Discussion Episode III: Revenge of the Discussion

[Krylo]

New thread as the old one was getting rather large and unwieldy.

Re: Mern, looting the champion and the sand person inside the ship gets you another cycler/gaffi stick and:

Champion's Gaffi Stick: Staff weapon with 5 ATP in melee, can be sold for 60 credits to czerka bounty officer
Tusken Auto-Loader: slug thrower rifle weapon with 8 atp and +3 ACC and a range of 10-150 paces, instead of 4-80. Auto-loading Mechanism holds five rounds. Must be reloaded once all five are expelled requiring one standard action.

[CABAL49]

I am waiting for the sixth one: Return of the Discussion.

[krogothwolf]

I feel Velmont is getting needlessly blamed for this mess :(

[Menarker]

"Ok, everyone. Who can use rifles or staves?"
*Cricket chirping*
"Anyone?"
*Silence*
"Guess, we're selling this stuff."

*Many lightyears away, Group 2 is weeping openly for the loss of a good rifle which two of their characters can use.*

[Dauntasa]

Speaking of rifles, Krylo, what are the stats of that rifle I took off the guard earlier?

[CABAL49]

I feel Velmont is getting needlessly blamed for this mess :(

Think of it from Norlan's perspective. He didn't see what was going through your head. He just saw you, George and Captain Meatbag jump around the corner.

[krogothwolf]

I suppose it can't be helped, he probably didn't hear Velmont get angry at George of the Jungle for being idiotic. Also, I think we're only waiting on IC right? because Norlan and Liflo are guarding our rear?

[Wizardcat]

It's 'Arhra', Krogo.

Out of time tonight (spent a lot of time on FFd6 char. D:), dibs on Stun Grenades. Maybe that special pistol, too. (I can actually hit stuff with it!) I might take a Medium Armor, as I'm planning to put another point in Armor, too.

[PhoenixFlame]

Wah, no special swords. Oh well, I guess I could use the spechul medium armor and a pistol of sorts.

Kinda missing a pistol.

[krogothwolf]

Sorry, Though I do love the slowly pointing out the errors in my copy pasting lol! Maybe should have read it over lol.

[CABAL49]

We can clear your name and give George a public beating after we escape. Which I assume we are trying to do a fast one. Granted we are facing more than Team Pansy, but I would like to finish our first conflict.

[Dauntasa]

So you guys were going to sit around talking until some guard on patrol stumbled into you, and yet I'm still the bad guy here?

[Krylo]

Sorry, Though I do love the slowly pointing out the errors in my copy pasting lol! Maybe should have read it over lol.

New rule.

Using, "lol," incurs the user with an automatic natural 1 on any roll of my choosing.

[Menarker]

None of the equipment does any good for me except for the stun grenades, which I'm sure someone else can use better at this point. So the only thing I would probably want is an extra helping of credits to help fund for my future massive armor or heavy weapon.

[krogothwolf]

New rule.

Using, "lol," incurs the user with an automatic natural 1 on any roll of my choosing.

That's harsh man, really harsh :(

[PhoenixFlame]

I suspect Krylo gave us an epic rifle specifically to spite the fact that nobody in our team has rifle proficiency.

Sigh, and nary a decent sword in sight.

[Krylo]

I suspect Krylo gave us an epic rifle specifically to spite the fact that nobody in our team has rifle proficiency.

Sigh, and nary a decent sword in sight.

Nah.

I didn't think that far ahead.

I actually did some rolls for your loot and you got a 20 on your rifle roll.

I DID however take joy in the fact that none of you have rifle proficiency after the fact.

SPEAKING OF SUPER RIFLES SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT SOME GUARD BITCH'S RIFLE OR SOMETHING AND I FORGOT ABOUT THAT:

Republic Blaster Rifle--10 ATP

[Dauntasa]

Awright, I'm using the guard's rifle now 'cause I picked it up earlier and it's better than mine.

[Arhra]

Heh, I think I might try and diversify into rifles when we level up. Nothing like the chance to stay far, far away from the enemy.

Also Koto is, perhaps, a little miffed at Douglas.

