OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice

[Bennosuke]

Good. Working on the IC post now.

[Morovir]

(1d100)[33] TN 29 (Int 49 - 20)

[BananaPhone]

Low Gothic Speak Good: (1d100)[8]



Well, wha'dya know, Marcella understands them. TN was 13 (Int 33 - 20).


oO(Hey, that sounds like our dialect up on Sevastapol! Maybe the languages over-lap due to proximity and manufacturing? Haven't heard that for a long time!)

[BananaPhone]

It appears that Marcella will be the only one "armed" during this meeting.

Once it again, it seems, the lives of the group are entrusted to the capable hands of the Psyker.

Another impressive roll. You're getting lucky (and yes I can see you are actually rolling and not cheating)! So I'm going to rule that for the rest of this scene Marcella will be able to understand the underhive dialect here.

Spoiler: What Marcella hears

Show

Georgy turns to Leetus and in thick Hive-Cant says, "The boss told me he wants to know the name of the Noble whose bank rolling the Sabay. Listen closely to these guilders, maybe they'll mention the name of the house."

[dojango]

Instead of coming up with some precise figures, maybe someone can do an INT test to see if we can come up with some plausible sounding figures, or if we end up sounding like Dr. Evil, rather than getting bogged down with specifics.

[Bennosuke]

I'd argue a deception roll is likely the way to go, since this is really about coming up with a plausible lie that will both seem reasonable, while still bait the Boss. Otherwise, maybe an Evaluate roll.

[BananaPhone]

Posting today. Sorry for being slack!

[Bennosuke]

Sure you don't want to do anything a little more psykery???

[BananaPhone]

*Thinks*

Sense Presence: (1d10+5)[11]

[Bennosuke]

@Banana: See the IC thread.

[Bennosuke]

FYI, Erulasto is MIA at the moment due to family health issues. I will be controlling his character till he is back.

Are people still around and involved? It seems like things are slowing down. Please let me know what I can do to help keep things running.

If people still want to play, and no one has posted by this afternoon, I will use Severine to keep things going, but I want to give the actual players a chance to play the game.

[BananaPhone]

Yeah, still here .

[Bennosuke]

I figured

[Morovir]

Still here - was just waiting on Erulasto to do something beancountery.

[BananaPhone]

I'm genuinely looking forward to getting a higher Psi rating. Telepathy and Telekinesis, with good psi ratings, look boss.

[Bennosuke]

Today is a little bananas of a day. I'm going to give players until tomorrow morning to reply, and otherwise will move things on to when Harl Kandor comes to collect the acolytes UNLESS, players will want to do anything else in this scene, or in the interim before they meet him.

[BananaPhone]

Sense Presence is worth every experience point.

[Bennosuke]

Lol.

Erulasto is still dealing with family issues (and will hopefully come back ), but I'm going to hold off for Morovir till this afternoon before moving things forward.

Just as a heads up for everyone. I am moving from NYC to St. Louis this week. I will be spending pretty much all of Wednesday finishing the packing/deconstruction of my apartment and will be driving Thursday and Friday. I may be able to post these days if I have the time and brainpower, but I also may be MIA for these three days. Just so everyone is aware ahead of time.

[BananaPhone]

No worries Ben. Stay safe and happy moving!

[Morovir]

Writing my post now. Apologies for the delay!

[Bennosuke]

No worries Ben. Stay safe and happy moving!

Thank you very much, it's much appreciated. I'm totally not stressed about the entire thing or anything... no, totally cool

Writing my post now. Apologies for the delay!

Absolutely nothing to apologize for. Just wanted to be clear as to why I had not posted IC yet.

IC post coming now.

[Bennosuke]

Okay, so it's gonna be a busy couple of weeks, but I think I'm ready to get back to posting. I am using my phone as a hot spot atm, because the self-installation kit for our wifi didn't work, but hopefully that will be rectified soon. Thank you everyone for your patience.

[BananaPhone]

Marcella:

Chameleon: (1D10+5)[9], sustained.

Distort Vision: (1D10+5)[7], not sustained, lasts until start of next turn. Damn, first Psyker test she's failed.


Marcella activates Chameleon. She's got +30 to Concealment tests, and enemies are at -20 BS to shoot her.

[BananaPhone]

Marcella:

Concealment: (1d100)[93] vs TN 64


*Sigh*

[Bennosuke]

At least you didn't roll a 9 on one of those activation rolls

EDIT:

Initiative Order
Severine 12
Arl 11
Gangers 10
Xerros 7
Harl Kandor 6


Marcella
Luis

[Bennosuke]

I forgot to add, assume 10M distance.

As Severine has a relatively high initiative, I will roll for her. Takes one extra aim for +20, then adding short range for +10 to her base 35 for target of 65 (1d100)[18](18) damage is (1d10)[5](5) +3, targeting the ganger with the rifle.

[dojango]

Other than the fact that we all suck at social stuff, why wouldn't we try diplomacy? We have an agreement with their boss, so it wouldn't make sense that he would try to have us killed until after he gets the money. I mean, diplomacy might fail for a number of reasons, but we wouldn't assume, in character, that these Tora guys are automatcially hostile.

[Bennosuke]

I think the only concern would be that it might be hard to justify what the credit guilders are doing exploring this wasteland, but as I said, there was no reason you couldn't. It seemed like the party was getting ready for combat, so I made a few rolls to avoid dragging everything down, as combat can slow things down in PBP.

EDIT: I'll hold on resolving anything or rolling for the gangers till Banana and Dojango have replied IC, in case someone wants to try diplomacy before fighting starts, and to see how the initiative order finally shakes up.

@Morovir: Please roll for Righteous Fury for that second attack where you rolled a ten. In case you don't have it memorized, the rules can be found on pg 195.

[Bennosuke]

And of course, I never rolled Initiative for Harl Kandor (1d10)[2](2)
