Seamus, if you'd like to try to charm Amelia, you may. Let's start with an APP x 3 roll (36% in your case). If you fail, you may try again later with possible bonuses, depending on the circumstances.

FYI, when I ask for ability score rolls (when no skill is appropriate), I usually test them according to the following scale:

x6 (or more) - A common task that only carries with it some small chance of failure (especially if performed under difficult circumstances)
x5 - A common task that has some chance of failure but that the average person could succeed with often
x4 - A common task that has some chance of failure but that the average person would fail at more often than he would succeed
x3 - A difficult task but success is still within the reach of those without specialized training
x2 - A difficult task that will require a great deal of luck to complete successfully
x1 - A nearly impossible task without specialized training

Catching an irritated Amelia's eye is a difficult task.

Allrighty, Seamus will try an awkward charm:

No dice on this try, but as I said, you can try again later. I'll include your "charm failure" in my next post.

I am going to have an unusually busy week, so my posting may be sketchy for the next three days. Post back and forth as you are able.

PM sent to Seamus regarding what he remembers of the provenance of the journal article.

Continue to discuss as you like. This would also be a good time to finalize your plans for your trip.

Don't worry about being precise about how (in the 1920s) you'd get there. Drive or take the train, it will still take you almost an entire day to get down there (and we can fast-forward through the trip as much as you'd like). The train is simpler, easier, and cheaper, but driving there (if your concepts support you all having a car or two) would be more advantageous, since you'll have a means of getting around in NC.

Are you guys done with this scene? Are you ready to press on as Bennett outlines the plan?

Even if you are too busy this weekend to get a post up (I know some of you have a lot going on this weekend), please reply here, at least, to let me know if we are ready to move on.

Yes, I'm ready to go to NC--we can do some "hands on" sleuthing.

Kirk is ready to go as soon as there's clarity about appointments and car availability (referring to his last question).

Giving everyone one last post in this current thread. If you want to use that post to excuse yourself, you can. If you want to keep talking/planning, you can do that too. The travel thread will be up shortly, and I'll make both threads available to you to finish up things

There is a train for Raleigh that leaves tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 8:30 am. It arrives in Elizabeth City, NC at midnight. A similar train runs each day, Monday through Friday. If you don't want to leave tomorrow morning, speak quickly.

I noticed my previous post in the lunch IC has disappeared (where I start about the Armstrong ghost). Something wicked definitely is going on here

It was probably my fault. From another topic:

Quote from: Mort on October 30, 2010, 07:15:50 PM

For the last five years I have used a particular forum software that is a part of a larger educational package designed to deliver content to students. That forum software has its "Quote Post" button in exactly the same place as this forum software has its "Delete Post" button. As a GM I quote a lot of posts in my responses, and have five years worth of pre-programing to go for the wrong button. Also, I do all of my surfing (which really is very little) with all forms of scripting turned off. Thus on the few occasions recently when I have, out of habit, accidentally pressed the "Delete Post" button instead of the "Quote Post" button, the post has been deleted without warning; no pop-up confirmation box (the "are you really sure" dialog box) appears, because they are generated with javascript.

I worked out a fix for my problem (read: stupidity), so it shouldn't happen again.

The entire contents of your post are quoted in mine, so you are lost but not forgotten. Sorry.

Five things:

-Finish up in the Chapter 3 thread as/if needed. If Seamus wants to take another shot at charming Amelia he can try in the Chapter 3 thread. ~~If you need a little prompt, let me know and I'll post there with Amelia's reappearance.~~ Done.

-Someone needs to go knock on the door to get the info from Amelia (Seamus could try the charm there too). Your train leaves at 8:30. The train station is about a 20 minute cab ride from here to there, so you've got some time. You will, however, need two cabs to get all four of you and your luggage there.

-If you are packing anything out of the ordinary--something that might make a Keeper say, "You brought that!?!?"--now's the time to let me know, and I'll add it to your sheet.

-This is the end of the first "act," so those of you who got "skill checks" can roll now here to see if those skills improve.

-As usual, I may not post Monday and/or Tuesday.

Nothing special except a flashlight, which is maybe not that common in those years? Wikipedia mentions the first model in 1899 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashlight

Besides fancy clothes, Felix would carry a small set of picks (in his pocket, as usual) should his locksmith skills be needed.
