  • [Ring] I draw a finger across my throat. It'll be cheaper to contain this here, with one guy. I gesture interrogatively at the lock and start considering other options. Is there a window at the end of this hall? If so, is there a ledge outside …
  • [Ring] I turn and look down the stairs I just ascended right as the door opens for Frog. And turn with raised eyebrows to Vauri. Whispering back as Frog joins us, "What's he up to?" I make a shooting gesture to ask if he looks primed for an assas…
  • [Ring] Once I've seen Vauri enter the building, I'll wait until the spook has turned away and then pull my robe up at the collar as if I'm heading out and start walking. When I attain a position next to the door Vauri entered, I'll follow her in.
  • [Ring] With Tesslyn heading down the boardwalk and Vauri's signal to process, I stop, looking into the first shop, I begin appraising the fur-lined cloaks in a milliner's window. They're really quite nice. But I'm also taking advantage of the lar…
  • [Ring] "Backup is good, to be sure. But do find out if these Bravos are open to a new employer. Might be you could help them see the future -- one where the only red sashes to be found adorn corpses in the gutter."
  • [Ring] "That went well enough but the proof will be when the coin starts coming in. You be careful tonight. Who should go along?"
  • I like it. Does a guild even need a name? Since we have this public cover, it seems natural that we'd only use that. I guess those of us who are insiders could be Inner Eyes or something.
  • [Ring] Just now I'm at sort of a low point. The guild isn't rolling in cash and I just got out. I'd certainly prefer classy duds, but now I'm wearing little better than rags -- well, maybe not rags, but a plain grey scholar's wrap. But that's no…
  • [Ring] I'm weird this way, but sort of enjoy the frequent rain. And it's recent enough that I was imprisoned standing in the rain still feels free and empowering. I'm paying attention to Frog's conversation with the madam, of course, occasionally…
  • Why might a character begin with vice in a non-content state? I think there must be a bit of rules that I missed and have continued to miss.
  • (Rolled: 3d6. Rolls: 2, 4, 4. Total: 10)
  • [Ring] "We can all go, I suppose. Dominate the conversation as needed."
  • I'm not sure how much plan to come up with. Or how much back-and-forth to work toward. Hopefully what I posted is appropriate.
  • [Ring] "Right, folks, what am I missing? As Vauri says, we start by convincing Tesslyn that we can provide more dedicated services than the 'Sashes are doing in their haste and distraction. We frame that as carrot, but there's also an implied s…
  • [Ring] I try to gather the others in a corner so that the rest of the assembly can carry on with their work if needed. "Anyone know what our primary obstacles are going to be? Is this a thing where we have to convince Tesslyn or a thing where we …
  • I'll get used to it, I'm sure.
  • [Ring] I shrug and nod amiably. "Perhaps. But his business -- just a pair of dice, is inherently easier to move away than a brothel."
  • I wouldn't call it out as bothersome, because, like you, I don't want to tell people how to post. But I guess, since you're asking, it is a little. Like, my head is all wired up to think of e.g. italics and underlines and bold text as indicating s…
  • Along with the issue of the named header, what about bolded dialog? That feels weird to me, but several of you (I dunno, maybe everyone but me) is doing that. Should I just adopt that too? Is it helpful?
  • I'll try to make the header a habit. The people I named (who just happen to be all the PCs) all have valuable skills for the operation. And since I'm not sure how this game works, it felt safer to grab everyone. If some of them are busy elsewise,…
  • [Ring] With raised eyebrows, I regard Skinner for a moment and begin to gaze around the room, considering our options. We're not going to literally muscle our way in, so planning, insight, streetwise and stalking are what we need. I end up making…
  • [Ring] "Spogg's a rabbity little fuck. He's like as not to just relocate out of our reach. But the Red Lamp is going nowhere. Tesslyn's an upstanding businesswoman -- she'd be an asset for our organization. We just have to convince her that we …
  • New group images with all PCs in a new G+ album that I think is visible at https://plus.google.com/photos/117184575738442924541/albums/6023297337721085233?authkey=COb-gae86c30nAE
  • [Ring] I'm entirely comfortable with Una, of course. We go way back. Eight or nine years ago she was using me regular to get her other associates into tight places past some devious security. But with some time and effort (and the right relics, …
  • Goodness! How'd I leave a PC out. Now I *have* to redo it. (Sorry Adam!)
  • When I was first scribbling out the PDF's first page with the eraser tool in gimp, it was leaving behind bits of text between my strokes. In a couple places, they seemed cool, so I left them. not meaningful but evocative. I sort of feel like I st…

  • Chris, I love Claude! Source? I just did a Google image search for something like "weird cultist" so I don't have any info. We almost ended up with a loincloth bedecked south Asian but I liked the ritual accoutrements of this one better.
