"But the more pressing problem at this point is my training. I am trained in fire, metal, and earth, so those are the patterns I can make sense of at the moment. The best ideas for patterns to survive underwater are water and air, which I was planning on learning soon. Let me see if there is a large enough metal supply here to build a box for us to travel in."</Purple>

I am planning to use Shapeshift-Aquatic for myself and maybe you if you want it. The issue is those from the non-magical Cosms, as the diving gear exceeds the horror Cosms tolerance for tech (as much as Shapeshift exeeds their tolerance for magic). I am going to have to think about this one, but I doubt that there is a 'good' solution.

Many boxes remain to be inspected when the conversation is broken by a radio transmission:

"PBY, you have taken off without clearance. Report back to your point of origin."

Looking out, you can see a Spitfire fighter on either side of your commandeered plane.

Re: The Guard is watching

Hamalek speaks to the air: "My point of origin is..." The pilot hands him the transmitter and gives a brief demonstration. Hamalek pushes the button and begins again. "My point of origin is Castle Liandar on the continent of Aysle. Are you planning to escort us there?"

15:17, Today: Hamalek rolled 6 using 1d20.  Taunt spitfires (One on Many)
15:18, Today: Hamalek rolled 15 using 1d20.  Possibility on Taunt.

Total die roll 21 (+8) +8 Charisma (unskilled Taunt) = 16. That's enough to succeed at one if their Taunt is 14 or less, both if their Taunt is 12 or less. If this is better as a Trick, I have a 13 for that, 5 higher than my Taunt.

Re: The Guard is watching

Therein was found:
10 Diving Suits
10 Torpedo Guns
10 Spear Guns
10 "Oxygrenades"
1 Mechanic w/equipment, bound as for a potential sacrifice and quite happy to be found.

Re: The Guard is watching

Pierre cut 'the mechanic' loose, apologising for how long it had taken for them to get around to properly checking the plane. "I am desole Madame, that we did not find you earlier. Desole! Water? Are you wounded?"

Re: The Guard is watching

After being cut loose, Abby grabs a pipewrench from the stuff that had been put in the box with her and start swinging it around trying to make space around her. Finally she realizes that these were not the Nazi wannabes.

Still keeping the wrench pointed toward the man who cut her loose, "What... where are we? Are we in the air? Who are y'all?"

Edging back from the flailing, Pierre did his best to answer. "What what? About 300km NE of the Nile Delta. Yes. Pierre deGaulle, DGSE. Yourself?"

Re: The Guard is watching

The spitfires start shooting:

D: H Flurry V —
Act: TEST/INTIMIDATION

Heroes are up. Side guns can each target one spitfire, top gun can target either but not both.

Having figured out how to use this "communicator", Hamalek speaks into it again: "Attention: Whoever it is that ordered this attack. You will regret this."


23:00, Today: Hamalek rolled 9 using 1d20 ((9)). Test 13 -1 Bonus = 12 vs. lead Spitfire.

"My name is Abby..." she starts to say when the spitfires open up. "Are we being shot at?" she yells and rushes over to the belt gun on the left side of the plane. Recognizing the markings on the planes she curses and starts firing.

7 to hit. LOL not a stellar start.
10:53, Today: Abigail 'Abby' Ginn rolled 8 using 1d20.  Firing on Spitfire.

For a moment you see a line of bullet holes on the spitfire Jim targeted; then you realize a thermal had lifted it out of the way.

Pierre hesitated, and was lost. Well, not lost, but pre-empted. both mg positions were filled. Thinking rapidly, he climbed onto his slicboard and flew out of the side door. Setting his armor to 'parade silver', he boomed threat. "Flee fools, for I am the Silver Surfer!!!"

I would be worried about opening a plane door to do that, but this is the Nile Empire. Things like lack of oxygen that high up don't apply, heheh.
