For repairing the hydro plant, you get a skill point.

Vehicles [Basic]
[You can also suggest another Basic skill]
or
Any Basic Skill [Specialty]

You can upgrade a [Basic] skill with a [Specialty] in that skill, as per the following examples.

+ Mechanics [Automotive]
+ First Aid [Lacerations]
+ Athletics [Climbing]
+ Dinosaur Knowledge [Specific Species]
etc.


[Basic] skills are not required to attempt actions (i.e. you can still drive a car under normal circumstances without Vehicles [Basic]), but it will make more difficult actions easier to attempt or lessen penalties or failures. [Specialty] skills further this.

With all the running around we do, Athletics might be a good choice for the skill point.
The other option is more into firearms, since we might be in a fight.

I think that right now, Athletics might be more important.

>>14241233

Well, you have Firearms [Basic] already, but you could go for Athletics [Basic]. Guess I mistakenly deleted that.

>>14241262

Ignore my comment on Firearms, I missed part of the post I replied to.

>>14241262
Okay, last session, the raptors were pushing against the barricade into the room, right?
If we left the fort, could we shoot through the opening in the barricade if a raptor is visible?

>>14241297

Yes, you could do that. That would mean being seen by the raptors though.

>>14241325
Well, the raptors are already trying to get in; I think they picked up our scent.
Have Juan and Emanuel get their tranq rifles ready while we sneak out of the fort and try to tag the raptors. Hopefully the barricade will hold.

>>14241357
+1

Do we know how fast the tranq takes effect? That is a pretty big factor. Also I vote athletics for a basic skill

>>14241436

Depends, on something like the T-Rex it can take upwards of an hour, but smaller dinosaurs take less time.

>>14241357

They grab their rifles while you go out and look through the barricade. You see the body and tail of a raptor nudging its head against the barricade.

I think it would probably be a good idea to wait in the fort for a little while, give everyone a gun, and hold real still like.

Are people interested in this?

>>14241899
i'm here

how many raptors are there in the room?

>>14242016

You can only see the one raptor. If there are others around, you can't tell.

>>14242057
i guess we'll have to tranq it

>>14242057

There's never "just one" raptor. Well, except the one a while back that crushed a guys arm.

If we can take a shot, we should do it.
Anyhow,

You take your rifle and shoot the raptor. At this range, you can't miss. The dart buries itself in the raptor's back and it stands up and roars. Make an Athletics check. d100.

bump

>>14242269

Wow, it's slow today. Did people see the skill check request?

>>14242482
Hope I do this right

Maybe it'll pick up later today, people are still freaking about about Grey Knights it would seem. I'm also not sure if I know how do roll dice.

rolled 80 = 80

>>14242528

If I recall correctly, it's "dice+XdY"

Tell me how to roll, and I'll do it.

>>14242552

Yeah, that's it.

rolled 11 = 11

Here we go, Jump away!

>>14242587

YOU FOOL!

>>14242587
I've made a mistake!

>>14242587
... Damn

The raptor's head darts forward and bites your arm, pulling its head back. You slam into the barricade and feel a sickening pop in your shoulder before your arm erupts in pain. With the help of Emmanuel and Juan, you manage to get your arm back. The raptor is joined by two others, who are now trying to push the barricade over.

>>14242653

Oh shit, sounds like we dislodged the shoulder. We did wear the chainmail, right? How bad is the arm?

>>14242690

You were wearing the chain, so your arm isn't hurt. But your shoulder sure is.

>>14242708

I suppose that it's up to Emmanuel and Juan to deal with the other raptors. We could tell them to fill them with tranqs until they stop moving, but try not to kill them.

I gotta sleep now, good luck folks!

Yeah, we'll have to have the other two deal with any raptors that might show up. I mean that will show up... Get to safety and check the arm out.

>>14242917

You move back and leave them to attempt to tranq the other raptors, the one you tranqed is now passed out with its head in the hole in the barricade. You take a look at your arm. Definitely dislocated. You could make a First Aid check to reset it, but you could also make it worse by doing so.

I think it would be best to wait a little while and see if maybe Emmanuel or Juan can help with the arm, in the state that we are in, we would probably end up doing something we regret.

>>14243031

First aid of course, i can't go all around the place without an arm.

>>14243099
>>14243058

So are we trying to fix your arm or not?

rolled 63 = 63

>>14243187

i'd say yes and i'll add a little roll just in case

>>14243214
Well I don't think it is very fair to decide something after a roll, so I guess it can get any worse than this, can it?

>>14243244

as i said, it was just in case.

and considering that healing a dislocated arm isn't something too hard and that we have the first aid skill i think that we'll be alright.

>>14243281
Oh, your right. I didn't know we had that skill... Derp.

then we'll try to fix our arm.

It takes a bit of work, and a lot of pain, but you manage to work your arm back into its socket. It'll be sore for a while, but you can use it. Once you get that done, you realize something. That raptor ate your tranq pistol.