Charisma influences scariness, hurrah!

Just to check, we've got an ATP 12, +3 ACC blaster rifle, on top of the longer ranged Tusken Auto-Cycler?

[PhoenixFlame]

We have enough Tusken Cyclers that I suggest you build some gargantuan cycle-cycler rotary sniper rifle battery from them.

I mean, because it'd be so much more awesome than selling them all for five credits.

Edit: Someone has to tease the hot Zeltron nurse.

[Dauntasa]

Are we still just waiting on IC, here? Maybe it's time to just skip him.

[Krylo]

We were waiting on Cabal, IC, and Rapter.

However, it was time to skip them YESTERDAY, I just felt like shit.

SPEAKING OF WHICH TEAM EVIL WE NEED TO TALK:

As much as I enjoy playing games, I don't want to play your characters for you, and so I'm just wondering if there is a specific reason you guys haven't been posting or if this is a thing that was caused by just all of you having something to do for the last two days and being unable to get on.

Basically, most of the team skipping two rounds in a row kind of worries me, so if you want to either post just saying, "Hay guy, sorry I was busy" or "I'm losing interest because of x" that'd be good, and in the case of the latter maybe we can think of some way to fix that for you.

If you are losing interest due to something you don't want to say in the thread you can PM me too.

I'll see what I can do.

Edit: I also won't take it personally if some of you guys slim. It's totally to be expected. I'll just have your characters leave at the next port and try to drum up a couple of new players (like IHMN) to fill your spots.

Edit 2: Team good doesn't have me worried or anything, but if you guys have problems you may also contact me/post them. Just to be fair.

[CABAL49]

I didn't post because I couldn't think of a creative way of saying, "I am cowering behind the wall."

[Bard The 5th LW]

Nicholai is currently organizing the loot, I guess I'll crank a post out on his progress sometime today.

[Dauntasa]

I didn't post because I couldn't think of a creative way of saying, "I am cowering behind the wall."
If you don't have the time or energy to write out a whole long thing for every action just post ACTION: Whatever in here.

EDIT: Hey Krylo, did you take the 10 damage reduction from my armour into account when you calculated that?

[Krylo]

Yes, sir.

[Dauntasa]

So what's the ATP on the turrets then? Must be huge. And since I'm too lazy to write up a thing for my action right now, here it is.

ACTION: Duck back behind the wall.

[Krylo]

It wouldn't be any fun if I told you the stats, now would it?

Edit: I will say that the turrets, the guard, and the thing you'll be fighting after them, because someone thought it would be a good idea to set off the alarm, are all about comparable to the sand person champion in difficulty. Maybe a little more so due to having shields, in the case of the turrets.

[Teal Mage]

Nicholai is currently organizing the loot, I guess I'll crank a post out on his progress sometime today.

I'll wait on that then, because Petal does mean to show up and make sure Nicholai doesn't do something like set off all the grenades at once.

She has a high opinion of The Idiot, I'm sure you can tell.

[rapter200]

If I remember correctly I was checking behind a corner to make sure no guards were coming up behind us but then again what do I know (seeing as nothing ever came of that). I'll post in the morning when I wake up. Right now I am just too tired to post anything coherent. Night.

[Krylo]

You were doing that last round, actually.

Edit: 2 rounds ago.

Uh, on that investigation check... didn't really need one of those, and all that's over there is some more auto turrets.

Totally forgot to do that when I was rolling up that battle round.


You guys can poke me if I forget something like that too. I try not to as I keep everything in a .txt, but APPARENTLY I miss things sometimes.

[Dauntasa]

CABAL/Rapter, can you please start fighting back? We need help with those turrets, and if you take too much damage you can always go back around the corner.

[Krylo]

If it makes you feel better, they fought that last round.

'cause I didn't know what they were doing, 'cause they hadn't posted for a round or two.

[Dauntasa]

Really? 'Cause the post says that they were just waiting.

