FROM: Pele's Tears <noreply-transcript@pelestears.net> Hello Trent Hergenrader, PELE'S TEARS TRANSCRIPT WITH USERS RP *** (4:29 PM) RICKARD POSTEN USE THIS ONE!!! CHAT ROOM USER GM HAS LOGGED ON USER RP HAS LOGGED ON <GM 16:30> Welcome to Le Grande Experiment! Partial disclosure: we're running SIX campaigns simultaneously this afternoon (Trent has 3, Bryce has 3) and you've all logged into your own private rooms per our email earlier this week. The GMs are going to be keeping you posted as best you can but you might want to have a book or iPhone handy as there may be gaps as we work out what exactly is happening. Remember that three dots [...] means hang on, there's more text coming. PLEASE KEEP CHATTER TO A MINIMUM. This is going to be difficult enough to manage without sorting through all kinds of cutesy emoticons and jokes. We can joke about it later, if it all works. Also try to keep questions to a minimum. When you need to roll we will tell you what attributes to check, so don't ask: we'll tell you. And while you're waiting, have your stats sheet handy and try to get into character and think about what you would do next. Remember your long pauses are action for someone else, so just hang in there. And without further adieu we'll get going... USER RP HAS LEFT THE CHAT USER GM HAS LEFT THE CHAT

SUBJECT: Your Pele's Tears Transcript
<GM 16:34> You're squatting on a hillside, flanked by your comrades watching your targets. No sign of MPD yet but your intelligence was accurate though since there are lots of scavengers entering the building, including women and children. Not only is this the biggest congregation of scavengers you've ever seen, but you rarely see whole families together, but there are several in attendance. As you sit and watch, you can hear the crowd's murmurs die down as someone starts speaking. A few seconds later you hear some angry shouting from inside. [start playing now!]
<RP 16:35> What are ordered to do? I'll do whatever we were ordered to do.
<GM 16:43> Out of the shadows you see a group of figures flanking the building in an orderly fashion. You can safely assume this is the MPD…
<GM 16:46> You watch as a scavenger exits the building and one of the MPD drops him with a rifle butt…
<GM 16:51> You see the signal given and the MPD storm the place without a single shot fired. The situation seems pretty stable from your vantage point…
<GM 16:55> OK, your leader gives you the signal to move in.
<GM 16:58> There's some shouting going on inside, some hiccup. Your leader raises his hand, waiting to give the signal.
<GM 17:00> Someone throws a grenade flies through he window. Roll DEX + FIREARMS to open fire.
<RP 17:00> Eight dots!
<RP 17:01> Sorry seven.
<RP 17:01> [ 6 6 0 3 5 9 7]
<GM 17:02> You're watching green shadows drop. Not sure if you're hitting MPD or scavengers though.
<GM 17:03> The whole thing is kind of a mess though. You can see that your group isn't pressing in to close off the escape routes like they should.
<GM 17:03> Can I direct them somehow?
<GM 17:04> Not really. No one's paying attention.
<RP 17:05> Okay, then I just do my own thing. I try my best to only hit MPD guards though.
<GM 17:09> Just a sec…
<GM 17:13> Okay, as you're shooting and picking your targets someone throws a flash-bang and it goes off when you're not looking through the scope. In the brief flash of light before you see only stars, you see a woman and a man fleeing, and she has long, blond hair and is wearing a long kind of cape...
<GM 17:14> You can't be sure, but you felt like it could have been none other than Delia Reichman.
<RP 17:14> WTF? Really?
<RP 17:15> Are they running?
<RP 17:15> What are my obligations here?
<RP 17:15> Will anyone see me chase after them?
<GM 17:16> They're running away in the dark so you need to go now if you want to catch them
<GM 17:16> you've been ordered to regroup after the attack but it looks like things are falling apart. And you're coming under fire from inside. Someone is standing right in the window covering the hillside in lead. Missed you by inches."
<RP 17:17> And I keep this sweet gun…
<RP 17:17> Right, fuck them. I'm taking off after the girl
<RP 17:17> lol. Just a sec…
<GM 17:21> Roll PER or WITS + INVESTIGATION to follow their trail. It's dark and confusing
<RP 17:22> Five dots.
<RP 17:22> [ 8 8 4 6 3 ]
<GM 17:22> good enuf. You're on their trail
<RP 17:23> Sweet
<GM 17:24> OK let's stop here and pick up next time.
<GM 17:24> Would be better with another player (the guy she's with)
<RP 17:25> Sure. That's it then?
<GM 17:26> yep. Email later, bye.
<RP 17:26> bye