Juan and Emmanuel have managed to tranq one of the raptors as it was getting ready to charge, but the other one has its head in the hole and won't let them get a shot off.

We could shout for them to get out of the way and then tip the crates over on the last one.

Throw something from our toolbox and try to hit its tail. When it turns to investigate, they have time to get a shot off.

>>14243481

I don't understand; why can't they just shoot it in the head?

>>14243620

They could, but they're rather afraid of it, so they aren't thinking clearly enough to back up out of range of the head. As it is, they're standing on either side of the barricade. The raptor can't turn its head enough to bite them, so it's just roaring and gnashing its teeth in frustration.

>>14243646

Is our arm working alright, aside from the soreness?

>>14243693

Yeah, it's working properly now.

We could ask Emanuel to let us have the shot.

>>14243736

Then we pick up our shotgun, flick off the safety, and blast that raptor square in the face, with our backs to the gas tank.

Blind heroics, we could sprint up and kick it in the jaw.

I think it's better not to ruin the good will we've picked up from management by killing valuable animals.

>>14243773
As such, borrowing one of their tranqs or distracting it makes more sense.

>>14243773

Fuck Management. That thing will KILL US if it gets through that barricade.

The mail held up to the bite. How well do you think it's going to hold up to a kick from one of those powerful legs, with that huge toe-claw on the end?

The Muldoon and the DRT guys won't fault us for killing a raptor. We don't actually NEED to tell Dispatch we shot one.

>>14243826
Agreed, blow it's brains out.

So, lethal or nonlethal?

rolled 37 = 37

>>14243826
Fair enough. Let's shoot it, being careful to not let the shot get anything near anything flammable.

rolled 1 = 1

>>14243936
We don't have a tranq gun anymore, it'll be faster to go lethal, even if it feels risky to me.

rolled 64 = 64

>>14243958
Shit, nice rolling, guy.

rolled 34 = 34

>>14243936

lethal. intentionally lethal. the last thing we want is the raptor surviving and possibly drawing more/bigger dinos in search of wounded prey.

>>14243938
>>14243958

Oh come on.

Oh well. It's a shotgun. I guess you don't have to be TOO accurate.

Or maybe this will mean we jsut forgot to turn off the safety in our haste.

>>14243975
Unless it means we hit something we REALLY don't wanna hit.

Why do so many people like to roll for one thing?

>>14244005
He takes the high roll. Usually only three or four people do. We've actually had one or two failures during this quest, so it's not TOO unbalancing.

>>14244005

It's more that we all roll around the same time, and don't see the other rolls until afterwards.

You hastily bring the shotgun up to your shoulder, aim and fire. The gun roars and the kick staggers you. You missed the raptor, and you see a fireball erupt at the far wall.

>>14244026
Aw man.
Shit.
Well, the turbine's still working, right?
And that explosion must have surprised the raptor too.

>>14244026
Woops!

>>14244026

Oh come on, shotgun pellets would embed themselves in the barricade crates/cabinets, not blast clean through or ricochet.

>>14244040

Turbine is still working yes, you hit the backup gas generator.

The raptor is startled and pulls itself out of the hole to look behind itself.

>>14244049

You're using solid slug ammunition.

>>14244049
They're loaded with slugs, not pellets. More penetrating power is important when they're meant to deal with a dinosaur's leathery hide.

So what's the raptor's reaction to a large boom occurring behind it?

>>14244059
"Guys, quick. Shoot it while it's distracted!"
Get ready to take another shot if they miss.

>>14244059
It's turned its back on us- there's an opening! "Shoot it!"

Emmanuel and Juan both come out and shoot at the raptor. The raptor roars and turns around to snap again, but they both pull back in time. It has resumed snarling and gnashing at you, but you can see two darts in it's neck.

>>14244153
"Good work, you two. Sorry about the shot, I guess my arm is still fucked up."
Let's get some breakfast, being careful in case that's all of them.

>>14244181
As soon as the tranqs take that raptor down anyway.

It takes a few minutes, but the raptor eventually slumps unconscious and stops breathing.

>>14244269
If no other raptors have shown up since, breathe a sigh of relief and discuss a new plan with Juan and Emanuel: Get the hell out of here.

Those raptors should be out for a while, but shoot any that were only hit once a second time for good measure. In the meantime, grab some breakfast (food is good), make sure everyone is well-armed, and turn on the radio to get some more news.

>>14244269
Give it a good revenge kick in the ribs, and see if you can find your lost gun.

>>14244269
>and stops breathing.
Sounds like we overdosed it and killed it.
That leaves just 2 raptors to worry about.

Dispatch was asleep, but it sounded like there were still some people on the Maintenance channel. Have Emanuel talk to them, get them to rouse a DRT to come down here and pick up the raptors, as well as bringing another emergency generator, or the parts to fix this one.

We should also make sure the explosion hasn't damaged anything else too much so we don't have to come back later.

