FYI I love this, I love you and I love Jurassic Park, but I cannot contribute anything as I must wake up early in the morning. Make sure you archive it!

This is bullshit, why are we trying to fix shit instead of gettting off this fucking island?

And you're bad at this OP. Not from a storytelling perspective, but from how you handle dice rolls. You ask for dice to be rolled, but you don't go with the first roll. You wait for a high roll. This takes away the danger when the character succeeds every time because you wait. If you do that, then don't have any dice rolls at all and just have the character succeed.

It isn't any fucking fun if you don't know how to do it right.

>>14186530

I don't wait for the high roll, wait for 15 min., most of the time, before posting. It's just that a high roll is usually made in that time. Perhaps I should post more often?

>>14186550
THAT IS NOT HOW ROLLING WORKS, MAN.

>>14186550
That doesn't make any sense. That isn't how rolling is utilized in quests. If you roll, you have to go with the first roll. Fifteen minutes gives people time to do a shit ton of rolls, and that removes all the danger and chance out of it, because within that time, someone is statistically going to get a pretty high roll.

I think you're trying to merge two different ideas. The first being rolling for actions, and the second waiting for 15 minutes to wait for a consensus of actions.

If you want to do that, you should wait 15 minutes for people to come to a consensus of what to do, and then you should ask for a success roll, and take the first roll to determine success. Your quest would improve dramatically. Good luck.

>>14186577

Hmmm, you're right. Well, taking the first roll does make sense. It's what I'll do then.

>>14186506
Check on the turbines in Geothermal. We need to see if they're still operational and generating power.
Then we need to check the primary power conduits.

>>14186577
>>14186558
>>14186530
How about you shut the fuck up and let us keep having fun, asshole? If you don't like it, get out.

>>14186610
agreed. can we get to the control room?

>>14186681

Control room was back up the rope. You guys are at the bottom of the shaft that had the water tank in it. About 20 ft. down.

> Here is the last thread: JPQ 8
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/14128324/

> Last post from OP:
The floor circles the tank, and you can see the fail-safe valve on the piping leading from under the tank. Pieces of red, curved metal litter the floor. Some of them are pretty big. There are two doorways. One of them has no door and is completely charred, the other is in better condition with a hallway leading off. You can hear machinery from the hallway, probably leads to the turbines.

>>14186695
Go towards the sound of the turbines. If they're running, we need to check and make sure they're still generating power.

>>14186758
Seconded.

You head down the hallway, and hear the machinery growing louder. You enter a large room and find the turbine. A couple of the fire team are taking care of leftover fires with extinguishers. As you look at the turbine, you notice that it's slowing down quickly.

>>14186807
Is there a computer control terminal around here? We need diagnostics on what systems and units are still operational.

If there's nothing here, we need to check the geothermal tap and the water pump, see if they can be repaired or if they need replacement.

>>14186807
ask the firefighters what they saw.

rolled 8 = 8

>>14186807
I guess the thing that exploded was important. Let's check it out. Unasked for mechanics check to see if we know that i wrong with the turbines.

>>14186888
Crap

>>14186833

Computer systems were up at the control room, they were destroyed.

>>14186841
What do you mean?

>>14186888
All the steam vented during the explosion, there isn't enough to keep the turbine spinning.

>>14186973
>A couple of the fire team are taking care of leftover fires with extinguishers.

what did they see when they got there? were pipes leaking steam or was just a valve open? if the computers have been destroyed then the power plant is essentially useless though. what do we have for backup power?

>>14187018

A portable generator with the fire crew is providing lighting for the building, but the lighting is scattered, since some wires were damaged by fire.

"Well, by the time we came into the building, most of the steam had leaked out. All that was left were some fires that the steam didn't put out."

>>14186973
Radio Dispatch:
"Dispatch, this is Porter. I'm fucked down here. The fire destroyed the computers and the primary water tank is burst. Even if we got the steam pipes patched, I can't get Geothermal running without computer support and a bigger repair team."

>>14187067

At first, you get the impression he's talking to himself more than you.

"*static*....This is still salvageable, we can still save the park." Then he addresses you.

"Porter, that sounds like it's going to take a couple days to do, maybe even a week. We don't have that kind of time. I have a job for you. There's an old hydroelectric plant that we built on northern fork of the river. After we built the new hydro plant, we deactivated it. I need you and your team to get over to that plant and see about reactivating it. Oh, and Porter? I'm giving you a raise."

