Shadow: Which guard did you guys try to go for, the one you know of or the one that you can guess is probably located at the other end of the external-to-the-ward hallway?

The guy who keeps calling to be relived, I thought he was the one guarding the external door.

Right -- there are a potential of two gaurds that could be calling for Max. One that Lynx saw and another one at the other end of the hall, assuming they have people covering both entrences to the more "secure" section of the building. You want a 50/50 shot, let me know if you want to call heads or tails and I'll just flip a coin This image shows the guard you know about (on the left side of the secure hallway at the top) and the the one you can assume is there but you haven't confirmed (on the right across from the other).

We will take the guard we know of.

Sounds good. Corbin's roll of the a few posts ago is good enough to grab him. I'll post IC after work

Posted. Hopefully we're back on track now. Rolled stealth, perception, and a few opposed strength checks for Trace and Corbin as necessary. Suffice it to say apparently my guard was almost asleep when you guys creeped up behind him .

Tinker -- didn't mean to put words in your mouth but it was just too hard to resist

Dash, I'm picturing Lynx as really nervous right now, so her eyes are most likely wandering over everything in sight trying to come up with a solution. I'd like to roll perception to see if there's any ventilation grates in the ceiling that we could get into.

Perception: 10 05 05 03 03 02

There's a drop ceiling, you don't know what's above that.

It's been a while, does Ikarus know how many guards there are supposed to be?

K.

strength test: 11,5,5,4,3,2,1,1

I don't know what the TN is, but I think that should be enough to lift her up.

Yup. Soluna: you have security procedures or security systems background knowledge? If so, roll them. If not, roll Intelligence. Thanks!

Thanks.

I'm off on vacation till the 15th. I might have access, and I might not. That might matter... and it might not.

Okay, I'll NPC you as best I can. Sound good?

Perception for looking into the ceiling: 08 05 05 04 02 01

Hmm..good thing we didn't go in that way. Intelligence check to see if I know what it is in character: 10 05 05 04 04 01. Should I roll athletics or anything like that to climb up in there? What I'm thinking is that if my character puts together what it is, she'll go up into the ceiling and a) see if she can disconnect the pipe and b) see if she can follow the ceiling the rest of the way into the "vault."

If only I had brought some superglue and some toothpicks...

Don't forget the duct tape MacGuyver :o)

MacGuyver, no, but I have been accused of being his love child

Soluna: they're probably some form of chemical vats -- maybe an epoxy or something that has to be kept seperate to keep it safe or stable? Judging by the nozzle leading into the room you think is a chokepoint, you're paranoia tells you it's got to be bad news.

You could climb to the vats above the drop ceiling, but you can't make it to the vault. The walls extend from the floor to the actual ceiling. Give me two athletics tests followed by an electronics b/r and an electronics test. the athletics are to climb into the ceiling and them move to the vats. Then the electornics b/r to handle the vats and electronics to disable them somehow. I'll use as many of the rolls as I need.

Ok, Athletics 1: 05 05 04 01 Athletics 2: 04 02 02 01 Quickness (in case I fall): 05 03 03 03 02 02 02 01 01 Electronics b/r: 04 03 02 01 Electronics: 05 05 05 03 02 01

One more athletics test to get back out of the ceiling assuming I got in: 04 03 03 01

What's the lock on the chokepoint door like? Is it the same maglock handprint?

Yup.

Hey guys, I'm going to be out for this weekend, I don't know whether I will have internet access or not, but starting Friday morning my access will be doubtfull.

Please feel free to NPC my character as needed until Monday, after that I'll be "back in the saddle again".

Something is just striking me as odd with the bumps

The texturized walls remind you of the way the soles of shoes are texturized to increase friction between the shoe and the floor -- so it grips better.

So, something runs along the walls. does it go floor to ceiling?

Hey Dash, I'm on a school computer so I don't have the dice roller. If you get this just roll perception for me if you want to keep things moving. If it doesn't matter then I'll post the roll when I get back to my room at 11pm tonight. Whatever works. Thanks!

Dang. Wish we could moderate our own threads. Soluna, hun, there's no card reader this time.

What direction does the wall curve?

It's a rectangular hallway:

Do these have that funky sensor type feel?

This is the room with the Elemental right?

Oh damn, missed that part. Anyway, got thru so all good. Perception for peeking thru the door: 11 08 05 05 05 04

We should just stick to the plan, Slash and Corbin rush in hard. I will follow dealing with the elemental and then we take the money.

I know this whole job stinks but I think were about through it.

Stinks as in there is something fishy going on.

stinks like quite rotten fish actually, although Slash has no idea about it, he's itching for the combat.

I... live... sort of.

Is this the time when the two sams/bricks run in and do their thing or would doing that be jumping the gun?

Well that's okay then. Considering something fishy is up, but this is only the first run of a larger campaign I wrote so you don't have enough information to know what kinda fish I'm dishing up at the moment

Yes, now would be the time that sams could run in and start to mess up the world for the two people in the room.

Also, I'm on vacation from work from now until the 30th (whee!!) so I'm probably going to be down to one or two checks of the DSF while I'm out rather than every 2 hours or so like I do when I need a break from programming. Just fair warning

Oh, dash. Meant to ask you. Any plans on a combat TN generator? I have an excel spreadhseet that does a decent job, thought I'd donate it to you to use as a basis. if you're interested, send me a PM and I'll email it quick fast and in a hurry.

Stealth! 15 10 05 04 03 03 01
Big pluses to visual and thermo TNs.

Intention is to get in close and fire off two quick taser rounds, one at each.

Reaction: 07 05 05 05 05 04 02 02 02 01 01 01
Initiative: 05 03 03 + 12 = 23

Two shots, 3 CP each. Laser sight will help with the TN (it's been so long since I opened a SR book that I can't do it in my head like I used to )

Shot 1: 16 10 09 07 04 02 02 01 01
Shot 2: 16 09 09 05 04 03 02 02 01

I do live and will get back to TinkerGnome's posts Tuesday afternoon (I'm not at my laptop right now so I don't remember what I rolled for the guys in the room. I don't think they see you but I want to be sure). The shots are more thant good enough to hit, however.