[Krylo]

I think you are looking at the wrong post:

-----------------
Jolis/Cabal: 13 shield damage turret 1
Dauntasa/George: 11 Damage--absorbed by Turret 1's energy shield.
Inbred/DU: 1 damage shield ding turret 1
Krogo/Velmont: 4/2 Damage--absorbed by Turret 1's energy shield
POS/Mixari: Throws 'nade dealing 10 damage to guard, and 20 damage to both turrets.
Rapter/Liflo: 1 damage shield ding turret 1
T5-M2: Misses
Jack: 5 shield damage turret 1

-----

There are 2 turrets

Turrets are 16 paces from Velmontand George, 18 paces from everyone else. Guard 3 has partial cover proving +10 EVA. Everyone who isn't Velmont/Jack/George currently has full cover as they are around the corner, and can not be struck by Guard 3 or the turrets blasters. Jack and Guard have full cover.

Guard 3 is 18 paces from Velmont/George, and 20 paces from everyone else.

Turret 1: -36/?? Shield. Actual HP -20/??.
Turret 2: -20/??
Guard 3: -10/??

George 13/29 hp

[CABAL49]

No, we were both listed doing combat. But both of us are not built for combat. We're support characters. If you duck back I can work on healing you with nothing, but without armor I am not going to be on the front lines. Perhaps this should have been thought of before abandoning a plan.

As for Krylo, I apologize. I am still behind this. I promise to be a more active coward.

[Krylo]

s'cool. No need to apologize.

I was just worried there was some real problems I'd have to work out to keep people playing.

[PhoenixFlame]

If I may... /strategist

The turrets don't move, so they can't chase you. Team evil in general seems to be a bit short of combat focused characters, so I might suggest trying to exploit the turrets most obvious weakness, the fact that they are automatons.

Jam their fire control somehow? Failing that, got smoke?

[CABAL49]

Actually, I wonder if the turrets would target T5. He is one of their droids and might be considered a friendly. Either way his size might make it easier for him to slip past the turrets and turn off the turrets.

[PhoenixFlame]

Thanks to the wonderous wonders of the internet, position should be relatively irrelevant.

[Wizardcat]

How're we on EXP, Krylo? I'm planning to put a point in Armor upon level up, but I'm not sure if we're anywhere close, yet. If we aren't, then there's no need to grab a set of medium armor, yet, is there? Speaking of which, is anyone claiming the good set of medium armor? I figure some of you could probably use it more than me... Though I won't pass it up if no one wants it.

I do want that one pistol, though. Anyone takes it and I'll scratch your face off.

[Teal Mage]

Technically, Kharr's the only character other then Nicholai who's not preoccupied by dying or keeping people alive, so, he's got like, two hours to look at the treasure horde and take what he wants.

Just, you know, pointing this out.

I'm working on a post to grab the four remaining grenades myself, since only Petal and Nicholai have Thrown Ranks and Nicholai's already been in the loot. Since no one else can use the grenades well, I doubt it's a problem? If it is, post in the OoC, I won't put mine up in the game thread for another two hours or so.

Edit: Oh, and I'll be replacing my light armor. Because these aren't damaged and mine is.

[Menarker]

"oh yeah, we should probably check the ship to make sure that the sand people didn't take anything to important from it, and also we should give these guys a proper burial. We kind of owe it to them what with us taking their stuff and all." Nicholai wanted to show some respect to the people that they were grave-robbing.

To all the sandmen and future victims of our enterprise... have a hanky, dudes. (http://pc.gamespy.com/flintlockes-guide-to-azeroth/episode-13-goblin-mystery-theater/657049p1.html)

[CABAL49]

For the sake of getting stuff done, I am going to be reckless.

Edit: None of you try to save me or anything.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Nicholai was referring to the crew, who's clothes, weapons, and ship were being taken by total strangers. But he probably wants to bury the sand people to, they're kind of an eye-sore.

[Dauntasa]

But he was the only one with a military record.

Except Liflo. And maybe George, I haven't decided yet.

[CABAL49]

He was trying to pump himself up. What was I supposed to say? "It is up to me and maybe the guy who can talk."

Edit: The way George acts pegs him as Hutt muscle to me. The Republic is too goody two-shoes to have him in there. Traitorous bastards? Yes. Wimps? Yes. Nutjobs? Yes. Men with mustaches? No way.

