Casseus is at the constable's office. Someone would have to tell him there is an issue.
And Wyrd is working in town, also probably oblivious unless informed.
As I said, not following along since I have no PCs there. Was mostly posting that as a friendly reminder that there are characters around.
I know Lyn is not feeling the best and I haven't seen MisterLurch post for anybody but Phaez lately so I was just politely poking you all.
I haven't been following the plot by Damiani in Kuros/the factory, but shouldn't Dennis, Wyrd, and Casseus(at the least) be around? and/or respond? Seems like a lot has happened, but they haven't posted any replies/reactions.
From what I deduced, the following was going on:
1) Wyrd was fixing things in town,
2) Casseus is in his office/home/school -- given the hour. I factored in to a certain extent in my posts that most of the workers were a) ignorant of what to do, b) didn't bother talking to anyone of authority since they count on Jiminy / others, to guide/lead. The two primary points of contact, which likely will be spotted by 'Gunt' in his Fly By, are the most useful candidates there.
3) Dunno about Dennis, but he's likely in Factory One? Which wasn't really affected-- this is happening primarily in Factory Two, and at this point, after work hours have ended. I don't believe anyone beyond Wyrd 'resides' in the Factories, per say.
The lack of communication is an important point, and additionally-- radio jamming just fell on the area, so, no "ET Phone Home" potential at this point and walking into a new devil looking guy's office isn't exactly high on a lot of people's lists. (This is semi-intentional, otherwise, I've completely mistaken the setting as being VERY open to meta-human, non-humans and outsiders of all shapes and sizes as being perfectly acceptable.)
Will post feedback on the Fly By soon-- if you wanted to throw in a few Perception rolls, just for reference, that'll help guide my response some.
Appreciate the effort to 'stir' the pot, but not looking for immediate, zomg, I port there and fix all the things now! Sometimes things are better when they unfold 'naturally'.
@Monkeygod:
Hey there, remind me what your Silirus (sp) guy looks like? I keep remembering him having insect wings. Not sure why that stuck in my craw, as it were, if that's the appropriate slang for head.
Cheers.
Quick jump in here. But not for long. Errands and such. Free time later. Anyhow, Dennis is in town right now. He's been helping Kuros rebuild their infrastructure from a more administrative point of view. And yes, radio silence is key. The factories are a couple miles out of town. To walk that will take quite a while. Even if someone was running it, they're still several minutes out. And then they have to find the relevant people and so on. Didn't realize Wyrd was still in town but it makes sense. I know he has a workshop/ forge in factory 3 (it's the r&d building) so he may be sad about his stuff getting trashed. And Dami, I uh, think you got the buildings wrong? The hangar is not affected. And the r&d building (factory 3) is just starting to be affected. Most of the shenanigans are in building two, but also building one which is where most of the recent hires, unskilled labor types work. At least based on what you previously described, there should still be shenanigans in building one. *shrug* I feel like I need to draw you guys a map. :)

Hey there, no worries.
My 'mental' map was:
Factory One / Building One -- Not as Technological, thus, lesser target, now being assaulted
Factory Two / Building Two -- Easiest/Efficient target, plus higher tech, assault underway
Factory Three / Building Three -- Difficult Target, possible start of assault
Obviously, this is all OOC, but -- I tried to elude to that in the posts so far.
And yeah, I did figure the buildings/campus was miles out, plus no vehicles, per say-- which makes for more complications in a 'walk lots' setting.
ps: I love maps. :)

