Hello Trent Hergenrader,

DIVINECHAT TRANSCRIPT WITH USERS PS, SM

*** (08:26) GAME TIME! CHAT ROOM

USER GM HAS LOGGED ON

<GM 20:26> Hello hello.
<GM 20:26> I have another session running long so when you log in just read this setup and I'll be with you in a sec.
<GM 20:26> So you two are partnered together heading north to Mansion Inn. You don't know each other very well and you don't like this assignment even though it's pretty routine. Every two weeks the MPD changes guard posts. You two were stationed at Summerland (for a few weeks, maybe longer?) and now you've been drawn to head to the Mansion, where the Reichman clan lives. Your squad of 15 MPD guards (all men, for what that's worth) depart from Summerland at 7:30 AM. Remember to write in CAPS if you're talking to teach other in character.

<PS 20:33> "So you two are partnered together heading north to Mansion Inn. You don't know each other very well and you don't like this assignment even though it's pretty routine.

<GM 20:34> I'm back. You two read the above?. That's where we're starting.
<SM 20:34> Yes.
<GM 20:34> Posten?
<PS 20:34> Here. C;mon, Times ticking.
<SM 20:34> So what do we see?
<SM 20:34> Are we like marching? Or like flanking?
<GM 20:35> Walking cautiously is the norm.
<GM 20:35> Imagine the downtown area burned out and boarded up. Rubble all around. Lots of debris and a mist off the lake.
<GM 20:35> Plenty of places ot hide.
<PS 20:35> I've got my rifle on my shoulder but ready to sling it down.
<SM 20:35> Me too.
<GM 20:36> Symon, you don't have a rifle, you have a sidearm,.
<SM 20:36> Then I've got my hand on that ready to draw.
<GM 20:36> Hold on. Rolling for random encounters.
<SM 20:36> Wait a sec.
<SM 20:37> Nevermind.
<GM 20:37> Okay, so your squad gets a half-mile north of Summerland and ou split into teams. You two get grouped to do the beach patrol.
<GM 20:37> A few weeks back a couple guards got sniped walking this very path of beach. Shot dead.
<PS 20:37> By who?
<GM 20:37> Dunno.
<PS 20:37> Can I roll perception?
<GM 20:38> No need at this point. But you split off and head up the beach. Right?
<PS 20:38> Right >.> I'm keeping my eyes peeled.
<GM 20:39> Okay. Roll perception.
<GM 20:39> We're playing that the first person who calls the action rolls, and no doubling up. So Posten's role counts for both. Anything over a 6 is a success.
<PS 20:39> [ 5 8 10 ]
<GM 20:40> Two successes. So up the beach a couple hundred yards you see what you think is a dark figure moving down by the beach.
<PS 20:40> Think? I rolled a 10!
<GM 20:40> It's misty, remembeR?
<PS 20:40> What's protocal for MPD?
<GM 20:41> None really. BRB.
<PS 20:41> So Meli what should I do? Shoot?
<PS 20:42> I mean MELI WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOOT?
<PS 20:42> Hello?
<PS 20:43> HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO?
<PS 20:44> RU there?
<GM 20:44> Okay, the figure starts running. What do you want to do?
<PS 20:45> Simon's pissed off somewhere. Not playing.
<GM 20:45> Didn't log off thoug.
<GM 20:45> Forget it. Keep going.
<GM 20:45> What do you want to do? The guy ran into a little beach hut.
<GM 20:46> Lifeguard tower. Now he's coming out.
<PS 20:46> Can I see him through my scope?
<PS 20:46> I train my rifle scope on him.
<GM 20:46> Okay, you have him the cross hairs.
<PS 20:46> Is he in rangE?
<GM 20:47> Yes.
<PS 20:47> I don't know if this is a good idea.
<PS 20:47> Gunfire could draw attention.
<GM 20:47> He's making a dash for the woods across the street.
<PS 20:47> MELI! I NEED SOME HELP HERE! What should I do?
<GM 20:48> Okay, that's over. He disappeared into the mist and trees. BRB again.
<PS 20:48> Well that was anti-climatic.
<GM 20:51> Okay, so that was that. No Meli?
<PS 20:51> No
<PS 20:51> How can we play now?
<GM 20:51> Want to keep playing?
<GM 20:51> See if he comes back?
<PS 20:52> Sure
<GM 20:52> Okay, so the guy is gone but you can see a black shape on the beach where the water breaks.
<PS 20:52> Do we for sure know it was a guy running?
<GM 20:52> No.
<GM 20:52> My bad. "Figure."
<PS 20:53> Okay. We head up the beach. I keep my rifle on my shoulder and keep my eyes on the trees.
<GM 20:53> You get closer and you can see that it's a body. Dead.
<PS 20:53> I inspect it.
<GM 20:53> It's a woman. Her face and neck is all gashed open and torn apart.
<PS 20:54> Does it look like the guy killed her?
<GM 20:54> No, it looks like she was torn open by wild animals.
<PS 20:54> I mean "figure"
<GM 20:54> LOL
<GM 20:54> She ain't lookin real good though, in the surf like that.
<PS 20:55> Would we have time to bury her?
<GM 20:55> No, you're on patrol.
<GM 20:55> Higher ups wouldn't like it.
<PS 20:56> She have anything on her?
<GM 20:55> No.
<PS 20:56> Damn. I should have shot that guy,
<GM 20:56> Meybbe ;)
<PS 20:57> Now what?
<GM 20:57> Want to keep going?
<PS 20:57> Honestly, not really.
<PS 20:57> Not alone.
<GM 20:58> Okay.
<GM 20:58> Understandable
<GM 20:58> We can pick up next time @ Mansion Inn.
<GM 20:58> No encounters btwn here and there.
<PS 20:59> OK. We didn't get much done though.
<GM 20:59> That's fine. A lot might not always happen.
<GM 20:59> Just think about how your character would react to this
<PS 20:59> OK
<PS 21:00> You'll email us with the time?
<PS 21:00> I did the doodle thing.
<GM 21:00> Yeah I will confirm.
<GM 21:00> Tahnks for playing
<PS 21:01> Thanks. See you then.
