Duvors

"Young man, I perfectly understand that you feel guilty about this and that you think this is your fault. Quite frankly, it is. But the people who run this place are more at fault than you. They chose to be who they are while you made a mistake and are being ground up in their gears." Enson sighed. "Do you really think your friend will appreciate hearing that you died while tying to rescue him? your mother? your uncle? I presume you care about them." Enson will use Insight in an attempt to make future persuasion checks easier. Enson shook his head. "Listen, if you insist on going with us can you at least carry things when asked? I assume you do want to be somewhat helpful" "You're welcome, though I must admit that this isn't really our area of expertise." Enson equips the Plasma Splicer. Enson sidled over to the door that Jonk had found. "So," he said quietly, "are we sneaking in, or..." he drew out the Spider Bomb, "well, not?"

"Really? What, exactly, can you do to help? Personally I think your family would prefer it if you didn't die down here. You've caused them enough distress already." As he spoke, Enson leant over the broken robot and began to fiddle with it, trying to use the Exo-Suit to modify it. Enson will equip the utility belt and assist Aysu with Engineering. He will also attempt to incorporate the Exo-Suit to make the task easier. "It doesn't matter if it's his fault or not. We can't reliably keep him safe while he's with us, and if he dies then we have failed even if we save his friend. Which, to be clear, I intend to do no matter what happens."

"We're only two rooms away from where we came in, I'm surprised we found you here." Enson glowered at the imprudent young turnip before him. "As for your friend, you can see for yourself he's not here. Why are you here anyway? You hired us, the experts, to do this job for you. Why do you seem to think your presence is required? You'd do much better by waiting outside out of our way." Enson will inspect the broken robot and the other cabinet.

Having finally retuned from Ireland, I'll be able to conduct a post mortem of M9 sometime soon. @Endgame, @Yzalirk, feel free to correct your character's stats with the appropriate amount of credits.

Just one. The first two entries on the list mention the effects of two of the stimuli without one of the others. Does this refer to both of the listed stimuli being active, of does it apply even when only one is active?

Enson, knowing better than to fiddle with a medical device he doesn’t understand, will examine the display cabinets and papers to the left of the device.

“A smart mouth will do you no favors. You wouldn’t happen to know how to bring him out of it, would you?” Enson will examine the device. “No, have you?”

Enson muttered something inaudible to himself as he saw Bertram sleeping like one who hasn’t been kidnapped. Striding across the room, he reached out and slapped him. “Wake up you blithering fool!”

“I think we’ve done all we can here. You’re right, we should be going.” Enson will equip the Plasma Splicer, drop the crude machete, and pick up Felthorn. Having done this, he will attempt to sneak into the laboratory.

Enson will attempt to open the display cases for the two swords without attracting attention.

Enson will examine the display cases.

Enson will surreptitiously check behind the doors.

Pardon?

OoC: I only have access to my phone right now, so I can’t really assess everyone’s inventory. I’d rather you do it.

OoC: Hello,I’m alive. Re. points, spend 1 on explosives.

@Viper Knight, the objects in your inventory are not legitimate choices for starting equipment. Please read the character creation rules and pick one of the available starting kits. If you don't, you will not be able to participate in missions due to noncompliance with the rules. I would also recommend reading the section on spending CP and use your starting points to increase your stats accordingly.

In the event that I am unable to post, @Scubacarrot will take control of my character. At the end of the battle, Enson will spend 2 CP to increase Smarts, pick up Explosives, and retrieve the Spider Bomb from Billeck.

Billeck will rally Enson. Enson will move to B4 and attack.

You could move to E2 and attack, you have an even chance of hitting at this point.

That action is also invalid. You can only rally adjacent allies, and by your turn Jonk will be in E1.

Are you sure about that move action? Moving to A4 would require at least 6 velocity.

Initiative Jonk Billeck Enson Aysu Wollipog Billeck will move to D2 and rally Enson. Enson will move to C2 and attack.

And that's a wrap! I'm afraid it'll probably be a while before I make any attempt at a post mortem (though there's still time to put the lie to that) but for what it's worth I think you both did a great job.

Arno hands both of you the equipment you requested. "Again, thanks. We'd almost given up on seein' Greg again. We're glad y' were able t' get th' job done." Retuning to the front of the building, you see Szizekh waiting for you. Upon seeing you, he nods and mimes opening a door, holding it open for you. You notice the digital clock on the screen by the door reads 01:30 - everything that's happened to you has taken place in a single night. "After you, gentlemen." And with that, you head out into the city to fulfill the various commitments you've made. Still, there are unanswered questions: where is Avery Mann? what happened to Flatfoot Thompson? did Greg kill those cultists? what was the point of all this? With these questions swirling about your brain, you make your way onto the streets of Ebria.

MM note: @Endgame, @Yzalirk, thank you for playing through this chaotic mess. I hope you enjoyed yourselves as I did. ~~~ Somewhere far away - The light from the window is the blue-grey of rain-laden clouds in the afternoon, illuminating a dusty attic filled with various bric-a-brac - old furniture, crates, bottles, and barrels of all sorts. In a green armchair an indistinct figure sits, so still that they can only be a mannequin - or dead. As the first drops of rain begin to fall on the window, there is the sound of a door opening and footsteps on floorboards - someone has entered the attic. There is a moment of silence, the air heavy with ozone and intent. "Well." the still figure suddenly says, "Have. You. Dealt. With. The. In. Ves. Ti. Ga. Tor." It speaks in a jerky, forced fashion, hammering out each syllable like blows against a solid surface. The person who entered the room makes a banal answer in the affirmative. "Good. Then. They. Are. No. Lon. Ger. Tail. Ling. You." Another affirmative answer. The entrant waits for a moment as if to receive further instructions. Finding none, they make as if to leave. "Did. It. Have. To. Be. So. Dra. Ma. Tic." The other person starts to say something in their defense. "Si. Lence. You. Drew. To. Much. At. Ten. Tion. To. Your. Self. It. Is. A. Mir. A. Cle. The. Trail. Went. Cold. Leave." The other person bows and backs out of the room. There is a quiet in the room, the only sound being the pattering of rain on the roof. "Mo. Ron."
