Re: OOC6: Because

Glad to hear that your apprenticeship seems to be going well, Toombs.  I'm also happy to see you have unwrapped the underlying reasons why I chose the name Caduceus for my snake shaman.  He has many of the same or similar traits as what you described. ;)

Re: OOC6: Because

PB&J is tasty, but I can understand how it might've been wearing a little thin.  And always nice to have a test that's out of more than 100%, especially when you can ace it.

How long until you progress from apprentice to master wizard? :>

That's awesome! I am glad things are working out for you!

But yes, food is good.

Re: OOC6: Because

Master electrowizard is over 6 years from now, but I should be a journeyman electrowizard (barring mishap) in 3.5 years. That is, if the current thaumaturgical studies don't cause that arcane seesaw mentioned in Discworld, and my brains come exploding out my ears because math hurts my head sometimes.

Re: OOC6: Because

Suddenly, Noruas here's a shotgun blast from the entrance as the bouncer is blown through the door.  The two of the three orcs burst through with automatic weapons and begins spraying the bar left and right.  The patrons drop to the floor either suffering from bullet wounds or to find cover and return fire.  Noruas slips from his seat to the floor keeping real care in not spilling his drink.  He pulls out his Predator and begins shooting back in between sips of his soda....

Re: OOC6: Because

I did actually have to read the section of the module twice to figure out how they slipped guns past the security that you all had to drop your gear off with. The answer is, they're very big orks, with rather small handguns.

(But if you want to shoot them in the back, you certainly have the freedom to do so.)

Re: OOC6: Because

=Copperhead:
Door from front bar has troll bouncer beside it and leads to "private bar" and there's a door to the meeting room somewhere within that back-room bar.  So they'd have to cow or disable the bouncer, break through the one door, then find and open/break through the second door.  Presuming there's only one private room and the Orks know the site, that's reasonable, but if they've got a brain, they won't have all 3 of them coming into the inner room.  In any event, there'd presumably be a round to react to the breaking of the outer door before the door to the room get's opened.

As well, the orks are really confident or really stupid if they leave the two bouncers and 2 bartenders (minimum) uncovered as they come into the room, as I presume their first move would be to grab some firepower and cover the "meeting room".  Is it accurate that none of the 3 orcs is trying to cover the area?  Is the local staff doing anything?


It seems like the module didn't anticipate a lot of outside coverage :P

But yes, it's just three, no one in the bar is interfering with them. Presumably there's some familiarity between them. Plus their pistols, while not super-effective against armored foes, are rather small.

quote:
So the Shadowy Figure is just hanging out and watching?  No vehicle visible in the alley?Can the Bison get into position so that it can easily block the exit to the alley?


Yep. And yes, but he could still flee back towards the bar.

Crawling the drone out isn't likely to work very well. Beyond it likely being spotted on the crawl over, the connection is really bad so you're liable to lose it suddenly, or have other movement issues.

Re: OOC6: Because

1) Yes, they appear to move a little awkwardly, suggestive of some sort of enhancements.
2) Should this be in the game thread?

Actually, I posted that because I was bored and wanted to hint at moving on to the next scene in this blockbuster hit.  ;)  I apologize if I may have caused any unnecessary confusion or stepped on any toes.

Re: OOC6: Because

What is a holocube?  Does it make pictures?  I probably should have asked that before I posted.

It's a cube that has nothing inside of it.

Re: OOC6: Because

Ah, so it may have pictures of him programmed on it or something.  Even so, I think Caduceus would still ask for a formal picture if it is available.

Like a trid, but with limited video range. Usually they're still pictures.

So it may be worth bringing the artifacts out to the group. Touch base and pool your skills.

I expect that's the plan once the J finishes answering questions.

Re: OOC6: Because

Yeah, i was waiting to see if White Duck had any closing statements or anyone had more questions they wanted to ask, but if not, Caduceus can gather their stuff and head out of the bar and to Copperhead's van.  He'll drive his motorcycle if they go anywhere right now though, but he will check and see if anyone wants him to try trailing anyone with his magic/astral projection.

Re: OOC6: Because

Copperhead had suggested a few more questions.  It's up to White Duck to decide if/how he wants to ask them or if he has any others.  It would certainly be good to know what the mission parameters are in terms of other interested parties and if/how we're authorized to deal with them.

Re: OOC6: Because

Would Caduceus using a service to keep things under wraps with Concealment work?  From the power description it seems that it only aids with attempts to hide things and keep them from being found.  I don't know if it would suppress the sound of gun fire.  Would I phrase the service as , "conceal any shots fired at "the guy""?  Also, if your flying drone fires, would it even be in the city domain at its current height?  At the very least, I could say "conceal "that guy" when he becomes unconscious" so that his body is harder to spot by bystanders, and it won't help our enemy hide if he only receives a glancing blow or Copperhead misses completely.  (I know your roll was awesome, but Caduceus doesn't. ;) )

Sorry for the boat load of rambling questions.  Would it just be easier to just have Caduceus use his Influence spell to have "that guy" head down the alley?

Re: OOC6: Because

Hey guys, it's been a really hectic week on my end. For good reasons, of course: I just landed a new job! Anyway, apologies for not being able to check in as frequently as of late. I'm freed up now though, so I'll go ahead and post after this.

Re: OOC6: Because

No need to conceal the gunfire - I've got silencers on the rifles.  It's more about the body hitting the ground.  As I understand it, the service covers all sensory detection.

Copperhead doesn't know the influence spell is an option.  If you propose that over the radio, she'd be open to it.  A simple suggestion that he thinks they're about to turn around should be enough to make him act without thinking about it too much (i.e. a bonus to your roll).  Not sure if this is worth drain for though.

WD: Congrats on the new job!

PB: We need a new thread . . .

Re: OOC6: Because

I think I'll try the spell.  I actually have that one as an exclusive spell to lower its force, so the drain risk is lowered.  The only thing is that it takes 15 rounds to make the suggestion permanent.  Does the suggestion still go into effect before it becomes permanent, so long as Caduceus remains concentrating?

Another option is to have my city spirit use Fear to try and help scare him down the alleyway.

Re: OOC6: Because

The trick would be to scare him into the alley rather than away from it, but whatever you think you can pull off :>
