Want to apologize for my disappearing. It was a bit outside my control. The basics are that I lost my apartment, my job, and nearly all of my possessions in one fell swoop. And not with anything as simple as a fire. I got fired and suddenly the debt piled on like...</p>
<p>Well it was bad. Still sort of is. I'm barely hanging in right now and I don't think I'll be lasting much longer. I've got no cash, don't know a single honest employer in the area I can trust not to screw me over, and my mental issues are such that it's sometimes hard to even leave me current apartment. (Found one, eventually, but paying for rent has been hell).</p>Hey guys, how are you all doing? Want to apologize for my disappearing. It was a bit outside my control.

To swim in the armor he wore would have been silly. Anthony took the potion and then simply jumped in, grateful he had spent a lot of the two days on the ship seeing to prep work so that his armor and shield would be better able to handle the water. Anthony did not swim, but he could walk, and with the potion and the weight of the armor it was actually much easier then swimming.</p>
<p>At the cave in sight, Anthony saw that he wasn't the only one eying the rubble looking for weak points and stronger points. He moved to stand beside Jae and pointed to another rock, <b>"That one might come loose, so someone will have to hold it. Shane, while I pull free the other rock can you keep that one still?"</b></p>
<p><span class="messageboard-dice"><b>TI as Know: Eng; Aid Jae:</b></span> <span class="messageboard-dice">1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15</span></p>
<p>Though he liked to think with numbers, Anthony was not the type to leave someone behind, especially not a fellow constable. He moved into position and waited until Shane was ready as well. After a moments thought he paused and removed his hands from the rock, then set Scrapper down beside him, who immediately stood straight and opened it's arms and legs. The robot, on his direction, moved to stand beside him and help.</p>
<p>It was around now that Nicodemus was feeling a little ashamed. He had brought a good assortment of gear, but he was an engineer. There were two things he should have had on him at all times and he knew it. When he got back, Anthony would be correcting this mistake immediately and requisitioning both a pulley and a crowbar to use as a makeshift lever. How could he forget the most simplistic tools was beyond him, but it went to show that he still had more to learn.</p>Anthony did not swim. To swim in the armor he wore would have been silly.

Life got crazy again and wow you guys have perfect timing for picking up the pace when it does. I'll be posting soon, within the next day or so, since there looks like a lot of reading to be done.</p>
<p>If anyone is curious, my absence is because, when my internet company found out I made money by doing work online, they tried to 'correct' the plan I had with them, which included a business plan with a more 'stable' connection so they couldn't be held liable for losses and another 40 dollars a month added to the bill.</p>
<p>Suffice to say, I went to another company and didn't have internet for a while because of it.

Judging by what she was saying this was going to be a long mission. <b>"I'm less worried about the occupants of the fort then I am of the journey there.

The advantage of coming at the fort from behind that gives us is decent, but it's not without risk before first contact with the enemy."</b></p>
<p>The large man seemed to think it over, scratching his scars lightly, and then he touched his finger down to the sea cave. <b>"You mentioned a source. Is it reliable? Any chance that part of the mine might have been cut off by cave in since the source was there?

It was hard to tell if Ralf was actually being rude or if he genuinely had that little interest in the lead of the mission. Either way it was a problem in an organization like this, but of the group Ralf had a particularly unique set of skills. Tony hoped that wouldn't go to the mans head... or hadn't already.</p>
<p>Rather then wait and let the others speak, Anthony took the chance to step forward this time, while also setting down some bags. <b>"Anthony Zeitlin. I've done a few simpler infiltration missions with Constable Grey and her team when I was a consultant but nothing quite like this."</b></p>
<p>Anthony gave Ralf a look the man wouldn't see while he was straining to listen and continued. <b>"That one is Ralf. The ladies behind me are Jaelynn and Aziel. Then there's Shane. And finally Tarvak, our newest."</b></p>
<p>Anthony spent a moment nodding to each in the order he had introduced him. The other team probably knew their names, being in charge of this mission, but it was still polite to introduce yourself. Especially to peers and one in particular who would be leading this mission. Tony turned to look back at Everett. He wasn't quite as tall or wide as Big Dan but he still ended up looking down at most people. <b>"Most of my experiences are gang hideouts. The only infiltration I've done was to get hostages out and that's not a common tactic...

