The Floating City [OOC] [TWO]

[thirtythr33]

That's fine; refusing to use lethal attacks in a (potentially) lethal encounter counts as enough risk to fire.

How does Marco feel about his employees killing on his behalf?

[Benedict]

The moment Ferran hears the cry readies his quillions dagger and cinquedea and covers (Lays Ambush) the door.

[thirtythr33]

Ferran is at the second floor entrance? And this door is locked right?

[Korbel]

How does Marco feel about his employees killing on his behalf?

Well, Marco has just warned them. But if they press the assault, what can he do to prevent bloodshed? Not much.

[thirtythr33]

I mean, has Marco told Cirillo or Karl that he doesn't want unnecessary killing?

[Benedict]

Ferran is at the second floor at the base of the stairs. The door is locked.

The "Make a name" SA is firing, correct?

[Korbel]

I mean, has Marco told Cirillo or Karl that he doesn't want unnecessary killing?

Hmm, I was pretty sure I stated that. Marco's objective here is to prevent unnecessary bloodshed.

[thirtythr33]

The "Make a name" SA is firing, correct?

Yes.

Marco's objective here is to prevent unnecessary bloodshed.

Just because it is his objective doesn't necessarily mean he ordered the others to likewise.

[Korbel]

Just because it is his objective doesn't necessarily mean he ordered the others to likewise.

Right. I wrongly assumed this is obvious for everyone.
Yes, when they were spending the time in the warehouse, Marco has expressed his attitude, sure.

[Benedict]

Sorry, just went through previous posts. Can I cover the window instead of the door? Preps were so long ago I mistakenly thought the door was just locked.

For the main door on the second floor, we place a few heavy crates or boxes behind it. Unless they have a ram, it is going to be tough going through this way.

For the window that is easy to access, I propose to leave it as it is. If they break it, they can come in, but they will have to go one at a time and they are going to be easy picking for us. So we don't reinforce that window, but we nail a small plank to the window ledge on the inside. This plank will have some nails sticking out and we will paint the plank and the nails black. Also, we leave a plank about two feet by two feet with nails sticking out just below the window. Once again, we paint it black.

As for shooting arrows from the windows, I believe they could. Probably at increased Ob?

For the other windows on the third floor, we are going to use some planks to nail them shut.

[thirtythr33]

Thanks for finding the relevant sections.
Yes, Ferran can cover the window.

Arrows? I believe everyone has crossbows. Bows would have a penalty, but crossbows wouldn't.

[Benedict]

To sum it up.

The 2nd floor door is locked and heavily reinforced. The window is unblocked but trapped. The surface of the floor is strewn with caltrops hidden by hay. The stairs are trapped with trip wires top and bottom and greased. Everyone is fully armed and armored. The 3rd floor window overlooking the canal is open and ready to use as a fast exit. A small boat is ready to be used as a getaway. Anything I forget please add.

[Korbel]

We went another way, but I'd like to know anyway (may be useful later): is it possible to surprise the crossbow team the way I described earlier (small dock - swim in the canal - climb up - attack)?

[thirtythr33]

Anything is possible if you roll well enough.

[thirtythr33]

Cirillo tries to find a best position so he has a clear line of fire to front door.

Since this is the last thing describing Cirillo's actions I'm just going to assume he is using Lay Ambush over the front door from the bottom of the stairs next to Ferran (And doesn't need to roll Sequence).
