Vonash's page

I enjoyed the game. Thanks for running it.

And thanks to all the players for making it fun

Vonash trusts Ursol and she really isn't a top spy or anything of the sort.

So yes, I'd try and tell him what happened. That I'm from an alternate time line. Of course, Vonash doesn't really understand everything that is happening and so she may get things a little confused in the process :-).

"Ursol, this is going to be really hard to explain. I don't quite follow it myself. Let me tell you what happened from my point of view.A few weeks ago [She'd give the correct date] I was approached with a strange job offer. Apparently time travel is real and they wanted my expertise. So, uh, I want back into time to fix an anomaly. Which we did. We then came back into what, from my point of view, is a different time line. In this one I died, in mine I didn't. I'm not quite the same Vonash as you knew but I'm very close, especially in personality. I even guessed my own password.

I know, its weird. But I'm hoping that THIS Ursol trusts THIS Vonash as much as mine trusted me. I know that I, literally, trust the other Ursol with my life and I'm extending that same trust to you"

All of that is sincere

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Whoops, I thought you went to speak with Ursus, the prisoner turned into a bear-person by Moreau. Cut that whole bit then.

** spoiler omitted **

Yup, too many uplifted bear people :-). Sorry about that. It seemed a good idea in my backhistory at the time :-) :-)

I think we may have been talking past each other. I intended to go speak to Ursol, her best friend and confidante, an uplifted bear who actually owns the wilderness area that she is the game warden for

I think that I'm back, this time for good. I very sincerely apologize for just having gone dark. There were excuses but they don't really matter. It was my fault and, again, I'm sorry.

Not sure how it is best for Vonash to reenter the story. Totally willing to go along with what you wish. If you have no better ideas, I'd probably go and talk to Ursol and see if he knows where all her extra money comes from

I'm sorry that I haven't posted for awhile. Life got really, really crazy and I just didn't have time and/or net access. I should be able to catch up on all my games tomorrow

"Whatever we do we should NOT do the senators bidding. I don't trust that bastard at all. Trying to contact Carson and Dr Brennan seems like a good idea to me"

Sorry for my going quiet.

My power has been out since Monday (and is still out). Will catch up when I can. Please bot me until then

"Yeah, like I'm going to believe anything with THAT many holes in it.
These guys don't sound like saints, but the Senator pretty clearly wants to use us to do his dirty business.

I say we contact these guys and get their side of the story. And by "We" I mean, uh, darn. We're ALL aliens or androids, aren't we? Uh, maybe use a com link without video so they don't notice?"

"I really don't like this. Gabriel, can you scan for bombs? Can anybody else?"

She then ducks behind whatever would protect her most from a bomb (pillar, something like that)

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Snicker

Vonash backs off. A lot

"Be careful, there is something VERY strange here. It is like nobody is home!"

Yup. Paizo was down :-(

A little earlier
"I'm quite willing to try and scan the senators thoughts if you want. Its NOT risk free but may be worth the risk. Its up to you, I'm not going to do it unless you agree. If I do that, we should have a signal. So you can ask leading questions as I do it"

Seeing the person, Vonash thinks he looks strange. She moves so that he can see her, deliberately moving more sexily and provocatively than normal, and watches carefully how he reacts

sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

"Agreed. Lets get out of here!"

save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Oops

Vonash grabs some hunky looking guy (or perhaps 2) and heads out onto the dance floor as well.

No particular agenda here at the moment, mostly just relaxing and letting off steam

Vonash is curious who is at the one table and will try to sidle a little closer so that she can get a look.

Not sure what roll that would be so I'll just roll a d20 and list various modifiers that may apply :-)
whatever: 1d20 ⇒ 5
+7 diplo, +8 bluff, +10 perception

Vonash would first try to figure out her pin

sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

If that didn't work, she'd use her retinal scan.

She'd also send a text message to one of the more technologically inclined group members (Jade and Ueda) asking them if they can get more information on The Sanctuary. Who is behind it, what animals are housed there, etc.

