Piece of Mind: a d20 Modern horror/sci fi campaign [METAGAME]

[The Shaman]

With not much else to do, as he couldn't head back to pick up his car without someone free to drive the Ford Explorer back after he got his car, Hawk settled for mainly walking around the house, checking out the access points and any potential security problems, and listening to classic rock on the radio.

You should go hiking in the rain and collect postcards like Brandon, or maybe just a long, detailed exposition about killing Luz and burying the body. That would be outstanding

"Where have you been?"

"I took a walk. Breakfast didn't agree with me..."

That's both and .

OOC: Take ten again on the other records.

Is there something in particular that Kristen and Decker are looking for?

Any thoughts, team?

 

[James Heard]

Just don't search for New Rebels internet porn?

I have no clue at this point. But if I were metagaming...
[sblock]
Search for Annalee, find out where the FDA drug trials were done and see if you can schmooze samples or maybe the gun guys can bust some heads and grab some? Once we have drugs we can feed them to Luz and see if she sprouts an extra head, and once we find Annalee's boyfriend and her we'll probably find the doctor or his corpse.

We also need to find out more about the evil security guys and make sure there isn't another factor or three we aren't stalking horses for. We should probably start thinking about private plane chartering or boats, so we can't be tracked by anyone with a computer and half a brain. And someone else needs to flesh all that out and say it if it gets said... [/sblock]
...but Brandon is pretty dumb for a 14 Int sort.

 

[Bobitron]

Well, I think some metagaming is the only way we are going to be able to represent Kristen's insight and knowledge that comes from 8+ years of difficult schooling and an 18 Intelligence. I know I can't live up to that.

Now, if I'm interpretting this correctly, this quote means Hawk just accidentally summoned Cthulhu into the world to feast on the souls of the living?

While Hawk's all for flying a plane, I doubt we'll be able to call a private plane a reasonable expense.

Maybe we should check out the good doctor's home? Did we get an address? Since there's no evidence of any wrongdoing on his part yet, or reason to believe in kidnapping, I doubt the security or local police would have acquired a warrant and searched it.

Maybe not, but I'd expect a trap or at least to be be followed directly on the presumption of being the stalking horse. At worst private security would act in a no more legal fashion than we might given our druthers.

Why not? All we have to do is find some guy who does charters and is willing accept co-pilots. We're not talking about a Lear here, just some sort of Cesna/whatever big enough for all of us/our gear/the doctor. The sort of island hopper that there are a million of in Central America and the Caribbean.

I kind of assumed we would be heading to the house after all the research is done. Maybe Hawk could take a drive past the place while the research is happening to see if he notices anything out of place or someone watching the house?

It think we should look at his cell phone calls from the time of the conference to see if he called his daughter. It might be nice to check the phone records from his hotel room too but I don't know if we can do that.

I also think we should talk to his daughter it seems like if he was gonna tell anyone he was going to Venezuela it was going to be her. Maybe if we convice her we're trying to help her father she'll be helpful.

Can you tell from cell phone records where a call was placed from? Like where the person was located when the called.
