Not really. Imperial world grants another +3 to Int, and I spent 300xp on advances.

edit: wisdom, not int

Willpower.

Willpower.

Wait, does it? Damn, I'll fix that asap.

Edit and a half - no, wait, it was right the first time. +3 Int was the divination roll, along with +3 corruption points.

They weren't re-rolled. He just spend most of his starting XP on stat increases this time around.

However, there are a few errors:

You do not have blather or deceive listed, and they are starting skills. You're missing either ambidextrous or Unremarkable, pick one. Also, Pistol Training (Las) is not a starting option, and you don't have it listed as purchased.

In short, check your starting kit again, and make sure everything matches.

Sorry, I forgot to change the typed version over from my Assassin. My above post has been edited to make things proper.

---

Since the start, assume that Cyrine has

-introduced herself to everyone
-managed to avoid vomiting (barely) on the shuttle ride down
-selected a bunk and said little while the Lieutenant was there, but been generally personable once the officers had left
-gotten filtration plugs at the quartermaster when everybody was crowded around
-gone back to the barracks and made herself busy for a while
-and now seen Father Havelock arrive.

I'm going to need awareness checks while he's walking outside the barracks and back to it. And search and scrutiny checks when inside the barracks to see what he can find and to measure the guile of the guarding guardsmen. After that I'm going to need an evaluate check to see if anything inside the barracks is found that might be of value.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-02-17 01:11pm

Scrutiny is an advanced skill, and one you don't have. No dice. Evaluate just tells you the value of things, but okay. I'll post the results.

RIPP_n_WIPE · Post by **RIPP_n_WIPE** » 2008-02-17 01:13pm

Scrutiny is basic I've got the book right in front of me.

Scrutiny (Basic)
Perception

Use the Scrutiny skill to make assessments about people you encounter, to determine if someone is lying to you, to sense ulterior motives and generally appraise the worth of another being.

Feil · Post by **Feil** » 2008-02-17 01:17pm

Sylas, do you have an AIM account so we can yank you into the group chat?

Okay, so I made a mistake on the skill you were requesting, but regardless, that skill has nothing to do with determining the worth or value of objects. It's a social interaction skill.

Regardless, the results are posted.

Ok, here's a radical idea:

I propose that, at least temporarily and for the purposes of both efficient investigation IC and sanity and clarity OOC, we split into 2-3 semi-defined groups and works as self-sufficient teams, not unlike the fireteams of a squad. In this way we can speed things up a bit and keep it sane with all this "he said she said we're at the lockers no I'm at the base" nonsense, as well as a general not-get-the-very-important-Adept-killed that I'm personally quite fond of.

If anyone agrees that this idea has merit, then lets post some groups to work in. Currently:

Alpha Team

Adept - Zakary
Guardsman - Lazarus
Assassin - Cyrine
Arbitrator - Draconicus

Let's try to get a healthy mix of classes, obviously.

edit: added Cyrine and Draconicus to ALPHA TEAM

Sylas

Please clearly post in this thread where your character is, how he got there, and what he is currently doing. Neither group is going to say anything to you until you clearly define where you are. I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but this needs to be resolved.

Raj Ahten · Post by **Raj Ahten** » 2008-02-17 02:03pm

As of now Alpha team's objective is to search records at the administratum. Also I believe we are going to the train station to gear up really quickly.

Okay there was some slight mixing up and bad attempts at retconning but I think everything should be in order now in the IC thread.

Havelock met up with Cyrine at the barracks and from there went to the transit station where he is currently waiting with her group.

Not at the moment but that's easily fixed once I can get back home where I can install things.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-02-17 03:01pm

Cool, thanks

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-02-17 03:06pm

Sigh... I just had to promise one of the most locationally confused characters that I would serve as his bodyguard. Anyway, just assume that I was with Havelock the entire time, so that would put me with the group at the transit station now. This may of course be making the team there a bit big, but I'm sure we can work things out.

Feil · Post by **Feil** » 2008-02-17 03:06pm

Sylas, are you coming with the newly christened ALPHA TEAM (Zakary, Lazarus, Cyrine, Draconicus)?

Or are you oging off to the Underhive as planned?

Doh, didn't notice you'd ended up in Alpha team. If I can get a team together I'll head off to the underhive so we're probing for information from the top down and the bottom up.

Sorry for all the confusion.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-02-17 03:18pm

Well it would seem Beta Team so far consists of:

Cleric Havelock
Trooper Quintos

Anyone else available to join the team?

Feil · Post by **Feil** » 2008-02-17 03:19pm

I'm staying with ALPHA TEAM, as my confusion levels can't take any more switching-about. Raj (from AIM) is of the same opinion.

Block · Post by **Block** » 2008-02-17 03:21pm

Since as far as I know Team Primus consisting of:

Verum
Camillia
Xerxes
Nixios
Varnius

has left the station for the Transhive hub, there's no one else available to join Beta.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2008-02-17 03:28pm

Alright so we can poke around nice and quiet like while you lot attract all the attention.

that or try and insinuate ourselves with Alpha.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-02-17 03:31pm

I'm good with either option. We could easily go as the quiet preacher who still knows to bring a bit of muscle with him into the Underhive and just sort of talk with people, or we could join up with Team Alpha. Either way I think we're going to get shot at, but to a certain extent I almost would like the smaller team. We won't get as bogged down as with a six man group.

SylasGaunt · Post by **SylasGaunt** » 2008-02-17 03:34pm

Okay, two man probe into the underhive it is.
