Tidefall | E20: "Tidefall"

Des Moines and Dragons

Last Time on Tidefall... The group starts separated while going into the underbelly of the City. Salt gets a bad feeling, so he goes back to look for the missing Hera. He tells Flip to make sure the bomb is disarmed, no matter what. Salt goes back up top to find the assassin with Hera held by knife. Thanks to the assassin trying to buy time, and some quick thinking from Salt, he was able to shoot a bomb under the assassins feet to free our captured hero. On the journey to the bottom of the city, Nell and Flip actually seem to make up. Flip isn’t sure if the Children of Yantis respect and understand him, but Nell at least seems to be at peace with what Flip did. They hurry to the bottom of the city to find the bomb. Then a long and drawn out fight occurs. Hera is shot a few times, Salt destroys the assassin’s specially made knife, and the 2 heroes gang up on the assassin. A few stumbles later, and a bloody fight has taken place. Eventually, the assassin escapes the sight of our heroes. Flip finds the bomb, detetmines that a gear timer is waiting and that a steam vent is going to set off a batch of chemicals. He redirects the steam so that most of it is being shot away from the bomb, buying himself some time. But a backup valve is still an issue. He sets up a welder-like modification to Nell’s electro-zapper and the 2 get to work disassembling the bomb before the backup goes off. Back up top, the assassin seemed to be grabbing bombs. In order to keep them safe, Salt grabs Hera and jumps out a window. They get some backup from Rasmusson, and go back inside to stop the assassin once and for all. But they are gone. Right as Flip seems to be finished disarming the bomb, a figure looms above. But instead of Salt or Hera, he sees a cloaked figure. What will happen in the city of Tidefall next? Find out now.
