Wizard of the Coat

Heh! Thanks for the laugh. I suppose my end of semester does seem to be leading to a spectacular fireball.

I suppose that speaks to how crazy my week has been and how sleep deprived I am. My apple watch tells me that I've averaged a little over five hours a night this month. I'll be so glad when this semester is over (just a couple more weeks!).

Oh, hey, and I was kinda waiting for a reply (or an "ignored the kobold" response) before posting again.

That's what I was worried about. Apologies to all for further delays. I've got a big faculty meeting that will run well past 5 and then I've got a long drive to pick up my wife at an airport. I doubt I'll get a post out today. I should be good to post tomorrow.

I need to check something before posting in the IC. Is Sirona back at the spaceport in the Banshee waiting for us or did she drop us off with plans to come back when we signal?

I thought D'Art was our early warning system. I smiled at the thought of Yopine watching the dog, and the dog watching the hare quarters, occasionally looking to Aly (or whoever is cooking) in anticipation of being fed.

FYI, Nina wears an earbud comlink and all the PCs have access to it (they know her comm channel or comm number or whatever).

Sorry to lose you, Alterangel. Hope your home situation improves.

Hades (and everyone else), I don't want Nina to come across like she's taking charge. Nor do I want to limit the other PCs' choices. I've tried to post IC details trying to make clear that she's not wanting to do that. So if those efforts are not working, let me know and we can retcon the scene or whatever.

Just wanted to double check that something. Red Knell is hiding from the guards on deck, not from Ms. Blueblood. I'm assuming Red and Blue can see each other because they don't have cover/concealment from each other in which to hide. Is that correct?

I think I'm good with the briefing scene with Racine. I don't have any more questions. Does anyone else have any questions for her? Moving forward, it looks like we need to purchase supplies from the black marketeer guy, and get advice from the Clockwork King. If the rest of you are ready to move on, let's let Billy know.

Wait... what? He revealed his true identity? Did this happen in a side conversation or in the main thread when Ragz was present (and I somehow missed it)?

For some strange reason, I thought we were in combat rounds, so I only posted one round worth of action. But after seeing your post, I realized my mistake--and that going to combat rounds so soon would only slow the game to a crawl. Consequently, I added a couple of additional sentences to my post, leaving Red Knell at the top of the foremast yard arm, in position to do her thing.

Ragz feels a sudden warm tingling sensation as Aly's disembodied controller thinks of him as a tank.
