stevekensonThe Weapon to End All Wars
After witnessing a contact brutally gunned-down in the streets of Freedom City, the Midnighters follow the clues to the Starkweather Chemical plant in Hanover, where they discover Nazi agents interrogating Valerie Trueheart, a reporter for the Freedom City Ledger. They rescue Miss Trueheart, but Klaus Adler, the leader of the Nazis, frees a collection of deadly flesh-eating insects and uses them to cover his escape.
Going to speak to Mr. Starkweather, the heroes fall into a trap, as the industrialist uses a secret, combustion-activated chemical in the fireplace of his study to incapacitate them. They awakened bound-up in a secret bomb-shelter owned by Starkweather, as he tells them of the perfect weapon he has developed, based on rare Amazonian compounds: a deadly nerve gas. He offered it to the American government, but they refused him, and so he intends to hand it over to the Nazis, a weapon to end war. He leaves the Midnighters behind with a ticking time-bomb, heading to the airfield for a final demonstration of his invention.
The heroes manage to get free of their bonds and disarm the bomb in the nick of time, then rush to the airfield, where they see Starkweather’s airship heading off toward downtown Freedom City. Grabbing a plane, Skyler flies them up to intercept the zeppelin. Buster Corrigan and Starkweather have it out while St. George deals with Adler’s Nazi goons. Lilith confronts Adler himself, each of them with one of her silver guns, but the mystic weapon drives the Nazi mad when he tries to use it against her. Starkweather is shot with his own gun when he struggles with Corrigan, and Skyler is able to get on-board to turn the airship back. The deadly weapon and the conspirators are handed over to the authorities and the city is safe once again.
A tip of the hat to Triple Ace Games’ To End All Wars for this adventure. The Thrilling Tales of the Midnight Society series goes on hiatus as we change our gaming schedule over to something new. An even tweleve adventures seems like a good break, and it has been a lot of fun, but I’m looking forward to some play-time as well.
