OOC New Beginnings DAWN Options

[Crossbow]

The odds of you having easy access to an accurate map of mainland Lagos are the same as him being able to find the compound on it, slim.

[Necrogigas]

I would also point out, you have been going hard since you were awakened by the guards at about 0100 local yesterday.

That's a really good point. Could you give such reminders in the future for in-game time? I tend to lose track when an in-game day can take real-time months. I like to rp adepts as having power, but at a cost. So as I just posted, O'Connors powers have an extreme physical toll without rest, but I forget when to bring that into play. Passively I also liken his abilities to a near constant state of fight-or-flight. That's why he's almost always manic and/or aggressive.

I'll move slowly towards the compound, being very careful.

A favourite toy of GM's worldwide.

Are we waiting for Torley to do something?

[Crossbow]

Not Torley specifically, but I can't send you to the next scene until you have a plan or at least decide to head that way. BTW, if you haven't refreshed edge, now is a good time for it.

[pbangarth]

Yay! My best friend, Mr. Edge. Saved my sorry, old ass many times.

[pbangarth]

Keeping this post from scrolling off the bottom of the list.

4th page Uzochi Compound

If you haven't already seen it, the compound is the fourth map.

[farothel]

Sammy is actually picking up on O'Conner's suggestion, not doing a suggestion of her own. That might not be completely clear when typing replies.

[Necrogigas]

Sure, but as O'Connor perceived it, his idea was shot down flat by both Starlet and Silence. Starlet then backtracked and it was only then given consideration.

[Crossbow]

Torley will need 2x each of skill rolls of the following:

Fast Talk
Etiquette
Shadowing

[pbangarth]

Yeah, I figured that little story would call for a few dice rolls.

Fast Talk: 4 + 2 + CHA 6 + Kinesics 3 = 15 dice

1) 6 hits

2) 4 hits

Etiquette : 4 + CHA 6 + Kinesics 3 = 13 dice

1) 2 hits

Not good enough for Torley! Use a point of Edge to reroll misses ==> 11 dice

3 hits ==> total 5 hits

2) 6 hits

Shadowing : 3 + INT 5 = 8 dice

1) 2 hits

Edge: 6 dice:2 hits ==> total 4 hits

2) Hmmm. Base dice pool is kinda low. I forgot the turning point of dice pool = 2.5X Edge pool. I'm adding Edge at the start ==> 12 dice, exploding 6s

8 hits Sorry, used the wrong code, I think, but it is clear.

1 Edge left, but I think this was a key action for Torley.

[Crossbow]

Good job, all around. This activity will take a few hours, so I will withhold a response to that for the moment, to give the rest of the group time to catch up to you.

[pbangarth]

And so the path to healing begins, with the smallest of us having the biggest effect.

[pbangarth]

Just posting here to keep from falling off the bottom of the discussion group.

[pbangarth]

I figured he'd be a safecracker, too.

[Crossbow]

I figured he'd be a safecracker, too.

I didn't know it myself until I looked closely at his write up, though it makes sense.

That is why I made that last post, so you guys would have full knowledge of what the resource you have is worth while you make your plan, speaking of which, I can't do much more than I have done, you guys have to put whatever you are doing into motion.

[Crossbow]

Hello all, sorry I have gone radio silent for a bit, I am back in school. I will post a response to Torley soon.

[pbangarth]

Oops. I translated "lovely little" into 'young'.

[pbangarth]

Hey gang, I will be out of internet contact the week starting Sunday, June 13th. I may be able to find some connection on occasion, but it is a summer property with no direct internet and far from cell towers.

[Crossbow]

You guys realize I already gave you the map, right?

[pbangarth]

Yeah, but we are pooling our observations in the hopes that we can use the map semi-intelligently. Maybe add a bit or two from Torley's Excellent Scouting Adventure.

[Crossbow]

The surrounding area is not especially important, other than to say you can find good solid cover and clear fields of vision on the ground. The kitchen where the free spirit lives is marked and the safe with the ward on it is the little grey box in the room without a bed or toilet against the front wall.

[pbangarth]

Thanks!
