Blue Thunder Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Everyone is at the Blackburn now except for Jack, who is handling the Firefly matter in Branch 1. So Branches 2 and 3 have been unpinned.So should I assume that we'd add the "at ease" recovery rate, or can we go ahead and add the "completely relaxed" rate?At ease.

SkyLion Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I do hope I dont have to remind you, Bahamut, that letting Firefly walk away is a very bad idea....we dont want her to know she is in Cuba...at all...,, Its putting us in grave danger...,, You should bring her in, knock her out and warp her somewhere safe and leave her...

Blue Thunder Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Actually, she doesn't know you're based in Cuba. All she knows is that she was in Austin, got knocked out, and woke up in a cave in Cuba. She has no reason to think they're based nearby, she'll probably assume the opposite. She just thinks they dumped her in some random location to talk.Of course, if you want to, you can try warping her away anyway."Who are you? We're having an important meeting right now. I ain't lettin' you in unless they want you in, got it?" He made a strange gurgling noise as he spoke, and an eyeball and testicle noticebly danced inside his skull as his internal fluid shifted around. His overall appearance was hard not to be distracted by, but Bob was more accustomed than other novas to sights like Sloppy Joe's. The smell, on the other hand...I should be writing novels or something, I just evoke the greatest images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Her rippling after-image would easily identify her as a nova, but that wasn't a concern here. I hope you mean this is an effect of the lights and the fog machines? Because Leiko's aberrations are Voice, and an Anima Banner that's only present when her powers are on.

SkyLion Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Heya! Sorry about the lag.,, Envy's checklist for the evening...,, 1.) Put Turncoat in a cell and heavily mox and sedate him.,, 2.) Tell geryon about Turncoat and try and enlist aid against Delormier.,, 3.) Extend an olive Branch to Narcosis, as the head of another faction interested in baseline relations...,, Obviously he will speak with Kyle but doesnt yet know Kyle wants to speak with him, so perhaps Kyle can find him somewhere along his agenda...,, Okay!

Alex Green Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (I'll stop there to let BT roll, just in case I get unlucky enough not to get enough successes to pinpoint Envys location.)”Unlucky” isn’t the word considering Envy just absorbed a strong psi-shield.

Blue Thunder Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Psychic Shield wouldn't apply for telepathic communication, unless Envy chose to resist it. Telepathic communication is "voluntary" so if Envy resists it, then it won't go through, otherwise it'll be fine. PS wouldn't affect telepathic detection rolls either, since PS doesn't guard against detection (the "scanning" part of Telepathy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Thunder Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 In my campaigns? Invisibility. You could have Invisibility: Mental to avoid psychic/mind detection. There's Invisibility: Quantum to avoid Node detection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Thunder Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Or get the extra on Invisibility and hope for a lot of successes?Personally, I would only apply that Extra to "standard" senses like sight, smell, taste, touch, and sound.Touch...that's a strange one. Basically, someone touches you but can't feel it. Add vision invisibility + touch invisibility and someone may not even realize they just bumped into you. They'll think they tripped over their own feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Thunder Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 I don't have the book with me but from what I remember off the top of my head: The thing is that if you do anything to draw attention, like attack someone, it stops.But still, if you're invisible your enemy won't see you charging up for that Crush attack, and they won't know to dodge...

SkyLion Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I would like to propose a bit more organizing of our forum. I suggest A separate folder where all the branches/chapters go to and another separate folder for everyones fictions.,, Lastly, I think we would remember to use the Op-Net board more, if it was also pinned at the top...

Blue Thunder Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Question: Would you guys like to finish Ch1 sooner, or later? I could draw this particular part out more, as there are other things I can have happen, but if you guys want to move to the next Chapter, which looks to be the struggle against the Apostle, I can. I know there hasn't been much combat this Chapter (or any, for most of you), but I had to establish the setting and start the NoLK, so...next Chapter should have ppenty of quantum-spewing opportunities. Hopefully for everyone that wants it, anyway. You know, what with an internal war going on and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I say we draw it out some more. We can consider the next branch to be a reconveneing of the Prometheans all together so we can all discuss everything that has happened. As several PCs are looking for Envy, this is probably the best way to handle it. Um...we need to interrogate Turncoat (IF he is still our captive...all this talk of a mole and such by BT has made me *very* paranoid at this point! And damn him he is doing it OOC so I have to bite my tongue! Damn you BT, you damned talented Storyteller you!). I was going to have Envy talk to Narcosis, but given their relationship, its best that Leiko talked to her...Is the mole a PC? Is it Vi? Who could it be? Im all creeped out now... ::unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Does the mole even know it? Did Envy *really* join the Teragen of his own free will, or was he brainwashed into doing it by the Directive with false memories. Every now and then, Envy's *real* personality surfaces... like when he prevented the death of another Directive agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then, Envy's *real* personality surfaces... like when he prevented the death of another Directive agent. Its not me...The mole is a Proteus mole based on BT's IC flavor-text. And in that IC flavor text they said they didnt know much about Envy....Im go back and read it again...And btw Alex...we all know what they say about people pointing fingers... ::huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 So in the Prologue material, Eyelash gives intelligence on Envy (they dont know anything), Leiko, Roach, and James. So they arent the mole.That leaves among the PCs, Bob, Jack, King Cobra, and Kyle.Of course, there is no reason to not be suspicious of everybody, but perhaps we can make some educated eliminations...Kyle isnt officially a Promethean yet, and its hard to believe he would have gotten so deep into CORE without Pedro having some visions about him.King Cobra seems far to individualistic, but its still a possibility...of course if that was the case, KC would have given them alot more intel on Envy given that the two have been friends now for over a year.That leaves Bob and Jack. Im already tempted to say Bob, given that Alex pointed the finger at me, but check out this little bit:As for Turner, or Jack as our mole says he's being called now, there are several paths we can take. There's no possibility of him ever being recovered as a viable Utopian nova, and his former Team Tomorrow friends are furious over his defection. If we paint him as a victim of Flare's coercion, then we can eliminate him and blame it on the Teragen. We'll discuss various options regarding Turner's apprehension later.That first sentace could be interpreted as being an indicator, depending on how you read the pronouns......of course it might not be a PC at all....where did Vi go off to so suddenly?

phoenix Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Of course, if the group finds out ICly that a mole exists, the consummately secretive and telepathically fortified King Cobra becomes a prime suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need dark secrets as well. Although if I'd thought of it maybe I'd have done it. It's probably a -5 flaw, so that's 2.5 points of willpower. ::happy Motivation becomes a problem though. It's pretty hard for me to play a Terat because OOC I think they are wrong about too many things. However I did come up with a character I felt I could play... of course the flip side of that is it'd be pretty easy for me to play someone from Project Pro. I'm not sure I'm duplicitous enough to play someone who is a hard core Project Pro who is playing a hard core Terat. ::unsure Of course on the other hand, in theory Bob is a multiple creature. Maybe I don't know (if that's the case BT then I want 2.5 points of willpower).If it comes up IC, I think Bob can prove to everyone's satisfaction it isn't him. Not that Envy would be any happier.