He was a decent had when it came to those of rank in their nations class system but the military was a bit different. He had little experience dealing with them and even less talking to them directly. Usually it was him being shuffled off. He winced a little, however, when mention was made of how far they were going. It was the furthest he had ever been from the city and while he was eager to do good work and curious about the ship they'd be on, Anthony was a city boy at heart.</p>
<p>He sighed and followed the others, hefting his and the rest of the groups sacks. Even with his armor on he was by far the most capable of carrying heavy stuff. They'd have to carry it on the mission but for now he was happy to do it for them. Shane, he knew, was pretty strong as well. He was actually a bit curious to speak to the man as well. The way he moved intrigued Anthony and the larger engineer was wondering if he himself might be able to learn something from it. Already he had ideas but he would need more then that to get anything solid.</p>Anthony was happy to let the others do the talking.

I had him aiding his friend and fellow constable, Susan, in his downtime when I wrote it so he probably got a small chunk out of that for rent. Sure, he's a constable now, but there is such a thing as overtime! (Speaking of, I really have to rewrite his backstory). Anthony tends to spend about half his night in his workshop in the basement so I'd count that as part of his living quarters.

<p>So, looking back over the first Gameplay page quickly, it looks like this is the first time everyone else has "requisitioned", and so has Tarvak. Just wanted to make sure Tarvak hadn't done anything different than everyone else. But I thought it was more WBL/level-up income, and pocketed the extra GP. I'll convert that into extra equipment tomorrow morning (real-time).</p>
<p>P.S. - I'm surprised RHC didn't give us for free, nor has anyone (that's posted so far) requisitioned Cure X Wounds potions. Guess we're all depending on Ralf? No pressure, Ralf. :)</p>
<p>P.P.S. - Or do I have a vague recollection of someone talking about getting a wand? Don't have any more time to look today. Another good reason for everyone to post what they're requisitioning. But still, there's no guarantee you'll be near the person with the wand (or Ralf) when you need some healing... </blockquote><p>They just gave us a salary/requisition option of a 1,000 gold. That might not seem like much as PC's who will be adventuring, but from the perspective of the common citizen, that is about two to three years of inn's and fine dining. So they're trusting us to pick up potions if we think we'll need it.Tarvak wrote:Regarding first level creation, Karl did say you got the max GP for your class (couple hundred GP at best) for a weapon and armor and such.

We don't keep or earn treasure. Anything we do find gets turned over at the end of the mission, though you have the option of attempting to requisition it at cost in the future.</p>
<p>I think it's assumed that any gear you 'start with' is coming out of what they're allocating to you. Either 'you were too poor before hand to have armor' or in 'you've already got armor so you're getting a little less then the others'. So I believe that Shanes requisition form might be a little off because it fails to account for items you already have on you. If the WBL became additive we'd be far ahead of it far too quickly, after all.</p>
<p>Speaking of, Anthony will have...</p>
<p>Requisition
<br />
-Research Investment (200 gold)
<br />
-Breastplate (200 gold)
<br />
-Armored Kilt (20 gold)
<br />
-Elixir of Underwater Breathing (250 gold)
<br />
-Masterwork Warhammer (310 gold)
<br />
-Shield, heavy steel (20 gold)</p>
<p>Misc
<br />
Fish hook and fishing line, compass, Steel Mirror, 3 candles, 1 dose vermin repellent, waterproof vial with 5 tindertwigs, belt pouch, grappling hook, and 100 feet of silk rope.</p>
<p>Total- 1,000 gold</p>

It felt like a shoulder on his hand or even less conspicuous, another person at his back. Not nearly as disquieting as he thought it might be. There was a purpose to this beyond simply getting the feel for it as well. Anthony knew for a fact that he was incapable of magic, despite his once knowledge of it. He wanted to make sure that despite that lack he could do as Ralf said. Tony pushed, unconsciously rolling his shoulder, and he felt the subtle presence vanish.</p>
<p>If Ralf thought it was odd, Tony was quite used to the idea of being helped by one so much smaller. One of his closest friends and a fellow constable now was Susan, a woman who barely made it past four feet and somehow looked good doing it. Despite his size, Anthony would never take her on in a fair fight, no matter how good he got or how many inventions were allowed. He tilted his head to the side, moving his thoughts through his mind carefully looking for any hint of that subtle presence, then finally nodded when he found none. <b>"Much less unpleasant then the screening we had to get in. Still going to take a while to get used to."</b></p>
<p>Anthony nods again, more slowly this time, and then reaches out to clap Ralf on the shoulder gently. <b>"Thanks. Is there anything else I should know? Perhaps exercises I should practice, meditation or the like, that might make the task easier for you?"</b></p>Anthony took a deep breath and focused intently on the subtle presence in his mind.

