@Gilga: Doesn't really matter, but Drain on summoning is minimum 2 even if the spirit gets no hits.
@Digital Heroin: Any objection to having Lindsey's spirit see you pilfering food? Won't be used against you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Drain: 10d6t5 3
so no drain, thanks for the catch. @Aria either Dana or Vincent are going to fly around the camp and look for some nearby town or settlement, a road or a sign of civilization. (using the shape change spell to take bird (eagle?) form). If you describe what we find we could incorporate it to the next IC in the chain. (both are not at the meeting). |

QUOTE (Aria @ Jun 21 2016, 11:54 AM)  Ok, thought a Google Maps overlay might help things along a bit… you should all be able to edit this so feel free to add info as you go! In case you missed it...https://drive.google.com/open?id=1umGxb2ISm...amp;usp=sharing @Raider: So, you get to be an eagle! Enjoy…let’s hope there aren’t any bigger flying nasties out there…check out the Google Map and feel free to describe the area around you without going too far. Any small human habitation won’t exist…you might be able to pick out faint signs of roads and I guess you might be able to see signs of major metropolitan areas in the distance…please don’t go ‘too far’ from the group for now… @Dire: you can buy hits on navigation and survival or roll, as you like. The terrain is rough but not impassable. Assuming you range far enough you will find one or two more crates of supplies (they look like they’ve been dropped from height!) with more food / survival gear in them. |

Looks like Mercy got a post up while I was writing Addie's response to Rick (for those who might have read it, the version where she was said she had ideas about punishments)
I'm blanking my response for now to prevent further confusion, and will re-post taking into account Mercy's post as soon as I have time to write something new....but unfortunately that may not be for several hours from now. Sorry for making the IC thread confusing with this. |

Looking forward to reading it BetaX! That's quite a facinating scene everyone.

I will note that I somewhat regret Blank not observing closer. He has no reason to want to linger, and programming to deal with... but damned would he have tried to put a fist through Rick's spine by now. Pretty boy orc talks too much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) That he does! But as I said, he believes fervently that he is right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) No doubt he and Blank will have words at some point...don't be so sure on the outcome though! |

I had the exact same urge to just that when he came to talk to Maya. I was just about to post jumping him when I figured out that my character will not just murder someone unprovoked no matter how annoying I find him;)

Scrap is in the mix somewhere, though, just being all quiet and offline and unassuming. |

I finally have Addie's response to Maya and Rick up. A few apologies:
1) It is quite long; I just didn't have the time to work it down to something more concise, as I wanted to get it up as I felt I was holding back further posts 2) Addie is quite rough on Maya. Sorry Mercy! Maybe Addie is more interested in the rule of law than in social justice, maybe she's more interested in roguish orcs than tough looking women, or maybe she's just falling for what Rick is selling. Whatever the reason, she's more pissed with Maya and disappointed in Rick. 3) Those who don’t like all of Rick’s words may not have much more patience with Addie. What can I say, she invested 26 skill points and her highest stat in the social stuff. Clearly we don’t have a ‘this is the party, so we’ll all get along’ vibe going in this game! ETA: did a small edit on the last paragraph of my IC post, to make it clearer that the 'other boy' did less damage because he was stopped, and that any binding should apply to both boys. |

I seem to keep hitting a timing thing where I’m picking away at a post, and I finish just after Mercy’s morning post totally changes the situation! I need to learn to write shorter posts so I can get them up first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
@Mercy: Obviously I have no idea of your plans for Maya. Addie has done her best to persuade Maya to stay (not skimping on the guilt trip), but I have no particular expectation that Maya will take it*. I’d like her to for various reasons, but I’ll enjoy whatever story you decide to tell with her. If Maya turns her down, Addie may have one last proposal, but I’ll wait to see what happens first. * Addie, on the other hand, will be a bit shocked if her powers of persuasion fail. She’ll probably chalk it up to loners just being so strange that it is hard to figure out what makes them tick. I don’t think she’ll realize that that Maya is also enough older that peer pressure is just generally less effective than with kids Addie’s own age. (ETA: And darn it, just after making these posts, a daily newsletter landed in my inbox with the following quote that Addie would totally have parroted QUOTE Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries. )James A. Michener, writer @Irn0rchid: If Addie ever does catch on to the games that Lindsey is playing, it will be a rather fascinating moral dilemma for Addie. If you are trying to build up a group to take care of everyone, what do you do with someone who is in the group, but trying to disrupt it? We’ll see if we ever get there or not. ================================= @ Aria: could we have a spot in the OP Wiki where we could dump a list of kids in the group and quick notes about them, as they get identified? I know I'm losing track of some of the who is who, trying to dig back through the thread to find out where they are introduced, etc. Just like one page as a list (can add links to any that get more detailed write-ups) |

You managed to ninja my post by seconds, so I feel your pain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
And yes, I expect that things will get interesting for all concerned should she get figured out. It's gone poorly for her in the past, but she just can't help herself! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Ah well, I had hoped to persuade Maya to stay (without breaking character), but ya gotta do what ya gotta do and damn the consequences! I am assuming Mercy that you will want to keep on playing her rather than starting up a less principled character? That’s not a problem but it would be nice if another PC elected to join you too so that you have someone else to interact with other than me! Or change your mind…but I guess that isn’t happening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
@Beta: There is a page in the OP Wiki that I started, it only has Aria and Rick so far, feel free to edit, add notes etc as you like! https://stormy-waters-2075.obsidianportal.com/wikis/runers |

QUOTE (Aria @ Jun 22 2016, 05:38 PM) I added quick notes for Sim, Dot, Pierre, Grok, Ben, and Fig. I know we have named more but haven't had time to comb through the posts to find them all, at least yet. Hopefully others could add people that they have named? (and and/everyone feel free to correct my notes on those people). No artistic talent here so no current plans to add pictures. Also I couldn't figure out how to make the text I added appear below the pic of Rick. |

I would indeed rather play Maya out. I do not want to ruin the game flow, though, so if you say she needs to be in the larger group I will edit that or perhaps even come back later with my tail between my legs. The problem is that she emphatically denies what Rick says is true and she has enough moral courage to stand by her convictions. She does not believe that she can work effectively as a "loyal opposition" because Rick will not accept such a concept and she does not wish to cause anyone else to be hurt from her actions.

Dana will happily come with Maya - she feels that where the BC is so high should not be a place for a camp. She would have left already had she survival skills. Vincent was also planning on leaving (IC) going to scout the area tough I have not heard from him in a while.

I've just written that nobody else has joined Maya's posse but Dana wasn't at the meeting anyway so the IC can stand and she can follow on when she sees you leave...so does that just leave Addie as a PC with the main group? A little bit unexpected but what can you do with all these idealists running about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif) |

I talked to Mercy about Dana meeting Maya as she'll be getting ready to leave - Dana is training by the stream.