Rouge genius games sale
17+ k pages of games for 30 bucks (normally roughly 600)
link
I've been reading and it's been giving me ideas,
Zix is getting some of the feats for mage armor and the rune stuff also looks cool, but I don't know regarding that
Michel and Sadie should probably at least glance at the shield spell feats book
I vaguely remember a true namer a little while back that could use the expanded lore and spells from the book on power word spells (multiple for each level, but most aren't very strong.)
dave is going to be retraining some of his feats and the book on pride has a couple interesting ones I might grab
MG could maybe use the book on witch knives and the one on new witch hexes for his new character
Is this what you're looking for Dami?
Is this what you're looking for Dami?
Wow, awesome-- some of that tech term throws me off, but yes, perfect. Nice visuals too. The LIDAR and FLDAR for example. I think your post covered that one. My assuming is that it 'sends' out a scan, versus merely picking things up. Can't quite do IR without some emitters.
I'm effectively looking to find out what sort of Active Sensors they have (emission of waves/packets) versus passive (reading incoming stuff) and if they would emit any sort of radiation/energy to sensitive scanners.
Assuming some manner of nuclear, or fission reactor? or what sort of power source?
That I don't know. Probably cold fusion, since its powerful, small, and safe, and Jiminy could use his reality-bending powers to make it a thing.
Other than that, probably some kind of a high efficiency turbine that burns reactant (fuel) to provide power and thrust.
It probably has a passive proximity and radiation sensor. LiDAR is basically a version of RADAR that uses light instead of sound, but is more effective in space where the light isn't refracted/affected by the atmosphere. I don't think it has anything fancy like bio filters or things of that nature. It might have something weather related, though.
There's also the MK I eyeball.
I don't appreciate being accused of trying to 'stir the pot'.
I was just trying to give players who I knew had PCs who might be around a heads up.
It is easy to forget or overlook stuff, especially when its all in spoilers.

I certainly didn't mean 'stir the pot' in a negative way, Monkeygod, I was actually thanking you for giving that situation attention.
It's just a phrase, doesn't automatically imply bad-- after all, a good stew needs stirring for the tasty meal! Or chili.
It was your seeming implication with what you said afterwards, about heroes porting in to save the day, that made me think otherwise.
It totally sounded like you thought I might have been trying to ruin your plot by making aware the super (N)PCs of what was going on so they could show up and fix everything with their high level powers.

So I reviewed the system I kickstarted, MajiMonsters, and THIS is Late Knight Games' response. Mere hours later.
I found my new favorite gaming company.
Love your new avvy, DB3. :)
Dami, MG, I hope that the misunderstanding is all cleared up? I'm sure nobody actually meant to insult anybody else. Print can be an imprecise medium since we lack the cues of vocal tone and body language (on the plus side, no eye contact required!) and we all end up speaking at cross-purposes now and then.
I will try to see if I can get a general map of the area around Kuros, the factories, and Avalon posted to campaign info this weekend. But I make no promises. Things keep sucking up all my time lately it seems. :/
I got used to the lax summer schedule, and now I'm having trouble adjusting as things are ramping up in preparation for school starting again. So many appointments and shopping trips. And, and, and. And we'll still have to make a massive school supply shopping list the first day of school as everyone has special requests about the exact type of folders and binders kids are supposed to bring to their classes. Ridiculous ideas. Nobody actually needs a 3" binder. Nobody. It just makes it so the blasted things won't fit into the backpack. >.<

Yep, Shared my intent. Read his impressions. Done. Totally agree with you, Lynora. Plus communication is a two way street, people sometimes choose to drive on the wrong side based on so many factors.
:)
Read new posts. Replied to some questions. Fell asleep on keyboard. Yeah, I think that's it for tonight. I am just no good at typing responses while asleep. :P

Dedication is demonstrated by key imprints on face? Heh.
At least we can be thankful that the website doesn't telepathically pick up the input, in a sleepy state-- that'd be both potentially awesome, and scary, but thrilling for dream research.
Apologies for my late return to posting.
With great travel comes great exhaustion (and an even greater pile of work to catch up on upon my return). (-_-)
Would you be alright if Arthur puts his hands shoulder width apart on the cylinder to analyze it and you come out right between those arms?
I remember his rolls to identify the thing they were 52 for know (engineering and architecture)/diplomacy on the object to get it to tell me what it is
28 for know (alien), 26 for know (arcana) and a Psionic casting of identify.
that sounds good to me, will have to check gameplay to see if you posted this already.
Okay, I think I caught up on my PMs. If you're still waiting on a reply from me, let me know. I answered a lot of stuff piecemeal so I might have missed one if it was in between two that I had already answered. I hate when I get behind like that, but it's been a busy week. Next week will also be busy. It's basically a madhouse until school starts. Which isn't until the day after Labor Day. But hey, I think we've got all the school supplies we can get before we get the crazy lists on the first day. :)
(Other schools give lists ahead of time. Ours is still figuring out schedules the morning of, let alone supply lists. :P )

Lets see
Zix needs Marcel's response to him saying Marcel needs more training
My nameless bird dragon man needs for the doctor child to tell him why he thinks he's a doctor (and to continue petting him... Uh only if you want to... I don't like it or anything...)
Arthur: gleefully spinning a girl around in his arms. Fairly exhausted, (there's only so much Hermes can do to get him to rest when even when he's sleeping he'll half the time make his way to a workstation to build random things)
Lucas: waiting on the arrows to decide which cousin he's closest to while carrying his little sister (the cute one)
David: working on his ship, unless someone comes to him he's content to stay there until it's time to sleep
Chao: I don't know. It's hard to fit him in places.
I just made my 17000th post.
Holy crap I have no life.
.... And yet, I'm strangely happy about that fact.
Are we talking with or without aliases? Cause my aliases are generally speaking way more chatty than I am.... ;P
Yeah, the disparity used to be bigger actually, but the time I spend posting with my main alias in this thread has actually made up a lot of the difference over time. :)
Not that it actually matters one way or the other. I just find it funny that I post less than half of the time as myself. ^.^
So tired. This was the day from hell for me. So many phone calls. And appointments. And people. *shudder* People should be interacted with from the other side of a screen. Not in person. Too much!
*collapses* ;P
Seems like somone could use some magic shattered.
... Or at least I can work off some stress trying.
Sup, four other Champions, that have been noticeably quiet...
Thus, plot thickens, bum, bum, bum, bum.
Do try to keep it down, will you? I'm thinking.
<casts Silence on Alton> Better? Oh, wait, you can't hear me or reply haha :P
*throws up a few sign language gestures*
@Kryzbyn:
Curiously -- in your post, which 'base' do you mean or the Factories in general? As a reminder, there were those two 'humanoids' you scanned before landing just outside Factory Two.
Additionally, how far out are you parking this shuttle from said base?
@Lynora:
What is Elektra doing? I seem to have lost track of her among all those other posts happening back at the kidnapping location.
Toodles.
Elektra is with Ghalen. He mentioned her in his last post.
"Base" is whichever factory they launch from. If there is a separate facility or hangar for the mecha/shuttles, then that's base.
As I said in one of the posts, they land 1 kilometer south of "base", then head in on foot.

From what I understand, the Mech factory is Factory Three. One kilo out, got it.

Thanks.
I was prompted Lynora to add her NPC's post (or PC's). Hell, she could have stayed with the shuttle for all I know. :)

Nope. 3 is r&d. Where mechs are built. 4 is the hangar where completed mechs are stored and where the control center is housed.
Hopefully will have time for actual posts later, but wanted to clear up the confusion before it got more out of hand. :)

Okay, so four buildings. :)
Pretty sure prior posts aren't affected then -- Factory Two had the initial oddities and 'dome' that Ghalen spotted with his IRDAR (or however), and Ghalen is likely heading towards Building Four per my understanding at the moment.
Factory One and Three did get some scattered reports, mostly verbal, but power is on-- area is being jammed, however, so that'd be noticed right off, though not from 'where' since it's not a directional thing as much as an AoE thing.
Sweet. Just waiting on folks to get in range of Factory Two, talk to the NPCs or do something else (like a x time passes before nefarious NPC plot changes stages. :D)
Sorry for the slowness on my part. I will update things soon. Life is hellish right now.
Crude map of general area
i love that Avalon is apparently a many towered badass castle.
Definitely not how I pictured it, and if it's NOT that way, it is now lol

Well it is made of stone and inspired by Hogwarts more than a little. With I must admit some influence from howls moving castle. :)
