Chapter 1: The Chase

Overview (For spectator eyes only!)

Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)

Red Team:

Spoiler: Entire Team (click to show/hide)

You all crack open some looted bottles of rum and whiskey to celebrate your successful heist of The Bronze Falcon.
Never again shall you have to bow down to another master by yourselves!
Your celebration however, is quickly cut short, as in the distance behind the ship, you can hear the roar of another ship.
Not just any ship, one of The Bronze Falcon's sister ships, The Steel Rabbit, piloted by the very man who built the vessel you now stand on.
Captain Eagle.

GOAL:
Escape The Steel Rabbit with any force necessary!

Spoiler: GreatWyrmGold (Carl Anderson) (click to show/hide)

The second best weapons engineer to graduate from your college, people always failed to give you the notice you deserved, but you'll make them pay, particularly the one they called "the best". The one with the title of "Flimsy Engineer"

Secondary Goal: Defeat the Flimsy Engineer.

Spoiler: Toaster (Toastarrr) (click to show/hide)

You are the best gunner in the land. Period. Nobody would ever argue against you on that fact.
And yet still Captain Eagle had the nerve to refuse your service. The one who supposedly accepts only the best.
Show him the folly of his decision.

Secondary Goal: Defeat Captain Eagle.

Spoiler: Darkpaladin109 (Problem Sleuth) (click to show/hide)

Two engineers, the best gunner in the land, and a young crewwoman ready for service.
You hired them all. This world doesn't simply offer up it's chances and opportunities to just anyone.
Of all people, you know this best. And you'll see to it that the world will come to realize this, and realize that nothing will stand in your path to victory.

Secondary Goal: Keep your entire crew alive.

Spoiler: Avis-Mergulus (Chief Repairman Mikavi) (click to show/hide)

While others may have preferred to specialize in one craft or another, you could disassemble this floating box of junk and put it back together all by yourself. That's why you were hired, of course.

Secondary Goal: Keep The Bronze Falcon in top condition.

Spoiler: Tiruin (Tiruin) (click to show/hide)

The others are all here for some form of ambition, or quest for gold and fame.
You simply need someone to take you where you need to go, and most importantly, to not ask questions as to why.
You're carrying a secret cargo with you, and you have to keep it safe, or this entire trip will have a waste, in addition to the already mounting dangers.

Secondary Goal: Keep the cargo in your backpack safe and alive.

Blue Team:

Spoiler: Entire Team (click to show/hide)

Captain Eagle snarled.
They actually thought they could get away with stealing one of his ships? One he designed himself with his own two hands?
The Steel Rabbit roared forward, in hot pursuit of the stolen Bronze Falcon.
Those vagabonds wouldn't live to regret this day.

GOAL:
Take down The Bronze Falcon, and recover it from the thieves!

Spoiler: Elephant Parade (Flimsy Engineer) (click to show/hide)

The best weapons engineer to graduate from your college, Captain Eagle hired you for your impressive reputation.

Secondary Goal: Keep The Steel Rabbit's weapons in top shape by the end of the round.

Spoiler: flabort (Captain Eagle) (click to show/hide)

You built these ships yourself, and you'll be darned if you let even a single one slip from your grasp! Or else your name isn't CAPTAIN EAGLE!

Secondary Goal: Capture The Bronze Falcon intact.

Spoiler: Urist Mc Dwarf (Alex Shater) (click to show/hide)

Everybody else has their job. You know yours. But you also know something else. The young girl on The Bronze Falcon is holding with her a cargo that cannot be allowed to live. Your employer paid you well to keep this job discreet. You have been given the equipment you need, and you will not fail.

Secondary Goal: Defeat Tiruin

Spoiler: Corsair (Noren Skystone) (click to show/hide)

You know who it was to organize this raid. The one known as the "Problem Sleuth" has given you trouble more than once before, and now is his time. You've sharpened your blade, and soon his head and neck shall be distant relatives.

Secondary Goal: Defeat the Problem Sleuth.

GM Notes:
I'll draw some more in-depth pictures of the ship interiors and whatnot in the next turn, just trying to get it started right now.

ALSO, remember to spoiler you actions! Please state where your character is.

Spoiler: Map of the ship, everybody look at this so you know where everything actually is. (click to show/hide)

TOP FLOOR

BOTTOM FLOOR

[Toaster]

We need some sort of "team chat" spoiler so we can talk among ourselves.

Also, the action spoiler should probably be named something similar to the below.

Spoiler: Toastarrr Action (click to show/hide)

Head belowdecks and start loading cannons!

[mastahcheese]

I was planning of just combining actions with your character information, to have it all in one place, but if people would rather them be separate, then I can do that instead.

And yes, you can team-chat in spoilers. Just be sure to mention which team you're on in the spoiler name.
Or, if you want you could send a communal PM to the members of your team and just make sure you guys hit "reply to all" so the entire team gets your messages.
I'd do it myself for you guys, but I have enough PMs to deal with at the moment.

[Elephant Parade]

Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

Tinker with the cannons a bit to improve their attack capabilities. I am on the Lower Deck, where all the cannons are.