Vonash would insert her PIN (a little more deniable).

Also, having seen the Sanctuary sign she'd quickly check online as to what that is. And what the Return to Nature movement is all about

"I know of a really good nightclub near here. At least, it was good in my world. Lets check"

She quickly looks up the club : Malgudi Times

"According to the reviews it still looks like its pretty good. Maybe a touch working class but I think we can all handle that, right? Good music. Non sexist and non racist. Very accepting. Or so the reviews go. With KILLER music! And great drugs"

She calls for a cab and the three go off to The Malgudi Times

Vonash heads over to the TV room

"We definitely need to wear period appropriate costumes, yes. And Kitty, I think that we have to try and disguise you a bit so you don't stand out too much in public. I mean, you're incredibly beautiful but you'd attract notice!. Hmm, a hat and some clothing would be a good start"

I'm assuming that there are NO non solar system races at this point. Is this essentially correct? And how hard would it be to disguise Kittys face so it isn't obviously alien?

Eventually Vonash wakens up and decides to explore the new world that she is a part of.

She spends some time reading the dossier on this worlds Vonash.

"Gabriel, are we allowed to leave the base? Has the work been put in place yet to "resurrect" me? I've got to get out of here and go get some fresh air"

She also tries her comm unit to see if it can get in touch with Scera

"Scera? This is Vonash. I need to get out of here and see a little of this place that isn't this base. Assuming I get permission, do you want to go exploring with me a little?"

Sorry for being so passive right now. But I figure that is how Vonash would have handled the stress

Vonash has a good nights sleep, remarkably undisturbed by dreams. Scera's message seems to have made it into her unconscious and helped to reassure her

Seeing the explosion, seeing the children blasted into atoms, Vonash collapses to the floor in a dead faint.

Is Ueda-Prime ACTUALLY looking at Vonash or just generally in her direction?

Hmm. Since things are frozen is this one of those strange times where we can take 20 on perception?. If we can, Vonash takes 20. If not

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Vonash will turn and look where Ueda-Prime may be looking
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

"I don't care what anybody says, I'm pretty sure MY timeline is the original one and this is some bizarro like alternate universe. I wish I could just go home."

Vonash realizes that the high she has been experiencing may be starting to wear off

Vonash goes into the hologram and tries to stand EXACTLY where the hologram of herself is.

"This is just cool. And kinda freaky too"

"Hmm, this version of me seems a little timid. Ah. I can work with that. Will have to tone down my wardrobe a little for awhile I guess."

Vonash is happy and mellow, smoking the occasional toke (more to stay in her current state than trying to get more stoned). After about an hour she stands up and heads to the lift

"So, you lot coming to see what the Ronnies have for us?"

Regardless, she gets in the lift and heads down

Right now, Vonash is in a very mellow and accomodating mood

"Ok Scera, you probably know best." and she watches as the senator leaves

To the others, telepathically
"So, should I or shouldn't I try to read him? Ah, what the heck"

I'll wait until tomorrow. If nobody has objected by then, I'll try and read his thoughts. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? :-)

"Can I please have the full and complete dossier on Vonash? I'd like to know EVERYTHING that you know about her so that I can better integrate into her life. I, for one, plan to just step into her life and leave the big issues to you lot"

Telepathically to the others
"It also will be very interesting to know how much data they have on us. I'm thinking of trying to read his thoughts. Do any of you see any kind of psionic detection devices or people you think are telepaths?"

Vonash will continue to act as a mental relay but she mostly sits there, a more than slightly dazed look in her eyes

"Hey, uh, did anybody think to bring snacks? Otherwise I'll have to go get some from our ship. Or you could send alphabetty there to get some"

I know, I'm embracing all the stoned tropes :-). Sue me :-)"

"Ok, lets all talk"

She sets up a telepathic link with everybody

"Hey guys, Milo wanted a private chat with Gabriel NOT listening in. So, uh, this is it. Anybody want a puff of this stuff? Its quite good"

Vonash establishes a telepathic link with Milo

"Yes, Milo? What do you think of all this temporal gerf#&+ing nonsense?"

