Healing,There is simple first aid equipment to allow you to treat the injuries you have (first aid, remember can be applied to each individual injury) , in addition at this point Greg can use his [b]Medicine[/b] skill to provide additional healing over the next week (assuming you stay).

OOC,I'm not sure how many HP I lost, but I already got successful First Aid applied to all three of my injuries. The punch was only 1 damage, so that's healed now. The stab wound and gunshot wound have each been healed for 2. Is it possible to access the Internet from here? If I can't get online on my laptop, can I get a signal on my phone at least?

OOC: Internet,there is no wireless or network connection at the safe house there is however a poor signal for mobile phones.

House rule: GSW,I going to clarify what is essentially a house rule here, without a proper first aid kit all you can do with a gun shot wound is stop any further HP loss from bleeding/exacerbation, tearing off a shirt sleeve just wont cut it. NB Yes, you can fabricate a first aid kid from household materials, in the same way you can splint a broken arm with sticks and rags. First aid rolls made during this gunfight stand.

OOC,[b]Greg[/b] had said he was letting us use his first aid kit, but if that wasn't available I can get treated now. Does that mean I don't heal any HP from the gunshot wound even after that, or do I get them back when I get treated?

HPs,Just to clarify if you made any first aid rolls for a GSW during the fire fight, then you stopped the bleeding, but you didn't get the HP's back until you go the safe house and have access to proper first aid materials.

OOC: Liz,- First Aid Kits, Greg had a small first kit it on his belt it it simply wasn't going to provide the necessary materials to deal with the number of injuries the team suffered. However see above. For future consideration you might want to make sure everyone is carrying an individual first aid kit.

OOC: Jacob,In the absence of Imp Jacob gets 3HP back from First Aid followed by HP4 over the ensuing week assuming bed rest and Medical care.

OOC: Albert,In the absence of Imp Albert gets 2HP back from First Aid followed by HP6 over the ensuing week assuming bed rest and Medical care.

OOC: Clay,If Clay needs first Aid Greg ensures First Aid for 2HP, 2HP (I believe Clay had 2 injuries) and a further 3HP over the week assuming proper medical care. Clay also gets a phone call from his friend saying asking whether he knows Jacob or an Albert because the police are looking for them to help with enquiries - you might want to get rid of mobile phones, before the police start looking for them.

Help with Inquiries,Any good police investigation will try and eliminate absolutely every single lead. The police will have checked the registration of every vehicle at the scene and obtained the registered keepers. As far as they are concerned Jacob and Albert might well be material witnesses to a very violent crime, or they might have had their cars stolen. Either way as both of you have serious gun shot wounds (GSW) you really don't want to have to talk to the police right now.

OOC,Well, I'm not going be bored. There is one other form of entertainment: my laptop has a bunch of games on it that can be played offline, as long as I can plug it in so it doesn't lose its charge. Also, if [b]Albert[/b] mentions that he salvaged the hard drive from the house, I can also hook it up to the laptop and see what's on it.

E-mails:,Liz discovers an email thread in which Professor Gosshamm first lays out his proposition suggesting the Verbetoi are the last remaining elements of a progenitor civilization which existed over 15,000 years ago. He seems to indicate the fragments of the writing people found in Malta are actually copies by later less educated peoples after the Verbetoi moved to the area of ancient Illyria (modern day Albania). [A word doc is attached to the first mail - This paper is a more polished copy of the one Liz saw in Gosshamms office, the ideas are well formed, the evidence and arguments well-structured and well presented, but they are not conclusive. The archaeological evidence particularly is open to a great deal of interpretation, its probably not ready for peer review. Mathers come back is to constructively destroy Gosshamm's proposition on the basis that there is not enough supporting evidence and what evidence he does have is open to interpretation. Gosshamm's response is that there is almost further evidence on Malta, but the authorities have closed down the digs for the foreseeable future Mathers response is that he should move his search to Albania. The final post in the thread is a mail from Maria Demachi, in which Maria indicates she is and Gosshamm are heading into the Northern Mountains and that Gosshamm has some clues about where to go from evidence he gathered in Malta. This last mail is only a few days before the Prof's death.

Liz and Andy,If Liz wants to contact Andy just post it direct to his thread

Passports,Sadly for you guys you still require a passport to enter/exit the UK even if you are going to France - once on mainland Europe inter border checks are largely non existent.

gm,does Clay have a way to smuggle us all to France across the English Channel without going through checkpoints?

