Blackgate is rioting.

The prisoners are managing to get out of the facility but more of them are staying - for the moment. The chance to turn the tables on their jailers is not often presented and many of them are taking advantage of the opportunity.

The standard alerts have been set out but what hope is there of a response when the heroes are fighting each other? What hope is there of response with all of the things that must surely be ccupying their time and their focus?

As the rioting prisoners of Blackgate spread and spill out of the building, there is a worry about those contained in Arkham. How long will it be until the join in the chaos? Those incarcerated in Arkham need little reason to attack their captors and some of them are all but precient in their ability to sense the mood of the city.

Most of Gotham City rests between these two attempts at oubilettes. Most of the time the city allows the high walls, fences and guards to lull them into a sense of security. Tonight, however, the city is afraid.

With good reason.
