    Well, Hatty's an old hand at dividing his team to get the best possible combos. As I recall he was deputy leader back during the Rakshasa Challenge and in Finny's absence at that point he was effectively team captain. When it comes to sporting-type events Jay just comes into his own.


I think I missed the Rakshasa challenge.



    Quote:
    As we'll see though, the race is level because while the WNC have access to some nasty abilities and huge resources the first part of the scavenger hunt is to actually find the damn objects; and Hatty's stacked his team with a detective, an archscientist, a librarian, a Shoggoth, and Visionary, all of whom have finding-stuff specialisms or experience of one kind or another.


I see the Lair Legion's advantage as being that WNC will spend as much resources trying to tie up the Legion as they spend searching. If the WNC doesn't get them all, that is.



    Quote:
    Quite a few I'd imagine, but then again the opposition will be doing the same for themselves, as we'll see. For the purposes of this story and to prevent it running into multi-part epicdom we'll probably have to just assume all the things the Juniors or the Abhumans or the Purveyors of Peril are doing in the background. I've resisted throwing in too many cast to try and tell a quick fun chase story. If we're lucky we might get a quick input from the Laundry of Doom cast before the end.


I did see the mention about staying in contact with Hallie. She'd be an excellent source of leads. And she can dispatch anyone who's not on the hunt to check the location and report back, in case it's a bogus lead - that way the Legion doesn't waste time on dead ends.



    Quote:
    Of course, anyone wanting to offer a tie-in might note that the occult underworld is probably involved in some heavy side-betting that could be a story in its own right.


Noted.
