Are we able to walk around the piles of wood along the shoreline even entering the sea to get past ?

In reply to Project Director (msg # 769):

Kim being a humble ship captain and fisherman by trade asks. "Do we have enough C-4 to destroy this strip of sand making it ---Ya need a boat to go further---"

Of course. The driftwood forms a "spine" down the middle of the spit. Except for high tide there is exposed beach along both sides. And you can even walk among the driftwood, it's not packed that tight. But keeping low and crawling or making your way down the driftwood would provide the most cover.

That's what I was wondering too.  Looks like the driftwood will help screen our movement as we move down the sandbar to the island. Especially when it gets full dark.  What is the status of the moon and clouds?

I'll have to generate the weather. Luckily, TMP 4th ed. has detailed weather tables. It doesn't do moon phases but I have the in-game date and can look it up online!

Thanks,

Tony

Marshall's Note: are you going down now, or waiting for darkness?

Thanks,

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 775):

I vote for darkness.

In reply to Tim Charles White (msg # 776):

Climb down in darkness? (There are woods down the slope and all the way to the sand so you will be covered either way.) You should post that in-character.

Thanks,

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 777):

No... not unless it is already dark.

I was planning on moving in cover as much as possible while it was still light out side.

I don't think we brought climbing gear.  We might have rope if it's in the basic equipment issue.

In reply to Mahalina Rae Powell (msg # 779):

You each have 30m of parachute cord as part of you basic issue.

Thanks,

Tony

There is not a spot with a relatively easy slope?

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 781):

The pictures I've seen look pretty rugged. Not a sheer face but a fairly steep cliff.

Thanks,

Tony

Great point. But it might be on the boat, as you were not going to recce the sub at the moment but check out the smoke plume. Still, you might have needed it to climb up the cliffs in the first place. Sure, I'll allow it.

Climb check Difficulty is Routine (+20% to effective skill) using ropes.

Thanks,

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 783):

Ok, sorry for the delay! On with the show.

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 784):

How will you set the ambush? A line just inside the tree line? Who is where?

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 785):

I am hoping the other players step up rather than forcing me to make assignments.

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 786):

Tim is equity good with firearms and a knife so if you want him in the take down just say. Cheers.

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 786):

Usually if the TL wants to set up an ambush, it's their call on who goes where. But if Jimmy  wanted people to organise themselves in-game it didn't seem clear. Let's assume it is, then, by saying Jimmy whispered instructions and tried to figure out who, if anyone, was skilled at martial arts. As well, who has a suppressed pistol.

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 788):

Yeah, I am just not sure of folk's skillsets.  Things flux...


Sounds like Tim is an amusher!


Who do we have again in this party now?

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 789):

That's the problem with composite teams, you can't always know everyone's skill set!

Currently, you have:

Jimmy, M16A1/M203
Tim, Stoner Mk. 23 SAW
Lena, Stoner M23 Carbine
Captain Kim, Stoner M23 Carbine, M79 GL
Elliot, MAC-10/HK69 GL

The rest (Andy, Filat, Leaf) are on the boat.

OK let's make Tim and Jimmy the "Greeters" if they fumble on us.

Jimmy will do the talking, he's really good at that.

Everyone else back a bit and ready to cover.

In reply to Project Director (msg # 790):

Capt'n Kim also has a M-79 grenade launcher

Hi everyone,

I'm off on vacation for the week until next Sunday. I'll check in every few days but probably won't be able to take time to post without getting "the look". See you then!

Tony

Elliott has karate skills.