[Dauntasa]

Err, POS? How 'bout them 'nades?

[POS Industries]

Well, I used to have one.

You'll notice it exploded some time ago.

[Dauntasa]

Well, I used to have one.

You'll notice it exploded some time ago.

Didn't we get more than one?

[PhoenixFlame]

Nicholai was referring to the crew, who's clothes, weapons, and ship were being taken by total strangers. But he probably wants to bury the sand people to, they're kind of an eye-sore.

Nicholai has absolutely no idea what a magstick thermal detonator says about the ship, does he?

Edit: I was thinking about the nice medium armor myself, what with you know... And all, but yeah, Vira's kinda dying. Because of y'know, killing people.

[POS Industries]

Didn't we get more than one?
IC had five. I only took one.

We don't have a FF-style inventory system where all items exist in a temporal nexus that we can all reach into at any time.

[Dauntasa]

Well who the hell has the rest of them, then?

EDIT: Well, as you're the only one who said you were taking one, IC probably has the rest. And he hasn't been posting. Great.

[krogothwolf]

Well, we can send a message to him to post and then he can hand a grenade to me and you for us to toss. Or if he doesn't post Krylo will probably do that. I'm sure usually when someone mentions needing more hand grenade's he'd have someone hand him one to throw. So that's what I'm pretty much waiting for, otherwise we'll have to hope the T5 can disable them, or we'll need to blast em till they die.

[Krylo]

I know you guys wanted the grenades and what not, buuuut I kinda forgot that and rolled IC's attack, and he critted to a 30, and it just felt like a waste of a damn good roll to toss it out and hand someone a 'nade. I'd have passed it to the next person, but I rolled him last, so.

Anyway, if IC doesn't post soon you can have more grenades next round.

[Dauntasa]

So, is T5 dead?

[CABAL49]

Poor T5. I had really taken a liking to the guy. He was going to be my bff on the ship :( I thought I might have enough health for me to soak enough damage for one round. Well, we cannot lose hope gents. FOR THE REPUBLIC!

Edit: If George and Velmont join this attack, concentrating fire on the turret we might be able to take it out. I added up how much damage the first turret took, we could take it out next round, and make the guard soil himself.

[Dauntasa]

Hey, can you have IC give me a grenade, and then me step back into the hall and throw it? I can't attack with my rifle this turn because it counts as a Long Action.

[rapter200]

Well that sucks T5 is dead, maybe we can rescue his personality chip... though I don't think we will have the time to do that. Also that crit was amazing, if I were the guard I would be a bit distracted about that explosion and the possibility of shrapnel hitting me.

[krogothwolf]

T5 could still be useful as he is right now! I think. It depends on if my small frame can use it as partial cover or not.

[Dauntasa]

T5 could still be useful as he is right now! I think. It depends on if my small frame can use it as partial cover or not.

We could always pick him up and use him as a makeshift shield.

[Bard The 5th LW]

You all seemed pretty depressed about T-5's death for about 5 seconds there.

So much for a morality pet.

[krogothwolf]

I was never depressed! The stupid droid apparently thought, disable power to shields = turn corner and shoot at it. The thing had a suicide wish. It gave me potential cover anyways, so it's serving it's purpose.

[CABAL49]

I am very depressed. I plan on bringing his body with us.

[PhoenixFlame]

Maybe he hated you so much he decided to commit suicide.

Er, well... I guess shooting constitutes disabling power to the shields, though.

[Krylo]

If you must know, he was just shooting on his way to the office.

Which is where the nearest console was.

Which is where he could have altered the programming from.

[krogothwolf]

If you must know, he was just shooting on his way to the office.

Which is where the nearest console was.

Which is where he could have altered the programming from.

All of which would have worked wonders if someone hadn't jump the gun.

Damnit George.

[Arhra]

Oh! I completely forgot to mention the slave hold!

Contains 1500 credits, spice, and the odour of moral questionableness!

Hmm, perhaps I'll work that into a next post. Tomorrow!

