March 26, 2015: Adventure Bay, California.
"They're the ones who're pulling all the strings." You gleefully sang as men and women fled in terror.
"Now your precious valuables are gone!" Presto cheerfully replied in song as Vexes vexed and Allays attacked.
"Thanks to Presto, (and the puppets too),"
"They're Presto and the Puppeteer!"
"And we'll steal the giant chicken too!" You finished in-sync, grinning like madmen.
"NYAHHAHAHHAH!!!"
Finishing your evil cackling, you scanned the area, the scheming gears of your brain spinning in overtime. You
could deal with the Paw Patrol as they were busy with... well, everything that was happening.
Or...
Turning to the right, you spotted all the many vehicles of the Paw Patrol parked in a neat line across the road. Just sitting there. Perfect for the taking.
...Maybe Iskander wouldn't have to retrieve you after all.
"Quick change of plans, Presto," you whispered as you quickly pointed your wand at the Paw Patrol, too busy with Marshall's out-of-control Pup Pack and the swarming Allays and Vexes to notice you.
"Micare!"
Micare Cast Roll: 1D100+10(Planning)+12(Acolyte)*+5(Presto)+5(Omake Bonus) = 14+12+10+5+5 = 46 | DC: 15. Passed!
*Forgot that Acolyte gave +12 now when rolling, so it's fixed here.
A ball of light flew forward and landed right in the middle of the Paw Patrol before exploding in a cacophonous burst of light.
"Keep the show going for us, our minions!" You quickly yelled, to the affirmative nods of your Vexes and Allays.
As you grabbed your bag and quickly leapt off the stage, you noticed that the pups were even more disarrayed and disoriented than before, with Chase and Skye having the worst of it.
As you sprinted toward the vehicles, Presto chimed in, "Aren't you, like, a really bad driver, partner?"
"I'm not that bad." You protested as you reached Rubble's bulldozer, checking it over quickly before rushing over to Marshall's firetruck.
"I'm fairly certain you said it yourself. Remember, after you took a driving test about ten mo-"
"What driving test?" You asked, gritting your teeth for some reason. What driving test? You don't remember taking a driving test.
"You know, the-Nevermind." Presto sighed as you finished checking over the last of the vehicles, Zuma's hovercraft.
"Besides, the Allays and Vexes will drive the majority of the vehicles."
"I trust their driving capabilities even less than I trust you to drive in a straight line."
"...Fair."
Anyway, all of the vehicles seemed to be in tip-top shape, ripe for you to take. You really should thank the Paw Patrol for being kind enough to let you take them. Maybe even send them a card or something.
Iskander Stealth-Stealing Roll: 1D100+20(Claws)+10(Planning)+10(Chaos)-20(Big Dragon) = 83+20+10+10-20 = Art!Crit! 103. (OF COURSE THIS HAPPENS)
Critical Roll I: 63+20+10+10-20 = 83
A shadow passed over you briefly, but you ignored it. Now, to figure out how to make off with these vehicles while Iskander-
"MUAHHAAHAHAHAHH!!!!"
...Why was Presto cackling all of a sudden?
"AAAIIIEEEE!!"
Turning quickly to face where Presto was looking and the shriek of terror, you saw-"What the
heck?!?!"
Blinking rapidly, you rubbed your eyes twice only to discover that yes, Iskander had indeed made off with the chicken statue already, thereby completing the core objective of your scheme. He had also succeeded in striking even more terror into the people, creating even more chaos.
...Maybe you should buy more cow corpses for him, sprinkle in some pigs and goats as an additonal reward.
Shaking your head of those sidetracking thoughts, you whistled to your Allays and Vexes, signalling for them to follow you. They quickly fluttered toward you as the Allays drop the last of their ill-gotten gains into your bad, though one of the Vexes lingered behind to give Ryder a quick wedgie.
Which, while utterly hilarious to watch, was kind of a bad move, as that had alerted him and the rest of the Paw Patrol to you trying to steal their vehicles. "Hey, get away from threre!"
Shoot.
"Thank you, Adventure Bay, for allowing us to entertain you," you faux-sadly shouted as you threw the bag onto Ryder's ATV before hopping on yourself, "but we sadly do not do encores. As such..."
"Stop, thieves!"
How Many Vehicles: 1D7*
= 2
*I accidentally made the first roll with a 1d6, so that's why it says retry.