Sorry for my absence. Paizo failed to tell me this thread was updated and I guess I didn't check :-(

Note - DEFINITELY assuming Vonash went and picked up some weed on the way here :-) :-). And has been smoking it copiously through the briefing

"Well, I certainly don't understand everything you're saying. But it all pretty much looks like we won to me. Here I was dead, now I'm alive. Oh, it may be a different "me" in some respect but it feels like "me". And I get to step back into my life.

Anybody want some of this? It definitely helps you to keep things in perspective"

Note, I really do NOT want Vonash to retire from the campaign in any way. SHE would like to go back to her life, I hope that she isn't allowed to :-)

I think that I have a very mild preference for prime time Vonash to be in the centre of the blast. Ie, killed.

However, if you think the story would be better if she survives I'm totally fine with that

"Whaaa? Is that philosophy or, uh, practical. PLEASE be just philosophy"

"I'm pretty sure that I'm going to need some kind of drugs for this discussion. Does anybody have any good weed on them? Canabis Sativa in case you don't recognize the term "weed". In a pinch, I think I'll settle for copious quantities of alcohol"

"The lights are off. That has GOT to be a bad thing. Can you scan for life forms or something?"

Nope. In a time travel campaign I think nothing is EVER certain :-(

Vonash already has a holoskin projector. The time limit is why I haven't been using it much

"If nobody minds, I wouldn't mind taking the injection glove. It could come in handy"

Shall we go now?"

I'd really like to take the medical lab. I'm quite willing to spend the time to take the weapons as well if people want but I don't overwhelmingly care one way or the other

Well, then I guess we just have to say the magic words first

We loot the ships to the ground :-). Seriously, any weapons or armor or the like we should take. Together with all of Wells equipment, of course

Vonash definitely wants to look through any genetic samples that Moreau had. If he created hybrids of people and animals, it makes sense that he has the animal DNA, right?

Oh, and when a chance occurs, she takes Kitty aside and again asks her what the Holoflix showed about The First Timecops (that really feels like it should be capitalized :-))

"WE are famous? And in holoflix? Wow. So, tell us what we're going to end up doing?

And, Brass, held accountable for WHAT actions? It isn't THEIR fault that they travelled in time and they're not going to commit the crimes they were originally arrested for for a few centuries. I don't see that they'd have to answer FOR"

sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"I don't think I understand. You mean that you fought and lost in your time, and then retreated to the past. And then lost there again in the past? And so on? And the time of these towers keeps getting earlier and earlier?

Have you tried going WAY back and making MAJOR changes to the timeline?"

I'll chime in with the "great game" praise :-) :-)

Its also moving quite quickly which is very important to keep up interest

"The fact that these people may have committed crimes certainly does NOT excuse cruel and inhumane punishment on them. Criminals can and should be rehabilitated, turned into contributing members of society. And the death penalty should never be used by a government, every government has shown that it is not capable of using that power wisely and correctly.

But to allow any government the power to conduct medical experiments is several long strides too far."

sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

That may be fair :-). Vonash isn't happy with herself right now and probably isn't good at reading others :-)

"Why on earth would we want to kill Wells? As far as I know, he hasn't done anything to deserve execution"

To the others
"I told Kitty this and I'll stand by it. We'll try and restore those of you who want to be changed back but its YOUR choice. If you want to stay the way you are, who are we to say that you shouldn't?"

"Oh, we obviously have to kill him. I still think that we should kill him now and THEN kill him again before he did all this"

"None of us really understands what is going on here and none of us know what to do. This is one HECK of a first mission :-). It was less than a week ago that we got recruited. You're opinion is at least as likely to be right as ours."

To Milo
"Why not just shoot them both unconscious? Probably safer that way anyway"

"You're right, our actions could cause problems. But our INACTIONS can also cause problems.

I'm not proposing that we change our past. I'm proposing that we change our future by killing Moreau. When he was young. That HAS to be at least as effective as killing him now"
