As for shooting the conjurer, spirits will still continue a remote task until completed.

A remote service would require you to be 600 meters away. It also doesn't sever the link between you and the spirit, so the spirit would still be free to leave once you got taken out. You would need to bind it, long-term bind it or fetter it for it to stick around after your unconsciousness/death.

They changed it then. Oh well. The spirit of the thing is I didn't want anybody extra to get hurt.

With Baba storming out, are we basically starting the mission now, or will Zippy have time to attempt infiltrating the house before it starts smoking?

Fair enough. Zippy wouldn't try to deal with or diffuse the situation, anyhow. Do you ever roll against team members btw? It's never come up for me before now. If Zippy wanted to persuade Baba to calm down could they have done negotiation rolls, or would it have all been in how the conversation played out in IC?

If Poindexter does call for a roll, anything you could roll against Baba would be a minimum of a -6, since you lack background knowledge of the situation (She fears and loathes spirits, -2), and she would consider coming back disastrous (-4).

In the meanwhile, she's planning to walk to the house, preferably from behind, build her molotovs (will this require armorer rolls or can we assume she succeeds in sticking rags in bottles?) and then proceed to set fire to things.

She currently has her claymore, her pistol and her roomsweeper, but she left her assault rifle in the back of the car. Didn't have time to grab it before storming out. She also only has the shopping bag of 10 molotovs. Didn't have time to grab any of the jerry cans either.

No, I'm just curious to how that would work. Zippy isn't comfortable with dealing with the situation, so he's going to go with the flow. My internet is down rIght now, but I'll get a post in after it is up. Being we're at an actual mission now, I think zippy will back Baba up. He's probably better than Francis in combat, eh?

I've gotta do a birthday party here in about ten minutes, but when I get back I'll do another IC post. Hopefully get this train rolling again.

OK, right now, i have no idea what the plan is, other than the fact that Baba Yaga and Zippy are both walking though the hood carrying rifles and gas cans, intending to head to the house and prepare. I also know that hornet and athena are in the car, intending to, do what exactly?

I'm sorry, i just dont feel like i have a good handle on whats going on.

can someone enlighten me?

Baba stormed off mad at Athena. Im following so she's not alone. I wanted to infiltrate the house as a junkie, but I think that plan is bust :p. I think Athena decided to stay in the Car, but I don't know if that is still what's going on.

ok, so at this point, everyone in the group is separated and operating on different plans.

can everyone tell me what their plan is?


also, does Baba Yaga intend to send the address to twine before she starts the fire? if he doesn't get a few minutes to look around in there first, he's gonna be pissed.

Zippy's plan A was to infiltrate the house as a junkie and get a hit so I could stay there until the fire started to try and help if anyone is unable to get themselves out. With Baba storming off, he was unsure of what to do so he grabbed his rifle and followed her with some gas cans to help her however he can.

Baba's plans are as follows:

Step 1: Reach the house, somewhat covertly, preferably from behind.
Step 2: Put on her ballistic mask and do as much recon as she can from outside in the bushes, or wherever she finds to hunker down.
Step 3: Notify Twine of the address while preparing her molotovs.
Step 4: ??? (Depends on the results of the above events. Presumably Hornet, Athena and Zippy will do their part to participate here, and relay any necessary info to Baba.)
Step 5: Light 'em up.
