QUOTE (adamu @ Aug 9 2016, 07:00 PM)  @Tangled Currents - everyone but Mercy and Aria - feel free to converse or RP or whatever from the house. Mr. J, you're the only one at the house that hasn't agreed to do this thing - feel free to discuss with D-Pop. Anyone with any ideas or information to share that will help find the time and place, go for that too. But I'm going to green light JDragon and Jack_Spade, both of whom are waiting until the afternoon of the 22nd, to join you. So anything that you post before one of them shows up happens before then. And after they show up, you can have slept or you can post flashbacks. Such is the price of getting everyone together - a bit artificial, but most important thing is getting all the players a chance to play, I think we'd all agree. I'll stop with such time manipulations once you're all together. So post when you're ready, JD and Jack! The 22nd in real life? |

@Adamu Thanks for pointing that out. I had missed the color change indicating that was a link. Fancy villa.

QUOTE (adamu @ Aug 8 2016, 10:50 PM) Villa Mercy and Aria, there's the material you were sent on the target house. The address in on Lake Washington in the Matthew's Beach neighborhood. Assume it's a rich people's road leading along the shore, and that there are at least 500 meters plus screening tree lines between houses. No wall or gate shown in your materials. (Also no mention of security.) As in the IC post, you have five photos of the target deckers. Yup, they all look pretty nerdy, but also trying hard to look cool. Three Asian humans, one black dwarf, one white elf. Accompanying info on them is scant - street names, and stuff (obviously written by someone very non-technical - a with or druid maybe) saying they are really badass deckers. If you need concrete personal details, ask and I can provide them insofar as the materials you've been given do. Any questions let me know! I've added the pics to the OP wiki! https://stormy-waters-2075.obsidianportal.c...is/luxury-villa |

I haven't been following other threads, but I get the feeling this Bronwyn may be someone I've met before, maybe as a different, more awesome, character? It also makes me question who D-Pop might be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Am I mistaken? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

But no, these are the first appearances of Bronwyn and D-Pop in anything I've run or played in or read. |

@To the safehouse group - just want to double-check no one's waiting on me for anything.
Seem's like Raider has some posts planned. All are free to keep RPing/planning. I am waiting to do anything that pushes things forward until Revenant and Rocky arrive, but if anyone needs anything from that big 'rest of the universe' I am controlling, give a shout. |

Rocky has arrived at the safe house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
@Adamu - I have another trip planned in 2 weeks for a long weekend. I expect to have internet access but its not guaranteed. Once I'm back from that nothing major planned till December. |

Sweet - JD in the house (or outside the door).
That is a planned but major time jump. Assume sleeping/eating took place in the meantime. Flashbacks or whatever else also welcome if there was anything you'd wanted to do during the day that you missed a chance to post. OOC planning is also sometimes more post-efficient than IC, and you've had plenty of time for that. Once Revenant arrives, I'll have D-Pop tell you all what her people's initial rough recon revealed about the sites, and off you go! |

So a couple things...
First @Jack - Rocky is a Troll not an ork, bigger, stronger and probably uglier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Second @Adamu - Not trying to cause problems but I see Rocky being on edge and not reacting kindly when a guy appears out of no where headed for the door just as its about to be opened. And with the day he's had he may act first and ask questions later. |

Going to start with a Perception roll to notice him closing and check for weapons. Perception 6 dice Rolls: 1, 4, 2, 6, 4, 1 = 1 hit Well I'm guessing he's going to be almost on top of me by the time I notice, which will mean more of a knee jerk reaction. If he sees anything that could possibly be a weapon he will take a swing. If no weapon and looks or indicates he's on my "team" will give him a moment to explain. If he does end up swinging he will not use killing hands until he sees a weapon or is attacked. Init Roll 9+3d6 Rolls: 3, 4, 5 = 12 + 9 = 21 Attack Roll Unarmed Attack (Boxing) (Reaction 6 + Boxing 7): 13 dice Rolls: 4, 4, 4, 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 5, 2, 3, 2, 6 = 4 hits Damage: 4 Hits + DV 9S; AP -4 If I'm outta line here let me know. I'm not opposed to resolving it IC with out rolls, just not sure how to play it. I have no need to do the my character is stronger/better than your character deal just reacting the way I think Rocky would in the situation with the crappy people keep trying to kill me day that he has gotten dragged in to. |

@Adamu (and all TC'ers)
Popping in with the 30 seconds of free time I have... Rave will discreetly make plans to acquire her gear well away from the safe house and return (hopefully!) unfollowed. I have an insane rest of the weekend for me so I probably won't get a flashback post up till Monday at the earliest. Not ideal, but those are the breaks with PbP. :\ I figure we should have some kind of security in place prior to Rocky + Jack's arrival, especially with Jan on board now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Feel free to place Rave wherever she's needed if y'all push forward before Monday. |

Totally cool with your character's reaction, and I'm sure Jack is too. I agree there's no point getting into a lot of competitiveness - just a potential initial misunderstanding between team members... Plus, you guys are both strong on both offense and defense, and things could get ugly if we turn the dice loose!!! How about you guys just work together and improvise it as a fun IC scene. And of course, we also established that the people in the house have put up some sort of security, so if anyone inside wants to step into the scene, that's cool too (although I think Vexboy's going to be busy having a vision or something). Just everyone have fun with it. |

@Adamu - Thanks for the direction.
@Jack - So I think the first question is going to be what does Rocky see as you approach and how fast are you coming at him? Any weapons in hand or easily accessible? As you could see from my post above Rocky is a bit on edge and will default to hitting first and asking questions second. |

I'll post it in detail, but what you see in the half darkness of this November evening is a man of middling height, with a very average looking face that can't be pinned down on any ethnicity in particular. He is wearing a coat over armored clothing (the gel packs give it away)
He has no weapons in hand, but something about his gait is not natural - the uncanny valley effect is triggered most likely. (https://stormy-waters-2075.obsidianportal.com/characters/john-revenant-henry) But just in case we really want to throw down: Ini: 14+5d6 32 Full defense: Defense: 19d6t5 10 |

Yikes - more dice!
If you guys are just interested in a possibly tense but basically just RP scene, please go for it, tht will be fun. But for that there's no need for dice! It's like playing paintball with real bullets! Just work out a cool scene. It could be like when Marvel and DC let two of their heroes go head-to-head, and of course it has to come out with both looking good... If you are seriously committed to hurting one another and must use dice, then PM the rolls to me and I will unhappily adjudicate. |

@Mercy & Aria
Things might happen quickly now. You've got about one combat turn worth of actions you can perform before if you want to before I cut in with more unfolding events. Mercy, if you want to understand what has come in over the transceiver, you'll need a Japanese roll with the -2 penalty for dialect. |
