Game Notes - 26-02-25
The team arrives at the The Howell Center for Cognitive Health to find a last minute black tie charity gala. Many notable guests were seen in attendance. The Fairy was sent in on recon under the cover of invisibility, and returned with intel on laser systems running through the air ducts.

While The Fairy was away, the Winnebago was approached by a security guard. Tree dragged him inside, The Fairy pinned him down, and Jolt beat him with a mace. He survived the beating and Tree finished him with a knife to the throat.

Codex stripped the body of the uniform, ID badge, keycard, and commlink. Using the dead guard's credentials, he bluffed his way through a security checkpoint at the fence. The last thing he heard as he passed through: "Hey Chris, is that you?"

Codex continues walking towards the main building. Meanwhile, Goat Boy gracefully excuses himself from the group that he is with and starts tailing Codex. While trying to catch up, he spills a drink on someone. Codex, while trying to remain inconspicuous, yells "Go Navy!" at some other guards. He gets some strange looks, but continues on his way. He notices Goat Boy approaching, and recognizes him. He slows to allow him to catch up. After advising him on the situation, he agrees to help rescue Cap' if we build him a suicide vest later.

While attempting to plant some C4 near the lobby, Goat Boy spooks Codex, who throws the C4 into a potted plant and runs away. It is armed and set to setting 1, which detonates if it is moved. Goat Boy decides to attempt to disarm it. He rolls a critical glitch...

We learn that The Fairy was delta forces. He calls in some reinforcements, but as he does, an explosion is heard.

Codex is thrown back 15' from the force of the blast. Goat Boy's legs are snapped at the knee and bent backwards. He is unconscious and urinated himself onto Codex, who he is laying on top of. Codex is suffering from severe tinnitus, and is effectively temporarily deaf.

Loose Cannon decides to rush into the building while people are distracted. Mishka, Calico, and The Fairy stay with the Winnebago, while Loose Cannon, Balex,Jolt, and Tree do a group infiltration roll. Balex gets pushed back out due to the crowds pushing their way out of the facility. (The way this was achieved was to make the players vote on who gets left behind on scraps of paper. It was a near-unanimous vote for Balex, with only Séamus voting for himself.)

Goat Boy is currently muttering incoherent ramblings with the occasional "It's all part of the plan"

At the end of the night, a vote was held by the three infiltrators to see if they would push forward with rescuing Cap' or evacuate with the wounded Goat Boy. The vote was taken blind.

Additional Note: A yacht is docked behind the facility. It didn't really come up, but a good piece of info to have.
