The Story
Logged by Rigby (Doctor Strange)

Doctor Strange #1 opens with Stephen Strange, a rich but arrogant neurosurgeon who’s on his way to a party in London, where his co-worker and girlfriend Christine Palmer would be meeting him. Meanwhile, Masters of the Mystic Arts members; Baron Mordo, Wong and Doctor Voodoo, investigate the London Sanctum Sanctorum, which is in ruins. They learn the name of an ancient entity: Shuma Gorath, who was the cause of the sanctums destruction as well as the death of all sorcerers within. As Stephen attends the party, all is well until he drinks a little too much than he could handle. He begins to act like a jerk around others including Christine. He spills some of his wine on Christine who breaks up with him on the spot, causing Stephen to leave. Mordo and the sorcerers would locate Shuma Gorath, who had been controlling the minds of London citizens to make an army. The sorcerers and Gorath begin to battle. In order to avoid destruction, Mordo rifts everyone to a nearby bridge, where the fight continues. Unlucky enough, an intoxicated Stephen drives down the same path leading to the bridge, unaware of the battle occurring. As the sorcerers fight the entity, only Voodoo takes notice of Stephen driving toward the fight. He stops to send Stephen in another direction, but is mortally wounded by Gorath in the process, sending Strange crashing down the bridge and into the water. Wong is eventually overpowered by the entity as well. In a desperate act to defeat Gorath, Mordo resorts to using Dark Sorcery, which is against the mystic arts code to banish Shuma Gorath to another dimension, ending the chaos. Wong used the last of his energy to bring Strange and his demolished vehicle out from the water, onto the bridge where paramedics would come to him. Mordo and Wong would return to Kamar Taj with Doctor Voodoo’s corpse, ending the rp on a sad and grim note.
