It extended through the weekend unfortunately.

I will be getting caught up though and posting later tonight.

Please remind me what a 'surprise test' is ...
and how do I know if I have 'awareness' ?

The surprise test is Initiative dice + anything from awareness (Perception test). Since we know who's coming and where he is, we're getting 3 dice for awareness to the test.

Thanks Ell for answering that.  It's turned into a busy week.

Working on getting some quick posts out for everyone.

Yes, thanks Ell.   Sorry, I had meant to say so earlier.

No worries...

Sorry, post got eaten.  Jack is looking for a target.  Is there a light fixture I can shoot out, or is they guy my best target?  Do I even see him from my position?

There are no working lights around the condo.  Most of the street lights have been shot out and it is fairly early yet for any of those that do work to be on.  So in effect the guy is currently your best target if you still intend to take a shot.

Worried about their exit avenue... Ell is taking her shot at the window dressing.

Have in-game posts drifted into the OOC chat?

Not really.  There may be an issue with CFD though.  :P

CFD?

How long are you giving a player to respond to a post?

Cognitive Fragmentation Disorder.

Depending on my own speeds I do tend to like to give people a bit.  Usually no more than week.  However since we are coming off a large absence of my own and speed really picked up, I will give until Saturday for absent players to post.

Thanks.  I will need to look that up.

 I know that Lock is not in charge of making deals here for the team, so just want to be sure, his thought of talking it out as a group is out of bounds for the team?.
 He was just fitting the image to the situation. Radar is a good 'Face' for the team but maybe each member could have a word to drop about the mission...though i dont think we really have a choice, regardless of what they said.

I'm out of town for the weekend.  I should be able to resume posting come Monday.

In reply to Lock (msg # 73):

In the current situation, all team members could jump in with their thoughts, and those that want to stay more out of the lime light could just add their 2 cents on the private chat for Radar to bring up.  Radar did mention in that last post monitoring the private chat.  That chat is about as private as the team is going to get, and Extra information about the job before/during the discussion would be good.  Unless I slipped, Radar was making no commitments yet.  Just asking for more details about what the team would be up against.

As far as choice, meta-gaming, even if Cheryl is willing to let us walk, it could end up being difficult getting to see the big H.

 Yes, if we can even do the mission requested. Like you mentioned, how big the object is?, how far we have to transport it. So, payment should be equal to the risk..and having either or both groups pissed off at us, does not sound enjoyable.

Sorry had a live demo game at a local game store tonight and just got in a little while ago.  Posts will be out at some point between now and Monday as I have another demo on Sunday.

Since the sun is almost coming up here, I'd like to be unconscious before that happens.  That said, there is a post coming in answer to Lock's initial question which I just did not have time to get to with last minute prep for the event.

PM

I'll be out-of-town after tomorrow. Going to GenCon this year.

 Hmmm, ok. Seeing as we are being offered the job(like the godfather..I am going to make you an offer you cant refuse). What are they offering as inducement to do their dirty work and being a possible scape goat if it goes wrong.

 Once we find out where it might be or is hidden, then yes i can get into the location, i have found that getting in is often the easiest, getting out is another story.

 I trust the others to have a very rapid means of moving the object to where it needs to taken to and to be acknowledged as having done the quest.

 Small question, are we to throw suspicion onto another leader of the other native group?, i ask knowing that we are trying to stop a turf war in Cheyenne.

That's why we're waiting for Fearless Leader to respond with more info in character.

As it sounds, we just need to get whatever it is back. We let the locals wonder who did what.

And leave town before somebody annoyed figures it out :)

Enjoy! Give us a rundown when you get back!  :D
