So what if............
I could play both Cids, if we past the middle we should go to the end.
Wembley is a bit more manic but I could try.

Topic: TPK as a Solution
Subject: Well..........
I have never tried to DM so I don't have an actual point of reference as to the amount of work that goes into game planning. If it is a canned game then that looks like basiclly following the script. But the DM choses the options or rolls the options.
Now that said, I have played enoung with good DM's to realize they do put time in and that is how they have fun. I can see it looking like a waste of time to them after all that reseach and planning.
But what if the DM just got goofy too? Not a drive toward a TPK but play out the events and make the player roll each of the hits and damage against themselves. NO DM ROLLING AT ALL!!! They roll their own fate. You could have the player across the table roll the character hit and damage. Maybe have each player roll a D20 and low roll does the rolls that round.
So no one rolls their own attacks and such.
The option for the DM could be later to allow a do over and start back where they were after this madness had taken them.
It was all a dream from the swamp gas!!!

When listening to the audio the "thee" and the "sin" sound closely alike, the "n" is just shifted. And the "te" sounds "tay".
I took it the audio was supposed to be Spainish.
So the "Voyeurs of the Roc'n-naughty" is good with me!!

After casting a heal on the ranger crow the Cleric looked around. Clutching his new prized staff Dudley made his toward the cabinet the with the glowing portal above it. Seeing Wembley Dudley handed him the Golden Statue, "Here you can have this..it may do something for you." Looking up at the portal, "We need to go through there and get out of here."
Dudley then climber the case and jumped through the portal.

"Captain Havelock." The Shepherd said, "I read about him and a group of transport crew that found against a mercenary band. " Was that you people?"
Asher felt a bit of pride that folks knew they'd done right by the passenger, he hoped others might cotton to help folks in need.
"We lost a good man, truth of the matter was, we did what had t' be done in order t' survive. Heroin' usually get's ya killed. It doesn't keep yer ship in the sky an' yer crew fed." Wyatt kinda answered as the kid felt, but what Shepherd said next bothered him.
"Mighty brave of you. Standing against so many for the lives of a group of people you never knew before you rescued them." He continued, "Were you well rewarded in the end?...I would have thought that after saving so many rich and generous folks that you be livng large and putting the fright trade behind you?"
Now the kid felt a twinge of anger, what's a Shepard asking about rewards for? Weren't they all about doing good for the sake of doing good? Asher was about to call the Shepherd on reward comment but he caught Wyatt's glace to Willow and held his tongue.
Mr. Morningstar went on to tell about where the 42nd was resting and it didn't sound good. Uncleared territory for graves would make it dangerous to take Havelock there but that's what they all agreed to do. The explained it may take some time clear things enough to get in there. The Shepherd then offer that Mr. Morningstar should get them a free room in town.
"Perhaps Virgil could get you a few complimentary rooms at the hotels in town? Or we have a five star Noodle House in town?" Shepherd Carson suggests quietly.
Wyatt answered for them.
"Actually,Stickin' 'round a bit might provide me an' mine with some time t' line up our next set o' fares. ..An' while I appreciate yer offer of hospitality, it ain't necessary. Thank you kindly all the same. You can drop a wave our way when it's safe t' take Havelock home. 'Til then, I don't plan on muckin' about much so you can find us back at our ship if'n ya need us."

Yeah a few of these would good. White Phosphorus grenade?, flares?
The gear chute would be useful but for non essential item in our case. But I'll give it check to see what might be good in the sand. The rest of you can suggest stuff too.
Maybe some snow shoes or skies. Motorcycles would just bog down.
BTW - Cool post Gruggmaster!

Well if we get shotguns and shells then there would most likely be rock salt at the air field for ice removal. We can load our own during the flight by replacing the pellets with rock salt. Should be able to do a few dozen rounds in six hours.

Subject: Watch................
The shaman was pleased to see that the team had done well to meet this attack. He gave a quick prayer of thanks to the children of mother earth for granting him their blessing to drive the flames over their foes. As the vermin shrieked and ran Ody watched carefully to see if any of remaining enemy fled. With the three tunnels leading out of the chamber surely there were traps but the fleeing rat-men would know the safe way out.

Subject: Time...............
Capt'n Luke finished up, "Alright team, we have one hour before we're expected at airfield 4. I will see all of you there in thirty minutes, fully prepared. Bring whatever you can to destroy or repel this ancient Egyptian vermin. I'm sure they're still in there somewhere. They always are. Bring ammo, bring light. Bring your guts and bravery. Let's go!"
Jack could see the team starting figure up what extra things they could take along, "you folk don't get carried away adding extra stuff to your kit. You get that over 95 pounds and you risk not getting up off the ground. I don't want to see no broken legs cuz you want to carry extra salt. The Colonel ‘l bet more than likely'l have a supply chute ready for us, so just take what'cha can carry."
Like the rest of the team Doc kept a kit ready, a few minor adjustments to sure everything was secure and he was ready to head to the field.

Just sorts got them Hellboy movies in my head.
Doc is going to warn folks about trying to pack too much gear.
Think 95 pounds max, Doc don't want to fix broken legs from hitting the ground with too much stuff. I would guess that there is gear in seperate chuted payloads. That was standard operating procedure, carry what you could and follow your extra down, usually they had red or dark chutes so you could track them better.

Topic: Weird War II Q n A
Subject: Night Drop?
It wasn't said, but are we doing a night drop? That is are parachuting in? Just to help the mind set on what to get ready. Packing for a jump and packing for a truck in are different.
How about us having them experimental guided chutes?
We wouldn't do HALO jumps but still special chutes with pull cords to help direct flight. Early training used the main straps to guide left or right. A cord to a top opening to increase drop speed by letting air pass through quicker and then close it off to slow the drop. Maybe a special shape, two pocket chutes seamed in the middle to allow sharper left or right directions, they could called Angel Wings. Night chutes would be black or dark green.
Gee... I'm starting to sound like a gear guy...lol.

Well Dudleys heal on Crow may get him down to Light. So if Gamard heals Mal then Dudley has one spell left and can heal Gamard. That should get us all down to just light wounds.
Crow - Critical wounds
Gamard - Serious wounds
Dudley - Light wounds
Alondas -Light wounds
Wembley - light wounds
Mal - Serious wounds
We could use some R&R to finish healing and rejuice our spells. Should try for the Spa?

So 20 wounded and 5 managed to avoid the hurt but will have to run around the wall of flames. that means one more combat round to finish them off. I would think we should allow some to escape and watch which tunnel they take. I'd bet they know which isn't a trap.

Shinara granted Dudley's prayer and through his touch released a warmth of healing into the Cid Wembley. As the spell coursed out of Dudley the colors returned to his world.
Watching as the last of the Iron men finally falls the little sees the human ranger standing over it tire, hurt and bleeding. Lowering the staff Dudley stepped over to Crow and once again called Shinara. The cleric still another prayer for healing. Placing a hand on the human ranger Dudley asked for healing for his friend.

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Yes Sir....................
Jon watched the Baron glance roll over the crew and the ship. Jon felt this isn't a person that misses much in glance. "Captain Brown." He said slowly and smiled, "Captain Jon Brown. Jon Brown. " Jon was getting mixed impressions of this man. The Baron repeated his name three time, reminiscent of those memory games he was taught in officer training. " That is a nice looking ship you have there. I don't much about ships but something about that one is, well, like looking a Black Bellerophon mare coming down a gangplank - you know there is a lot of goodness to be had." The baron shook Jon's hand. Jon took that as worried compliment. Destiny was a rare item and he hoped the Baron wasn't thinking of adding her to his stable. Before Jon could say more the Baron turned to Seth.
"Seth my boy! Good to see you. Good to see you." He gave the big bodyguard a arm clasp with warmth and then pulled a badge out of his pocket to hand to Seth, "This is for you, so you can carry your weapons onboard. Keyed to your DNA so the scanners know to let you through."
"Baron, " Seth said seriously, "You should know that Asante ..."
"Hold on Son," the Baron stopped him, "The Captain already got me a message and we will talk but right now I need you to do something for me. I need you to watch over Lilliana from now and until the ceremony. I no doubt she probably doesn't want to see me."
"You are very right there Baron," Seth agreed.
"Well I understand that, we have been fighting a lot the past few days. You keep her safe. I trust you Seth."
"Yes Baron."
The Baron turned back to Jon and JC, "Now gentlemen. JC was it? You go over there to the security folk and show them your arm and I am sure they can make it right as rain,.. Captain, How about we take a walk away from the dock here," gesturing down the airlock corridor toward the cruise liner.
Jon fell into step with the impressive man. Once clear of area Baron Fairchild continued."Now Captain. I have to start by saying I think that a grave mistake was made on the part of my go between Mr. Badger and you. The price I offered to pay for daughter's safe transport was much higher than what was offered you. Now that is what you get when you use go-betweens and middle men. So let me tell you - I want to do right by you. I want you to keep Lilianna on your ship until the ceremony tomorrow. Do not let anyone see her - not even me. I figure you are the safest place right now for her, one way in, heavily guarded and no chance of sneaking by. Then when the time comes tomorrow, you, Seth and as many of your crew you'd like to bring can come for the festivities. You do that for me son and I will add a 0 to the payment. Can you do that favor for me? It would mean the world to me and I would be very appreciative. Lots of people to the party who need transport, and I'll introduce with my personal recommendation." Jon had to admit the man was smooth and very experienced at placing the carrot to get his way. But Jon needed more to size him up.
"Well sir I have to agree that Miss Lillianna would be safest aboard Destiny. If Asente made the wedding plans then she most likely has her people among those hired to service the wedding. "
The Baron encouraged Jon to continue. "Now tell me about Asante and this kidnapping plot. You know, there was something about her that I never trusted."
Jon pressed on to see how Fairchild would react."To be honest with you Baron we are concerned, In this short time we have come to care about your step daughter. Asente alluded to having an affair with someone important here at the wedding. She seems to know a lot more than a hired person should. Then by trying to play on the stories of Templeton's weapon failures during the war she tried to get us to join up with her. She was saying her team wanted to hold Miss Lillianna ransom for the platinum rights you are demanding from Templeton to even the score. From what we have been able to find out she was in convert operations during the war, I have to admit I met her then but didn't remember her. Now she has turned that into job. She's dangerous and lives are not her concern. ,,We haven't seen the last her,,.Sir, Miss Lillianna deserves to be safe and happy and we're here to help that happen."
The Baron and the Captain return. The baron smiles charmingly and goes over to make sure that JC is cleared to come on board. He then says loudly enough for all to hear, "Thank you for your hard work and efforts bring my daughter to her wedding ceremony. I understand there was some peril and although I am sure you face it daily in your life, I want to know I consider it very heroic." He pulls out a number of cards out of his wallet and passes them to the crew on the bay - Angela, JC, Stephanie, Catie and Jon. "These are good for 100 credits in the gift shops or casinos on the "Rim's Dream". Play a few hands on me or buy yourself something nice. You all are on my personal guest list so you may go most places on the ship and enjoy the amenities."
With that he turns to the brothers, "Rick and AJ Simon? You two are with me. Leave your gear here, you won't need it and you will be coming back here later I am sure."
The Brothers looked at each other and J nodded. The two of them left with the Baron.
As the Baron walked away Jon still wasn't sure he'd got a read on the man. Turning back to the crew Jon told them about Lillianna staying on Destiny until the wedding. "Ok..Tess and Grace will keep Lillianna safe. The rest of us need to put on our party clothes and start to mingle. The Baron us gave run of the ship so let's go see what we can do for the Princess."
