Ghosts Down Memory Lane OOC

[Dai]

I was assuming a starting point of at least 20 so 2 raises on 6k3 is risky even if, in hindsight, we both would have done it.

[Hotaru Sakura]

Well, 1st athletics roll was a bust.

Guys, can we keep track of how many time steps we are "using" in a post, so it makes it easier for Thym and us to keep track?

[Susumu Sumiko]

Done!

FR to Small characters, +5 TN to Large characters (which none of you are, so derp for me having added that XD)

Boo free raises can't use that! Thank you though I'm sure small will kill me later

This is a good idea - maybe keep a running total in each post including the previous posts up to then? I've updated my post to have the running total up to my post, so we've used 5 by yours

[Hotaru Sakura]

Okay, I'm through now, so can assist either Sumiko or Dai coming through next turn, or whoever else will be coming after.

[Dai]

You listed three time steps but succeeding at the second roll is only 2 time steps.

Dai should be able to get through on his own on Round 2 since he's not unskilled. So assist others in need.

[Hotaru Sakura]

But the first one takes 1 time step, so I assumed a failed roll means 1+2.

[Thimacek]

To clarify since Sakura asked - if you fail the Athletics roll, you can go ahead and roll again in the same post. If you want to, you can give up (i.e. come back), but then you must start the process again in the next round.

[Thimacek]

Oh, no, shouldn't be cumulative! I'll try to be clearer and use "instead" from now on to avoid confusion!

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

Untrained in Athletics + Agility 2, so, I'll likely need assistance to get through, unless Hands of Clay can help me climb through.

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura will help either Kiyoshi or Sumiko in getting through then next round

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

I'll be going back to sleep for a few more hours, so ghosting me is fine if my turn comes back up before then.

Reading through the spell, it wouldn't help much in this case. It's less a matter of 'climbing something' or 'walking along tricky surfaces' and more a problem of 'fitting in and moving through difficult spaces', although you do have to move up then down through some rocks.

I'll say casting the spell would grant you a +5 bonus to the Athletics roll. Each action you'd normally spend casting would count as a Time Step (so 1 Step if you cast in a single action, 2 if cast in two actions). You'd cast the spell during one round, then try to go in after that.

[Thimacek]

I'm almost falling asleep here, so I'll let Yesugen answer if she can, and if she hasn't by tomorrow when I get back here I'll ghost her so we move to round 2.

Cheering for the team!

[Hotaru Sakura]

Thim will post an update after sleep summarizing stuff, and then we can do the next "round"

[Thimacek]

Just back, and got the next round up. I'll be checking here more or less often for questions and to move things along - feel free to ping me if needed!

[Hotaru Sakura]

Do you want to try the spell, and I'll try and bring Sumie along, as we need someone to hack the thing?

[Kitsune Kiyoshi]

Sure. It lasts for 10 minutes. So it may be helpful on the other side.

[Thimacek]

Just as a heads up - I'll ghost to move things along if we don't get to the next round in the next 2 hours from the time of this post!

[Dai]

Is hacking the computer cooperative? If so I give Sumiko +5 to her roll.

Also, on the off chance we still somehow botch it, what is the descent TN of the elevator shaft with non-makeshift equipment? Dai has his rope and grapple.

Hacking cooperatively with a single computer would be really hard to do, so unless you have a convincing idea of how you'd do this, I'll have to say no.

Descending as a group with decent equipment would make the decent a TN 20 Cooperative roll. The highest rank in Athletics of those doing the descent could be added as a bonus, and it would count as a success if half the participants succeed - although those failing might still suffer a few bruises. Failing as a group would still be harmful, but much less so than if you tried without equipment and alone.
