New Superhero Event Unlocked: Batman Contingencies

Every smart hero (or villain) has backup plans! Here, we ask- what would happen if your fellow regionmates turned against you? How would you work against their nations? Their heroes?

Possibly victims found here: viewtopic.php?p=10050644#p10050644. Can’t pick the perfect enemy? Try our ~governmental officials~, after all, you never know who may be plotting behind the scenes.

Allreader's contingencies would depend on whether the other heroes can still be relied on. If so, it would be a great threat to any lone deviants, as it would be difficult for them to hide their descent into darkness from a powerful empath. So, if plan A (prevent the fall through positive communication) and plan B (get the other heroes to intervene) were not viable...

Against the Dragonrider, Allreader would attempt to convince their dragon and animal companions that they have gone down the wrong path. Since communicating with powerful creatures is a big part of Allreader's role, this stands a decent chance of success. If that does not pan out, it would attempt to lure them to an aquatic environment with news of powerful sea creatures the evil Dragonrider would want to control, where it can compensate for its lower speed with greater familiarity for the aquatic environment to restrain them.

Against Golden Jackal, Allreader would have a sizeable advantage already. Its cybernetic mind would be more resistant than most to her Authority, and if it has a soul, it would likely be one beyond her expertise. In addition, it would be able to predict the moves of her necromantic summons through their emotions, given the idea that her overprotectiveness comes from them. Indeed, it may even be possible for Allreader to turn the undead against her by appealing to them, to bring her back to the path of good - or do the same with her loved ones, whom Allreader would almost certainly be able to persuade. If all else fails, luring to an aquatic environment remains the go-to, with a particular added benefit that water might have interesting effects on a mummified undead, given that dessication is a vital part of the process.
