BlueNinja Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Using a geiger counter, you can get a time range to +/- one year. Searching the ruins might give you the clues to figure out a more accurate date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonStarfire Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'll go ahead and use 2 points of Mega Int to lower the difficulty a bit, and the rest for my dice pool to analyze the readings as accurately as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Different question, and one I should have asked sooner.Did Paul have the chance to rest up before we went through the gate? If he's only down 7 juice, then he is probably willing to look around.But if he's down 17 juice (with the strong possibility of another link in the near future), then resting has a much higher priority.

That means you regained a whole 2qp, putting him down 15. Resting isn't a bad idea. Even napping, Paul only regains 6qp/hour. As long as he's not using up quantum though, he can do anything not-hugely-physically-strenuous and regain that quantum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Brandt rises to his feet smoothly and suddenly. *Paul...if you can hear me, listen. You know, of course, he's only on the other side of the chapel from you. All you need to do is raise your voice. Ash and Jonathan are the ones who went outside.

BlueNinja Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Maybe fifty feet? The chapel isn't designed to seat that many people, TBH. At worst, you'd have to shout for them to hear you behind a door - sort of waiting on Paul and Eli to see where they are when you shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 "If you want you can go ahead and look. I want to know what is behind the only locked door we have found in this vandalised place. And keep an eye out for a broom."There's actually two locked doors. Both on the 'right' wall from where you entered the lobby, mirrors of the two bathroom doors on the 'left' wall. They both open towards you, so short of a mega-strength kick, you'll have to find some other way to get them open, and a mega-strength kick risks damaging whatever is on the other side.

Alex Green Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I think I need a perception roll to do that; But since there's no q-cost, no rush, and nothing bad really happens if it doesn't work, even if I fail I could just try again (although that won't help if someone's just not answering).

Alex Green Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Jonathan ... links back to Paul:OK, you just put your finger on a weakness of Psi-Link. In previous posts Paul was linked to Ash, thus your link was inactive (and not activateable from your end). We'll assume you beeped (see below) Paul and got him to change the link that way.Other methods of communication:1) All Novas have those radio/telephones. It's signal encrypted (meaning the signal is sent on several frequences at once and then merged back). This is more limited than the link for obvious reasons, but it's still an option and under the current conditions a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 To give you an idea of what's on the map ... You're in the chapel. To the west of the chapel is a large grassy area, several dead trees, and some stands that contained old planes that had been decommissioned, sort of outdoor museum pieces. To the east of the chapel is a small building that would probably hold three classrooms; beyond that is a large parking lot, and then the officer barracks; beyond that is more parking, the officer's club, and then military housing. North of the chapel is a street (actually, a circle that encloses most of what I'm about to describe) and the base theater. The theater is part of a complex that forms a square, the middle section is open. The theater takes up most of the south side, with the barber shop behind it. The west side of the square is the appliance and furniture store, the uniform and tailer shop, the post office, a Subway sandwich shop, and a credit union at the NW corner. The north side is taken up by the NEX (think department store), with the bowling alley and bar/grill at the NE corner. The east side is a parking lot, with the commissary (grocery store) bordering the south of the parking lot, and the gas station taking up the furthest NE corner of the circle.NE of the circle street is the enlisted club, and east of that is the hospital. The fallout shelter is somewhere in there. South of the enlisted club (on a straight line between the theater and the hospital) is the poll and start of the golf course. The mice that Paul first detected are in the galley, on the other side of the circle street to the north. The enlisted barracks are north and west of the galley; that's where most of the other mice are as well. The cockroaches have taken over every building inside the circle, and the bottom floors of some of the barracks and the enlisted club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 http://www.geocities.com/the_blue_ninja/ep1map.htm - that should help give you an idea. The galley is just off the top left corner of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Sorry Ash, you said "as much as you need", so I'm going to leech you 3 times (18 juice). ::devil With the resting I did, maybe that's enough to bring me up to full power, which seems a bit unfair on the face of it, but I'll maintain the weather manip for this scene and the next (call it 4 hours?) so I won't be getting any juice back for that interval.

Alex Green Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 You manage to get it down to partly cloudy ... but if you let up anytime before daybreak, it's going to start again. Just FYI.

BlueNinja Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 How many scenes (i.e. maintenance costs) is that? If you do nothing but sit there and focus on the weather, you'll be paying 3 and gaining 2 every scene. Technically, it only counts as one, since no one is going anywhere or doing anything other than sleeping and playing with the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
