Me too why suggested Bunker Up, Storm In, and hopefully get some allies, basically same plan but reaching out to a King instead. But doesn't look like anyone's going for it.

Just to note, removed Okuyasu Personal. Nearly forgot that doing his action uses all Personal actions.
The votes are in and here are your results. Now it's time to see how the Quest will fare with your decision-making.

Man, oh man. None of our actions costed a lot to do but...dice can be a bitch sometimes.
Oh yeah. Can we get an action to investigate the supernatural properties of peanut butter?
After this Turn, yeah.
What do you mean that peanut butter has supernatural properties?
Check the second turn 2 rival report. Either peanut butter is magic or Ricky Spanish trolled the nation.
I mean time squad did teach us the many uses of peanut. That rival report with ricky was random. But ricky spanish is VERY random so lol
The peanut stuff as far as i know.
Pd: i couldn't find other link, so if you dont want to see something cursed. Don't look before the 14:14 time

How fucked - or great - we are?
We didn't definitely get the chop shop action done or getting the band back together, but we probably did the lower DC for next time.

The Adventures of Lotton Part 4: Thin Deals
LAST TIME ON THE ADVENTURES OF LOTTON THE WIZARD!
You closed your eyes and considered the logical choices Balalika would have told you to do.
Two-Face, Was crazy...and unstable, if someone needed to flip a coin to make a decision it was wise to not make that bet.
The Penguin was a businessman first and foremost, a gangster with the making of a Russian Oligarch.
Thorne was a gangster of the Italian school, and like all that could be manipulated by Hotel Moscow's strength.
So for now, you'd follow that logic.
--------------------------------------
Area Trait: "Arkham Lockdown!": Lotton has just had his mission revealed to the entirety of Arkham City they now really want what he has in exchange for their freedom and a hefty payday. (-10 to all stealth roll while in Arkham City, +10 to all encounter Rolls.)
Captain Boomerang gives a +5 to all rolls not related to martial, and a +15 to all combat rolls for
this turn.

