Session Start: Fri Jul 11 20:23:16 2014 Session Ident: #mc5 03[20:23] * Now talking in #mc5 03[20:23] * Topic is 'MC5 Channel' 03[20:23] * Set by Brett on Fri May 18 19:58:44 03[20:26] * Brett (samurai@c-71-201-3-240.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #mc5 03[20:26] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett 03[20:36] * Dreol (Dreol@173-28-155-199.client.mchsi.com) has joined #mc5 03[20:36] * Dreol is now known as Nigel [20:36] I apparently really injured my knee. 03[20:37] * Wingdance is now known as Shiho [20:37] <@Brett> That's not a good prize. [20:38] No [20:38] I don't know how I did it. [20:39] It hurts when I put any weight on it, or bend it or pretty much do anything with it but lay down or sit down without moving. [20:39] I think I must have twisted it or something. [20:40] I hope you didn't tear anyhting 03[20:40] * WeightofTaki is now known as Gordo [20:41] <@Brett> Has we log? [20:42] <@Brett> I barely remember what we did last time, I had a longass day at work, I got a crown put in after, and I have to get up early for a three hour drive tomorrow. But everyone's here, so let's get this show a rollin' [20:43] <@Brett> And I need a reminder on what, if anything, your plan is and how you intend to carry it out. 01[20:44] Right, one sec... [20:44] <@Brett> Currently trying to eat spaghetti-os and not wanting to eat anything. 03[20:45] * Dicesuke (PircBot@ip68-13-167-161.om.om.cox.net) has joined #mc5 [20:45] Am back. [20:46] Brett: Montana wanted to get any info he could from Tilda, but you were too tired. It's fine to just give me whatever she would in an OOC sort of way, because I think we want to get moving, yeah? 01[20:46] 080 and 080a [20:46] Gryph: I hope so, too... I don't even remember hurting it. [20:46] I'm just old. x.x 01[20:46] are up, although not cut [20:46] <@Brett> Thanks [20:49] <@Brett> So.... Plan? 01[20:50] Okay, so we know we're trying to get a ring off his finger. [20:50] That's extremely difficult. 01[20:50] Given that, what we want to do is hit him when he is minimally guarded, preferably asleep, and take his ring. And then leave him alone with Shiho if she wants. [20:51] Yup, asleep sounds good. 01[20:51] Alternately, put him to sleep. [20:51] Or some other way to incapacitate him. 01[20:51] Also, we know that the psychic for the other team is in town, so we don't have the luxury of much more time. [20:51] Hey Brett, any chance Montana can pick up knock out gas or something? 01[20:51] Since the psychic can conceptually brute force him the second he's within its psychic range [20:51] Yup. [20:52] We also know that there are duel security rooms in the government section of the tower. [20:52] <@Brett> Possibly! Hang on a sec 01[20:53] As such, I would say that they make the play that night, either right after or a good chunk before shift change, depending on whether we want a lot of time, or the tiredest possible guards. Two security rooms implies that Montana and Sonia should each try and disable one at the same time, otherwise one might notice the other, given that they're the ones with stealth. 01[20:53] And the ability to get upstairs without using the elevators. 01[20:53] Unless Nigel can take them down electronically. [20:53] <@Brett> Monty, gimme an underworld tracking roll 01[20:53] Because that'd be a lot easier. 01[20:54] Either way, the rest of the team is ready to go up the elevator the second either Monty and Sonia fail to clear both rooms, or when they succeed. 01[20:54] I am largely ignoring what Nigel can do because I don't know. Nigel, any ideas? 01[20:55] Anyone disagree? [20:55] omg [20:55] Why is it underworld tracking [20:55] why is it always underworld tracking [20:55] <@Brett> As opposed to? [20:55] Street sense. [20:56] Which is what I *actually* have, since I thought underworld tracking was literal tracking. [20:56] <@Brett> I guess street sense could work too [20:56] Sweet. [20:57] <@Brett> But street sense seems more like discerning activities and organizations, not finding a specific person [20:57] But I don't *have* a specific person to find. I need to find out who that person is. [20:57] I thought that was street sense, too. [20:58] <@Brett> I would think street sense would be more of finding out which Triad controls the block you're on, and such [20:59] I don't really want to argue about it. Just give me a list some time as to what they each actually cover, and if it's okay, let me change points accordingly? In the meantime, what am I rolling for real? [21:00] <@Brett> Yes, you are. [21:00] <@Brett> Either skill is fine [21:01] Uh, I am what? What? 01[21:01] roll street sense [21:01] 2d6+6 06[21:01] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 9 for a result of 15. 