FATHER QUEST - A Cartoon Network: Villains Victorious CK2-Style Quest Cross Over

The Dice fell how they did. It's our job to pick though the rolls and see what we can learn from it.
 
Hm, maybe have Skips serve as XXXL's hands while they repair the Ice Cream Factory? It's too bad XXXL can't boost Stewardship as long as it's ice-cream related, but he can keep an eye on Skips and Skips might learn a few things about ice cream from the master.
 
Overall, this was a solid tunr; the two national failures suck but at least one of the was a bare fail so that should be a freebie next time

I'm a little worried about the magical/bio-engineering backup that the KND has been receiving

Not sure what to do with Sector V tree though... especially since int SIW's backyard
 
I for one vote we study it in detail. The thing is bigger on the inside, and manages to be completely rebuilt after destruction in spite of being a literal tree. And its Bigger On The Inside, as seen in Operation F.L.U.S.H.

Plus, it was where the Book got hidden iirc. There has to be other stuff.
 
Speaking of which, we now finally have time to study that fucking book!

We better let him do SOMETHING ice cream related. Dude ain't doing great right now.

Hmm. Is this a standard reaction to that magic, or is Father possessing hidden skill at magic he doesn't express yet?
What's this about not express? We...We literally shoot fire from our hands, at an intensity tied to our emotional state. I don't know what that is, but it sure as hell ain't normal, i'll tell ya that.

"That's just standard superpower stuff ain't it? Get mad, or determined and toss around fire, or lasers, or shadows. Heck, there's whole species just blasting out stuff without it being 'magic'."

True, but we got it from our Father, who was less "superhuman" and more "all-powerful demonic entity who shapes reality to his whims like if Aku was a crotchety old man". There's...Something weird going on with us, and it's probably at least a little magic.

By the way, good to see our self-improvement is working out. Maybe a Learning boost next? And, after that, a shift back to our core competencies IE Martial and Intrigue, see if we can buff those up a bit. We are rather cunning, but we could quite a bit better, and, as great as our Martial alreadly is, a good training montage might help against little miss Cheeto dust.

-[x] National Actions
--[x] ⚔️Cut Down KND Treehouses (Izzy)
DC VARIABLE
1d100 = [95] + 37 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 25 + 2 = 179
VS
1d100 = [97] + 20 + 19 + 5 = 141
SUCCESS
Hmmm... the KND's leader has 20 Martial. That is interesting; since it would imply a 2 to 3 star Martial Score, alongside a Max Loyalty Hero

--[x] 🤝 Invite Candy Stock Market Investors (Hank)
DC 80 (CF 3% CS 7%)
BARE FAILURE
1d100 = [20] + 19 + 23 + 5 - 5 + 4 = 71
Bare fail, but next turn we can likely Autopass with Father+Hank or Daphne+Skips. The fact we unlocked a second action helps at least.

--[x] Refurbish Ice Cream Factories (Skips)
DC 90 (CF 4% CS 6%)
FAILURE
1d100 = [29] + 19 + 15 + 10 + 2 = 75
OOF! While the Episodes Skips had been dealing with are bad, this means next turn we either spend a fund and another heroes personal action to help XXXL, or we are stuck delaying POW another turn.

--[x] 🎭 Investigate the "Guild" (Mr. Black & Mr. White)
DC 65 (CF 1% CS 9%)
SUCCESS
1d100 = [79] + 27 + 24 + 4 = 134
Nice, I want to work out a deal with them so this is good.

--[x] Un-Hypnotise Ice Cream Men (Hex)
DC 60 (CF 1% CS 9%)
CRITICAL SUCCESS
1d100 = [93] + [70} + 15 + 28 + 11 = 217
MHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Mandark stonewalled them the second he figured out they worked for Father, and Eddy's secretary only wanted to talk about gravy. So Black & White did what any responsible intelligence agent would do and got their numbers from the NSA monitoring list. They managed to chat with both of them for a few minutes before work pulled them away, but nothing more than a few opening pleasantries. The girls say their brothers are doing alright, though they used the plural which is weird. They're amenable to meeting up for lunch if B&W ever make it out to the West coast. Kind of funny though. Susan's supposed to be working for Mandark in Genius Grove, but her new phone number has a Vancouver area code.

What the hell is Mandark up to? And how is he getting so many geniuses to work for him? Add in this, and I've got a bad feeling about him.

It's what he does in "canon" CNVV iirc, sets up a massive think tank of all the young geniuses he can get to go (and are considered worth his time). It is a potentially worrisome Learning Tank but it's Occult and Intrigue should be both be eh so it can probably be targeted there.

Thank you for the update @HellaCooltricks!

--[x] ⚔️Cut Down KND Treehouses (Izzy)
Wow, we actually captured the Sector V Treehouse!

I say we cut it down and use the wood to make something awesome!

But on the other hand, Sector V will not like this at all.
--[x] 🤝 Invite Candy Stock Market Investors (Hank)
--[x] Refurbish Ice Cream Factories (Skips)
Shame about these two actions. Hopefully, we can get them done in the next turn. I am a bit worried about Skips.
--[x] 🎭 Investigate the "Guild" (Mr. Black & Mr. White)
The current villian after us is fine, but I'm intrested to see what else is on offer.
--[x] 📚 Hard Light Scaffolding (Professor XXXL)
Every little bit helps.
--[x] Un-Hypnotise Ice Cream Men (Hex)
Go Hex!
Result: Chad Dickson added to Check Up On Old Allies Diplomacy action. Enhance Teen Appeal Diplomacy action unlocked.
Chad Dickson could be a useful hero unit but who I'm really intrested in is Cree Lincoln. I'd love to see her fight against Numbuh 5.
 
I don't think I'll advocate for keeping the tree house honestly. Great symbol, terrible security risk. Sector V absolutely knows that tree better than we ever could and could infiltrate or outright attack us through it.

I think this might be one of the cases where it's better to let symbols of the past burn.

I think we should read the Book of KND and check on it's old hiding place. There's got to be some stuff there.
 
We should turn the tree into lumber, and then use that lumber to build the drabbest, most functional office buildings imaginable. Keeping it as a trophy is tempting, but what better way to show our victory over the KND than by turning their symbol of resistance into a perfectly functional example of adulthood?

Edit: I was thinking the treehouse was much smaller than it actually was. This is thinking too small, I need to reconsider things.
