With that in mind, we should just go on without the snowmobiles, IMHO.

The trailer will just mean, that we get to a point where we either have to abandon it or park the car, way too early, I think.

With the car alone we should have it easier to get through the mountains and the last part we'll have to go by foot, as originally planned, then. Will make it easier to sneak through, also, as we are less susceptible for sensor detection then.

Thanee

Is that the final decision?

That's where I'm at.

sorry it took so long for me to respond been really busy lately. i think we should rent them because if the snow get''s to bad and i have been looking at the weather channel for the time we are there and what not and seeing as Zion is from this area i think the SUV will probably get stuck well before we get to a point where we can safely get to the RP before we freeze. i mean the orc might be ok but the rest of us would probably freeze over or at least take negatives on all actions due to early symtpoms of hypothermia, the very leat let me rent one and i will follow the team as we go since we are going throught snow banks and there are no plowed roads i will be more then capable to keep up with you guys as long as i get the right equipment, if thats ok with the rest of the team other wise i would suggest that we get enough so we can all go on snowmobiles.

If the snowmobiles can be used from here already, that might work.

Not against the idea with the snowmobiles at all, I just think that the trailer won't really help us getting as far as we want. And if taking them with us (on a trailer) hinders us more than it helps... but if you can get one to accompany us, that would be great, I think.

Snow is on the ground all around. Snow mobiles could be used from town.

Then let's do that (take one snowmobile along with the SUV) and get some fuel canisters, so it has enough range.

Bye
Thanee

sounds good to me lets roll with it, sorry i have been sparatic with my postings i have been busy trying to get internet at my house and BT is actually difficult to use if your bot british lol. snowmobiles would be considered tracked vehicles right?

Tracked vehicles = yes.
Ok - Last chance to post in IC before I post up into the mountain pass or beyond..

I'm thinking Satyr got lost in an English pub.... Or a Welsh one.... Or a Scottish one... Or an Irish one... Or....

sorry i got lost in all the above i couldnt very well make one fell un wanted so i had to visit all of them, never go to new castle they are so dam rude up there no matter what time of season it is. i will start to post more often sorry about that RJ.

I really love the pubs here though lol.

Cedric - Are you still with us?

I assume a water elemental could use movement powers through snow right? Snow is just frozen water so it makes sense to me.

I'm saving the already bound water elemental for later, fresh summoning Water Elemental Rating 3

1 water elemental with Movement power owing one service. Cynic has two boxes of drain which shouldn't add any penalties if I'm looking at this correctly.

RJ please let me know if I'm right so I can do an IC post.

Looks good. Can you edit to contain the Invisible Castle link?
Post away.

I can't find the Invisible Castle area to cut and paste like it used to or I would.

I'm going to be gone at an SCA event from tomorrow until the 18th and won't be posting till the 19th. I'll put up an IC post saying the elemental got us moving again then.

It has a script running to make things easier (thus making them more 'complicated' in a way, since it works different than one is used to).

You just have to click on the link it then copies it for you, so you can come here and paste it. There's a collection of links to copy in the lower section of the result page.

Bye
Thanee

It doesn't appear Cedric got a post in before he left. Anyone want to post before I bump to the next scene?

RJ, I'm heading out in a couple of minutes, I am going to post, but it looks like you've already posted my only thing, getting us moving again. Please feel free to play Cynic for me until I get back on Tuesday next week. He's got two boxes of drain/stun damage which he'll try and recover through rest if possible. I don't believe that has any negative penalties at this point, I think he starts getting penalties at 3 boxes. He's also got his water elemental bound spirit on call if needed.

I'm out of here, I've got court in twenty minutes then right after court I'm off to Sea-Tac then down to AZ for a week of SCA partying, fighting, and fun!

Cedric

Sounds like fun, most of it, anyways. So, have fun!

Thanee

Decisions, decisions....

AFAIK, the plan was (and still is?) to leave the vehicle in Salish-Sidhe territory and cross the border by foot.

At least originally it was said we could hike there...



...a river makes this a little difficult. But the river is probably frozen, so we can simply move over it. Right!?


We do not want to get near Tir border forces at all, either way, so any bridges crossing into Tir territory are out of question.

That leaves... swimming? Could be a bit cold.

Bye
Thanee

Been a week since I've heard from Satyr.. I know he's been having Internet issues since arriving in London... With Cynic out of touch till the 19th, we may be on hold for a few days....?

Yep, let's wait for them.

