Sounds like a plan, then, if Penny approves.

And I just realized--since you're already much closer to the troops than we are, you don't even have to move forward--hell, you could probably fall back a bit and still be able to place the force-field between us and the Robot.

Got it!

waiting on Penny and Mica to post as they will have something to say on this plan (especially as Penny has the mechanical malfunction card)

Also, one extra benny for Mica for sorting out the adventure deck

Penny is also a pacifist, but it's Minor level, so she'll accept that there's no choice. She'll have the ATV act as Melee Attacker Delivery System for anyone who needs it. And she'll play the malfunction card.

I think I'll have Lang fire a shot or 2 then move in close and try to confuse them with his disguise/radio access if needed.

Could I have distances for movement for Heracles and Kidemonas and how many walls did Freya put up please?

Kid is 12" For 72' Distance

Your call... I am not sure how many "walls" were needed...

I think just the one or two Kidemónas can fly over last minute will work.

I'd say 4, actually.

Figure 2 for the width of the UAR, and then another 2 as 'wings' to make sure it doesn't shoot wide just by accident.

The height of the walls is undefined in the spell; it would be up to the GM if you need additional segments to get high enough to block the UAR's weapons.

Interestingly too high to climb, but can be flown over.

What is the trapping on the wall? Will define how easy to see them

And if still being placed in front of the UAR-1, then only Heracles is on the other side of the barrier

So 4 sections?
The trapping is force. If you ask me, it is invisible, as Freya's "style" is "discreet and silent wins the day".

Standard Invisiblity would be Notice -4 to detect; of course, the UAR's sensors give a +2 bonus, I believe.

Damn, that's a good roll on the UAR-1. Still want me to drop the glitch card on it?

Nah, between that and the barrier, I think we're probably good (though Kid should weigh in on it, since he'd be the one targeted).

Please note that at least one barrier is down and i need to do the exploding dice on the grenades

Savant wrote:Nah, between that and the barrier, I think we're probably good (though Kid should weigh in on it, since he'd be the one targeted).

No opinion. Kid is designed to take damage. But not taking damage is even better.

For the interrogation, we've got a couple choices, partly depending on how co-operative the two men seem to be.

1: Straight-up mind-ripping. Penny tells Savant what they need to know, and Savant goes in asking questions--she can probably get three or so answers before running out of juice.

2: Confirmation. Penny handles the interrogation directly, asking what she wants to know in exchange for the men's eventual freedom. Savant is held in reserve, and then at the end uses Mind Reading to determine if the men have told the truth or not.

Obviously, option 2 gets us more intel for less ISP, but it is dependent upon them cooperating. Penny would need to negotiate from a position of strength--say, if they refuse, they'll be held captive longer, because Savant will need time to extract all the information--and of course, they'll have to get more 'face time' with Savant herself. OTOH, a quick interrogation and confirmation could get them released fairly quickly--sans radios, of course, so as to slow their return to their comrades with intel.

Freya can also "concoct" some gizmo to mind read the guys... But no torture. She is dead set against it.
They are the Tomorrow Legion, remember?

Lang still has his Deadboy armor disguise spell up, maybe between that and his high CHA and his communication band we can turn him to the light side. Lang could pretend to be a defector himself or something.

Ah. Hmm. Sorry? I kind of jumped the gun I guess. I had Heracles giving in to his delusions while he was "Getting It Together" and pull a shades of Braveheart bit.

Nevermind - I think Lang's CS armor illusion might have been cancelled when he puked anyway.

I think torture is bad, so I think leading with Penny and then switching to Savant if it doesn't pay off is the way to go.

How much time passes between this scene
http://savagerifts.com/sr/viewtopic.php ... 717#p30717

And this scene?
http://savagerifts.com/sr/viewtopic.php ... 013#p30719

Is the 6 hours for all of us or only for the new member?

Asking because Kid is supercharged from a Ley Line and still has 36 PPE, so with a fade rate of 1 per hour he will lose some unless we cross another Ley Line on the way.

Supercharged from what leyline? You are not near one in either scene?

