So I've been informed! So if we have to fight a big stompy robot I think it'll be handy to have.

Penny Wise

Penny shook her head gently at Heracles. "Fighting is valiant, but fighting when there's this much risk is dangerous. We'll get them another day - or, if things go wrong, this one." She turned to Mica, smiling. "Thanks, that'll be a big help in the event that we're spotted and have to...

As fate would have it, I drew a card that causes a major malfunction. Could I use it to shut the UAR-1 down? With it out of commission this is a much easier fight.

Penny Wise

Proposed advancements are:

Raise Agility by 1 to d8.
Raise Persuasion and Drive by one die each to d8.
Common Bond Edge: Share bennies with others.
Upgrade: Optics Package (she's a reporter so an eye that records video will come in handy.)

All good?

"That's not good. As allergic as the CS are to magic, I don't want them to pick today to decide to start studying. And a book like that shouldn't be burnt on general principle - or worse, traded on the black market in exchange for God knows what." She turned to Mica and Freya. "Okay,...

I guess, since I'm the one keenest on the mystery, I'll do so. What do we know thus far?

Penny Wise

"Eating them sounds like the simplest solution, obviously. Good safety tips, all." Penny couldn't help but grin a little. "Okay, we'll keep an eye out for signs and we'll make sure we're stocked up on silver and wooden stakes, just in case we run into trouble." Notice: [dice]0[/...

"A vampire would be trouble, but it's possible they were minor mystical sacrifices. Thanks, you've been a big help, and we'll see about expanding your facilities." Penny turned to the others. "Vampires are bad news. What are their weaknesses and what would they leave behind that woul...

"Permission granted to scout ahead. Good hunting and stay low." Penny turned to Mica, nodding. "Exactly my thoughts. A dozen can turn into another two dozen with them. Do you have any way of jamming their transmissions? Or making sure that we can take them out faster than they can ge...

I voted!

Penny Wise

Penny frowned, as she looked through the binoculars. "I don't think the Coalition military is going to want to talk to us, Kide. They're bad news. And I think we're outnumbered, so we might want to wait and see what they're up to before we go charging in." She narrowed her eyes at the dead...

Penny Wise

"Yeah, nothing urgent - at least, nothing that feels urgent. Just a mystery that's tickling the back of my mind."

Penny Wise

Penny has filled up a notepad with notes and has assembled a tiny little web of theories and possibilities on her portable computer. Top of the list was Duncan, and she nodded in agreement. "Yeah. He's the obvious lead. Something happened there and nothing about it looks good. I don't know a lo...

Penny Wise

Penny weighs the possibilities of a magical tattoo, but decides that since they'll make her easier to track via psi-stalkers and other beings that can sense magic, she politely declines. Her wits, after all, have gotten her this far. In between administrative and political duties in the town, Penny ...

Penny Wise

I'm sorry for your loss. Hang in there.

Penny Wise

Penny mentally files away everything she hears from them about where they've come from and what they've been through, and decides to go over it and make the pieces fit at a later date. Right now, there were a small army of hungry kids who needed some rest, so she played mother hen and got them squar...

"All right, I don't know much about Naruni and I have thankfully never been to Atlantis, so let's look into that. Now, this Black Company..." She knelt, to be eye to eye with them. "We've been told one thing, but if you tell us another, we'll believe you. What do you know about this ...

"No disrespect to Kide, but I wouldn't trust anyone with a potential Spell of Legend, a few hours old or a few hundred years. What do you think, then, should we set out to find them, or pass that up the chain of command?" Penny addressed this to the others as much as herself. Notice: [dic...

Penny's not adverse to magic, though she's not that familiar with it. If the bracers are safe, she wouldn't mind those.

Penny Wise

A hand emerges from the skidded-out rover, followed soon by the rest of Penny as she climbed out to get a look at the situation. She smiled at Savant. "Well, they're gone, and we lived. I think this one goes in the 'win' column." As she struggled to get the ATV upright, she added, "Al...

Penny Wise

"Woah." Penny had seen a lot of combat, but street level fighting was a whole level down from the current fracas - robots and dragons versus demons and warlocks. Then she noticed that she was about to drive straight into a ley line, uttered a word no one would care to repeat, and jerked th...

Penny Wise

"Uh - " Penny hesitates upon seeing the demo, and seeing Heracles take the hit. But she steels herself, concentrating on getting Savant into the fight. She taps her radio, getting Heracles on wireless. "You going to let a demon that small knock down a legendary hero like yourself? Yo...

Penny Wise

Penny revved up the rover, waving people towards it. She conferred strategy briefly with Jasper and White Hoof to make sure they were staying behind. "Demons. Rifts. Sheesh. Well, if we're driving towards it and not away..." She called up the nav system. "I'm glad I have such good peo...