OOC: Clay,considering Clay owes for the safe house still, the answer is no. Probably the best thing would be to get some forged papers.

Mr Handy,If you want to leave a message for Andy post to his thread [url=http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/pbp/viewtopic.php?f=192&t=5080]here[/url]

ALL,Given a week to think about matters you may take this opportunity to make skill checks.

OOC,I already said we should go to Malta next (once [b]Albert[/b] arranges for some new passports). I said as much in my PM to [b]Andy[/b]. Do I see his reply? If so, we may want to head to Wales first, and we could do that while waiting for passports.

Plans,OK with Greg and Albert's players as non active at the moment, their characters are NPC's and will not use their own initiative so feel to boss them about. However, Albert needs to get home to produce the documents and has no transport to get there. Once there he can be left to his own devices. Basically, in the absence of active players feel free to make decisions and act upon them. I'll always give everyone to chime in.

OOC,You never said if I got a chance to see [b]Andy[/b]'s reply. That will affect my plans.

Andys response,As Liz has access to the interweb via her phone yes she can.

OOC,Actually, I used my laptop at home to access the Internet rather than my phone (where I probably have a router), while I was there packing. Does that make a difference? Having an apostrophe in the title of a spoiler button makes it impossible to open it, but I was able to see the text using the Quote function.

Liz,Liz's location and internet access does matter a bit, considering she is miles from home, in a safe house with no form of transport other than on foot and has been for the last week. Basically she wont have been able to go home.

Clay,The only car you have is the Volvo which the police were/are looking forward so it is in Clay's opinion to great a risk. They'd be far better off dumping it at the bottom of a lake somewhere.

OOC,I thought I was going home after the week was up to pack, and at that point I could go online. If that's not possible, I could try using the phone somewhere else to get online so as not to reveal the safehouse position just in case, or I can use it here if everyone else is okay with it.

gm,do I know a chop shop I could do a swap with maybe?

Clay,There has to be a limit to Clay's criminal connections, he can get guns and stolen bits and pieces, he'll knows lads that steal cars to joy ride, but that is really isn't what he needs any connections he can find will be in London and h doesn't want to drive a stolen car all the way to London (100+ miles). Be aware you've used a up a lot of favours getting access to this safe house and there wasn't any cash forthcoming - ie Clay is up to his neck.

Liz,there is phone signal on the farm and locations Liz can go which wouldn't implicate the safe house.

ghill,oh yea I figured that, was just trying to come up with ideas to get us moving. I'm stumped on what to do, I think all of us are.

Clay,Clay is a criminal stealing a car is for him a relatively simple task, source the cars from long stay car parks (airports would be ideal, but even a railway car parks, typically gives you 5-8 hours usage, and keep changing the cars - just describe Clay leaving and returning with a car. Some low end saloon and I wont even require die rolls.

ghill,I'll go find the nearest parking lot get something cheap and return.

OOC: Jacob,Trying to mislead the police is a risky proposition. At the moment the police have no connection between Jacob and any crime, apart from his car, which doesn't implicate him in any a crime anyway. A letter suggesting he's been kidnapped would by its nature be considered "wasting police time" a criminal offence, if it was ever discovered.

OOC: Papa,Assuming you get to your tools/equipment and have time then creating believable passports which will hold up to reasonable scrutiny (ie by a person with a trained eyeball) is not a difficult task for you. You need a [b]forgery[/b] roll per passport, but only fumbles are relevant (basically, you'll see and remedy any mistakes until they're fixed but with a fumble you've cocked up but don't realise it) Each passport is going to take you a days work. Credit cards slightly less so. You'll need forgery rolls for these as well. Failures will still look credible but simply wont work. I'll assume with your forgery skill you can source some credit card numbers.

Andy location,Actually Liz can see from the routing details of Andy's post that he is probably in a hotel somewhere near Warwick, Greg says from his recollection of his injuries he was probably let out at around the same time he gave them the all clear.

Forgery,Target:80 Passports x 6: 6 successes http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4481278/ Credit Cards x 6: 4 success, 2 fails (possible 1 fumble, what do we fumble on?) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4481279/ Driving licenses x 3: 2 success, 1 critical http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4481280/ (licenses for Albert, Jacob & Clay)
