Ok well everything seems good so far then, I would like to give it a bit longer to see if anyone else joins but if they dont then I will still be able to run it with 3 people so thats all good.

Ok well let the game begin, and remember to disable sig when posting.
-------------------------

Location: Near La Realidad, Mexico.

The three of you have been hired to participate in the exploration of a temple found in the wilderness of Mexico. You all arrive on the last truck to the site and oce there you are met by man of average build and appearance, "Hi, I am Dr Randall Newman and I am leading the expedition. Allow me to introduce you to the rest of the crew."

He introduces you to a woman in her early forties, her dark hair is streaked with grey and she always seems to have a grin on her face. "This is our archeological expert Dr. Perez. We are lucky to hav..." He is quickly interrupted by Dr. Perez, "Don't listen to him, I am lucky to have the chance to see the temple, and please call me Carolyn."

"This is Dr. Gonzales, he is an expert anthropologist." He appears to be in his early 30s and is lunging around in a t-shirt and jeans, he gives you a friendly wave.

"These are two graduate students that decided to come with us, William Cordo and Maria Lucendia." William is a large man with close cropped dark hair, he is also missing an arm. Maria is an attractive blonde who gives you a quick wave before returning to sorting out her tent.

"We also have a photographer and writer from National Geographic but they are in the tent organising the gear for the expedition. We have seven labourers who will be staying at a camp to the south."

He then introduces you to each other and the crew, "Mr Schneider and Dr. Alstein are here to give their opinion on anything we find and Celestial is going to be running our communications and technology. Ok are their any questions?"
----------------------
OOC: Ok here is your oppertunity to find out anything you want to know about the camp, equipment, weapons etc. You can also feel free to chat to the other people at camp before the expedition begins.
OOC2: dplax, very witty name. I just realised where it came from [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

OOC: Took you long enough to realise the name. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

IC:
<font color=yellow>Dr. Einbert Alstein

The short, balding scientist examined his companions. He had read earlier in a scientific review about Edward Schneider's work but was not too much interested by it. Einbert was more like a theoretical physician than a practical one. Celestial looked a young wizzkid in his early twenties. Einbert walked over to Schneider.

"I've read earlier about your work in rocket technologies. I am intrigued as to why they invited a rocket scientist to the exploration of a temple. Would you mind explaining this to me?"</font>

Is it too late to join?

MSG Edward Kistler (retired)
Military Specialist
Age 38
Str 16
Con 18
Size Large
Int 12
Dex 14
App 8
Sanity 80
Education: Ola's High School (drop out) in Idaho, a tiny town that's barely on the map)

A former US Army soldier, MSG Kistler is almost unique in that he snuck through his army career almost completely illiterate. He can write his name, and recognize symbols, but can't read lengthy documents, or words more than a few syllables. He retired after 20 years and has been kicking around looking for something to do. He is very familiar with heavy weapons, and very fit, however his face is mangled by some shrapnel he took during a training accident.

He is gruff, and used to being the top dawg on the pile, and doesn't take easily to people ordering him around, unless they're clearly a superior rank.

<font color=lawngreen>Celestial

"That is not the top of it." Celestial stood next to Einbert, and pointed a ways off away from the tents, at a couple of men standing together "That right there is a marine. Armed. There is definetly something we are not told, as I have never seen an armed expedition in the Middle-of-nowhere, Mexico." He took out a wide pen from his pocket, and removed the tip, revealing an USB connector. He looked at a nearby laptop and said "What do you say we find out a bit more information about this?"
</font>
OOC: The thing I got out is a USB drive with 2 GB storage, and it's half-full with various software tools. The only thing I have of my inventory, is it OK?

<font color=white>

Schneider

Schneider extends his hand to shake Einbert's.

"Ah, I see that I am not the only scientist working with weapons. People say you have had some experience with guns and lasers, hm? To be quite honest, I do not know why I in particular have been chosen for this. Do you think it may have something to do with our experience with weapons?"

The scientist whips out a couple of devices from his large pockets. As they emit what seem to be random beeping noises, he stares at them intently.

"Well, I just see this as a great opportunity to find out about this area. These little charms can gather information about our immediate environment."

Shneider is disturbed by Celestial's comment and slowly leans out to see the Marine. He nods to Celestial and eagerly examines the USB drive.

<font color=yellow>Dr. Alstein

"Guns and lasers, yes you might call them that. They are much more complicated than simple guns and lasers though."

Einbert then took out his laptop from his bag and after switching it on started jotting down notes about the people he met and the general area. He only payed moderate attention to Celestial and Schneider who was now watching him. He did not even notice the marine.</font>

Dr. Newman steps forward again, "Ah I see you decided to come after all Mr Kistler."
He introduces Edward to the investigators as well as the crew, "Mr Kistler is here to supply security, there have been instances of robberies on expeditions such as this one and we do not want to lose anything of value."

"But allow me to explain why you are all here, it is obvious that Celestrial is here because of his technical skills, Dr. Alsein has been invited because in 1973 a temple similiar to this one was discovered. Inside was found an unidentifyable object which was suspected to be a weapon, unfortunatly it was lost in a robbery before it could be return to civilization. With Dr. Alstein's experiencee with weapons we are hoping that if any such weapons are discovered again we can recognise them. Dr Schneider is here just in case we find any other forms of lost technology."

Celestial: As you pull your laptop from your pack you are annoyed to find that it has been cracked during the trip here. Perhaps you should check with the crew for other technology?

dplax: Unfortunatly it seems that you cannot gain access to any networks, while you can still use your laptop for note-taking it will be useless for research.

Morgeruat: As per the request of the crew you only have your pistol, they did not want you to bring anything heavier because it may risk damage to the temple.

Jaradu: The devices beep and you get a quick readout - The surrounding area has medium vegetation. For some reason you cannot get a clear read-out concerning the area around the temple.

OOC: This will be run in proper DnD style, do not take control of any of the NPCs and do not claim that the camp has anything before checking with the crew. And have fun :D