[flabort]

Spoiler: Cap. Eagle Actions (click to show/hide)

Full Power to the engines! Come at the other ship from above and behind.
I am in the cockpit, manning the controls

Spoiler: Team Blue IC chatter (click to show/hide)

"Roooar! Full power, crew, we are going to capture that ship intact, Alex, I need you ready to climb over the Portward guns and be ready to leap off when we reach her. Stay close. Noren, I need you to do the same. Flimsy, you stay on the ship, ready to blow off her wings if they break away."
He grunted.
"Until then, aim to slow them down, not destroy them."

Spoiler: Team Blue OOC (click to show/hide)

I really do want it in tact, and yes, that is the plan. We should shoot at the wing engines to slow it down, and when we get close, use the opening around the cannons to get on; I'll fly nice and close so falling is less of an issue, and if one of you happens to blow a hole in the hull to get in through, I won't be tooooo upset.

[Tiruin]

I love this mastahcheese. This is a solution to all my questions on how forum games do honest teamplay. <3 For this, I'll suggest a tiny tag at the start. Just a tiny ounce of effort so we know...

Also I totally didn't get the hint that when you said 'character name', you meant 'any name' and not 'forum username' :V

...Tiny query: What do you mean by 'where our character is' there, MC? I have no idea what ship compartment we are in, or where the exact room-locations are. x3

Spoiler: Chat + Action (click to show/hide)

"I find this quite ironic. We're running from the creator of this ship."

Tiruin looked at her weaponry just for checking, before looking at the rest of the people. "I'm not a ship-bound crewman, but I do well in subterfuge, counter-spying and sabotage. If ever we get close to them, let me get on board and strike at their people--back me up, if able.

"As for now, let's keep communications steady. Look to your wrists!"
She tapped the wristpad. It beeped with a monotonous ring.
"If we're separated, we'll speak through this! Anyway, heading to navigation. I'll aid our helmsman...do we have a helmsman?"
((I was originally thinking of a PM system, but this fixes everything))

To navigation! Check coordinates of map -- for any kinds of obstacles or natural obstacles and chart an escape route!
I wonder if there's a storm coming.

[Corsair]

Mastacheese will my combat pool be equal too my dexterity score? also will the normal instakills for assassins be used?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spoiler: action (click to show/hide)

be ready hiding (stealthed) near (but not at) the front but to the side closest to the falcon, if boarding commences sneak aboard then begin stealth killing any individuals who are alone or otherwise unobserved, if  I see the sleuth follow then once I have a chance give him a nice glomp of death, after this is completed or if unable to be done move to bronze falcon command room and death glomp captain

Spoiler: talk (click to show/hide)

yes capt'n the members of that ship will be a distant memory... would killing the captain have any adverse effects on the continues flight of the ship?

[flabort]

You've got a broke tag. Remove the space from the spoiler tag... I tried to avert my eyes from the text within, but it's still out there.

Spoiler: Blue Team IC chatter (click to show/hide)

"It would leave it without control, until you or Alex takes the controls. You can use your own judgement."
Captain Eagle smiles just a bit, his streak of malice showing through for a second.

[Tiruin]

((You're on the same team, so I doubt that it would be bad for you to do so-I averted my eyes here.
Corsair, fix your formatting--in these games, it pays to click that 'Preview' button. ))

[1] I was actually planning on trying this for some murder mystery game, and then I realized I would get very bored after a while with that.
The idea came from USEC Officer when he made a game that used separate threads for the different teams, and I thought "Why not just spoiler them?"
What do you mean by a tag at the start?
[2] Sorry, I was very vague. If I was the one that made the sheet, it probably wouldn't even have had a spot for a name.
[3] ...I was an idiot and forgot to include the ship map. I added it to the turn post.

Mastacheese will my combat pool be equal too my dexterity score? also will the normal instakills for assassins be used?

Since you don't have any actual fighting skills, yes.
And yes, I'm using the critical hit chart for assassinations.


And people, please use the preview button! It could mean the decision between life and death later down the road!

[flabort]

[3] ...I was an idiot and forgot to include the ship map. I added it to the turn post.

I'm surprised you didn't crop the images to just include 1 or 2 of the ships. Displaying the third would only be necessary if there were a third crew. I mean, I included 3 in the blueprints because it's an easily manufactured ship, in theory, and would work well in teams of 3 such ships, but this is a 1 on 1 battle between 2 of the same ship.

It's easier to copy-and-paste a premade image than to copy, open in paint, crop the image, upload to photobucket, and then copy-and-pasting the new URL.
In short, I'm lazy.

[piecewise]

God Speed Mastahcheese. You're flying a ship made mostly of chewing gum and string, in a metaphorical sense.

yeah learnt my lesson now also good with the assassination as being able to instant kill - death glomp anyone who fails a perception check while I am "stealthed" sounded really fun (and open for rampant abuse)

[Avis-Mergulus]

Spoiler: Red Team IC chatter (click to show/hide)

 Mikavi grins, slapping the barrel of his grenade launcher. "Name's Yosef - Yosef Mikavi. I fix things: hull patches, weaponry maintenance, steam heart and mainspring repairs - you name it." A slight frown creases his forehead. "I'm not much good at shooty stuff, though - so if I fire this thing, please duck. I've got enough on my conscience already."

Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

Go check the Supply Room. See if we have spare parts and sheet metal for hull repairs, things like that.