Bye
Thanee

Ok, Satyr is beginning to worry me. He usually posts in once a week at least.. When Cynic gets back we'll have to twist his arm into a higher post rate...

Okay all I'm back.

I've read the IC post and I'm frankly at a loss.

The columbia river never freezes over, it's huge. At it's narrowest we're still talking about a relatively long crossing. I'm of the opinion we scope out one of the bridges. If we can hack into the security cam and it's only one guy then I could use my Control Thoughts spell to maybe get us through.

If we're crossing the river we're looking at stealing a boat. Swimming is out of the question, the water would be freezing and we'd never be able to make it all the way across.

There is also a dam at the Dalles we could hit but I believe that is East of our current location.

If we steal a boat I could use more water elemental summoning to help.

Has Cynic recovered any from the drain? Do you want me to roll that?

You are fully recovered from drain. Plenty of time since the summonings.

whats up yall sorry to keep yall waiting, i get a much more reliable internet saturday so i will gladly keep up with all posts after saturday.

So what is the plan? stealing a boat and using concealment or illusion spells sounds like the best plan at present.

hi yall just wanted to say i have internet at my house now and im good to go and can keep up with the posting once again and not fall behind sorry about that guys and gals. as for the plan i laid it out in the IC post.

Welcome back everyone! Feel free to post up in IC and move us forward there as well. If you have any questions, just drop them here and I will fill in any details.

We are getting to the point where someone just needs to make a command decision and post that up in IC.

Well, I'm for using a boat, rented, bought or otherwise.

Bye
Thanee

boat is cool. im down for just about anything at this point im just sorry you guys were waiting on me for a while there.

Thanee/Cedric - What do you think?

Well, spirit patrols nix using magic to get past. I say, if we can't create an ID that justifies our border crossing then we steal a boat. With more time maybe we could hijack a semi and put the SUV in the trailer but I'd need hours to ward the trailer to prevent spirits from checking us out.

I'm out of ideas other than the boat. Let's see if we can 'borrow' one from the hatchery.

Yep, can we get some info about possible boat obtaining places, legal or otherwise?

Aeryn will first check for possible shops in Carson and see if we can simply buy a cheap one there, as said in my last IC post (last but one now)...

Bye
Thanee

Posted info in IC. If you need more, let me know.

Anyone can make the choice of where to get a boat and how much to pay.

Though I would like to note: You have a coffin to take with you.

Satyr, Cedric

I feel like Thanee and I are pulling this game along. If you guys are no longer able to commit to posting once a week, let me know. In either case, I would like to move this game along at a faster rate. If you're able to keep posting, we'll move along normally. If not, I'll wrap this up quickly and move Aeryn into another game.

Please let me know.
-Redjack

im still with it redjack i just have been a little busy with the whole training thing lately, ill start to post more often i just didn't want to be a post hog in a sort and take away from anyone else postin before i did.

I need some details. Are you taking the snow mobiles or stashing? Sounds like a pair of inflatable rafts from the outfitters? For another 50 you can get a pump to inflate, deflate the rafts. Where will you stash the suburban (and snow mobiles) before the trip across the river?

You can post the answers either in IC or OOC and I will post up.

I'm still following along, I can commit to posting at least once per week that shouldn't be a problem. I would note that I just got notice of a new post today rather than when you posted four days ago. Sorry about that, I'll make a point of checking even without getting a notice.

Click on My Controls in the upper right.
Find Subscriptions on the left menu. Click on View Topics, directly under that.
Scroll down and find the two Puyallups #2 game threads. Click on the checkbox on the far right, across from each.
Scroll to the bottom, select Change to: Immediate Email Notification from the drop list and click on With Selected.

This will send you immediate email notification of posts in those threads, instead of delayed.

Sorry, have been a lil busy lately... checking back in tomorrow with more IC details.

Bye
Thanee

I now seem to be getting timely email notifications and am tracking.

Awesome! Then let's rock!

I will be posting way up today, though I have a pretty rough schedule so it may be late tonight.

no prob RJ im glad we are back at it.

Ok post is up. I'd like to get back to at least one post per week, twice if you can swing it. Feel free to post your thoughts for strategy/movements/planning in OOC and I will use that to move the story along. I would also appreciate a little more details in the planning where possible and I will work to provide verbose posts to better pull you into the scene. Please feel free to note in OOC where the scene is not clear or not clear enough. Any specifics you provide would be appreciated!

Should I summon another water elemental with Movement power ot help us across the river?
