In the aftermath of their battle with an honest-to-goodness angel, some members of the Phantom Force are starting to have second thoughts about supervillainy. Unable to live with the guilt of getting innocent bystanders killed, Pete finds himself in a precarious position of strength in his relationship with Urodoo, and decides to press the advantage while he has it. Little does he know that his decision to exorcise his demon will shake the former Fear Force Five to its very core, calling loyalties into question, straining friendships, and leading, perhaps, to more misguided attempts at redemption.

The Phantom Force is back with another dastardly plan for mayhem and villainy! They still need one remaining component, the feather of an angel, to complete their Porter tracking device, but just how low will they sink to obtain it? When the team learns that two heroes who’re playing host to true blue angels are going to be awarded the key to Bulbous Quarry, they decide to set up the snatch-and-grab operation of their careers. However, some of the Hellbinders are beginning to question their continued relationships with demons, while others recklessly skirt damnation, even as their choices nudge them ever closer to some moral event horizon.

Phantom Fist’s past comes back to haunt him in a big way in this week’s session of Alex’s Apex City Bulbous Quarry campaign! First, we revisit Blake O’Henry’s big score one last time to learn the fates of his former teammates. Twenty years ago, Blake survived the slaughter at Groutweasel Tower and fled the supervillain game, but not all of his team members were quite as lucky. In the present day, Ana Telonis, better known as Battery Acid, has escaped from a maximum-security prison, and Blake figures she’s out for revenge.  The Phantom Fist needs protection and the team needs a demonic totem to complete their Porter-tracking device, so taking down a vengeful Hellbinder seems like killing two birds with one death trap. However, when Blake’s feelings for Ana flare up just before their confrontation, it could spoil all the group’s carefully laid plans.

The fearsome villains of Bulbous Quarry are one step closer to building the devilish device they need to track down Porter, the demon who ruined their lives. In the meantime, the circumstances of their exile continue to worsen. Peyton, currently working kennel duty at an upscale pet salon, finds himself in an awkward position when his boss’s lapdog decides to blackmail him. Peter, who is currently managing accounts at a cash register repair firm, has an unexpected meeting with an old friend. Weylan, now a junior cashier at the local museum’s gift shop, pines for the affections of his much younger boss. When they learn that an exhibit of priceless Egyptian artifacts, newly liberated from the now-defunct Fear Force Five in Apex City, is to be showcased at Weylan’s workplace, the team bands together to take back what was once not-so-rightfully theirs. However, the security protecting the exhibit has been significantly increased, and old tensions strain the group to the breaking point. The Phantom Force will need a solid plan, perfect timing, and the assistance of a newly recruited henchman to pull off the museum heist of the century, again.
