ooc SCP 46591- Dennis Deacon of Woodbury, New Jersey (OOC)

[Supercape]

Echohead could copy acrobatics but has the "calibration needed" complication... as Jean is very different physically it would take Jim time to pract8ce the skill in new body. Would be a fun complication to put into action?

[Poncho]

Interesting.

 

Alright, let's keep that in the back pocket for now, maybe find a auitably dramatic time for you to have to learn some skills from something that may not have the right body shape. Wiith an 18 and Leaping 3 + wall crawling I figure Predator can get over the rooftops good enough. I'll do a GM post in a little bit if you want to post in response to Predator carrying you IC

[Poncho]

We'll do some gathering information rolls (but not Gather Information unless you want to); give me an IC post of what you're doing, tell me what you're rolling, and roll it, and what you're looking for, and we'll see how you go. Try to stay in the Hospital though, we'll move out of the hospital in a little bit.

[Supercape]

Echohead is going to search the clothes for CLUES!

 

Getting a 15

[Spacefurry]

Computer roll for Predator I suppose: 17

[Poncho]

Alright; Here's your results.

 

Echohead:

Spoiler

There's two unique things here. First, your brain senses can hit that there's still a lingering presence on these clothes; the same hive mind that you felt with the pile of Dennis Deacons is clinging to these clothes, but they're fading away rapidly; effectively it's not dangerous anymore, the signal has gotten so weak. This continues to confirm the theory that the Hivemind's individual 'puppets' have a very limited half-life of existence.

 

Your Search also reveals several cuts in the clothing and bleeding that would be reminiscent of a fall, especially a fall onto rock. Dennis must have lost his footing and fell into a cave somewhere in the forest.

 

Predator:

Spoiler

Predator's record check confirms that Dennis was suffering from internal trauma when he entered. It wasn't really a failure of the doctors to save him; he was simply too hurt to have been left out for as long as he was before he was found. He was airlifted in from a clearing in the forest that you could likely find with a good map of the area, but it's not certain where he was before that; the people who found him are likely already transformed into Dennis Deacons themselves, so all you know is where the Helicopter landed to transport him to the hospital in the first place.

 

I also want a Stealth check from Echohead here before I make another IC post @Supercape, but you can both make IC posts if you want; Echohead's check is about getting back to the safe zone without being spotted by wandering Dennises

[Supercape]

10 for stealth!

[Poncho]

Echohead has encountered 1 Clone to Dennis Deacon suddenly! What's he going to do!? Or would you prefer to trigger one of your complications for another HP?

[Poncho]

@Supercape hit me with a Diplomacy or Bluff check. and take the HP for breaking the gun!

[Supercape]

25 for Diplomacy, although make that 23 because I had a brain fart and his diplomacy bonus is +8, not +10

 

I am happy for that to go spectacularly wrong due to his anxiety (as another complication), if you feel that would be cool narratively.

[Poncho]

@Spacefurry can make a craft Electronics or Craft Mechanical to try and put the pistol back together

[Spacefurry]

Craft , Mechanical: 28

Sorry for the delay. ><

Edited June 18 by Spacefurry

[Poncho]

you're good!

 

And you put it back together! So go ahead and do some repairs and posting and we'll figure out where we're going next!

[Supercape]

To the broadcast tower then?

[Spacefurry]

Seems like it.

[Poncho]

alright, let's get an Athletics roll from Predator for her maneuvering through the city, then you two can figure out how you're going to try and cross the no man's land to the tower and suggest your appropriate skills to do so. Obviously Stealth or Athletics for speed is a clear choice, but I'll reward some interesting ideas if you have any of those or whatever. Feel free to ask me for clarification or if something's around you can use, but I'm gonna be permissive here.

[Supercape]

Given neither of them have stealth or concealment, perhaps just a mad dash? (as per IC)

 

Comandeer an ambulance!

 

 

[Poncho]

absolutely down with joy riding an ambulance or other car in; that'd be a Drive roll, untrained is fine. one of you can take it, and the other can give me a....let's say a craft (Electronics) to get the attunment fixed before the Dennises overwhelm you!

[Spacefurry]

If Echohead is willing to drive, Predator can work on the scanners.

[Supercape]

Sounds like a plan! You want to kick that off, Spacefurry?

[Spacefurry]

Sure

[Supercape]

4 for Drive. 

 

And that is awesomely bad enough to keep

[Spacefurry]

I just imagined the whole:

driver: "And we're off!"

*car reverses into something

driver: ...

passenger: ...

driver: "Like I said, we're off."

*car jerks forward and leaves the rear bumper behind

 

[Poncho]

let's get that Craft (Electronics) Roll from Predator while Echohead comes up with some way to distract or spook the Dennis Deacons before they can overwhelm you!

[Spacefurry]

Right

Craft, Electronics: 30
