OOC Stuff

In the late 22nd Century, there is a small human colony on Titan. Operational for six months, life is tough and challenging, but strange geological activity threatens to unearth alien horror and madness!

Sorry for delay on this.

Essentially I am caught with what to do with Seth; unless people object, I will propose we just wait the next 5 days till aine gets back?

Sorry for disruption.

I'm fine with waiting. She's missing from my game too, but there she can simply stay put if she does nothing.

And we are back on; threads now split temporarily.

The ventilation ducts are suitable for SIZ 10 or below to move through reasonably easy. At higher SIZ you would be squeezing and quite limited, up to SIZ 15 maximum.

Yes, welcome back!

Are we allowed to read each other's threads, or should we stay out of them?

And welcome back as well!

I am normally of the opinion that is players choice! I trust you not to metagame.

Ultimately you may feel that you would prefer to be kept in the dark for your own suspense, or you may feel it helps your engagement with the whole thing and aides crafting a better story. Your call! :)

If there is anything I judge absolutely should be the providence of just one player / character I will use pm!

ok so apologies for getting all Western / Pulp / Mexican Standoff for a moment...

Seth gets a DEXx5% chance of getting the first shot off. Otherwise its Drake.

Aine, if you could roll the DEXx5% and a Plasma Pistol skill shot; its not quite point blank range but I will allow a +10% chance to hit for relatively short range (making Seths chance 70%).

On a miss, could you throw me a luck roll; inevitably something will get damaged if you miss, but a luck roll will mean its relatively minor (and you can repair it even if it causes power loss), whilst a poor luck roll means boom - type action (not lethal, but something like an electric discharge or fire or getting sprayed with Scifinium gas).

MrHandy/Sam: You will certainly hear plasma fire. Make a listen roll to hear the conversation just prior to / after the shot (whatever Seth or Drake say in the IC thread). Your assumption might be of course that the plasma fire is from George Long.

On that note, as blood transfusions take a few minutes ++, anything Hattie would want to do whilst hooked up with tubes?

Close her eyes and think of England?

No, nothing that she'd be able to do hooked up to a tube.

So unless the doc is going to stab her in the skull, I don't mind fastforwarding half an hour. :)

I promise this is not my usual style - especially so soon in a game too!

Invisible Castle isn't working for me so I've dusted off the dice and got 78 for dex and 38 for plasma pistol, which is a hit I think. Supercape, could you roll damage for me as I don't know the amount?

Seth tips the brim of his sombrero just a bit and chews off the end of his cigar.

Yeah IC is down so Im rolling the real stuff: I got 12 Damage. Fortunately Ron has 15 HP (he is a big fit ex-military man). Still, I'm going to say that knocks him unconscious for the purposes of the thread. Plus all the normal narrative about severely injured with burns and needing medical attention.

NB: Struck me that whilst Seth is a pretty hardened fellow he just watch a man burn half to death by his own hand, and the wrong man at that. I think that warrants a 0/1D3 SAN check!

So we appear to have made a mistake in continuity about Seth having access to a plasma pistol. It is in fact a conversation I had with Aine over pm before the shooting.

I'll take my share of the "blame" for not double checking, but on the other hand the deed is done and this is a game, not a blame-game. I am highly disinclined to rewind over the mistake, partly because of momentum but mainly because (to my mind) the transpirations have been great fun!

If anyone has some view or idea how to address this, please chip in. My view is that continuity is of minimal importance other than that required for a reasonable suspension of disbelief - in other words, we do a sticky-plaster retcon that Hattie did not take her pistol.

I concur, it's more dramatic this way.

I'll edit the post, so it'll appear like nothing happened ;)

Yeah, we can always say that Hattie decided to leave her plasma pistol behind for Seth after all.

Sorry, my fault for reading incorrectly. I thought Hattie had kicked her gun over for Seth to pick up and only Sam retrieved hers. If you like, have Seth's gun now break so he can't use it again, and have Hattie pick up one in the infirmary. Then it's only poor old Ron who really suffers.