Encounters?: D100 + 10 => 41
(Thug encounter)
You nodded as you hit the thug in the face. "So...given that we're stuck together..."
Boomer nodded as he shattered a man's face with the blunt end of the boomerang. "If you are thinking that this changes anything, its not."
"Well, I'm just saying theirs more to your plan then just greed and escape." You said. "Besides, what else you thinking?"
Boomer nodded. "I'd say, get a beer on some nice beach, pick up something cute for a bit, then start to rebuild my reputation as a man that can get shit done."
"I know..." You said. "I can understand the appeal."
Martial Roll: Deal with them
DC:40
Rolled: D100 + 14 => 100+15=115 vs D100 => 19+10=29
Encounter won.
"Where do these assholes keep coming from?" You said.
"Well, you have something they want, and who's corpse will pay for their freedom?" He said. "So of course their coming out of the woodwork."
Hmm, this place doesn't look as run-down…and there's good lighting.
A Nightclub, not as grand as the ones you knew but it was a serviceable front to any operation.
This was the place.
Diplomacy Check: Meeting Mr. Thorne
DC:60/80/100
Rolled: D100 + 11 => 70+5=75
Rupert Thorne was a Mobster, a made man, a classic mafioso type you've seen in real life, parodied and in all its terrifying glory. Large, urbane and classically dressed, though you could see the muck on his shoes proving that even in here, he had to pull his weight inside.
"Mr. Thorne." You said calmly taking the briefcase closer to your chest and putting your pistol away. It was strange being so close to the end of your goal, maybe you'd make it after all.
He also had dirt under his fingernails, and on parts of his hands…he was likely in some work recently.
You held out your hand and shook it, Boomer doing the same. "Something come up sir, your strong grip has the aroma of…agriculture. I didn't take you for a man of the land."
He gave a chuckle as Boomer looked at the bar. "By all means."
Boomer nodded and went to get a drink, he needed one after carrying you.
"I used to consider botany and agricultural pursuits an escape from the drudgery of modern living and that skill and the unreliability of our Warden's commissary service, have made it a necessity." He said. "Though I have a green thumb, I'm not like Poison Ivy. If you want anything green and she's in a good mood, go to her."
You nodded. "About my price and what offered-"
"Let's actually see it first." He said.
"I've seen it its still there?" You said.
"But have you actually looked at the cases contents in full." He said.
You nodded and then pulled out the key and opened the case.
"The book's still here." The slight glow and unnerving feeling about it creeped you out.
Lotton Occult Check: Into the Eyes of Madness.
Rolled: D100 + 10 => 81
(No Effect…for now)
"Good now we can discuss the price and get this situation sorted properly." He said.
"Take a load off. " He said. "Rest and let me deal with it."
Lotton Intrigue Check: Thorne's thorns?
DC: 80/90/100/120/??
Rolled: D100 + 9 => 92 Crit: D100 => 54
Total: 166
You wanted to…so badly to just rest yet being vigilant and calm; you watched him, and not the girls that were here to distract you.
They were good at it. But you wanted to focus…and you did.
"So I got the case…how do you want me to deal with him." He said in a hushed whisper. Almost unhearable…almost.
"Ice him…he's long outlived his purpose and well my new friends will long be able to replace him with someone better."
Oh by god…
THIS…is what I get for trusting Balalika.
You knew she was hoping to make room for new mercenaries but like this? This was wasteful if not for the chaos factor, she'd be wasting good mercs.
Lotton Diplomacy Check: "Don't try it."
DC:??? (60)
Rolled: D100 + 11 => 59
Failure! Thorne has +5 to the encounters
Thorne walked back in and sat down. "Sorry about that, I've smoothed things over. "
"You know killing the messenger after a job is poor form is it not?" You said.
"Its distasteful, but it was part of the agreement." He said. "I don't take pleasure in this understand that, you've been through hell to get here."
"Then why?" You coldly stated. "Its against your code, against your beliefs…WHY!"
That got Boomer's attention from the bar, he damn well knew this was a double cross.
He was preparing accordingly.
Diplomacy Challenge: WHY!
DC:???
Rolled: D100 + 11 => 109+5=114
Vs
Thorne: D100 + 5 => 47
"Because this is bigger than you, bigger than me, hell bigger than all of us!" He said standing.
"Mr. Chang and Balalika, have a plan, something that you dumb grunt can't get, crime is changing, the WORLD IS changing and well, I'm considered an asset to their new Global Criminal Empire, they are helping to build…"
"Uncle Sam's gone, and there's a power vacuum that needs filling. And I don't intend to go down with this sinking ship."
Stewardship Check: "A Bigger Score then You Know?"
DC:???
Rolled: D100 + 11 => 27
"You know they'll just kill you when there finished using you. You know that right." You said calmly.
"I'll take my chances…I've always done that with unknowns." He said pulling out a pistol. "For what it's worth, you would have gone far in my organization."
Boomer then tackled you to the floor. "INCOMING!"
Interruption?: d100 => 93
By Who? (Roll 3 d40s): D40 => 33 (TO.Morrow), D40 => 14(Devastation), D40 => 39 (Volcana)
Morrow, Volcana and Devistation rammed through the south wall, debris and rubble coating the once clean interior.
"THORNE HAND HIM OVER" Morrow said.
"WE'RE HERE FOR IT NOW HAND HIM OVER!" Volcana shouted, the heat rising with each syllable.
"Well don't just stand there boy's light them up." Thorne shouted. Shooting at the Trio of Supervillains that crashed his club.
Intrigue Roll: Slip away
DC:70 -30(Sudden Attack!)=40
Rolled: D100 + 9 => 55+5=60
"Well what happened?" Boomer said dragging you to the back room, seeing their opening. "Dear god, did you piss him off with something fierce?"
"He was only ever in it for himself…my payment for getting this to him was a quick death, would have probably killed you too."
"CRIKEY! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!" He shouted. "Besides the obvious!"
"You're a loose end…like me, funny how the world works now." You said.
----------------
TYGER Mobilization?: d100 => 3
Dispatch this is Outlaw One, we are currently Negative for redeployment we need an hour.
"Dispatch Copies all, WHY!"
"Dispatch I have a giant plant matter in the engine trying to eat the spark plugs, Ivy did a number on us…just give us a bit we need time."
-----------------------------------
Encounter?: D100 => 97+10=107

"THERE YOU ARE" The Pink man thing said.
"I am not dealing with you today!" Boomerang said throwing a weapon at him staggering him.