"Maybe it's some kind of fadetown?" Upon a few askance glances, she clarified. "A fadetown is where longtime residents fade in and out of sync with reality as we know it, due to fluctuations in the ley lines. But I've never heard of it working like this." She hopped into her ATV...

Penny Wise

After a long moment, Penny considers her words carefully, then she speaks. "We can talk about technology, about magic, about the infrastructure either or both can bring. Those things, the Tomorrow Legion can bring to the table. Not as good, technologically, as the Coalition; not as mighty, magi...

"Oh yeah." Penny took a few steps from the group, secluding herself, then she got on the radio, and contacted the mercenary who she'd run into. "Hey - shooting's all over. Now, a deal's a deal - I'll make sure you get help from me finding work. The hostages are still here - think the...

Penny ensures that everyone gets bottled water, medical care, rations, or whatever else they need, as the combat dies down and clean-up begins. She is also collecting everyone's quotes, statements and points of view, incorporating them into the story she's writing in her head. "The guy in the l...

Woah! I guess he is! thought Penny as Heracles let everyone know he was Heracles.

Penny Wise

"Strickland! Small world." Penny leaned closer to the radio, thinking for a moment. "Well, I'd hate to have to take a missile to the face, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to deal with the resultant fight from the friends I've brought along. So how about we make a deal: if you suddenly...

"If none of us are especially stealthy, a stealthy approach isn't a good idea." Penny stroked her chin. "Okay, here's an alternative - loudness as its own special kind of quiet. Like Kide said, a dragon is always a threat - and a credible distraction. We can try to use Kide to lure s...

Penny shook the hands of the new comers in turn, flexing her fingers slightly to return feeling to them after encountering the minotaur's grip. "Yes, he's CS, but even if he's as bad as CS are supposed to be, I'd rather he was bad right in front of us than behind us. Right?" Penny then tur...

Penny hesitated for a minute, since Heracles could be hearing voices for that reason, but she pushed the thought away. Heracles was an ally and deserved some measure of trust. "I think we should check it out. That no one else can hear it doesn't matter; dog soldiers can hear things outside the ...

Penny appeared next to the ATV, smiling at the kids as one by one, they realized she was watching them. "Hi there. Pardon the mess, I kind of live out of my car." She approached the others after double-checking to make sure nothing had been nicked off the ATV or that it hadn't been tagged....

Penny sees the dragon hatchling walk past as she waits on Mica, and frowns. "Something happen in there while I wasn't looking?" she asks of Kidemonas.

"Thanks, Savant, I appreciate it." Penny flipped over to the call fro Mica. "Yo?"

Savant's radio crackles to life as Penny calls in. Assuming that Savant picks up, she hears Penny's voice.

"Hi Savant, I'm over by the Mill now. I saw some boxes in the trader's tent, covered up in the back. Is that what I should be on the lookout for?"

Penny Wise

Penny lets the young dragon and the shopkeeper haggle a bit, and if they can't come to a deal Penny will fork over the money for the radio. Then she takes Kidemonas outside to test it out. Upon going outside, Penny contacts Savant (crossposting in the Wall thread.) "Hi Savant, I'm over by the M...

Penny Wise

"Yeah, what'll you trade for a decent radio? Maybe one with a stretchy cord to hang onto it? We, ah, might need it."

"Yes!" says Penny, putting on her most polite smile. "I'm curious how the mill and the trade works here in town. What do you usually eat around here?" As they chatted, Penny surreptitiously looks around, trying to find what was supposed to be important. Notice: [dice]0[/dice] Wi...

Penny stiffened slightly at the dragon's flared temper. "That sounds pretty bad, Kide. Maybe Heracles can help you keep an eye out for them. Speaking of - Heracles, I'm going to check out the mill on Savant's recommendation and could use a little backup as I don't want to check it out alone. Bu...

Sorry, Kide, I thought I'd posted on Tuesday but I guess it didn't go through. "Mica, the mill? I'll be right over." As she walked, she switched over to Kide. "Kide, it depends. Brands - or tattoos, in my case - are something I have from my less glory-filled days, but she tried to br...

"We might, Heracles. We can offer the Tomorrow Legion's support - they'd then have no need, or a far reduced need, for the Federation of Magic, the Coalition, or the Black Market." Penny tried to recall the logistical situation of the Tomorrow Legion - if support could be extended this fa...

Penny had started out scribbling notes about Heracles, paused when he started talking about Hades running the Coalition States, and then had put her notebook away once she saw the implants. At Von's urging, she replied to him. "They're called Mind Over Matter implants - M.O.M. for short," ...
