Unless everyone has telepathy it is somewhat difficult. For example, Zelpuz has telepathy so he can read someone's thoughts and transmit his own. Vanyra can only read thoughts, so if Yuu wanted to know what she was thinking Zelpuz would have the relay that info.

And Yuu would have to trust that both Zelpuz and Vanyra are reading his thoughts while thinking.

So it could be done, but it's a bit of a work around.

Agreed that you guys could probably move this conversation to IC as I think you all know what needs to be said/expressed.

I think Yuu, Zelpuz, and Vanyra should just decide and let the others in on our decision.  Why do they need to part of it? ;)

I don't think others were supposed to be part of the decision, that's why Yuu wanted to do telepathy.

Yeah, what Z said ;-)

I'm just trying to think of ways we can have a private conversation, without taking our eyes from the prisoners. The telepathy thing is a bit too clunky.

Maybe I could jerry rig a silence bubble or something. But would take a bit of time.

Why doesn't Yuu cast a spell of some sort to allow you to speak with each other... I'm just throwing that out there as an idea; I'm not sure how that will work exactly in terms of spell creation.

Would it be possible to all 'hide' in my pocket and still communicate?

I don't believe you are able to enter your own dimensional pocket, so Zelpuz would be stuck outside.

Hmm, that's too bad.
How is the condition of Lasrane? If we put him and the captain in, could they communicate?

I reckon they could. Lasrane is probably sleeping unless you woke him up. We'll consider the interior of the bag just an empty dimensional space/room.

After looking at the character sheets, Yuu could rummage through his magic utility harness and piece together some sort of mental communicator device (ie. a telepathy gadget). This will require a skill check (Knowledge: Technology), with a DC of probably 12... so in other words don't bother rolling since Yuu has 12 ranks in that skill.

It'll just take a few moments to get the device set up, and it may take a little while for Yuu to get the hang of mental communication since he's not done telepathy before. Hence he'll have to focus to prevent his mind reading from wandering through other surface thoughts in people's minds. Thus we'll need a Concentration check with a DC of 25, since this is his first rodeo and he's dealing with 2 different minds.

If you just want to take 10 on the concentration check you can since this is not a combat situation, but it does mean that you guys will spend about 5 additional minutes helping Yuu get accustomed to mental communication.

So yeah, you guys can have a conversation without the others hearing... unless Lasrane is able to listen to your thoughts without even seeing you! Even while he's sleeping!

If I remember right, I originally designed the bag so I could hide myself in there, but I can't find the rulebooks on my computer anymore (moved to a newer computer). I'll check when I am back home next week.

Besides that, let's just put them in the pocket, blindfolded, tied up and gagged and then we chat in the room.

Waking up and moving Lasrane just to stick him into a bag isn't... very positive. Nor doing it to the Captain. Especially if we do decide to try to work with them. If Lasrane can read minds without even looking, then fuck it... he's already going to pick up what we're thinking anyways. So don't really care.

I can do the telepathy device thing. I just didn't want to push my luck with what I can/can't do.... ie. abuse of the system =P

I'll take 10, and jsut take a few extra minutes to get used to the whole thing. Shall we IC?

Yuu's got some serious techno-wizard type skills; making minor gadgets is pretty easy. That utility harness is designed as a variable power pool, so you can change around the powers within it with a skill check and a reasonable amount of time.

It's when you start messing with higher level spells/powers that things get more challenging.

OK, so let's do that. We'll just come back down, put the captain in a corner and chat in your thing. Once that's set up we can move back to in game.

Ah, thanks, good idea!
So actually, we could keep the captain in the pocket and Lasrane out. Anyways, either way works.
Also, for cross examination, I could try again to read the thoughts of the captain (or Lasrane). I hope I won't roll another 1.

For the sake of clarity we'll assume that all the techno-babble Yuu spouted amounted to him saying he hotwired a nether-powered telepathy device. It has a very limited range, but will allow you to communicate with each other mentally.

As for Lasrane he's still passed out in the chair. And unless you want me to reverse the previous decisions the Captain is blindfolded and tied up in another chair.

You'll have to wake Lasrane if you want him to be part of this cross-examination. You could try to read either of their minds once more, as this is a new round, but the Captain will have a +1 to that save.

Ah shit, yeah, it was a telepathy device. Brain fart on that one.

I adjusted the emote slightly so that the dialogue still makes sense.

Do we want to run through the basics of the conversation in OOC in order to save time?

Just a side note, but Vanyra doesn't seem to be the type that needs checking up on. Lasrane is in bad shape, certainly not improving without medical care, nor is he going very far.

Heading out of the city will take at least until dawn, just so everyone is on the same page.

Thanks, wrong name, edited that.
And getting out until dawn is fine, up to Yuu, we can either get Qwe out now, or whenever he feels it's best/safest.

OK, so I guess the plan is to get some rest and go to Myria in the morning. Does Lasrane need medical attention or can Yuu handle that? And what was the status of Myria last time I checked on her, which was probably just 1-3 days ago.

He's banged up pretty good, with a couple of broken ribs, thus any medical attention would be good.

Myria was in stable condition last time you saw her. Assuming they continued medical treatment she's like doing Ok, but not 100%.

OK, so a few broken ribs won't kill him. I would also consider dropping him off at a hospital and telling him to meet me in a day or two at a certain place if he wants to work together. It's risky but maybe worth it.
And if Myria is OK, let's get her out.

Considering the situation in the city Lasrane may not be excited at the prospect of going to a hospital, where people like the ShenZue may be looking for him. A small clinic-like place would be the better choice.

Just let me know how/if you're going to split up and where you're going in IC or OCC and we'll get his ball rolling.

Vanyra won't want to wait to see if Myyria is ok.  She sincerely believes that huge portions of the city could be destroyed by fireballs raining from the sky any minute.  Not getting Myyria out could mean her death regardless.

I'm not sure I can emphasize any more her desire to get everyone and get out.
