Grendel will bring the tilt-wing around in a counter-clockwise orbit of the island, about three hundred meters out at thirty meters in altitude. I'll extend the southbound leg another two hundred meters before making a hard right turn into the wind. At about two hundred meters out from the island, I'll come off speed and transition the nacelles from horizontal to vertical. The goal is to come into a steady hover at thirty meters over the southeastern portion of the island and deploy the ground team.

Piloting skill rolls (rotorcraft skill of 4 plus 4 control pool dice):

5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1

8, 8, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

If I need to spend a karma on the first one, I will.

Shadow
In 3 hrs or so, i'll be able to do roll's for sneaking, and perception checks. I dont have access to my character sheet at work. If you have my character feel free to make the rolls for me.

Roger that, and a will do.

By the way, the group set up code names in the begining, you were ONE.

We'll just assume that Danny attuned the Ward to Delacroix's aura at some point, shall we?

Just in case anyone forgot, here are the code names one more time:

One - Delacroix
Two - Jessie
Three - Danny
Four - Warpath
Five - Sedryk
Six - Blackjack
Base - Grendel

Reaction test as asked for: 04 02 02 03 01 05 08 05 05 02 02 09 09
3 successes at target 6.

Though, I don't understand why Jessie is thrown around, she had strapped herself in, so it shouldn't be a problem for her.

I think Shadow meant to say Blackjack instead of Jessie, as Blackjack and Warpath are the ones that stated they were standing.

Oh! Good point.

I made my post kind general just in case.

I fixed the IC thread.

You didn't amend the OOC comment though.

Edit: Now you did!

@ Fortune, does your spirit stay around after it performs it's function?

IE, does it guard you all day, or just once. Or until the sun goes down?

I would say that the service is used if it actually has to defend the protected item or person (in this case the plane) from adversity...ie. use the Guard Power.

As to how long it stays, it still owes two more services, so will stay around until those are used, or the sun rises, whichever comes first.

I assume that Danny would know if the Spirit had to use its power (and therefore fulfill its service). If this is so, then let me know and he'll take the appropriate action.

IIRC, if a spirit is put on Guard, then it does that until the sun comes up / goes down. If a hundred things attack in that time, it is still using one service.

That works for me!

I was only going to have Danny order it to continue doing the same thing anyway.

In reguards to my post about landing on the beach...

Isn't there one side of the island that had a beach on it? Here is a quote from the second post Shadow made for setting up the story:

Oh, and I checked the book just to make sure. SR3, page 186, under Nature Spirit Services:

I actually think both of us going Astral would be counter-productive. With Danny still in the plane, at least it still has magical protection of some kind.

Besides, finding your body again in a moving vehicle is a bitch.

The "beach" as I put it isn't a sand, so cal beach. It is a Pacific north west beach. Rocky pebbles line the floor, and due to the rain the trees grow right up to the high tide mark. On top of that, deadwood trees are littered everywhere, which would make a landing near impossible.

If I didn't describe that well enough for everyone I apologize.

Danny should still have 2 Watchers (plus the Storm Spirit) guarding Astral space around the plane.

After reviewing the recording you were unable to learn anything new or of interest.

Ok, cool, I just wanted to make sure it was clear, cause you never know what kind of stuff the details can bring, hope I wasn't being to pesky about it.

Anyone seen Chance around?

No such luck.

A few notes:

1) As of right now Shadow I will need you to take care of all dice rolls for Delacroix. His character sheet has been misplaced. I think I know where it may be (tucked in a book at work) but I'll find out tomorrow.

2) Fortune's watcher, I assume I can have it relay a message back to Fortune? I really dont feel like looking thru my books for the answer on this one right now, not before bed time

3) Shadow did you want me to post immediately in reaction to Fortune's watcher spirit, or did you have more to describe?

I sent two of them to you. My intent in my orders to them was that you could use at least one of them as a messenger.

Yes, they can relay messages for you. And no, I am done describing the action for now.

Bad news. Delacroix character sheet is MIA. I'll be looking around for it, but I have no clue where it is right now. It is one of the few character sheets then never made it to my online "library" of characters. Go figure!

Shadow if you could send me the Delacroix you have, that would be great!

I never actually received him, so I can't send him to you bro. Good luck in finding him!

Arghhh noooooo! Okay well I guess we'll have to proceed with what you and I collectively know about him, while I look for him. I'm sure he's around, he'll be the last place i'm look for sure

And if you can't find him you can always just start over and make sure the sheet you make lines up with what you have laid on in character so far.

Damn! Why leave that decision to Danny?!?

Um you dont have to make the decision on your own, ask the guys.

That'd be too easy!

Sorry that I've missed posting a couple of days this week, everyone. College finals are next week, so term projects and tests were going on this week and last week as we all try to wrap up the semester. As a result, I've been rather busy all week, and I will be next week as well. I'll try to post as much as possible though.

Reaction (6) roll to avoid being tossed around: 4, 4, 3, 31 (no, really -- 31), 7, 2

Never mind, you fixed it.

I'm sorry to have to do this but I must withdrawl from the game. Shadow, you are a talented GM and I wish you success in your endevors. My reasons for my departure are varried, going to 14 hour shifts, plus further training on my days off, and most importantly, I'm getting married in a few months and you never truely apprecieate how much there is involved in a wedding until you try and have one.
Best of luck with the run, please try and bring Sedryk home safe to his daughter.

No problem Chance, having been in the Army, tried to plan a wedding, and had a kid, I understand the demands on ones time. I hope sometime in the future you can be in one of my games again. Your welcome anytime.

Perception check. Looking for any footprints or any traps that may have been setup.

Roll: 03 05 02 04 09 02

I was kinda waiting on Jr to dispatch the watcher before I proceeded. If he hasn't posted by this afternoon though I will move things along.

Yeah, I figured as much. It is just a watcher though, so he shouldn't have too much in the way of problems.

Spell Defence: 4 (2 Sorcery/2 Spell Pool)

Spellcasting

Sorcery: 4 (6 - 2)
Spell Pool: 3 (5 - 2)
willpower: 6

Force 5 Levitate: 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6 (3 successes)

Drain (4[M]): 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6 (no Drain due yet again to T. D. )

I am going to give Grendel some time to post a reaction to the incoming before I continue on the winch operations or the med scan. I also am hoping Jr will take out that watcher soon.

No problem. I just figured I'd post my immediate actions just in case things happen when I am not online.

Edit: Just to be sure, I'll post Danny's Biotech rolls. I assume that this would be considered Diagnostics as opposed to First Aid (in regards to specializations). If not, then I get 2 more dice! Also, as far as Complimentary skills are concerned, Danny has the Medkit, plus Medicine Knowledge at 5 (+1). I'm not sure how you handle things like Complimentary skills though, so I'll just use the Medkit for now.

Biotech/First Aid: 5 /7 - 3, 4, 4, 4, 9
Savior Medkit: 5 (complimentary) - 1, 3, 3, 8, 14
TN: ?

Me too. And if Jr doesn't show up, can you roll for him?

As a generall rule I do not like to play people characters for them. I did for TKG, but he specifically requested that I do so because he would be out of town. So if at all possible I will give people the time to get here.

You get a limited oppurtunity to play your character on these boards, I hate to take that away from people.

Understandable. Its my bad for being impatient.