>>14187216
...I don't understand. They're not retardedly angry at us for our inability to do the impossible? they're.... pleased with us? They're taking sensible action? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH MANAGEMENT?!?!?!

Also, go get our team together and do what they just told us to. See if we can contact the DRTs, see if any of them have been in the area recently and can give us the scoop about any dangerous dinosaurs in the area that are out of their cages.

>>14187216
let's go. suggest we take the road around the western edge of the island.

Why is this island shaped like South America

>>14187334

To clarify, the river he is referring to is the one the Jungle River Ride is on. But that's the southern fork, the hydro plant is on the northern plant.

>>14187387

Fork, I meant northern fork. Not northern plant.

>>14187368

Ian Malcolm would say fractals.

>>14187216

Rodger dispatch.

Head out, talk to Emanuel and the other dude and make haste for the Hydro plant.

Check the map. Curious as to where this old Hydro plant is at.

>>14187395
oh fuck them, it's up by the raptors isn't it?

>>14187426

Your map doesn't say.

>>14187489

Dispatch, where exactly is the old Hydro plant located at?

>>14187571

"*static*...In the Pteranodon Aviary."

rolled 53 = 53

>>14187623

>Rolling Knowledge: Pteranodon

>One more question: is there a road leading on the east side from the outer maintenance road to the inner-road near the Helipad? If so, take that route, if not, then we have to high tail it all the way around.

Before we leave, I vote to put on the Chainmail armor as we drive there. We can take it off once we're inside dealing with the electricity.

>>14187719

No road linking the two, you'll have to take the long way.

The pteranodons are a bunch of flying dinosaurs, the ones the park has are fish-eaters.

>>14187821
>The pteranodons are a bunch of flying dinosaurs

FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!

Pteranodons were pterosaurs. NOT DINOSAURS. Idiot.

>>14187821
our vehical has a roof right? also before we leave check the charge of the car

>>14187821
inb4 they try to eat humans anyway because that's just out luck.

Let's go, take the long way around. Again i suggest calling the DRT network and ask about these dinos and see if there's any special precautions we can/should take.

"Dispatch, what's our contingency if we can't get the old hydro plant back up and running?

... I mean, we do have a workable contingency for that, right?"

>>14187858

Woops. Sorry. You are correct.

>>14187874

You don't have access to the DRT channel. Just to Dispatch and Maintenance.

>>14187950

"*static*...Don't worry about that, just get it fixed."

>>14188050
ok, let's go.

You, Emanuel and Juan climb into the Explorer and drive out. You get to the intersection near the boat dock when your car beeps.

"Caution: Low battery."

>>14187858

You need to calm the hell down son. What he said has no impact on the quest? Did you understand what he meant? Yes? Then it's fine.

In any case let's get going.....the faster we get there the faster we can find out why dispatch is being so nice to us now....probably because they sent us to die.

>>14187978
Oh, right. Thought we'd gotten access, but Muldoon said instead that we might be able tog et promoted to DRT instead since he couldn't give us access. I got that right?

>>14188199

Crap, where is the nearest recharge station?

>>14188246

Yeah, if you got promoted, you'd get access. But that was a big "if".

>>14188261
Gotcha. Well, we've got a pay raise so far, assuming that wasn't just incentive to make us go to the aviary and die, so we're on the right track.

>>14188252

There's a motor pool at the boat dock.

>>14188301
Radio into Dispatch that we're going to be later to the old hydro plant than planned and make our way to the boat dock as quickly as possible.

>>14188301

Ok we need to head there and hope nothing has torn it up.....or we be walking

>>14188329

"*static* Are you crazy?! Go find another recharging station!!"

>>14188413

"Dispatch what do you mean? What's wrong?"

>>14188624

"*static* Wait, you don't know?...Just find another station. Don't go to the dock."

>>14188700
Well. Let's look for another power station.

>>14188778

Nearest other power stations are at the Desalinization Plant and the Geothermal Plant.

>>14188802

Scratch that, Desalinization Plant doesn't have a motor pool, so the nearest is the Geothermal Plant.

>>14188808
Double back to the Geothermal plant and swap out the battery. The longer we take, the worse things will get.

>>14188905

You make it to the stretch of road adjacent to the Helipad when your battery dies and the cars stops.

>>14188905
This. Gotta hurry up.

>>14188994
Is there are recharging station or some batteries we can use at the helipad?

Because otherwise the fastest thing to do is ask Dispatch to have one of the firefighting teams drive to us with a spare battery.

We should have been keeping a closer eye on the battery.

