Y'know, I really gotta stop creating these weekend cliffhangers. :P

LOL ... Sorry about that. Was really hoping to post today. It's been a ridiculously busy weekend (that included me 'cresting the hill' so to speak) and now my Internet isn't working and trying to figure out rolls and posting from my phone doesn't sound fun or efficient at all so I will post first thing tomorrow.

I was thinking it might be useful to set up a chat channel in Discord we could use, particularly for in-character dialog between characters. Like in this case, it might be quicker to handle a conversation between Dozer and Beatrice and then transcribe that into a single post when completed.

Great, another thing I gotta sign up and think of a password for. :P

I also find Google Docs useful for the same thing. If you share a word document then everyone invited can edit as they are able.

Still don't have a Google account. I know, I know, I'm being really stubborn, but I've been avoiding most social media for years now. :P

*Sigh* I'll get a Discord account. Just give me a bit.

Oh, and I shouted for a medic just in case there's a doc or nurse on the train. Non of our characters have Medical, so if we want to stabilize any bleeding suspects that's the only thing that's going to help.

I applaud the thought and if you really want to convince a passenger or at least make stabilizing the downed suspects a priority you can send a roll. They're standard NPCs so per the rules as written it's implied that when they fail a save they are dead/dying. Though your decision to use rubber bullets will certainly not go unnoticed ... I figure that will give the FBI a lot of people to question about the Russian mafia and their operations.

And about the Discord account. Don't feel like you have to download something like that. I believe Whitmore was just suggesting it as an option. Is there a chat program that you do use? Or document share program? Maybe there is a common program that we all have?

Actually *pushes glasses again* there is a rule that specifies that the last type of damage that causes the failed save is important. To quote:
Quote:
Page 332, under "NPC Damage Saves":

When an NPC's Damage Save fails, he suffers one of the following effects, as appropriate.

- If the NPC's most recent injury inflicted subdual or stress damage, he falls unconscious, waking up at a point determined by the GC.

- If the NPC's most recent injury inflicted lethal damage, he dies.
So those guys I shot could literally wake back up at any moment (and why I was making sure to tell Whitmore to clarify what damage he did). I also thought the "bleeding out" bit was you being nice and giving us a chance to save the others.

I'm going to have to get back to you about that, been a while since I deep dived this computer.

Right, so I do have Skype, but I don't think I have any money put into it. Heck, I don't even have anything beyond the basic word processor. I'm, like, the digital equivalent of a guy who only has the bare essentials of a house, with a bunch of pictures strewn about that I got out of free bins, and this MASSIVE collection of games to go with my SUPER AWESOME GAMING SYSTEM that occasionally glitches out on me because I attempted self maintenance on it a little while ago.

Looking at Discord, it doesn't look like I need to download anything, because it's giving me the option to open on the browser. Just need to think up another password. :P

LOL ... good point and a lesson I guess that I need to choose my words carefully. I was just trying to convey the image of a rapidly spreading pool of blood indicating the suspects demise :-P

Right, simple account claim. Since this is a private forum, my account is RusVal#4887 on Discord.

Feel free to let me know what rolls I might need to make, and I'll edit them in.

I did set up a Discord server we can try.

To join, just go to the following URL: https://discord.gg/xYRKT3

Oi, we need to figure out a time for Discording. :P

Alright, just a word of warning beforehand, once Dozer is by himself with Beatrice, he's going to attempt an Identify Friend Foe code phrase. While Beatrice might not have been warned beforehand that I would be there, would she at least know that much? Or will Whitmore require rolling a check for it?
May 16, 2019 8:24 pm
Since Beatrice wasn't notified that there would be help both of you will need to make an Sense Motive/Innuendo check against DC 15. Dozer will need to beat the DC to convey the message, Beatrice will need to beat the DC to understand. If Dozer fails but Beatrice is successful she knows a message was conveyed but not what it means. If Dozer is successful and Beatrice fails, she does not realize a message was conveyed.

Alternatively she and/or Dozer may make an opposed Sense Motive/Detect Lie check to glean Allegiance and roleplay from there as well.
May 16, 2019 8:57 pm
Well :P:P:P, that's probably going to go GREAT.
May 16, 2019 10:03 pm
Pfffffthahahaha. Yep, going to be terrific.

Edit - I'm also getting the feeling that the conversation he had with Jazz might have been out of character. Jazz probably had to speak slowly, with small words, while streaming flashy pictures over the phone for Dozer to understand what he was saying. :P

Oh, and just because the cosmos has decided to gift me with this joke:
