63.1kg

And remember you can only carry upto 5xStr in kgs before you start getting exhaustion penalties...

Is there something we can do about those bullet weights? Carrying clips on you, no matter how many, should not put the same level of strain on a person as carrying a 150 pound block.

I've seen enough different arguments on the boards to know that they aren't realistic. cut the weights in half.

With redundancies for the gear that Herne also has: 21kg.

(Bows, arrows, swords, camo are the bulk of it)

Herne may have to pitch in and carry some stuff if I can't off load it onto one of you guys. I'm only good up to 15kg.

Crowbar (1kg)
Remington 990 (4kg)
Survival Knife (.75kg)

Bola Rounds x100 (5kg)
Flare Rounds x10 (.5kg)
Shock Lock Rounds x20 (.75kg)
Stun Shell Rounds x100 (2.5kg)

Ultrasound Goggles
Camo Jacket (3.5kg)
Form Fitting Body Armor (1.25kg)

Metal Restraints x3 (1.5kg)
Plasteel Restraints x3

Personal Comm Unit

Total: 20.75kg + Comm Unit's weight

I can probably load a bit more, but I don't particularly feel like pushing it.

Total weight: 47.7 kilos or so.

Should only take a Light Stun wound (Strength is 5).

If we are being smuggled, why do we need to smuggle the gear seperately? I thought the only reason we were smuggling our gear was because we were planning on moving ourselves legally. Can't our gear come with us now?

I want to have the weights and content ready for the pilot if he asks. If we needed to transpo-- if we fly back with Ballefour, we should probably make sure 9 passengers will do --rt stuff that would greatly increase risk to the pilot or our fuel prices, say, I'd rather the government pick up the tab.

Ecc--I don't see a reason it couldn't...remember, if you smuggle the gear either on your person or otherwise, many countries won't take kindly to your use of it...

Ok, let me see if I have this straight:

We're hiking a few miles to the smuggler's plane, then flying on that plane to NYC. Am I right, or am I missing something?

A few (15 to be exact) miles through the OU, board the plane, try not to get shotdown land in NYC or thereabouts and continue the chase

What's the OU?

Ork Underground

Oh ok.

OK, total 48.95kg.

AVS, G38, ammo, clothing, backpack, some food, miscellaneous stuff.

Strength 10 = 50kg.

Oh, heh, food. Tack on some extra kg, most likely.

So I may have 2kg left, maybe more, depending on the weight of the comm unit.

Anybody have Nutrition/Fast? That'd be handy.

Bumped to the release, everyone post what they are carrying to NYC if you have not already. Let's roll out.

Uh...I didn't loot Edana's apartment. I thought we were getting our gear from our places to haul along; I thought I was in my own house.

We've been at my place since the ritual. No change of venue.

A mistake then. We're at my place. We can break to gather gear and meet up before rolling out.


McQ (or anybody else), where's the best place to start our hike?

Sparky--Sorry, I was writing the abbreviated version. You have instructions for an address that has the entrance to the OU where a guide will meet you. He'll take you through the OU and let you out at the far end, there you will board the plane and head out.

Got it.

I've got a headache, I'll add all the weight up later.

You kids and your fancy toys. Pah! Why, back in my day...

Wait, I'm not Charlie, heh.

I can't drive the Brumby offroad out to the plane? They are better offroad than onroad.

Oh... hey. Good call. But... I'm not sure I want to leave it out in the wilderness or at the hangar or wherever.

McQ? Any provision for parking vehicles where we meet the plane?

Even if it means leaving them in the middle on nowhere, thats what high rating security systems are for.

We're meeting people in the wilderness with planes. What would keep them from flying the vehicles away.

The whole thing about hiking through the OU is the problem...If you want to bring vehicles and leave them out where you are getting picked up, then you need to call the contact, arrange that, and pfigure out how much cargo capacity the vehicles have in comparisaon to what you all want to bring.

Edited my IC post.

hooray---com is up, internet is up, the world again is a happy place!

McQ-- I'm bringing previously stated gear on page 19 weighing a whopping 14.85kg including my rebreather, plus the following gear:

Kane (complete with leash)
backpack for gear
a few changes of clothes
a couple bottles of water
some food
some doggie food as well
battle tach (from bishop)


++++have three more breathers, cant remember who took them, but incase i have extra someone take them+++++++

*yoink*

Tack on a breather!

Tiny also currently has one, though the strap is too tight, and you're fairly sure it's supposed to cover both the nose and the mouth not just one of the two...

Tiny...use some duct tape to make it fit

damb wondered why the cable ties are not working...

So team are you rolling out?

Sparky--Were you going to try and get a way to be able to drive out there or was everyone doing the hike?

Bastard/Johnson--Two Words--"Troll Modified..."

McQ- Duct tape can modify anything

Bastard--how much duct tape would it take to accomodate for the mark-up? I'll let you tape it to Johnson and use duct tape as your medium of covering the Troll Mod, but just count the number of rolls of tape you'd have to use...

Sparky--Remember you guys are hiking through the OU unless you arrange to meet the contact via car. You do not have an address for the meet, only the place to go so you can drop into the underground and meet the guide to take you through.

McQ -- I'm still fuzzy on this. I thought the OU was the part of Seattle that is physcially underground (the Seattle Underground is a real subterranean area in the real world, I'm not just being obtuse). Can you clarify where this meeting is and what the current arrangements are. With directions and details and all that.

Not where we'll end up after the hike - the first part where we meet - where it is in the city or in relation to my place. That kind of thing. I'm just vague on the details, understanding that I'm probably supposed to be a little vague.

If we can take the cars I'd like to, but I'm sketchy on where we'd be leaving them, what contact to arrange with and all that. I'm just sorta lost.

Sparky--You are going to go to the corner of West 17th and Adams St. From there, a guide will meet you and take you into the underground, probably through a combination of subways, sewers, and subterranean passages. This guide is taking you for fifteen miles through all of that to location unknown where you get to climb out, board an airplane and run the blockade.

The meet with the guide is about 5 miles from your place, so you could take a taxi, drive there, whatever. The notion of driving out to the plane was brought up by Eccy. For that to happen you have to call the contact that Townsend connected you with, the smuggler, and arrange with him where you would be leaving the vehicles and where to meet him.

Hope that clarifies!

What the hell is an air cab?

It's what those folks with luxury lifestyles use...private helicopters that come and get you and taxi you from place to place...

Seattle Hoppers is actually an established company that caters to professionals needing secure transit and has been known to do the occasional hot extraction of local Shadow talent for the appropriate fees.

OK, guys, anytime you are ready. Grave's ready to move out.

Me too

Yeah, but what are you ready to do? Hike or drive?

I vote hike.

I'll have to cut way down on my gear if we hike, but I'll go with majority.

Hike, too conspicuous otherwise.
