Going up 5 floors then?

[joe15552]

Well... geez... I suppose the young and curious must behave thus.

You didn't mention anything about the BC count increasing as we went up the shaft so... just gonna take a little look see.

[Crossbow]

Yes Devoted and Digger are going up, Digger by winch.

[Kontact]

joe, go ahead and roll an assensing test with a -2 penalty for the BC.

[joe15552]

ouch. forgot about that... guess it's -4 total with sustaining a spell? good times.

Intuition 2 + Assensing 3 - 2 BC -2 Sustaining spell = 1 dice, 1d6.hits(5) → [3] = 0 hits. wew... no critical glitch.

Why don't we find some sheet-metal or something and have devoted levitate that.  It's like 1 hit/200 kg.  That's just about 3 humans per hit.  with 3 hits i'm sure he could levitate a sheet carrying all of us.  Think magneto...not batman

[joe15552]

Lol! That would be pretty awesome... too bad everything is covered in wasp nest crap and I don't think this building is constructed out of sheet metal. HOWEVER! When we find the payload at the top, maybe we can all just hop on top and ride that puppy back down outside! WOO! Unless... crazy maniacs outside decide it's a good idea to start sniping anything that flies outta the building... which they have already done, btw... Maybe ye ol dungeon crawl is the best way to go.

Remember that idea someone had to tie themselves to Devoted and have him fly everyone up that way? He probably wouldn't make that suggestion in character, but he would probably do it if everyone asked... That sure would be painful though... 2 humans and a dwarf tied on to a little teenager elf's climbing harness... He does have a climbing harness, though, so it's feasible.

I just thought of something. Devoted's crazy ass expensive comlink can communicate with our trans downstairs... mmm lol, I need to leave Yani in Europe. Too bad we lost etherial.

[inca1980]

Or he we could all just tie to like a sturdy rod or a metal hook or ring of some sort....literally any sturdy solid object that can have a rope tied to it would work....just tie us all off to it, or we all tie ourselves to a line, and then you just levitate that little object with a threshold depending on the total weight.

[joe15552]

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I bet Devoted would do that if Machete told him to. 

[Kontact]

Too bad we lost etherial.

It's certainly been long enough that I don't mind running Eth's character.  I had to hold myself back from doing so since the beginning, what with his terse nature...  Not exactly how pbp runs best.

Anyway, when you were putting together your characters, I imagine you did so under the supposition that you were going to have some transport and some digital backup.  I've already bypassed a few hardware tests and so forth since Eth went missing, but I don't want you to assume that his resources aren't available to you.

[joe15552]

Ah, cool. thanks.

[joe15552]

welcome back, AJ!

[joe15552]

(crossing fingers) Here goes Devoted's awesome perception roll trying to find an object that appears sturdy enough to withstand the weight of 2 humans.

Out of character reminder, Digger has the rope hanging down for you guys to grab onto. But Devoted will do what's asked of him, especially when coming from someone more experienced than himself.

Perception 3 + Intuition 2 - Sustaining Spell 2 = 3 dice, 3d6.hits(5) → [1,6,1] = 1 hit. And Glitch. I'll spend my 1 Edge to negate that glitch.

[Crossbow]

Just a quick heads-up, haven't spoke up in a day or two cuz I didn't need to, but things might be difficult for me to post for about the next week or so.

Real Life Takes Precedence.

Nothing stopping you from levitating the rope with them clipped into it...  This isn't really meant to be a task.  There is simply a good bit of area which you could all explore or ignore.  I'm trying to encourage a bit of initiative from you guys.  The more you explore, the more you risk, and the more you are rewarded.. 

 Climbing to any floor would only take a matter of seconds with the rope there.