To your slight consternation, though, your Allays and Vexes were only able to drive the bulldozer and the recycling truck with two each piloting one. The other vehicles has apparently been too difficult for them to figure out how to drive.
No matter.
Getaway Driving: 1D10+10(Planning)+10(Omake Bonus)-10(Bad Driver) = 31+10+10-10 = 41 (MUAHAHAH)
"...We must leave now! Farew
ELLLL!!!!"
You suddenly screamed as the ATV took off with your minions right behind you, the sudden movement jolting you into a panic as you try desperately tried to keep yourself from crashing. You weren't that successful, but as you swerved and drifted across the sand, you were just thankful you didn't crash into a beach umbrella or something.
"I told you this was a bad idea!" Presto yelped as you hit a bump in the sand, causing you to shriek a little.
"Stop judging me, alright, we're still getting away!" You yell back as you weaved your way back to the road, driving towards the railroad, beyond which the forest and freedom laid.
"I have every right to judge you for your bad decisions!"
"Stop right there!" You heard Ryder sternly yell at you, and you quickly looked back to see the Paw Patrol, sans Chase and Rocky, on the tips of your heels, with Ryder dangling from a harness attached to Skye's helicopter.
Blasted pups!
"Get me closer to Rocky's truck, Skye!" Ryder yells behind you.
"So, the big bad Paw Patrol wants their vehicles back," Presto mocking yells back at them as you veer to the right to avoid an incoming van. "Well, then, let's see how they like what we pull up our sleeves!"
"Presto, I'm driving." You deadpan as you zigzag haphazardly across the street.
"Oh, right. Minions, defend the vehicles!"
Vexes and Allays Defense Roll: 1D100+6(Vexes)+6(Allays)-10(Moving Target) = 78+6+6-10 = 80
Ryder Boarding Roll: 1D100+10(Flying)-10(Chaos)-10(Moving Target-6(Vexes)-6(Allays) = 46+10-10-10-6-6 = 24
The six vexes and allays not driving burst into action, swarming towards Ryder with a storm of fury. Your intrepid minions pushed, shoved, and hassled Ryder, forcing him away from the truck as he flails around like a pinata. Not stopping there, they also swarmed the rest of the pups, forcing them to stall as they flailed and swatted their paws trying to get rid of your minions.
You took this opportunity to floor it, to make your great escape!
Shake Them Off Roll: 1D100+10(Distracted)+6(Vexes)+6(Allays)-10(Bad Driver) = 19+10+6+6-10 = 31
Then you hit a stop sign.
Then you hit two more.
Then you nearly drove off of the road and into a ditch trying to avoid hitting a family of deer.
Needless to say, the Paw Patrol were able to catch up with you again pretty soon.
"They're still on our tail, Puppeteer!" Presto nervously yelled as he looked back at the pups closing in on you.
Exhaling loudly, you steeled yourself before gripping your wand with the hand holding Presto. "Then it's time for drastic measures."
"Yfmmh!" Presto muttersled back enthusiastically as you pointed your wand back, trying your best to aim using the side mirrors of the ATV.
"Micare!"
Cast Micare Roll: 1D100+12(Acolyte)+5(Presto)+5(Omake Bonus)-15(Also Driving) = 62+12+5+5-15 = 69 | DC: 15. Passed!
Keeping Up: 1D100+10(Right Behind You)-10(Chaos)-10(Micare) = 37+10-10-10 = 27 (Yeah, they ain't catching you.)
As you finished waving your wand, a large ball of light shot back toward the pups before exploding. You couldn't have seen what had happened, given that you had quickly turned back to focus in driving, but you heard the surprised yelps of your pursuers, followed by a montage of crashes, bangs, and scrapes.
With a grin, you realized that you'd finally thrown them back, that you were gonna be scot free! You let a mad cackle rip out of your mouth as you drove off into the sunset(not really, it was 2 in the afternoon) as Presto shouted one last remark back at the Paw Patrol before you turned the corner.
One Last Word: 1D100+5(Presto) = 40+5+= 45*
*I forgot that Johanna didn't have Presentation as a trait, so that's why the result's wonky. 
"Hoped you enjoyed our show, because the
Sinister Syndicate will be back for more!"
"..."
"...What?"
"Really? The
Sinister Syndicate?"
"Y-you agreed to use the name as well!"
"As a place-holder, Presto. Besides, you could have used a different name."
