Joint Task Force Special Operations- Welcome and chat

[Philulhu]

Ok, thanks for letting us know

[Mr. Handy]

No worries, I'm happy to wait too.

[welsh]

Hey Mates-

Again, apologies for keeping you waiting. Grading is happily over and done, but spouse and I had to go off to visit my 92+ year old Mom for the first time since the pandemic, and internet access has been spotty as hell. I will be posting a few pm's soon and then hopefully get out something a bit more in the next couple of days. Have not forgotten us in this cliff-hanger moment.

[Philulhu]

Ok. I hope your mum’s well and you have a safe trip.

Harry’s SAN check (55%) - 1d100

[Mr. Handy]

The same for me.

Miranda's Sanity roll (current level 70):
d%

[welsh]

Hey guys-

Thanks. Mom is well, which is kind of remarkable for a 91 year old.

Holding back as Snapper has to make a couple of rolls - for Conroy and for Javier. I've shot Snapper a pm. But I can roll for him as well. I'll give it till Weds. Snapper, if you can pm the rolls that would be great. If not, I'll roll up for him.

But at the moment, the two characters that really are in play are Harry and Miranda. Harry, passes his sanity check, no sanity loss there. You can see the pm. Miranda is not so lucky. Handy, let's take those rolls through pm.

[Mr. Handy]

The dice roller doesn't work from within a PM, so I'll have to make any rolls here.

[welsh]

Hey Handy-

No worries, we play by an honor system. Feel free to roll and let me know what you get via pm. I'd like to get Miranda's mental state worked out before we make more moves.

Plus, I am holding back for Snapper.-- On second thought, seems Snapper has been away since May. I can roll for him.

[Mr. Handy]

The only PM I got about Miranda was the one asking for a Sanity roll, which I rolled above and failed. I didn't get any instructions for additional rolls beyond that. Is the Sanity roll in the IC thread for all characters, including Miranda again? I'll need to know how much Sanity I lost first if that's the case, as that will determine what I need to roll against with the second one.

I'm also running out of space for PMs. I still have some room left, but eventually I'll have to start deleting old PMs, and I'd rather avoid that.

[Snapper]

Back with you!

Unhappily, fails for both Conroy and Gonzalez.

[Snapper]

Should I post for both of them anyway or wait to hear how they react?

[welsh]

Hey gents- sorry I have been awfully slow posting. I’ve had a bunch of things going on and am currently abroad. I should be back around Aug 1. Again, apologies for the delay.

[welsh]

Hey Folks-

Sorry to do this but I am sending some further apologies for being an absent dungeon master/handler/Keeper. Things have been hectic, in part because of being abroad, then aging family, then I got hit with some serious health issues, and now back on campus teaching. I was recently diagnosed with Cancer and while it is treatable, it does mean I need to focus on that, while also balancing work obligations. So apologies for the delay in continuing the game. I haven't forgotten this or you guys, and do plan to return to the game soon- or at least once things get settled down. So apologies for the delays and hopefully I will be able to return to gaming- and honestly, I could use the distraction and fun of it.

[Philulhu]

Hi welsh,

Take all the time you need. Your health’s the most important thing.

Finger’s crossed for you.

Phil.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm willing to wait as long as you need too. Take care of yourself, and I hope things get better for you.

[Snapper]

Fuck me, that's no good Mate. It's a good thing the last 18 months haven't been completely hellish on top of that, no wait...

Your health is your priority. I'll still be here. (Assuming the internet doesn't globally collapse, and if that happens then Winter is Here.) Feel better soon!
