...And that was how Smoke Alarm changed the course of Silurian technological development and prevented the human race from ever existing. :p

I'll wait for our Time Lord to sense the impending catastrophe. :D

Eh. The Doctor says in one adventure "History finds a way".

Arguably, Sereth and Stanley could be doing just as much damage by introducing them to the idea of radiation sickness as well as 20th century medical techniques.

After 55 million years, history finds a steamroller. :)

I have not forgotten this game; and will post very soon.

That radiation need not be artificial. Australia has quite a lot of uranium:

Natural nuclear reactors are even possible, where uranium deposits go critical and are moderated by ground-water:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...lear_fission_reactor
Of course, the only known one, the Oklo reactor, was in Africa 1.7 billion years ago, but another might be possible.

Yeah, I know Australia has a lot of uranium. I was betting that the GM probably didn't though; and that it seemed rather coincidental that there's a whole lot of radiation sickness at about the same time as Dalek tech quite possibly arrived.

I confirm or deny nothing, but I actually did pick out Australia with that partially in mind.  At least from the standpoint of Trav's earlier scan results: the poisoned fish is kind of a dead giveaway that something else is up.

When I threw China into the mix, though it was proceeding from some earlier comments about doing a martial arts historical, I also scoured around for likely locations that would work for that and for some other potential complications.

Doesn't a Kang scavenger hunt consist of counting to three, pointing to herself, and saying, "Found a scavenger!" ?

Sereth already asked what I wanted to know and I can't really come up with something to post. Stanley is still busy with coming up with and following the treatment plan, because that is taking a couple of days,

Yeah, and I'm out by a day. I need to let Smoke and Trav kinda get to the same point, or we're going to have worries about whether we can talk to each other.

Right, I figure that Sereth and Stanley are themselves in sync, and the two teams can consult back and forth on anything they've found out except for the location information that was given about the fish.  It's just that the pair in the village are committed and can't pick another major action up until that point.

If you have additional stuff you want to try finding out from the other NPCs in the meantime, feel free.  I figure you are both doing a lot of consulting and talking back and forth.

What part of a Dalek are we looking at? Part of a head dome or one of the bumps? I don't think anything else is round on them.

Really? You mean, Smoke could swore the F-word earlier? And get all her kit off? :o

Possibly part of the skirt that sits on top of the polygonal bottom sections with the bumps and below the vents and gun / plunger assembly.

... just wait till Smoke Alarm finds out Daleks can levitate.

When are we receiving Trav's message? I assume it is after we left for Demons' Hole.

Well see, there's where I want clarification; because I assumed before. I assumed we'd left for Demons' Hole with Sereth assuming there was the possibility of Daleks.

Trav and Smoke Alarm's actions are (still) taking place in a short span of time before Sereth and Stanley leave the village.  If you actually need to get something else done I can walk back that last post.  But it is roughly like this:

S & S arrive at village
T & S are searching around the keep.

...

Stanley identifies radiation sickness, begins working on treatment
Sereth localizes it to the fish, starts planning decontamination

...

Smoke gets gold bracelet
Smoke finds Dalek plating, Trav IDs it.
Communication back & forth

...

(Eventually) Stanley has treatment ready
(Eventually) Sereth arranges transport and is ready to go

...

My last IC post

There is some space in the last two time gaps for people to do things, and I don't have any concrete action for S & T after the two groups talk.

Yeah; I'll have a post up in a bit.

.... okay come on. SERIOUSLY.

I want whatever you people are bribing the dice gods with; and stop hogging all the good rolls.

I can't help it, they just love Smoke Alarm. :) I trust to the dice gods and they trust me. 'Sides, I only rolled a 7 this time. :p

Though, if it's any consolation, in an SWSE game today, my PC attempted a life-saving bluff on a d20, rolled a 6 and used a reroll that made it a 2. Then, desperate, I added a d6 action point that bumped me by a mere 1. I don't think I can trick them on an 11. :(

Just a reminder (because I can sort of see it coming from Smoke's last IC post): I encourage everyone, if they see a logical place for a skill roll based on their actions, to just make one given their best guess on what's appropriate instead of asking mother-may-I.

If I think it's really off the mark, I'll say so, and if it's unnecessary, no harm done.

NP, then - it's usually my first impulse to ask because I as a GM prefer that players ask instead of just assuming ;)

Also, it seems like I make sonic rolls for *everything*. I may start making sonic rolls using Awareness instead, to notice details and such - the Doctor seems to use the sonic also as a sensory device as well.

Yes, Awareness should be your go-to for scans.  Ingenuity for knowing things and "doing" technical things.

Also, we have actually reached the end of the thread now.
