Haha. So far, so good.

Alrighty.

I am combining feeds from the cameras with the floor plans of the building to create an interactive map of the building. Green circles are us, anyone not us are red x's. As long as someone is within sight of the security cameras, they will be on the overlay.

A digital overlay map of the building filters into the groups commlinks. They see the building is under construction. There are two large studios on the second and third floors.

On the second floor is the elf with the pony tail. He is in a rear studio, the one not facing the front of the building. The studio has one couch, two bed mattresses, blankets, and a medium sized fridge. There is also a small desk with an Ares Predator on it. The elf is in the process of putting on an armored military jacket. His lined duster is laying over the coach. In the corner there is a heavy backpack, you can't make out what is inside.

The other studio on the second floor is under construction. There are a few tools such as a hammer and a mono-chainsaw. There are also many wooden planks, bricks, and plasticreet materials.

Third Floor. The portly elf is sitting at a desk in the near studio on the third floor. There is a Defiance t-250 Shotgun laying on the wall beside him. He is still wearing his business suit from the restaurant. It looks like he is in the process of shredding some documents. The camera is on the desk next to him. Against the door to the studio is a large dresser, blocking the entrance and exit.

All rooms into the building have windows.

The rear studio is empty.

The structure ratings of the walls around you are. 4/5. (Average Material).

Any questions. Feel free to ask me. There is a break in combat, so ignore the last initiative rolls that I placed for everyone.

Everyone has a chance to act and plan. The elves are also planning.

@Remmus. Please resolve the elf's attack on you.

Roll reaction with a threshold of two.

If you do not hit the threshold, resolve damage with body + Ballstic armor. Damage for the attack is 7P.

was suppose to post this morning however invisiblecastle.com server is down, I could roll with IRL dices if you feel you trust that enough or know another dice rolling page you trust.

Hey Remmus. I do trust you.

You can either roll real life dice or wait until Invisible Castle is back up.

So, wait? Portly elf is using paper documents?

Ew.

I am going to send my flyspy up to the third floor, and try to take pictures of the documents that Portly is shredding before they get shredded. The drone will stay near the roof of the room, and out of sight.

Also, does the document shredder have a node associated with it, and is it connected to the master building node?

@Nightfalke.

The main node does have access to the shredder, so you may shut off the device. When you send the Spydrone up, you cannot get a good view of the documents. He is almost done shredding everything and his body is blocking the view.

@Remmus.

Make a based infiltration test. I will be adding dice to his perception test because he is on alert.

Feel free to roll your results and post them in this thread. And in my next IC post, you'll find out the results.

Ok. I will mess with the shredder, but I want to cause the shredder to think it has a paper jam, giving him an error, and forcing him to attempt fix said "jam". Just shutting it off will arouse suspision that he's being hacked. A paper jam is a more common occurance, and shouldn't alarm him as much. And hopefully he will be so annoyed by the jam and trying to fix it that he will not be as attentive to the sneaking sam coming up the stairs?

Hacking + spoof?

ok here is my infiltration roll

Hacking plus spoof sounds good.

Hacking (4) + Spoof (5) = 9 dice

Using rpgp.org/dice ---> 3 hits.

Hi guys.

Did some editing on post number 95. I wanted to reward Icarus for his creativity. Instead of being alert and armed. Gibbons is now frustrated and working on the shredder and completely oblivious to what is going on.

The shotgun is now in the corner, away from him. There is still the manner of the dresser in front of the door.

Thanks!

Honestly, though, having dealt with too many paper jams in my life...I totally would have taken a shotgun to the thing.

I assume the dresser is to big to be kicked into the room threw the doorway

I'll allow for some cinematic storytelling.

You can kick the door and dresser down with a Body plus strength test with a threshold of four. (Teamwork test is allowed. Meaning if Icarus or Babel want to lend a hand by kicking the door down with you, then they would make a roll to kick the door down. Any successes they have add to your dice pool.)

If you succeed, you will have a surprise attack on Gibbons equal to a charging attack with a plus 2 modifier to the attack roll.

Hi guys.

I'll have a post resolving Red-Wolf's actions regarding the Portly Elf sometime tonight.

I am in the process of finalizing the post, and writing out in detail what you find in the room.

-Cheers.

Agape.

PS - Any questions feel free to post them!

did a pumping rock song start from out of nowhere as wolf kicks down the dresser? :3

What is outside the window that Lysander is going towards? Fire escape? Empty alley? Their car?

@Babel and Everyone. Forgot to add this is my previous post

Anyone firing through the door or wall into Lysander's studio will suffer a minus three to their roll, and the armor rating off the attack will add to Lysander's soak damage. In return if he is firing back at you, he will suffer a -6.

@Icarus.

-The window has no fire escape. And leads into an empty alley way. Their car is outside. I forget what the model is. (Ford something, I have to refer back to the IC post.)

-There is also a trid screen that is on attatched to one of the walls. It is currently playing a anime. "Vampire Hunter D - 5547 AD." The telescreen is attatched to the main node that you have hacked into.

I was thinking more the musical score for the Nutcraker Prince.

Or a musical version of Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow." With no sound other then the music. Ala the 90's movie "Face Off."

perfect, then Icarus can just change it a really dirty hentai to distract the elf :3

One last question... How disgusting and gory is the scene with Portly Elf? Pretty bad?

*looks at the AR tumble weed as they passes*

Alright. I'm going to assume that Wolf desembowled Portly elf and it's a bloddy mess in there, and take my action.

So I'm hoping Babel and I can get an assist in an intimidation skill check by Wolf looking all badass on the screen. So I will hold off on making my intimidation roll until then.

Sorry to disapear. 36 hours of work in three days makes jack a fragged boi.

plan sounds good. Ill give him a good spiel and try to be the nice guy.

edit: not sure what to roll. I got 2 dice in negotiations and a 3 cha.. will definitly throw edge in the way Im rolling.

Anybody seen a GM lately?

*starts putting up posters with Sincere's face on them*

Sorry. I have been away for the past week. Real life and work has hit me in the face pretty hard.

I might need to place this game on hold for a bit in order to get my bearings and priorities in life straightened out. I'll keep you guys updated.

Take all the time you need. Thanks for the update, and I hope everything works out!

I wish you the best of luck

kinda glad for the pause myself. RL is a little bat shit lately. family car down(head gasket 1800$) business van down(fuel pump 800$) supplier draws payment on acct three days early leaving a -560$ balance. I love being in business for myself.*twitch,twitch* really I do...