01[21:01] sick roll brohan [21:01] It is a thing. [21:02] <@Brett> Monty is able to acquire some sleep gas from a Triad for a modest price. [21:02] Thanks, triad! [21:02] <@Brett> Anyhow, are we all set? 06[21:03] * Montana thumbs ups. [21:03] Mecha: Plan sounds good! [21:03] Remind me again what Nigel, Sonia, and I are doing? 01[21:05] Actually, one question: Remind me if we can go up to the relevant floors while being guarded instead? 01[21:05] Then we can at least put Nigel, Shiho, and Gordo closer to the right floor, rather than at the bottom of the tower. [21:06] <@Brett> What do you mean by guarded? 01[21:06] Like, the elevators go up to the government floors, right? 01[21:06] So they can get up there, they're just under surveillance with active guards around. [21:06] Can we get up there by some legetimate means and then wait for the security to go away as it were. 01[21:06] Right. [21:08] <@Brett> The lower elevators go to the gov't floors, but not the resident floors. There's other elevators that go up to those from the middle. [21:09] <@Brett> And if you're going at night, no, you can't get up there by legitimate means. [21:09] Okay, so are we planning to gas him in his office or his bedroom? 01[21:10] I'm fine with either. Office is probably better if we can manage it since it works better with shift change. [21:11] <@Brett> The offices close at 5:00, and the mall at 8:00. [21:13] Office is probably better, if we can manage it, yeah. 01[21:13] yep [21:13] <@Brett> Hokay, can we start? :P 01[21:15] sounds like a plan to me! [21:16] Sure! [21:16] <@Brett> [Date: Monday, April 25th. Time: 1:00 am. Location: Outside Wan Kuai Tower.] [21:17] (I see we're going after his bedroom.) [21:17] (It seems so! This is fine.) 01[21:18] (given our time constraints, i can't blame it) [21:18] <@Brett> [Having finished your preparations, you're finally ready to infiltrate the government level and get the One Ring (or at least, the one ring you need) from Charles Liu. Also Montana got sleep gas from somewhere.] 01[21:18] (yesterday was sunday at 4 PM) [21:18] <@Brett> [Start!] [21:18] <@Brett> ( If you want a different time, that's fine. ) [21:18] <@Brett> ( I just assumed 1:00 would be good ) [21:18] (No, no. We can work with this.) [21:19] (Yeah, don't sweat it. ^^) [21:22] (although, is he still going to be working at 1 am? Shouldn't we be infiltrating the residential section? (Although setting Shiho up for an awesome "Good morning Mr. Bond." type moment would be awesome.)) [21:23] (Yeah, going for his bedroom is smart when it comes to that.) [21:26] <@Brett> ( Feel free to do stuff :| ) [21:27] (Oh, you hit start!) 01[21:27] (Let's go up top!) [21:27] <@Brett> ( Yes :| ) 06[21:28] * Montana has sleep gas, yes; it's in a small cannister that and he's tucked somewhere in that suit of his. He glances over the others, then starts making his way to one of the service entrances as they tend to be less sealed or guarded than the main doors to places. Even malls. [21:28] (Maybe he leaves the ring in a safe at his office or something) 01[21:29] (I guess SOMEONE doesn't have to go in through the high road.) 01[21:29] (MUST BE NICE.) 06[21:29] * Shiho has been looking more and more nervous the closer it gets to operation start. In fact, she looks like she wouldn't mind being precisely on the other side of the world right this second. [21:29] (Although, if he has it on him, I feel like breaking into his house should always have been the plan. It has to be way less secure) 01[21:29] (His house is the top levels of the tower.) 06[21:30] * Sonia is way up high on the tower, climbing a sheer buildingface. She has to start first if Montana and her are going to get there at the same time! Doot-dee-doot, climb climb climb. 