It was well after midnight when the five heroes and Detective Kaspar took a break from searching the train station from top to bottom.
Closed doors, the garbage cans, the platform, the roof of the building -- everyone took turns searching them all.
By 3 am, they had exhausted every avenue. The bomb did not seem to be here.
"This is the latest I've ever stayed up..." Andrew complained.
"What next?" Detective Kaspar asked.
They had seven hours until the train arrived.
((Search rolls: 4,6,3,4,2 - rolling to find one clue, but the rolls are all too high))

"Has anyone shifty been seen or arrested here the past few days?" Posited Captain Avenger to any and all who would listen (including the officers).

Howard adds in " i jogged over to a station switch about half a mile up the road. I had theorized that instead of killing the first lady they attackers would devert the train by blowing up the switch. Then instead of killing her ot would be a kidnapping. I briefly searched the area but was not thorough."

"Lem" said, "Maybe the bombers are on their way? Why don't we head to the mountain and see if we can intercept 'em?"

"I'm up for that. Does anyone want to stay here in case we miss them?" He looked to Orpheus Jack in particular.

Gorlock has an idea. He gets in his car and travels to along the tracks. A mile down from each track leading out from the station, he wrecks the tracks.
He'll then tell the others what he did, so the officials at the station can stop all trains from entering the station. But not before he leaves with the Cabalist, Captain Avenger and the Leading Man. Sadly, the child will have to tell them the predicament as they then speed to the mountain.
He will also leave the child (Orpheus Jack) with $500 to pay for the damages.

Caballist smiles at the kid paying for the bill. The caballist will try to sleep in the car to get his magical energy back ( regain spells)

Gorlock was a bit out of shape; it took two whole minutes to bend the railroad tracks enough to make them impassable.
Gorlock left Captain Avenger in charge of telling the authorities what he had done. Amazingly, not even the stationmaster complained much this time, perhaps because they saw they had little other choice to stop the train from coming.
Andrew resigned himself to waiting here as the Heroes sped off...
((wrecking: 8, 16; reaction rolls: 9, 12, 11, 10. I need to know if Captain Avenger is going with them back to the mountains, or staying here.))

Captain Avenger will go with to the mountains (unless his player objects).

The road was practically deserted at this time of night; they made great time on the lonely highway all the way back up into the northern counties. Captain Avenger, who needed rest the most, was not allowed to drive and stretched out in a backseat (where he recovered another hit point, back up to 4 hp!). Everyone else was tired, but unhurt. The Cabalist had not had enough uninterrupted time to get spells back.
It was 6 am and the heroes, tired and freezing, faced the Sawtooth Mountains before the gates of dawn. It was a relief to leave the cold cars and get moving again, just to get the circulation pumping.
After some off-road hiking, they found the cave entrance looking much as it was before. It looked dark inside, but not *as* dark. And loud voices could be heard echoing from inside.
The cave mouth was 10' wide and 8' high, opening into a rough tunnel that sloped unevenly downward. After 50', they could see it widened into the first cave-room.
(Intentions?)

"Let's set up and see if they're coming out. We'll ambush 'em," The Leading Man suggested.

Gorlock wishes to drive his car straight into the entrance. After changing into his natural form.

The caballist waits for the bad guys to exit out of the cave.

Checking his pistol, Captain Avenger argued for stealth over an frontal assault.
