I thought that was the way to go too, but then I realized such a thing would sell Day out as the mind-warper.

I think a connection between Day/Hua and the Nav-Chief seems less plausible.

So let’s listen to the team.

Okay, if you're okay with it ericthered, we can go with Hide's suggestion, which I figure would be two -5 point Delusions.

two -5's sounds about right.



Commander Zybo is talking with an NCO when Daymar bumps into him. Zybo is most displeased. "You idiot! Who is your commanding officer! Where is your buddy! Who are you!"

OK, I'm not sure if I can play off 2 and leave the tech wondering what happened or if I need to do something about it right now.

The tech who wasn't effected is looking around quite actively and quite alarmed. He knows SOMETHING is going on, but he's not sure what. "Vokubu, did you feel that? Vokubu?" He reaches out and shakes his buddy.

I guess I got the other three? If possible, I'd like to put the tech choke-hold before he attempts to disturb his buddy.

Judo -2
3d6 <= 13 : 1 + 5 + 3 = 9 ... success

OK, I'll choke him to death (I don't know how you want to play the rest out), smash the voltmeters, and try to make a quick escape before anyone finds the body.

Daymar salutes, saying "Sorry, sir, just heading back to my buddy now!" He's going to try to use Savoir-Faire to diffuse the situation.

Savoir-Faire (Military)

3d6 <= 15
1 + 6 + 5 = 12 ... success

Commander Zybo snaps:
"Hold on, Answer my questions private! Where is your buddy, and what's your name and commanding officer?"

I must point out that his name and section are on Daymar's uniform...

Ok, so you specified that you are going for the kill here, so you presumably want to choke and choke hold at the same time (basic page 404 and 371). Each round consists of:

• An opposed ST roll at +3 to you, to try and deal damage. You deal margin of victory * 1.5
• His resistance. This may consist of him trying to break free (opposed ST at +5 for you) or of him striking at you (at -5). If he hits, you may dodge or parry with judo.

Hua isn't particuarly strong, and the guy has the same ST as her... but her superior position more than makes up for that:
The Struggle:*

• He tries to break free, but fails by 2
• Hua chokes for 1 FP
• He tries to break free again, and fails by 12
• Hua chokes for 4 damage and 1 FP
• He strikes back at Hua with his elbows, but misses
• Hua chokes for 1 FP
• He tries striking again
• Hua chokes for 15 damage and 1 FP. He fails his knockdown roll and falls unconcious

Hua can keep choking if she wants to make sure. What will she do with the body?


*If he had broken free or landed a hit we would have played it out more, but he didn't.

OK, I'll smash the voltmeters first. Then I'll try to stage an accident with the body. If possible I'd prefer to make it look like he fell onto a live wire or something, but will take staging him sticking a metal tool into an electrical socket if need be. I'm not sure what to roll for that.

I'll make a perception roll to see if there's something nearby to stage an accident with.

A major electrical cabal is nearby. An electrician roll will let you make his death look like an accident... are you going to take any steps to actually electrocute him?

Well I don't know wiring but I'll risk it.

Electrician (default)
3d6 <= 9 : 4 + 3 + 1 = 8 ... success

That went well. What would need to be done to actually electrocute here?

Daymar doesn't feel particularly like answering those questions, so he is going to use Suggestion on Zybo.

[415] 21-04-14 22:23:07 CEST

Suggest (Zybo)

3d6 <= 16
4 + 2 + 1 = 7 ... success

Daymar is going to suggest that Zybo send him on his way with a mild reprimand to find his buddy.
