I think I prefer going parallel and exploring the neighboring paths.  Taking rights will end up with us making a doughnut around a large unknown middle; and there is a really large middle.

Hey guys, I'm travelling to Canada tomorrow for vacation so I'll be a bit touch and go with checking this. Been a bit slow here of late since I've been rushing to get some Rifts stuff done before I head north, so hopefully will improve once I get back on the 10th.

Agreed, let's not make a donut.

I was actually in Houston last week, but had no time to meet, next time I am there I'll let you know.

For sure, drop me a line.

So needless to say I've been a bit busy of late. One of the guys that works for me is on vacation through the end of the month and I'm covering for him, so let's just hit pause until after Labor Day. Everything should settle down by then and we can hit the ground running again.

I've got a few things planned for the game and I'd rather have the time to get them done in short order rather than be interrupted by real life :P

All good dude, that's why this format is so useful... can leave and pick up whenever, and it's all waiting for us right where we left off.

How's life for you all? It's been crazy here, still will be at least until April, but maybe we can continue the game?

Its been pretty busy for me.  Started a new job teaching at a private high school here in Ontario where most of the students are chinese nationals.  Its good though.  Million times better than retail.

Happy New Year everyone. Is everyone ready to continue this game?

Hi. Yeah, I've just been busy with the Rifts game so haven't really had time to think too much about this one, between that and work. Should/could have some more time to start up again soon though, maybe March.

I've also been thinking of changing up the direction of the game a bit, and still tossing some ideas around in my head about that.

Sounds good. Some day I will join the Rifts game, too.

OK, so Yuu went with the researchers to Room 2 and 3, which they are investigating presently. If there's anything Yuu wishes to do to assist them or further his own curiosity then let me know and make an appropriate roll in D20.

For Vanyra and Zelpuz, where are you guys headed? Please move your characters to a location on the map. Remember if you hold ALT and move your token you can free move it so it isn't grid-locked. Also please make any appropriate skill checks (stealth, notice, survival, etc.) that feels appropriate.

All of your Roll20 character sheets should be setup to roll click and roll but there may be situational modifiers for somethings/conditions; just ask if you have questions on that. Naturally the cave is dark so illumination penalties will apply.

Cool, but I only see the cave map where we entered, but we are on the next part of the map, right? How do you switch maps again?

In reply to Zelpuz (msg # 1364):

Mike is saying We decided to go back and finish exploring the caves we started in.  I think because we finished looking into the rooms in the facility we could access.

The reason you only see the parts you are in I think is because I created new characters and tokens for your characters, so according to Roll20 they haven't explored anywhere yet. I've reset the explored area to match where you guys have been, so you can only "see" as far as you can but the parts of the map you have explored should at least be greyed-out now.

Having said that since you were in the ancient facility, and that map is really large, if you are returning to the old cave network I'll need to move Vanyra and Zelpuz to the cave map.

I just need to know how/where you guys are entering from, so just move your token to the part of the current map they will be travelling through. Then I'll move them to the cave map in the same spot.

Currently on roll20, I think both Jan and I are actually seeing the cave map.

We aren't seeing the facility map.

We're just trying to clarify which map we should be seeing. :)

I think we'll need to see the facility map to remember what we've seen.

Ok, right. Yeah, the current map was set to the Cave one for some reason. I've switched it to the ancient facility, so you should see your new character tokens in the small room that opens out into the caves.

Yuu's token is way over in another room with the researchers.

Let me know if you have an issue with the new map.

So, I see a room we didn't go into on the far left.
I see doors leading out of the immediate map in the lower left, lower right, and upper right.
and there's a lot of cave system we didn't explore.

Maybe we could look in the room first?

I think we did explore most of this, except the room on the far left. And we stopped at some areas because the next map wasn't ready.

You guys looked through every room I have on that map, that's why you guys went back to base camp.

Then you came back to the facility with a team of techs to do some tests, which is where Yuu is.

It's only the cave system that is unexplored; the last plan is that Yuu was going with the tech team into the facility while Zelpuz and Vanyra were going to check out the rest of the cave.

Okay.  We can explore the cave then.


Where do we want to go Jan?  Up the middle or up the right side?

I don't think we found a way to get into the middle. We can go right or up.

Let's go back to the caves then and go right. We can see if it meets back up with the complex.  We'll have to watch out for potential enemies coming from the middle or right.

I think we are talking about different maps. Right now, I see the map with the big vent in the middle. Do we want to explore the entrance cave more where there may be enemies, or the one where everything was dusty and had relics of old civilizations?

You guys were thinking of going back into the natural caves with the crystals and the bug-like things, to explore more of that.

The ancient facility you have already checked out the majority of it that is on the map, and Yuu and the research team has gone back in to run some tests.

I'll put some numbers on the current map; just tell me which ingress point you want to use to enter the other map.

Thanks for the reminder, that half explains why I am the only one in the facility map. Could you move me back to the other map? I don't think I can do that myself?