It made sense, but only from the perspective of someone who never wore armor. With a smile he clarified why he was, well, smiling and chuckling. <b>"If I could simply put my armor out in the battlefield and have it take the hits I would, Jaelynn. But so long as I'm wearing it I'm still the one getting hit."</b></p>
<p>Technically Scrapper -was- his armor on the battlefield without him, but the limited range it accepted commands and the poor responses it could simulate made it an imperfect solution. At best, it allowed him to be in two places at once. At worst, it was something he had to pick up and run with when things got dangerous. </p>
<p>When Jaelynn finally voted <i>for</i> putting Anthony in the collective, the large, scarred man wasn't certain whether he felt relieved or nervous. The very idea of it wasn't as foreign to him as one might expect. 'Magic' of the mind wasn't exactly common but his folks were reknowned noble magic users, so it didn't quite bother him the way it might others less familiar with magic. Still, he had some reservations all the same. In the end it amounted to how much he trusted Ralf... Admittedly, not much, given that his only experience with the fellow so far was a bit of training for a 'Dockers Jank' and a mission where Anthony spent most of his time in the boiler room. But if he never gave the guy a chance that would never change. </p>
<p>He looked toward Ralf and waited, wondering what exactly being 'added' to this collective might entail. This gave the newbie a good chance to see the rather bad burn scars on that side of his face. Anthony hadn't introduced himself yet, but he was still weighing how to do it. The guy seemed rather jittery and someone of Anthony's size might very well make him rabbit.</p>Anthony chuckled at Jaelynn's thought process.

He hadn't actually been using them because he thought he might need the rush. It was a trick Susan had taught him to get equipment faster. So long as he didn't use it every time he filed requisitions, which was often enough thanks to his research, the clerks in charge tended to overlook frequent blue forms. </p>
<p>Slowly, so as to avoid being seen by the others, Anthony hid the completed blue forms in his desk. He had forgotten to tell them about that trick or even the use of the blue forms and felt bad about it, truly, but it seemed like it might cause less trouble if they didn't <i>know</i> he had forgotten.</p>
<p>With a cough, he looked back toward the others again and rejoined the conversation, his normally silent process of thinking things through not meshing well with the group dynamic. <b>"I realize it didn't work out that way before but I do plan on taking the brunt of hits... Which seems rather stupid when I say it aloud, but still. Out of all of us I can probably handle it the best. Would that 'slot' in your collective best be served on those who want to avoid hits or the one trying to make a target of himself?"</b></p>
<p>It didn't just sound stupid now, it sounded horribly stupid. But looking at the others, Anthony knew that he was probably the only one actually capable of taking more then a hit or two. They had all seen action but not quite the out and out brawls that Anthony had participated in while aiding Susans Unit in the past. He looked to the others after a moment, far more socially aware then their resident high functioning scary elf, and added, <b>"No offense meant, of course.

While he was part of Unit 11 he still had some expertise to offer, so he often got to see Susan. Granted, now he was an official member, and a rooky at that, regulations kept him from actually being an active part in investigations... But he still managed to consult on two cases, his experience and growing knowledge of technology offering a different perspective. And a cheaper one, he noticed. Though they were giving him everything he had requested for research, including 200 gold worth of Adamantine, the paychecks he was getting were a little less meaty then the one's he'd get as a consultant. Damnable salary. He made more by the hour.</p>
<p>Ontop of that, he spent some time training with his friend Carl, and fixing the idiots prosthetic. More drunken fights, more muggers and gang brawls, more of everything. Guy never knew when to quit. Out of the group it seemed to Anthony like he was the busiest. He had a routine before Unit 11 and the down time, while crappy from a professional perspective, really just gave him time to focus on the things he already did. Considering he finally had that funding for his next big invention, that wasn't so bad.</p>
<p>Still, when he came into the office and found Delft looking happy for the first time in weeks, Tony was curious. What followed was... Less then inspiring. Jaelynn got the answer moments before he did, thanks to her expertise in magic, but Tony had seen it more as a mechanical problem. His own idea would actually have involved placing some of the portals underground to protect them as well since he was more of a strategist. But with the question answered it didn't seem prudent to 'one up' one of his colleagues, or at least be thought of as trying to even if that wasn't the case, so he bit his tongue and listened to their assignment. </p>
<p>Anthony's first thought was <i>'amphibious infiltration'</i>. That bothered him. As a man who liked armor, and lots of it, the idea of having to swim to their target was not appealing. Ontop of that, it still raised the question of how. Magic, perhaps? Tony looked toward Jaelynn, a woman he guessed had some experience with spell work thanks to the after-action reports she had given along with Ralf. <b>"Any chance you'd know about some sort of spell that could make a water strike easier? All I can think of is a very dark boat and even that won't be as good as coming up from the water itself."</b></p>Anthony spent his two weeks doing what he always did, plus a bit of paper work.

