So far you've seen Sherman lead Loudain to the elevator while Charles stays back at the service exit door in the corridor
Sherman calls the Elevator, the doors immedaitely open
he pushes Loudain inside, and as he does so, the metal bar he's holding drops onto the floor
and he curses
RallinaTricolor - Today at 7:57 PM
is she still restrained?
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 7:58 PM
yes
RallinaTricolor - Today at 7:58 PM
I'd like to set my tripwire across the elevator door and call it up as long as she's the only one in it
so that if she tries to rush me she'll fall
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 7:58 PM
ok, you're doing that now?
RallinaTricolor - Today at 7:58 PM
yeah
and then call it up
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 7:59 PM
ok, you head over to the elevator and place the tripwire
RallinaTricolor - Today at 7:59 PM
hang on do I hear Victoria yell, 'Go'?
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 7:59 PM
you just left the control room, so nope~
RallinaTricolor - Today at 7:59 PM
kk
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:00 PM
well RIP me
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:00 PM
hahaha
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:00 PM
this should be interesting
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:00 PM
I'm still not entirely sure wtf is going on
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:00 PM
I like to believe
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:01 PM
I've only gotten partial plans from some of the others
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:01 PM
they wouldn't let Loudain back in control
she'd be far worse than Warrick
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:01 PM
definitely
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:02 PM
btw did the bar fall inside the elevator
or outside?
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:02 PM
in between
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:02 PM
oh lovely
so is it wedging the door open?
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:02 PM
yep ;)
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:02 PM
LOL
THOSE IDIOTS
THEY HAVE NO IDEA
THAT THE ELEVATOR DOWN WAS MY PLAN
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:03 PM
wasn't your action to call up the elevator though?
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:03 PM
would it get called up
with it blocked?
ah they can just remove it
hang on
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:03 PM
not yet, depends how long they have it blocked for
you're currently setting the tripwire
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:03 PM
okay let me clarify something
if I saw them block the door open
I would have gone for plan B
I had thought you meant Loudain had the bar with her
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:04 PM
hmm
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:04 PM
like presumably the sequence of events is
I see Loudain go in the elevator
I see the bar get dropped
the door does not shut
-> I would not call teh elevator
if I can see that
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:05 PM
you didn't wait to see if the door shut
you just said you went to go set the tripwire
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:05 PM
fair, but I was also saying I confirmed nobody else was inside before calling
and I can't do that with the door open
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:06 PM
well nobody else was inside at the time you set off, the door just hadn't full shut yet
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:06 PM
ok
well I am at least
expecting the elevator
if it doesn't come up
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:06 PM
hmm, I'm a bit torn here
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:06 PM
I will smash the timer on the blast door
yeah it's a complicated issue
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:07 PM
yeah, a lot of people acting at the same time
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:07 PM
yeah
but my plan has always been
if there was ANY funny business
to smash the blast door timer
because I assume they're going to kill me
before I achieve my objective
like if I hit the call button
and don't hear movement
etc.
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:08 PM
well the main thing is that the obstruction might have been removed by the time you press the call button
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:08 PM
ah
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:08 PM
beucase it'll take a couple of mintues to set the tripwire
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:08 PM
sure
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:09 PM
I don't actually know yet what the otehrs are doing
I know just as much as you at this point, that victoria yells "go"
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:09 PM
ok
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:09 PM
what was plan B btw?
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:09 PM
smash the blast door timer
and if there's time the console
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:09 PM
ah ok
well there might still be a chance, they might not be expecting the tripwire
assuming they come up
which I don't know yet
sorry, this has been a bit of a mess. I'm glad you're a D&D host
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:10 PM
nah it's fine lol
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:10 PM
so you appreciate some of this a little more
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:10 PM
but I would in fact like to double check
after the tripwire
before I actually hit the call button
I wasn't actually aware
that it takes af ew minutes
but that works in my favor lol
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:11 PM
double check?
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:12 PM
the video camera
as I can see outside the elevator
make sure i still have count of everyone
if it takes me a few minutes to set the tripwire
they could have easily just reopened the doors
and gotten in
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:13 PM
hmm, that's why I was asking for clarification before
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:13 PM
yeah sorry I figured tripwire was like
a 10s thing
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:13 PM
the problem is that you know things you shouldn't
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:13 PM
yeah
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:13 PM
like the "go"
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:13 PM
but I don't think it's unreasonable
that Warrick for example
if he had to delay hitting call
wouldn't double check the vid feed
as he was trying to make sure she was the only one in the elevator
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:14 PM
hmm, I really wish ctom were online. It would be helpful to have someone I can share all the stuff with so far
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:14 PM
yeah
I am trying to basically not factor in any meta knowledge
but I also knwo that Warrick is paranoid as fuck
his backup plans for the past day have literally been "if they do anything fishy try to kill all of them" lol
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:15 PM
yeah, I trust you above anyone except ctom in that regard
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:15 PM
yeah
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:16 PM
yeah that's why I was surprised you didn't specify that you checked the cameras and made sure everyone backed off etc
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:16 PM
yeah I had kind of been figuring
sec
"I'd like to set my tripwire across the elevator door and call it up as long as she's the only one in it"
from earlier
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:17 PM
I suppose it can be read 2 ways
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:17 PM
and my original intent was off base on it
as I didn't know tripwire was a few minutes
I had initially kind of figured
make sure door closes, hit call
set tripwire
as it's coming up
but Warrick would know that isn't feasible
and I think if he had seen the metal bar fall in a place where it would prevent the door being shut, he would hesitate on calling as well
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:21 PM
I was surprised you didn't ask more details about that
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:22 PM
yeah I had read "on the ground"
and it didn't register
that it was blocking
I thought it was in the elevator
with loudain
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:22 PM
although what you overlook, warrick might overlook
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:22 PM
well I mean Warrick can also see its location
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:22 PM
not perfectly, there are a couple of people moving around etc
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:23 PM
ah kk
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:23 PM
I think I'll probably wait for ctom to get a 3rd party verdict on it for now
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:23 PM
sure
but assuming I can't see it exactly
let's go with what I originally thought
Warrick misses it blocking the door
thinks they're giving it to Loudain to kill him with
goes to set up tripwire
which my original thought process lol
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:26 PM
ok thanks. I'm going to hold off on this for now until I can run it past ctom
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:26 PM
yeah for sure
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:30 PM
I just hope ctom pops on tonight
I think he might have a D&D game tonight?
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:31 PM
I don't know, unfortunately
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:31 PM
sorry, I feel like I screwed things up a bit here
jumped the gun a little
I didn't want to give you too many details as it would give away the plan
like I remember in HoF1, ctom's character had a gun with a bullet loaded
and someone gave him a sabotaged bullet
and I had to ask him whether he loaded the bullet etc
which I was worried might tip his hand that there was something off with it
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:34 PM
nah I mean it happens
really the only things I'd consider sticking points are that if it took me a few minutes to set the tripwire and I had specified that I wanted to make sure she was the only one in the elevator, I would have checked the cameras
and that if anything seemed at all off about the exchange I was just going to take the nuclear option
which I think we talked about yesterday or saturday
sorry it's kind of a blur for me too lol
been a busy few days
I'm sure it's been real rough on you as GM lol
so much shit going on
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:36 PM
haha yeah, it hasn't helped that sherman didn't send in an action PM with his plan
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:36 PM
yeah
that's rough
Sunleaf_Willow ／(^ x ^=)＼ - Today at 8:36 PM
so I only had what other people said he wanted to do
which wasn't necessarily what sherman thought he was meant to do
RallinaTricolor - Today at 8:36 PM
yeah
