In reply to Bonny Taching (msg # 902):

Assume Leticia has been present for the discussion, along with the rest of the crew, unless Sdian says otherwise. Who would like to play who?

Leticia walks in, "So what's going on here then?"

======
OOC: Sdain's already said he doen't want to. (If he changes his mind then that's fine. Otherwiise I will).
TBH though I've been a bit too busy and as Bonny wasn't being adressed directly haven't been paying attention.
So, let's go with Leticia having not been there and a one paragraph summary will do nicelt to which I will do my best to respond (despite not actually knowing her personality or skillset.)

In reply to Bonny Taching (msg # 904):

'There is also a missing local lad, for whom his parents will pay $40,000. All they could muster. Boy went out from the family farm on the outskirts of the town and just disappeared. He was riding an offroad bike.'

'You have the last known location, but the country is quite wild with long grass growth had heavy woodlands. From the shuttle, it is hard to see much, but if you had someone who could track you might be better off'

'OK, So we land off slightly from the last location for the boy and see if Leticia can find anything ... we have a couple of guys go with her.'

We should decide who is going with her. Rather than have players in different locations, I would prefer it if you both choose a character going to play, so everyone remains involved. Bonny, you should be able to see Leticia's character sheet.

One of Sdian's wives, we have a son Dakota, who is a year  old.

Sdian plans to track the ground crew from the ship, so any trouble will be met with serious firepower... comparatively.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 907):

Try again. See if that worked...

OK, we try again...  we keep constant contact with Leticia and her crew.

In reply to Fate (msg # 908):

Lol, I meant for Bonny to try the character sheet again, but OK. I don't think I have had a tracking roll from Leticia yet. Are you taking any of the characters who are in the away team? Who is the away team, by the way?

We have only Duran, none of he other appear to be competent in the field. I will have to put Jurelda and Nel in the scout ship and join Duran on the ground I guess.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 911):

And Bonny?

Bonny is elsewhere... Leticia is on the ground with us...

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 913):

Ok, so Duran, Leticia and Sdian are the ones on the ground. Leticia, tracking check? (Bonnies player has control of her...)

OOC: Can now see the char sheet (with the alternative spelling of the given name.

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 913):
Bonny is back and paying attention and can be whereerver you want her to be, boss!

In reply to Fate (msg # 914):
Leticia is on tracking, confirmed.

OOC: 10:56, Today: Leticia Lensgrove rolled 9 using 3d6 with rolls of 3,2,4.  Tracking 14

In reply to Leticia Lensgrove (msg # 915):

Leticia finds the tracks initially difficult, hence the locals initial failure but she soon manages to note the subtle disturbance caused by the vehicles passing. She track for nearly two hours before the tracks lead to a shallow creek crossing. The stones make it hard to follow the track, impossible even, but the number of options are few with the thick undergrowth.

Second tracking roll to pick up the trail again. Actually, roll 5 rolls, failures can be repeated, but not critical failures.

Looks like they got away.

In reply to Leticia Lensgrove (msg # 919):

You track what appears to be a grav raft for about 8 hours, before you loose the tracks in the failing light. The reacks lead along a valley that is heavily overgrown, across several streams. it is almost as if he did not want to be tracked.

"Looks like this is as far as we get today," Leticia reports. "We can try and pick it up in the morning."

In reply to Leticia Lensgrove (msg # 921):

Do you set up camp?

Unless there's somewhere or something more convenient or compelling, yes.

In reply to Leticia Lensgrove (msg # 923):

Plenty of cover, water nearby, a few clearings that might be suitable, or you could clear a spot with heavy weapons...

We could also just have the ship pick us up for the night and put us back down tomorrow.

You could. Your call.

You would need a new tracking roll in the morning to find the trail again.

(But we do anyway, right?)
