[Call of Cthulhu - OOC] Whispers in the Darkness

Peff · May 2012

And I'm back. Post going up shortly...also ewww, dissolved body.

I'm assuming there's a shower rod, I think I'm going to start with that to pull out the body. If not, just let me know.

Also, Know to neutralize sulfuric acid (1d100=53) vs 75 Pass.

Any issues with trying to find a base to neutralize this stuff? Some baking soda in the kitchen?

Captain Marcus · May 2012

Lots of issues! You'd need a ton of baking soda. Like pounds of it. If we could find ammonia on the other hand, that'd work easily.

Peff · May 2012

Well it doesn't need to be baking soda, just something to neutralize it. Chemistry isn't my strong subject.

Captain Marcus · May 2012

It isn't mine either, sadly. Next month is going to be hell. But ammonia if we can find it would definitely work. I'm talking about taking the body or whatever it is out of the goo, putting it on the floor, and pour base over that.

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

Still with us @rucdoc?

rucdoc · June 2012

yeah, think I'm in the den.

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Peff I already rolled for finding stuff in the kitchen but whatever. Feel free to bumble around with the oatmeal while I find goodies/clues : )

Peff · June 2012

Eh, gotta make them rolls when I can, even if I never see anything.

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

Listen checks from Peff, Rucdoc and Captain Marcus, please.

Peff · June 2012

Listen, Appleton's Kitchen (1d100=24) vs 25

Pass, just barely

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

You have a 42 in Listen, I'd say you passed with a fair margin.

Peff · June 2012

For some reason I have that different on my local copy. Hrm.

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Listen-
1d100 vs 80 44 pass

I bet it's the police! Or the oozing abomination in the basement!

rucdoc · June 2012

1d100 → [27] = (27) pass (30)

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Abomination! Hooray!

Finally, killing things. Although since this is Call of Cthulhu, we will probably end up being the killees instead.

Peff · June 2012

It now occurrs to me my rifle is in the car...with Mason. If we survive this I'm buying a damn pistol. Who wants to see me show off my fancy knife work!

rucdoc · June 2012

gonna head down into the basement gun first ready to shoot anything that moves, we can sort it later.

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Not looking around, not listening, not doing anything smart. Throwing a jar full of who-knows-what into a grisly freezer does not count as smart.

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

Look at you getting an Impale against a (probably) inanimate object.

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Really. I was going for the "hit the thing with the jar, piss it off so one of us doesn't have to go get their face eaten off looking inside" effect.

edit- not that I'm complaining!

Peff · June 2012

This is totally not a smart move but let's do this. No one wants to live forever. Also, I'm totally holding the light and knife CQC style like Solid Snake because if I'm going to go out, I might as well look cool doing it.

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

Sanity Check, Mr. Peff

Peff · June 2012

Not sure if I love it or hate it when you say that.

Sanity roll! Appleton basement (1d100=61) vs 24. Uh oh!

I also just noticed I never updated my stat block from the first sanity point I lost (25 initial so 24 before this roll) so whatever I lose here I'll update with the correct value.

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

I hate to leave things hanging right here, but I'm on a trip and don't have my materials with me at the moment. Narration will resume next Wednesday or Thursday.

El Skid · June 2012

Thanks for letting us know, PL- Have a good trip!

rucdoc · June 2012

be safe, no worries

Peff · June 2012

Aww, I have to hang on that for a week

Have a good trip, safe travels.

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Have fun! A slow pace is nice, we've only lost one guy and this is the longest I've played any PBP game.

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

We're back! I'll need luck rolls from the 3 of you in the basement.

Peff · June 2012

Welcome back!

Luck roll, Appleton basement (1d100=65)vs 25. Nada!

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Luck roll, Appleton basement (1d100=88) vs 90.

And Todt looks in at the creepy old man like an idiot. Will he take a sanity check? Find out next episode!

And man, I really wanted to see what failing that luck roll would do. So close!

rucdoc · June 2012

1d100 → [84] = (84)
nope

Captain Marcus · June 2012

It looks like I was the only one that passed it?

Peff · June 2012

So we're piggy backing on your luck I guess...how many more rolls can I derp? Stay tuned!

Captain Marcus · June 2012

Hopefully it is not the roll for "police appear behind gun-toting strangers in front of a corpse in an icebox"

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

Combat time!

1) I will need a sanity roll from all 3 of you as you turn to see what just attacked you.

2) Order of attacks for the first combat round will be (barring any sanity issues): Rucdoc one shot at half skill % from the pain, then Captain Marcus one shot, then the enemy, Rucdoc again this time at normal %, Peff, and Rucdoc once more at double % for point blank fire. Oh the benefits of a gun with 3 attacks per round!.

3) Now would be a good time to ask any questions about how combat works.

Captain Marcus · June 2012

So shooting is basically a skill check?

PsychoLarry1 · June 2012

Yes indeed. There are more variables and such dependent on situation, but it's a skill check based on your rating with the specific weapon.

rucdoc · June 2012

sanity check 1d100 → [36] = (36) pass

pistol 1d100 → [11] = (11) pass

Captain Marcus · June 2012

sanity check vs current sanity points 1d100 vs 90 (2) pass

handgun 1d100 vs 80 (91) miss
