Lazarus may be cracking a bit under thr strain here. Hotfoot, would it be safe to say he is now officially fatigued from lack of sleep?

It would make sense at this point. Nothing a few hours of sleep couldn't fix though.

So in the in-game day we have, sounds like we should do this:

Group A: Go to the Guard base and try to contact Gries.

Group B: Go to the spaceport and recon the area.

Group C: Rest at the Grimloch base, try to recover some wounds.

...and everyone needs to try to figure out what to do when the Arbites start shooting at us. Maybe Serghar could make contact with the local Arbites, say something about an undercover investigation, and convince them to not raid out the place for now?

Who said anything about actually doing the raid? I'm only saying yes so we can leave this place alive.

Well I don't know about point C. I certainly don't want to stay at the base anymore. As far as doing the arms deal or not, hopefully our boss will give us some guidance on the issue when we contact him.

If we contact him. Remember, Gries didn't want us to contact him. He said he would contact us if he needed to.

And as for arguing about doing the raid or not, let's talk about that IC. More fun that way ;)

Well I'm all for contacting him when it comes to issues that might get us executed if the authorities find out about it (smuggling in arms shipments and whatnot.) Also, we kind of have found out who Silvanus is (at least who some people say he is), so the boss may want an update on that.

Well of course we want to contact him. The problem is that we have no idea how to.

Alright, so I've written an opening for us to all get together and discuss what we're going to do next. Let's get plotting!

Can we 'partner' up with characters like Zakary who now seem to be NPCs?

Sure, they just won't have any lines and will die first in combat, most likely.

Don't know. As soon as we get a couple hours sleep I'm for leaving the joint and going on our two to three mini missions (Talking to the boss, talking to the arbites and maybe doing a recon on the spaceport, depending on what the boss says.) I could post us sleeping with a watch up if that would move things along?

I think we're waiting for certain slower players to make their posts. This is, after all, a group meeting, and we should give them a chance to say something.

I'll give them till tomorrow at the latest, then Camillia's going to move on.

Sure, that'd be well inside his capabilities. Just include it in the next post if you're going to do it.

Camillia took a picture of the map. So we already have a copy, we just didn't tell Grim.

Gathering information

Holding back info

Keeping secret copies

Diplomatic Gestures

Covert communications missions

Scouting the territory of a possible raid.

Holy Throne, if we keep this up we might be able to fool someone into believing we're professionals! :wink:

I just found out that Fantasy Flight Games is planning to release the Rogue Trader game in 2009. For those of you who don't obsessively follow 40K RPG stuff, Black Library to be the mid power level second 40K RPG, followed by Deathwatch which was to the high power level where people played Space Marines?

Can I get a "Praise the Emperor" from the audience? :D

Good stuff. If you skels live long enough, we might make it to Rogue Trader. :P
