<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...
<GM 16:34> Okay, so you've staked out a spot a safe distance from the gutted building that was identified for you as the location of the swap. It's quite cold and, as you said in your email earlier this week, you've brough a lot of weapons so you can't keep a low profile AND stay comfortable. 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!]
<TR 16:36> I stay put and keep watching. I get my shotgun ready, just in case.
<GM 16:38> Sit tight. Will be back with updates…
<GM 16:42> You see some shadowy figures advancing in the darkness toward the building…
<GM 16:47> As you're watching you see a guy come outside and he gets whacked over the head by one of the MPD guards stationed at the door. They scoot him off to the side and get back into position
<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 16:59> From the shadows you see a second group of darkened figures closing in around the buidling.
<TR 16:59> Can I see if they're MPD or scavengers?
<GM 17:01> No. Too dark. But one throws a grenade through the window and the hillside is alight with muzzle flashes as they open fire.
<TR 17:01> Shit! Lol
<GM 17:02> What do you do?
<TR 17:03> Can I find someone to take out from behind w/o the others noticing?
<GM 17:07> Shit sorry. Yes. Roll PER or WIT + STEALTH
<TR 17:08> [ 8 7 3 2 3 1 ]
<TR 17:08> 1 success w/7
<GM 17:10> Hold on for a second…
<GM 17:15> Just another sec…
<TR 17:15> No prob, no rush
<GM 17:19> Where were we? You sneaking up on a guy, right?
<TR 17:19> yup
<GM 17:20> So you're behind this dude who is using a really fancy sniper rifle. I mean *really* fancy. Top of the line tech. And he's pop pop popping away.
<GM 17:20> No idea you're behind him. Free shot.
<GM 17:21> DEX + MELEE
<TR 17:21> I want to incapacitate him, not knock him out. With my club.
<TR 17:21> [ 9 9 0 3 ]
<GM 17:22> Good shot! Plus a bonus for him not being aware, you completely clock him, knocking him senseless
<TR 17:24> I want to drag him back away from the action to whatever cover I can find.
<TR 17:24> I take out my knife and stick it under his throat, and then slap him around a little to wake him up.
<GM 17:25> He's up and aware of what's going on. He draws in a breath to shout but feels the knife and thinks better of it.
<TR 17:26> I say in my most threatening voice
<TR 17:26> WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR? SCREAM AND I CUT YOUR THROAT. LIE AND I CUT YOUR THROAT. NOW TELL ME WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?
<GM 17:27> Tough guy
<GM 17:27> Roll MANIPULATION + INTIMIDATION
<TR 17:27> You know it!
<TR 17:27> Shit. Not good. 3 in manip, big fat zero in intimidation.
<TR 17:28> [ 0 0 2 ]
<TR 17:28> That's how you roll son
<TR 17:28> Can terrence buy a lottery tikcet?
<GM 17:29> Two perfects. So the guy practically messes his pants and he really thinks you're going to kill him. Through his tears his says…
<GM 17:29> IT WAS CARLO REYES. CARLO REYES SENT US.
<TR 17:30> WTF?
<TR 17:30> Is he lying?
<TR 17:30> Can I tell?
<GM 17:31> Well you can tell that HE doesn't think he's lying.
<TR 17:33> OMG LOL I have no idea what to do. I'm just sitting here thinking WTF
<GM 17:33> You might want to think faster as the attack is winding down. They're already calling to regropu.
<TR 17:35> Then I smash this guy in the face with the heel of my knife. This time I want his lights out.
<GM 17:36> Let's just say this happens, no roll. He was so terrified you could do whatever. So he's unconcscious.
<TR 17:37> Can I loot him?
<TR 17:37> Do I have time?
<GM 17:38> Yep…
<GM 17:39> He smells bad and hasn't washed in forever. On his body you find a small pocket knife in bad shape and some extra ammo. And of course the rifle. It looks more than a little like this <URL>
<GM 17:40> But that's it.
<TR 17:41> Then I stash my knife and guns and grab the rifle and GTFOOT
<GM 17:42> Give me a DEX + STEALTH to see if you make a clean getaway
<TR 17:43> [ 9 1 9 6 5]
<GM 17:44> Your luck night. You slip off into Rivertown without detection. Like you were never there.
<TR 17:46> Okay, so what does that mean that he said Carlo Reyes?
<TR 17:46> Does that mean Carlo Reyes is attacking the MPD?
<GM 17:47> That's what that guy said/
<TR 17:47> He's one of the heads of the MPD though right?
<GM 17:48> Yep
<TR 17:49> So why would he be attacking his own troops?
<TR 17:49> That doesn't make any sense.
<GM 17:50> Nope
<TR 17:51> But those guys attacking the MPD weren't MPD thmeselves right?
<GM 17:51> They were not wearing MPD armor, no.
<TR 17:53> What's with this gun?
<TR 17:53> The one I stole off him
<GM 17:54> It's very fancy. It's got some auto-aiming function and a 3D nightvision scope.
<TR 17:55> So not something you see everyday.
<GM 17:56> Not something you see like ever. First one you've seen.
<TR 17:57> And they all had them?
<GM 17:57> Well THIS guy had one. You know that for sure.
<TR 17:58> LOL DAMN YOU!
<TR 17:58> :)
<TR 17:58> I just want to know what the hell is going on
<TR 17:58> Is that so wrong?
