Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[DM_Matt]

OOC: because we haven't had time to post yet?

"Is there a reason that we cannot meet him here? A face to face meetin will allow both our parties to build trust with one another and could lead to further business dealings...especially if Barrington does something that jepordizes both of our interests. Nightweaver says keeping her face neutral.

OOC: for what it's worth, bluff +11; +15 if he finds her attractive

"Again, the real info requires network access. Please, follow me."

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian stands up and dusts off her skirt.

"We've come this far," she opines. "It'd be silly not to play the last nine holes."

She looks at the others and adds, "Don't you think?"

 

[Elric]

Jonasson says:

"I appreciate your concern, but we can take care of ourselves. However, we still may be willing to sell you some information like that. However, you are best talking to the man who was in charge of that sale. I'll have him meet you in a room with the proper terminals. Come with me."
Nitro, Nightweaver, and Viridian think he's full of it.

"I think the man in charge of that sale can probably remember enough about it to talk to us out here for a bit. I have to believe he's a professional like everyone else at this place."

Nitro cracks his neck, revealing bulging muscles, after he finishes speaking.

 

[Victim]

He's asking us to move from one room that's probably a death trap to a different room, also most likely heavily trapped. Seems like an even trade. Shooting Star stands up, "I'm coming." Is it better to split up or go together? If for some reason they can only attack one spot, then splitting up helps since they're probably less likely to attack if they can't hit all of us. But otherwise, we're in even bigger trouble.

 

[Elric]

He's asking us to move from one room that's probably a death trap to a different room, also most likely heavily trapped. Seems like an even trade.

Nitro thinks about this too and concludes "if it was an even trade, would he be so insistent on us moving to the other room?". He tries to glare at Shooting Star without it being too obvious to Jonasson.

 

[Victim]

(He's not being insistent; it seems perfectly reasonable and people are being paranoid. I believe the pertinent phrase is "Grow a Sense Motive." Alas.)

Nitro's looking at me oddly. Again. Is there something wrong with my clothes or something? You'd think he would have more important things to pay attention to, especially since he's supposed to be security. She shifts her weight from foot to foot, uncomfortable under his gaze.

 

[DM_Matt]

Never mind.

 

[DM_Matt]

(Ok, so a majority wants to go, so the group starts going, unless someone wants to unilaterally change the situation)

 

[DM_Matt]

BTW, optic sees the following:
No active defenses in the room
All the doors have magnetic drop-downs like at the museum
Surveilance Cameras. A couple hidden ones to co with a couple obvious ones.

He cant see far into the walls. They are partially shielded it seems.

 

[Elric]

"I'm coming."

Nitro grabs her by the shoulder. "Not while I'm in charge of security." He turns to Jonasson- "want to put the man in charge of the sale on the line here? I'm sure talking to him will be fine even if he's over there where he can access the network and we're sitting here."
