    side question: How much is Norton picking up with his tech and ocular implants?


    Is he like Superman basically? in that department at least?

    X-RAY VISION!?

    I think Sarajevo's the one with XRay vision on her equipment list, so I'd guess Norton's out of luck.

    And now I've gotta know: Does this mission take place before or after Creak blew up the universe?

    Reality is everything. If it vanished every time some bastard screwed around with its fabric, it wouldn't be able to look other metaphysical concepts in the eye during their annual meetings.

    To the universe, a phase generator causing a divergence anomaly is like a speck of grit in its eye. The universe blinks, and then everything's back to normal.

    And this campaign is the most "modern" out of all them chronologically; after Arcadia, even after Enthiliun.

    maybe we should just assume people are ok with it?

    You know, deploy us all in wherever were going and get started

    Well, we are doing a thing

    Team D (Atera, Norton, Ohnein) opted to go in disguise. Any items larger than heavy pistols are stashed in toolboxes in that room (so pistols, SMGs, batons are okay but assault rifles and cannons are not). If you are within 5 hexes of the map edge nearest to your original deployment area, then we'll say that the player is close enough to their stashed gear to re-equip it.

    Team C (that's the rest of you) are... undecided. So let me know! Hell, if you really really want to, I'd even let you deploy somewhere other than C.

    Currently, all of you are occupying hexes where you're out of sight.

    No rolls are necessary at this stage. Your movement distance per turn is 8 hexes, or 10 + AGI if you opt to sprint (which is thoroughly unstealthy and not recommended).

    hell yeah!

    alright assuming we can see the turqiose blips, Atera is going to leave the room and stand in the doorway and make the civ SW of her turn around and go towards the other civ for a nice chat. Can she do that?

    That'd be fine. Knock yourself out! Incidentally turn order is irrelevant outside of combat. First come first served, round-robin approach.

    Hmm.. we have encrypted comms thanks to Norton, so we can all talk to each other.

    Ed, can that civvie to the west potentially see Damon and Sarajevo through those two windows?

    Huh, rules wise no because there's obstacles in the way, but since that was the only place I could make him fit that's just where he happens to be standing. Realistically he knows exactly where they are and he's no doubt had time to talk to them during the time in the armoury and the journey to the embassy itself.

    Oh, and Atera's power worked, let me post IC...

    The white boxes with lines through them are supposed to be boxes or similar obstacles! They block LoS, but unlike solid white lines (partition walls etc.) they don't impede movement in any significant fashion. If there was a broad four-foot tall filing cabinet, for example, it wouldn't be hard to crouch behind it but conversely you could clamber over it without much issue.

    Oh, and because I'm an idiot and I don't mention these things, Norton doesn't need to be directly adjacent to the door in order to hack it, only within four hexes of it. I don't think it'd be possible for him to move all the way there with one turn either way...

    Possibly I've screwed up your instructions, but Team D is sitting tight in the aforementioned office (within hacking range of the door) and Nathan is peering around cover.

    I'm leaving rolls for Ohnein up to you Ed. But if you do make a roll, could you add in a spoiler what you rolled and the result? It's my version of exposure therapy :P

    There we go. Two innocent civilians lying comatose on the uncaring carpet.

    P.S., Tommy, I don't think they'd call it a taser.

    They wouldn't call it a taser (or taser-like) for the same reason they wouldn't call a dictator Hitler-like. Taser is a real-world brand!

    Norton's tech roll was [URL="[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2844924/]1d100+60=150[/url]"]pretty damn impressive.[/URL] As an unintended side effect he located Stion.

    ...and realised that the bad guys are en route. You have five turns before they arrive!

    Seems to be a fair bit of hesitation on what approach to take, if my PMs are anything to go by.

    Taking a leaf out of the v2 approach, I suggest everyone just outlines what they want to do and I fast-forward us to the terrorists' arrival.

    I.e., where you want to be positioned (and what powers/equipment you have prepped/deployed) in time for their arrival.

    But first, should I just have everyone converge at the corner office in order to talk to Stion about the situation? You'd have time to do so.

    more importantly, woud I have recovered that mp by the time the baddies come?

    if we could use the watch sized communicator to corral the civvies to a certain spot...would have to think that out.
    Are they expecting a certain voice to come out on that end?
