"...I'll go find a good spot again real quick, nothing's happened so no harm no foul, right?"


Look down at the lightning rifle.  Look over at the captive and very shockable Nazi.  Look back at the rifle.  Sigh.

Pack all the guns back up and then go with Alice to find a good sniping perch that has a view of the Nazi room's window.  Be sure to use the De lisle to silently shoot anyone who is seen setting up an escape route for the Nazis.

Well if you find any trouble, just tweet, Tala said, knowing Simon had the other birdwhistle...or was that Bob? Hold on, I've a birdwhistle we can use to communicate if ever the handie-talkie doesn't.

Anyway she gives Simon one of them as he goes over...to the...other building to overlook the building she's outside of?

Bob will start listening onto the non-car radio, seeing whether he can pick up teammates broadcasts to see what they're up to. Continue staking

I'd like to get just a couple more details from our German pal.
1) How many men?
2) Is the press here in the hotel?
3) If so, he mentioned multiple rooms. Do they have a suite or simply multiple connecting rooms?
4) if not, where is it located?
5) what time is the Kraut expected to report back to his fellows?


((TFW the printing press is in a hotel...err, how is that even possible?))

Any news? How goes your drinks, Edward? Tala radioed in onto the only guy with professional mechanical skill. I'm wondering if we can order some room service while we're at it. I really wanted to do something with whomever we're supposed to find. Oh, also no luck with any skeleton key. You'll have to pick the lock.

She then flipped the radio to communicate with Simon. How's the weather up there buddy?

Look at the building from the outside. Admire the possible verandas or stuff, and imagine how anyone could get out from the third floor, if for example--there were people overhearing that German's...German.
((you are thinking, perhaps, of industrial style printing presses. Older presses were smaller and hand operated. They would easily fit into a hotel room. The operation of one wold likely be noticeable to neighboring rooms though. But, a non-standard pamphlet press could be made small enough to be less obvious. And they aren't mass producing their flyers, tehy are making small bundles of them for the local neighborhood.))

Great. I get to pick multiple locks that I cannot reach because they are probably on the inside of the door, to face off with multiple men who are armed, and who are ready themselves to explode at a moment's notice. I think my deadman's gambit will probably be redundant.

Tala, we need people watching the exits and entrances to the hotel, immediately. They may already be packing up to leave. I don't know if these men are willing to set themselves on fire along with the hotel, but the odds of them burning the place down are less with them inside, I think.

Wait until nightfall, then Climb the wall to the third floor. Stealthily tie a rope to the outside, to create a possible route of entrance.

Got it, coordinating the watchers. As a total aside; was wondering if I could dress up as room service and check. Anyway, I'll warn management. I may need another person out here with me just in case things get messy.

Tala tuned in to the other 888th not part of the interrogation, including Radioman.
Requesting all eyes on this building. I need that van on the ready too, in case there are any runners. I'm outside and watching. Simon, rent a room opposite; we are all not to neutralize, but find out connections. Radio, can you pick up other messages outgoing or incoming around you other than us?

She noted the possibility of radio intercepted messages--or any kind of messaging system as the printers would have needed a way to get their information somehow.

Also ponder on if there are any services or devices I can temporarily disconnect and reconnect (like a power outage or something).


((As there is no action to attack or breach, yet, I'll be action'ing to warn the management later on))

He's new, and judging by his profile, pretty new. :P I'm unsure why he's not communicating though. :-\

Go help Simon stakeout.
When I get there:

Ack! We've been had boys, the jig is up! Let's skedaddle!

Go check out the outside of the building where the room in question is in, and try to locate where their room is (stealthily, of course, me being the very face of subtlety). If they were to use a rope ladder to try and climb down, about where would they end up?

Unfortunately their room's window is pointed out at the park rather than the buildings behind the apartment so there's no real good vantage point in a classical sense. About the best you'd get is a large bush with a good view of the room, unless you want to construct some sort of tree platform, but that might be more obvious than stealthy.

You listen to everything that anyone on the team says over the radio. Not sure what that is, honestly, some people seem to be communicating via psychic abilities or meta knowledge.

Go help Simon stakeout.
When I get there:
”hey Simon, can you tell me what we should do? I’m not very sure what I am doing. Also, can you tell me the plan? I haven’t really…figured that out yet.

You go hang out with simon, intent on helping him on his sniper duty. Good thing too, he was all set to shoot you if you did that other action.

Oh, important point: When you post in my games, make sure to only post one action. If you post an action and then want to do a different action instead, either edit the original post or go back and delete it when you post another action in a new post. Otherwise I might not know which one you want done, or might miss one, or any other number of things.

Spoiler: Radioman (click to show/hide)
You look at the fire plan map for the building and then head outside and try to match the location of the rooms with the windows. You search for a few minutes until you think you've found the right window for the corresponding room. If they were to climb down out of it, they would end up on the front sidewalk of the building, a good distance from the entrance, about halfway along the curve of the structure. Nothing really here, as far as you can see.

Given the description that the radioman got, it's probably best to set our bestsniper Simon somewhere outside, so he can use his handy suppressed scoped rifle to prevent or punish any cheeky sneaking out the window these guys attempt. If they know they'll get shot if they go out the window, and aren't suicidal, they can't set the bomb off without going up with it.

Anyway, assuming Simon does that I'll be outside with him. I have binoculars! I'm useful! And less likely to get shot this way!


Spoiler: Alice! (click to show/hide)
You join the increasingly large group hiding in a bush in the park.


Im assuming HQ will pick him up or something. So I'll leave him, and join the assault team thing.

Assault team is, at this point, far smaller than the backup team.

1.4
2. Yes, in that room. They brought it in over time in pieces. Its in the bedroom.
3. Their suite basically has one large central room and then smaller connected rooms.
4. Moot
5. A few hours, or the morning. He's not always best at being punctual.


Its currently nighttime by the way, to those who don't know. About 7:30pm.

I think I am communicating mostly through Radio, in person, or from meta-lack-of-knowledge (as in, I have no idea who isn't within reach. But all my actions have assumed either direct contact (in the bar, or in the interrogation room), or communication via handy-talky. I think.

Alright. One final preparation and I'll be off. Can I make an explosive small enough to blow open a hotel door without significantly damaging the rest of the building? and do we ... does anyone have any flashbangs, smoke grenades, or other disorientation devices, not counting Radio, who is by nature a disorienting device?

If i can't get any "shock and awe with minimal collateral damage" devices, I'll just take the assault team, position them in strategic places (out of sight, preferably) in the third floor hallway, and knock.

Oh, ... it'd be nice to have access to a nearby room or suite, so I can run into that when the firefight possibly starts, though.


Looks like we're doing this the old fashioned way. Take the assault team and place them in strategic locations down the hall from the Nazi Propaganda Pact, and stand well away from the action, Luger at the ready.

Take point on the assault, kick the door in if no explosives. Knife out, smg only if they're not in rushing range.
