Based on my knowledge of the skeleton’s inner workings, is it a fully self-contained unit, or does it receive its “programming” from somewhere else the way a Rockafire Explosion bot would?
The audio animatronics featured in Pirates' Landing are fully self-contained units. They are miracle of old-school Mousineering!
I've just been told that I'll be travelling with work on Weds-Fri this week. I'll do my best to post but opportunities may be scarce.
When is it our next turn, btw? Or is it already?
I was waiting for Mortimer to post before I make a move, but you can go ahead and make another move now and I'll factor that in to the next post.
There aren't any "turns" in this game, per se. The onus is on the players to make moves, and I interpret the results. If you fail a move, then I can counter with a so-called "hard move" which gives you consequences for your failure.
If Mortimer hasn't posted in a few hours, I will move things along.
Sorry if I’m hogging the combat, just figure Helen’s got the advantage here and at this point she has a vested interest in bashing this thing to pieces.
To my knowledge, do the service corridors in here continue throughout the entire ride? (Meaning, could Henry and I use them to catch up to the boat as it heads to the next area?)
The corridors don't go through the entire ride. You could use them to get to the area just past the waterfall to catch up on the other side though, if you hurry!
We haven't heard from you in a little while. Mortimer. Are you still with us?

Damn. Now I really want to run a Skull and Shackles game. And I don't have time to run another PbP...
Is the pathway where the voices are coming from the only accessible exit to the room that we're aware of right now? (Not including the tunnel that the boat just flew out of.)
You can cross the track and take a passage behind the boat on the opposite wall to try to sneak past them, though doing so would require you to be bold and daring to avoid detection.
One other question (not sure how well I know the layout of this ride): do these two passages have doors, and if so, which way do they open?
There are doors that open outward, so in theory you could try to barricade them from this side to prevent anything from coming through them.
SORRY! I am still alive and well! Give me a few hours and I should be able to post! I should be able to post at least once a day now so again, sorry!
Glad to have you back Mortimer!
Helen is still one point away from a full success, but you or Henry could still try to help her if you want.

Glad to be back!
And thank you Henry, for saving Mortimer from death! I know it looked like I ditched you guys there, so thanks for keeping me in the game!
Although, I'm assuming Leti won't be joining?
Seeing as he hasn't posted anything in a few weeks, it would seem he's backed out.
Are we still hearing screams from further into the ride?
Every so often, though they are becoming less and less frequent...
Wanna get permission from Henry before I try fixing the tablet, since there's a chance I'll make things worse.
It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission :-)
ha! go right ahead
One other question re: the tablet diagnostic. Did it indicate anything about how the boat's increase in speed came about? Trying to determine if it's the same weirdness affecting the animatronics or if Ethan just pulled the wrong lever.

Wrong lever! I don't even know why we have that lever!
best disney movie ever!
Does the village scene have some sort of control panel setup somewhere that I'm aware of? Wondering if I can create a distraction with the lights or other technology to help us sneak past.
If you succeed on FINDING SOMETHING THERE THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE, then you can find a panel like that.
I'll wait till everybody rolls their checks to get past the pirates to determine what happens. Still need rolls for Jen and Mortimer.
Is the stream between us and the robots, or are we on the same side as them?
Opposite side.
Is there a door leading to the next area? (One that could potentially be barricaded after we all make it through)
Yes, you could try that trick.
Not certain if Henry's assistance roll applies to my previous Be Bold and Daring or if I'll need to make a new roll to help Greg escape.
I'll let it apply retroactively. I'll update in a little while. :)
What move would it be to try and throw/push the robots into the water so they (hopefully!) short out? Be bold and daring, or Go the distance?
Definitely Be Bold and Daring if they are unaware of your presence. After you make the first attempt to push them in, though, then it would be a roll to Break Some Femurs, since they'll be trying to harm you, and you'd have to roll 10+ to be able to physically force them where you want them.
I'm staying hidden for two reasons.
1. Secret weapon of sorts.
2.Mortimer would cower in fear in this situation!
I was waiting to see if Helen or Jen would post. I will update in the morning regardless.
Oops - I genuinely thought this scene was done and was waiting on you. My bad.
I'm still here, don't worry!
I work best building off other people so I'm waiting for someone else to post...
Sorry all - had an emergency at work. Heading home now for some sleep but will post later today.
quick update: I have to travel for the next few days (3/11-3/15) and I'm unsure of internet access. I'll do my best to check in when I can. Please bot me as needed.
Still here! I'll wait for the next scene to post.
Yeah, think we're waiting on the Great Mouse
Sorry, got caught up in some other games. I will post by Monday morning for sure!
I will be on a cruise next week from 4/1-4/6 without Internet access. It will likely take me till the following Monday or Tuesday to get caught up and resume posting.
Hi.
I'm sorry to say I gotta drop out of this game. It was fun, and a fantastic concept, but I have some other games I want to focus on. I hope the game doesn't die due to lack of posting and I want to say thanks for letting me join!