06[21:33] * Gordo , on the other other hand gets to just take an elevater up to the residential levels with Nigel. [21:33] <@Brett> [This is true! But first you need to get into the building.] [21:33] <@Brett> ( also Sonia, gimme a climbing roll ) 01[21:34] (I have the wall crawling special movement, but sure!) 06[21:34] * Nigel doesn't really look all that nervous. He's done a lot of breaking into places to steal back relics. It was kind of his job for a while. He is idly poking at his phone to look at the building plans one last time before they start this thing. 01[21:34] 2d6+8 06[21:34] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Sonia and gets a natural 6 for a result of 14. [21:34] <@Brett> ( Oh. Nevermind then. ) [21:35] <@Brett> [It's a well designed building!] [21:37] <@Brett> ( I'm confused, are Monty and Sonia going in and leaving the others behind? ) [21:37] (I am not sure what we are supposed to be doing. It's been so long. x.x) 01[21:37] (We have to hit the security rooms first, or else everyone will get seen where they shouldn't be.) 01[21:37] (We don't have a technopath or an illusionist.) [21:38] (Okay. So are we all with Montana, then? Montana is still on the ground floor, right?) [21:38] (Monty Sonia, and Shiho are breaking into the top floors to hit the security rooms, Gordo and Nigel will be meeting them on the residential levels in case anything goes wrong.) [21:38] (Right... so are we all going in the service entrance and then Gordo and Nigel head up to the residential levels and everyone else keeps going?) [21:39] (I thought that was the plan. ^^;) [21:40] (That sounds fine. So, no. We are all with Montana, except for Sonia) 01[21:40] (yep) [21:40] (Yes. And the Montana will move ahead at a certain point to hit security with Sonia.) [21:41] (And then others can follow up after the all clear.) [21:41] (s/the/then) [21:42] <@Brett> ( Hokay then ) [21:42] <@Brett> [Montana reaches a servant door. Where all the mall butlers go, I guess. It's locked! 06[21:43] * Montana goes about with the unlocking! Also it's probably a service door, not a servant door. But maybe it *is* a servant door. Hm. [21:43] 2d6+10 06[21:43] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 11 for a result of 21. [21:44] <@Brett> [Could be! Either way, Monty gets it open.] [21:44] (the wikipedia entry for unlocking doors has a picture of that door after Monty's done with it.) [21:44] <@Brett> ( Monty is the master of unlocking things. ) [21:45] (He is! It's almost like he does it for a living! 06[21:47] * Montana slips in quietly, trusting the others to follow. He moves forward quietly and reasonably quickly, taking the safest route for non-sneakies. 06[21:49] * Gordo follows and isn't very sneaky, but fortunatly he's got Monty to make a path. [21:49] <@Brett> [Monty gets inside! The mall sure is quiet this time of night. It's a much different atmosphere when it's completely empty. Well, almost completely. There's 4 guys on patrol: Two on the ground level and one on each upper floor.] 06[21:51] * Nigel follows and attempts some level of stealth, but is also not terribly good at it. He keeps an eye out and follows Montana. 06[21:53] * Shiho follows along and tries to be stealthy, completely at odds with her actual job of being visible and looking menacing. 06[21:53] * Montana moves at the best moment he can track around ground level's patrol, moving for the stairs and then the residential elevator. [21:54] <@Brett> [You sneak towards the elevator! Gimme a stealth roll.] [21:55] (Specialty?) [21:55] <@Brett> ( Camoflague ) [21:55] 2d6+6 06[21:55] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. [21:55] 2d6+9 06[21:55] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+9 for Montana and gets a natural 8 for a result of 17. [21:55] 2d6+7 06[21:55] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 10 for a result of 17. [21:56] 2d6+4 06[21:56] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 11. [21:57] <@Brett> [Sneaky time! Though there's a moment where Nigel is nearly caught, but Monty manages to stop him before he alerts a guard. And then they're at the elevator!] 06[21:59] * Montana uses it! He's got to get to the floor with the security rooms. [22:01] <@Brett> [You get on the elevator. It plays cheesy elevator music. Meanwhile Sonia climbs up the side of the building.] 06[22:01] * Sonia doesn't have to listen to the music. Point: Sonia. 06[22:02] * Nigel presses the button for the residential floors. 01[22:03] (Imma gonna climb until I reach the right floor, and then I'm gonna use a power fluxed up 'break the glass with an ultrasonic' so I can go in) 06[22:03] * Montana comms in, ~On elevator one. How's it goin' out there?