Internal Affairs

Some quick research shows that the captain's license are handled by the coast guard. That'd probably put it in the ballpark of a federally issued badge (DC 21-30) but looking at the actual license, they seem to be fairly simple items so I would suspect it would be near the lower end of the DC range.



I suspect my character would have a passing idea what they look like already since I have the Drive focus for Standard Water Vehicles though what they look like can be found on a simple google search so studying one would also be doable.

I have a forgery kit I and I would have a +9 on the check (+8 Falsify with a +1 synergy from Bureaucracy).

Edit: Just adding the roll to convert a Reserve Common Pick into spending cash.
Rolled a 21 x $25 = $525.

Quick post to nudge us along, or in the least hoping not to stall. Even dropped a 'maybe' helpful discussion point just to keep your creative juices flowing -- plus it kind of fits Nik's background.

All - Sounds like you all are in agreement ... at least as far as renting a boat and doing some recon.

I'll go ahead and agree with Bill and that the captain's license will require a DC 21 to replicate. To negate some of the penalties I would agree that Stephen can study for 3 hours to get 'strong knowledge'. Which means the forgery could potentially take 12 hours to produce.

Timing - I'm going to say that the team rode around with the thug for an hour so we'll say the 'clock' started at 11:00AM and the Low Profile Infil approach takes 2 days per conflict round so I'm going to say that is (2) 24 hour periods. So there is time for Stephen to forge the license and the rest of the team can continue whatever prep they want to. You could recon the next day and implement the plan that evening/night (or even early morning if you wanted too).

I rolled in Discord for converting a reserve common item into cash and I got a 21 for $525. That should give us enough to rent a boat for our purposes.

I am going to get started on the forged captain's license. I have the Forgery Kit I and I have a +9 with the synergy. Since it is a secret check, I did not make the roll here.

I do want to make a Knowledge check to see if Stephen is already familiar with the licenses to be forged. I may be able to shave off 3 hours if I can roll well enough. My Knowledge bonus is usually plus 5 but Stephen does have "Yachting" as an interest which should be good for an additional +1.

Nope, DC is 21-30 so the 19 isn't going to cut it.

It seems settled at least that Mykola will begin crafting a captain's license.

Thundermark and RusVal - You can continue to brainstorm in the meantime or indicate what other preparation or activities you might do. It could take as much as a day (24 hours) for Mykola to finish the forgery (2x the check result as he did not make his Knowledge check. If you don't have any other activities you want to take care of we can jump forward in time and begin at the boat rental.

All - I work in the construction business so I know what is typical but I'll admit I cannot be certain this is how Key Biscayne, FL operates but most municipalities will allow most anyone to view plans they have on file while in the office. If you want a copy given to you, you will need a signed release form (which all municipalities seem to have their own form but the common denominator is that they need to be notarized). To seem more friendly and less intimidating, I am assuming that just Sheridan and Nayda will be going in (and the dog to keep the working animal facade up)?

If you want to view the plans in the office there will be no roll required. You can roleplay whatever pitch you want to view the plans.

If you want a copy of the plans or find out if there have been any alterations/renovations made that will require a bribe or forged release form (or some other way?).

RusVal/Thundermark - As anyone can view plans that are on file as long as they remain in the office I am not going to require a roll unless you completely say something off putting or unbelievable. Keep in mind that if you are unsure of what you can/cannot ask for you always have the option of making a Knowledge check to see what your character may know on the subject that perhaps you as the player may not. I am around this weekend (for once) so I will be able to answer questions or post a reply if you post.

Just a small note, Dozer usually signs 'William' as himself, but as Sheridan he signs 'Bill'. Helps obscure the handwriting.

As stated above ... the table may not leave the building. But you can certainly take pics of the screen on either of your phones.
