[OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Were the two kharisiri we sniped at the pyramid site the last two? Or were there others still lurking about? I really expected you to send a small swarm after Atauchi and Marcus while the others went below.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
I really enjoyed it Raiko, thanks for adding to the scenario. Additions like that really make the games so much more fun. ''
Looking forward to part 1. It's the only part of Masks I've really read through completely, but I'm eager to play through it myself and see what changes have occured.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Yeah, but I've got a lot of repeat skill ticks here. I failed on a few I would have liked to have made too.Anatomist wrote: Didn't you get to tick a skill?
Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Yes, thank you, Raiko. The prologue was great, and the additions were seamless! I'm looking forward to New York. I've started it several times, but I've never gotten far in it.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Things to discuss, before we wrap up:
a) What to do about the "treasure" - some of it is stolen from recent victims, and so probably belongs back with their families, other older items belong in a museum. Having said that, Jackson for one isn't above taking some of it home with him. That is the done thing with ancient ruins in the 20's after all.
b) What to do about the pyramid - revealing it to the world would risk releasing the Father of Maggots.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
a) Assuming we've still got llamas, could we load them up? The recent items should certainly be returned, but Cynthia would have no issue with looting the place so long as she had her share. After all, clearing the place out could deter other treasure hunters.
b) We should definitely keep quiet about the pyramid. Maybe seal the entrance shafts with the dynamite we took from Larkin and fill the crack at the top with rubble? Perhaps the farmer and his son, not to mention Nayra, would help keep the place under wraps.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
I've been rereading Chapter 1.
Should be ready to go as soon as we're finished at the ruins.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Cool!
I think we're all pretty agreed on a plan to deal with the pyramid and it's treasures, so I see no reason not to fast-forward to the character development stage and then head to the Big Apple.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
And who says that investigating the Mythos doesn't pay? It's apparently made us all very rich.
Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Getting rich is what drew Atauchi to join Larkin's expedition in the first place. He's not financially well off. That said, when you next see him in New York he'll be wearing an expensive Italian suit with matching shoes and a Rolls Royce. Okay, maybe not.
On another note, to the Keeper, was Atauchi's efforts at preserving de Mendoza's head as a trophy successful?

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
If the plan works and Marcus gets rich from this he's going to retire early in New York, but he's only a phone call away f you guys need to get in touch. He'd gladly do it for old times sake.
Other than that he's gonna party like it's 1929. Well, the first half.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Cynthia will use her share of any money generated to fund her further studies.
Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Sometime during the weekend I'm going to lock the IC thread in preparation for posting the beginning of chapter one.
I'll also post character development details tomorrow.
It's been great running the prologue, thanks for being an amazing group of players. I'm expecting to be able to post at a fast pace again once we kick off the main adventure.

END OF PROLOGUE: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
I'll get the skill checks list updated by tomorrow.
In addition to skill gains, each investigator receives the following sanity rewards for completing the prologue adventure:
Regarding the hoard of gold (it's like D&D!) - There is enough to:
Obviously that's a lot of money in the 1920s - enough that I also need to take a look 7E's weird rules for changing social class.
So - does that effect your plans much? Will you all still be in New York at the end of 1924 with Dr. Sánchez?
Jackson will still be getting The Hungry Dead published in 1923, dating Amy, and departing in June 1924 to follow up leads on August Larkin's past for his next book. He plans to formally propose to Amy when he returns.
A more lengthy summary of Jackson's activities will be the main part of my next IC post.

In addition to skill gains, each investigator receives the following sanity rewards for completing the prologue adventure:
- Killing or otherwise defeating Luis de Mendoza: +1D6 Sanity points.
- Killing or otherwise defeating Augustus Larkin: +1D4 Sanity points.
- Restoring the ward on the pyramid and destroying the kharisiri: +1D8 Sanity points.
Regarding the hoard of gold (it's like D&D!) - There is enough to:
- Repair Eliza's farm & get it running as a business again.
- Buy the land the ruins occupy
- Help out the farmer family - the one's John is with. Plus others like Nayra and the family of Trinidad.

Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
@Raiko I have checks for Atauchi in Firearms (Bow), Firearms (Rifle/Shotgun), History, Listen, Occult, Spot Hidden, and Track. Let me know if that's correct by your records.
Re: [OOC]Prologue - Peru, March 1921
Sanity gain:
[dice]0[/dice]+[dice]1[/dice]+[dice]2[/dice]
Amy would still be in New York, continuing her education. She'll just be able to afford it better now.
