INVASION FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH - Part I: "the Avengers Cometh"
October 19, 2007.
GM: KEVIN

ISSUE RECAP:

Game opening, "the London Tower" (aka Stilt-Man!) fell as he made petty theft on the clockface of Big Ben. The Ripper toppled him and though the audience didn't see the deed, the man's brains were opened up and fed on by this Ripper.

Gathered together by the Queen - the Wasp, Marshall Rodgers, and the Argonaut read the letter from the Queen and their induction as the first of the new Avengers. Sir Nicholas Fury arranged them on the British Rail headed toward the Welsh country-side. It seems the Isle of Wight has a problem...

Along the train toward the Isle Gentlemen and Ladies watch as the Men of Renown get to know one another. And suddenly the train is rocked!

Decerning that the train is in danger of careening over the edge of a large cliff face as the train tressle is out, Fury bid the Avengers into action.

After much well planned work, there are little injuries and no casualties - save the train engine and the first three cars. The most odd of the events is the thwarting and driving away of strange "Moleoid" beasts... As the team assembles to rush on to the Isle of Wight, Fury bellows the immediate need on the coast.

Arriving at the ferry docks on England's side of the 3 mile channel, the heroes learn that the Empire Guardsmen have faced some beasts coming out of the massive hole that has destroyed the Osbourne House. As men and women that escaped the creatures on the Isle, having "coal burns" across their body's the heroes find an odd cocoon that men are trying to move. It seems inside of this volcanic was a guard, trapped and a little worse for ware - but not dead!

As the heroes questioned the guards and arrived on the Isle, they quickly learned these "Magma-Men" were spreading their radius of heated ground. While the massive chasm sits without activity.

Determining descression might be the better part of valor, the team retreats to search for answers, answers they believe will be had by Henry Pym...!

INVASION FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH - Part II: "Small Challenges"
November 4, 2007.
GM: KEVIN

ISSUE RECAP:

Rushing back to London to find Pym in hopes of explanation or aid, the team learns that Pym had formerly been working in Paris with a mechanics group but now has been relocated to work with Starkweather.

Lady Van Dyne telegraphs Starkweather to arrange his aid in finding Pym. Even though it is late at night when they arrive, the Wasp's allure aids entrance to Starkweather's home.

The team learns that Pym is working on Starkweather's new textile factory machines and has a "laboratory" in Whitechapel. Starkweather gives the Avengers the apartment address and notes on the location his investigators have learned where Pym frequents a brothel and opium den.

When the Avengers arrive at Pym's apartment they find the entire floor has been seemingly condemned and boarded over. After some investigation the team learns that Pym has reduced everything (using his "Pym Perfumes") within the apartments to a mini-city so that he can have immense areas for his colonies of insects and his lab work.

After minor dealings with the Pym Perfumes and insects the team search to find Pym not there. Lady Van Dyne retires for the evening as Argonaut and the Marshal seek Pym at the opium den...

Pym had struck the ire of the den's owners and now was being beaten by tough ruffins, but Marshal America saves the scientist before breaking his nose himself for his bad behavour.

Pym wakes the next morning in the cells of the Tower of London. The team interogate him until they're satisfied that he's not directly responsible for the events on the Isle of Wight. But they learn much from the scientist about the natures and connections of the trenches and mythology and the faerie realms.

To end this issue the group makes plans to assault the Magma-Men, hoping to capture the large rock at the center of the disturbance believing that it is a key to the invasions!