[CABAL49]

So Team Pansy gets drugs, money, and guns. Team Badass gets sent to prison, a dead droid, and a pissed off guards/turrets. I thought being morally questionable meant drugs, money and guns! People, we are getting out today. We are also going to get the most pimped out ship in Naboo.

[Dauntasa]

And before we leave, we're going to steal all the drugs, money, and guns from this place. So we'll have a bigass ship, drugs, money and guns. And these guards are starting to piss me off, so I say we take a couple with us and then blast one out the airlock whenever we get bored. Or make them play Russian Roulette until there's only one left, then blast him out the airlock.

[krogothwolf]

You do that and you'll join them. Morals or not, murder of a captive isn't something I'm going to let you do when it isn't warranted.

[CABAL49]

Next plan of action! Liflo and me have the same/highest computer use skill. Since there is a terminal in that office, I suggest he goes in and tries to lock down the facility so guard reinforcements can't catch up to us. Let's face it, they know we're here and we can't fight a battalion of guards. Velmont and Jolis will Will secure a ship, with Velmont's lock picking and Jolis' computer use and piloting, this shouldn't be an issue. I assume Jack will want to lead the way, so he can be back up if there are any other guards in the hanger. I suggest putting Miraxi as a lookout incase we need to drop everything and run, and placing George to guard Liflo.

The opportunity to take a hostage is very unlikely, and would probably be waste of time. And the way Jolis is, he doesn't mind killing and murder so much as he needs a logical reason(money, women, they want to kill him) for it. Murdering a captive is a little too hot for him and would disapprove as well. Although doing so wouldn't make him angry so much as leave. And Team Pansy could always use a pilot!

[Teal Mage]

I suggest putting Miraxi as a lookout incase we need to drop everything and run, and placing George to guard Liflo.

Personally, I'd suggest you start by getting to the room. Don't forget the ship codes either, since you need those to make your ship start, when that's done, well, take it from there! 'Cause, you know, counting on hacking the security system of a prison and making it dance on your whim - or just shutting down the bloody turrets - might be a really big if.

If you can manage either?

Great!

If you can't?

Run fast!

Also splitting up's just a bad idea. You guys are all low level!

So Team Pansy gets drugs, money, and guns. Team Badass gets sent to prison, a dead droid, and a pissed off guards/turrets.

Remind me, which of us wouldn't kill the guards to escape a prison because that was wrong?

[CABAL49]

'Cause, you know, counting on hacking the security system of a prison and making it dance on your whim - or just shutting down the bloody turrets - might be a really big if.

My plan is for after we shoot the turret and guard down. It is the only plan of action since the guard is in the office.


Also splitting up's just a bad idea. You guys are all low level!

Again, this is for after the guard/turret. If there was any guards in the hanger, I am sure they would have noticed the explosion and investigated. My plan is to overwhelm the turret and guard then shut the place down to prevent reinforcements. If we let the guards regroup, it won't matter if we are together or not. We would all die.

Remind me, which of us wouldn't kill the guards to escape a prison because that was wrong?

I was joking there. Also, there is a line in my mind between murder and drugs.

Edit: I was also trying to point out that your team is doing much better than ours at the moment.

[Wizardcat]

Short post is short, but still a post.

Time limits suck.

[Bard The 5th LW]

My post is even shorter, but I wanted to give Nicholai a chance to be annoying, and agree to leaving the ship.

edit: Ok, I thought up enough repetitiveness in speech to make the post longer

[Dauntasa]

You do that and you'll join them. Morals or not, murder of a captive isn't something I'm going to let you do when it isn't warranted.

But there would be a reason. If they chase us, we can shoot people out the airlock at them. Nothing is more demoralizing than one of your friends splattering on your windshield.

[PhoenixFlame]

But there would be a reason. If they chase us, we can shoot people out the airlock at them. Nothing is more demoralizing than one of your friends splattering on your windshield.

"Lock subsystem: Life Support"

No sense taking prisoners anymore, commander.

[krogothwolf]

Alright, so my wife is being induced tomorrow to force our little wee one to come out. I may or may not be able to post to much between thursday morning and saturday sometime. Will try to pop in to add anything if ours advances somewhat. It just all depends on how much hospital time they wish her to have.

