"Works for me if things pan out Hoss." Duke states simply and checks his gear and the new cypher he found. "Also we should probably vamoose since we've made a 'little noise' round here..." he adds.

Does this mean we get to make Ardeyn recursion characters now? WOOT!

I know, right? Party of me would love just to run an Ardeyn-only game. So much cool.

OOC:
Not sure if that hits or not.
The first shot misses... Two more Speed Defense rolls please.
OOC:
Sorry for the absence. Life is being stupid. I know we pushed past this moment but I'll make my two defense rolls just to see if I got some damage.

OOC:
So are we going to do the translation in this thread then move to the new one, or how would we like to do it?

The fat man has given you some information. Assuming you all take a moment to gather yourselves and compare notes, are you going to take him up on his offer to translate?

Discuss.

OOC:
I feel like we should get there in a hurry and try and grab this thing before someone else grabs it. However, I could also use that last rest. But, 10 hours is a long time to let it lie there...
May 17, 2018 12:50 pm
OOC:
Snatch and grab then lay low? I'm under the impression we're running hot, going in blind, and likely breaking protocol.
May 17, 2018 1:50 pm
OOC:
I think we are all probably running a little low on steam, but yes a quick snatch and grab before the device walks, then maybe we stay in Ardeyn and recover. Now on to the fat man (whose name we should probably ask). Two questions:
A-why should we trust him at all?
B-If we do accept his help to translate to Ardeyn, what do we do with him after? Hope a Turask eats him? Or do we take him back to HQ with us and put him on ice?
May 18, 2018 3:18 am
OOC:
I say we let him go. We have bigger fish to fry and, we're not cops. Also, that was one of his stipulations to help us translate.
Micah sticks his hand out, "The name's Micah. What's yours?" After shaking, he glances at the rest of his crew and then asks, "So, what's in this all for you? What do you get out of your nefarious plans?"

The fat man is pleased to be so addressed. "Domic Salish," he replies. "I'm a courier of extraordinary rarity. I'm highly paid for my services, and for access. I'm sure that you and I could have an extraordinarily productive friendship. You want to go to Ardeyn," (pronounced Ar-dunn), "I'll take you there. Then we can talk the future, yes?"
May 18, 2018 12:18 pm
"So he's a black bagger that got caught and knows he's screwed the pooch. I think he's just looking for an exit strategy to law low and lick his wounds..." Duke comments, "To me you're on the hook till we're square Bubba, double cross is kinda what I'm expecting you to do from the get go to save your own hide." he explains bluntly with a shrug.
May 18, 2018 12:47 pm
"Why don't we get to translating, yes? This might be a little strange, but first we need to settle down a bit, and concentrate on Ardeyn. Feel it, the impossibly large Citadel Hazzurium at the top of the Path of the Dead, the seven moons, the Strange flickering on the Borderlands, picture it in your minds' eyes..."

In his way, Domic Salish directs you in the translating, but let's have one of the paradoxes make the actual roll. After that, well move to a new thread for scene 3.
May 18, 2018 2:23 pm
Duke squats and mutters since he hasn't even had time to take a leak today due to how busy they have been.

Remnant sent a note to Qralloq
He clears his mind and tries to focus.

OOC:
I doubt I would be able to beat that roll, so that's all on Duke. So where do you want us to post our Ardeyn focuses?
May 18, 2018 4:18 pm
Duke's leadership during the translation speeds the transition, reducing the acclimation time to zero, and all tasks relating to your new foci will have difficulty reduced by one step for an hour.
OOC:
Discuss your new foci in the Out of Character thread. A new thread will open up for scene 3 shortly, but let's get the Ardeyn foci hammered down before play resumes.
