Dies the Fire

Shield of Faith, Cure Wounds, Restoration, Detect Magic, Aid, Warding Bond would be my vote  - keep her as a true buff shield for the rest of the party 

Okay. Next day you trek out to the DARPA compound. This is a far chunk of ground with different projects spread out in different buildings.

"Should we try to scout around the complex first?  Maybe get an idea of the layout and how to best approach it?  And see if there are signs of habitation?"

Perception 4

Stealth 10

Uthvern will also keep an eye out

Perception:  17

And he'll keep his shield and sword at the ready for any possible attack. 

George will range 50' ahead of the main party, trusting to his cloak to help keep him out of sight.  

Perception: 4

Stealth: 22

 Not so much ‘signs of habitation’ but there is a sign. “All visitors must sign in at Administration”

There is a “You are here” map with different buildings shown. Administration, Project Francis, Project Arnold, Project Hawkins, Project Wideawake, Project Aegis

DM Note: One Free Advantage to any roll for anyone who can tell me what all the Project names refer to.

Sarah suggests they start at Administration.  That building might have records that will better explain what each Project is and what is messing with the town.

OOC:  I can guess a few but not so sure on a few others.

Project Francis - robotic insects  Project Arnold - exoskeletons  Project Hawkins - brain - computer interface  Project Wideawake - AI Cybernetic surveillance systems  Project Aegis - Smart body armor

Aleister will ready his dart-thrower; prep two firebombs and get a new d20.  Ofn and Terfysgeath will be about 500 m ahead and to the left and right of the party at about 250 m altitude, looking for troubling things.

Perception  21

OCC  S@1oaB&6!!

OOC:  Okay, had no idea what Francis was.  Out of curiosity, what's the reference?  Hawkins I figured out which was nice but I thought Wideawake was combat drugs.  I did get Arnold and Aegis :)

 Francis of Assisi. Hawkins comes from Stranger Things. Project Wideawake is an X-Men reference. Arnold is Arnold Schwarzenegger IE Terminator

Thomas spends a bit of time refreshing the dark vision spells, as well as Altering Self to add a couple of wolverine-style claws, just in case there's close combat.

OOC - Francis - cleric magic, Arnold - Ali combat robots, Hawkins - high pressure studies, Wideawake - full spectrum info gathering and AI analysis

You should just be thankful that a lot of these projects are DEAD because electronics doesn't work anymore

 No, yes, no, no (actually sort of)

Well...add 'em all up and we should win a trip to Disneyland, yes?

George looks at the 'you are here map' and then at the rest of the group.  'Project Aegis seems the most promising for our body armor don't you think?'

"Yep." Replies Thomas "I betcha the Arnold project is the 'beast' that they keep talking about. Something that would have been a robot before the Change, but now something incorporating magic."

You head of to the Project Aegis building. It has a loading section at the back with a door into the main section (locked)
