By this point I don't think there's much else to do in the night. Stumbling around in a swamp in the middle of the night would just be kind of a loop of inanity. Unless there's something I'm sorely missing out here.
Anno
I forgot what the tribe's name was ;_; A cursory check of the previous thread didn't make it apparent either.
Also, Kirara, assuming we could properly navigate from the map Dan gave us for the investigation into the swamp, how close did we get to his indicator? Were the smoke signals of the camp the location, or are we still a distance away from it?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
The indicator for where the soldier disappeared?
Anno
When we were leaving the National Guard camp, we were given a map showing the camp and a-oh yeah that. Fuck I can't process context right now.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
The map is generally a map of the area, the Seminole encampment isn't on it. The guardsman was snatched away much closer to the guards camp than you are, near the perimeter of it. There wasn't a trail which is why the team ended up going around the swamp until they found something that could provide information.
Anno
Hm, I see. I was under the assumption we were heading towards the abduction site and this ended up a diversion.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
The treaded yada triplets?!
Anno
Thomas always talks like he can hear the external narration.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
The narration details the surroundings, what our characters can see. Thomas is taking in that observation and making a statement on it. Presumably each of our characters are having a thought along the line of what was narrated. x
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
When was the last time you all ate? You must be starving.
Anno
Heh. If we assume Archibald's estate comes with food, the morning, I suppose.
Yuu
oh no, when was the last time we peed?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Girls don't pee.
Yuu
that's what you think
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Yeah Because it's the truth.
Anno
Ah, stewed beef. How wonderfully reminiscent of desecrated organs.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
the scent of stewed beef at least
i kid
Yuu
Do they have cows in the swamp? It's probably not beef.
Anno
This isn't the 1700s. It probably isn't very difficult to get beef in somewhat isolated locations such as a swamp by the 1930s.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Very astute. They in fact do not have cows. But it is beef.
Yuu
Sometimes it's best not to know the specifics about these things.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Wow, it's like Tilde thinks these people are going to get you guys or something.
Yuu
I'm sure it's fine. They even let us try to get their tracker killed.
Anno
About what time of night would you figure it is for them, Kirara?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
It's about 10 PM right now.
Anno
Shit, since when did it get so dark so early down there in Florida.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Oh, really? I thought it was way later.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>55492 haha what it gets dark by like 8pm every day and that's the latest
Anno
Oh wait right. Yeah the longer days is more noticeable up here than it is down there. Getting a 21:00 sunset isn't an impossibility up here.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Do we have to roll to not get malaria
Anno
Felicity intends to get Thomas awake at around three hours from them going to sleep. Is there anything you intend to have happen in that time?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
nah it's probably fine
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>55499 Nope Your stew might get cold though! well lukewarm since it's hot out
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>three hours you're going to get a helping of cranky Thomas
Anno
Well if it bothers you so much, I'll make it FOUR hours.
>>55501 Well she just got done mushing up a pile of organs with a knife. I don't know about you but I think that would kill the appetite of just about anyone.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
joudan desu
Yuu
Oh no, I thought something like this might happen.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Am I going to have to bakuhatsu some injuns.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Good luck doing that while you're asleep.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I'm sure VV and Thomas will have some nice shared dreams again.
Yuu
VV doesn't need eldritch shenanigans to want to sleep all night anyway.
Don't worry, this isn't Eldritch shenanigans. It's just poison!
Anno
Oh boy.
Anno
It's safe to assume the pistol has been at arm's reach the past while.
Well I mean she's been keeping watch. Makes sense to keep it particularly close.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
You've still got it, yeah Yeah, sure
I think you have five shots
Anno
Was Shadowing or Stealth more particular in governing hiding in shadows?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Stealth would be better in this situation
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I was really hoping Tilde would fall for my trap too
Anno
What sort of roll would I need for something like hiding here then.
Anno
Oh well that's something else I guess.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I'd say difficulty 5 for this It is a tent though so you could escape from the front or the back if you needed to
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
National Guard hype
Yuu
>>55524 I had half a mind not to, but there was really no reason for VV to be suspicious enough of them not to eat. But it's obvious it wasn't beef, there are no cows!
Anno
>>55524 Felicity is still pumping adrenaline from shooting a demon bird. I would have had her fall asleep fine though if not for everyone sleeping like the fucking dead. The food was out of the question even if she'd not ate in a while though. Like, imagine hugging a pile of organs down a tree, then stabbing them with a knife. And then coming across a pot of mushy stewed beef. No matter how hungry you are that shit isn't gonna be appetizing.
Oh, it's the mob. I would have much rather been captured by the natives.
Anno
For all the Seminole protest about white people invading their land, it's awfully weird to be working with the mafia.
Yuu
I tried to yell at the old lady for being a hypocrite last session but you guys silenced me!
Anno
I don't think hypocrite was quite the context.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Chansky's mob is based on the Jewish mafia. Jews weren't considered white people in the 30s so it's probably fine.
But this alliance is more about that casino in the Everglades that's been mentioned a few times!
Anno
Fucking spirits and their ethnic technicality autism.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I don't think I can stay up much longer with the percocets Can we cut it short at 1:00? Sorry, it was supposed to be an extended game but I guess it ended up being shorter than ever.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
sure
Anno
>>55548 I figured the casino was a focal point in this. Doubly so since the Stikini from last session was very mad at someone under Chansky's thumb.
Anno
Also Felicity isn't yet making a move.
Yuu
Not surprising that they'd cuff me first since I beat the snot out of their boss.
Anno
Can I use a point of Conceal, or is that a roll when the issue is pressed?
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
To hide the gun?
Anno
Yeah.
Oh I'm already handcuffed anyway.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Yeah, roll it now
Not handcuffed yet You can still resist if you want to or you can hide the gun so they won't know you have it later
Anno
Okay, #d6 (3) + 2
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
you successfully conceal the firearm
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Are you going to resist handcuffing?
Anno
I've been tossing resistance back and forth since they entered the tent. It's a hard choice to make.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
If you want to fake sleep, you can If you fight, you'll have to deal with four people with unknown weapons You could also try to flee
Anno
Yeah, it's that four unknowns that are really getting at me.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I'll let you spend a point of streetwise to see if they /// the three in the tent look like they have a firearm if you want
Anno
Oh that's a good use of a skill that's been absolutely useless in the middle of a fucking swamp. Yeah I'll spend that.
Anno
If only Phelps was still here. He'd have gone Rambo in a second.
Anno
But ultimately she's the only one awake in the middle of a swamp, being accosted by four men, and who knows how many traitorous Seminoles around.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
If only Phelps was here, we'd be already dead.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i think this is a good place to stop
Yuu
I guess we're ending on a cliffhanger this week.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
yup
Anno
I deliberated way too long.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
It's my fault, don't worry about it.
Yuu
>>55600 There's no way we would have made it out of this mess in the time it took you to think about it anyway.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I mean we're literally unconscious with no way to do anything about it. So
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
I'm sure an extended session will go well next time. Sorry again. Thanks for playing.
Yuu
Yeah, maybe things will go better next week. thanks for game!
