It is strangely exciting.

"Did I just muff that roll, or knock it out of the park?  Let me check my sheet."

In reply to Project Director (msg # 59):

You needing any rolls from me now?  Like something about my opinion of how good a chance we have of getting through? I was thinking - the other crew is supposed to have vehicles.  If we go down there and get stuck, none of us are getting out of here.  We'll need rescue for the rescuers and the Project can't really spare the resources.

Does Jenna have any knowledge of the other trail that runs back south from Lake Geneva?  Basically instead of coming back this way, you would continue south and eventually cut back to the Open Road.  Problem is, unless that too was maintained it will not be at all functional.  Even in good times it was just a little two lane back road.

I am not waiting on any rolls. She thinks they can make it. If anyone gets stuck, they do have a tow truck! KR-44 likely has a vehicle, possibly a Ranger or V-150. Either they take the vehicles or they walk. If they take the vehicles, then Jenna is doing useful route recon on the most obvious route.

This is the only trail she knows of. She can return to the Open Road and try somewhere else, like the route that goes through Alger as you mention, but as they passed by without seeing anything there before it's unlikely to be better "pioneered" (maintained/blazed) than this one.

As for what Dylan wants, it's hard to say. Dave is apparently having some issues posting so basically do what you want. Daniel is acting as de facto 2IC and running the team unless Dylan says otherwise, at least to keep things moving.

Dave's issue was stomach flu and all the fun that intales.  But I am back now and ready to play coach.

In reply to Dylan Richard Sinclar (msg # 63):

Hey Dave, I am so glad to hear this!

Demolitions check.

13:38, Today: Tina Marie Lassiter rolled 4 using 1d100 with rolls of 4.  Demo check. Routine +20.

In reply to Tina Marie Lassiter (msg # 65):

17:13, Today: Project Director, on behalf of James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire, rolled 47 using 1d100 with rolls of 47.  Navigation .

17:06, Today: Project Director, on behalf of James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire, rolled 78 using 1d100 with rolls of 78.  Observation Roll.

Sure, Jimmy can make a Hunting roll. It's an Easy skill check.

Tony

Tracking is under "Hunt" in the skill tree, btw =)

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 67):

Smarty-pants, you know what I meant!

Either way, Jimmy finds nothing.

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 68):

Jimmy was hiding so let's have a Stealth check.

Tony

And an opposed Perception check?

In reply to Jenna Tallfeather (msg # 70):

failed stealth.  Though why dex is involved in hiding I don't understand.  Would think that would be sneaking, not hiding.

In reply to Jenna Tallfeather (msg # 70):

The Observe rolls in this case were made secretly by me.

I guess you can make the case that hiding is mainly a matter of keeping still, which is a measure of you ability to exert control over your body. Otherwise I guess you could argue it's a FOC skill.

Otherwise, I am going to make a new shared thread for both teams. Not just this moment but soon.

In reply to Project Director (msg # 72):

No worries.  But yeah, the staying still part might be focus based indeed.

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 73):

21:29, Today: Jenna Tallfeather rolled 78 using 1d100 with rolls of 78.  Demolition.
21:29, Today: Jenna Tallfeather rolled 57 using 1d100 with rolls of 57.  Observaton.

I put together Demolition and Observation to see if she had any idea of what to do to finish the job.

In reply to Jenna Tallfeather (msg # 74):

She can see the job is done and recognises that Tina's probably far better at demolitions than she is.

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 75):

Kim and Dylan can make Observation checks.

Tony

05:54, Today: Dylan Richard Sinclar rolled 1 using 1d100 with rolls of 1.  Observation roll.

In reply to Dylan Richard Sinclar (msg # 77):

21:12, Today: Jenna Tallfeather rolled 70 using 1d100 with rolls of 70.  Performance.
My total check for Performance is a 60, so unless there are some pluses involved, that's a fail.

In reply to Jenna Tallfeather (msg # 78):


20:59, Today: James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire rolled 84 using 1d100 with rolls of 84.  Performance - Harmonica!

Jimmy has a base 73, but I am hoping this qualifies as a routine task.

In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 79):

I think both Jesnna singing and Jimmy's harmonica are Route tasks (+20 to skill) if not Simple (+4). Certainly not Challenging (+/-0)!

No worries about the volcano! My fault for not being clearer. There are about three active ones in your AO (Baker, Rainier and Glacier Peak) and one of five Stratovolcanoes in the Cascade volcanic Arc.

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 80):

Kim may make Observation and Navigation checks. The first is to pick up on side trails, the second to note landmarks on the autonav.

Tony

In reply to Project Director (msg # 81):

For that matter Alice needs to make a drive check for taking the Ranger out. Normally this would not require a check but there is some rough terrain and obstacles (craters and tree trunks) in the way or partially in the way.

This is an Easy task (+40 to skill) so it's unlikely you'll fail. Blow your roll by enough and it's "roll the Ranger" time!

Tony

22:40, Today: Alice Maura McCloud rolled 88 using 1d100 with rolls of 88.  drive roll.
Skill 78 +40= 114

23:20, Today: Dylan Richard Sinclar rolled 52 using 1d100 with rolls of 52.  Observation roll 1.

23:20, Today: Dylan Richard Sinclar rolled 12 using 1d100 with rolls of 12.  Observation roll 2.

23:23, Today: Dylan Richard Sinclar rolled 73 using 1d100 with rolls of 73.  Observation roll 3.
