Not to Choose Is Not a Choice
|
You see a sinister figure lurking on a nearby rooftop. With a battlecry for justice you leap after the figure, which quickly turns and runs. After a minute of pursuit, the figure ducks around a corner and you hear numerous voices shouting. Cautiously you peek around the corner a few moments later, to see a diverse party of four heroes picking themselves up from the ground. "We've gotta stop that guy!" you shout. All four heroes jump to action, each in their own way.
The psion says, "Help me think of a way to outsmart him!" while the gadgeteer says "Help me rig up a gadget to trap him!" The naturalist says, "No, we've got to hunt him down like an animal!"

Fast-Acting

Strong
You and the naturalist set off in a dead sprint, racing each other across the rooftop, challenging each other to jump the gap and speed along the next building, and the next, and several after that. Somewhere along the way you lose the enemy, but it's a very good workout.
