Did you still have the mirror shard? You could (perhaps should) escape through that.
The spiders ... lol. Yeah, they are reflective. lol. Just don't fail the check, right? :-J
Other than that, I'd find the restrooms. Even a Spiral Dancer would be too afraid to make people work without giving them mirrors in bathrooms. That sounds like an OSHA/quality-of-life issue.

As for everybody else, they did log in on Tuesday. Maybe give them a few days? It was Valentine's Day this week. :)

I mean, what does the Umbra look like? Is there a tunnel leading up to the surface?

((Still here!))

In reply to White Shadow (msg # 212):

Wrong thread. ^^

  Since White Shadow was wondering, and we have the whole telepathic link thing going (as well as some familiarity): Ghost's first priority is to deal with the humans who ran up the ramp (and who clearly know what they're involved with). Second - and possibly related via keycards or the like - is to make sure they secure a way out and that Big Sister is safe.

  Once those things are seen to, step three is to do as much damage to the place as possible without getting any pack members killed. Killing the Dancer would definitely be part of that.

  She puts 'secure an exit' ahead of 'kill the wyrm' because we still don't know just how big the place is or how heavy its defenses are - there could be a lot more to it than one room, and if all that stuff goes *kaboom* due to Big Sister's stunt then we  really don't want to be inside at the time!

  So coming back later with a larger force is acceptable if there's too much to deal with on our own. No Light Brigade stuff here.

Is it safe to assume the door is now fully shut behind us?  Is there an obvious way to open it from the inside (ex. key card pad, emergency open button).  The humans were running towards it so I assume there must be some way to open it.

  They probably have something, although I suppose that even if they don't, the tunnel up might seem like the best available shelter from an exploding truck.


  Should we go into combat rounds right now, or do the initial humans get narrative treatment and it's what comes down below that's the issue?

Dang nab it!

(Psst. Wrong thread again!)

Also: are we in combat rounds? Or just a vague approximation until the enemies are more than scenery for garou?

Uh, hm. Yes, but...
I dont worry about initiative unless it is important for some reason. (*$#^&@ apostrophe key on this laptop is broken.) If you want to take more than one action during your post, declare and apply multiple actions per standard rules. Otherwise, you post and I will post a reaction from the NPCs. Just try not to steal all the limelight from other players. :)

I singlehandedly slay all the humans and gut the Black Spiral!

Do I win?

;)

lol :-b Sure thing. Make the rolls. :-b

I find waiting for your turn in play-by-post stinks, particularly if you have a slow GM. :-J I try to avoid it whenever possible.

  C'mon, everyone! Ghost's human-bowling just made an opening to let you get at the gunmen without eating silver!

In reply to Ghost-of-Silver (msg # 222):

Ghost-of-Silver's maneuver worked as advertised. Feel free to capitalize on it and add description as needed. :)

Sorry I've been slow; dealing with work stuff and a cascade of parental responsibilities. Hopefully I'll be able to pick the pace back up from here.

I'd also dig it, if we're rolling without initiative, if we could get a clear "new round" marker of some sort when one starts.

  Edit: Everyone except for Valgard has now acted in this round, I think? So new round once he posts.

  ...did we lose both Valgard and the GM?

Sent myself an email reminder and still missed it😩

Hi, all.
So, explanation. I got into a professional 3-month Boot Camp program kind of at the last minute at the beginning of March that basically took 80 hours a week--lol. After that, I spent a month and a half publishing a couple of short stories and a novella and an RPG book.
Long and short? I've been so busy I haven't even had time to log in until my email reminded me about the site this week.
So... Hope all you guys are doing well and winning at life!

I'm still very busy right now, so I don't have a lot of time for RPOL. I also don't know how many of you guys remain invested in this game after six-odd months. I guess I'm polling for player interest.
What do you guys think? I can turn over ownership of the game, if anyone else has more time. I may be able to keep running it on a slow schedule, (once a week or so?) depending on how my other games go. I won't know until I get replies.

So. Missed you guys? Hope COVID didn't get you? Blessings and good health and all that jazz?

Thanks,
Jonathan

ROFL :-b
Well, it's good to see that the 2020 apocalypse hasn't stolen your rapier wit, at least.

I'm still here, and while I prefer a fast pace, slow is still better than frozen.
