Solo Super Adventure: Plant Sleuth the Jelly Fish Man!

Following up from my "Solo Protocols for A Super Hero RPG" post, here's a quick solo super hero game report! I only used the HTML automated tables/generators listed in that post/A Super Hero RPG. This game may serve as a bit of an illustration of the protocols listed in that post too! 


Solo Super Hero: The Plant Sleuth,

Major Hero Super Power: Plant summoning and control

Minor Hero Super Power : Super sleuth/detective

Wears leather armour and hooded cloak. Has translucent skin and the face of a jellyfish! 

Backstory:  Only survivor of a family transport accident (ship, car, train, plane, etc)

There's not a lot of images of "Jellyfish People" around...

Mission: Prevent theft of  “Crime” boss. Crime boss is actually leader of a group freedom fighters. The military police of the authoritarian government in control of the region are raiding the abandoned factory base of the freedom fighters. The military police are attempting to kidnap the leader of said freedom fighters! 

  • House Regul: The Authoritarian government in control of the region! They have the power of Terror and fear summoning and manipulation! 
  • The Free Blades: Freedom fighters attempting to overthrow House Regul! They are Thrown weapon experts!
  • In the final area a Super Villain is attempting the kidnapping!  

Place: Abandoned factory – now used by the Free Blades as a base of operations! 

  • Mission/place has four areas! 



Area 1, Factory Reception: Peeling paint and smashed windows. Glass on the floor. Old crates and boxes. Metal railing and rusting, unused equipment. 

  • 11 x Regul Riot Bots (Metal bodies, armed with Guns and Water Canons) - Goons – searching for secret entrance to Freedom fighter base! 
  • Hazard: Ceiling caving in! Very concerning looking! 

Round 1: 

  • The ceiling begins to cave in – chunks of stone and plaster falling! 
  • Plant Sleuth sneaks into the warehouse reception – the riot bots not noticing him! 
  • As the robots stamp and smash their way around reception looking for the secret entrance to the freedom fighter’s base, chunks of stone and masonry fall from the ceiling! 
  • Plant Sleuth is unable to dodge away from the falling debris – becoming scratched, perturbed, disturbed and thrown off! 
  • The riot bots do not detect his flustering! 
  • The riot bots find the secret entrance! Ripping apart the plaster wall revealing metal stairs leading down beneath the earth! 
  • Content to let the riot bots lead the way – Plant Sleuth sneaks behind them as they head down into the secret base! 



Area 2, Basement 1: Several printing presses in operation – printing off anti Regul propaganda! The basement narrows to a small corridor leading to a cheap looking wooden door. Plant Sleuth notices suspicious looking slits running along those walls – clearly some sort of trap! 

  • 11 x Regul Riot Bots (Metal bodies, armed with Guns and Water Canons) - Goons. 

Round 2: 

  • Plant Sleuth notices several sky lights are illuminating a variety of plants within the basement! They are robust and healthy decorative indoor plants. 
  • The riot bots charge towards the door! Triggering the automated blade trap behind the fake walls! Several blades stab out at the riot bots! 
  • Three of the riot bots are stabbed by deadly, spear like blades that stab out of the fake walls! Sparks fly from their metallic bodies as they crumple to the ground - defeated! 
  • The remaining riot bots smash apart the fake walls with their metal limbs! These easily fall apart revealing the automated blade stabbing trap! In a rage they rip it apart and then open the door – revealing steps deeper down into the base! 
  • Plant Sleuth commands the plants to become ambulatory! Enlarging them in the process! He now has four bear sized shambling masses of plant matter as his loyal pets! 
  • Plant Sleuth continues sneaking after the remaining 8 riot bots – again avoiding detection! 



Area 3, Basement 2: The Regul riot bots have been trapped in a metal cage like mechanism that has descended from the ceiling!  They are ripping apart the metal panels of the floor attempting to somehow get the mechanism to retract and free them! 

Round 3: 

  • 8 x Regul Riot Bots (Metal bodies, armed with Guns and Water Canons) - Goons – making their way deeper into the “Free Blades” secret base. Currently trapped in a metal cage descended from the ceiling! 
  • As the regul riot bots rip apart the wiring of the room, electricity begins to spark! It is sparking from various electronic panels filling the room! 
  • Their smashing and destruction paying dividends, the regul bots manage to get the cage mechanism to raise a few inches – they all then work together to push the cage slightly back up towards the ceiling! A gap forms – big enough for the first regul bot to escape! 
  • Plant Sleuth sneaks towards the stairs leading deeper into the base – avoiding detection by the occupied regul bots! Unfortunately he is struck by a bolt of lightning sparking from the nearby electronics! The regul bots hear him cry out in pain and see him! 


Round 4: 

  • Another four of the regul riot bots are freed from the cage! Two remain behind lifting the cage from the ground as three of them open fire at Plant Sleuth!
  • Two bullets punch into Plant Sleuth’s leather armour! He is winded but not defeated! 
  • Plant Sleuth commands his four plant beasts to attack the regul riot bots! 
  • The bear sized masses of vines and leaves charge towards the riot bots! Three of them are ripped apart, emitting sparks of electricity and smoke! A fourth plant mass is wrestling with a riot bot – unable to overcome it! 

