OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice

[dojango]

Well, I don't have stealth, but we could just wait for him to leave the Credit Guild, tail him until we can just drag him into an alley and kidnap him, witnesses be damned.

Sorry for disappearing these last few days, some personal stuff's come up. I'll catch up tomorrow (Thursday) and inject Hound back into the planning/discussions.

[Bennosuke]

No worries, if you all can't tell, my post rate has been less than desirable overall. Posts coming today, and should be able to put in at least a post per day if appropriate over the weekend.

EDIT: Is there any way I can help move things along?

Marcella auto-passing her Psyniscience roll because she's a good boi? :P

[Bennosuke]

Hahaha. SHE's a good BOI???

[BananaPhone]

Darkly humorous jokes aside, it's a figure of speach :p.

A summary of the information Arl and Luis recovered about the Credit Guilders would be useful in the IC thread. Is it only names and adresses or does it include personal information such as appearances, performance evaluations, assignment reports and such? I.e. something that could give us an idea about which one might be a weak link or something about who gave them the assignment to deal with the gangs?

[Bennosuke]

Done, was kinda waiting till someone said they wanted to review the files, but I think you were right to just provide it.

[Bennosuke]

I assume the players still need to discuss their plans, though it sounds like at least a couple of players are coming to a decision. But let me know if you need me to intercede.

[dojango]

I think we're all agreed we want to kidnap Guilder Jen, what we do with her afterwards can be decided later.

[Bennosuke]

Can I have a brief but more detailed summary of the plan? Are you going there at night? Sneaking into her property? Luring her into a van with candy?

Hound was just making a counterpoint to Arl. I'm fine to move on with the planning if Wyndeward doesn't want to reply.

As I see it, the difficulty of nabbing Jen in her apartment is that our group is rather light on the typical B&E skills as well as infiltration skills. I think only one of the party has Stealth trained and only our Tech-Priest (assuming Blindfolded Ape is still in the game) has the Security skill. Without the latter, even if we could enter unobtrusively, we'd need to bash down Jen's door to enter her apartment. If we try to bluff our way in we're still short on interpersonal skills and going for the kidnap in her apartment also increases the chances of witnesses spotting us.

All in all, I would prefer trying to grab her somewhere away from her home, ideally some place we can convince or force her to come alone.

And no matter how we grab her, we need some means of knocking her out and transporting her unseen to our safe house.

[Bennosuke]

Going to let others reply.

[BananaPhone]

Yikes, I thought I posted a heads up yesterday! I said that I was going to post IC today.

[rax]

Going to let others reply.

Yup, I'm also curious as to what everyone else can suggest in the way of plans.

[Bennosuke]

I guess I'll give people another day or two to reply, then Rax's plan will be taken pretty much as "the plan"

[BananaPhone]

Yeah sorry about that, I've been really out of it the past week or so.

[Bennosuke]

Looks like further discussion is now happening in IC thread. Will continue to hold. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help keep things rolling.

[rax]

Sorry to report that things are looking hectic at work at least until the weekend. I don't expect I'll have much energy to post for the next few days.

[Bennosuke]

No worries. Hope things aren't too bad.

And Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate!

[Bennosuke]

Are we all in agreement then?

[rax]

Looks like it.

@dojango and Wyndeward
Hound's personal preference is to try and get hold of Jen without making to much of a scene. Ideally we can bluff her into opening the door and the grap her, rather than bash it down and make lots of noise (in addition to giving her time to react).

If LairdMaon was still with us, we could have had Mort knock on the door and claim he's here on Arbites business. Since he isn't I'm not sure what else would work - building maintenance, perhaps, but it doesn't seem like this place gets much maintenance at all and it's unlikely work gets done at night anyway...

So unless either of your characters have any bright ideas I guess bashing down the door ASAP is the only remaining route.

[Bennosuke]

Waiting on Banana to post, and will let the players choose who makes the first move.

[BananaPhone]

Hey, sorry about not posting recently, a combination of IRL and writing lethargy has slowed me down a lot recently, apologies!

[Bennosuke]

I am under the impression I am waiting for players to reply to Banana IC?

[rax]

Not really, at least not on Hound's part. He's already suggested to our heavies that they either bash the door down or think of a way to bluff Jen into answering the door. Marcella's scan was really only confirmation that there's one person in the apartment.

So OOC, I'm waiting for Arl or Luis to act.

[dojango]

I'll use my axe to break the doorknob off and then kick the door in. Sound like a plan?

[BananaPhone]

Could just...knock on the door? She opens it, we flash the badge, "please come with us ma'am."

Breaking the door down would be noisy and attract attention.

[Bennosuke]

If that's what you decide to do, please post, but there's no need to roll; doors don't fight back.
