The Rider replied. "A world that makes sense. Can't believe my brother made a dirty deal with some kind of evil warrior cult." He finished reloading his gun. "You think we got any options?"
"Desperation can do wonders. Options? Can't take them down directly, so we bleed them, one avenue after another."

(Lex and Viv)
Powell clearly considered everything Lex had said. "Yes, I believe I can help you locate Mr. Colt's safehouse, as well as provide a useful central location for future use." He took a sheet of paper from a folder attached to the side of his chair and scribbled something down quickly. "The first three addresses are likely safehouses - the fourth is one of my old facilities - I'll make sure it is made suitable for you. As to the deeper question, I do not advise you to challenge their leadership so directly - at least, not you, Steelfist. You are a capable fighter, no doubt, but I fear that such a challenge would bring you greater risk than reward."
(Rex and Tetsuo)
"A catch? Is that what I am? A fish?" Paul ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm dead, aren't I?"
"Sounds like a plan." There was a loud click as the Rider snapped his revolvers back together, fully loaded. "Where do we start?"

"Not me? Then who do you suggest?" Lex found it hard to bury that he was a bit offended that Powell did not think he was able to deal with the situation and someone else should. He took the list and glanced at the addresses. "Don't worry about fixing anything up for us. I don't mind a little hard work. I guess I should add that I will likely be staying on the premises part of the time." He added sheepishly, "My sister will not take well to me not helping out much anymore."

"I think all of us together can do it." Vivian suggests.

"Where do we start? If you can't take down your opponent in one strike, keep moving, defensive, and bleed them with hundreds of cuts instead of one lethal strike. Any group like theirs needs resources. Find said resources, take them out one by one. Money? Wipe it out. Hideouts? Burn 'em down. Personnel? If you can't capture and imprison, kill 'em. If anyone would know their resources, your brother."

Tetsuo knows he has taken a lot of damage and knows he will need to heal, so he remains quiets. Blocking out normal noises and focusing on clearing his mind. Letting his body be unburdened by the mind and better able to heal.

Powell nodded. "I think your partner has the right idea - these types are a family - the respect groups of warriors more than a lone soldier - clan vs. clan. And I'm not giving handouts - I'm making an investment. I see great things in your future. All of you." He added.
Vivian and Lex find the safehouse after a couple of hours. They find Matt asleep, gun in his hand and shoulder bandaged up, his mask and hat still on.
Rex is there, and Tetsuo is meditating.
Paul is marking up a map. "I think I know where they are."
(GM Note: Tetsuo can assume he's had 3 hours to heal up)

Colt's playing an odd game of solitaire when they enter, coat clear of his holsters. "He's shaping up. We're going to bleed 'em dry if we can't take them straight. Too highly trained to take on directly, outside of calling for Betsy to come screaming down. Course, I don't have artillery as a resource."

Tetsuo listens since he is not a member of the group and if they need his Eastern knowledge they will ask him. Otherwise there is nothing for him to do but meditate.

"You didn't make it easy for us to find you. Luckily our benefactor had an idea where to look." Lex said as they entered. He still wore his armor, but had slipped an oversized trenchcoat over it. "He and my sidekick," he smirked knowing how much Vivian detested that reference, " both agreed the best way deal with this is to meet them head on so we make them understand this is our town." He looked at Tetsuo, "You know these people better than any of us. Does this work?"

Tetsuo answers simply and but with one word. "Yes." Finding it easier to answer to their liking than to point out all the possible problem and difficulties that lay ahead of them.

Smirks. "Head on is only good if you have skill, confidence, or overwhelming firepower. Multiple strikes, different directions, will tear them apart at the seams."

The flat answer followed by pointing out the err in his wording made Lex huff slightly, "What I meant was we deal with them instead of running again. We need a better plan than a head on disaster."

Realising that Lex only called her a sidekick because he knew it annoyed her, Vivian just rolls her eyes with a smirk. "what we need is a plan." Turning to Testsuo, she continues "You know them best. Do you have any ideas for how we can deal with them?"

Matt spoke up, his voice weary. "We'll do our best thinking after some rest. No need rustlin' up our new friend; he's done plenty well by us since jumping in at that shindig."
Paul chimed in. "I can take us to them."
"After we've rested - and rearmed." Matt emphasized. "Now, We can each take turns taking watch - we can go back to town in pairs - someone to cover each other while we make alibis and plans for tomorrow night. Someone should check in with Gramps and our prisoner."