Rolled: D100 + 1 => 70+5=75

And then you doubled back and then climbed onto the overpass above the area and started walking.
He'd think you were in the fight, hoping chaos would protect you.

"Alright mate, you've pulled me along enough, I've helped, I've been betrayed and well that…and you've ran me ragged and to the bone and I still don't know your real damn name! You either tell me or I take your hand and the case and be done with you." He said firmly.
"I've reached the end of my patience with you." He finished.
You sat down and felt oh so tired…you want to just curl up and run as far away as you could from everything.
But where has that gotten me at the end of the day…I'm no closer to finding myself then I was years ago.
Neither living nor dead.
"My Name is Samual-
--------------------------------
(POV Shift Hugo Strange)
Samuel Lutton, Aged 24, was Born August 5th, 1971, in New York; Lutton was a ranger in the United States Army, specializing in ordinance and Ordinance Disposal. Served in Panama and Desert Storm with distinction and ability before he seemingly retired and then dropped off the face of the Earth.
"And you thought he was dead Madame Waller?" You asked taking a sip of your drink as she sighed on the other end of the computer.
I didn't think anything of it, he had no notable alias or known criminal record to speak of, he just burned out and went to the edge of the civilized world…probably out of boredom or something darker.
"And is he a threat to the operation?" You asked.
He's a factor whose insertion to the Arkham project has caused unfettered chaos, and his removal would at least grant us a moment of stability…to regain control of the situation.
"Do you think he could be an asset?" You considered.
He's in the maybe pile…but at the very least he's done nothing to warrant becoming Task Force X yet.
"He would make an interesting case study." You said.
------------------------------------
(POV Shift-Sam)
"I left home because maybe a part of me wanted to see it would go, I'd won at life, kept by nightmares, and well I was really in with the "How far can I get at being a hero." You said.
"Really, you a hero?" He said.
"Saved two women who could kill me, and I haven't died, so…I at least did something." You said. "More than alot of people here can say Gotham it chews you up."
"Heh, that is true. So, Sam, what are you going to do about any of this, your clock is still ticking. And well I can't just hide now, they're gunning for us both." He said "And well if there ever was a way to die…it would be at the bottom of my list."
You almost laughed. "For a minute there I thought you were gonna take it and run."
"There are other buyers that your boss didn't want to have it, and you've still got that bomb to deal with." He said.
"So…you good at surgery?" You asked.
"No, but I'd think that the Church has a doctor who does, but lets get going. Once we're done with that? Well, we have all tomorrow to think about." He said.
Reward: Samuel "Lotton the Wizard" Lutton gains +2 Diplomacy, +1 intrigue to his stats.
Rupert Thorne is currently delayed by chaos -5 to all search rolls, and +5 to all stealth rolls as everyone thinks you are in his territory.
4 of 7 Successes
Boomerang will call in a favor soon, better get yourself sorted.
Waller and Strange are getting annoyed at this chaos…
AN: Ahh the Next Part in Lotton's journey through Arkham City. Where he gets double-crossed, and learns the greatest power "RUN AWAY!"
And the most important bit of growth he could ever do for a man in his situation make a friend and reclaim his true name.
Enjoy the chaos.

@OogahBoogah everything alright?
Well, I mean it is a quest and would give us a good test run as what to expect. But I would ask what the reward here is? stabilizing another kingdom? boosting the resistance against another King? do we get Mary or Susan test as a learning focused hero? Both sisters are genius's so it might be worth it.
Hmmm, while good we already have 5 out of the 6 park crew slots filled out so I think we can passed on this since it takes about two actions of the character so-
.... hmmmm. On one hand, it makes sense to be cautious since we need to take into account the personailty and goals of the hero we recruit. On the other, they could just be doing their own thing that can help us as a free action since they do whatever in their free time.
