uv23, why can't you use the A2089 mechanics with the Battletech setting?

In my game, I kept track of all the people the PC's killed unjustly. I was saving them for a later villain, who would summon them all simultaneously to fight the party.

I think it's time to jump ahead. We'll assume that Aurthahz answers your questions and translates for everyone until you all have a common language. Post what you'd like to do over the next couple weeks in the OOC thread.

I want to write up that band from the Muppet Show for Hijinx... What were they called? Ah, yes... Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem... Dr. Teeth -- keyboards Sgt. Floyd Pepper -- guitar Zoot -- saxophone Janice -- guitar, vocals Animal -- drums

Aurthahz says, [baser speech, for Bone-mender's benefit] "They are inhabitants of a distant place they call "Eh-arth". This device is an ancient artifact, constructed in the distant past by the priest-engineers of the Great Empire. Primarily, I use it to view distant parts of the world. In...

Have you seen "Hijinx"?

You all are thinking WAY too scientifically about all this.

At a predermined time, the mobbers walk out into the street, roll a D20 until it comes up "20," shout "Critical hit!" and walk away.

Certainly looks that way to me.... I'm curious.

Aurthahz closes his eyes and lies back on the cot. "I'm just explaining to them the situation they're in... that they're safe here for a while, but eventually they're going to be discovered. It's not easy, I don't understand their language well. When they are discovered, I will have to...

Aurthahz's face falls. "Ih Doh noht keh-noh hah-owah."

We've switched to Open Office at home with no ill effects.

Aurthahz says, [english-s]"Ih ahm cah-lehd 'Aurthahz.' Yah-woo moost plahn toh ...mmm... ess-cah-peh. Yah-woo wihll beh ...mmm... sehn aht soh-meh poh-ihnt."

Okay, barring any objections, I'm going to jump you forward tomorrow (monday) afternoon (Eastern US time). What I want to see, here in the OOC thread, is what your characters want to do with the time available to you in the red tower. You can take one level, putting you at second, with a type...

Aurthahz says, [english-s]"Eee-ess, thiss iss a prih-zahn, but theh goo-wahrds doh noht k'noh ah-boh-oot yoh-woo. Theh-yeh doh noht coh-meh ihn heh-reh ahf-tehn. Weh hah-veh tih-meh toh mah-keh ...mm... preh-pah-rah-... plahns."[/english-s]

Aurthahz accepts Bone-mender's help. "Have I really been such a terrible master that you would abandon me if I weren't of use to you now?

Aurthahz says, to Morguk, "You have no choice but to trust me. If you fly out of here like a wounded histak you're going to get yourselves shot. Stay here and stay out of trouble and you'll live for a time."

[english-s]"Goo-wards ...mmm... soul-die-erss. Sho-oht yoh-woo if yoh-woo goo oh-woot. Phhzzzt."[/english-s] He makes a hand motion like shooting a gun, then closes his eyes and makes a choking noise. [english-s]"deh-ahd. Doh noht coh-meh ihn. Yah-woo ah-reh sah-feh heh-reh."[/english-s]

Aurthahz says, [english-s]"Noh waa-yee ah-woot. Thee ahn-lee doh-ohr iss veh-ree higg up, and ...mmmm... goo-wahrds ahr-eyh ...mmm... wat-khe-hinj. Eee am ...mm... prih-soon-er too. Yoh-woo must stah-yee. Eee can ...mmmm... shee-eld yoh-woo."[/english-s]

"If you can stop thrashing around like a wounded drashig," croaks Aurthahz, "You've got all the time you need." [English(sorta)]"Hee-yoo-men. Eee hah-vah beeen stoo-dee-ying yow-wer lan-goo-wadjeh. Kahn yow-woo un-der-stahnd mee?"[English(sorta)]
