And quite helpless, you say...

 

Hmm.

 

Soylens Veridian's

[Trokair]

Bardas is pretty chewy, not good eating there.

[Mazer Rackham]

Soylens Verdias is  Bardas,  er, I mean people!

 

Wiry folk are healthy for you, anyway. High in iron, low in saturated fats.

[Lysimachus]

I'm picturing Tom and Jerry, scene where someone eats a sandwich with a big metal plate in the middle...

And all the teeth fall out.

 

*scribbles notes*

 

Don't mind me, plotting your demise.  Please continue talking...

[A.T.]

Are we carrying anything in terms of dataslates or similar that would make it advisable for Falk to hang back with the goods rather than handing them off?

[Trokair]

The data from the lab, assuming we took a copy before sending a copy back to HQ. 

[Trokair]

I am beginning to think that Garrad Locke is not as dead as thought, some one is certianly very instnant in finding him.

No sir, nothing to see here. Garr-dad Block? Never heard of him.

@GM: Sorry boss if I've misread, you said 'picter footage from the Sanctum'?

 

...but then you talk about the fight, which there wasn't much of one at the Sanctum, did you mean at the market?

 

So if that makes a difference as to how long she has been aware of us and If I've misunderstood, I'll change my post so that I'm not revealing too much so quickly?

 

Edit: never mind, seen your reply, if she's happy, I'm happy!

 No you're bob on, it's picter footage from the sanctum, it's on a replay loop.

 

Perhaps I should change it to 'siege' since that's a bit more accurate.

Hmm. Might have leaned a little heavy there, but at least we got the information. Maybe I'll just let Reynard do the talking from now on. Though it does makes sense for someone like Nicios with an Intelligence of 43 but a Fellowship of 24 to not really get social cues or niceties.

[Mazer Rackham]

I thought you'd played to character well. A good foil to Reynard, hence I thought the information would be a reward for that directness instead of punishing by sending you away with nothing.

 

Besides, conflict drives narrative, and nobody died :)

 

EDIT: As an addendum, I was umm'ing and ahh'ing about how to play the character, so your RP actually crystalised who she was.

I'm going to Off Grid from Tuesday afternoon until Sunday evening as I'm off Larping.

[Mazer Rackham]

Enjoy!

[Lysimachus]

Am I right in thinking that we have already eaten during Day 2, but possibly not rested yet? (We paid for our rooms, but I think the thugs turned up before anyone could actually sleep?)

 

If we have 2 hours (ish), Reynard will use 1 and a bit to take a shower and get his sleep session for the Day. The remainder... undecided. Everything has been burnt or shot to bits, so there presumably isn't a lot of shopping to be done? I was considering replacing the bottle of rotgut with another, or just buying two Fire bombs (smaller bottles of booze?) for the same price... either way, maybe they'd sell them at the Grox?

Edited October 25, 2022 by Lysimachus

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, that's right. Your post takes care of it nicely. :)

[Lysimachus]

 

 

Actually,  I was thinking... Reynard's Willpower is a pretty abysmal 25 (which is fitting enough, as he's kinda self-centred and might have a tendency to run rather than fight anything nasty!) but if the Magisters are scary psykers as we suspect, he's not in the best position to take them on?

 

Would it be worth him going to see the gunsmith and/or datacrypter, while Nicios (presumably, as it's exactly his thing!) deals with the 'sages'?

Completely up to you.

Sorry GM, I should have clarified I was asking the other players what they thought. I know you won't give anything away, canny devil that you are! 

[Trokair]

Sounds like a plan to me.

 

That said I am with A.T. that Bardas should help see to Rivit city once he is awake and mobile again. Also at that point he will become aware of the little night time encounter and could then inform the others. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Just to answer AT's query in the IC, there are beds available in the boarding house (still) that will provide decent rest, and you've already paid for these IIRC. Provisions can be obtained from the market (sealed supplies to go) or from the Grox, or Dug's Skullery in different qualities (Common in the Grox, Good at Dug's).

 

Intermix sleeping with IC chat as you will, this is a small decompression period for the players to catch their breath and plan. Bardas can awake at any point and count as having sufficient rest, as we are in Narrative Time.

 

As per my IC post about Rivet City, you may of course investigate this at your discretion, but only the Magos Krupp lives, and he is in significant disrepair. The lift controls for the platform used by Scourge and Stitches to travel uphive is a shower of sparks and broken metal.

Yep, 100% agree on checking that out again before we go anywhere else, crazy not to. Perhaps Bardas can even assist Krupp in some way?

 

And very interesting about the visitor... must be connected with the one we met before reaching the Sanctum, and with the message we can now say both were definitely working for the bad guys (rather than any other interested party!)

Rest for Day 2

Cannot perform Healing on Bardas yet, unless it has been six hours since the firefight. If it has, will try Healing (rolls 6, 8- heals 4 health, no phenomena). 

 

 

 

think it has been a total of three hours (give or take), but I will gladly take the heal if it has been longer.  

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, it has been about three hours it total.
