OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice

[Bennosuke]

Rolling WP against 8 (1d100)[14]
And will roll dodge in case she passes and someone rolls a successful attack (1d100)[33]

EDIT: Wow... I am never this lucky. Jen must have consorted with The Dark Gods!!!

[Bennosuke]

And now I need a ballistics roll... jeez (1d100)[98] and damage (1d10)[1] +3I

[BananaPhone]

We can pass off our flight with Jen as escaping the gun-wielding maniac firing off rounds.

[BananaPhone]

Still on her fanny

Ahhh the differences in American and British English...

[Bennosuke]

Why can't both be right in this situation?

[rax]

Hey all, I'm in the process of shaking off a bout of covid, but Arl seems to have the interrogation in hand, so Hound will be keeping quiet and out of the way for now.

[Bennosuke]

Hope you feel better soon man. I'm sorry to hear that!

[BananaPhone]

Take care rax!

[BananaPhone]

Just 450 exp away from Psy Rating 3 and choosing a Psychic Discipline!

[Bennosuke]

Sorry for the delays. Dojango messaged me yesterday. See my IC post.

[dojango]

Alright I guess on to Sir Drimmle. I say we get rid of her, don't want her telling stories.

[BananaPhone]

Unless we have the means of disposal, a corpse will bring a lot of heat down on us.

She's already involved in a shady, illegal black market smuggling ring, so she doesn't want Arbiter attention either. What's she going to say?

"They broke in and I was so frightened of them that I shot at them, but they didn't take anything, didn't hurt me and they just left. Yup! Totally. Why were they after me specifically? I dunno officer, it has nothing at all with anything that I'm doing that you need to be suspicious about...no siree bob...What's that? Come in to answer a few questions? Oh don't think that'll be necessary, Officer....please?""

[dojango]

I'm not worried about her talking to the arbites, I'm worried about her talking to the Credit Guild, Sir Drimmle, or the nobleman. Two choices: We take her and turn her over to the nearest guard recruitment station and tell them to send her out on the next transport or we shoot her with her own pistol and make it look like a suicide.

[rax]

My thinking is pretty much the same as dojango's. The main risk is that she'll warn her colleagues in the Credit Guild before we can get to them, not that she'll go to proper Imperial authorities and risk exposing her part in an illegal weapons trade.

For our purposes, the most important matter is therefore to keep her from disrupting our investigation. Staging a suicide in her apartment would have been a decent option if we hadn't first had a firefight and Hound hadn't been seen. I think we need to bring her with us and either keep her on ice back at our safe house or kill her once we're clear of her home and dump the body somewhere out of the way.

Since we're only acolytes, I'm not sure we can make the IG take her against her will, and there's no guarantee she'll be shipped out soon anyway. This leads me to the conclusion that she needs to be permanently silenced. Hound has no qualms about doing the dirty work, we just need a good place to do it.

Edit: One thing she could still be useful for is as a source of information on Sir Drimmle and perhaps also a way to gain access to him. It's risky but we could have her try to reach out to him and set up a meeting where we can nab him.

[BananaPhone]

Fine with me.

Marc isn't the cold-hearted type so she wouldn't suggest as such, but she won't resist either.

[dojango]

It's a pity the Magos turned out to be untrustworthy, otherwise we could have her turned into a servitor. I say since she turned out to be unhelpful we just fake a suicide and go deal with Sir Drimmle. By the time anyone gets around to investigating it we'll hopefully have Drimmle in custody. Sounds like he's the one who we need to turn over to the interrogator for enhanced interrogation as they say.

[Bennosuke]

Hey all, a player named Bramblefoot reach out to me asking if he could join the game. I think we are a few player shorter than when we began, but I wanted to get a consensus as to how people felt about bringing in another player. Feel free to PM me if you would prefer to discuss.

[BananaPhone]

I'm fine with it. Tell him we really need a social type.

[dojango]

Yeah that sounds good.

Also sounds like nobody's objecting to silencing the witness. Someone want to write a fake suicide note real quick (we've established my character is illiterate) and then we'll go black-bag Sir Drimmle.

[BananaPhone]

I say we take some valuables. Make it look like a burglary that just went bad. A guilder suddenly committing suicide with a handwritten note that doesn't match her handwriting looks suspicious to those she's in league with.

[Bennosuke]

Thank you all for your patience with me this week; it's been absolutely brutal.

I've invited Bramblefoot to come introduce himself/herself in the OOC thread.

[bramblefoot]

hello all, whatcha need? im perfectly happy to play your social bonhomie

[dojango]

(1d100)[44] v. 32, (1d2)[1]

Honestly I'd argue that insanity points make more sense than corruption; after all this is real "are we the baddies" type of behavior that leads to mental trauma.

[Bennosuke]

[roll0] v. 32, [roll1]

Yeah, I was pretty torn between that and don't care too strongly. If you would prefer an insanity point then I'm fine with that. My reasoning was based on how Fear/insanity rolls are based on witnessing/experiencing something, while corruption points are based on performing evil actions. Again, that was just how I based my decision. Let me know and I'll update your character box.

[bramblefoot]

im feeling noble something something, but before i start, how much xp do i have to tango with?

[rax]

Huh, I must be blind. Just read Hound's character sheet again and he actually does have Search trained, so the ace roll in the IC thread was actually against Per 40.

Seems like he found most of the good stuff, but I thought I'd mention it in case one or two extra DoS makes a difference.

[dojango]

Going with insanity then. Also ready to head on out to find Sir Drimmle. Where's he living these days?

[Bennosuke]

1400xp. I'm assuming we will be looking at your character as a local who ends up getting entangled with the characters if that informs what you choose, though I suppose he/she does not have to be local. However, I'm not sure how to bring in a new Inquisitorial agent at this point, so it will probably have to be someone with no Ordos experience.

Will update your character sheet. From the IC thread:

The headshot attached to this file depicts a severe man who without rejuve treatments was maybe in his late fifties, with a gaunt pale face, cold blue eyes, and a spider web of a mustache.

Sir Pennifry Drimmle is a Super Nova ranked member of the Service branch of the Credit Guild, whose is directly responsible for handling the account of House Durchess. Apparently twice in the past The Credit Guild has run investigations into Drimmle's activities, once when one of his rivals in the Guild mysteriously disappeared (not enough evidence could be gathered to draw a verdict), and once for a "questionable" transfer of funds that Drimmle made on behalf of The Durchesses to an off-world encrypted account of unknown personage. The file includes a quick background on his well-to-do upbringing and schooling. It also provides an address, what appears to be a luxurious two floor apartment attached to the spire where the Durchesses live.

Sir Drimmle's direct superior would be Lord Servicer Gildfrey , who heads the entire Service Branch of the Credit Guild.

[bramblefoot]

so where should i roll my stats in? im feeling scum, unless anyone has other opinions

[Bennosuke]

This thread is fine. Have you seen the old re-recruiting thread for character creation rules
