Bay 12 Games Forum

Rorman looks for the captain, and failing that, the second in command and so on. Once someone is found, he asks about where the next mission will take place.

Hey! That's pretty cool!

 Seriously, that's a nice setup! Are you posting it here for suggestions, or just so that we can marvel at its amazingness?

Spoiler: What were you asked? (click to show/hide)

I thought the SCP Foundation was just a creative writing website. What do you mean, "it is real"?
(SCP Foundation is an organization that preserves normality in a horrifying/surreal/magical world)

It's supposed to be a question to which the answer could be "Yeah, but it'll be orange."

 I might drop this game, since I was running it to make up for the fact I wasn't running anything at the time. However, I was recently asked to GM a D&D group in real life, so I might not have enough time to run this.

 This is a maybe, not a definite, but keep it in mind.

Turn 3

 Person:

Open the door next to me. If there is an enemy inside, stab it. If not look for loot.

You look inside the room and find it completely empty.

 roseheart:

Give valentine a stunning potion(one that I've built immunity to) to use on his spear. Continue to follow atleast 2 spaces back when visibility permits.
Also give valentine a healing potion, the drawback of it being it takes a turn to kick in.

[5+1+1(drawback) vs. DC 10] You try to make the stunning poison, but you fumble the attempt. [20!+1+1(drawback)-1(second attempt) vs DC 14] You succeed with authority, and the potion ends up being a Potion of Full Revival! Drinking it returns the user to full health, regardless of whether they are dead or alive.

 RAM:

Androwyn draws flames from the nearby fire into the form of an arrow and launches it at the door to their north.

[20!+1+1(environment component) vs DC 14] You succeed in creating a Fire Arrow, and are even able to unleash its power without another effort! The door is burned to smithereens, and past it you can see stairs leading up.

 I_Like_Pi:

Typhos, heads north into the room and looks to the right.

Just before you move, Androwyn takes some of your flame and hurls it, arrowlike, at the door ahead. It burns away to reveal a staircase behind it. When you enter the room, you note - to your dissapointment -  there is nothing else here except the stairs ahead.

 Dustan Hache:

giving off a quick sigh of annoyance, he starts checking the eastern corridor instead.

A short walk down and the hallway splits - to the left passage are four corridors on opposite wall, while to the right, the hall stops quickly, with two doors at its end.

 FallacyofUrist:

Clarence follows the Bard.

You follow him, and find that your corridor is the base of a t-section. In the left corridor, four hallways continue in your direction. To the right, meanwhile, the corridor stops short and only contains two doors - on opposite walls - at its end.

 Oceansoul:

If he does decide to do it, escape the room. If not, take out the self-reflective mirror and do something with it and the mirror mural.

You take out your mirror and place it against the mural. Nothing. You reflect the image of the mirror in your mirror. Still nothing. It seems this was an exercise in futility.

 Doubloon-Seven & DolosusDoleus:
All this walking around has made you pretty exhausted. You sit down for a moment. How long have you been here? Time is weird. Your mind wanders, and you derail the game.

Turn 1

 crazyabe:

I Head down to the local Bar and Look for some "Help" because I'll have a Job to do...

You walk into the bar and wait by the jukebox. The buffoons milling about are inexplicably drawn toward you, and within minutes they are standing by you. You pitch to them the idea of helping you out in matters... not-so-legal. [20%+10%(drunk)+15%(stupid) = 45% Success chance; Roll: 30] A few wander away and pretend they heard nothing, but the many still remaining are happy to help - if they get a cut of the profits, of course.
 +7 losers

 Rethi-Eli:

Lighten a few pockets to warm up for something more difficult. If noticed, quickly take down any immediate aggressors before running away.

You find a small crowd milling outside a liquer store, and give your skills a chance. [30%+12%(drunk) = 42% Success chance; Roll: 24] You lighten many of their pockets, and soon have ammased a decent amount of spoils:
 +$70  +20 cigarettes  +4 lighters  +3 wallets  +3 IDs  +8 credit cards  +pocket knife.

 tntey & Liberoscien
Overcome by indecision, you decide that perhaps you aren't supposed to make this choice. Perhaps there is another place that you should be. Perhaps there is another place you need to be. Perhaps you should derail the game.

 See below.

 tntey, Liberonscien, Doubloon-Seven, DolosusDoleus & TheBiggerFish:

"Yeah, but it'll be orange."

 Remember: If you don't post, you will derail. If you don't make a sheet for a game you've just joined, your post won't count (since I won't know how to modify it and whatever) and so you will be derailed, too.

Wheeeeee!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Real Name: Archibald Jones
Villain Name: The Shadow Broker
Gender: M
Active Powers (175% to spend, 95% max per power, 5 max powers):
0/175
95%: Future Choice: Archibald forces a particular future to happen.  This is harder the less likely a future is - that is, the more it is dependent upon people other than Archibald acting in less likely ways.  For instance, shifting the target of a pickpocket would be less hard than shifting the career of a pickpocket.
80%: Umbra: Archibald has the power to manipulate and travel through shadows and darkness.

Passive Power: Archibald has the ability to perceive futures.  Generally, these are associated with probabilities of occurrence.

Skills (30%,20%,10%; these are bonuses, not the flat number):
30%: Brokerage
20%: Appraisal
10%: Perception

Description:The Shadow Broker is...A strange one, even amongst the underworld.  He doesn't commit crimes, he simply profits off of them.  He will arrange buyers and transport for you, all for a simple percentage fee of the sale.  Or perhaps he's just going to play the stock market.  He has the suit for it, at least.

The plan is simple.  Using the money an ordinary guy might have saved up, Archibald starts choosing futures in which he gets lucky - that is, that his stock picks go up a short while after he picks them, and his short sells go down.

Just a heads up: If there's a derail this round, you'll join the new game, and so you'll have to make a different character sheet. Just telling you ahead of time.

Can we be in both games?

No, sorry. There's a reason.

Yeah, it's the first game.
