This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The helicopter flies through the cold air of Antarctica.  Inside the green vessel are two pilots and five other people with enough gear to survive the harsh climate at the bottom of the world.  There mission is a simple one.  Find the missing scientists, or at least find out what happen to them.  The team only has a two week time span to full fill that mission before the helicopter returns to collect its team again.

The companies that had funded the scientists are nothing odd.  They are alternative energy companies that want more evidence on the effects of green light gases have on the planet.  Mostly to raise awareness, but it also means they can sell their natural energy to more customers.

The scientists themselves are well respected researchers in their fields and don't even have enemies.  A few rivals, maybe, but no one that has any reason to do them harm.  This is not the act of foul play, but it isn't as simple as getting lost either.  These scientists had visited Antarctica before and some are season veterans of the frozen continent.  The former ranger of the team might be able to learn a thing, or two from the team if he ever finds them.

Well I did it right now, because I wanted some changes. I think I might change my conman to only 3 talents. And I think my scientist needs works. I mean forensics, toxicology balistics. More of the same.

You know you can't improve altering to a higher level.  You can do other things, but can't stack alterings in the same talent.  Maybe you can suggest changes in a private message.

You kinda suggested me doing that a few times. I could cut my time in half with forensics. If I would spend another point in this talent I could cut my time to a quarter. Or maybe I should cut time and give it an advantage?

Spoiler
I changed it. Pretty pleased with it and it wasn't a lot of work. Only the scientist.
NVM, I did it. I am happy with this now. PM me if you want anything changed.

I assume the chopper has landed. What do we see? Can I enter a building or do I only see snow and ice?

Ok, this is tricky. I use my characters all in five turns.

1. Conman: Starts asking questions to the other team members. Who they are and what they do? (I don't know if they are all familiar.)
2. Scout: Looks out the window to look at the terrain. Is it still water? Or ice?
3. Investigator: Looks at the pilots. Can he talk to them? Or better not disturb?
4. Scientist: Looks at the interior of the helicopter. Is it military gear?
5. Explorer: Reads a book about Antarctic geology.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!
