Mark Rand Posted October 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 There is nobody on the rope. Batgirl responds by radio, "I'm passing the Bioscience complex. Should be there in less than five minutes." Batman responds, "You're closer than I am, Batgirl. I should be there in fifteen minutes. Paladin, if you like, you can break off your stakeout."

I'm one block away," Paladin, you are closing in on Gotham University and have Trinity Cathedral in sight. You should get there just after Batgirl, who has to scale the building while you can land on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjack Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 (AS PLAYER) Sorry, nope. Invisible to IR & UV, but there is a fringe effect when he’s moving. That’s why I made sure she saw me before I cloaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rand Posted October 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Batgirl, Stealth 13- & Security Systems 13-, and keeping to the shadows as much as possible, inspects the alarm wiring. Speaking softly, she says, "Alarm wiring's been bridged." 48 minutes ago, Tjack said: Still cloaked I edge slowly over to the skylight crouch down and look over the edge keeping as much cover as possible.(just in case) Stealth is 13- There's nothing in sight.

Tjack Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Is the room well lit or dark, is it empty or filled with crates and shelving units for someone to hide behind, roughly how big is the room, both long and across as well as floor to ceiling.

The room is 150-feet wide by about 700-feet wide and 12-feet high. It is a display floor with exit lights and a low-level of lighting. (OCC: I had to measure it on a map of the University of Pittsburgh, which is standing in for Gotham University.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Relay this information to the rest of the team. Do I have any type of video device or an I-Phone to transmit the inside of the room to my teammates. If the room is only 12 feet high anyone else sticking their head in to look could be spotted. Do I have any of the surveillance cameras left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mini-Bat Computer, which is the size of a smart phone, has a built-in video camera and Batgirl, being a Gotham University grad student, is familiar with the building.

Tjack Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 (OOC: What kind of cover if any does the roof have to keep us hidden from bad guys coming up?) Why don’t I go down there cloaked and make sure firstly that no guards or anyone gets killed by these guys and barring that, I can get us a head count of opponents. Next I can scout around to see if there are any paranormals on their side then follow them up the rope to make certain none of them gets away or that they leave thru another exit. What do you think? Between flying and being invisible I think I can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjack Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 “OK, bigmouth.” “Time to put up or shut up.” I muttered as I cloaked up again. As I edged over to the skylight I realized I was acting like I could be seen by anybody, but decided that was probably a good way to go. Dad always said “When you’re in enemy territory always assume the enemy is looking right at you.” I slipped over the edge and floated to the ground. I moved slow and careful looking out for tripwires or motion sensors that might have been left to warn the robbers about any patrolling guards, and I cycled my vision up and down the scale for photo electric beams. Even with all this I still made decent time getting across the room. Since I didn’t really have any idea which direction they went after coming down the rope I just flipped a coin in my head and picked a direction towards what might be a soft sound.
