ooc There Will Be Bees (OOC)

[Avenger Assembled]

Quick refresher on Sanctuary's history: 

 

The unknown, seemingly Grue-connected apocalypse that destroyed the local civilization seems to have happened in the early 20th century. 

 

Also, @Fox, since it's where Tarrant works, he knows that Freedom Normal School and Technical Institute is what Freedom City University was called until the late 1920s. 

 

Anybody who makes a DC 20 History check or a DC 20 Pop Culture check recognizes Wainwright's accent as being vaguely Mid-Atlantic, the sort you'd hear in old-time recordings and very old movies; it's like listening to somebody from a wax cylinder talk with perfect fidelity. 

[Dr Archeville]

Horrorshow has one of those skills!

 

Knowledge (Popular Culture) check -- 1d20+10: 29 [1d20=19]

 

Also: I'd honestly forgotten that Sanctuary's apocalypse was (seemingly) Grue-connected.  Awkward!

[Avenger Assembled]

@Dr Archevillethat will tell you the accent stuff, and also help you date when he's from. The fact that he referred to Dickens and Poe suggests that he's from before 1895, when HG Wells published The Time Machine. 

[Spacefurry]

Knowledge, Pop Culture 19

Missed it by... that much.

 

Edit: Is he carrying any paper or paper-like material?

Okay, 

 

@Spacefurry

@Gizmo

@Tiffany Korta

 

Give me a Notice check when you get the chance! I'll be posting for the bee crew soon

[Dr Archeville]

Horrorshow gets 1d20+10: 21 [1d20=11].

[Gizmo]

Notice check: 1d20+5 6

 

Ryder is distracted!

[TheAbsurdist]

[url=https://orokos.com/roll/896163]Notice[/url]: [u]1d20+6[/u] [b]14[/b]

[Spacefurry]

Notice check: 18

 

[Tiffany Korta]

Melissa's Notice Roll: 1d20+10 30, here senses bee keen!

[Avenger Assembled]

Okay, everybody, make whatever Search/Investigate checks you think are important here. 

[Avenger Assembled]

Coming up with a strategy to clean up the honey tsunami might also be a source of HP! 

[TheAbsurdist]

Oh, pop culture check for that earlier thing too: 15

Search check 17 once ah, it comes up.

But matter manipulation means Corinne/Zenith has solutions

[Dr Archeville]

Horrorshow's using his Oozey form -- which I don't think I've ever used in a thread until now! -- along with his Shapeshifting to gain infravision, scent, and ultra-hearing.  Hopefully those will help him spot something useful!

 

... but not with an 1d20+1: 8 [1d20=7] on a Search check....

[Spacefurry]

Is there any paper or paper like materials used in the machine? Something Paper might be able to sense?

 

Search: 24

[TheAbsurdist]

Use Move Object to push away honey so she can step on the ground to look.

[Gizmo]

Chitin

Search check: 1d20+6 23

 

Ryder will also attempt to talk to the worker bee, himbo to himbo, to try to get some actually useful information about where they should be looking.

Diplomacy check: 1d20+15 20

[TheAbsurdist]

That said, I suppose I should have clarified that Zenith is examining the damaged tanks.

[Avenger Assembled]

Okay, I need to know who is collaborating on moving the time machine and clearing the honey, and what you're doing to make it happen. No reason. 

[Gizmo]

Probably makes sense for Ryder to armpit up and help move the actual machine. He’ll be looking out for anything that looks active or like it’s shorting out.

[Dr Archeville]

Horrorshow will help with the honey removal/retrieval... somehow.

[Spacefurry]

Initiative if needed: 18

[Dr Archeville]

Horrorshow gets a mighty 1d20+3: 20 [1d20=17] for initiative!

[Tiffany Korta]

Just in case the best laid plans of bee's and (wo)men go off aft a-gley. Initiative: 1d20+8 9

[Avenger Assembled]

Let's see a Diplomacy check, @Tiffany Korta
