I'll be in Glasgow from about 6pm till near midnight on the 1st May at a bar called the Counting House, just off George Square.

If you're in the area at that time, you might just encounter the infamous Ghost of Anskaven Glasgow!  ;)

Heh, almost like I'm looking for something in your past, Snake, isn't it? (Which I'm not o.O)
Thanks for the tip - I'll surely check it out.
And yes, I'll stay in London for two days (any tips regarding places to visit are greatly appreciated ;)).

On 1^st May I'll be just coming to Edinburgh, but when I get to Glasgow, I'll ask the bartender at that place if he hasn't noticed something strange happening to the place's patrons a couple of days into the past (like some of them mysteriously disappearing). :)


As for rolling - let's wait for Sabre to weigh in first, I suppose.

Hmm yeah, I wonder if Sun Snake has some kind of shady backstory as well...  Have to bring that up in conversation sometime if we all survive the current challenge!  ;)

Oki doki, what do I need for this?  A roll for Invisibility and another for Huntmastery for climbing?
What's the DC for each (or should I just aim as high as possible?)

I think I already gave to you the DC you need to hit on both attempts to succeed, Swift Fox, but let's reiterate:

- for climbing, you need to beat a DC of 5, and you get a +3 bonus from Huntmastery and a +2 bonus from Sabre Fox's climbing kit - I'll let you do the math on that by yourself, and just point out that Sabre Fox was astoundingly smart in taking that considering how often it came in handy, so I'm giving him 1 FP for having otusmarted me (and everybod else) with the best choiche in the selection of mundane gear that everybody in the game made. :)

- for avoiding detection, you have to beat a DC of 12, and you can get a +6 bonus if you pay 1 WP to use your Invisibility to the fullest, and a further +2 which depends on Water Hornet rolling higher than 5 on his Animal Contrl check.

And of course, alongside the roll, it might be proper to make a good post fluffing out the event - I know that most often you seem to forget this, but I said it to each one of you when the game started and I'll say it again - if you make a very convicing, well-written and appropriate to your character post that describe how you're going to try your beat at beating the challenge, it might result in bonuses - so far, the only people who only truly used that to their advantage were Rain (who got some bonuses to her rolls at least in three different occasions I can remember across the game) and Snake (who used his creativity to instead collect a number of + for his disciplines), although I'm sure that both Hornet and Sabre also received these kind of bonuses at least once; I'm less sure about the others, although I think at least a + was gained by everyone of you.

With that said, Swift fox, in the end it's all up to you, so roll well, and good luck! ^_^

Well, I've already mentioned before that I'm lousy at descriptions, so I think fair warning was given. ;)  hehe.

Right then, I'll see what I can cobble together just before I call it a night here.  Post in progress.

Let's do this...  :)

Yay! We sort of did it, without losing too many resources. Now to get the snoozing guy... somehow... perhaps non-fatally?


@WH For London, the centre is pretty tightly packed with all the cool land marks and so forth. Added bonus there will be Shaun the Sheeps around to go look at!

Anyway, the best bet if you have the money is to get one of the tour buses like the Original Tours. They basically give you a trip around the cioty for 2 - 3 hours to get a feel for everything around, then you hop on hop off to actually go to them. You can get a two day ticket so that you have a day and a half to explore what they point out.

The south bank of the Thames tends to be good to walk along just for the variety of shops and sights of London. If you go West along there you can actually hit Battersey park and see the old station.

Otherwise, stick to the centre and see the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Westminister, all that fun stuff :)

Actually, all the thames shuttles between the two piers tend to do voluntary commentaries so you can learn some history from them too and also see the city from the river.

Also Trafalgar Square and the gallery leads to Leicester Square and all the food places too :)

If you more a museum buff then the natural history and british museum are cool, if you like art both the national gallery and also on the south bank the tate modern is cool (that is on the opposite side of the river to St Paul's, and you can cross the millenium bridge to them)

You might be able to spot my mum has to go through London when she comes down, so we end up spending some time in London :)

Only one way I can do that.  And there's a possibility it'll be my last move in the game (and maybe yours too if you stick around!)

Ironically enough, it would actually be going against Swift's character to kill him right now.

Let's see how this turns out then...

How about hitting him with something heavy - perhaps a stone - on the head? Inelegant, but effective...?

@Snake: Wow, thanks for all the tips! Will have to write it down. :)

We'll have to start calling Swift Fox "Solid Fox" soon!

Oh, also did we hide the bodies of the two sentries yet? We probably should if we haven't.

Only if I get to wear a bandanna that gives me infinite arrows :)

And the stealth camouflage unit for when my WP for Invisibility runs out!

Yeah, that was...impressive. :)

Regarding the bodies: I was actually waiting for us to find a way inside - so we could hide the bodies inside. Even if we had to drag the corpses, I think the storm would cover any tracks on the ground (including blood)...?
Although, on the second thought, now I started wondering whether it wouldn't be better to leave the bodies outside - depends, where it is more probable for them to be found. But perhaps inside the walls we can find some place where no-one will come looking (at least for a couple of hours.

Ok, so I can probably meat puppet the solder if we have a use for him. It will knock sun Snake out of doing anything else while the link is engaged, and neither Sun Snake nor the soldier can fight.

Does this seem like something we need? A lower ranked soldier, but also someone whom we can use as a distraction or maaaaaybe get us to some other areas?

As it should become clear soon enough, Hornet, there's a tunnel that runs from the door you're in front of to the one Swift Fox is in front of; yo could easily stash the bodies there, although the blood that is ppoling on the ground and mixing with the dirt and hard rocks of the door front, as well as any that was splattered over the door and walls, will be a bit more difficult to hide.

Also, the fact that a single door out of all the ones the fortress has is unguarded is sure to be noticed by the first Drakkar to walk past it, so really, it's just a matter of time before somebody discovers that something happened there.

Ahh ok.  Didn't know there was a tunnel.

So there are actually TWO doors?  (O.o)

Can I tell if that key will open both of them?

Yes. They do open with the same key, though. Basically, here's a schematic of the area:

I hope this helps a bit?

Awww, I'm not Bad Cop this time? :(

That sounded creepy though, I think he's trying to impress Swift here ;)

Maybe Sun Snake forgot keep up the facade in all the rush :D

Just letting Sun Snake do his thing here.  Hope he hasn't forgotten about all the very angry people armed with sharp things who will probably be swarming in here soon...  ;)

Feel free to jump in, I'm off to bed soon and we should probably end this and get back to planning the next move before we lose Water Hornet!

Now that sounded creepy (at least to me)! :D

There is a film/song I could quote here...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jbDOAHd97I

:D Hehe, that's nice (I've neither heard the song, nor seen the film, until now).

I wonder where is the truth regarding this young Drakkar, Renora's involvement and overall political situation among Drakkarim...

ooo, I love St. Etienne! :D  Ultimate lazy summer day chill-out music...

(Now all we need is a lazy summer day!)

Swift has her own opinion about this guy, which is what drove her choice not to kill him (yet!)

Yeah, a friend of mine played it a lot in university :)

And we might get summer yet, there has definitely been periods of sun around the coldness and rain!
