First works for me and I will be perched on the broken pillar at L16. The barbed wire will flow down the pillar and around the base (using mud to cover it on the pillar)

 Well i was watching the egg? of our team member coming back, so i am open to what ever watch where i can still keep an eye on the egg.

Apologies for one more round of clarification:

It seems like Rose is going to sleep closer to Ophelia-egg at H11. Is this going to happen?
Thunderbird will take the first watch, perched up high, complete with goggles, ready to try and entangle the ripper with razor wire. Right?
I will assume ff Thunderbird'a watch passes peacefully, the next on watch will take the omni-goggles, but no razor wire play.

Agreed, I will take the omni-goggles after T-Bird is done with his watch. Who's got third watch?

As a thought, Thunderbird remains on the pillar and the person on watch takes another vantage point. Holler or use the mind link if they see something to wake him up.

Like it! Good plan.

OK we're almost there, just going to ask Rose one thing: are you sure you want to sleep away from the rest of the group when you are expecting an attack from something that likes to pick off isolated individuals??

 Well who is going to watch over the embryo of the egg if the team doesnt want to protect the egg?.

Good point well made :)

BTW when (if?) the reaper attacks, and who, will be determined semi-randomly. You have all been warned ;)

So unless I hear any last minute changes will post tomorrow.

In reply to The Shadow (msg # 419):

Why would there be no razor wire play for the next watch?  We have the trap set so if he comes up through those watery holes in the floor he will set off the razor wire trap?

When Arcus takes his watch he will rocket flight up to Thunderbird's position with the goggles to repeat the same watch.

I don't know about the rest of the players but it seems your just looking to screw us over simply because we are not sitting around a table and have a relatively crappy map to look at because of the weird icons involved? That may not be what you THINK your doing but its kinda how this is starting to feel...

FOR THE RECORD... NO..we are not leaving ANYONE to be by themselves or not being watched by someone on guard at ANY TIME during the night.  We KNOW this jackass freak is coming to attack we are aware he is stalking us and we are being VERY careful to keep watch... beyond that NO we are not being stupid about it either!

You've told us all this stuff about Ophelia NOT being able to be moved you put is in a situation where we have a shit ton of unknowns but we are doing the best we can.

If all your going to do is quick kill our characters then why bother ?

HI Arcus

Not sure where that came from :)

The GM has provided all the info we could have gathered in the time we've had to set up the traps. I think the situation gives that desperate feel suitable for an apocalyptic setting and the team seems to have put together a good plan of action


I honestly don't think the GM is intentionally trying to kill us off ....I've lost 3 characters in this game to date but each time its been my own fault for their deaths :(  nothing to do with the GM

I think it will be fun to see how this plays out with the plan we have ...but then I can safely day that in the knowledge that Ophelia will either survive or die in her sleep .....less painful than the other three occasions lol

I think that's a little unfair. I am asking these questions precisely because we are not sitting round a table and I don't want to needlessly screw you because I have misunderstood your intent.

Agreed, I thought these are reasonable questions.

OK, please take a look at the map and check you are all in the right place for the first watch.

At the risk of asking even more questions: re the razor wire: Arcus' plan was to rig a snare around the two pools with a deadweight trap. This is doable for the stairs pool, but the other pool is just too big.

Also Thunderbird is talking about wrapping the razor wire around the pillar he is perched on.

Assume you have enough razor wire for 10 squares. It will take 3 squares of wire to trap the stairs water, the other 7 can be around Thunderbird's pillar. Does that work?

The whole wire snare with deadweight trap is pretty complex. Who is setting it up? You can use Mechanics or Science. I will make a skill roll DC20 if and when the trap is triggered to see if it works as intended.

 Mechanics of 11, Science of 7, if she is needed.

I think Rose will be setting the trap! I'll give you until Monday for any last minute changes, then it's game on!

Seconded--Rose, you're elected. You definitely don't want Crinkles doing it :-)

Would Thunderbird be able to assist? (+7 Mechanical)

I'm good with the layout. Hopefully Bedlam will be present a more alluring target than anyone else.

I'm good with where Arcus is placed.

Thunderbird, please make a Per roll DC15. If you fail (unlikely!) keep re-rolling until you make it.

Everyone please roll for Init, to save time later ;)