24 hours out from Garnet Town in the first thread and then six hours for the rest of you to reach near glimmer valley

I just thought of a bad side to being under mind control. I am two post away from 20 (I have 19, but 1 of those is not qualifying), and will not be able to IC post in the mean time.

Is there a fair compromise to be had?

The direction you have from me is to attack the other dragon. How that goes down I'll leave to you post.

Corrigon wrote:The direction you have from me is to attack the other dragon. How that goes down I'll leave to you post.

Cool thanks. I did not realize i would still be allowed to post and attack.
But Kid being who he is will obviously be going all out with Wild Attacks

happy to still let you run your character. You just get some direction from me that's all

trying to figure out how to level up Mica. There does not seem to be any edges that will help my power armor directly, so it is a matter of spending them on herself. but I'm not sure what to get.



Her cyclone has 2 slots where weapons can be installed. likely that will take time to figure out those weapons.

Well, an Agility bump would let you raise Fighting and Shooting next time. Since you've got an RoF weapon, Rock'n'Roll is a good pick.

Roll Magic item per GM request.
Magic Item table (pg 48) [dice]0[/dice] = 8–11 Miscellaneous Item

Table 4: Item Type [dice]1[/dice] = Shirt

Table 4A: Item Powers [dice]2[/dice] = 1d3 edges [dice]3[/dice]

Table 4D: Edges

• [dice]4[/dice] = Command**
  [dice]5[/dice] = Combat Reflexes

We ended up with an enchanted shirt that provides the wearer with Command and Combat Reflexes I am guessing this could be like an enchanted uniform component or something that when worn increases the users self awareness, which generates the confidence to lead and awareness to snap out of minor injuries.

I heard a rumor from the GM there may be a bonus to taunt also attached to the Jester's Hat.

So both the shirt and the hat are basically nifty trinkets for our fearless leader (if she can stomach the idea of wearing a jester's cap...). Penny's the only one with Taunt, and Command is for the leader. If she wants to designate a battlefield commander, that person could get the shirt, I suppose.

Penny will wear the hat, though she might want to personalize it a little so it doesn't look like something out of that fantasy universe next door

Honestly not sure how much i want to continue playing in this game. I felt like I was waiting on everyone else to post the entire run and then at the end quarter other players spammed content in multiple thread to pull off higher post rates. and to me this game feels like everyone else's third wheel.

.....wow. Sorry to hear you feel that way. That's all I'll say for the moment.

That is a bummer. Your assessment totally makes sense to me, I am also one of those people who ended up spamming trying to get over my post count in this game and in the ARES game.

I know there was some real slow down because of the missing players and it left us dragging for 2 weeks for freya then again for 2 weeks for Langdon. But I thought after that we got back on track.

When Mica took off for the Skull Walker to distract it. I would have been fine if she had no survived. But events wiped out the coalition forces before that came into play. Just want to be honest with my intent in that action was.

I screwed up making Mica, being my first savage worlds/savage rifts character and not overly familar with Savage Worlds rules. I was looking at her, making an "anime" pretty character, when that is not something that is always needed. that ends up being a big flaw on her part. I also don't really connect with her as well. She's the sister of robotech character I had fun with long ago in my childhood. But that character is not possible to make. His edge was never something that was allowed in the first place.

If you need to switch characters the best time is right now while we are in town.

It is not uncommon for players to grow unsatisfied with their first character. You are also allowed to transfer your earned XP to the new one.

If you want to change character give me a shout and we can do that. Plenty of time to do so and Mica cab always be NPC'ed. Anything you have in mind?

We do have potentially a city rat joining us

for the time being, i am going to RP what is going on with her. While she is a soldier, she is also a 16 year old girl. she has been trying to handle and deal with the fact that she just killed a bunch of people. at this point the adrenaline is gone and she is going to do what a girl is going to do when she can't handle life and stress.

she also has to come to terms with the facts that the party is mostly literally monsters with no moral recourse, aka the crazies. But that is what Rifts is. combat monsters everywhere trying to make a living. Her universe is very different in that regard. Humans (and some aliens) fighting to take back their world from alien oppressors. So for the most part, they were not killing humans, just squashing (or being squashed by) bugs. Mind you bugs in giant battle mecha. But still ultimately bugs. Or rather Slugs, but same difference.

unfortunately my drawing is not exactly what I wanted. I feel it has her depicted as being too old. the other members of the party likely don't realize she is ultimately a kid still, well a teenager at least. She has always been in her armor. People don't really know what she looks like.

