  1. Unfortunately, rl stuff has come up, and I won't be available to game for the foreseesable future. Will let you know if things change, but they likely won't soon.

    Thanks for thinkin' of me.

  4. We could use the same method as my last thread used -- put the word out among the underworld snitches and stoolies that somebody wants to hire some work done. Only instead of making it an open casting call like last time, the word is just for Satori.

    Leave some contact info and shazam, he'll pick it up soon enough.

  7. Satori, lurking in the bushes, sees Heavy rocket from the house and fly away.

    What in the name of... he is heading directly for Watergardens Hall! None of the servants could have survived that blast!

    Satori takes a deep breath, then another, re-centering himself. Shame surges in him, and anger... emotions that he can only purge himself of with effort.

    It does not matter how or why. Somehow, he obtained the same information that I tortured out of that weakling servant. Perhaps when he was searching upstairs, perhaps another way. Regardless, there is no way I can reach the target first. His flight speed and immunity to traffic conditions grants him vastly superior mobility to any car I could steal, police or otherwise, and his gravitic powers and armor mean he can simply ignore any mundane security guards, and abduct Kirk from the center of a crowd by simple brute force. Even if I by some miracle reached Watergardens Hall at the same time he did... no. Stealth and subtlety take time, smash-and-grab tactics do not.

    I must face the truth. Today is not my day. I cannot even hope to hijack Heavy as he returns to the storefront for the money... he is already alerted to this possibility, and if he could survive that explosion, he is too heavily armored for my arrows. And even though he did not sign the list... even squeamish as he is, that is still a difficulty he can readily solve in any number of ways.

    I am more limited than I have originally thought. I must meditate upon this truth and devise new methods and techniques. Or, alternately, find new hunting grounds until I am in truth ready for this one.

    And so, accepting the truth of his position, Satori quietly left.

  10. The difficulty there is that there's currently a very high player to referee ratio. We only have limited bandwidth, so whenever possible, we try to have hero PCs going up against villain PCs, since that gets the most players involved.

    Which makes me worry a tad.

    The problem here is that Satori, by conception, goes for the kill shot -- and will look durn ineffectual and be no fun if he never actually succeeds. But if my primary opposition is other PCs, rather than NPCs as I originally thought, there are obvious difficulties.

    I may have to reconsider playing this character /at all/. Nertz.

  13. Normally, you take a -4 to Disarm attempts made with a ranged weapon. Such as, oh, shooting a gun out of someone's hands with a longbow.

    Is there anything you can buy to help offset this penalty, without changing your overall BAB (or focused, bow-specific BAB)? Given that Satori has both of those only 1 away from being maxed out to PL limits already...

  16. Yeah Satori I was working on a story where I might need someone to take out The Silencer.

    Well, that would certainly be challenging. Looking at his stats, I might need several attempts.

    Then again, Satori did not take up a life of supervillainy because he wanted the easy way, so...
