Lionel "Freight Train" Williams
Lionel follows the group upstairs, herding them along and making sure nobody tries to stay behind.

Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Jason just lookes in stunned silence between Eta and the Mayor, but he knows better than to try getting involved and just continues to shepard the crowd and ask questions.

The Firehouse
Ribbon Cutting Day
Aug. 9, 2018, 11am
Hot, humid, and crowd dispersing outside.
There is a brief press meeting in the conference area. Everything goes well enough and soon people are filing out.
Mac made some headway with a lead on possible hauntings at the historical site, specifically in the old court house. The team has been given permission to check it out and just need to arrange a time and the board members will sign off on permits to do so.
Jason wows the crowd and is able to make a contact with Gabby and realizes there is a card in his pocket with her name and contact on it.
Lionel keeps everyone in line... literally... but manages to keep his nose clean despite a mishap. Everything looks good so far!
Roy fixed the glitch on the Containment Unit just in time. Sees they need to do some diagnostic work since the installation was apparently a rush job.
And Etta finds out some troubling details about their franchise status...
wrapping this mission! Will be posting some next steps soon!

+4 to Roy for extra maintenance bonuses and fixing the Containment Monitor in the nick of time.
+4 to Etta for uncovering investment info about the franchise.
+2 to Jason for establishing a contact with Gabby.
+2 to Jason for possible romantic/professional interest with Gabby.
+2 to Mac for "Jack Jawing" with the locals.
+1 to Lionel for keeping the locals in line. (counting this a partial success because of the tackle)
Success in the mission +150% of all Bps spent.
+6 Jason

Please check my math!
I know these "social scenarios" are a little slow and I will work on finding ways to speed it up, but they are a great way to uncover plot points and hooks that lead to more action and I will always try to make them worth your while in the end when rewarding BPs back. If anyone feels like I might have missed something, let me know, and we can discuss it in PMs. Otherwise, I will be archiving this mission after everyone has a chance to review the outcomes.

Re: The Ribbon Cutting.
Mac used 3 bps, so his 150% would round up to 5. He should have 3 more points.
Since Lionel didn't use any bps, 150% of 0 would be 0. I am fine with not getting a bonus, but if you want to give him a point, I won't argue very strenuously.
Everything else looks good.

Re: The Ribbon Cutting.
Thanks Scott! Still waiting on the war story of a game you played for 25 hours!
As for Lionel, I felt like I should give something.. so I gave 1 for managing not to cause a failure for lake of a better reason. Editing Mac's BPs now!
