Secret City/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crazy Awesome:
    • To get a part of a MacGuffin, Inga jumps from roof to roof (across a 100 feet gap) and climbs down a chimney. To get a second part from a museum where magic is prohibited on the pain of death, she drains herself of energy entirely and uses only a Portable Hole and a perfect timing. She gets caught, but only accidentally, and Santiaga is so much impressed (and dissapointed on guards) that not only he lets her live, but offers the third part of MacGuffin.
    • Cortes joins Santiaga in his fight with Cthulhy and Tasmit, deliberanely gets nearly killed, feigns death and is almost crushed by Cthulhu's spike foot, then stabs him in his only weak point with a gauntlet-mounted circular saw and puts inside an artifact that freezes Cthulhu's inner body to the absolute zero. What for? For he now has Cthulhu's undamaged corpse, so he can make a dummy of it and trade it for the final part of aforementioned MacGuffin.
    • Santiaga and Yana drive like this.
    • Artyom blows a huge monster with a ridiculous amount of explosives (only making it slightly sick, however), rushes near it and throws magical napalm grenade in it's mouth, so he can also make a dummy and sell it.
    • Overthrown Sledgehammer returns with a ton of explosives and a live grenade and threatens to blow Southern Fort to hell if the mutiners do not give up. It works, since Red Hats are Dirty Cowards.
  • Complete Monster:
    • The Messenger.
    • Also, the convict who molested, murdered and ate several dozen of children. He gets what he deserves...
  • Magnificent Bastard:
