This seems like a good spot to stop, award some character points, and improve our characters. Since episode 2.6, everyone has made Scrounging rolls. Nick rolled Diplomacy and Knife, Vera rolled Driving, Fast Talk, and Mechanic (Automobile), Marco rolled Knife, Ashly rolled First-Aid. We give out 5 CP. I’m worried I might have missed some…

“Bob and Eddie from Everest. Lawrence and Dina from Alpha Team.” Jim listed the fallen, gravity increasing with every name. “Oscar,” Nick said. “And Oscar.” Jim was addressing a council made up of representatives from each of his teams, along with Vera and her friends, seated around a conference table in the law office of…

The group returned to the theater with disinfectants for Doctor Warren, who’d been hard to work on Amanda, seeing to the scrapes and contusions the wheelchair-bound woman had suffered in the car crash. GURPS: Doctor Warren made his First Aid roll to treat Amanda, aided by Ashly. Amanda heals 2hp, and is up to 3/10……

Since this is a long scenario we’ll take a break now to give our characters some Character Points, assuming they have some time to stop and reflect. Everybody gets 5 cp. So what options do we have for character advancement? Remember, we can only improve skills that our character used during the scenario so far….

“I go visit my sister on my breaks sometimes – the state hospital isn’t far, and we have lunch in the quad. It’s… it was nice.” Toni had calmed down, putting her bat aside, sitting holding the cup of shitty airport vending machine coffee that Vera had grabbed for her. Every so often she’d shoot…

Vera took the lead, through the security doors into the control tower’s base. GURPS: There’s an encounter hook to be heard, here, so everybody gets a Perception check. Vera, Ashly, and Marco succeed, Marco critically. I won’t bother rolling for the NPCs in this instance, but the PCs who hear it have to make –…

After Nick pointed it out, after they’d stopped and their footsteps were silent, the sound of weeping was impossible to miss in the empty terminal. It seemed to be coming not from the gate that Flight 13 was parked in front of, but the one next to it, Gate F. Does the party investigate?5: Yes,…