>>14244328
this, also put out the fire from the explosion if there is any and see if the backup generator is salvageable. After that radio management and let them know we ran into another group of raptors, ask just how many were on the island. So far we have encountered nine dead or alive. a wileago we heard that there were only six(i think) on the island. If they are breeding management needs to know it.

Also let management know just how insecure the turbine station is.

Yeah, let's see if Dispatch is awake yet.

>>14244328

You're able to find your gun. You can feel it in the throat of the first raptor, who is also not breathing.

>>14244437

You're still not getting an answer from Dispatch yet. It's around 5:10 now. You tell Emmanuel to get onto Maintenance to see about a DRT and he starts talking. While he's doing that, you climb out off the room and have a look around. There's a puddle of fire around the generator, it's gas tank exploded, but other than that it looks salvageable.

>>14244418
No, Management doesn't trust us; we should tell Muldoon, though. He believes us, and Management will listen to Muldoon.
Besides, remember, we're still under suspicion of having sabotaged the park due to the Head of Security's machinations, so we don't want to call any more attention to ourselves than necessary.

>>14244480
...5:10 AM or PM?
Either way let's put out the fires and see what we can do about the generator

>>14244494

AM.

>>14244484
random maintince worker is under suspicion, not anyone in specific.
also we have no way to get in contact with muldoon without going through management or maintince.

>>14244516
Okay... let's have some breakfast and come up with a course of action with the guys.

>>14244480
Get a fire extinguisher and put out the fire.

>>14244518
Which is why we're getting a DRT to come here. Once here and they have the raptors secured, we can have them get on their radio and talk with Muldoon directly.
We know that Muldoon will take immediate action; we don't know if Management will even listen to us.


Also, check the last raptor, see if it's breathing or not.

>>14244533
Once we put out the fire and see about whether we can patch up the gas tank.

Uhg, reach into the Dinos mouth and grab the gun. Also that fire isn't really looking to good... Maybe see if the crew can put it out.

You have those fire extinguishers in the Explorer you could use to put the fire out.

You reach inside the raptor's throat and pull out your tranq pistol. Must've gotten it lodged in it's windpipe and choked. The last raptor is breathing heavily, seems to be out like a light.

>>14244611
Alright, tell Juan and Emanuel that we're going to get a fire extinguisher from the Explorer.
Us our floodhat, and make sure that a tranq dart is in the chamber before leaving the building.

>>14244638
We should have them come with us. Buddy system.

>>14244638
>>14244684

So lone wolf or buddy system?

Buddy system.

>>14244762
Buddy.

>>14244762
Fine, let's try the buddy system.
Emanuel is still trying to coordinate a DRT to come pick up the raptor, right?
So it'll have to be Juan. I hope he knows enough English to get by.

You and Juan head up the stairs, finding both the door to the lobby and the door outside open. The Explorer is in bad shape. It's got dents everywhere, the windshield is completely shattered, and the plexiglass has popped out of the frame and is sitting in the back seats. There is a dead pterosaur on the roof of the car with it's head in the hole where the plexiglass used to be.

>>14244782
Damn, I'm glad that we didn't try to spend the night in that car. What killed the pterosaur?

Anyway, none of the damage sounds like it would stop it from running. Let's get rid of that body and get it set.

>>14244798
Probably trying to shove its head through a car windshield.
Let's clear the body out and see if the car's still functional.

>>14244782
Dinos really are stupid. You would think that, since it's unmoving and big, that a dino would just assume that it's a rock while parked.

Anyway, our first priority is to get those fire extinguishers and put out the emergency generator. Let's go and do that.

>>14244798
I suspect it was trying to get in the car and got stuck in the poorly patched hole in the window after this happened its strugles must have attracted the raptors which probably killed it and smashed up the rest of the car in the process

make a mental note to tell dispatch and Muldoon that the tranqs are killing the animals for some reason

>>14244798

Blunt force trauma.

You dump the body off the roof, it's surprisingly light. You're grabbing the fire extinguishers from the Explorer when a set of lights pulls up. It's the DRT crew from the windmills.

"Heard you had raptor problems."

>>14244863
Anyway, indicate to Juan to stand guard while we grab the food. Then we'll bring it in and tell Emanuel what happened.

>>14244872
Well, the one raptor choked on our gun. The other one OD'ed on the tranq.
The one still alive seems okay, though.

>>14244890
"Yup. Two of them. One swallowed my gun and choked, but the other one is tranq'd... Also this Ptero seems to have berserk'd itself to death on our car."

>>14244890
"Yeah, 3 of them came sniffing around when we were sleeping after getting the powerplant up and running.
"Good thing we barricaded ourselves in the supply room. Them trying to break down the barricade is what woke us up.
"We tranqed one, and another ate my tranq gun and choked on it; stupid dino. The third one was getting through, and it must have OD'ed, because it's not breathing anymore.
"And hey, I thought all of the raptors were accounted for. Or could these ones...you know...have hatched outside the labs?"

ignore this, I didn't read where it choked

Ugh, anyone else having posting trouble?

Looks like we're back up. You still awake, ECW?

>>14245124
yep, but I think its over
