OOC Lover in the Ice

Lafontaine, Missouri, is paralyzed by an ice storm. Delta Green has received a silent alarm from a storage unit in the city and needs eyes on the ground. (Content warning: body horror and sexual violence.)

For some reason I'd thought there were three of us in our thread all along (out of the four characters).

Thanks. I hadn't read the other thread, as I didn't know if we were allowed to read it. May I read it now?

I wasn't able to view it right from the link. Only the first page displays, and the font is fairly small. I'll probably need to download it anyway so I can zoom in on the PDF.

You can read through Scott's thread since Filagree was there for most of it. See if it works better when downloaded.

There were three but justinhorner never posted so it ended up Mike, Sarah and Scott.

Healing
There are four types of healing: Resuscitation, Stabilization,
Treatment, and Recuperation.
RESUSCITATION: Sometimes it’s possible to resuscitate
a dead character. If the Handler says resuscitation
is possible, someone must make a First Aid test.
This must occur within a number of minutes after
death equal to the victim’s CON score. If it succeeds,
it restores 1D4 HP (doubled for a critical success)
and allows the patient to recover. If First Aid fails,
the victim dies and may not be resuscitated.
STABILIZATION: Stabilizing a wounded character
with a successful First Aid test immediately heals 1D4
HP. A critical success doubles the amount healed; a
fumble inflicts 1D4 damage. Once your Agent receives
first aid, success or failure, the Agent can’t benefit
from it again until he or she suffers damage again.
TREATMENT: Treatment is medical care in a hospital
or aid station with extensive tools and medicines. A
doctor can attempt a Surgery or Medicine test once
per week: Surgery for critical care of severe wounds;
Medicine for poison, disease, and ongoing healing. If
treatment succeeds, the patient recovers 1D4 HP. This
is doubled with a critical, while a fumble inflicts 1D4
HP damage. At the Handler’s discretion, having less
extensive tools and medicines may incur a penalty.
RECUPERATION: Over time, the human body repairs
itself. A patient who rests in a safe place with proper
food and water can attempt a CON×5 test once per
day to recover 1 HP (in addition to any HP recovered
due to medical treatment).

I'm reviewing some combat rules to check some things but expect everything that has happened so far to stay canon, in the future help me remember

When your turn comes up, declare your Agent’s action—
attack, called shot, disarm, or pin—and make
the roll. Your Agent can harm, disarm or pin only one
target a turn (the attack might hurt others, but all
attacks have a single target).
A roll to attack, disarm, pin, or make a called
shot also opposes each Unarmed Combat and Melee
Weapons attack against your Agent until your Agent’s
next action. If an attack fails to overcome your roll, it
does no harm.
To oppose an attack, your Agent must know the
attack is coming. That requires seeing or hearing the
attacker. The Agent must also be physically able to
block the Attack, if it is melee. A pinned Agent can’t
defend, nor can an Agent who has already successfully
pinned a target.
An attack roll with a ranged weapon does not
oppose attack rolls against your Agent.

I thought tying your number was a success.

It is in the regular Call of Cthulhu rules. I don't know whether that's been changed in the new Delta Green.

Zeppo:
Repressing Insanity
Sometimes it’s easier to cope with mental trauma if
you pull strength and motivation from the relationships
that give life meaning. You may attempt to
repress the blind panic of temporary insanity or an
acute episode of a disorder by spending Willpower
Points. The amount is always 1D4: roll the die and
reduce your WP by that much.
If your Agent still has at least 1 WP after spending
the 1D4, describe how a Bond might help your Agent
keep it together and reduce the Bond by that much.
Now attempt a Sanity roll. If it succeeds, your
Agent suppresses the insanity or disorder and behaves
normally.
Either way, make a note to describe later how the
Bond has strained because your Agent has taken so
much support from it.

On that note Mr. Handy never rolled for seeing the Amante.

Are you guys happy with the game so far? Would you like longer/more detailed post from me or are we good as is?

I'm happy with it so far, and it's fine the way it is. If you want to make longer and more detailed posts, though, that's okay too.

I had been in the ambulance and didn't see the creature when the Sanity roll instructions were initially posted, and I forgot about them when I got outside. I'll roll now:
Sanity roll (current level 63) for seeing the Amante:
[dice]0[/dice]
Sanity loss for seeing the Amante:
[dice]1[/dice]
Does that mean I went temporarily insane, or do I get an Idea roll?

There would have been a temporary insanity but we won't worry about that for now. You can make an idea roll and in that case I'll also let zeppo make one.

Idea roll (75% stat) to avoid temporary insanity - failure is good:

So, you do get an insane insight or no?

That's entirely up to you. I just wanted to roll Idea to see if I avoided temporary insanity by failing the roll.

Humans are nothing but sexual organs for the Amante (idea).

I'm fine either way. I should have time this weekend to create a secondary character.

Yes, I could create one this weekend too. I think Brian is about ready to burn out by this stage.

I think that's what we we will do, those who want to can create a member of the backup squad but it isn't required. This is a more formal cleanup squad so plan for that, probably adapted to something.

Zeppo, do you want a character for the cleanup squad? It's cool either way. This game is nearing the conclusion I think, I hope you guys will be willing to join my next one when the time comes. Has anyone done Convergence or Music From A Darkened Room?
