Are we going back by surface streets or Highway?
adamu
Ultimately, that's of course up to Cadence. But considering that we are now going back to the safehouse, and then back out to Redmond (even on open freeways at night I'd've given that at least 90 mins back when I lived in Seattle), I'd say we need to prioritize speed. Suggested as much in my IC post before last.
adamu
ES Sparky - could you tell us a bit more about the configuration of the van. If we run into trouble - is your armor good enough to make it worthwhile just to button up, or should we roll down windows to shoot?
I assume the shotgun seat passenger window rolls down. But I suppose a sunroof is too much to hope for?
spudrocks
Sorry, I missed that part of the post. My bad. I have no problems with anybody in the game and I don't expect to everybody seems to be great. I will revive my earlier posts. I think Whizbang and I would like to be picked up.
spudrocks
OK my two earlier posts are corrected. Sorry about the confusion.
adamu
Great to have you back, Spud. Hope you had a great harvest.
Double the magic, double the fun.
We are heading back to the house right now by the fastest route possible.
JackRipper
which I will leave uneventful so that we can get things back up to speed
HeySparky
I'll get something substantive up soonish about heading us back to the Barrens, but in the mean time I think we should assume that Flame's coming with us since spud indicated that he wanted Flame to go.
JackRipper
Cool, you can be as discriptive as you want (however if you write in a conflict I reserve the right to exploit it...I mean expand on it)
JackRipper
The way to Kingsgate is clear (so that we may move it along)
Ankle Biter
In that case, is it okay to skip forward a bit to where I have broken the node, and done some digging? As I understand it that willbe during the drive. Does anybody have anything that they wish to add before they are off?
HeySparky
We're there. I put us at just before 3am, let me know if that timestamp needs adjusting. And also if the post needs adjusting - I wrote in actions for Flame and Whiz that should be vague enough to be appropriate. Let me know if they need adjusting.
JackRipper
I think you may have captured what they might do rather well
Ankle Biter
Yo, ES_Sparky who's James? nyahnyah.gif

Jack, sorry I didn't timestamp that last one - saw that ES's stamp was on arrival, and didn't want to mess things up.
JackRipper
Its cool, i forget my own rules sometimes.
JackRipper
bump to IC thread as well
adamu
Jack, first, hoping for a quick idea of how you see the Redmond Barrens. I mean, seems like every GM is different, and canon is full of sort of mixed messages about how bad it is. Seems to range from "real bad slum" to "total anarchy perpetual war zone". How about Kingsgate, and what we are seeing around us?

Also, perception test on armaments of these gangers.

Intuition + Perception = 5 dice
1 2 3 4 3 = no idea

Just trying to get a feel for whether it's a good (sends clear message) or bad (provokes trouble) to be hefting the assault rifle around with me in this neighborhood. If it's a toss up on those points, I will take it - better safe than sorry.

Finally, just to see if I know anything about these Rioters....
Intuition + Seattle Street Gangs = 7 dice
6 5 5 6 6 2 6 = 6 successes
JackRipper
Ok, Redmond is all those things but depends on what area you are in. Kingsgate is just off of Touristville so....the assault rifle will be noticed. Kingsgate is a slum not an urban warzone...not yet.


Rioters have lost territory recently (a year ago) when the gangleader got killed. His brother, known as 'the bloke' has stepped up and kept a good portion of their turf theirs. A recent prison releasee (and respected member of the gang) has come back and strengthened them up abit.
spudrocks
hey, I have been absent for a couple weeks rl got in way. I helped farm for a few days, got sick, and eventually went to the hospital. I will be back in business either this weekend or monday. I will read to see what I missed and try a post of two.
adamu
Jack - thanks for the clear info.

Spudroc - welcome back ... and take care of yourself.
spudrocks
I'm back and posted in character. Let me know If I didn't post correctly for Flame.
adamu
Perception test for threats at hotel entrance -
Perception + Intuition + Actively searching = 8 dice

4 2 1 5 3 1 5 1 = 2 successes
Blitz
Will post my woo-ing of the front desk dude tonight...sorry, need to book it to work
Ankle Biter
Back from a gap, wasn't missing, just had a writer's block of legendary proportion. I'm gonna

[ Spoiler ]


If I am out before the hotel bit goes down, then I will go play pinball with their security system.
Blitz
Gencon Time!!!

Ok...not that Ive had much time for posting, but I'll be out of town till Monday. For those of you who'll be there..Cant wait to see y'all again!
spudrocks
Are we still going? I have not heard anything in a while.
adamu
I very much HOPE we are still going. Enjoying this campaign and everyone in it very much....
Cedric Rolfsson
I'm actually waiting to see if Asp punches Flame, I figure that'll be far more interesting than roughing up ANOTHER hooker (since I did such a bang-up job on the last one).
Ankle Biter
I'm still hangin' on a response to my OOC post.
HeySparky
Here!
Blitz
So sorry guys..things have gotten hella crazy over here, but should be getting back to normal (check out my Sex Lies ooc thread for my list of excuses wink.gif)
Blitz
We still playing this game?
Ankle Biter
dunno. If not it would free me the time to start my own one.
adamu
Well, haven't had a GM post since Nov. 3. Haven't seen Jack on any other of his games since around then either....
I really enjoy this game, but not much we can do without a GM....
HeySparky
This game's been quiet a long time. I'm going to respectfully withdraw. See you lot around. It was fun. smile.gif
