Nah, we'll say you can crack it.
You find useful information, but it's mainly second-hand. You can disrupt Falcone's operations with it, but not all of them, not enough to topple everything. And not enough here to nail him for good; the worst-case scenario for him would be a year or two in minimum-security prison, if not "house arrest". And you know Gotham's system isn't clean enough for that, not yet. Not even with Dent's help.

So, you can make copies to build a Case File, or take copies to try and hurt his operation, or pin him down, but not really all 3.

It's pretty clear he stores the master ledgers somewhere else, probably known only to him and a few others.

Copies for a casefile then. If i need to change tactics to be more active then i'll still have them on hand, but for now i'd prefer he remain unaware of the hole in his defenses.

Smart thinking. Good long-term view.

Going to be up front, y'all ain't bustin' any gangs in the first "chapter" of the game. This stuff takes time. But I'll give you chances and choices along the way. Sometimes the immediate action might be the best; I'll do what I can (along with my Co-GMs) to keep things shaken up.
 
So, right now, what can we, the GMs, be doing to help the Players? I know there's a lot of inter-character stuff going on. Ideally we'd get to a point it's reasonable to expect the very-rough-around-the-edges "team" to band together for the first "mission".

Also, hoping to get Tech stuff a bit better ironed out this weekend. Would help if folks could lay out 1-3 specific items or item-groups they want to have be equipment/tech that they use in-play.
 
Taser tech. I'd like to copy the other - probably better known - Cavalier (Mortimer Drake) and load my rapier with a device that allows it to emit 'electric blasts'. Less 'electrocution' and more 'stun' though.
 
I have no idea! My entire technology shtick is building everything imaginable into my Umbrellas! Weapons, tools, jammers, bulletproof fabrics, etc.
 
As stated before, I eventually, long term, wanna move into the Nomura armor, and I've already got some hearing enhancers and night-vision goggles going on ...

...but besides that, I'd like lockpicks built into my claws, and maybe a stun (taser) option on my whip. You know, if I'm a good kitty.
 
Apologies for taking a while to respond. Been having a very stressful 2 weeks. Things have calmed down a bunch, so I'm around more now.

Hey man right back at ya. I myself am in exams week so only till now have been able to sit down.

So if I wanted to pursue him and tackle him should I like roll?
 
Right uh lets see a d20 then...

edit: uh oh.

D-did I stumble and stuff? maybe one of the thugs decided to grab me and send me into a pratfall?

Hm. Ultimately up to @torrmercury , but broadly speaking in this scenario I'd go for something like "slightly mis-stepped, which threw off your aim/grab, and he luckily side-stepped at just the right time", which at worst leads to you going to your knees for a second. I'm personally not a fan of violently punishing natural 1's, so there's that.

Do exactly what you wanted to do but end just before execution. Basically you run after him and then jump to tackle, and then cut. I'll follow up with what happens for the 1.

I am a generous god. :V

But seriously, I have a plan for how to handle. :)
 
@torrmercury Errr... can I try to grab the thug as well? I mean, I was waiting for Crow to decide if we go after him or not. I'm just gonna roll somehting if yes.

Edit: Today is not a good day!

@Crow Your character is currently conscious but unaware of what's going on around her unless the Penguin makes physical contact with you. You have free reign for how to deal with what happened and how you react to the prompting.

If Penguin doesn't make physical contact, you will come to your senses in about 5-8 minutes of not breathing in the smoke.