Also, I don't think tossing out crewmen from the airlock would have the desired effects you'd want. And unnecessary and cold blooded murder is not something Velmont will allow.

[CABAL49]

But there would be a reason. If they chase us, we can shoot people out the airlock at them. Nothing is more demoralizing than one of your friends splattering on your windshield.

The probability of hitting another ship with a body is the equivalent of trying to shoot a sewing needle 100 meters away.

Pfft! Excuses. Just kidding. My sister's kid was born a week from yesterday. Hers was induced too, and it still took the little bastard about 15 hours to get here. Have fun daddy.

[Dauntasa]

The probability of hitting another ship with a body is the equivalent of trying to shoot a sewing needle 100 meters away.


That's why we send hundreds out at the same time. Scattergun them.

[CABAL49]

Would anyone be upset if I put my updates in Haiku form from now on?

[Dauntasa]

Would anyone be upset if I put my updates in Haiku form from now on?

I would. I would not, however, mind if you put them in Iambic Pentameter.

[krogothwolf]

Well, I'm back! Whoot! And now a father. I'm sorta glad is slowed down while I was away.

[POS Industries]

Wow, congratulations, Krogo!

[Krylo]

Well, I'm back! Whoot! And now a father. I'm sorta glad is slowed down while I was away.

Great, another one of you.



I'd like to apologize for my... uh... inactivity.

I don't really have a good excuse. I've had time and all.

I've just felt like shit.

I'm going to pretend I did it so Krogo wouldn't be left behind while he was busy watching a baby pop out of his wife, however. It makes me seem like less of a lazy ass.

Working on Team Tatooine post now, Team Naboo post already up.

[rapter200]

Don't worry about it Krylo I am pretty sure everyone is fine with it. I know that I myself prefer this slower speed. Congrats Krogoth, a new chapter of your life has just started.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Congratulations Krogo! I think you'll make a great dad. And don't worry about it Krylo. I've had similar moments.

[CABAL49]

With T5 completely dead, I am far too distraught to congratulate you Krogo. Our time was brief but precious. That guard must have had a hell of a roll though.

Edit: There daddy Krogo. As a congratulations, I am going to keep your character alive.

[krogothwolf]

You know, I was going "well it could blow up more but seriously am I that big of a threat the guard would want to do that to try to eliminate as everyone else is firing with bigger guns. And i didn't figure he had the skill to do that, he's just a guard after all. Apparently he did :/ and that's smarts. So is it a Full round to stand back up?

[Arhra]

Congratulations Krogo!

Oh Krylo, I was wanting to ask if there's any other ways out of the ship other than the ramp?

Especially ones that could usefully serve as a sniper nest, like that weird elevator hatch on the top of the Millenium Falcon that gets used once in the Empire Strikes Back and then never is seen again?

[Dauntasa]

So, what's going on here? Are we letting this die?

[CABAL49]

If someone will tell me where Kyrlo lives, I will handcuff him to his computer and force him to update us. That goes for the rest of you slackers on Team Badass. Krogo will be allowed to see his wife and kid one hour a day. Just because, you know..I'm nice.

[Krylo]

Team uh... badass, as I guess you guys like to be called (despite being shot up by guards and what not) isn't getting updated as often as it should, I'll admit.

This has to do with a) I still feel shitty. I have been awake a total of 11 out of the last 48 hours. And, the bigger issue, b) half your group isn't posting so then I put it off to let some people post more, and then I'm like, "oh shit, it's been like a week," as no one else posts.

Anyway, I'll get on that before I go back to sleep.


Edit:

Ok, the only member of team evil who has the right to complain is Cabal.

Whom is the only one who has posted since the last battle update.

Edit 2: There's no sniper's roost on top of the ship, Arhra. Ramp is only way in or out.

[CABAL49]

I won't complain. I'll just be passive-aggressive to everyone's post until the end of the internet and beyond.

