@Aria - Very fun.
Could I just clear up a bit of PbP fog - mainly just on where primary team members are?
Isaint - no problem - clearly leading the way toward the target's office. INVISIBLE
Daddy - no problem - clearly took off on foot (physically) to join Isaint, went through same exterior door, somewhere behind Isaint (not sure how far). INVISIBLE
Snow - Hazy here. There was some question of whether he would stay in hot sim or come out of it. From Last his last IC and your definitely your last IC it seemed like he was staying in hot sim, which would leave him in his car (which I am inferring from him giving control of the car to Al).
IF he is in hot sim and in his car, question will then be where the car is...
Al - your last IC has Al following right behind Daddy (so that would be exterior door). Okay, ward no problem, as no active foci or spells. Notably only one of three not invisible.
Trick is that you and I agreed Al would take the van into the basement (Snow was going to handle any locks, but that seems moot now). And Isaint is asking Al to secure stairs to basement, so I think he thinks Al is there. We need the van down there to make our escape.
But more important, where is Snow Crash? Al is just really not going to lock him in his car and leave him unaware of his surroundings here in a hostile environment. Had hoped to bring him in van, but if he prefers car was going to have his car follow Al's van into basement, and once in the basement either stay with him while he hacks or else get him to get mobile and come with Al to join others...
Don't want to make trouble and you know I am very happy to go along with any storytelling.
Just want to (A) confirm where we all are before I post, and (B) make sure we don't leave Snow vulnerable.
Thanks!
