Yeah me too. But I checked and security is a Wheelman class skill so next level I will have to dump skill points into it. DM is there a home rule limiting how many skill points you let us point in a skill per level?
The rules place a Max Rank in a skill that don't mention how many ranks you can add per level gained. For example next level per rules I could add up to the max ranks in security which is 6. But sometimes DM impose house rules limiting the max you can place per level to more simulate natural skill development. Was asking what DM wanted for this campaign.
Any idiot could hotwire a car from 1980...
But why do we want to anyway... we should break in search it and then throw the bodies in our van and bury them in the desert...
No fuss no muss...
Without any instructions, we would need to contact HQ...
I don't have any such rule, as far as that goes. You can place up to your max ranks at next level. My idea is that as you use the skills, you get better at them. That and you can account for off time training.

I'm good with Timothy's plan, but honestly I'm fine leaving it in our Wheelman and Scout's hands. I see the two as more in military command of the situation.
Firstly let's break into the car. I wouldn't mind taking it if we hotwire it. Hell, did any of the guys have the keys for it? Maybe they're inside the car.
I would prefer to not take the car as it stands out like a polar bear in the desert.
So does our van, I'm sure. And us.
Its night time so, so people won't know we're foreign from within the van. A van is non descript a BMW on the other hand says, "look at me"
we just saw a bit of Timothy's personality peek through, nice. ;)
Jason (and his persona Richard) are a bit vain :P I wouldn't have had Nat carry to bodies if her strength was lower, but since she's a martial artist anyhow, I figured that even with her 10 Strength, she probably still had more muscle or something, you dig? But also Jason is pretty vain :D
Its RP bro... no big deal... just figured to keep it historically accurate... :)
Yeah, I know. I wasn't taking it personal or anything. Just making conversation until the GM tells me about the junk in the drunk. I'm also emphasizing that Jason looks really good in a suit. Like, really good.
Mean like a handsome President Carter...
actually, I forgot my STR is average, but mostly I don't want to have bloodstains on me, in case I need to bluff our way out of a situation.
Any one got a reserve common item they can claim with a resource check?
We need a shovel or other burying equipment.
Well I'm hoping I find one. Should be easy to find a shovel, right?
I doubt it... we are in the city of Karachi after all... maybe once we get to the outskirts we can find one.
I have one!
Also I have 900 bucks
I am not being overly cautious, my character is using common sense. The other option is to go to the desert and burn the bodies... just saying. There has to be a gas station. :)
As mentioned elsewhere, I'll back any other decisions here. I think we could use a de facto leader for the group, for speed's sake.
Options
1. Hail and Well Met. We CAN try to talk to em, but that can become a gunfight awfully fast. However we DO have the bag full of guns in the van, so that's a bonus. Natalie's damn good at her ability to impress others, but if they're already suspicious, it may not work out well.
2. Bail and Tail. They may not notice us, or pursue.
--If they do not notice us, we can circle around keep watch on them, but I'm not good at Blending.
--If they do notice us but do not pursue, that tells us a bit about their focus, and we can still keep watch on them maybe.
--If they pursue, we get a Chase, and can lead em out of town.
3. Pre-emptive Vengeance. We could initiate hostilities with the bag full of guns, maybe even a hasty ambush (doubt it), and hope we get some serious damage on em early, use the van as cover and ensure we pop those tires. We could find out more about who these people are, if we capture one, but this assumes they're part of the guys watching us.
I personally believe option 2 is best, I'd rather know who we're dealing with, and this is the least risky way to do it.
option 2 by consensus it is!
I opt for riding on agree that maybe talking to a truck full of people is not the best. I will drive casually. Until I can't.
You drive a bit more, watching the other vehicle cautiously. It drives towards the construction area, finds a place to park and the driver gets out. After a moment, he motions for the others to get out as well. Then you drive past and can no longer see what they are up to.
I imagine that was meant for the Gameplay tab :p
Oops. Sorry about that guys. I had both windows open and must have hit the wrong one.

It's cool, DM. Speaking of mixing up tabs, if we're going to discuss our next action, we should do it here, instead of in OOC tags in the gameplay thread. But AFAIK, we're just waiting for Macomb to declare he's driving us to the desert, right?
I keep forgetting if we left at night?
That is correct, it is night now.

What, again, is the state of affairs between the current country we're in and the Russians? Could posing as a Russian general prove useful here?
We are still in Pakistan not Afghanistan.
Were we in Afghanistan, yes but here no...
If I have cultures proficiency in the following regions do I understand Pashto:
Eastern Europe
Western Asia
I would think so but want a DM ruling.
Would that be Western or Central Asian?
Western Asia does include the Middle East according to the rulebook, so Macomb would have a basic understanding of Pashto.

I hope you guys don't mind i shot at them.., but the man running to the truck looked suspect. I shot the driver so they can't get away.
I cannot and will not have issue with someone adhering to what they consider to be a proper course of action. This also holds true to people who overreact and have no information on the situation (this does not apply here, just saying I roll with punches well) ;)
You probably made the right call anyway!
Personally, I understand it. Jason, however, does not. He'd rather, like, follow the car or something.
was that the whole round? If not, can we get a little <----- arrow for where we are in the current inish?
I believe it was waiting on me. Work has been brutal lately. I think Macomb has some objections to shooting unarmed possible innocents who tried warning us about the area being dangerous. Words sometimes works better than bullets. I understand why Smith opened fire based on the character. I think he might have a case of PTSD.
That was the entire first round, my apologies for my not making it more clear. I will endeavor to do so. With arrows and stuff.

So i killed the other guy too, I guess... The question is if the third guy gives up...
I uh...I hope no one is firing at whomever I'm right next to. Just saying.
It should be noted that she's never had such an experience happen to her before.
Natalie's Cultures include North America, Asia and Europe. Due to the campaign, we will say Western Asia, which includes the Middle East and Eastern Europe, which includes Russia.
I do not speak Pashto, but I'm willing to bet he speaks "gun pointed at head" and is fluent in "shot in the leg." But yeah maybe I should sit this one out.
Maybe Smith should fire a shot right past his head and scream at him? I bet it'd work.
