I have one more if it isn't required to catch Max (you know, if snatch and grab counts as one).  I certainly am not intending to whip him down to the deck unceremoniously.

... though that might get quite the eyebrow raise (maybe even both).  :)

In reply to Aeviternus (msg # 68):

Max will warm up his eye brows like Jim B.

i would say snatching him and getting him clear of the blast would be 1 CA. Finish up your last CA then ACE.

Remember everyone, if you want to actively use a skill it cost a CA. So at this point if you wanted to actively scan the water or other boat that would be a Perception check and cost a CA.

Just asking what do I see, is there anything I notice, or what's going on around me, or do i see anything useful are all passive types of perception checks, they are things you would notice right off the bat.  They don't cost a CA when in combat, because you need helpful and basic knowledge of your surroundings.  So you can always ask that type of stuff in battle. But if ACE now says, I want to see what is going on over at the other boat, he might move slightly to get a better vantage point and stare for a moment, as the ship isn't right next to you.

23:24, Today: Xuan Tien John Wu rolled 21 using 1d10+17. SR.

Hey sorry, I've already spent all my CA's. Just worked my way back up through the posts to be sure. So don't wait on me.

Everyone may take their first turn. We are in round 2, CA full, and make sure your PPs are correct.

Good idea. Nobody likes it when their PPs are down. They're much better when they're up. But I guess that's what happens when you expend your load.

That was cliche and all sorts of cheesieness, I like it. I just remembered Seeker fixed an item of mine, I have a decent amount of PP left.  I'm not out of it yet.  I just got home from school, and I gotta get up again early.  I will try and get my post in soon.

Ok, I'm out of CA's.  Let's do this.

john? ur go, shark went by the way it was sort of a secret but passive action.

i have edited the initiative round post in combat thread.

Sorry, am currently on my daughter's camp with only the phone. I had a post prepared but needs editing now. Hopefully get to it today

Hellloooooo? Hey everyone can go.  Round 2 people round 2

In reply to Seeker of Truth (msg # 79):

On it captain my captain. Just got back from vacation!

Would it be clear to Kirby what Max just did?

From our point of view Kirby, we'd be looking at the boat going green and wondering what the hell those little f'ing sharks are doing to it.

Then again, we have seen odd colors come from Max before. At least once.


To answer the Seekster, I'm a waitin' on the rest of the crew to get their licks in before my go comes back around.

Ok...

I know what Kirby is going to do but can't get in a post today. It will be, hopefully, worth the wait.

In reply to Edmund Kirby Smith IV (msg # 81):

I would say if you heard Max speaking to the ship you'd know Max is doing something to either boost or protect the ship in someway...but that's up to The Seekster...???

And if Kirby really wanted to know what Max is doing he could ask...after all talking is a free action...LOL!

In reply to Max Jackson (msg # 84):

Brilliant!

Did a quick phone post. Will do Kirby's action in the morning.

I finally thought of something but I'm waiting for Max's response to Kirby.  No rush, just weighing in here so nobody thinks I've moved out to a dreadful place where wi-fi doesn't roam free (well... not free, but... you know what I mean).

In reply to Aeviternus (msg # 87):

You're up Ace.

Should be clear that Kirby's going to speed up the boat. Can't get a good post in til tomorrow.

that was cool, and I didn't even see it coming, and here I thought I was going to sink your battleship.

Nice!