His experimenting had cost him, if not money, time. And even despite arriving late he still looked tired. He had ignored the criers out on the street, too busy thinking about idea's. The simple one he had worked out last night but seeing that ship... Anthony knew he'd be getting a lot less sleep over the coming months. First, to see to the paper work. </p>
<p>As he entered the office and made his way toward his desk in Unit 11's area, the man looked over the others. Aziel was here, but no one else yet, so perhaps he wasn't as late as he thought. With a nod toward he sat down at his own desk and silently pulled out some paperwork. Then he frowned at it and himself. Paperwork. Blight it, such an odd thing for him to be doing. All the same, he filled out the basics. It meant less for operations but it had been one of his requirements for joining. </p>
<p>When he was done he took that chance to lean back in his chair and relax. To the uninformed, it might have looked like he was sleeping. But those in the know knew that it was called 'resting your eyes'. It was all the rage, and Anthony, though not lazy, thought he'd give it a go to see how he liked it.</p>Anthony arrived later then he normally did. His experimenting had cost him, if not money, time.

Broader backgrounds cover more skills but seem less likely to allow for specialization (which is what I talk about next). Because our DM likes RP, we can also try and use our better Ability scores if we can come up with a good reason for how it ties into backgrounds. </p>
<p>Anthony uses Intelligence a lot for active perception, because he's all about puzzles and spacial observation being a 'Technological Investigator'. But I don't think that would apply to perception rolls when he's not actively searching or on watch because it's about focus. Someone who just has a broad background with perception in general might not be able to do this. But someone with... a 'Scout' background might be able to use Intelligence all the time, because of all their experience on the job. This isn't law by the way, just my interpretation of the Background skills so far, and some of the things it mentions, like how broad backgrounds are a little more varied but less flavorful/focused on telling a part of the character.</p>
<p>The background points we have are an extra bonus. They are akin to the class bonus, only as good or bad as we want them to be. The system lets you play without having to worry too much about how few skill points you get. It means that no one and everyone is the skill monkey. As a frontliner, I don't really have the spare feats for those feats either, at least not for a long while (10 levels?), so it basically means we're all on even footing with skills. Which I honestly prefer because, as a player who loves being on the frontlines, I'm used to being entirely useless outside of battle. Not very fun.</p>To me, it seems like you get a 'skill point' in every skill relevant to your backgrounds every level.

It had been warranted, the officer thought, as he headed home. The nights events were certainly still swimming through his mind. But that wasn't the only thing that was doing so. </p>
<p>The beauty of that ship was amazing. So much so that Anthony felt a little inspired. The complexity of it all was beyond his meager skills for the moment but not so far beyond that he couldn't grasp anything of it. The way the metal was worked in particular had caught his eye. When he got home, instead of sleeping, the constable spent a good two hours down in his 'lab' with Scrapper and his shield. It took a while, but by the time he did go to bed he felt Scrapper as well as his shield were both improved for it. The little simulacrum sat at the foot of his bed, between him and the door. It was active, ready to accept a command the moment Anthony gave it. Ontop of having his hammer on his dresser it was an extra precaution against burglary or cut throats. Perhaps a little paranoid, but his last residence had been burned to the ground by arsonists.</p>
<p>He gave the shield on Scrapper one last look. The sleek design of the ship that had inspired him, cutting through the waters, gave him an idea on how to work his metal shields. By curving it in certain area's, and with the right timing, it could help deflect things that would normally just punch right through the armor. An additional counter measure lining his coat worked much like some of the other decks, with multiple thinner layers to slow impact. All in all, quite useful, the man thought, in a world that had the likes of firearms. </p>
<p>He yawned as weariness finally took him. The work had helped him disconnect from the danger of the events today, let him put that all into perspective. Now, thinking back, he could look over all the details of the day more clearly. A reliable team. A surprising enemy. Dangerous plots. Everything he had hoped for in this line of work.</p>Anthony seemed very calm when things settled down, though only a few moments in the boiler room had really seen that calm crack a little.
