This was a Pulp game based on the scenario of the same name
for .45 Adventure. However, for this game, we used the Galactic Heroes set of
rules.
Following on from Chapter 2, The Crimson Scarf has got word that the Jade Hood plans to destroy incriminating evidence at the nearby chemical works.
For The Crimson Scarf, Big Mo wasn't available, so Wrought Iron Man was called in again. Additionally, some XP was spent to recruit some members of the local Police Department.
Fed up with being beaten by The Crimson Scarf, The Jade Hood called in a Ninja to command his forces and implement his despicable plan.
Secretly, The Jade Hood had marked two areas where bombs were to be placed, with the aim of destroying the Chemical Factory and any incriminating evidence.
Six markers were placed upside down on the table and a figure had to spend an action to flip the marker. A result of '1' would reveal a bomb location. Once a bomb location was revealed, it would require a hard task to be completed to set or defuse the bomb.

| The Chemical Works. |
Both sides started to investigate the chemical works, looking for clues as to where the bombs should be planted.
 |
| The Police and Wrought Iron Man deploy. |
Both teams set out, trying to get to the nearest location markers.
 |
| Gangsters advance. |
Eventually, the opposing forces came within sight of each other. The Police came under fire from the gangsters, with a brave officer going down with a wound.
 |
| A Policeman goes down. |
The Ninja climbed a tower and discovered that this was site for one of the bombs.
 |
| One down, one to go! |
Elsewhere, ace reporter Bridget Rouke discovered the other location for a bomb. Bridget and Grasshopper sought to defend the location from the gangsters.

| Cat and mouse |

Elsewhere, The Crimson Scarf and Wrought Iron Man kept to the shadows in the hope of ambushing the gangsters.
 |
| Hiding in the shadows! |
With both sides taking cover, shots were exchanged, with one of local muscle going down wounded.
 |
| Bang, bang |
Wrought Iron Man sprung his ambush. Unfortunately for the metal man, he ran out of steam just when he needed it the most.
 |
| Out of steam! |
Having successfully planted and primed a bomb, the Ninja moved to the other bomb location. As the Ninja approached, Grasshopper moved to block his approach.
 |
| Martial artists prepare to fight! |
Having successfully built up his steam reserves, Wrought Iron Man took out some local muscle and downed a gangster.
 |
| Gangsters go down! |
With a flurry of shuriken, the Ninja downed Grasshopper. Bridget seized her chance to down the Ninja, but her pistol just went click, click & click!
 |
| Grasshopper goes down! |
The final bomb location became the centrepoint for all the action. The Ninja got to bomb location, but before he could set the final bomb, The Crimson Scarf and Bridget downed him in a fistfight.
 |
| It's getting messy! |
The last gangster left standing made it the bomb location. Like the Ninja before him, the gangster went down before he could set the final bomb. With The Crimson Scarf out of ammunition, it was a local cop who won the day.

| The last gangster goes down! |
Once again, our heroes had prevailed. The Police Department grabbing the headlines for saving the chemical factory from oblivion. For The Crimson Scarf, it meant more clues for determining the whereabouts of the The Jade Hood.
