Gen Con Day 2

  The second day of Gen Con opened with the Luchador event, Escape from the House of a Thousand Masks. In this game, I played lady Luchador Mother Mercy. I, along with King Phoenix, Red Scorpion, and the three Eviscerators, awoke to find ourselves in some sort of storage room. How we got there was unknown to us. Suddenly, agents of the Umbral Accord, a terrorist organization, appeared and attacked us. As we were fighting them, legendary Luchador the Masked Terror, busted in on the scene. He said that we wouldn't be able to save her and then attacked the group. After a brief battle, the lead Umbral Accord agent, having been pounded upon pretty badly, set off a ninja smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared, our adversaries were gone.

  As we continued our investigation, we discovered that we were in the House of a Thousand Masks, the legendary home of the Masked Terror. We had quite a number of fights as we searched the house. First there was the headless motorcycle rider. I dropped kicked him off of his cycle and the Eviscerators took him out. Then some weird, heavyset serial killer type wielding a sledgehammer showed up. He was a difficult opponent but we won nonetheless. Next came a group of circus performers consisting of an aerialist, strong woman, fire breather, knife thrower and ringmaster.

  To make a long story short, the entire adventure took place inside the mind of Claire Voyant, the Masked Terror's valet and wife. It turned out that her son had become an agent of the Umbral Accord and she went into a coma because she couldn't deal with it. The luchadors' minds were linked to hers in order to bring her out of the coma.

  The last event of the day was the Werewolf scenario. I played a Bone Gnawer named Pepsi. Our pack had to investigate an Indianapolis based pharmaceutical company. It turned out that a hive of Black Spiral Dancers were trying to create some sort of drug there.
