    Well I updated my character sheet post with the slightly altered history details. Should all work now.

    Also, maybe we should consider using an outside roller or something? Geth has given us double 1s on 3/5 rolls so far, which is ridiculous.

    TRIPLE ,now :biggrin: well almost disc got a 7

    Alright it's 2AM here, so I am going to bed. You can go ahead and react to the last set of narrative, but if you roll any moves they will have to wait till I get into work in the morning to resolve.

    Hope everyone is having fun so far.

    Bastian, he's the one that missed the investigation roll. Max is currently dealing with the wad of diner tickets that nearly matches the girth of his cash bundle.

    Of note Reynolds. My wife and I watch a lot of The Blacklist, so my perception of even young photos of james spader are thrown waaaay off.

    @jdarksun - Mr Franklin Night
    During one of your, I'm sure, grainy and distorted adventures, you managed to interrupt another hunter during which I, vacated the scene.
    How did you manage to frustrate my death?
    A special episode of Night Moves! We venture deep into the woods and an abandoned bunker IN SEARCH OF bigfoot and ghosts and certainly not a disturbingly thin well-dressed individual in the woods! We team up with a suspiciously well-armed "local" who claims he is a "deer hunter" and "totally not here to kill monsters, I promise!" Amature hunters, especially heavily armed ones, can put civilians in danger - and sometimes they need to be checked up on! Or evaluated! And if they fail, told they pose a danger to themselves and others, then humiliated on national TV - no one will take them seriously afterwards!

    Not Felated either? Noticed I edited that in when you were posting


    “Felatted entered the bathroom when he spotted Sam and the balding man.

    “Hope I’m not interrupting” Fellated said with a smile.”

    I'd take Josh, but then I'd have to roll, and we know how that works. I'll just meet him there.

    I figure that Abe and Michael probably have a standing agreement that they take turns going with Josh to places. :D

    MrT, you can choose who's turn it is, and then that person gets to go to the museum.

    So wait. Abe has a car, does Josh have one as well?

    Michael will go with Josh, but want to know which he's getting into.

    Josh has the Nightvan. Painted on one side is a stern-looking Josh, while the other has Nightblade in an action pose. See, it's symbolic, representing his dual personas.

    How many cops are currently in the restaurant and is the alley still clear? In terms of us making our “escape “

  • Options
    MagicPrimeMagicPrime FiresideWizard Registered User regular
    No police have actually made it INTO the diner yet. They are dealing with the big angry crowd out in the parking lot. The alley is clear, its on the backside of the diner leading to the next street over.

    I'm guessing I need a sharp roll there, but want to see it called out in action a few times before assuming.

  • Options
    MagicPrimeMagicPrime FiresideWizard Registered User regular
    If you're going to be investigating the crime scene, you need to describe 'how' you're doing it and then roll the Investigate a Mystery move. Depending on how you roll you'll get some form questions you can ask about what you find.

    Whoops, sorry. Had copied whole list to delete ones i didn’t want and missed that first one.

    Edited out the one I didn’t want.

    Surprisingly a good roll, so if I wanted to find the bird and be nonchalant about doing it & or/not have a spas attack - would that be doing it to perfection?

    (i don't know the exact nature of the bird, but was also unsure what "something extra" would be in this context --- get out of the restaurant before the cops enter? )

    @Egos

    You have to describe how you're looking for the bird first, then roll, then I interpret what happens from the result. So if you're going to try to be nonchalant, or quick, or just chuck the chairs out the way, that's all stuff you describe before you roll.

    Nah, we're good. I just must have missed the context somehow. Proceed.

    Is it assumed we have living arrangements (presumably modest) or are we all squatters/hobos & or Sam and Dean going from hotel to hotel : ) ?

    That's honestly up to you. Any living arrangements you have are of the mundane variety, unless you advance into an expert for a Haven, or invest going forward into setting up a safe house.

    So I presume I have two choices here, but correct me if I'm wrong:

    - Investigate a Mystery, using the hold to ask questions Austin didn't.
    - Use Magic, specifically "observe another place or time," and invoke Angel Vision to see the attacks as they happened?
