Yes, you gave me something very good to work with. :-)

at 02:41 | OOC 1Oh geez, two Veracity posts to respond to now!
By the way Vera, not trying to plow past what I assume is a very amazing deception roll, but the DM said Kreo recognized the tiefling from afar (likely to smooth initial trust?) so I'm going with

at 03:04 | OOC 1Yeah, she's in a light disguise that looks like herself after 20 more years smoking and working in a mine, so totally plausible Kreo recognized her :) Good luck when she gets into deep cover, though!

at 04:23 | OOC 1That was so rude of Frack to leave you in the lurch, but in his defense, he was distracted by a downpour of shiny metal fasteners! Had it not been for that, you would've been answered by a flourish of bows and "at your service"s and what not. They say first impressions are important. I hope Frack can recover.
At least Kreo had the common courtesy to answer your questions.

at 17:01 | OOC 1With a touch of metagaming in mind, I'm not sure there is any point now in more people going up to the office via the crane? Is there any way out, that way, or do we have to go through the workers anyway?
Also, Procz is still looking for someone...

I don't think any one of you has all this information, but between you you know or suspect:
-The main entrance from which Procz, Kreo, and Frack entered. This is the closest exit and would take you back out front to where the striking workers and Steel Resolved were when last you saw them (which has been not very long at all, just a minute or two).
-Down the stairs, across the engine room, and out the way the other three came in. Last they knew, there were three Steel Resolve out there.
-There may be a train or other means by which workers and/or goods are shuttled to and from the factory. This would presumably be at the rear, where the factory is built into the wall of the volcano, and would require getting passed the workers who are currently fighting a blob of water.
-There are large windows all along the top of the factory and a skylight in the ceiling. These are all accessible via the catwalks where Vecaal currently is. The windows would lead back out front, 100' or so up in the air. The skylight would put you on the roof, a bit higher up but less visible to those below.

at 01:24 | OOC 1The roof exit sounds kinda appealing, now that I see the options. We don't know what we'll encounter on the way out, but we do know that there'll be some difficulty at any of the other potential exits!

at 02:58 | Re: OOC 1| Frack: | | Frack scrunched his face and adjusted his helmet in deep thought. While temporarily distracted by a strange alcohol elemental, the approaching gnomes didn't look friendly, nor did they look like Ilya Gyula (whoever he was)."Well, since nobody here looks like a half-orc, I suppose we'd best look somewhere else." He shrugged and pointed to the office above. "Maybe he's up there." |
Just to clarify, Ilya Gyula is female, but Frack missed that detail.

at 23:58 | Re: OOC 1Baz's crew is aware of a half-orc in the engine room (different name ostensibly). How close are we to Frack? Enough that we could overhear this? I presumed Procz was yelling to get Baern's attention.

Guv - I love it!
Plus, I also love how Vera describes her voice as super-legit for a factory technician. At first, I wondered how good her disguise actually was, but after I read that it was super-legit and totally legitimate in two seperate, non-biased posts, I am now at ease!

Haha, thanks! Everyone in the scene just sees an entirely unsuspicious worker, but gotta make sure the reader is aware how amazingly convincing Vera's acting is. I am having fun writing all this cheekiness, though :)

at 12:15 | OOC 1I get the sense everyone's looking to rush downstairs now, but I didn't want to cut things short unless folks have more questions for Donna. When you're ready, please post an initiative roll and, if you wish to approach stealthily, a Stealth roll as well (keep in mind this will reduce your speed. and you've got a lot of basement to cross - roughly 200' - to get from the stairs to the maintenance bay door). It is an option for some of you to rush in and others to remain hidden - in fact, as long as at least one person is not going Stealth, then anyone who is can roll with advantage, as those charging in will provide a distraction.

at 04:03 | OOC 1Two setting questions:- How outlandish is a dragon sighting in Coglinton in the present day and age? It's extraordinary of course, but should it be impossible because they're meant to be extinct?
- How long has it been since liberation from the dragon empire?

at 13:39 | OOC 1Good questions! Both things I should have clarified before now.
| Veracity: | Two setting questions:- How outlandish is a dragon sighting in Coglinton in the present day and age? It's extraordinary of course, but should it be impossible because they're meant to be extinct?
- How long has it been since liberation from the dragon empire?

1. Extraordinary but not impossible. Skakatoa's crew chased off or killed their competition, so even when she was alive, other dragons were not really about. Presumably they're still somewhere in the world, but between fear of her and then fear of those who were strong enough to kill her (and whose hatred for dragons is well known), they're never seen anywhere near Coglinton. There are rumors of a secret society called The Descendants who have some interest in bringing dragons back, but there have not been any confirmed sightings in decades.
2. Nearly two hundred years. Some among the longest-lived races would have been alive for it, but for most, dragons are more of an inherited memory/fear.