"But I like the name
Sinister Syndicate..."
|--------------------------------------------|
Hideout Quality: 1D100+10(Magical Item Search) = 61+10 = 71
After a few hours of driving, making sure to drive in the opposite direction of the hideout before actually going there, you arrived at your hideout exhausted but exuberant at the same time. And the mood was infectious among your minions, who were cutely cheering for you and themselves.
Parking the vehicles under a particularly thick section of forest for the moment, you took off your gloves and voraciously wiped off all the sweat you could.
There was a lot of sweat on your palms.
After that, you got back onto the ATV and signalled to your minions follow you as you drove into your hideout, a discrete cavern in the side of a mountain.
You hadn't even been searching for a hideout when you'd found the cave, but when you had been looking for your bottomless bag, you'd stumbled across it and had decided it would make a very good hideout for your supervillainy. Even if it hadn't been that, it would've made a good temporary hiding spot for your loot and such.
As you drove in, there wasn't much inside the cavern to look at except for some floodlights and a generator you had bought to lighten up the place.
And the golden chicken statue in the middle of it, as well as the massive wyvern curled around said statue, of course.
"You were foolish going off plan in order to do something you were not proficient in," he calmly scolded you as you hopped off of the ATV, grabbing the bottomless bag.
"See?" Presto smugged at you as you rubbed your neck in embarrassment.
"Yeah, that's fair." You meekly reply as you unzip the bottomless bag. "On the plus side, though, I have three new badass vehicle we can either use or sell, as well as a buttload of moneys and valuables."
Money Made: 2D5*1,000 = $8,000
Empyting the contents of the bag next to the statue and quickly counting up the amount of cash and coins you had stolen, it added up to a grand total of $8,000 in hard money, not mentioning the multiple valuables your minions had also pilfered.
You sighed contentedly as you hopped onto the base of the chicken statue and daintily took off your mask, placing it and Presto beside you as you leaned against the statue in tired satisfaction.
"We've accomplished everything we set out to do and more, boys," you purred as Presto, your minions, and even Iskander nodded in agreement. "I believe it's time for a hard-earned rest today."
"I concur." Iskander agreed as he laid his head down to rest. You watched the Allays and Vexes sleepily curl up against each other next to the generator, and soon after you heard Presto begin to snore.
Thankfully, Iskander didn't snore, and soon enough, your eyes closed and you drifted off to sleep.
That night, you dreamed of having a loving family.
|--------------------------------------------|
Rewards:
+750 Notoriety. You've gone from something of a minor phantom menace to the Supervillain of Adventure Bay in just three months of activity. Needless to say, there aren't that many fans of you in Advnture Bay, with some even moving away in light of your debut. +1 Villainous Action.
+750 Popularity. Between your spectacular supervillain debut, the reveal that you were both the master of the Allay and the one behind the many accidents and misfortunes in "Pups Need a Vacation", the fact you have a dragon, and you actually managing to defeat the Paw Patrol, you've exploded in popularity. You're now one of, if not, the favorite character of the Paw Patrol fandom, and you've even got some fans outside of that fandom. Oh, and everyone agrees that Presto and The Puppeteer goes harder than it needed to. +1 Personal Action.
$8,000 in cash, as well as multiple phones, wallets, purses, pieces of jewelry, and other valuables.
One Giant Golden Chicken Statue.
Trait Gained:
Iskander->Stealthy For A Dragon: Given how literally nobody noticed that a dragon had just swooped in and stolen a giant chicken statue until it was too late, you could safely say that Iskander was pretty stealthy. For a dragon, at least. (-10 to Stealth rolls.)
|--------------------------------------------|
A/N:
@Rossum, your omake is now canon, though I will note that vehicles has been changed to valuables in-universe, as well as the last line.
This... got out of hand.
I'm not complaining, though, it was fun to write all this out.
I also want to thank you all for kindly giving all of this amazing advice to me over the past few days. It makes me happy seeing you all trying to help me, and to you I say, thank you oh so dearly. I wouldn't be doing this quest if it wasn't for all of you wonderful people supporting me.
Also, for the sake of prematurely putting worries to ease, you won't be tracked. I just remembered that Ryder can only track Pup Tags and not the pup's vehicles, with the evidence clear in the episode "Pups Save a Friend." So, don't worry about that.
Also also, I plan on doing on Omake Bounty Board soon, so stay tuned for that.
Enjoy the update!
