[QUOTE="Krizzel, post: 619804, member: 9062"] [i]September 2nd, 2015 0304 hours, local time isla San Carmo[/i] Going slow enough to produce relatively little noise, it takes a couple of hours to come in from the ocean, cross a couple miles of shallows, and finally land on the beach. Those with night vision goggles, like Wraith, can make out the form of a double-peaked mountain on this end of the island, though it's hard to tell details amid the grainy-green cast of the image. You [b]can[/b] see that the land rises almost immediately from the beach in a steep slope, especially to the west. The slope flattens out to the east as the mountain pulls away in that direction. Even without nightvision, the night is almost as bright as a full moon from all the stars visible. Everyone can make out the thick line of jungle that starts just beyond the beach. The beach itself is covered with pale sand, ranging in width from ten to thirty feet. Rocks up to the size of small boulders jut out here and there, but the beach is far from what anyone might be tempted to call rocky. The buzz and clatter of insects fills the balmy air, puncutated now and then by a bird call or an animal's howl. [i] Your general list of tasks: [/i] - bring in boat and equipment, hide it all from sight, change out of wetsuits to your normal gear - set up hydrofoil for your extraction (should take approx. 3-4 hours w/ 2 people, minus 30 min for each additional helper) - rendezvous with Shadow Wolf (location marked on the map - if you follow the arrow down that's where you've landed - about 2-3 miles from the rendezvous point) - locate hostages and data discs, free/collect them, and get them out - extract and meet up with USS [i]Delgado[/i] [i]How you do them, and in what order, is up to you. From this point on I'm not going to assume anything - you're on your own ;) Everyone will get automatic spot/listen checks to notice things though, modified by anything else that might distract them at the appropriate time. If you want to pay particular attention for something, let me know. Also, whoever takes 'point' will get automatic search checks (for traps or secret doors). Everyone else will have to take an action to search. Any search for anything else takes an action. Lastly, I've posted the maps in the Rogues Gallery thread for easy reference. The link is in my sig if you ever need to find it easily.[/i] [/QUOTE]
