In this hair-raising adventure of Tesla’s Power Corp you can follow the exploits of the following heroes:

The Great Wall Standoff

As the sun sets the members of Tesla’s Power Corp prepare to meet with Lo-Peng and hopefully free Mike’s Army buddy Eddie Chang. Miles and Mike approach via the walkway on the main wall while Tommy sneaks along the side. After walking for a bit they see Lo-Peng holding Eddie with a sharpened fingernail on his throat. While Miles gets Lo-Peng talking Tommy uses the opportunity to creep around behind. When the situation comes to a head Lo-Peng magically grabs the jade amulet pieces from Miles then transports himself on top of a nearby tower. Once on the top of the tower Lo-Peng summons ghostly warriors then opens a magical portal and jumps in! While finishing off Lo-Peng’s ghostly warrior minions Mike rescues Eddie. Tommy climbs up the tower the dives into the magical portal after Lo-Peng! Quickly the others dive in after the immortal wizard and the kid thief.

Nor Iron Bars A Cage

When the swirling lights fade the members of the Corp find themselves in a large domed chamber. In the center of the room is a jade sarcophagus that is being watched by four wooden warrior statues. Around the room is a river of mercury with several small bridges crossing it at various points. Lo-Peng is floating towards the center of the room and gloating that soon his immortality will be restored and nothing will be able to stop him! As soon as the Corp members regain their senses they rush into action. Miles starts cutting loose with lightning bolts while Mike opens up with his Tommy Gun. Tommy rushes towards the coffin and calls his spiders. Once at the coffin Tommy finds it partially open. Inside he sees a skeleton with its wrists shackled. Resting along side he finds a jade spear. Lo-Peng then transforms into his true form, a gigantic Chinese dragon! He then starts clawing at a magical barrier which is protecting the sarcophagus. Acting fast Tommy throws the jade spear to Mike who plunges it into a glowing jade amulet which is sinking into Lo-Peng’s dragon heart. Lo-Peng lets out a terrible scream and recoils. Miles cuts loose with a deadly blast on the amulet that stuns the dragon! With a final blow from the jade spear Lo-Peng turns into mist. The mist and spear then float into the coffin where it magically seals.

While Miles examines the chamber more closely Tommy and Mike decide to return to the Great Wall to make sure Eddie is ok. Mike finds Eddie poisoned and gets him medical attention at a nearby village. Miles discovers that the entire chamber is actually an elaborate and powerful magical prison. He returns confident that Lo-Peng is now safely confined.

Session #10 – Daring Tale #6 – The Palladium Peril

In Thunder, Lightning, Or In Rain

After returning from China and the affair with the nearly immortal wizard Lo-Peng, Miles is met by his butler who presents him with a strange letter. Miles replies to the letter then a week later receives a response. The contents of this second missive prompt the wealthy magician to assemble the team. At a fancy restaurant Miles explains that there is a Greek artifact known as the Palladium that may have recently been located. This item is reported to have the power to sway the fate of nations! Miles wants it found before it falls into the hands of the Nazi’s who he believes are also on the trail of the Palladium.

In London Tommy, Mike, and Miles are at a performance of Macbeth when a contact from the British Intelligence Service meets with them. As the play begins a man with slicked back hair takes a seat next to them. He says that his name is Reginald Forsythe and that he has something important to convey regarding a matter that involves the safety of the realm. In the middle of the next sentence in the play the three witches raise their voices and stage lights flash representing mock lightning. In a flash of REAL lightning Reginald is nothing but a charred husk! Quickly exiting from stage left the team spots a blonde haired man with a black trench coat leaving the scene. Tommy races to the front of the building while Miles and Mike chase the magician backstage.

Outside the blonde haired mage is met by a black sedan which races off. After grabbing the only method of transportation the group can find, a double-decker tour bus, the group races off in pursuit. Mike takes the wheel while Tommy hangs on nearby. Miles goes to the second deck hoping to get some clear shots at the mage. While going under a bridge a group of thugs jump onto the roof of the bus! As Miles cuts loose on the men with bolts of electricity Tommy runs up to give his aid. While Mike closes ground on the sedan three motorcycles approach from the rear! Mike pulls one of his Colts and belches lead at the sedan while Tommy hits one of the back tires with a masterful knife throw. As the sedan starts to roll over Mike skids the bus into one of the cyclists sending it flying. With gas leaking from the sedan Miles starts blasting at the blonde mage who has extracted himself from the wreckage. Mike starts taking out the thugs in the sedan while smoke starts to emerge from the engine. Tommy yells to Mike telling him to dive clear seconds before the sedan erupts in a ball of flame!

New friends and old enemies await our courageous team as they continue their search for the mysterious Palladium. Don’t turn that dial or you may miss some of this gut wrenching action!
