[QUOTE="writernextdoor, post: 5891814, member: 6689303"] ((GM Notes are in double parentheses)) [Mechanical notes are in braces] Episode: So What Happened To Nick? ((The episode was played out with a smaller-than-usual group, so this is truncated version built around one mechanical conceit - [What if another player was in charge of your spends?])) Nick is a proud vegan. Not one of those convert-anyone-he-meets-types, but definitely someone not shy about extolling the virtues of good diet and clean living. [Research 2] He was spending what was more or less a day off doing some digging around a city zoning meeting where the local journalists reported some strange goings-on. The lights flickered, they had a funny sense of time and the recording devices didn't always function properly. So... [Disguise 1] He went down to the records office to watch the footage. It was static-y, it looked years degraded despite being a brand-new recording. He took notes and made himself a copy of the tape [CLUE]. On the tape, there were two items on the agenda worth noting: 1. There was a vote to re-zone a whole area by the waterfront into an industrial park. [CORE CLUE] 2. When he cranked up the volume to hear the conversations better, he heard a raspy voice speaking just off-camera, whispering his name. His name, Mace's name, and the name of that nice Doctor they rescued from the Hospital. [CLUE] The words were just floated out there, with just that right sense of menace to crawl under your skin and wriggle into your ear. He had to do something. But what? Mace had gone down to Aruba. He'd have to go back to his apartment and put together a plan. [Driving 1] He took side streets and short cuts. [Traffic Analysis, Streetwise 1] He made it to his apartment parking garage in record time. 2 things happened. First, the explosion. ((This was the largest dice roll I've made in the game to-date)), The blast was huge, the pillar of fire tremendous. The building shook and shuddered. Gone were the top 3 floors. ((That's a 31d6 explosives roll if you're mechanically curious...that's Explosive Devices + Enemy MOS + gas lines + Preparedness + demolitions training + high quality explosives)) Second, the tazer. It caught Nick just above the kidney, and he barely felt the black silk bag slip over his head.... Next episode - NICK, KIDNAPPED. [/QUOTE]