>>14189076
You know, if we SOMEHOW survive all this, and we don't get this place shut down.... Gotta tell management to put a signal for batery low another hour's drive earlier.

>>14189076

There is a small motor pool at the Helipad, so they would have a recharging station.

>>14189111
Alright. Let's do it. We'll probably need more than one person to transport the battery. Also, we don't want to take any chances with raptors possibly around.

"Emanuel, Juan, there's a motor pool at the Helipad. We're going to go there and either get a new car, or get a charged battery. Either of you good with a gun?"

I think we should put on the chainmail, and carry the shotgun. Maybe there won't be anything; maybe we'll run into a dilo or a raptor. Better to go in prepared.

>>14189166

They both shake their head "no".

You put on the chain mail and pull the shotgun out of the car. Both Emanuel's and Juan's eyes widen when they see it.

"¡Mierda!"

Good with a gun or not, they should have their own Tranqs (as evidenced from when they shot at us). Wear the Armor, have the Magnum in hand and ready while strapping the Shotgun to our back for easy access.

>>14189384

Tell them that Muldoon gave his blessing for the guns.

>>14189384
remind them not to run or scream if they see any raptors as it will probably just attract them.

You lead the crew into the jungle. It's a pretty steep climb uphill. Make an Athletics [Basic] check.

And would you prefer I take the first roll or the highest roll?

rolled 57 = 57

>>14189595

First roll is the best roll.

rolled 73 = 73

>>14189595
Personally, I dislike change so I would prefer to keep on going the way we have been. haters gonna hate.

>>14189719

The real options were first roll while LINKING to the post or do like an average of the first 3 or so. If we average ours, its a 65 which is pretty decent.

>Also post a few, forgot to name tag. I feel name tags for story progression are nice so we dont have trolls messing with everything.

Hmmm, slow tonight.

You manage the somewhat strenuous climb without a problem, though Emanuel and Juan get a couple of scrapes and bruises. You see the helipad within the fencing. Through the bars you see the exit out of the helipad. It was a small building in front of it.

>>14189972
Huh. I.... wait, what are we doing here? Trying to get a battery? Is there any batteries in plain sight? If not, check the small building.. Be cautious.

>>14190250

You check around and see nothing. You look in the building. It's the motor pool. The garage is empty, but there are a couple of batteries on chargers.

>>14189972
Take a moment to carefully glance over the scene, looking for any sign of dinos or evidence that they were here recently.

If we don't see anything, head on over. Make sure everyone's got their weapons ready, on principle- tranqs or not, can't be too careful in a situation like this.

>>14190350
Second. Tell Emanuel that we'll cover him while he and Juan get a charged battery.

You keep lookout while the other two grab a battery, the place seems pretty quiet. Make an Athletics check to go back down the incline.

rolled 1 = 1

>>14190533

Rolling Athletics

rolled 88 = 88

>>14190533
There you go.

rolled 3 = 3

>>14190569

Crap, did 1d10 not 100. =\

>>14190581

WOW. I guess my rolls from quests 5-8 are catching up to me now.

>>14190581
You... do know that we can look right at your post and see that it was in fact a d100, right?

>>14190624

I wasn't aware you could do that. How?

>>14190581
Uh... that was 1d100 dude. Kindly do not lie. Or at least look more carefully next time.

>>14190660
Simply mouse over the name of his post, which should be dark when he rolls. In the lower left of right corner of your screen shoudl appear the contents of the name, either an email address or the dice roll.

Dont roll the jeep!

>>14190680

Convenient.

So, the voting tied last time I asked about dice. Should I take first or highest?

>>14190760
Whatever, as long as you're consistent. First is good, best of first two is more generous, first-except-once-a-session-botch is known. All depends how harsh you want to let the dice be, really.

>>14190760
Again, I vote stay the way we have been.

I'll stick with highest then, it's what I've been doing. Yeah, it' makes the quest easy, but whatever.

The climb down is easy and you all make it back to the Explorer without incident. A herd of compys is sniffing around the Explorer.

>>14190865
Herd them away. Don't act injured. Once the car starts they'll scatter, hopefully.

>>14190865
Dammit, they better not be chewing the wires in the car... shoo them off, acting strong and powerful, and have the others replace the battery while we stand guard and keep watch for anything bigger and nastier.

They immediately take off when you approach the car.

Make a Mechanics check to replace the battery.

(1 hour, then I'm heading to bed.)

rolled 11 = 11

>>14191099
Mkay.

rolled 63 = 63

>>14191099
Well we better make this hour count.

rolled 22 = 22

Hell yeah! Welcome back, ECW.

