    Sorry!

    Incidentally, there is a complimentary breakfast offered by the hotel, and a copy of the Albuquerque Journal place outside each room.

    You're calling the hotel room right? Not the hospital?

    Right. Guy would prefer to keep this within within the group, in case she dies or something.

    Putting my roll here so I can respond appropriately IC, I'm assuming medicine and pharmacy, let me know if you want anything else rolled.

    Medicine to help out OD'd Amanda (1d100=57) Pass (80)

    Pharmacy for anything required to help with the OD/knowledge of blue substances (1d100=85) Fail (60)

    You have no idea what is causing the blue tint, but she is giving clear signs of some sort of overdose, likely at least partially from opiates, though it may have been a combination of drugs. I'm not a doctor, so I'll leave it up to you to give the plausible basic treatment. It looks like though, from a quick check on wikipedia, that the main treatment involves fairly specialized drugs and supervised detox.

    Sweet, let me do some research on what's required and I'll get a post up later today.

    Given the time difference, Skid has a chance to take some minor treatment actions on the victim before you guys arrive, if he'd like.

    I'm sure it's fine if you want to catch the doctors on the way over, if that's what you want. Just write something in about catching them on the way out, and I'm sure it's good.

    Yup. You were downstairs eating breakfast, so if you'd like to happen upon the doctors leaving, I'll allow it. Or you can return to cyberspace. Either way, you get to be the only one with a full stomach!

    Yeah Guy, you totally owe us an egg mcmuffin for rushing out to save your OD'd girlfriend.

    Guy will agree to this proposal on the provisio that you actually manage to cure her*

    *If she sprouts tentacles out of her mouth or anything vaguely similar this counts as you not saving her

  • Options
    PeffPeff Registered User regular
    I think we need a ruling on the field about if tentacles count as something I can heal with modern medicine.

    Removal of malignant growths would definitely fall under your purvue, yes.

    And really, you can't get much more malignant then that :P

    Computer Use to re-engage everything and get back into their database. Say half an hour to get the signal bounced around if you pass (and let's be honest, you'll probably pass). Anything particular you're going to do?

    Backup their database to the servers at the main office then drop the local office out of the loop and read from the backup.

    I think I posted this in the IC, but here's a Biology check for determining what's wrong with the cocaine and a Medicine check for treating her poisoning.

    Biology vs 81
    46 pass

    Medicine vs 80
    47 pass

    Peff-
    First Aid is for treating broken bones, gunshots, etc. Its healing rate stacks with Medicine.

    Medicine is for treating poisonings, diseases, injuries, and accidents, and "making public health recommendations". Its healing rate stacks with First Aid.

    Biology is botany, cryptozoology, regular zoology, etc. The biological sciences.

    Pharmacy is the skill a pharmacist uses. You know about poisons and antidotes and can make your own, but you can't prescribe them or diagnose diseases.

    Sorry I haven't been too attentive over the last few weeks. My schedule has settled down a bit, so the game should go a bit more smoothly going forward.

    Rucdoc - You'll be able to check on portions of the data as you pull them, but you have a few hours free before anything substantial is transferred.

    Perhaps you'll be the one to make death die.

    Incidentally, since there seems to be some trouble with notifications, would it be helpful if I mentioned updates to the IC thread here?

    Are you guys all set for the "dump her on the street and call from a discreet distance" plan to go forward, or is more debate in order?

    Yeah, that's fine. We can dump her right by the hospital and call it in to make sure they find her.
