You better figure things out fairly quickly - your time is sort of running down...

True that. Looking at the countdown, we have to move out before (real time) tomorrow. o_O

That means last round of IC posts where we declare leaving the walls tunnel and we hopefully disappear right as the absence of guards is noticed.

Yep, that's the idea, hopefully... the soldier already agreed to do your bidding, so you can dismiss him without further input on my part - now it's just a matter of you getting all your ducks in a row and then pushing them onward before tomorrow comes.

Ok, end the Drakkar away and proposed a 'plan' IC - any tweaks we want or something else we might have at our disposal?

Everything seems good to me; as far as other resources are concerned, Sun Fox still has the smoke at hand, and she can also raise a new sandstorm inside the fortress if you want it - this time, she won't need the help of anybody to do it, since the area is much smaller than the plain outside was.

I will also need to know the exact road you're taking, reflected to the map - this is OOC information, so here is fine, but I need to know which building you're standing close to, which you are avoiding, and your directions at each fork in the road, since that's what I'll be using to determine the DC.

In particular, be very specifc in telling me where you're moving to: are you making a beeline to the Kennels? Are you stopping at builing 3? Are you trying to run along the wall and sneak by the Gate? Let me kno, it's very important!

And I shall be 100% clear - slow tracts of stealth will require lower DC, but obviously one roll for each tract, while crossing the entire fortress in a single go will be only one roll, but... somewhat more difficult, let's put it like that.

Don't know if Swift has the scent suppression improvement.
Also can she conceal others or just herself?

Sun Snake can use Trailblazing+Invisibility to lead the group along a stealthy path.

Also no, Swift Fox, as you can check in your character sheet, you don't have either SUppress Body Scent nor Fake Scent improvements, so those abilties are out of your ability to use. :)

Funnily that was the first one I took at character creation - just seemed to tipify sun Snake being so internal that he didn't even register as being there.  Dind't think it would come in so useful :D

Can Swift Fox and Sun Snake working together reduce the difficulty of concealing the group significantly, or is Swift Fox's WP / skills better suited to doing something else then?

After all, once we've done this we've still got to work out our next move, make Swift Fox you can find us a new trap to exploit or figure out the best way to the citadel?

I can think of ways the two of you together might work up some combo that'd help. I'm not going to suggest these combo for you, though - you should come up with the solution to your problems on your own, after all! I ill just say that there are possibilties, but you do need to find them first, bevore you can make use of them. :)

Well Swift was designed as a solo infiltrator/stealth assassin type.
Probably a bit of a bad idea for this game, since it involves a lot of face-to-face combat that forces her to come out of the shadows and fight :)

You mean to say to me that your hiding skills weren't at all useful in this game, Swift Fox? Because I seem to remember differently. :)

There's a captured meat puppet we sent to disrupt things that was only captured by your combination of skills!

Well she was going to kill him, then changed her mind.
Wonder if Sun Snake knows why...? ;)

I'm presuming it was one of those really annoying sneezes that doens't seem to want to happen,and that was distracting her from the murder

I wasn't sure what exact path we wanted to take, so I wanted to play it safe and at least say that we're moving out of the tunnel and to the nearest building.

If we do know where to go (e.g. Snake, you know exactly along which path you're leading us), then feel free to say something like "Just follow me and don't stop!" and Hornet will follow. But since nobody said anything like that, Hornet will move the group at least to the first 'waypoint'.

Indeed.

I actually considered you all to have already moved out - I'm just waiting for whomever takes the lead to post your first stop along the way. As I said, while you most certainly can just run in a straight line toward the kennels, which would involve only a single roll, I do strongly encurage you to make several stops along the path, since, while each stop = one roll, those will be much easier roll to make.

And as before, Snake, your use of Trailblaze could help but is not indispensible - it merely lowers the DC for everybody who's following you by 5, so it's usefulness is relative. I'm specifcying this because if you make a segmented run (ie, making several stops), then you'd need a Trailblazing use for each, and that might get expensive on your side - hence my remark that using it, while helpful, isn't at all a forced choice on you. I dislike forced choices.

Having said all that... you lot still have to give me your stops. If you're fine with Hornet's suggestion of just moving to the stables for now, that's fine by me as well - just confirms it, and I'll give you the necessary DC.

Oh, and remember to tell me if SUn Fox ought to raise another sandstorm inside the walls, or not - that, too, will affect the DC somewhatm, as you can imagine! ^_^

Swift definitely won't take the lead!
Why, it's almost as if you don't trust her to be walking close behind you carrying sharp stabby implements...  ;)

Dunno if I can use my camoflage to help Sun Snake at all.  Although I'm trying to conserve WP from here on, since I have a feeling I'll need it when we get to Vyctar!

Well I guess I will ask if the first trailblaze/Invisibility use can also also help to determine the best stops?

Anyway will go roll now and decuect 4WP.

Everybody, I really need you to tell me if you want Sun Fox to spend WP on crafting a new sandstorm, or not. It's quite important.

I'd say have Sun Fox use the sandstorm now to make a reasonably painless trek to the stables, and then have Sun Snake use trailblazing to get us to a new way point with a high DC next.

Hmmm, at first, I thought it would be better if Sun Fox saved some WP. But on the second thought I tend to lean towards Snake's proposal to let Sun Fox raise a sand storm for our cover. (So, it's a yes from me.)

That's two, you're four, I need at least another vote to finalize the action - alhough a consensus would be preferred, of course. :)

Anything that stops us getting killed is a good thing, although we might need Sun Fox with high WP later on...

Still, not much good if we get killed at this bit, so go for it :)

If it matters I'll say sun fox to use the sandstorm.

You all forget that there is another killing foxy around ;)

Can't speak for the others, but I most surely haven't - I have a series of plot beats and dramatic moments to further up your character's arc ready and everything. Hopefully you won't hate me too much for them! :)
