For those of you still approaching, you are not necessarily going to get caught up in the situation Mlinzi is in right now. There are several bridges, in addition to the ferries, onto the island. Most of the purpose is just to kind of set the world up so you can come to a better understanding of how things are in the various locations.

If you want a lead in to your arrival, I will give you something once you describe reaching the island. Otherwise I am fine if you show up inside/outside the bar, and I will pick you up there. Either is fine with me.

Just want to double check, when you say the police are unaware, you're talking about being unaware of the potential riot that is on the verge of breaking out, correct?  ;D

The shoving matches, yes. (I did a minor edit there to unaware or unconcerned if you missed it). Basically the ones you noticed are focused on clearing the street.
And I already made a perception roll for you to let you know what you saw, so you are ok on that front.

You do get imaginary bonus points for picking up on the shipping out of the country bit though.

Great. In that case, I think I am just going to try and slip on through unless things look like they are going to get really out of hand.

With 1 hit, you barely hold your feet. There are enough others around that she couldn't send you sprawling.

I just figured there are very few reasons for raw minerals to be heading onto an island with docks other than outbound shipping. Just the continued rape of the African homeland by Corporate scum. RAAAAAAGE! LOL

Of course your focus on trying to figure out who to blame did cause you to walk into the poor, defenseless woman.

Not that I am trying to discourage curiosity of course.

If I don't make any headway here, exactly how far off the water is this bridge?

I wouldn't advise it.

I was going to levitate under the bridge. If Mlinzi knows that's a no-go, then it's a no-go.

Alright, 13d6 and no hits. That's a great start!

If she arrives at the bar early enough, she is going to take the opportunity to drink a beer and cool her heels, hopefully giving her the chance to recover some of the Stun Damage she took.

In the future, you may want to choose a slightly more discreet location to make the summoning attempt.

Thanks for pointing that out, I thought it only applied to spellcasting, which is why I had her lean against the wall like it was no big deal. Noted.

Edit: Also, now that I'm enlightened on that and since I am not sure if summoning a spirit leaves an astral signature at the point of summoning (it seems to be the one example excluded from the myriad provided), I will spend three complex actions wiping out the signature.

You were on the side of one of the two most major streets across the island. It is a risk to assume no one there could tell what you are doing, and with opinions the way they are about spirits and those that support them, being noticed in the center of the city is probably something you want to avoid.

I assumed you thought logistics wise no one would notice, which is why its fine for now, but you may want to be a bit more careful in the future.

Call the dice roll on the drain test enough of a reaction :)

>:( I hope I got my bad luck out of the way early. It wasn't a glitch/critical glitch, but it was a damn sight close to it. I wonder what the odds are of that on 13 dice...
