Vacation all I ever wanted ...

Summer vacation - Each PC was off with family on summer vacation, each encountered a strange man with varying responses. Each time they were soon attacked by a Mythological Creature. Also, each time this strange man exhibited powers of his own.

-In the Swiss Alps, David (Ian) came back from Skiing to find the man chatting with his mother. They were attacked by a Gryphon, the man hid David's mom using invisibility.
-In summer school, Luke (Sean) had a battle with a Manticore on the steps of the school. The stranger was talking with Coach Boomer, and proved both strong and very smart in the battle
-In Guatemala, Seth (Ben) is on a dig with his father, when they find a strange man come to visit their tents. Seth is wary and doesn't tell him much, but then a Chupacondra(?) attacked. The man produced an energy sword and shield much like his, but blue, and gave Seth a chance to escape with his father.
-At the beach, Roy (Aidan) was playing in the sand and surf. Another man struck up a conversation with his parents, and seemed to have an affinity to fire as well. Then a Minotaur attacked. After the fight, he offered to help Train Roy to use his power
-In Hong Kong, Henry (Stephen) meets another man, gets asked for directions to a good place for food (?), fights a Gargoyle. Man is surprisingly fast and tough. Grandma uses a shotgun to wax the creature.
- In Cairo, Rajive (Ryan) comes home from meditating on the great pyramid, only to find the same man with his father on their back porch. Then a Sphinx attacks, not one of those mamby-pampy puzzle giving sphinxes either, this one just plans to kill!

Later, back in the city, Roy has a visitor. It's the stranger, come to give him a lesson. Most of the others are at David's, Henry has a date with Car. Somehow (?) they realize that Roy might be in trouble, and a fight ensues in Roys back yard. The man manifests serious flame powers (both FF and FW) then flies away toward mid-city.

They trace him back to Empire High, after much clue thinking. But arrive only in time to see him with a staff on the stage, and also in 5 other places around the stadium. As they hit each one, it disappears and the one on the stage grows bigger. Until they all disappear and remaining one on the stage grows larger and transforms into a giant 6 headed Hydra! In the voice they recognise, but deeper and growlier, "You are too late, I have it now, nothing can stop me!"

Then they smell burning, and remember the TNT.

BOOM!!!

They make it out.

The next school year however will be a rebuilding year for EHS, so all those students will be enrolled in SKY HIGH! (see last years GENCON Tournament)