I need time to create a new character. I'm working on one right now for the CS game. I do have something in mind but I would have to play with it.

Sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied. I think Mica would have a friendly ear with Penny as two of the "normal ones," but I understand if you feel it's too little too late.

rope lowers from the skylight, slim form descends and hangs there, looking around

"Hm. Someone said there was a dragon hoard in here."

flips down to the floor and starts poking around

Hello Matt

On the first page of the ooc is the link to the hangouts

Great! Thanks!

Welcome aboard, Viv!

Welcome to the third.

Thank you, all!

Any thoughts on how I should come in? Should I just wander into town? Sent from the Castle?

You are being sent. Penny already has a little bit of info about you from her deputy

OY!!!


Hey all. ^_^ I'm back online!

I'm really sorry for being offline for so lone.

So okay, I will not bore you with issues in RL that include a downed PC and not able to connect online at all. I'll just say "hello" and ask how everyone is doing to see if I am still welcomed into the group after such a long hiatus.

Oh wow, hello and welcome back. I assumed you ghosted because you were not having fun or something. Welcome back. I do not know the census, but there is definitely room for White Hoof on SavageRifts.com
I think we are at 7 players for this one, which means if the GM is cool you could literally jump in. White Hoof has been working as a security chief in the background at Garnet Town.

Awesome. Glad to hear the character has been doing something instead of just blinking out of existence. I forgot what the Petron page was to support the game. What's it called again?

Awesome.

Thanks.

Hopefully Hoof can give you all some backup but if not I can look for another group for him

Welcome back!

Viv says hi. She's new. And not used to D-Bees yet. So don't get offended if she asks to touch your horn

Horns, he has multiple.

Welcome back. As discussed over messages, I will send you some info to get you up to speed.

Thanks all. Its good to be back.

Welcome back!

Reminder the GM said we need knowledge Engineering to keep digging does anyone have that?

Mica does.

I'm gonna freeze my character for now. this character just isn't working for me and the amount of time I have with everything else I need to do.

Sorry to see you go. Hopefully time frees up and you can come back with a new character.

Sorry to see you go as well. Gaming with you's been fun, and I hope to see you in another guise soon!

Also, I have to apologize for how slack I've been of late; school kicked in and suddenly I have a lot less free time. I'm nailing down a schedule but I hope for some patience from everyone while I figure it all out.

just to note, if Corrigan wants to use my character to further plot elements that is fine. I let him know where my character was heading on hangouts.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

Hey Corrigon, just checking in. Do you need any help from us, any stated actions or whatnot?

Hi Penny

No, this is down to me and some personal issues. Post is partly drafted and be up over the weekend.

I really must apologise to you all for the delay.

It happens to us all.

Hopefully whatever is throwing you off at home can be resolved. Family is more important than the game for sure.

Not a problem. Personal life takes priority. Looking forward to it!

Just saw this, I hope whatever is going on can be resolved soon. Take care of yourself Corrigan.

Do we have the successes we need now? I can still benny if need be.

for everything except the knowledge engineering. That I will deal with in the turn I am in the middle of writing

Ping?

I am going to start asking around to see if I can transfer Kid to another game.

I appreciate the game and enjoyed it while it lasted. But the last 9 months have just slowed to much for me to stay.

I hope things get better for you @Corrigon and even if not as a GM you can come back and rejoin as a player.

I'm sorry to everyone for this.

Life comes first Alex, I do not think any of us blame you or are even flustered with you. I just hope things get better for you.
If you have time you would always be welcomed an an empty seat at my table.

Yeah, don't sweat it. Your offline life is always more important.

@Venatus Vinco this game is retired for now. May want to move this forum to archive.