You fumble a little bit, but you get the battery replaced. The headlights flash on.

(So am I the only one who has the funky website look? There aren't any blue boxes surrounding the posts, it's getting annoying. I want to fix it, but I don't know how.)

rolled 17 = 17

>>14191274
(Try changing the page style a couple times?)
Let's just get on the road.

>>14191274
That is odd. I wish I could help, but I have no idea. maybe restart your computer?

>>14191274
if you scroll to the bottom of the page this will be on the bottom right

>Style [Yotsuba | Yotsuba B | Futaba | Burichan]

clicking one of these changes the style in which you see 4chan or /tg/. this may or may not help but its the only thing I can think of which would cause your problem

>>14191332
Oops, forgot to turn off the roll.

>>14191345

Thanks, that fixed it. You have no idea how much that was annoying me.

>>14191359
Since we're on a truncated schedule tonight maybe it would be wise to wait 10 minutes instead of 15? Just thinking.

So the car is working. What are you guys doing?

>>14191391
Let's get to the aviary and do our job... though I'm tempted to find out what happened at the dock, it can wait. If we run into another team soon we can ask them.

>>14191274
Have you tried clicking on the different Styles listed at the bottom of the page, below the Report button?

Anyway, let's get going to the old Hydroelectric plant. We're wasting time.

>>14191391
Our job. Get moving, and radio in what's going on. Also report that the helipad was all but deserted, with no vehicles, and there's only one battery left there.

You all get in the car and drive off. Getting to the aviary takes a bit of time. But you eventually reach the gate that allows entrance. The power is out, so you'll have to manually open it.

>>14191459
Alright, proceed cautiously... Just because they don't want to eat us doesn't mean they aren't territorial.

>>14191459
Take a careful look around, everyone out of the car with guns, move over to the gate, open it, then back to the car, drive through, stop car and guns, close the gate again, then drive on.

Caution and thoroughness are the order of the day here.

>>14191442

"*static* Not surprising, given the circumstances. Thanks for the information."

>>14191498
"...What circumstances, dispatch?"

>>14191498
Report that the Aviary's electric fence is offline.
Open it manually, carefully, as Emanuel and Juan stay safe in the car.

Keeping an eye out, you get out and open the gate. Emanuel drives the car through and you close it up again. You notice that the tree cover here is a lot more pruned, a lot more of the sky is visible. You can see two flying objects in the distance.

>>14191536

"*static* Go on the Maintenance channel and find out. Anyway, of course the fences are out, we've lost a primary power source and our emergency generator is out of fuel. That's why we need that hydro plant up."

>>14191582
"Right. Will call if needed."
Change the frequency to maintenance and get a read on the situation.

>>14191599

The Maintenance channel is nothing but a repeating broadcasted message. It seems that almost all the Maintenance workers have taken over the docks and are demanding transport off the island, due to it being unsafe.

>>14191599
Second.
Also continue onwards to the hydroelectric plant.

This seems like a good place to cut it for the night. Goodnight everybody, happy to be back.

>>14191623
>Maintenance revolt
Well fuck.
What the fuck did Dispatch expect though? Sending Maintenance personnel into dangerous situations without proper protection or warning, punishing personnel for trying to defend themselves from man-eating dinos, and acting like an all-round asshole, it was bound to happen.

Look over to Emanuel:
"See? Dispatch can't control jack shit. We need to get this plant up and running before the raptors and the T-Rex break loose. No more being limited by rules, alright? We're the only ones that can keep this situation from getting worse."

>>14191623
Oh. Okay, here I was worried it was something horrible.
Frankly this is potentially a good thing. The island is in some pretty deep shit, if we can have a boat waiting for us once the worst of it is contained that's probably all to the good.
Still, I'm not sure whether we should let the other two know that we are possibly the only three not on strike. It feels like the right thing is to be honest, but we can't afford to have them abandon us.

i cast majik msisel

Oh yeah, would someone mind archiving?

>>14191623
Shit, we should ask for more than just a raise, if we're the only ones still stupid enough to be running around trying to fix shit while everyone else is quitting. We deserve some serious appreciation. Maybe even actual respect.

>>14191758
I'm on it if nobody beats me to it.
>>14191767
Maybe. Wait for either the situation to improve (so we get more credit) or get even more dire (so our help is more vital) though.

Okay, it's been archived. Don't forget to vote!

>>14191623
Ah, so THAT'S why we're getting a raise. We're the only ones left doing stuff for them.
