ooc Carnival Night

[Thevshi]

There you go Thunder, a chance for Graft to introduce himself to Velocity!

[Brown Dynamite]

And Foreshadow barely edges by with a 12

[Supercape]

THunder, did you want Graft to catch up with Megan/Velocity as per chat discussion?

[Thevshi]

Velocity makes a Gather Info roll (via Well Informed) about Graft, getting a 25

[Thunder King]

Well, with that result, she knows he's a new hero on the scene who seems to use some sort of organic suit. Because he's only been fighting crime for a few weeks if that, she doesn't know anything more.

[Supercape]

Ok so you have about twenty eight minutes till the main show starts!

 

Feel free to pause and do what you will, I will ask for rolls accordingly. 

 

It is of course perfectly fine to sit back, alert, and enjoy the music (or even a dance!)

 

If you do fancy making speeches, or entertaining the crowds, its perform rolls. 

[Thevshi]

Well, Velocity will first do a Search of the Plaza and area immediately around it (Taking 20 for a 23).  With her quickness, that should not take a lot of time.

 

Then she will indicate she will take a position in the crowd to keep an eye on things, where she will be dancing.  She gets a 26 on her Perform: Dance check.

 

She will try to regularly make Take 20 notice checks of what is going on around the area (here quickness making them take only a fraction of a second: ie free actions).  Of course, if there is an opposed roll, she will need to roll.

[Supercape]

Ok - Post away - Velocity will find Luiza, the singer who let of the smoke bomb, singing revolutionary songs - if you post finding her ill reply with her actions etc. 

 

Otherwise there are no bombs or other booby traps she can find in the centre of the carnival. 

 

Foreshadow and Graft can do similar searches, but the centre appears clean. Whatever is planned, it isn't the distractions of the periphery. 

[Brown Dynamite]

Foreshadow will just be keeping an eye out from near the stage.  Getting a 21 on his notice check to see if he spots anything.   Mostly waiting and watching for both the mayor arrive and the show to start unless something catches his attention in between that time.

[Supercape]

Could I have a Sense Motive Roll from Velocity please!

[Thevshi]

A 13. 

[Thevshi]

Probably should have done this  a bit ago, but here is a Gather Info (via Well Informed) check for Velocity to see what she knows about La Rosa: 24.

[Supercape]

La Rosa are a successful criminal gang of Brazil but more specifically RiO. Their leadership is unknown - possibly because it is a loose knit organisation, possibly because the leaders are very skilled or powerful. There are large concerns about its link with police and politics, and corruption. Whilst pretty ruthless and criminal, they have avoided the worst of crimes such as murder or people trading. They operate more via gambling, extortion, prostitution, and drug running. A nasty bunch, but not the most violent. 

[Supercape]

So it is time for some notice rolls. y'all!

[Thevshi]

Velocity gets a 18 on her notice roll.  (I will remind you her goggles give her extended sight).

[Thunder King]

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4185930/ 24 on his notice roll

[Brown Dynamite]

Foreshadow gets a 30 on his notice roll

[Supercape]

Velocity can have a +5 Situational Bonus for having Radius vision in this case, giving her a total of 23. 

 

Hence, Graft and Velocity hit the DC 20 Mark:

 

There are indeed several people in the crowd - women wearing masks - who are jeering. You count ten of them, and apart from mask and gender, they vary in height, weight, age, and appearance. They could, in fact, be anybody on the street. Whilst they are trying to incite the crowd (which is very large and pressed), you can't see any immediate danger. 

 

Having said that, Foreshadow spots a more immediate danger. One of the stage hands, a woman in a mask (a flashing electric gaudy one) is fiddling wit the electrical appliances that supply the microphone. Foreshadow summises that she is about to administer an electric shock down the wire and into the Mayor!

[Supercape]

As Graft has Radius vision he also gets the requisite amount to see the electrocutor. 

 

She is about 20 feet away. 

[Brown Dynamite]

So reaching for his Bolos in the Utility Belt.  Foreshadow throws a Bolo at the stage hand getting a 17 on the roll and prompting a DC 14, assuming she's not surprised, Reflex Save to avoid being snared if it hits.

[Supercape]

1d20+0=8

 

As she is effectively a bystander PL0, feel free to narrate that ensnarement however you wish!

[Thunder King]

31 to diplomacy, about the best I can expect to do! Trying to calm the crowd and get them to stop

Post away!

[Thevshi]

I will try to post soon, right now at a very late birthday party for one of my sons.

[Thevshi]

Velocity will make several Take 20 Notice checks all around, watching for any trouble, for a 29 on the checks.
