Welcome to Gaia! ::

BRILLIANT!

I knew you were good for something

They were right in the way Talon *shrug* I figured you were in the high atmosphere myself. But the civilians were running from their homes (Because a few homes got shelled) towards the "Fall out shelter" of town, Robert Dessix's Place. Which is on the southern edge of town. Right between the forest and the plant. sweatdrop Last time the civilians were mentioned they were right where you parked your missiles.

Eh, either way, whatever you two decide is fine by me. 3nodding

It happens to us all Talon.

And, by the way, that also seems to be the place where Miss Ai Leen's response force is too. At least the Tanks if not the airpower. Not sure what she's going to do about it. sweatdrop Figure though that your crew probably didn't drop a missile right on a friendly. wink

"Friendly fire isn't".

Yeah, probably. wink

Not sure if you should send a priest/medic to raise the dead down there. Just because it brings up the IC question of "If you can bring people back from the dead, how can I possibly kill anyone? Why does anyone die at all?"

Hell, that's why in D&D they gave Raise Dead the 5000 GP worth of diamonds Material component that gets used up. wink

Plus it puts a "Consequence Free" rule in play. You know "Doesn't matter how badly I screw things up, random NPC can come in and hand wave everything back to normal".

*shrug* I never really did care for the "A healer walks by..." NPC acts people use. Steals away Consequence and Failure as GM tools. sweatdrop

It's been my issue with most Gaia Roleplays for years now. Several groups come forward, ask me to whip up villians and plots for them (I swear this all happened after the "Opaj's Rival" storyarc I had). Gaia is unique in every RP setting, system, and place I've been in that it is routinely a consequence free zone.

I kill you? Well some random high power cleric walks by and revives you. Or you go and break out of hell.

I destroy/steal one of your Toys? Oh, my legendary swordsman grandfather actually made 4 legendary swords, not just one, so it doesn't matter. I still have three. Hell, I never even liked that one.

I massacre everyone you ever cared about? Mass Raise Dead.

I destroy your home? It gets rebuilt overnight by magical shoe dwarf types.

Not that I don't like Gaia RPs... but it's hard to be an antagonist when there's nothing I can antagonize because there's no way I can hurt anyone for more than just a moment's nuisance. sweatdrop

But I've gotten into the swing of things on Gaia. 3nodding Plots become more about frontal confrontation than righting wrongs, exacting revenge, etc. More of a "Doing good because he's obviously bad" stories more than classical stories of revenge, blood oaths, rivalries, etc.

I'm full of good points. wink

Though I figure if you do raise the townspeople it should hurt the GNG somehow. Probably need to close another outpost to juggle the budget to pay for the ressurection of so many people. So many people that probably don't have enough bodies to patch back together.

And maybe they'd have to? Because I'm fairly certain the survivors would be Pissed, demanding that they do so. And from what I gather from the RP in here before the Government and the GNG are somehwat at odds, so they'd love to be able to leverage such an incident against them.

As would the "Downtowners" I imagine. sweatdrop

Could touch off another series of riots.

Indeed. But since Downtowners and the Senate seems to be Miss Ai Leen's thing we probably want to ask her about it before we start sending everything to hell. wink

Plus you know, figure out who would lose a base to help pay for the costs. Logic tells me "GN's screwup, GN pays" but Beaucracy and Budgets seldom have anything to do with Logic.
