Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#81Hm. I get the RPing urge every week. Must be my pen-and-paper deficit. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#82I rarely do pen and paper anymore. The less I do it, the weaker the urge. :'( -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#83I will post once more in reply to Curies actions. Then I wait for val, d_d and Muro.
I want to make sure everyone is aboard before I continue the game.
If any of you cannot participate at the moment, please say so here so we don't sit up late waiting for a no show. ;) -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#84Did we also see the old man vanish? -

#85Kiph saw him vanish (GM Dice Roll Thread) -

Let me read the game thread and post up.

Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#87Riv has made is appearance, though a bit hesitantly. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#88Gah. I really want to play, but we have a family vacation coming up, and next 2-3 weeks in general are rough for me. Will be back in July to play if the chapter is still, umm, chaptering along. AG, up to you what you want to do with the Kiphster. At your total discretion.
Have fun gents. I know you will! I wish i could play... -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#89I think Kiph will be distracted by something, for some time and some reason. ;)
Have a good vacation M!
All you other guys: Welcome aboard! -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#90Anyone want to post before I move the game forward? -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#91Curie "13" strikes me as Sheldon Cooper's dream date!
Hahaha :) -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#92AG: nah, she has no published papers; also, does Sheldon Cooper date at all? -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#93I have a viva voce defence on Wednesday, exam on Friday, another exam on next Wednesday and a a major deadline next Friday, so I'm going to be mostly out of it for the next two weeks.
Sorry everyone!
I am done with my stupid degree after this, though, so :woot: -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#94Shall we keep on gaming, Echo and val? We are down to 50% manpower.
dark_dragon: Good luck on your exams! Show them what England's finest can do! -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#95Well, DD's character is supposed to be the main driver here, so perhaps we should wait. Or just totally f up the situation to make his mission moot :)
-
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#96Well, we can go slowly while he finishes his exams. As you guys are just dancing around, I might as well change the scene in my next post. If we encounter a DD required scene we just halt.
Deal? -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#97Aye. We have fun while we can, and when the need for DeeDee arises, we shall wait. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#98Those of you who wish to post, say so soon. If no one replies to this or the game thread I am going to take the game further (into the dropships).
Right now you can do anything in the time span from your previous post to the end of Steel's speech. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#99I sure do want to post, it will just take some time. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#100Val, d_d, are you guys gonna post? If you are, reply in this or the other thread, if not: I am gonna post as soon as Echo does (unless it takes so long I lose "the drive") -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#101Well, I will basically have to re-read the thread to get again an idea of who's who, and what's to do. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#102I'm going to follow EM's lead on this one. Honestly, I have a hard time adding to these - I'm more reactive, but I'll see how EM plays it. I know he's good at that :P
-
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#103There will come a time of reaction soon, so hang in there. Meanwhile Proactive EchoMirage can have his fun! ;) -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#104Well, it would be a lot easier if I was playing that "Alien" type alien, and not Curie who's all rainbows and happy puppies. Thus, more thought required, estimated posting time Thursday evening, CET. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#105Roger that, Echo! AG Out -

I remember your reasoning that Curie was innocent in the ways of the world.
She must be getting a number of her ideals crushed from the moment she stepped into Helena's apartment right up until now as she listens in to the plans of this fell carnival.
In my experience, such things change people and if you want it you could make these experiences change Curie as well, based on whatever logic she follows.
Meaning: It is perfectly okay to subtly alter your pcs persona as you go along. -

Methinks that is what roleplay is about, no? -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#108It is. But not everyone gets that. :)
Some systems are like this: "Your character sheet says Chaotic Good, thus you MUST act chaotic good in each and every aspect. If you change your alignment you get half xp, half damage and are tormented by sodomite gremlins at night! -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#109Heh, like Riv has a distinctive alignment :P
-
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#110Hehehe! :D I believe it was called chaotic neutral in D&D :p -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#111Curie needs to make the following dice rolls:
1d100 against 65% (base chance) + 40 (Sachmeth) - 30 (firewall) = 75% chance to connect to a wireless router on the least protected account.
1d100 against 65% chance to hack admin account and gain file access. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#112She can sneak on site with the masses that will be merrily storming there, actually, and eventually access a service crawlspace or something, too. While docked, the ships will also likely have wired data uplinks for monitoring etc, more reliable than wifi.
Also, your rolls:
Rolled 1d100 : 80, total 80
Rolled 1d100 : 57, total 57 -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#113The description of Curies attack on the firewalls of the Truth of Steel will be... ordinary compared to her encounter with the old man. That is because of earth vs. alien technology. Earth tech is more predictable -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#114Moving the game further along soon. Everyone is moving downstairs, towards the dropships. Only the security detail remains... And you, should you opt to do so.
The dropships can be found in a corridor four levels down, circular hatches with valve openers located in the floor at regular intervals. The level below you has crew and passenger quarters, the floor below that houses the engine room, CIC (Combat Information Center), and so on. The lowermost floor is really just a narrow corridor that runs the entire length of the ship. The only thing there are the dropships (12 of them).
Security aboard the ship is tight.
Downstairs you can hear crew members handing out "Atlantean Harvester Rods" to the carnival crowd. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#115Anyone gonna post before I do? I will post tomorrow unless someone says otherwise. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#116Based on current events, Riv is going to need to change plans - with Steel's getup, there is no way in hell DD'd plan is going to work. What does he have that will let him ambush someone in power armor? :)
Film at 11. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#117Echo's sabotage idea would have. He was unable to sabotage the drop ship shuttles wirelessly though (had a fair chance of doing so too).
You could try to reach the schematics computer physically, but security is tight and combat seems likely. Your characters are fairly bright and the odds of surviving a front on assault are slight with your current equipment. Stealth is your best bet there, but then again some of you are not all that stealthy.
An alternative plan seems wise.
Powered armor is difficult, yes. Assassinating him now seems unlikely, yes. Very well deducted.
But, you guys being intelligent and all, know that he probably does not sleep and piss and shit and eat wearing his armor. He IS paranoid though, Wesknife's psyche profiles tell you guys as much.
I never said it was gonna be easy, though had Curie made those checks it actually would have been far easier than anticated.
(Yes, some hidden kudos there). -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#118Calculating, I had a ... 0.75 x 0.6 = 0.45 chance to succeed.
Well then. Plan: sneak in and sabotage the dropship physically. A wrench in the gears, so to speak. Curie is appalled at the misuse of resources and technology, indeed. -
Re: Bleak Wood Episode 3 OOC
#119She should be! ;)
The dropships are docked beneath the Truth of Steel, with only a circular valve opened hatch leading down to them.
Also, everyone are boarding the dropships right now. If she wants to sabotage them, she needs to do it from the ground (after they land).
If you go with them, and stay behind, you can sabotage the dropships while the revelers are butchering the wastelanders. -

#120Hey All, I'm finally back! Let me catch up and post!
