You can start planning your course of action.

Needless to say that the kidnap victim himself is of no relevance to the plot. One more shell shocked survivor won't give you any info that you couldn't get from the interview that Suria's colleague wrote. What you want is hard evidence of a conspiracy so plan accordingly.

By elimination, Pat and Suria are with Stonegod for this bit.
I misunderstood the original agreement, thus my confusion (also, it appears you edited this post from its original thoughts on my tactics). Posting now.

Well, yes. Re-reading it, I felt the original post assumed too much.

No big, but I was responding to the original initially; only noticed the change as I was toping.

Well, from the the people with Ghost, I need at least one more person to manifest himself.

Also, the situation calls for a clear decision since there are many different course of actions. To clarify, here are four I can think of:

A - Make a dynamic entry while everyone is in the room (goon, kidnap victim and mystery man). Then sort out the mess and interrogate the survivors. Toughest fight, but you grab everyone.

B - Wait for the Mystery Man to leave (He is the only really high value target at the meet) and his bodyguard(s) as he is on his way back, then inetrrogat/minread him. Much easier fight, but higher likelyhood he will successfully escape since it will be on open ground. The downside is that you let the poor victim in the hand of the goons and then

C - Track the kidnap victim. See where in the clinic and, most importantly, who will 'process' the victim and brainwash him. Whoever it is, that person is knee deep in the conspiracy and a prize catch. Not as easy as it sounds.

D - A combination of C and D. Best potential result, but tough to pull off.

---


With two people active in the firefight, I will proceed on that front. But at some point we need other PCs to post! I won't go on indefinetly with so few poster active.

I'm in mind for B & C. Though an A option would be to get to the drop, wait for the goons to leave and then give the rest the drop... hopefully before the man calls the clinic. If they do, they go with B & C.

Of course, I need some feedback from the rest of my peeps....

kookalouris has disabled Experience Points
My sincere apologies for apparently dropping off of the face of the internet for about a week or so. My trusty laptop hasn't been lately and I have been forced to do what I can on the work computer (when the boss isn't watching). Please don't think I have lost interest and please give me just a few more days to scrape my data together...

Stonegod, still there?

3 player is not much but maybe I can twist/retcon things a bit to regroup you with Kerry and Rochelle and go forward from there.

I'm here.

All our other players have been "around"; not sure why not posting. Could try emailing them or not.

In any case, I assume we'll start from the planning stage?

Yep. But this Mission Impossible. Let's just agree on the basic idea (as mentioned earlier) and a rough tactic and we'll wing it from there.

After some soul searching I decided to cancel the game. Three people who essentially drop off the game is a little hard to recover from. Meanwhile I started another campaign that gets a much better response so I will focus on it.

I want to thank Stonegod and Shayuri for showing above average dedication and posting till the end. 1 ENworld XP each! (Velmont already got his).

Sorry for the disappointment.

These things happen, and its better to call it quits than just fade away. Thanks anyway!

Awww

Well, thanks for giving it a try...and I'm sorry it didn't work out.

I was having a lot of fun even with just the players we had.
