I apologize for falling behind. This COVID-19 stuff is really throwing my workplace for a loop.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Just FYI, I am being deployed to the icu to help with the covid crisis. I don’t know my schedule yet but it will likely affect my post rate. Will do my best to stay consistent.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
I've been ill these past couple of days (it's not corona, it's just a flu) so posting will be slow from me.

Hey all, my apologies but today was my long call in the ICU, and I am simply blown out of the water. I will endeavor to post tomorrow and apologies for the delay!

Okay, so Giantitp forum doesn't like Previewing a post when rolling.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
That reminds me, Mr GM. I couldn't find any description of such, but what are the physical manifestations of psyker powers? I'm picturing nothing, other than what's written in the description.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Mr. Banana both powers are successfully manifested without any negative outcomes, but I have a few questions before describing what happens.
But first, please finish updating your character sheet. You added the minor powers, but never removed the Perception bonus. Please fix
Second, what are you hoping to accomplish with these two powers, just so I get it right. My understanding with Distort Vision is that it basically makes you invisible for a turn, allowing you to do something stealthy:
... you disappear and your image reappears another space no more than 10 meters away. Till the start of your next turn, you are effectively invisible... All attacks against you , should your position be discovered by means of a psyniscience test are at a negative 30.
And with the Sense Presence, there is a lot of life around Marcella, but is there something she is looking for?
Lastly, the way I see it is that unless you roll a 9 and get a psychic phenomenon or perils of the warp, it's no more than a slight visible effort, such as the wrinkling of the brow, or a slight grimace, which can be hidden under scrutiny in the same way you can hide how much you are straining when lifting a heavy object when a pretty girl walks by.Spoiler: Games I am Currently RunningSan Francisco by Night (Vampire the Requiem 2E)

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Ah yes, sorry about that! Honest mistake. Scouts honour .
Second, what are you hoping to accomplish with these two powers, just so I get it right. My understanding with Distort Vision is that it basically makes you invisible for a turn, allowing you to do something stealthy:
But you describe this as Marcella shifting to the side just a little, so what is Marcella doing?
With her use of Distort Vision, the way that I'm interpreting it: "With this power, you disappear and your image reappears in another space no more than 10 metres away." you're effectively making a mirror image of yourself somewhere nearby that people think is you, with a Psyniscience roll needed to discover the truth; after 1 turn, the illusion is over and you're revealed where you really are. I take this interpretation from the wording and the name ("Distort Vision" rather than straight "Invisibility").
Thus, she's "appearing" to be next to the spot that she actually is, as to gain the benefit of the power (misdirecting incoming attacks) but not raising suspicion (suddenly disappearing from the group).
Your interpretation, however, over-rules mine if mine is not apt.
What are your thoughts?

Groovy, that's how I've been imagining it too. Unless there is a physical manifestation (like they shoot lightning from their eyes or something), then it looks like they're not doing anything out of the ordinary. That helps a lot. If using a psyker power caused their eyes to glow for example, the gig would be up right away. But if their manifestation is more surreptitious, then they can be used in more discrete ways.

Who was going to be the talky talker? My thought was that we could claim that we are going to offer his bosses a line of credit or something.

Won't be Marc. Psykers really suck at everything except using their psyker powers. It really is a harsh system .

The party really lacks a social character, so it will be interesting whomever decides to step up.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Just as a quick update for those of you who weren't aware: My weekend was expanded to go from today through Sunday, because I've done more ICU shifts than most. So my post rate should be much improved over the next few days.

No worries. Honestly, I'm impressed with your posting rate. I'm used to games moving at a much slower pace.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Thank you. As I mentioned when I started the recruitment, I know I may not be the best ST/GM/DM out there, but I will always try to be consistent, and try to communicate if/when there are snags that will keep me from posting. I know there haven't been any big dramatic scenes yet, but I hope I can keep your guys' interest for just a little longer for when the hammers start dropping

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Thank you everyone for the patience. I know my post rate has been even lower this rate than last. For what it's worth, because things have been improving at my hospital I have been released from ICU duty two weeks early. I don't know what I will be doing starting Monday, or if I even go back to work Monday, but I hope that along with getting to rest up a lot, I will be able to post more starting now.
So lets get this fight rolling finally! And I apologize if I have to double post a little here.

I apologize for not clarifying this earlier, but Luis, Arl, Xerros and Severine are now in melee combat, with both Arl and Luis facing two Ryers, and Xerros and Severine facing one.
