Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
I have updated Milo's character box with the 600 spent XP.
@Banana: In short, Drimmle either needs to be appeased and turned into a guaranteed ally, or taken care of quickly and as clandestinely as possible.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
I was looking for leverage on the named players in the case, primarily Drimmle, but also the Rogue Trader, who might be untouchable, but the folks downstream from him most likely are not.

Will resolve awareness rolls in IC thread.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Hound is bringing his knife and his new stub automatic, both of which should be easily concealable under his flak cloak and Guilder robes.
Awareness test (in case it still matters) (1d100)[29] vs. 60 (Per 40, Awareness +20)

Hound picks up on the same concerning monitoring as Marcella, maybe slightly slower than she does.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Hah, believe it or not I was going to add last night before your IC post that Marc dyed her hair and eyes to avoid being noticed, too late now I guess lol.
She does indeed need a roll. She'll do that fettered version, rolling against half her pay rating so she doesn't risk warp phenomena: (1d100)[3] vs TN 70"Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Milo and Orla seem on board with the idea (correct me if I'm wrong), that just leaves Hound and Arl if either of them has opposition to it.
If Hound/Arl are on board/don't mind, I'll leave the action here for Bennosuke's next post. If they're not, like Hound has opposition to the idea IC (and he's the one Marc would most listen to), then feel free to ignore this;
Spoiler
Action: After we walk past the next spy-goon we observe, Marc will cast Dominate on him/her and get them to follow us as we turn down an alley and into the back-streets.
Psy Roll: (1d100)[69] vs TN 90
Opposed Willpower Test: (1d100)[45] vs TN 75 (55 will base + 20 for overbleed)
If this goes forward IC, he/she needs to beat 3 successes on an opposed willpower roll, otherwise they're following us along, completely under Marcs mental domination. She'll walk them along behind them, then when they'redown an alley and around a corner she'll get them to open the arms and let themselves get frisked for comms devices, ID, weapons etcLast edited by BananaPhone; 2023-08-23 at 01:45 AM.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
On board with it, just expecting it to go wrong in some way.
If Marcella dominates someone, Orla will be looking for somewhere to hide where she can observe anyone else who might be following them.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Hound thinks it would be better if Marc can just read one of the watchers' minds while we remain out in the open doing our thing, and I posted to that effect before reading this OOC conversation.
Of course, that depends on whether Marc can do that. If not, then this plan is the next best thing, though I would worry if the Dominate power is detectable by sight, for instance if the victim moves stiffly or otherwise in an unnatural fashion. There's also the risk that the other watchers will react to one of their own taking an unannounced walk, but I suppose we can't have everything.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Unfortunately not. She can read minds from a distance now, but it requires 4+ successes on a Mind Scan power roll, then the mind reading power is an 'extended action' meaning she can't do anything else, and that requires successive rounds of opposed willpower rolls. So basically she'd stop in the street to *Puts hand to head* nyoing-nyoing-nyoing.
As far as I can read, Telepathy discipline doesn't give off any visual cues that it's being used (unless power entries denote as such), though those it is being used against are sometimes are aware of it. If she gets the Dominate off on one of the spies, she has to split her and their actions; so they'd each take a half action move each round as we head down an alley or something, basically looking like they're moving at very leisurely paces.Last edited by BananaPhone; 2023-08-23 at 05:10 PM.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
So Mr GM, I think we're all on board the "Uno Reversi" mind-enslavement of the next spy we pass. As above, he or she will need to beat 3 or 4 successes on an opposed willpower roll.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
So, just as a course of action:
1. Marc 'nabs' the next spy they pass, using Dominate, she gets them to follow the group, then down an alley and around a corner, off the main streets.
2. Marc mind-scans the spy and learns what they know. She then tells the party all the necessary details.
3. Arl/Milo toss the spy over a railing to dispose of the body. (hopefully after frisking them and removing all good items, like comms, ID, any weapons etc if we're really lucky we'll get their microbead that the spy team is using to communicate)
4. Hound, Orla and Arl use the information given to decide how to proceed next, using their combination of book smarts, street smarts and assassin training. (not saying Milo can't contribute mind you, bramble, just given that he's still a priest and all atm, I figured those three would be better suited IC and Milo can take notes from Arl for his own change to assassin career.)
Sound good?
@Bennosuke
Just out of curiosity, but if Marc has someone under Dominate, meaning she controls them completely, and she then Mind Scans them, given her control over their mind, as long as she makes the roll with the penalty from sustaining multiple powers, can she force them to botch or waive their opposed willpower rolls? So basically mind controlling them into completely opening and surrendering their thoughts to her?Last edited by BananaPhone; 2023-08-24 at 10:08 PM.

Re: OOC II: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
The environment that we're in atm, I'd imagine, is very similar to the Lord Inquisitor short animated movie that came out a few years back, particularly from about the middle onwards.
Just in case anyone wants some more more atmosphere."Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""
