It's a man made object, and it's not bolted into the ground so I'll assume four or six of you could carry it if you put your backs into it.

If I used a willpower to investigate further, would I actually learn anything more? can't access my character sheet so I can't remember how many points I had in computers

You'd be rolling 11 die (intelligence + computers + willpower) trying to get 5 success. It's possible but I would consider it slightly frivolous in terms of what you may get out, you'd just be confirming that one of the three people did it of which one is currently tied up in the corner of the room after having tried to stab another player.

If you wanted to, It'd be best just to spend time hacking away at it.

I was originally typing out that Swan suggests we keep its face covered, stake its heart, cut off its head, stuff its mouth with garlic, douse it in petrol, carry it into the sun, set it on fire and use any explosives we have lying around on it.

Then I remembered his whole thing is debunking cryptozoology so lets take a look at what these corporate drones are so worked up over. Probably just a preserved corpse with a genetic defect.

I thought maybe after all the plot plot plot I'd stick everyone together in the same area but I guess maybe that's made it super confusing. :shrug:

Am I correct in assuming that unless a character specifically indicates they are keeping information from the rest of us, whenever we meet up we do an implied debrief and can go back and read relevant posts?

That's the end of night one. Everyone is present back inside now it is "day time". Anyone who was asleep at this moment regains. Willpower. Anyone who acted in line with their vice regains 1 willpower.

Everyone can roleplay out conversations, or can just assume to be up to speed with the night's happenings. If you want to post any dilaogue to npcs you can, you also may want to deal with nile's wounds, and you are doing about anita.

This was phone posted and thus, wasn't highlighted clearly which has added to confusion.

I'll recap first, then I'll deal with outstanding actions, then I'll group people up again to reign in the confusion.

Previously on ...Survivor Hunter The Vigil.

After surviving their first day in Antarctic base, the tribe members retired for the night. But not before some found evidence of foul play in the base.

"Well poo poo guys. Something is going on and it looks like one of our hosts is in on it. We need to be absolutely certain about who it is before we approach the others. If we can't be certain then we should approach all three of them as a group, if we approach whoever is behind this alone by accident we're probably dead meat. How certain are we that we can trust everyone that came with us?

And does anyone have any idea what the gently caress a "dark parliament" is?

She slices with the knife with a diagonal motion opening up a bloody shallow wound across your chest.

Shoving the camera right in her face you fire a shot. Not only is this shot in future years a Pulitzer prize winning photograph, but it'll be bootlegged on the cover of a Scandinavian Black Metal album. A fact that will irk you as they will never pay you a penny. On the other side of the coin, Anita will never again see properly out of her right eye and suffers a permanent -3 to combat rolls.

For using a cruel and unusual punishment on a person, and permanently disfiguring them you must roll to avoid a loss of morality,

You suffer the following derangement.

Voyeur
- You are fascinated by death and violence, before engaging in combat you must successfully take a photo of events in front of you or suffer -2 to all combat rolls. Failure to have your camera with you in combat grants you - 3 to all combat rolls.




Now the tribe has to work out what Anita is talking about when she says people are going to come and kill everyone, what to do with this mysterious corpse on the slab, and how they're going to get out of Antartica.

Seven left, who will be voted out killed or derranged tonight?

Turns out there is a free rules add-on I didn't know about, and it's changed how some things in combat work. I think it's okay, so next combat round the dice may be done a bit differently, it makes it more like oWoD where it's now impossible to "graze" someone with a gun and do only 1 point of damage.

Talking about Canada? Oh that was something I read that when they had to rescue someone they flew a trained flight crew from Canada to fly the plane to Antarctica.

edit: I looked at it as a bad cop type situation. If you had for example "picked the pipe up and threatened her" or actually hit her maybe we'd go down a slippery slope but I just figured you were doing a clint eastwood thing.

double edit: Ahhh I meant a crew from the country of canada, not a plane that had flown directly from canada. If that makes sense.

Just the logs, I'm sorry if you indicated otherwise, but you can attempt to hack the system although it'd be harder to do and wouldn't be a case of "I try I win" like before where you were just rolling success until you got a critical success.
