Ok guys, when we move in, I can use one mountain spirit to conceal us, and the other to grant us movement, so we will move very fast. Once in the compound, I can sumon the Rock Gnome (so bad) and have him start trashing stuff. I will use the other 2 spirits to assist in spell defense of the party, while the other to shamanic adepts kick trash and take names.
Sound good?

You notice that there is something...odd.... about the manasphere about and under the site. Probably just be a high background count from the battle.

Sounds good, just one question:
Are we approaching from the north or south?
moosegod
Dec 5 2003, 09:47 PM
The ravine is to the south.
moosegod
Dec 5 2003, 09:48 PM
Anyways- work this in how you want
The windows are all darkened and/or mirrored so that you cannot get a clear look inside of the building. All the notes given to you buy the commander seem up to date.

We need to approach from the north, the ravine is just to obvious of an entry point, they WILL have it guarded. Besides with all the ruthyium, and spirits, we should not have a problem.

So any details on my scouting and Perception Tests beyond "knowing that Civil Engineering is of no use?"
moosegod
Dec 6 2003, 12:26 AM
The building probably dates back to the turn of the century. It is in disrepair, but the structure is still very sound. It looks like it was engineered to a high level of stability.
Ol' Scratch
Dec 6 2003, 12:28 AM
So that's all I get from aerial recon and a closer look on foot? Is that it looks like a sound structure?
Grey
Dec 6 2003, 12:31 AM
So there isn't anyone outside of the buildings?

Well, anything specific you want?
I said earlier the windows were either mirrored or darkened, making it difficult, if not impossible, to see inside.
And there is no one outside.

Possible weak and/or blind spots, good places to plant some bombs to eliminate outside threats, good places for an ambush (both to have one setup against us and one to setup against them), entrance ways, unusual oddities in the astral about the area (such as if I recognize any of those aforementioned manawarps), etc.
You know, basic scouting information.
moosegod
Dec 6 2003, 12:43 AM
Ambush locations- well, it's in sort of a shallow bowl, due to the surrounding hills, so, not much. Mines are unlikely, unless this site has been used before. After all, the smugglers took cover here under pursuit. Mana warp appears to be centered around the west wing of the building, but covering the whole site.

We'll wait a while before I post the results of this.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you to remember all his eye stuff. I'll post what he does next depending on what those rolls get me.

The shattered glass came from the west wing of the building.
Someone has stuck their arm out and is waving a white pair of... underwear? and screaming incoherently.
Tanka

OK... Maybe I shouldn't have looked...
Now how to respond in character...

Dedicating three dice and three pool to shielding on the NCO and whoever else appears most exposed (ie, at the front end). Not that I think it'll help, but it seems like a good SOP.
HMHVV Hunter
Dec 8 2003, 04:06 AM
Tinker, who exactly (names) are you cloaking?
TinkerGnome
Dec 8 2003, 12:48 PM
Hawkwind, Wolfbrother, and Eagle Eyes are the mundanes, so I'll dedicate shielding to them. There isn't a good list of code names and characters, really, so that's my best guess (there should be 3 mundanes, though, which are getting the shielding).

Rolling attack on the turret.
Pull Bows + 6 Combat Pool: 08 02 03 08 01 02 14 02 04 03 21 04
It should be diffeculty 3. 4 standard -1 from smartlink. Thats 8 successes. Base damage is 13S.

Hmm, so I guess the fact that Laughing-Snow speaks Spanish fluently isn't going to be any help, either? Just in case, his rolls are:
Spanish: 11 5 2 2
And if he's using an Aztlander dialect, add in: 9 3.
moosegod
Dec 9 2003, 12:55 AM
No, he was screaming and shouting so much you could barely understand him.
As he cools down, you hear the word Invae said several times. He still is straining at your grip to get away.
TinkerGnome

The medic will take the time to assense him, as well. There'll be a diagnose spell in the guy's future if the NCO orders me to treat him.
Assensing roll: 05 05 05 15 02 02