Round 5: 

  • Another two of the regul riot bots get free of the cage! The two bots holding the cage let it drop free to be able to attack Plant Slueth! The riot bot wrestling with the plant mass is unable to attack! 
  • Four riot bots open fire at Plant Sleuth! 
  • Three of the shots miss! But the final bullet cuts through Plant Sleuth’s leather armour and wounds him in the belly! Plant Slueth yells out in pain! 
  • Plant Sleuth commands his plant masses to rip apart the regul bots as he flees towards the stairs – intent on stopping the kidnapping before he succumbs to his wounds!  
  • Four more of the regul bots are pulled apart by the plant masses as their master flees down the stairs! 
  • As the final riot bot is still trapped in the cage mechanism, the plant masses writhe down the stairs after Plant Slueth! 

Area 4, Basement 3: Computers and control panels! All sparking and malfunctioning!  Screens filled with feeds from secret cameras all around the region. 

  • 10 x  Free Blades Freedom Fighters (People in makeshift military garb, armed with swords and clubs and throwing knifes) – Goons – attempting to get the emergency elevator out of the base working so their leader can escape!  
  • Leader of the Free Blades – helping their goons to repair the emergency elevator to escape! 
  • A shimmering magical portal! 
  • A Super Villain is attempting the kidnapping: 

Super Villian: The Warp Knight of House Regul,

Major Hero Super Power: Warping and manipulation of other being’s bodies

Minor Hero Super Power : Hypnotism and mind control

Wears a suit of black and red metal armour! The helmet is filled with a huge pulsating gem!  

Backstory:  Was once a famous artist or musician



Twist: The opposing Super threatens to destroy//kill a large amount of innocents!


Round 6: 

  • The Warp Knights steps through the portal and into the basement of the secret base! Plant Slueth notices that there is plenty of foliage on the other side of the portal! Wherever the knight has from from, it is outside! 
  • The Free Blades warn the Warp Knight to stay back as they continue attempting to repair the elevator! They continue clanging away at the equipment – but do not get it working! 
  • The Warp Knight barks a command through the portal – and 12 regul riot bots charge into the basement through the portal! 
  • As Plant Sleuth commands his plant masses to attack the warp knight, he takes control of the plant life beyond the portal! A huge vine reaches through the portal to attempt grab Warp Knight but Warp Knight dodges out of its way! 
  • The four plant masses charge at Warp Knight, tangling around his body and holding him in place but not injuring him! 


Round 7: 

  • Warp Knight yells out at the Leader of the Free Blades, “If you don’t come with us now, house Regul will launch a nuke at your base of operations! Millions of innocents will die and we will blame it on your pitiful organisation!” 
  • The Free Blade Fighters stop trying to repair the elevator and get into defensive positions as the 12 regul riot bots charge towards them! 
  • The Leader of the Free Blades keeps trying to repair the elevator – so far unable to do so! 
  • As they charge towards the 10 Free Blade Fighters the 12 regul riot bots open fire! Killing 5 of them! 
  • The remaining 5 free blade fighters throw daggers at the approach riot bots – but they bounce uselessly off their metal bodies! 
  • A beam of pink energy shoots from Warp Knight’s gemmed helmet towards the leader of the Free Blades! The leader’s legs fuse together and their arm’s fuse to their torso! The leader screams out in agony! 
  • Though beset by four plant masses Warp Knight manages to kick them away! Freeing his body – but he is still surrounded! 
  • Plant Sleuth commands the giant plant tentacle to grapple Warp Knight! Which it does! Holding him in place! 


Round 8: 

  • Warp Knight, seemingly noticing Plant Sleuth for the first time yells out, “Though I loved you once Plant Slueth, that love has turned to hate!” and he commands the Riot Bots to turn and open fire on the undefended Plant Slueth! 
  • The Bots fire! Gun smoke filling the basement! Three bullets pierce Plant Slueth’s armour! He is wounded in the arm and leg! 
  • Plant Slueth is stunned and slowed and dying from the bullet wounds! 
  • On the ground, bleeding, Plant Sleuth commands the giant plant tentacle to crush Warp Knight! 
  • The plant tentacle is unable to overcome Warp Knights thick armour – and it simply continues to hold him in place! 
  • Another pink beam shots from Warp Knight’s gem helmet, hitting one of the Flying Blade Freedom fighters, “Bring your leader to me”  he commands! The hypnotised fighter begins to do so! 
  • The other three flying blade fighters throw their weapons at the regul riot bots, hitting two of them in weak spots! Two riot bots crumple to the ground! 
  • Enraged at the damage to their master, the plant masses attack Warp Knight! The smash and buffet him with leafy and tendrilly blows! The Warp Knight is stunned and concussed but not defeated! 


Round 9: 

  • As Plant Slueth loses consciousness the 10 remaining regul riot bots open fire at him! Peppering him with bullets that bruise and batter him but do not pierce his armour! 
  • Warp Knights pink beam hits a Flying Blade Freedom Fighter and he is turned to a pink and red sludge! 
  • The various animated plant masses dissipate back into harmless bit of vegetation without the vivifying power of Plant Sleuth!
  • As their leader is dragged towards the magical portal by a hypnotised comrade, the remaining two Flying Blade Freedom Fighters throw daggers at Warp Knight! Both hit but the blades bounce uselessly off the knight’s armour! 
  • Freed of the plant tentacle Warp Knight grabs the leader of the Flying Blades and wrenches him into the portal with him!
  • The portal closes! 
  • The Regul riot bots kill the remaining freedom fighters and apprehend the unconscious Plant Sleuth! 
  • The mission was a failure (although no nuclear weapons were unleashed at least)!
