Qu'elle drag! As we say here.

Reminds me of when I was let go from eBay, just a telephone call.

That is bollocks. A very annoying situation. Also reminds me of the time i went into work and they got confused because they were meant to tell me to not come in again.



Planning can take a long time too. So maybe it will not ave started yet.

Posse,

The components for this spell are the hair from a young girl, a caterpillar cocoon and a small patch of lizard skin, and if trying to mimic someone in particular something personal (preferably hair, skin cells, nail clippings, blood, etc.) is needed. TN 5 to get most components, so 5 hours to gather materials -1 hour per each raise Scrounge.

Transformation is TN 5 (Academia: Witchcraft) to cast. lasts for 1 hour plus another for each Raise when cast.

Tony

Do we have enpugh time to do this before he kills some one else

In reply to Rowan Dawson (msg # 753):

The base time is 5 hours, you have about 3 before sunset. However, if Smoker rolls really well (at least a couple raises) then the time could be reduced enough.

Tony

What do you want me to roll?

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 755):

A Salvage/Scavenge roll. TN 5. It would be best to make at least 2 "raises" (15 or higher).

Tony

Scuttles off to die roller...

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 757):

Sorry I have not been online for a while, real life has gotten in the way.  I am going to catch up on what I have missed.

In reply to Sgt. Ian Sullivan (msg # 758):

No worries, glad to see you back!

To catch everyone up, the party returning from Boise with Aiken's sword spotted a group of Destroyers led by a lesser Anti-Templar hiding out in at Jerome's airport to the west of Skeleton Butte, presumably waiting to ambush Simon and his entourage on their way to challenge Modeen on Skeleton Butte. The two groups of the Posse met up and squashed that element by blowing up a fuel truck. Now, they've met up back at Eden, an abandoned farming town not too far from Skeleton Buttte.

Using the dead Anti-Templar's captured black tabard and sword, Rowan is trying to cast a newly-acquired spell to change Jason's appearance into Modeen's Lt. to get in close to Modeen. Several Destroyer bike jackets were also salvaged so it should be possible (if desired) to fake some kind of entourage accompanying him, enough to fool Modeen long enough to get in close. At that point, the rest of the Posse will storm in using the technical and up-gunned rig to mow down the 20 or so remaining Destroyers while Schaeffer provides long-range sniper support.

There are a few elements about Modeen's practical invulnerability to consider, which I will point out IC now.

Tony

Posse,

Please do not make OOC posts in the IC thread. I will simply delete them.



Yes, both could be advantageous. Someone make the call!



The spell will last for the better part of an hour at least, as far as Rowan can tell. (In Rowan's experience spells tend to be all or nothing; if they work, they work.) You don't know if anyone can see through the glamour/illusion; none of you did, but then again you don't know Simon or the dead Anti-Templar all that well.

oops.  Sorry.

I AM DRUNK WITH POWER!

DELETE, I say!

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 762):

To show you how nice I am....even though you said you'd delete them....I went and deleted mine for you.  Wouldn't want you to sprain your finger from hitting the delete key too enthusiastically.  :)

In reply to Jane Guin (msg # 763):

Ha, I guess I forgot to actually delete the comments. Apparently, my power is merely a hollow sham.

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 764):

Oh great we have a Hollow Man for a GM. Quick break out the lightning bolts and the annoying voice over that you want to shoot.

As for the timing of the second group. I would like a couple of minutes so that our arrival which is sure to cause some confusion gets interrupted by the main group. Hopefully Modeen's dumb butt will be close by then so that we can throw a Go to Hades Party for him.

In reply to Jason Sinclair (msg # 765):

A hollow SHAM, not a hollow MAN. I am crunchy on the outside but filled with chewy goodness inside.

As for your plan, post that in-character and let's ride!

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 766):

The Hollow Man was a Fable joke. The overtalking Narrator would tell you to kill the Hollow Man like eight times in like three seconds.

Ha ha, totally went over my head.

Tony

Impressive use of Google maps customisation!

Thanks! There's an issue with the "rear" route snapping-to the wrong road, should be fixed, and the cursed orchard is now the green area on the right.

I use Google Maps for a few of my games both on Rpol and through email.

There are other similar maps for this game in previous locations, if you zoom out. Mainly the rad zone around Wichita and the town of Truth or Consequences.

I did...

Maybe I'll try out one of my background ideas sometime, which is to 'recreate' Santa Barbara, CA as the fictional 'Santa Theresa' as a locale for modern games.

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 771):

Cool! I re-imagined "Samson" in Call of "Cthulhu/Cthulhu Now/At Your Door" (really, San Francisco) as the fictional city of "San Rosendo". San Rosendo is set about on the coast halfway between SF and LA, using the rough map in "At Your Door." I've used it as a setting not just for At Your Door but a zombie apocalypse themed game.

I would assume if Roadkill wants to keep the trailer attached then that's fine, you head in the front. This plays into the "chasing" Simon and his captor and requires an approach from the west.

Tony

Posse,

So you're coming in from the north?

With or without trailer? This will affect handling. Without the trailer, the truck is not too bad offroad, plenty of power if a little dodgy on the ground clearance.

Tony

I let Peter do the driving (grins) so I will go whichever direction he drives me.  As for Bonni, I don't have a preference so will let the better minds work it out.