~ 06[22:03] * Gordo idly wonders why smooth jaz even exists. [22:03] (Sonia has to hear music during comms. Only half a point.) 01[22:05] (damn) [22:05] <@Brett> [The elevator arrives at the government floors, since as mentioned, the residental elevators are located in the mid section. Fortunately, they're not too far from where the elevator lets you out! Unfortunately, there's a camera and a desk with a security guard in between you and them.] 06[22:06] * Sonia comms back, ~Pretty city. Wish you were here.~ When she gets to the appropriate floor, she goes for the break-in. [22:07] <@Brett> [Sonia gets to the right floor. Unfortunately, it looks like someone else has gotten here first. There's a big hole cut out of one of the windows] 06[22:08] * Sonia frowns and swings through, landing catlike on the ground as she tries to detect anyone sonically. ~Suddenly got ugly. I ain't the first person to come in through the window.~ 01[22:08] ~Cut out, so at least a little stealthy.~ 06[22:09] * Montana looks up, wondering why it can't go up fast enough. ~Fuck. Should we skip it and go straight for the target?~ [22:10] <@Brett> [Monty realizes that the elevator is up as far as it's going. See above :P] 06[22:11] * Sonia moves forward carefully to the first security room. ~Can't, they haven't set off any alarms yet.~ [22:11] (Oh, so it is!) [22:12] <@Brett> [Sonia reaches the room! The door's shut tight.] 06[22:13] * Montana steps out and gestures for the others to wait before moving to circumvent the camera and sneak behind the desk guard, intent on knocking him or her out. 06[22:13] * Gordo nods and steps to one side. 06[22:14] * Sonia makes a burglary roll! It will go well with jam. 01[22:14] (Imma gonna get in dere.) 06[22:14] * Shiho waits and tries to keep her breathing even and quiet. [22:14] <@Brett> [This particular guard is female, just for variety's sake. Monty, gimme a stealth roll, followed by a knock-person-out roll.] [22:15] 2d6+10 06[22:15] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 15. [22:16] <@Brett> [Monty sneaks up behind the guard. Turns out she's messing around on her cell phone anyhow.] [22:16] (If someone is totally unaware, btw, they don't get defenses, do they? Or is there a penalty?) [22:16] 2d6+6 06[22:16] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. [22:16] <@Brett> ( Mmm, let me check ) [22:18] <@Brett> ( Not finding it ) [22:19] (It'd be in the errta pages. Defense modifiers is one of the messed up tables.) [22:19] <@Brett> ( Ah ) [22:20] <@Brett> ( Hokay then. ) [22:20] (Page 154) [22:20] <@Brett> [Montana ends up knocking her out. Now she can't reply to Facebook.] [22:21] (her name is heather!) [22:22] <@Brett> ( Could be :o ) [22:22] <@Brett> ( Meanwhile, did Sonia roll? ) 06[22:23] * Montana keeps moving, now heading for the government floor. Got to get to the security room. 01[22:23] (Just had to be approved!) [22:23] <@Brett> ( There are too many ways to spell Sonia ) 01[22:23] (nope, only the one) 01[22:23] 2d6+7 06[22:23] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 4 for a result of 11. 01[22:23] (er, actually +8) 02[22:26] * @Brett (samurai@c-71-201-3-240.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) 01[22:27] (connection) [22:27] (awk) 03[22:27] * Brett (samurai@c-71-201-3-240.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #mc5 03[22:27] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett [22:27] <@Brett> ( So then my computer crashed ) [22:28] (Whups) [22:28] (That did happen!) [22:30] (That is unfortunate) [22:32] <@Brett> [Monty et. all don't have to go to the government floor. They're already there. The government's in the middle. It's the residential that's at the top.] [22:33] <@Brett> [Meanwhile, Sonia breaks into the room! In a process considerably louder than she'd intended. Hm. [22:33] <@Brett> ] 01[22:33] (unfortunate) [22:33] (Ah right! Nix what I did.) [22:34] (Oh, so we wait by the elevators while Monty continues deeper, takes out security and then we go up together.) 