Shadow King Returns

Okay. This plot, in one form or another has been in the talks in the background for a while. It deals with the return of the Shadow King and him trying to take over the physical realm.

In the wake of the Kingpin stuff and Maria’s death, Forge is thinking about his past and getting back to his roots. He was once training to become a Cheyenne medicine man. He feels that he has lost his way and needs to center himself. So he takes a mini-vaycay to his hometown in Montana and meets with his old mentor. They do some dream quest kind of thing and Forge opens up his mind. Unfortunately, it opens his mind up to the Shadow King and he is possessed. The SK has been feeding him doubts for a long time and was part of the reason the White King was so involved with the Eye of Horus. The SK wants to enter the physical world. SK is going to use Forge’s knowledge of the Eye of Horus to make a device to let him break through and possess the world.

A SK possess Forge tells the HFC not to worry about him but his stay is going to be a little longer. He works on the machine. Through a combination of weird news reports from Montana and having lost communication with Forge, the HFC gets worried. They trek over to Montana to investigate when they begin to worry.

They realize that the whole town is possessed and working in a hive-mind mentality to build a large machine for the SK. Not only does the machine allow SK to break through but it allows non-psychics to enter the Astral Plane. This allows the HFC to battle the Shadow King, because they only have Betsy who can enter the Astral Plane.

The Shadow King is sealed away or defeated in a nod to the comics through the powers of Betsy and the attacks on the Astral Plane by the HFC. Forge realizes that the Eye of Horus knowledge is too dangerous for anyone to have and has to make a hard decision.

I’d like people’s input because I’m sure I’ve missed some things and maybe everything doesn’t make sense.

How would this work in with the WwX story since we are about to launch into that?

Okay here is the outline for the upcoming thread to climax the Shadow King stuff. Therad to come soon.



Okay the time has come around to get the Shadow King v. Hellfire Club plot moving. Somewhere off panel Betsy and Max have put the pieces together and realized there is badness going on in Montana and they are going in to handle it before it becomes too late to make a difference.

They arrive by plane in the town of Lame Deer, Montana. The Shadow King has used Forge’s power to build himself a bevy of machines. These machines have allowed him to enslave the population of the town as well as nullify telepathy and Max’s teleportation. So there will be a couple of different tasks to be completed.

Get to the town and fight through some mind controlled townsfolk with shotguns. As well as the mechanized armaments that have been constructed.
Destroy the equipment to allow for the use of telepathy and teleportation.
Get to the gymnasium basement to free Forge from the machine and destroy it before Shadow King can escape and enslave the planet.
Go into the astral plane to fight Amahl Farouk.

The thread has begun.

The Siege of Lame Deer



Also, to try and get things organized lets try and get a sign up for two separate teams. One is going to destroy the anti-TP/teleporation device in the hardware store and one is going to destroy the mind control device in the gym.



Hardware Store:



Gym:
Betsy (who also volunteered to fly the plane)

Cordelia is up for assisting in saving Forge. Anything to help out.

She can go to either group that she is needed in :)

Darkforce Manipulation, Teleportation
Teams:
Gym:
Betsy
Cordelia (The Shadow King's machine dampens all telepathy except for SK's but that shouldn't effect Cordy's empath powers. Possibly she can project enough fear to loosen SK's hold on the town's people guarding the gym and have them run away in fright or at least, be more difficult for him to control)


Hardware store:
Shatterstar


Shroud could go in either group, but I'll put him the Hardware store group so that when the machine is down, he can open a portal to the gym and they can join the other group for the finale.



If Brody can join, I suggest Steed go in the Hardware group, she's immune to telepathy, so at least one of the team will definitely make it to the machine and take it down.

If Warren can join, I suggest he go to the gym. Perhaps he can fly Betsy and Cordy to it and avoid a lot of the guards. (In deference to Forge probably frowning at his tribe being killed by his own team.)

Fallout, probably not joining this plot, Griffin is having computer problems.

Longshot, not coming.

Tarot, Emily is still ill and probably won't be playing in this plot.
