Triple Play [OOC]

[Mister Andersen]

Not going to Origins, so not levelling up.

Okay, skinny on the interrogation.

The cyclist acts as if there will be consequences for revealing his source. i.e., lead is 6.

There is an act of violence modifier, but keep in mind the rules for qualifying for this on the top right of page 380. In his condition, he can't be taking much damage.

Also keep in mind the time durations for the strategies on page 381. 2 hours may not be enough. Especially considering at first level, you don't have many options available to you until the lead drops or you happen to have the breaking points feat.

Your teammates might gather enough clues that you could use the Bad Cop strategy (you add number of clues to your will save), which is really your best bet, but it might take them a while for them to post.

Anyways, let me know what you want to do.

Yeah, all I can really do is Goad at this point (my base will save is too low to try Bad Cop right now). I'm hoping I can lay some penalties on him to make him give up some info.

Investigation (1d20+7=13)
Analysis (1d20+7=23)

Use as appropriate

You can do waiting game, too. Act of violence or torture is independent of the strategy.

You have to be a little more specific... are you checking the scene at the estate? Anything specific?

 

[solkan_uk]

No Origins for me, too many miles and too much ocean in the way.

Well, I only have the room for 2 hours, so waiting game isn't a very good option at this point. I'm planning to make LIBERAL use of the other options you mentioned

 

[Psion]

This game is slightly freaky in that I have stepsisters called Catherine & Cassandra, and they're twins.

 

[Insight]

Wow. I never imagined my interrogation would get so... violent.

In any event, it doesn't look like we're going to get closure any time soon. I'm gonna check the IC thread once more tonight, and then maybe once tomorrow before Origins.

If the interrogation hasn't resolved by then, go ahead and NPC the rest of it. You have my stats and such. Basically, Machete is going to use Bad Cop until he gets what he wants. The other Strategies really don't fit in with his character, and honestly, Bad Cop is the one he's best suited to use skill-wise. I'm hoping some of the circumstantial penalties are making up for my low skill bonus and crappy rolls.

I'm not sure what Machete is going to do with the prisoner once the interrogation is over.

 

[Psion]

Well, it looks like you have an unconscious prisoner on your hand now. It will take medical care to get him responsive again.

If you get a chance, let me know how you deal with him (turn over to secret service, call in other characters, take to a clinic, etc.) Otherwise, I'll assume that it takes a bit of time to deal with the situation.