Also, I am pretty sure my shot will kill the guard. I mean, he's taken two grenades. Jolis is shielding Velmont with his life, so unless he moves he'll be safe. I can probably take a round of damage from the guard, and if not Liflo can fly the ship while the others carry my body (unless I am dead.)

TL;DR I would like a roll if it is possible.

[Arhra]

Clearly we must charge down the ramp and mow those Sand People down in a hail of poorly aimed blaster fire.

THAT'S THE STORMTROOPER WAY!

[krogothwolf]

Sorry, I was waiting for an answer about how long it takes to stand up and since I never saw one I forgot to post anyways, my bad there.

[Teal Mage]

Striking a blow for fashion is worth every drop of blood Petal has shed!

I also get the dubious honor of being the first PC to get knocked out. So, uh, team in in the ship? Whenever you're feeling up to it, some help would be wonderful. Since, you know, bleeding here.

Oddly, Petal's pride remains unwounded at the moment.

[Menarker]

I'll try to make a post to help with that in a few days. Busy with a project due Tuesday. Would also be nice if I could get Davis as my "Meatshield" or else I'll be joining you too with my face in the sand.

Oddly, Petal's pride remains unwounded at the moment.

Probably because Nicholai wasn't there to make a comment on it. Well, if he was there, he'd probably go serious business mode about now. But instead he's annoying people at Anchorhead.

And I have a feeling that these sand people won't be made of rice paper. Just to make things difficult. This coupled with Petal's declining health won't end well.

[krogothwolf]

Was there anything of note on the three guards?

[Krylo]

Sorry, forgot about that. Just three more electro prods assuming you're ignoring their rifles and not stripping them nude.

[krogothwolf]

I'll take one rifle I guess, need a souvenir of the trip! Is the door locked? If it is I'm going to attempt to use the security card I found to unlock it, since the other guards don't seem to have any. Best to be ready for anything people!

Unless are party is actually gone :( Then it's just you and me cabal!

If I hadn't rolled a one, they'd be dead.

And in Petal's professional opinion, for missing her targets, she had this coming!

Although, damn, the RNG really doesn't like me.

[CABAL49]

Stripping them nude might be funnier if they weren't...you know...dead.

WE GOT THIS BROTHER! You and me. Terrorizing the stars and mating with alien women!

Edit: Forgot about Jack. Can't forget our wingman.

[Krylo]

Well one is only unconscious.

[CABAL49]

If they were all alive, I would be in full support of cuffing them together nude. But stripping dead people for a joke is weird for me rather than funny.

But in the case of the one survivor: Dauntasa, we are not taking him with us or executing him.

[Krylo]

Also, I feel the need to mention this: Cabal you do realize you have 0 computer use skill, right?

That can't stop someone who rolls a 20, though. Not on a mundane internal slicing attempt anyway with shitty security in the first place.

[krogothwolf]

Said he has 2 in his character sheet. Just under Vehicles.

[Krylo]

Did he edit it after I made my files?

'cause it's not in my files.

Edit: Just checked. Apparently he did. Moved them from crafting.

Fix'd my files.

[krogothwolf]

I didn't because after failing my last few lock picking checks I figured I'd set off more alarms with no skill in it.

[Krylo]

Well, I use random.org for rolls, which uses atmospheric noise--as it's about as random as you can get, so if you had done it and I had done the rolls when I would have in that case, they would have probably turned out differently.

[rapter200]

Sorry about that guys, I am still in this. I have just been distracted by school, work, and Mass Effect 2.

[CABAL49]

Yeah, I changed my stats one last time before you put the thread up originally. Sorry. Still a natural 20 is pretty freaking badass.

Edit: Not really my place to judge, but doesn't petal have grenades? Why didn't you just chuck one of those suckers down there and call mission accomplished?

[Arhra]

For some reason I had the ghoulish thought of later sneaking a dead Sand Person into someone's room or perhaps just putting it somewhere public and dressing it as one of the players.

Thankfully Koto's complete lack of any lifting ability renders this too hard to pull off.

[Dauntasa]

Just take a head and rig it with a string on someone's bedroom door so that it flies down at them when they open it.

[CABAL49]

I would really like to fly the Ebon Hawk guys.
