Gotham Knights - City On Fire

@Kazemitsu I imagined him being like a large cat on the prowl leaping from rooftops sniffing people out.

Also!

If we don't hear back from @Nightwing95 we'll just move forward with Batwing as an NPC. He might get maimed by Bane. Who knows. I'll be in the piratepad shortly to work on my next post.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

I want to make sure everybody is also remembering Batwoman and Batwing are the only people with radio contact with Batman himself! I just don't want to have to RP more with Batman than I do Jack because often in RP's players will get too caught up with an NPC and it gives me less time to focus on my character. If you have the smarts to tap somebody's GPS/frequency you might be able to reach Bats in dire circumstances, but if anybody has radio contact, somebody's cell #, or telepathic/magic connections through characters that's on you guys.

In my mind Batman likely wouldn't hand out communication devices to mercs, ex criminals, etc. rather just tag them with some sort of tracer.

And @Skinner35 don't think you have to go back and change your posts. Jack will go off course and get a bead on Batgirl and the others as well. However if nobody's looking for Bane he'll eventually find some of us!

@Skinner35 So... Nuke asked who was with who and Batman responded. Nuke is a paid merc. The idea of getting more help from the least likely of places is so we as a group can cover more ground. So... why's he's doing stuff with the other group? I mean, I get that Batwoman's group is a little more organized, Batwing's group was meant to be the lone wolves [Wraith being the only one of Batwoman's group in my mind]. A superpowered merc, an ex-villain speedster, a monster, an anti-hero on edge, and Batwing don't seem like guys who'd be strategists or looking for tag-team partners.

He's just not acting like a mercenary. He should be looking for the kill, a bonus, and that knife so he can charge Bats double.

It'll be crystal clear why my guy is going at it lone wolf. When the ID's of the other girls's are revealed, when the League steps in, etc.... then you guys MIGHT know how it's gonna play out. Best believe I'm gonna have everyone of you on your toes.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

Skeleton Jack knew every one of the other people Batman chose for this dark crusade were gonna be watching him. It truly didn't matter. Finding him and watching him were two very different things. As a couple of the more heroic types began strategic planning to look for Batgirl, Batman leaped into the night sky with a grappling hook not even answering the monster in the dark corner's question. Jack flipped and bounced off of security ladders and the side of a neighboring building down to where he'd parked a black motorcycle. Nothing special. It COULD have been a little quieter. The masked man seemed to not really care. When he wanted to go stealth he would, for now... the punks needed to see him coming. He didn't bother to see where the armored Batwing went, or any of the others in his group. Jack didn't need anyone to tell him how to get information out of enemies. His first adrenaline rush of the night came in the form of a couple muscle bound idiots trying to sell Venom to some teenagers near a football field by one of the high schools. When they saw the man with the skull mask coming down the street like a bat out of hell they turned to run before a couple throwing knives pierced one of their legs.

The high school teens ran off with an adrenaline rush of their own, but Skeleton Jack didn't see an exchange made. He let them go to focus on the punk he'd hit with the blades.

"Where's your boss?" Jack asked pulling out a couple more blades from a compartment in his left gauntlet.

"I'm my own man now!" the pusher said slapping a couple Venom patches on his forearms and getting jacked.

The goon couldn't have been much older than twenty-one. Looked like a former athlete. With the drugs, he looked like a muscle bound professional wrestler. The parked cycle of Jack's might as well have been a piece of garbage because the goon threw it with one hand like it weighed nothing. Jack managed to dodge out of the way but not before the guy rushed him and speared him through a fence.

"All right Lil' Abner, I've had about enough of this ****!" Jack said picking himself up and throwing a three strike combo at the behemoth.

The brute grabbed Jack for something of a bear hug when the skeleton helmet came crashing into the nose of the goon with a headbutt. Jack pulled what looked like steel zip ties out of the pockets on his thighs and bound the guy's hands and feet. When he shook off the headbutt he was shocked to see himself zip tied to a length of chain coming off the tail end of the semi-smashed cycle.

"I'm gonna ask you one more time, junior. Where's. Your. Boss?" Jack asked already on the cycle.

"**** YOU!" the Venom junkie screamed.

Five minutes and about eight miles later down the highway...

"This punk didn't know anything after all. Damn shame those Venom patches wore off. Must not be the same as Bane's liquid formula. Of course he keeps the best product for himself..." Jack thought cutting the zip tie off the unconscious man's feet.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

There's no set starting point though. For all the IC Post indicates i'm suppose to be sitting in the back of the inn eyeing one of scarecrow's goons.

@vancexentan

Well, maybe my character can give a starting point? A place they should head first.
I'm not gonna be able to do that until tomorrow though.

@Unknown100

We're currently at an abandoned warehouse somewhere in the city. I didn't really give a set point to start from afterwards because... well we're supposed to be "combing the streets for Bane's goons" and there's ten of us. You've basically got Batman and a gang of vigilantes waging war on Bane and anybody using/pushing the Venom drug all across the city. All ten of us can't hit the same place without a ton of confusion and at least one or two dropouts afterwards. Pick somewhere... anywhere... could be Gotham University, the slums, downtown, uptown, under one of the bridges, on some random corner, etc. and try to get information out of these punks. You can use the buddy system with somebody else in your group, swing solo, stay close to the Bat-character of your team, etc. When I get an idea of where Bane is and where Batgirl and the two other girls are being held I'll chime in with Bats and give one of the teams a clue to find them.

Batwoman and Batwing will be the only people with radio between Batman. Doesn't matter if you're beating goons looking for Batgirl, or beating goons and looking for Bane and that knife... just get on the streets/rooftops/whatever and start busting heads.

I MIGHT throw in a minor villain committing a crime to give a couple of you something to do but that won't be for a few more days.

"Jack, Nuke, Bolt, and Kaze... you're with Batwing. The rest of you are helping Batwoman with the search and rescue. Any other questions?" Batman asked looking around.

Nothing was said, the room went silent.

"Good. Now get out there. We don't know if Batgirl is dead or alive, we've wasted enough time." Batman said coldly.

Gotham Knights - City On Fire

Batwoman and half of you will be looking for Batgirl and taking down Venom enhanced goons along the way. The rest [including Batwing] will be looking for Bane as well as taking down the enhanced goons across the city.

You don't have to hold hands with the rest of your group. Skeleton Jack and Batwing will only need three other heroes to make their team, the rest will be with Batwoman. I'm gonna try to use Batman as little as possible...
