Plot summary

The Last Resort contains a scenario for four players, who take on the roles of the West Coast Avengers: Hawkeye, Mockingbird, Tigra and Wonder Man [1] (although there are suggestions for how the gamemaster can adapt the adventure to other superheroes). [2]

The four superheroes are planning to meet Iron Man in the Rocky Mountains for a weekend of rest, but when they arrive at the Boy Scout Jamboree where they were supposed to meet him, Iron Man is nowhere to be seen and hypnotized Boy Scouts attack them. [2]

The superheroes must find Iron Man's kidnapper, dealing with Plantman, Blizzard, Pyro, Whirlwind, the Radioactive Man and finally the Mandarin. [2]
