Yep, your weapons skill is high enough to allow you to make multiple attacks. Makes it harder to hit each target though.

Sorry what do I roll?

You roll 1d6 and spend as many points from your pool of 'Weapons' points (currently at 8) as you want to add +1 per point. You have to beat the Hit Threshold of your target - I won't say what that is here (or suspense purpose) but the standard is 3 with someone with a bit more combat trained likely to be 4.

Whoever your second target is gets +2 to their Hit Threshold by dint of being the second target. It's a different roll (and separate spend of points) for each target.

I will be spotty until Mon April 12. Please puppet Wayne until I return.

Sorry for the considerable delay on the last update, work managed to get on top of me the last couple of weeks.

My intention is to try and pick up my posting pace (as I have been lax of late) with a view to finishing this scene and then taking stock. We seem to have lost all but two players (though Kate seems to check in regularly) so I might do a recruitment drive after you leave Marrakech if everyone still present is keen to carry on?

Yes. Much fun.

I am here too! And having similar slow, erratic posting rates as well...

But I do enjoy the heck out of Gumshoe and am enjoying this Mystery!

I feel like the team would have set up a few loose exit strategies for when they found the target.

This seems like a coordination between the ground team and the tech team to help navigate to the safest rendezvous to persue one of the exits previously designed.

Right?

Now, I don't have nearly enough facts and spy skill in my head to come up with exactly what those plans might be...

I have urban survival 2, I could burn a contact to have a friend in Morocco who would be willing to stash them.

I think either a spent point of Preparedness or Urban Survival would be sufficient to make a clean getaway.

More generally what is the plan? Lie low somewhere in Marrakech for a bit and debrief Olivia or make a hasty exit from the city and leave the country from elsewhere?

I think the first.

Preparedness!

It's what I am here for.

I think getting out of Marrakech sooner rather than later.

To somewhere where we can control the ground and have more resources.

You're the brains of the outfit Felix.

Well, with all the likely fuss about to happen in the city....  And the fact that those after the target are already watching the transportation hubs...

Perhaps we divide up and drive out of the city in pre-prepared rental cars?

Drive to Casablanca.  Bigger, still touristy, easy to hide in, likely alot of potential contacts and such.

It has airports, trains, And a busy port.  Lots of routes from there.

Casablanca...I thought it was an island.

About a 2hr 44min drive from Marrakech according to Google.  City on the cost.  Major economic hub.

And a kick ass Bogart movie.

Truth.

I'm good with moving on to the next thing.

Felix has data to review.  They can get Olivia Liu to her new life from here easily enough.  Maybe.

You can assume that Olivia makes it, or is accompanied, to an airport without incident where she promptly gets the heck out of Dodge leaving you with copies of all her notes. She'll leave you with a way to contact her so may well serve as a useful contact in the future if you can think of anything she might be useful for.

In terms of where to go from here I suppose the most obvious options are following up the leads to Romania or chasing down your/Olivia's original contact to see if they can provide any more light on the situation. They also owe you some money for a job well done in respect of Olivia!

That said if you have any other ideas then feel free to pursue another path. Obviously there are, or at least were, a number of heavily armed goons running around Marrakech who might be a source of more information if you were minded to track them down.

I say we collect our money first.

Of course the money first.  There are bills to be paid.

Felix will also be combing through Olivia's data.  But for right now, its just a hobby.  Pure curiosity.  After which, he might suggesting following up on some of the leads in Romania.

Again, just for curiosity.

Sorry for the delay in responding - was unwell and then went away for a bit. I'll move things along by the end of the week.

Sorry...  My life has been....  Hectic and computer time is almost nil.

Apologies for being so long in posting and I will try to post something soon.

As a note, I don't think it will be much better for the foreseeable future.
