"I feel like we are not prepared for a grab just yet, lets just to some more reckon for the moment and see if we can figure out anything more.
You go to the building entrance to see if he comes out that way, If he does follow and ill catch up, Ill head too the roof and see if i can jump down onto his balcony to see if i can get more of an idea to what is going on. If he is by himself and something goes wrong i might try and flush him down to you where you can make the grab if things go sideways. Can you see if there are any vehicles near by that we can use if we have to make an impromptu grab? "
Abraham nods and heads toward the door, "I'll man the door, but someone else may need to find the car."
(Did anyone get a taser? If not, would I be able to retroactively get one since we were talking about it?)

(Taser has not been collected as we need to use our reputation to get it and it will take time, so we are picking up our equipment tonight when we meet up, hence i suggested this is only supposed to be a recon mission not the actual grab. As on one was replying to my suggestions on what to do next i just left on the recon mission)
(All good from my end Stormknight, you do an absolute killer job across the whole website and i think we all appreciate the job you and the other mods do. Im not sure if launch will give you more or less to do (But at least it might mean you can finally be able to stop telling people exactly what content is available in the Beta!!!) but we will be here when you get some time to join back in. In the mean time @Barlow and I can continue to move forward on the campaign to ensure we don't fall behind the other groups)
(Cool and thank you - please assume that Erick goes with the idea of being back at base to coordinate - we can use the burner phones. I'll add in some short posts to keep things moving)
(My personal recommendation would be to say that you get the taser and everything else purchased via Reputation on Sunday, I can have you make a roll or three in lifting a car unless you want to RP that, and then we fast-forward to Monday. If there's any details you want to know from your recon mission on Sunday, please ask and I'll let you know what they are or tell you that you can make them up yourself)
(Sorry for the long reply, yep that sounds like a good plan, i probably got too in-depth with unimportant details.
From the recon, I'd like to know whats happening in the flat; a bit more about who he is and why these guys would want him; a good place we might be able to grab him tomorrow; and whether he might usually be carrying anything that could hinder our snatch of him
As for the vehicle im happy for just some rolls but Abraham was going to do that so happy if he would rather RP or roll
(Good to roll here and RP after results. Thinking a gun to the head may warrant at least advantage to intimidation, though.)

Sorry for the radio silence, but after some long and hard thinking, this game just isn't really working out the way that I was hoping it would. I wanted to have 3 separate but simultaneous campaigns that were able to interact with and affect each other, and due to the slow nature of PbP, it unfortunately doesn't seem possible. The investment on my part needed to run 4 campaigns at the same time ended up being more than I could manage as well (in addition to these 3 threads, I run a weekly game on roll20), and I've been largely responsible for the game grinding to a standstill. I may try again in the future once I have a better grasp on what is needed (and probably cut the scope down to 2 threads), but for now I'm going to apologize and shelve this game.
Once I collect my thoughts and figure out where I want to go from here, I may open up recruitment for a more typical fantasy 5e game (probably won't be for another month or so). All of you are more than welcome to apply to that, and it will be using the campaign management tools on D&D Beyond (instead of the nightmare of managing character sheets in 5 different places for these threads).
So once again, I duly apologize and wish I could be the bearer of better news. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know either here or in PM. I'm especially interested in any feedback you may have, both positive and negative. Things you liked or didn't like about the campaign, how I posted updates, etc. This feedback will be helpful for when I try again, so that I can provide a more fun-filled environment for everyone.
Not a problem at all! It was definitely a very interesting concept and I'm happy to have been a part of it :)
