When you finally get to the museum. It is pretty much deserted except a few guard cars and the curator

The museum is officially closed.

ask to speak with the curator

Once someone with some authority is found Sentinel will inform them of the threat and recommend that the heroes help secure the museum.  He'd also like  to confirm the artifacts are still in place.

and evaluate if any appear to have a touch of magic to them

Ginormica will attempt to find an entrance while shrunk to insect size.

Najewa, back in her mortal form, lands atop the roof and seeks entry, possibly via air ducts.

In reply to Najewa (msg # 5):

Ginormica and Najawe sneak in.  No problem.   The curator talks to Wraith and Sentinel   How may I help you.   The museum is closed

If Harry opened a door or someone else did to talk to the heroes Ginormica will slip through the door at insect size to have a look see.

In reply to Harry Radal (msg # 6):
"there was an attempt to steal artifacts from here earlier"
"I was wondering what these artifacts are preported to be magical to what effect?"

In reply to Wraith (msg # 8):

The man scoffs.    i have been at this facility for years.   Not once had anyone tried to steal any artifacts.   Nor have I noticed any so called magic.   You obviously have the wrong museum.   Good day . 

And he begins to turn around.

Did I get inside?

"Oh of course," Sentinel steps forward, placing a foot against the door to prevent its closure, "but we should warn you that earlier today the library with ol' Pickman's name on it was attacked by a group of superpowered thugs. Keenly interested in this book here," he opens to the section where the pages were torn out and hands  "American Indian Legends and Artifacts" to Harry.

"Those pages they took, now what do you think was on them?  Have a look at the index and you'll see they refer to some of the artifacts here in your museum. Now, I'm not a betting man, but if I were I'd lay a good pound note on them showing up here to get those items soon.  And considering the amount of damage they caused at the library, you can bet they'll do the same to anything and anyone here who gets in their way."

"One of 'em a mage, looks like he's got real magic.  One's no longer Human, kind of like a gorilla and wicked strong.  The other's on fire, I mean literally on fire, and tossing it about like he wants the world to burn.  Heaven help us if they've added another to their group by now."

Hoping he's made his case, but just to be sure, the mystic finishes with, "You can contact the library, confirm what I've told you.  You can also confirm we managed to drive them off and capture some of their minions.  Then you need to decide if you really want to face these chaps with just your security staff or if you might need a little bit of help."

"We'll wait."

He smiles to the manager

In reply to Sentinel (msg # 11):

Ginormica makes it inside unseen

The curators eyes widen.    pick man you say?    he looks around.     Not many know this, but the museum has a complete collection of his work.   Even the unpublished manuscripts.   The ape and fiery person are demons according to Pickman.   Fascinating read.   The man was obsessed.  Come in.   But you must be accompanied by myself or a guard. 

Najewa sneaks in, lowering herself to the ground. As she starts stalking through the museum in search of the Native American section, she pauses as her supernatural senses take in the sounds and sights all around her. She even notices the slight displacement of air as Ginormica moves.


08:13, Today: Najewa rolled 3 (with 0 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Perception 16-. Made it by 13!!

08:12, Today: Najewa rolled 12 (with 4 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Stealth 13-.

Ginormica makes her way to the Native American section to see what might be amok if anything. She's not terribly familiar with Native American art or history as such the most she can do really is see if anything is disturbed or if anyone else is in the museum near it.

2:07, Today: Ginormica rolled 13 (with 4 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  Perception, 14-.

In reply to Harry Radal (msg # 12):

Wraith will follow them inside

In reply to Wraith (msg # 15):

Most of the things are Native American.  Najawea will approach the case and feel a sense of foreboding.   Its a scythe.   It feels evil.

Sentinel and Wraith make a perceptions roll.

"So you're familiar with his work?" Sentinel takes up the rear as he and Wraith follow Radal inside, "What can you tell us of these demons?  We watches this mage transform a gang member into one of them, is there any chance the entity can be exorcised?  Any clues as to their goal?"

18:09, Today: Sentinel rolled 11 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system.  PER roll.

In reply to Harry Radal (msg # 16):

Najewa reads the card accompanying the scythe. She tries to recall any Indian evil spirits that used such an implement.

In reply to Sentinel (msg # 17):

  According to one of his works of fiction,  a demon used an item to summon his fellow demons.  Otherwise, he can only do one at a time.   It may have been a weapon (aka scythe)  He would be very powerful. In that book is a summoning spell.  Perhaps you can use it to send him back. I will have to look for it.   


Wraith sees a demon outside.

Najewa,  the scythe has been used a number of times in the past and even Earth master says he'd like to get a hold of it

In reply to Harry Radal (msg # 20):

Najewa also has heard of a place called Snake island,  but doesn't know where it is
