I would do that, except for the fact the snow has a layer of ice beneath it, it's now night, and I'm not wanting to be anywhere near that thing when it comes down.

Good call. grinbig.gif

And where oh where oh where is Shadow?
Ol' Scratch
I think he was grabbed up by some lesbian Nazi hookers who then proceeded to force him into a weight-loss program. Lucky twerp.
Morgannah
I think you need help, Doc. And not the lesbian Nazi hooker kind, either....

He's playing BloodRayne?
Ol' Scratch
Actually, I stole the line from "Weird" Al Yankovic's UHF. But you didn't hear that from me. But c'mon... lesbian Nazi hookers are always cool.

I knew I heard that someplace before!

Originality is an overrated trait.

Anyone know what happened to Shadow? He seems to have fallen off the planet again.
Ol' Scratch
He mentioned something about being sick yesterday. He's probably just being a punk and staying home from work to play City of Heroes or something. Damn gaming addicts.

*peeks out of Fallout 2*

Gaming addicts? I don't see any!
Shadow
Sorry for the absence guys. I suffer from chronic headaches and migraines. Yesterday and the day before was the pinnacle of pain and suffering for me. All better now though, as you see I have already posted!

Sphynx? Lizard? Island? What?

Sphynx, your watcher (nor you) detect anything larger then a lizard on the island.

Wrong threat Shadow. I guess those headaches are still rolling?

Try posting that in the Ghosts game. wink.gif
Fortune
Welcome back Shadow. I can totally sympathize with you you about the migraines.
Shadow
Thanks.... and why the hell hav you not posted IC? smile.gif
Raiko
He's probably still in shock, I am.

Perception check on the map for any clues as to locale, or any other relevant info.

Perception (Intelligence): 15 10 08 05 04 04 03 03

Stealth complimentary: 03 02 01 01 eek.gif
Ol' Scratch
Note to self: Don't rely on Danny for stealth missions.
Fortune
His Stealth is specialized ... but not in Alertness. biggrin.gif

Besides, for real stealth there is always Magic! wink.gif
Shadow
All who are doing an astral recon of some sort detect a very obvious ward on the walls, ceiling and floor. It is strong enough to keep out all but the most determined intruders.
Shadow
The map is of the southern hemisphere of the world, earth.
Ol' Scratch
Earth? EARTH?! We're not qualified to do anything on Earth!
Fortune
No nifty little map pins or circled locaions or anything like that?
Fortune
Oh, and as a matter of interest in general ...

Morganna(h) is having access problems, but hopefully that won't last very long.
Shadow
You mean, no big arrows pointing at writting in blood that proclaim,

"Here there be dragons! aaarrrr!"

No, nothing like that.
Ol' Scratch
Well what kind of a crappy map is it then? This joker's offering a billion creds, and that's the best he could do? Pfft.
Fortune
Damn! biggrin.gif

Here's my attempt to break through the masking (if you'd rather roll, since it's supposed to be a "secret" roll, feel free).

Busted! Shame on you for looking at private rolls between player and GM. I feel so violated now. <sobs>

You should know by now that I have a Willpower of 1! biggrin.gif

If someone offered you one billion to kill a dragon and the only dragon worth that much you can name is called Lofwyr, wouldn't you naturally assume it was him?
Shadow
Sabo, please edit your posts and remove the sigs
Shadow
My thinking is thus: Hes offering you 1bil, he is saying you need to kill a GD. Does the location of the dragon or anything else he has to say, really affect wether you take the job or not?
Ol' Scratch
Yes, mostly because of the "too good to be true" hesitation. OOC, duh, we'd be stupid not to take it. But IC, some dude coming out of nowhere, with no name we recognize, offers us an insane amount of cash to kill a dragon he has yet to name is pretty "why the frag should I do this?"ish.
Shadow
Well to me, the reason I would, or would not, take the job, would have to do with what the job is about and how much I am geting paid.

Killing a Great Dragon is going to be such an unbelvably hard job to begin with, that I would take it or not take it on that merrit alone. I mean, are you really going to fret over his name and exact location? Would knowing either of those (assuming it is not Lofwyr) really sway you on wether to kill him or not?

Does that make any sense?
Fortune
Thanks for the welcome Shadow! nyahnyah.gif

As for the money, that wouldn't be Danny's prime (or even secondary) motivation ... no matter how high the offer. I would have liked a little more info on why said dragon is considered 'anti-metahuman', but I can understand the Johnson's reluctance to impart more preliminary data than necessary.

:stabs the sig:

Done.

Money is not a concern, considering my guy is pretty much set up for life. But, some guy comes out of nowhere and offers him the highest pay he has ever recieved for a job to kill a great dragon. It's pretty much as Doc Funk said.

If it's not Lofwyr, that means it's less likely to have an entire Megacorporation as a private playtoy and Johnny is more likely to actually live long enough to get the rest of the money.

Reason that a name could definitely sway somebody is who they are.

Example: Lofwyr has all of SK under his wings (literally). One word and they'll be there to protect his scaly ass.

Sorry, edited to reflect it.
Fortune
The same could pretty much be said about any (named) Great Dragon, whether that organization be the Yakuza, Triads, or Corporate. Loffy isn't the only Great with Corp backing.
Sabosect
Thus, part of why knowing the dragon's name is so important.
Fortune

His name is Fred. Fred the Great Dragon.
