This is for OOC chatter.

I'm going to speed things up a bit, since this confict isn't the main purpose of the prologue, unless there's something you wish to know. Kay?

I'm good with it. James leaps to the rear and kills them all ?

Um, er.

Interesting... somehow Fox replied without me noticing. It must have scolled down pretty far.

I'm stealthy like that. Almost like a ...fox.

Enjoy my massive time acceleration. Or not. Whichever the case may be.

Note that the presence of the dead military is at least somewhat explainable: The compound is a few miles away from an inwardly-focused military dictatorship.

Are you implying that the military dictatorship got overrun?

I'm just trying to give you a reasonable origin for some of the uniforms you saw that you would come up with.

How large was this group? Did they have/allow novas?

About 200 strong. Fairly sizable given the times.

Drew is supposed to give me your character sheets and stuff, but in the meantime can I get a show of hands of who all is still in.

Also, I need to at least know some things about your characters.

Perception
Tactics
Awareness
Investigation
things like that which would allow you to figure out what happened at the settlement.

PS. If anyone else would like to run the game instead of me please let me know. I just stepped in cause Drew and I were in chat when he announced that he needs to take at least a month off possibly more due to RL complications.

I actually would like to join, if possible

Unless Drew objects, I don't have a problem with that.

Go right ahead.

I'm going to try to stay in, though RL might make it difficult.

Rachel has Perception-4/Mega-1 with hyper-enhanced hearing and Awareness 4. No Investigation or Tactics.

She also has Telepathy and Pretercognition at her disposal.

I'm trying to stay in too but RL is making it hard.

Dan has

Perception 5
Awareness 4
Investigation 4

Got married this weekend. I'll be back to posting normally on Wed for sure.

Did Violet come with us?

Sure, she can be there. It might breath a little life into the game.

oookay, but just for you to know. Violet hasn't got any fighting capabilities and she would've frowned to go with you. She would've asked for something in return if she has to leave the safe base.

If you want some bitching about broken nails and a bad hair day... so be it

Does she have a red shirt?

And at the moment you are pretty useful, if we all left the tower the zoms would follow.

Yeah, but then you couldn't react and play along as we go exploring, and that's no fun. Besides, you might be useful for communication with people and putting them at ease.

Thats a valid point Fox, I can put people at ease or maybe even sedate them. I already posted - its up to you guys now how it goes on.

Fox, does James find evidence of Mega-Strength being used in taking off doors and the like?

And I'm getting the feeling that lots of really good stuff was left behind?

No evidence of mega strength, but there is lots of evidence of explosives and damage from gunfire. It's looking like the compound was taken completly by surprise. Yes, there is lots of good stuff left behind that simple raiders would not have left.

Rachel had been listening for sounds of survivors... did Rachel's player Zack_OOC disappear? She heard sounds, but no one ever responded about it.

Haven't seen Zack for awhile and I thought Rachel would give us more of a clue where we should be searching. I can only recall Rachel hearing sounds but giving no indication from where.

Right. I've been waiting for a response before posting more about that.

So who all is still in the game? I spoke to Drew today, and he should be back running the game after Ch. 1 is finished.

Good to hear that Drew is back. Can you forward my sheet to him or shall I write a PM?

Do you mind writing him a PM? Thanks.

The woman and her daughter are calm now that they don't think you are going to kill them or make them slaves.

Good - if not I would've tried something else.

RE: Our current location
Right now we're in someone's basement, correct?

I was under the same impression...

I thought you were going to take her out of the basement.

I don't want to give her the sight of everyone she knows being dead before talking to her about the why of it. Also there is the implied transaction going on here. In theory (although less so in practice) we don't *have* to save her, we don't *have* to relocate her. That puts us in a strong negotiating position at the moment.

FYI - I can try to sedate her and her daughter. Violet has the Power Poison... :evil:

Ok, I fixed it and added a little.
