From within the rooms our heroes hear footsteps, and then a surprised gasp.

Map:


OOC: Not sure I'll have time to do the map before our guests arrive once I get home, so I'm doing this instead. You all know where you are, and I'll update the map into the thread as soon as I can. The Androsynth have moved, but you can't see anything inside the room, it's all grey. New turn, time for you to move. Since you've had time to find out about the Androsynth Never Surprised is no longer active.

EDIT: Got it done just before they arrived. Have fun!

OOC: Let's move Sukuzu E (for now) to see what the positions of the enemies are -- if we want to move him, he'll have to go E anyway, and if we don't he can come back any time.

IC: Bach is getting impatient. "Let us not delay the judgment of these demons any more, succubus. We are in no position to besiege them -- open the door and then the holy wrath of God shall cleanse this place. But of course, you fear the wrath of God, do you not?" He readies his weapon and steels his heart for the battle that is to come.

Just a heads-up that I probably won't be able to post until Monday as I'm going on a pioneer weekend with my band, so someone else will need to control Wawa. If it turns out that there is internet access where we're going I'll post, but it's unlikely.

Wawa is relegated to Sukuzu for the duration of Dabirs absence. meep and Son, in about 6 hours it will be two days since the last update. If I don't see you posting and continuing the adventure in some fashion before 3 days have passed (i.e tomorrow at 4 p.m finnish time, 3 days after my last update was posted) I'm going to have to disqualify you and see if there is anyone else around to take over your characters. If new players can't be found, I'll negotiate with the active players and see if they wish to take over your characters as well. Worst case scenario, I close the thread and prepare a new and smaller mission for next time.

OOC: I"m waiting for Sukuzu to move before I decide on Wubula's move.

IC: *sniff sniff* can't smell *sniff*  where they are *sniff* their perfume is too strong *sniff sniff* damn *sniff sniff*...Unable to pinpoint the exact location of the dreaded andro commander and his new associate by his keen sense of smell, Sukuzu takes a quick sneak peek and moves E to learn about their current whereabouts, keeping low as much as possible. He signals to his comrades via team-comm "I'm going in. Prepare for inevitable." and puts the safety off...*click*

As Sukuzu nimbly jumps off the chair, he finds himself face to face with MS-DOS 1.0. Inside the room he can also glimpse the sergeant,  who has moved away from his desk. They both look grim, and ready for battle.

Map:



OOC: For some reason the forum won't let me edit the first post any more, so I can't switch Wubula to the personal handgun there. She does still have it in-game of course. Is there some way to fix this, or do I need to quote to the post and place it somewhere else to be able to update it?

IC: Stunned for a moment by andros quick reactions, Sukuzu decides to react in the same manner - Kyaieee!!! *goes frenzy* paws of fury x2 N (2AP)

OOC: I too had problems with loading the forum page today, it "crashed" a few times with firefox reporting some sort of domain error Tongue Maybe too many members were online today causing the site to crash or something...it could happen Grin Wink better ask meep what's up.

EDIT: seems you've got it.

MS-DOS 1.0 doesn't stand a chance against the razor sharp claws that tear into his soft clone flesh. Without an armour or even weapons, his life essence pools around him on the floor as the light in his eyes fade. The Androsynth Sergeant still can't quite make out the attacker, but it is clear that he has seen the damage done. He yells a challenging insult, preparing himself for battle.

Map:


OOC: Sukuzus first attack scores two bullseyes and a hit that is parried. His second attack scores a further bullseye, killing the enemy. Remember that you're in charge of Wawa until Monday as well, unless Dabir posts something.

IC: Wubula opens the door.

OOC: Wubula only has one AP left after opening the door, so she can move E and attack once. I suggest that Bach goes E E N first and attacks from there, so that Wubula won't stand in his way. Alternatively, Bach could be the one to open the door, and then the roles could be reversed. (Lukipela: is that allowed, Bach postponing part of his turn while standing in an occupied square?)

OOC, OT: There is a 60 day limit set on the age of postings after which they can't be edited anymore by non-moderators. I don't really want to raise that limit; if anything, it should be lower. Luki, would you like to be a moderator for the Starbase Café? (If the rest of the UQM team is OK with that.)
OOC, OT: SoA: I don't quite get what your problem was, but maybe your nameserver was unavailable for a while?

Edit: not opening the door quite yet.

It's alright to pass through squares that are occupied by team-mates, but not to stop in them. So Bach can pass, open the door and move into the room, but he can't just open the door, because then you'll briefly be occupying the same space.

That depends. I'll happily take moderator status if that's the easiest way for me to edit my old messages. But would I be expected to perform any real duties? I dunno if I've got  much interest in mediating on the board, not that it needs much mediating. I could clean spam and such I suppose. Alternatively I could just make a new thread with the current stats, that'd hold for 60 more days, and then repeat if we're still playing.

As a moderator, people should be able to turn to you for moderator tasks. But there isn't much need for that in practice.

Creating a new thread would work for the stats, but I can imagine that there are other postings in the units/items thread which you may like to revise from time to time.

Fair enough, editing the units/items list will be a pain without moderation status. If the rest of the team are all right with me moderating, I'll be happy to do so. I doubt it'll be really taxing, and I'll try to avoid jumping the gun.

Regarding our next move, Sukuzu should ideally be allowed to kill the sarge because he'll get a full heal after he does that; he doesn't have many chances of doing this without someone damaging the Synth first, though, and even if we attack him next turn, 7 strikes is all we can muster, with only (almost) 50% chance of killing him; I say Bach and Wubula should move S S S S, so that the sarge can't attack us this turn, and so that we are ready to flee if need be (or to attack him with full AP if we really have to). Besides, I have no intention of letting him hit me with 6 strikes at once, and probably Wubula doesn't want that either.

Sukuzu's next move, assuming the Synth attacks him, should be to fire his handgun at the sarge, then retreat to safety, forcing the sarge to come closer or use the door.

Alternatively, we could open the door now and have Wubula Confuse the Synth, then I could melee him for some extra damage and Sukuzu could finish him next turn. Seems a good occasion to use Confusion, we'd gain a level for Sukuzu and avoid damage.

Hmm... I didn't look at those stats closely enough. But S S is good enough if the Androsynth still has to open the door.
I'd rather save the Confusion – we don't know what's still to come. We however still have a medikit and Sukuzu won't even need it if he levels.
