Ok... I don't quite understand. Isn't there a contradiction here?Quote from: Kuroimaken on May 03, 2010, 02:46:37 PMthere's been practically no change in traffic (insofar as the traffic hasn't changed; that is, the people living here appear to be working normally) in the past week, let alone the past four days. Quote from: Kuroimaken on May 04, 2010, 12:41:08 AM"None of the workers are accounted for here at present. The only one that seems to be noted is... at the administrator's office."So... the logs don't show any workers? The only person on there is this one person who got in and didn't leave? Right? What does the first bolded part mean, then?Do the logs show when the other people (aside from the person in the office) last were here? And did they all leave at once, or one at a time? How did they leave? Etc... And while we're in the computer... how about we see if we can figure out what the defensive abilities of this building (and plane?) are? And see if we can use them for ourselves, or at least disable them...

Just because it isn't a free action doesn't mean it is impossible to dismiss it. I think it is likely a standard action, just like dismissing a spell.

What was meant is that according to the logs, nothing strange is going on. Everyone is as should be.However, at the present moment, none of the workers are in the building - only this one guy who never made it out.
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks
Let's see if I've got it... The computer system thinks that the workers are still coming and going as normal (no change in traffic over the past week or so), but is only showing that one person is actually in the building?I think the question is that if the computer thinks the workers are still working, where does the computer think they are?
The Romans used chickens for oracles, both when flying ("ex avibus", Augury) and when feeding ("auspicium ex tripudiis", Alectryomancy). The hen ("gallina") gave a favourable omen ("auspicium ratum"), when appearing from the left (Cic.,de Div. ii.26), like the crow and the owl.For the oracle "ex tripudiis" according to Cicero (Cic. de Div. ii.34), any bird could be used, but normally only chickens ("pulli") were consulted. The chickens were cared for by the pullarius, who opened their cage and fed them pulses or a special kind of soft cake when an augury was needed. If the chickens stayed in their cage, made noises ("occinerent"), beat their wings or flew away, the omen was bad; if they ate greedily, the omen was good.In 249 BC, the Roman general Publius Claudius Pulcher had his chickens thrown overboard when they refused to feed before the battle of Drepana, saying "If they won't eat, perhaps they will drink." He promptly lost the battle against the Carthaginians and 93 Roman ships were sunk. Back in Rome, he was tried for impiety and heavily fined.
I'm seriously considering making it so EVERY bird is immune to possession in this campaign.

I'll be out of town for the weekend and Monday and likely won't be online much if at all. Kuro can NPC Kyx if he wants.