01[22:34] (so who and/or what is in there for me to respond to) 06[22:34] * Montana doubles back to get the others, waving for them to follow him again, and leads them around the gaze of the camera on the way to the residential elevators. [22:34] (Yup! He'll head on over to security once he gets you to the residential elevators.) [22:35] <@Brett> [Sonia hears footsteps headed her way. She also sees the inside of the security room. There's a guard in a chair, asleep, probably not by his own choice since she likely would have woken him up. And there's a funy device attached to one of the computers, which a mechanics roll might help her identify.] [22:36] <@Brett> [Monty leads the rest of you to the residential elevators! Woot!] 06[22:37] * Montana is good at this game! He thumbs ups at them and comms, ~Heading to security room 2,~ to Sonia before he does exactly that. 01[22:37] 2d6+7 06[22:37] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. 01[22:37] (that's my mechanics) 01[22:38] (and on hearing the footsteps, do I get sonics of what's footstepping them?) [22:38] <@Brett> ( shoes. ) [22:38] <@Brett> [Monty heads to the security room! Like Sonia, he's faced with a locked door!] 06[22:39] * Montana unlocks the door! [22:39] 2d6+10 06[22:39] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 17. 06[22:41] * Sonia frowns, comming quickly, ~Someone's already got the cameras on loop from mine, and the guard is out,~ before she starts heading towards the residential area straight away. 01[22:41] (Ideally away from the footsteps?) 06[22:41] * Montana doesn't respond, as the same is not necessarily true in his case. [22:42] <@Brett> [Monty unlocks the door!] 01[22:42] (Oh, actually, I need to hide and see who's coming first.) 01[22:42] (Based on other info._) [22:43] <@Brett> ( Gimme a hidin' roll! ) 06[22:43] * Montana opens the door - quietly, okay - and looks in. 01[22:44] 2d6+6 06[22:44] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. 01[22:44] (also shielding myself sonically so I don't make noise) [22:44] <@Brett> [Sonia hides behind a box. Why is it there? I dunno.] 01[22:45] (THE ORANGE) [22:45] <@Brett> [Monty sees a guard monitoring cameras!] [22:47] <@Brett> [Meanwhile, a guard steps into the security room Sonia's in. He hesitates for a minute, staring at the scene, then starts reaching for his radio.] 06[22:49] * Sonia wraps the guard in the silence bubble instead, suppressing all sound as she steps up to knock him out in the face. 06[22:49] * Montana silently closes the door behind him, then presses a button on one of the sleep gas cannisters to release before setting it as close to the guard as he dares. [22:50] <@Brett> [The guard seems surprised when his radio doesn't work. Then he looks up at Sonia wide-eyed.] [22:50] <@Brett> ( Gimme an attack roll!] ) 01[22:50] 2d6+9 06[22:50] * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+9 for Sonia and gets a natural 8 for a result of 17. 01[22:50] (full attack) [22:50] <@Brett> [Meanwhile, Monty's guard just collapses out cold.] [22:51] <@Brett> [And Sonia decks that guy in the face. He's out.] 06[22:51] * Montana comms, ~Security room 2 down.~ He moves for the residential elevators. 06[22:52] * Sonia drops the silence field, picking up the radio. You never know when you'll need the enemy radio! She pushes the guy into the room and closes the door behind herself, before comming, ~Everyone be ready for an unknown group breakin' in now too.~ 01[22:52] ~Let's get to the ring.~ [22:54] <@Brett> [And so you head to the Residential Section. to be continued!] [22:54] <@Brett> Whoof that was rough. 01[22:54] You okay? [22:55] <@Brett> Not really. Aformentioned tiredness and aching teeth taking their toll [22:55] Sorry to hear it. :/ [22:56] Blargh. [22:56] Thanks for running, though. [22:56] Go lay down and get rest! [22:56] Thanks for running! [22:56] Very much appreciated. :) And we finally got moving again! [22:57] <@Brett> Yeah. Sorry it wasn't much of a session for most of you, but at least next week we're poised for action [22:57] Feel better! [22:58] <@Brett> Hokay bed time. Night [22:58] <@Brett> !leave 03[22:58] * Dicesuke (PircBot@ip68-13-167-161.om.om.cox.net) has left #mc5 02[22:58] * @Brett (samurai@c-71-201-3-240.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ) 06[22:59] * Gordo AFKs to hide from whiny cats. 01[23:05] i have the best way to hide from whiny cats 01[23:05] not having cats 01[23:05] undefeateable logic 03[23:56] * Shiho (Wingdance@cpe-98-14-209-33.nyc.res.rr.com) has left #mc5 02[23:57] * Montana (ardweden@173-28-155-199.client.mchsi.com) Quit (Quit: ) Session Close: Sat Jul 12 00:00:00 2014
