Zo's perception roll for the gas station. Let me know if my mag 3 vision mod or ultrasound give me abonus.

12d6 → [5,3,4,3,2,4,5,1,5,1,6,2] = (4 hits)

[pbangarth]

Professor will concentrate on the astral view.

Perception in the astral: 9 dice ==> 2 HITS

[Acme]

Well I guess there's two people on the Astral as that's what Acme just did, and he's relying on his natural low-light vision.


8d6.hits(5) → [1,6,1,2,6,6,2,1] = (3)

About bloody time i get a decent shake on the dice.

[Red-ROM]

Hmm, maybe I should start doing a summary of whats happening out of character. Acme, you reacted to ghouls that only Oswald had spotted half a mile to the East, and he had decided not to mention to the group yet. He was nice enough to mention them in his latest post, but we're having a problem with characters responding to things they are unaware of.
So let's try to sum up here. Oswald is sitting in VR against the southern wall. Zo is standing by the window of the southern wall, looking in the broken window(southern most room). Ferret is checking the door of the same room.I'm a little less certain with Professor, but I'm picturing him near Zo and Oz. Acme said he was hanging back and taking the long veiw, I'd guess a little south of the gas station? enough to see up the road a little? Jovan is at rusty's place in the rover with Viper 5 hog tied on the floor. the ghouls are a street over, heading north. there's two of jovan's spirits circling back to the group, and one looking for Johnathan. Acme has a watcher looking over Thirty to see if his situation worsens, The Tower has moved east to scan the ghouls with various scanners. Am I missing anything?

Corrrect

For one, as far as Acme knows, Thirty is still hooked up to machines being monitored by remote, just as he has been for the better part of two hours. Also, sending a watcher into the Rover would piss Jovan off to the point of frothing anger, and Jovan being dual-natured, he would spot it instantly.

[Acme]

Ok I apologize for the ghoul thing, I didn't mean to meta or anything, just trying to be useful. As far as the watcher he was ASKED to do so in order for them to leave Thirty where he was.

[Saint Sithney]

Heh, well, whoever thought to send a watcher for Thirty, it was not the best idea. With two dice to Assense, it can let us know when he is dead or if somebody moves him. That's... about it.

In the mean time, the car he's in has 10 hardened armor and a security system that'll shock the hell out of anyone who messes with it. Only thing I could see happening is Jovan using him for a snack after Viper 5 is drained dry.

Nom nom nom.

[Red-ROM]

ok, the team at the gas station hears an explosion in the distance, roughly north-west. Jovan gets the update from his spirit.

You know what, I understand getting yelled at by ROM for mistaking metagaming for being proactive, but I'm really not liking this getting yelled at by other players.

[Saint Sithney]

No anger or anything. I'm generally not an angry guy, so I hope you're not interpreting it that way. I'm sorry if I upset you with the old story corrections, that's really not the effect I'm looking for. I'm just trying to try and keep coherence here for the benefit of the story and characters. If my anal-retentive bullshit bothers you, feel free to ignore it. I.. don't think anyone is mad at you or anything..

[Acme]

Hmm. Ok, it looks like the original suggestion, by Oz no less, was for Ferret not Thirty so I apologize for my annoyance. I'll edit but to be honest I'm struggling to keep up. I don't know if it's because I'm often loathe to even come onto DS anymore, I really do want to keep up with the game, but sometimes I flounder and that's where my misconceptions seem to come from.

[Red-ROM]

For the record, I think we have all made mistakes on here, and have been corrected by the group, including me. Some corrections have been debated for a few pages. I don't mean for it to sound like a personal attack. I'm just trying to keep everything straight, which is what the OOC thread is for. When conveying a message in writing, you can lose the tone of the remark, and the attitude of the poster can be easily misinterpreted. I find it helps to use emoticons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)

[Saint Sithney]

And if I'm terse right now, it's because I've been writing three separate research papers all due on the same day.
All that concise, formalized style is shitting up my brain.

[Warlordtheft]

And you aren't the first person to misinterpret something.....I just edited my post before anyone responded--Acme this not that big deal--I'm finding just like an in person game, sometimes things get misinterpreted.

@Red-Rom: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)

[Sephiroth]

Acme, I'm writing under the assumption that you still want that watcher hanging out in the Rover. If you've changed your mind about that, changing my post will not be a problem.

[Acme]

Yeah, the watcher should be going overwatch on Ferret like Oz wanted. Ugh.. I wish DS didn't piss me off so... *Rubs temples* Then I'd be here more often and actually not screw up, hehe.

The dog is coming for me! I must flee! Help me!
The panic is palpable from the spirit. Jovan can sense it tearing through the astral plane in fear.

This just broke me up. Thank you. It's been a hard day.

15 dice total, 12 from attributes, skills and quality, and the +3 bonus for actively looking.

If you had any other modifiers I'll gladly reroll.

I just subtract any modifiers from the dice rolled, starting from right to left.(I bet you would gladly reroll (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) )

[Warlordtheft]

Gee a -4 and I'd still have only 3 successes---YEAH ME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

[Red-ROM]

I'm kind of hoping Notso posts soon. He has plenty of time, but He's also kind of key to the action right now.

[Sephiroth]

@Red-ROM- Just as a small aside, I summoned a Force 7 spirit partly to help me get a nosferatu-y plan of nosferatu mastermindedness worked out, spot things that I may have missed but Jovan would likely have caught, and so on, but I haven't had the time lately to sit down and think over everything that's happened and how to prepare for the most likely opponents behind it and events ahead of us. I'd like to start doing that sometime this weekend, if time (hopefully) allows it.

[Notsoevildm]

Away from pc this weekend. Will post tomorrow latest
