I'm up for it certainly :)

After Swift makes her post, you can explain how you're using your power to send what she's learning back to the others; in this instance, she'd be the one doing all the sensing, the rest of the group would only receive the understanding she gleams. And how much understanding she actually gleams will depend on what she writes. :)

As far as suggesting the plan in character goes though, it's fine - but in the end, this is primarily Swift Fox's effort and Swift Fox's test. Each of you has their own big challenges yet to face, and this is mainly hers.

That's what I figured, hence Sun Snake ensuring she knew she was the focus this time :D

A deserved fate point for a cool post!

So presumably we're just waiting to decide on which PC / NPC is doing what? I don't mind having Sun Snake try to do something, or stay back ot have the NPCs do it so he can concentrate on co-ordinting the effort and maybe ensuring we aren't sur[rised by what comes next?

As I said in the IC thread, if we have enough people with >10 WP, then I'd prefer to let Hornet save his WP...but if not, then I'll take the job :)

I've realised Sun Snake only has 10WP and needs 2WP to do the mindlink. Plus if the previous mind link actually happened with Swift Fox, then he's ctually at 8WP. So yeah, can't do the daggers after all.

Foxy will do anything. He has plenty of WP so ill do either of the 10WP attempts ;)

Your being short on WP was one of the reasons I asked if anybody else wanted to volounteer, Sun Snake - of course, you can use the Sun Shard to recover as necessary, but I still thought pointing that out was noteworthy. Nice to see you've all found an agreement. :)

Also, I have not been online these last few days due to troubles with my Internet connection - I hoped they could be resolved soon, but since they weren't yet, I'm currently posting from a public library. So, if I'm a bit less present this coming week, you'll know why! ^_^

Now going to see if anything needs updating in the active threads.

That's a pain in the neck, hope your internet behaves itself soon.

Well, it seems it has been fixed now - it took them one day longer than I expected it to, but overall that's not too bad, is it? :)

As for your question, Sun Snake, you can sit yourself wherever you prefer, yes - I just thought you'd want line of sight with Swift Fox because it's her who's giving the order, so it might be easier to coordinate if you can see that with your own eyes instead of having to rey on the psychic feedback. But yes, if you want, both options are acceptable to me. Do as you feel is best! ^_^

If he can see Swift's thoughts as well as looking through her eyes (and probably getting free Night Vision if he does!) then she'll allow that (for now) so he can co-ordinate the attacks ;)

She'll probably count down the seconds in her head until her window of opportunity comes up.  If we know what time the others will take to destroy, that should help I hope :)

theres that many posts I'm lost on what to do lol. Is the orb simply a smashy smashy? If so I can describe that easily lol

You would need to simply tap the wooden sphere with the blue kukri while wielding one of the others - either the pink tanto or the orange jambiya - and pay 10 WP. That'll cause a blue flash of light that'll vaporize the wooden orb, Sabre Fox.

You'll not be more detectable by psychic probes than you currently are - which is to say that, if somebody with the psychic power to notice was making a scan, you would be noticed, both right now and after the barrier goes down. If anybody tries, though, I'd let you know, and you can raise a Mindfort at that time, should you want to.

Cool, thanks!

Pretty sure they know we're here after we fired off all those Sun Shards earlier anyway :)

Only the fact that you're in the citadel, not your exact position. :)

Is everybody else having connection problems? As soon as everybody has posted their action in taking down the barrier, we can move on to the confrontation with Vyctar (if you don't mess up anything, obviously, otherwise everybody within a 3 km radius will die), but I really can't update things until everybody has made their posts regarding that. ^_^

Do I just roll an attack for swinging the warhammer at the idol then, or do I need to roll again for reading the timing on the runes?

No need to roll anything - four seconds are enough to swing the warhammer and smash the idol to pieces, everybody knows they need to time their attack so it hits the same time your does, so unless one of you wants to fuck it up on purpose (which you're all individually allowed to) everything will go smoothly.

The only one I might have asked a roll from is Sun Snake, since if he fails to coordinate properly, then the others end up not being able to time their attack, but since he can bypass the needs to fail with his sword, that'd just amount to me putting a tax on him for taking on a job that he's forced to take on, and I'm not that evil.

The only other chance of failure would have been if a person other than Sun Fox took the doll as their task, since that's the only place where there's dangers others than missing the hit (not creating the right type of forest, slipping from the treetrunks to fall into the lava, failing to contain the fire of the burning three, missing the knife swing with the second dagger to cut the doll in two) but since Sun Fox is doing it, that's not for you to roll, either, and I'm not going to let you fail due to NPC incompetence, so that's not going to be rolled, either.

So, in the end it'll work unless one of you specifically tries to make it fail. ^_^

I didn't have problems with the connection, but with the time itself - the last three days were a hell on time for me (both at and off work) :) Sorry for the delay, I'll post WH's part in a couple of hours.

*whistles innocently*

Also, we're only 10 posts away from the limit for this thread... ;)

I'm ferry bound this evening guys, I'll post tomorrow when I get some signal

Don't worry, Sabre Fox - as long as the game keeps going, a slow posting speed will be fine. After all, I wouldn't want to rush anybody: you're heading for a pretty big confrontation and so it only makes sense to take your time. ^_^

I know - I'll be closing this thread and opening the next one as soon as you lot finish opening the door to the inner sanctum. I hope you're ready, because if you handle this poorly, many of your characters might just die here.

I think I'll be taking Swift Fox's suggestion in the end and name the next OOC thread Eleventh Hour instead than my initially planned Eleventh commandment - it seems like the former more closely matches your present situation. :)

Didn't help my battery on my phone died on me all evening yesterday :/ the journey to the hotel was a farce too that put me in a foul mood and sour Foxy :(

You have all of my sympathy, Sabre Fox, and I hope you'll feel better soon.

And with that, this thread is closed.
