Re: OOC: General Chat
Yep, there's an open X-File on me...
Not a problem, good to know that things are progressing in the background still.
I want to run some of my ideas for progressing past you both.
I think our first priority has to be to get some decent information about these attacks. So far were going off newspaper articles and local news (neither known for unbiased, factual info), so I think we might benefit from canvassing the locals, buying some drinks, making some friends.
ie. some Gather Information checks. I've got a +13 bonus in Gather Info, so I'd suggest I take the lead on this task, with you two aiding me.
That might turn up some info about these attacks that the news didn't mention.
I think the second source of information we could try and tap would be local law enforcement. I doubt they're going to just give us some info, so we'll need a plan to get it. I see our options being:
1) Trying to talk them into giving it to us (either bluffing or just being persuasive or bribing them). I don't think this is too likely to work, but we could try it.
2) Breaking into the police station at night to sneak a look at their files, and take some copies - I've got a digital camera, so we could take pictures of the files to refer back to later. If the locals are better equipped than I'm expecting (ie. computers rather than paper files), I think Toby was quite good at that sort of thing, right?
3) Hiring someone local to steal the files for us. This would limit danger to us in the present, but could cause major problems in the future. Also, stealing police files is probably a tad too criminal for the Company's liking.
Any Thoughts/Suggestions?
