OOC - Chapter Five - Onto The Ice

[Dave Syrinx]

"Hi, ho, hi ho, we to a derelict wreckage go!" So till we get access to the ship´s interior we´ll play cards!

[Raiko]

Sorry, I don’t think that I’ll be able to post at all today - I should be able to in another 24 hours.

If I do get chance, I’ll post in this game first as my last posts were in my Masks game.

[Raiko]

Hi everyone, sorry for the hold up - I’ve been a little busy (end of year rush), but hopefully I’m nearly finished now.

I should be able to post again either this evening, or tomorrow during my lunchtime. After that I don’t expect any more hold-ups from my end.

BTW: If any of you aren’t going to be able to post over the holiday period, please could you let me know. As I’ve said I should be ok once I’ve wrapped up my work commitments.

[Henrik]

I expect to be busy having other things on my mind than roleplaying (like getting a job!)

[Dave Syrinx]

Good luck Henrik! We, the rest of us, work on keeping ours! i.e: posting from work...

[Raiko]

Good luck Henrik![/color]

I second that.

********************

If Syrinx is online, then John is definitely the man to try with the rope (throw skill 80+), please just make the roll, and post a reply to Officer Turlow.

If not, or if nobody else fancies throwing the rope, then either Turlow can try, or everyone will need to make Climb, DEX and Luck rolls while scaling the Iceberg.

[Dave Syrinx]

Climbing the iceberg...target 80% (1d100=63)
Taking aim and throwing the rope and grappling hook in a wide arc and securing it for some ice climbing.

[Dave Syrinx]

Heading up (after Isugtag?), Climbing roll, up the iceberg... (1d100=87)

[amarriner]

So this roll is for climbing the rope, right? Since Syrinx's roll was successful we don't need to climb the iceberg?

Anyway, Isugtag's roll was ... not so good.

Not sure if I should post in the IC thread yet or wait to see what the results of that roll are? Sorry for stumbling here.

[Dave Syrinx]

Well my roll was barely a success, no great distance to failure there! But hey, I made it. Hopefully the extra rope will aid you in your attempt. Hold on tight to the rope, Amarriner. Both John and Isugtag should be used to falling off of cliffs, don´t you worry about a thing, he said crossing fingers.

We´ll have to wait for Raiko to put this together correctly. Could be fun!

Climb (1d100=70)

Piece of cake

[Steerpike]

Climbing 40%(1d100=35)

I made it

[OrionUK]

Climb 1d100-> [88] = (88)

James didn't like the look of ice face but hoped he would cope with the rope. If it looks like he will struggle with the rope he will tie the second rope around his waist to see if the other guys will give him a hoist.

[Raiko]

Sorry, I've been much busier than expected at work prior to the start of the holidays.

I've finished until the new year now though.

I'll catch up on the posts and get things moving along again over the weekend - thanks everyone for trying to keep going as well as you can without me.

[Decrepit]

Jack is supposed to go over, right? I'm afraid I've lost the thread of the action here. If so, does he need to climb?

[amarriner]

I'm a little confused as well. I thought we had two separate options. Either use the ropes to go up the side of the ship or attempt to clamber up the iceberg. I know Isugtag failed his climb roll, but I'm not sure of his current status (what the fail means).

[Dave Syrinx]

My guess is that you ought to make a dex roll to see if you get a grip on the rope again, or a luck roll. It´s your choice, whichever fits best. So make a roll at the Inv.castle to save yourself from a hard fall. Ultimately it´s up to Raiko to say how far up Isugtag climbed before the mishap. On the other hand it was no fumble...

To be on the safe side, make a roll and post it here. If it´s low you´ll be alright.

[If I´m out of line here, let me know Raiko.]

[Dave Syrinx]

Regarding the climbing roll, I gather that since John made the throw and climbed up. No one else needs to make climb rolls. That option was if no rope was thrown!
So, as I posted IC John waits for a photo op from the camera crew!

[Raiko]

Everyone needs to make a successful climb roll to get up, but the rope doubles your skill (up to a maximum of 99%), without rope the hull would be impossible to climb.

As the default climb skill is 40%, and most of you have increased levels, then most of you only fail on a roll of 00%.

Failure means you don't make progress, critical failure (failed with a roll of 95%+) means you fall into the sea.

I'll catch up with the posts, and post here myself later today. I'll make any outstanding climb rolls myself before posting.

Sorry again for the hold up, I hope you're all having a nice Christmas.

[Decrepit]

Crap. Man overboard.

Climb roll: 94%

(Not sure which of these links you want; they've changed IC since I was last there.)
