looking for a critter. preferably a big cat or a bird, but almost anything that can avoid bringing attention to itself will be acceptable.
Assensing : 6d6 = 2 successes Probably not enough. Should it be an extended test? |

If you need help, I can ask one of my fire spirits to scout around for one. I have a bound Force 4 and an unbound Force 7 floating around, and they could probably find you a vessel quickly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Since I'm not an enchanter, I don't think I can prepare a vessel. I'm more than happy to spend some karma to figure it out and help build something suitable for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Voodoo tradition has the Loa (spirits) possessing willing people normally. It's likely that my future hosts will be less willing, though, but I doubt that you'll need to spend the xp on it. The pact he offered you, on the other hand, might be something you'd be interested in.
On a side note, I can't find anything limiting the number of pacts I can have with characters. Any gm-imposed limits going to be made? |

Tris is a hermetic tradition mage, but his mentor spirit is of the overly possessive dark goddess variety. He'd probably take you up on it, but she views Tris as hers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Gotta consult the imaginary voices in my head on this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

Okay, I'm asking my unbound spirit to help you find a possible host. That's one more service down, three left.
Assensing: Looking for a possible possessable host for Mal Intuition(7) + Assensing(7) = 14d6 for 3 hits. Spending Edge to reroll misses for 4 more hits. 7 hits total. Let's find you a warm body. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Don't forget your 'events' options...an air strike by a couple of yellowjackets would easily destroy the drones allowing you lot to deal with/evade the darkenss and get on with assaulting the compound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

That's true. I was afraid they would tip off the Azzies to our military force. Of course, if Sticks ended up falling face-first into an alarm... x_x
I think we were worried about the sensor area, too. Maybe using a mortar strike on the sensors plus a air assault on those drones might way to start? I don't know much about the events points. Do they refresh, or are they one time only thingy? I'm more than happy to spend a few to start it off if it means we get into the action. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Let's just say the events are a finite pool...but I'll let you know when it's close to running out. It was meant to be bigger with 4-5 players contributing edge and leadership to it so if it looks like you are using it too much I'll step in. It's meant to add milspec flavour without taking the centre of attention away from your PCs. I didn't really anticpate these drones stalling the action so feel free to call in an air strike on them and possibly a hacker 'jam-on-the-fly' assault on the sensor grid. Not perhaps the most subtle thing in the world but it will get things moving again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll leave that up to Tris, since Mal has a bit of trouble making electronic communications work...
Umm... I think I'll grab a small fuzzy thing to be my body. Imagine how much terror there will be when the small fuzzy thing suddenly tears a drone apart with it's adorable little paws! ^__^ |

Anything to get to the action! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll put up an IC post with Tris calling it in. |

Possess a small furry thing!

Your choice of small fuzzy thing completely fails to resist your possession! Sorry for lack of input this week, hope work will be less manic next week!

it occurs to me belatedly that Squirrels can't talk. So Mal will use his influence power to plant suggestions instead!
Magic 6 + cha 4 = 10d6 = 4 successes. Resist with willpower if you don't want to start talking to a squirrel. |

LOL, summoning a watcher spirit to act as a carrier pigeon. I don't think we carry squirrel-sized commlinks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
Summoning a watcher spirit for 2 hours: Magic(5) + Summoning(4) + Power Focus(4) - Sustain(2) = 11d6 for 2 hits. Resist Drain: 2S Willpower(5) + Logic(9) + Centering(1) = 15d6 for 1 hit. LOL If I have time, I'll make a First Aid roll to deal with the drain damage: Logic(9) + First Aid(2) + Specialty(2) - Sustain(2) = 11d6 for 6 hits. LOL. I should use morphine to treat headaches more often... |

Sorry guys, this game seems to be loosing its momentum again, mostly my fault as I’ve been concentrating on other threads (notably the 2072 one…). The air strike is inbound and I suggest we push past this obstacle and move on to the compound proper! You can either engage the dark horrific entity or skirt round it before it moves closer, your choice [I would suggest avoid it, but that’s just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) ]

Is there a statblock for a squirrel in any of the books?

@Mickle: Running Wild does. It lists Chipmunks(Squirrels) as a similar animal to hamsters. Stats ain't pretty, but you get 4 Agility and 5 Climbing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
@Aria: I think we're going in, locking S-Foils in attack position and shields double front. Is it action time now? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
