[OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921

[Anatomist]

I read back and the Mask is in a sack in the truck than then is packed for this expedition.
Raiko, can we say since Dr.Sánchez has a particular interest in the golden Mask with the mirror like back surface, that he took it with him in his personal backpack?

[Raiko]

Yes, Dr. Sánchez has the mask if he wants it.
I was going to say that Jackson was carrying it if nobody else volunteered.

[Raiko]

I'm almost back up to full speed now, so hopefully we'll whizz through the rest of the prologue now.

I couldn't post yesterday as I had a few RL things to deal with (nothing bad) and was more tired than I expected in the evening.

:oops::oops:

Sorry! Every single time that I post something like this, I jinx myself.

I've been ill for a few days. Should hopefully be able to get posting again today.

[Silver Priest]

Indeed. I'm really enjoying this even if my recent posts have been a bit lean. Feel better.

[Raiko]

Thanks everyone, I'm feeling much better this week.

Hopeful of getting on with the game now.

[Raiko]

Sorry guys, had a busier evening than expected, so no time for a proper post.

[Anatomist]

Its ok!

[Raiko]

BTW: I'm not sure how to handle luck between the end of the prologue and chapter one several years later. So you could spend some points.

I'm most likely to get everyone to roll for luck again, but with a bonus if you had a high luck at the end of the prologue.

It won't just carry over.

[jp1885]

Why must you put temptation in my way Raiko? Can you spend luck on a pushed roll?

EDIT: answered my own question.

Luck points may not be spent to alter the result of a pushed roll.

[Raiko]

Yes, you can spend luck on any roll except for a fumble. I can't remember off the top of my head whether you can turn a fumble into a straight failure.

You get to tick the skill if you succeed a pushed roll, but not if you spend luck to get the success.

[Raiko]

Oops, sorry! It says that you can't push a roll and spend luck, but I honestly don't mind as luck hasn't been used much, and once we're onto the main adventure you'll have to spread your luck over the whole campaign.

Luck is an optional rule anyway, so I'm happy to allow luck on a pushed roll.

I was correct that luck can't change a fumble though, or make a success into a critical.

[jp1885]

Lol I don't think I have enough luck to save that roll anyway! Ah well, might as well fit the ward while she's in there!

[Mr. Handy]

I don't know too much about the rules, but I remember that you can't spend Luck on a Luck roll, or on a Sanity roll.

The first roll that failed could have been turned into a success with Luck. That would have "only" taken 26 points. It might have been better if I or Michael Anderson, who have good Climb skills, had tried it instead.

[jp1885]

Fair point, but why should you have all the fun?

Looking at my luck, I could probably force the pushed roll if allowed, but I'm not going to - I was toying with the idea of having an impatient Cynthia wade into the pool anyway.

Atauchi looked at Marcus and passed the popcorn bucket towards the other man.

"Now this getting interesting." he said.



I couldn't resist. Good luck on that Luck roll, jp.

[jp1885]

LOL you had to jinx it didn't you?

[Raiko]

I'm very sorry for the unexpected cliffhanger, I will be able to update the thread tonight.
