, with a minimum cap of 1 Martial as your ability to move is compromised by your undue swoleness!

No, that was a random event, not a personal action.

I'm aware. I get that when it comes to random events, the higher they are, the better they are for us, or at least that's the observed trend. I'm just saying, yeah it doesn't really help us, but having two of the greatest toons working together again, making new public material, is just great. Especially how Mickey and Donald have their own MIA storyline going on, it just feels like it really means something for their greatest 'rivals' to be doing something too, even if it's not in the foreground of the quest. It's a really good element that gives a bit more depth to the world. Not to mention what it would mean for the people of the world to see two of the greatest entertainers re-entering the public eye to such a positive reception.
 
So from the discord that thing for sell the " SHV 20905 " is the lazor that lets one go to the digital world. We must get it so others will not go into our systems.
 
While the humiliation of the police might give Doom reason to be happy that this will grant him further ammunition in both his anti-Toon and pro-Super crusades, it also comes as a terrible blow to his own finances and prestige, and has raised serious questions about the competency of the Toon Doom placed in charge of stopping crime, considering the sheer degree to which the villain appears to have just waltzed into the building.
What's betting this is a "right hand reaches into the pocket and grudgingly hands money to left hand, left hand puts money into other pocket, and the shyster walks away laughing" scam designed to set poor Bonkers (a spiritual successor to Roger Rabbit, as a Toon that worked with a detective) up to fall? Some kind of false-flag black op done by Doom himself or using a small-time boxed crook as a patsy?

Yep. The SRA doesn't need more lobbyists railing against it, and joining in this late in the game is just playing into Doom's hands, giving him cause to call us a spineless cretin following the crowd. I'd rather lean into the Diseased Pharmacist angle, completely ignore the actual diplomatic side of things, and then take other actions that make accusations that we're anti-cape ring hollow - like the Insuricare thing.

I'm admittedly new to this quest, but I'm fairly certain permanent boosts to stats are a bit too OP, at least compared to the Bad -inator you came up with. Either they should both deal in permanent stats, or they should both deal in temporary stats.
 
Okay yeah, the Kings are pushing against the SRA with only Khan quietly pushing against it and Gloomgold Critfailing, we need to get on the bandwagon and now. Diplo Repel the SRA while Talking to Shego and use a Sewardship Action to reverse Insurcare's policies to be Super Friendly. We need to ride this wave before it swamps us under a PR disaster.
Exactly. Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Never mind! You and several other prominent individuals around the country have received an email from one 'Captain Laser' offering to sell you an 'entirely unique' design that he recovered from ENCOM headquarters. Called the 'SHV 20905', he promises that you will find its like nowhere else, and a copy of the plans can be yours for the low low price of ten million dollars wired straight to a Swiss bank account! This is peanuts compared to what your company makes in a year, so… do you want to take him up on his offer? (A vote will be included in a later interlude.)
WE NEED TO BUY THIS. I'll bet you anything this laser is our ticket into the cyberverse and the conflicts with King Candy and the MCP. If we want in on this front, we will require this laser. NO EXCEPTIONS

And when he points out that while we did some Pro Super things but we never actually moved against the Bill itself what are you going to do? Don't half ass global wide diplomacy. Either support for or against it. This half measure shit won't cut it.

I think one of the early inators actually did give a permanent boost, though it was a rather small one compared to what that inator idea is offering.
The Flash-Trainer-Inator! Doof gets +1 free martial!
 
And when he points out that while we did some Pro Super things but we never actually moved against the Bill itself what are you going to do? Don't half ass global wide diplomacy. Either support for or against it. This half measure shit won't cut it.
Just say that we were confidant that it would get repealed? We were warned against choosing sides before the lines were drawn in the sand. For better or for worse, that has happened already.
 
I think that was meant to imply that it was, in fact, the weaker, lesser known villain that did it, and Doom just spun it as Quackerjack to lose less face.
If that were true, then a critical success would have caused his spin to fail and make him look even worse. I think this is the weaker villain disguised as Quackerjack, and the critical success allowed their disguise to be that much more effective.
 
So, now that we know what the other king think of the sra, what do we do about it now?
I see either two options:
Door 1: We support the SRA's repeal, either through words, alliances, and/or actions, and gain an increased number of martial supers coming for employment, but lose Khan's fusion breakthroughs and sour diplomatic relations with Glomgold (assuming his crit fail isn't like Syndrome's and Scrooge doesn't pull off a miracle and usurp him)
Door 2: We support the SRA, either through words, alliances, and/or actions, get Khan's fusion breakthroughs and our relations with Glomgold may get better (assuming his crit fail isn't like Syndrome's and Scrooge doesn't pull off a miracle and usurp him), but lose any positive relationship we may have had with Shego, Xanatos, and all the other supporters of the repeal

I don't know about you guys, but Door 1 seems very appealing to me
 
So, now that we know what the other king think of the sra, what do we do about it now?
The Insuricare move we've been talking about. "Less talk, more action."

Xanatos isn't sitting and waiting to see what other plays are being made before he makes his. He's picked a side; he picks winning sides. We move on the Insuricare thing, saying that we trust our colleagues to get the job done on the government side of things, but we have a chance to start making real change.

Okay sure, but how does this help us on the material side?

Encom, for all intents and purposes, has a quality product that people are willing to buy. How do we improve our product, so Encom's quality doesn't destroy us?

And when he points out that while we did some Pro Super things but we never actually moved against the Bill itself what are you going to do? Don't half ass global wide diplomacy. Either support for or against it. This half measure shit won't cut it.
I mean, this really just looks like a lose situation. It seemed like it would take a turn for support involving the bill before any of the Kings made a decision. Unfortunately, it seems like mostly everyone jumped in on this discussion, so now Doof is late to the party.
 
Without any fanfare, David Xanatos has announced the creation of the Fox Xanatos Memorial Foundation on the third anniversary of his wife's passing.
Wait a minute, Fox is dead? When did that happen because I certainty don't remember any mention of it.
I thought Xanatos won?.... or maybe Xanatos wasn't the one whom won but Oberon.
That wouldn't work. Oberon intended to take Alex to Avalon while Titania was gaming things to force Fox's power to the surface while getting Puck to be sentenced to be Alex's bodyguard and teacher.
 
Okay, don't hate me because I have never seen Gargoyles, but... who's Fox?

EDIT: I mean, I know she's Xanatos' wife, but why is everyone so caught off guard by her being dead?
