OOC: Do Tangler grenades make a loud noise when deployed?

I would say about the same sound as a New Year's popper, so maybe about as loud as a door slamming.

OOC 2: Is S'krllk still with us?  Sorry, I just forgot.  If so, he has a Needler with Anesthetic ammo.Anyone with anything else quiet?  I don't have anything but the EMP grenades but, highly skilled with Laser Weapons so if we're trying a [1] shot stop, there's another option.

I think he is with us, but his player may not currently be. I can NPC him until he (hopefully) joins us again.

Re: Player's Forum 3

OK, I'm thinking a combination of Doze & Tangler grenades to open the ambush, followed by the needler as a chaser.

Prefer (if possible) to stay away from any weapons leaving open wounds (bullets, edged weapons, etc.) this way it doesn't leave a trace when we try and dispose the bodies.  I would say that once we can accomplish that, they go under the floor.

I also believe that once they get KO'd or go unconscious, they die?

Under we go to the suspected security control (#11) then to the prison cells?

Good or thoughts otherwise?

Not clear what this is asking.

I will use a percentage for alerting people or sounds being alerted through the security system.

That said, the cameras also pick up sound so you may want to have a zone of silence within about 20 feet of them.

If I recall, the Sathar have a suicide/death 'thought' implanted in them so that they cannot be captured?

Re: Player's Forum 3

I would put this under the category that Desi and the group doesn't really know what will happen. I'd have to deep dive it if you try, but the basic rules themselves say that they kill themselves so they won't be captures, but not specifically about being unconscious:
quote:
Almost nothing is known about Sathar society. They have tried to kill every alien creature they have met in the Frontier, usually with alarming success. No one knows why the Sathar attack so viciously or what they hope to gain. All attempts to contact the Sathar peacefully have failed.

Secrecy
No Sathar has ever been captured alive, because they kilI themselves before they can be taken. In one case, an entire Sathar ship self-destructed to avoid being captured. Freeze fields have been applied to several dead Sathar in an attempt to have them revived, but biologists have not been able to find a revival technique that works on them.

That's fine Heath, I didn't want to meta game too much but, knowing that their kind has never been captured is good enough knowledge.

Completely your call.  There was a reason I offered the vibroknife to Vadim.  Like I said, only an offer.  Player's choice on action.

Eh, like the machete more as a practical tool as well as weapon that does more damage in melee regardless;-)

Like I said, was offering the option is all.  I'm not trying to dictate to anyone how or what their PC should do or react.

In reply to Desiraye Lipost (msg # 104):

No worries...I was thinking there was some 'stealth' issue of using a machete vs vibroknife that I wasn't seeing.

No need to walk on eggshells (with me at least) when offering suggestions or opinions given pbp format makes it a bit more awkward to do so than normal face to face tabletop gaming.

Re: Player's Forum 3

OK, No problem. My thought process on it was the vibro knife shouldn't leave much blood if any at all because it cauterizes (in theory). Machete is a slashing/Chopping weapon and could possibly leave blood and/or traces of it if we're trying to be silent and stealthy.

I believe so...

That's why I went into some detail in the description. Also, many players/PCs weren't around back then.

Sorry for the delays. I had to fly back to the US for a 10 day summit and had no spare time.

But I'm back in business now.

Re: Player's Forum 3

So, if I understand correctly, coming up into #19 would give us access to rooms #15 & #16?

If that's the case, I say we go for it group?  THoughts?

Yes, that is correct. You can also try to deactivate lasers or cameras if desired and with some risk.

Do we risk our little surprise and try to disable the cameras only?

Let's determine where we are first and what these two [2] rooms are

Desiraye will step towards the door for #16 while the others are occupied with the Sathar youth (yute).


At least it's not two yutes.

Bonus to Desi, I do like that movie;-).
