AHHHH HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA I just had the mental image of Johnny Depp in the cave with all the pirates in Pirates of the Carribeans.... "Uhm, par-ley?" AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Oh man, that was hilarious. Since I'm a PBP n00b, I assume I shouldn't post again before everyone else has had a chance to say what they're doing? |

Posted.... Ah young grasshopper not strong of mind! We survive!
My bad on the Dragon i guess... i thought that when Drone man found out a Drag was inbound the "..." informing them of the danger, meant we knew it was incoming and since dragons arnt exactly THAT rare in the sixth world i assume we all know what a Drag is =P Woops on my part. |

Typically, yeah, just so everyone can register an action. As the game progresses you'll get a feel for the way this group works. Sometimes, as with an exchage between an PC and an NPC the GM and a Player might have a long/rapid series of back-and-forth before it is storifically ™ relevant for others to post again. For now, I'd say start composing your post and see if a few hours brings responses from the rest of the team. If you can't wait, go on and post. :) I won't hold it against you. :D |

A dragon was incoming, and in fact it seemed to attack. At the same time, you (the character you) touched the warp, and things went weird. No more dragon and elementals, but hello demon pit fiend and zombies. Hope that clears things up somewhat. As to multiple posting ... In a game with 8 players plus the GM, the waiting time between acceptable posts varies greatly. It's best to keep track of who has and hasn't posted, or if a post from them would be relevant. With interaction between PCs, posting back and forth is good, but not usually done whenever combat or 'turn-based' events are happening ... such as now. And guys, please go back and edit out the sigs from your posts in the IC thread. :) |

You know what I'm really scared off? All the people who seem to be getting ready to whip out grenades. I just know that someone's going to botch a roll, and then it's chunky salsa time for everyone.
Of course, this being a target rich enviroment, even with grenades, you don't have to waste much time aiming. Just huck it into the middle of the zombies and let them suck on it. Just make sure middle of the zombies = far away from us. I'm going to be showing my fondness for surpressive fire. |

HMHVV: Assensing is Intelligence with Aura Reading as a Complementary skill. ;)

Means its kinda relevant, but not the main skill. Mechanics wise, you roll half the ranking of the complementary skill as well.
I.e. in the aura reading example.... Int: 6 Aura reading: 6 You roll 6 dice for intelligence, + half of aura reading. For a total of 9 dice. |

Just a quick correction. You roll your Intelligence, then your Aura Reading, and for every 2 successes on your Aura Reading, you get another success on your Intelligence. Not a huge difference, but since you round down, it is a difference (page 97 of the core rule book Hunter)

Don't point things out like that to the GM until it's too late to take them back. I'm saying that Jack had everything assembled into a single heftable pack so that he could get it wherever he needed to go while they were setting up. It's about sixty pounds worth of heavy, but you don't want to be trying to juggle three suitcases and a duffle bag while attempting a fighting retreat from the Reach Fuileach (hence why he also had SMG slotted. Not really time to change chips in a fight, and when trouble came calling, they probably weren't going to call ahead of time. Also, it'd make precious little sense to wander around with an SMG, and no SMG skill).

I looked up the rules, and it says that Active Skills could only support another active skill (in rare cases). I didn't see anything about Attributes.
Is this a house rule we're using then? |

2 questions:
First, is there actually a snake eating Rebo? Second, are these Shedim? (only because I said I was perceving, though I didnt make it clear what I was looking for) |

That's not all that clear to me... We only state the number of dice we're using for any particular test, and Sphynx rolls?

My impression is that all but initiative is ours. I didn't make my rolls yet - wanted to see how the 'parley' came out. Poorly, I see.
Sphynx - what did scanning the ceiling for spots to grab hold yield? Anything? Rebo getting his face chewed off (or just moving towards Big Nasty against his will) is definitely grounds for Slinky to launch into her plan. So... |

Rolling of Dice: My job, just say what you'd allocate.
Snake Eating Rebo: Astral Perception shows the imagery of the snake-headed monster. Those without the Perception see a worm-skull. There is no snake eating Rebo, but from the astral side, it did look like one of the Astral Snakes gulped Rebo for a split second. Shedim: Does your character know what a Shedim is? Ceiling: The ceiling looks like old style cave rock, and the flickering torchlight in the room makes it difficult to see what's what that high up. |
