SPHERION PLAYTHROUGH REPORT (SUN LILIES - 2017 MAY WEEK 3)
Gormanst meets with the rest of the members of Shroud (Land Shark, Brazier, Cold Iron and PangoLynn) in an abandoned clock tower in Waltham, a blighted section of Syndros City. She laments how Shroud’s last scheme to steal a prototype steer being brought into Syndros City for the Agriculture Innovation Fair held at the Syndros City Convention Center was stopped by Paladin. PangoLynn points out that the multi-million dollar painting “Sun Lilies” by long deceased famous French Painter Sabine Vangogh will be arriving at the Syndros City Art Museum tomorrow. Cold Iron points out that since it is only two days since their attempt to steal the prototype steer the odds that Sage’s ability to determine their whereabouts (the way Shroud was stopped on the prototype steer attempt) through Clarity is unlikely because the odds are Clarity has not yet refreshed.
Gormanst agrees that striking quickly to steal “Sun Lilies” the next day is an opportunity and Shroud begins to plan their approach for stealing “Sun Lilly”.
The next day ColorWays, Dobutsu and Artemis are at Saint Ermingeln’s Hospital on the south side of Syndros City. Colorways is using her ability to heal with various colors on some of the patients. Dobutsu is entertaining children in the Oncology area by transforming into different animals. Artemis is telling tales of her twin brother Apollo to a group of nurses. News of an attack at the Syndros City Art Museum interrupts their morning and the three quickly gather out front of the hospital to wait for a Syndros City Police Department Helicopter that soon arrives and shuttles them to the Art Museum. Colorways, Dobutsu and Artemis arrive at the Art Museum to witness Sage and Fjord battling all of Shroud, except for PangoLynn.
Fjord charges up the Art Museum stairs and delivers a staggering blow to Land Shark. Gormanst launches a swirling maelstrom of spectral bulls at Sage. Sage leaps over the stampeding herd and catches himself on the extended ornate spear of a statue near the edge of the Art Museum stairs. Dobutsu leaps from the helicopter, transforming into a hawk and starting to make her way toward Gormanst, as Colorways shouts down to Sage to watchout. Sage looks up and smiles at Colorways even as a scorching blast of flame from Brazier strikes him full in the back, causing him to fall ten feet to the ground. Sage attempts to rise, but instead slumps and burns.
Artemis commands a Syndros Police Office in the helicopter to hold her belt from behind and the officer does so Artemis fires bolts of divine energy at Gormanst and Cold Iron. Gormanst dodges Artemis’ attack, but Cold Iron is hit square in the chest and falls unconscious.
The helicopter pilot sets down and Colorways runs to Dobutsu who is patting out the flames of Sage’s uniform.
Fjord picks Land Shark up and throws him 40 feet, striking a food truck with his body.
Gormanst whistles and Brazier and Land Shark to follow her as she dashes to a near body sewer grate. Land Shark, limping and clearly wounded, tears a heavy grate up and flings it Colorways, Dobutsu and Sage. Dobutsu transforms into a Silverback and deflects the grate with strong forearms, saving Colorways and Sage from a terrible blow. Gormanst, Brazier and Land Shark escape into the sewer of Syndros City.
Artemis pursues the three into the sewers but returns 10 minutes later to tell Colorways that she lost them in the maze likes tunnels below.
Later that evening, Colorways discusses with Artemis in whispers outside of Sage’s recovery room at Saint Ermingeln’s Hospital how they 1) missed that PangoLynn had carried the painting off on a separate, clear open escape route while Shroud purposely distracted Paladin, 2) that Dobutsu’s secret love for Sage is becoming a serious issue as Dobutsu’s abilities would have easily allowed her to successfully track Gormanst, Land Shark and Brazier, averting their escape and that 3) Cold Iron’s imprisonment was their only success of the day.
