All rolls on invisible castle please gents, its all nice and open that way.
Can we all put our colour coded dialogue legends in signatures too,
I like red for speech, blue for thought, green for matrix and yellow for astral but I'm happy with whatever scheme so long as it is clear what you are doing/saying
Today the PbP forum,,, TOMORROW THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
@GMhey mate, updated IC post for you
When I'm making my way around the perimeter of the warehouse are there any other doors or windows? Preferably I'd like to find one out of sight of the streets.
Also here is a Knowledge: Security Design roll for any insight into the best way to enter the warehouse undetected.

Quick question about the machinery in the yard. Is there enough scattered around that it's feasible for me to take cover from the camera? If so what roll(s) do you want me to make?

thats for a perception test to decide ;-) please add in a negative modifier of -4 on the test for low light.
while you're at it, please can you roll a seperate perception test for audio only (ie no visual enhance)
thanks!
I've tried to get registered on Invisible castle but I don't seem to be getting an email to confirm the log in. AHHHHH!! and this is not the first time I've tried this, and I keep using other forms of Scawire but no luck. :'(
sometimes that has a reverse effect, though rarely lol.
ok I edited my last post with the damage resistancere-read thr rules and ryu actually dodged it. i have to score a net hit to nail the damage down, we both got 4 so ryu is ok. proceed for ryu's pass :-)
I love running test glitches lol
things don't seem to be going quite as well for you lumen lol. having a bit of a rough night? lol
Lumen is first across the line to finish chapter 1 :-) well done mate
It seems I was able to have a fairly lucky go through with mine. Heck I even made my 1d6 perception roll lol. I hope the luck holds up. BTW can you use a programming suite and a nexus at the same time?

Born into servitude of an old noble family line in his native Scotland Michael was quick to take up the trade of his father, the estate gillie. He managed the lands and lived wild more often than not. when his father dies he took over the role as was his birthright.
When the last of the noble line died the estate fell into disrepair and went lost and forgotten as did Michael. He lived off the land and the critters that dwelt there, venturing as far as civilization only to get rudimentary supplies and more ammo for his rifle. Due to his practiced skills on the estate he has become a fine huntsman.
His natural skills unaided by technological advancement caught the eye of a few prospective clients and now Michael gets hired to hunt para critter among other things.
Roll for starting nuyen:

Not one.thinking of a way around it tbh. you need to be able to see the dude on the beach to make the drop, but are currently blind as a bat.
This is gonna suck, isn't it.
Hack the Planet......... Come on its is fun for all.
Game is going good. Ya shadowrun London style
Oh I am not -at- the scene just at least few blocks down by the time knives started shooting like a dolt... was hoping to edit before alarms went off >„>
Np, its a great game :-) playing as a rigger at the moment, quite enjoying it but it is really linear!
Ok no worries just wanted to make sure I'm on the right track. Could still be good to have a stealth suit before next chapter.thats what happens when you're not explicit with your requests to chinatown markets :-)
Though I have a sneaking suspicion that for 1700 it's not going to be what Knives is expecting.
Bonus is for top roleplaying mate, don't spend it all in one place lol :-)
Put it towards a grapple gun or something :-)
me too, should be a good one! :-) if she wants to play in CH3 she's more than welcome. teafo has gone AWOL and dragonslayer's net seems to be down so his story has stalled too. we've got a free slot or two if she'd like to join!
Sorry for the short delay I'm now back at home and will resume regular posting, sorry if this trip has inconvenienced any ones regularly programed games .
I got a few pages to read before I post.
Lumen you an adept you don't get drain like me as a mystic adept I also don't get drain from my adept abilities
And sorry guys that I missed yesterday's posts
Hey if you got microphones tell Mantis, the mic might still be enhance to hear his subvocal I can't stop using it until the intel comes my way this way I play in character. Then we just text moving and standing that way we got a good system not to hit each other.
GotchA. Sorry for the slow posts busy busy busyhey mate, any chance you can get a post up in the next day or two?
"As you wait for the spirit to complete it's search you cast your eyes over the card knives returned with.
It bears the GridGuide Corporate logo and a holographic picture of Joel Jenkins.
Below his name, it states LEVEL 2 CLEARANCE
Below this is an embedded RFID chip.
The flip side bore the note: "Report all card losses immediately to GG security office. Failure to do so is a disciplinary offence."
The corporate headquarters address was inscribed on the rear of the card as well as commcode channels for Human Resources."
RL has been pretty busy for raiden so i'll give him till sunday night to get a post up (i really don't want to railroad his character unless i have to).
feel free to chat amongst your chars or explore the floor
Mantis does have one trump card he has a rating 3 agent with some hacking programs. I could always get him to use that.It's better than nothing. My agent doesn't have any hacking programs.
I'm thinking if anyone of us have to leave for a long time we could let one of the other two runners play the character until they return. Just an idea.
sorry guys, raiden keeps popping up and lulling me into a false sense of security. new post is up, we'll play this section without him i think.
Let's hope the dice are with us boys! This should be fun ;D
CS is there any way up or down other than the way we came? If I need to check the blueprints what kind of action would it take?
Sweet. Yea air vents are not my favorite options. I've been burned one too many times lol. If memory serves that fire escape leads to the fenced in yard. Which could work out if most of them come up to get us.yeah, just make sure you have a plan for getting out of that courtyard. it was a bloody big gate.
Dodge 4 + Reaction 5 - Distraction 1 = 8d6.
8d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4235666/)
If we're still in initiative my whole next pass, other than a free action to turn off the Flash-Pak, will be to go get it and the Flash Bang. I just need to know how far (aka what action) it will take. Hopefully by then Mantis can inspect the panel and figure out if I need to fleece a guard on the way out.probably not with all those sustained spells lol!
Now I just hope Mantis can climb ;D
Edit: Also is the Edge test current edge or Max Edge?and this?
Ya we are almost there. Thing is that mage could be VERY hard to lose if they stay on our tail.so close! your move mantis, make it count!
oh man, you guys suck at rolling dice!
Question CS: Where did said bottle of vodka come from? I only bought 2 shots.....barman gave you a bottle, glasses and a chalkboard to notch up how many you have had. you pay the tab at the end of the night
Page 18 and 19 of chapter 2 does say what me and knives took with us on the last run and I did take my electronics tool kit that might help.
Mantis has a rating 1 in hardware and a electronics tool kit if it is needed.
invisible castle is back up again guys, roll away
Any program run by an agent is
limited by its Pilot rating.
She's playing too but I'll make sure she gets something posted tomorrow. Sorry for the delay we've been building a kickass gaming table, got it finished just in time.Pics or it didn't happen! :-) you guys play any miniatures games or just RPGs?
Levitate for the win?lol, a little bit. seemed a bit harsh to chuck in a ghoul mage with counterspelling to drop you out of the sky, fall would probably kill you outright :-)
:) kk
Well I forgot it was getting on to evening time. We may want to rest up at the mansion tonight and get at it early the next day. That way we can spend pretty much the whole next day scoping out the area. You said 40 minute drive right?yep, maybe a touch less on a night time, much more in rush hour
Just remember that you stick out "like white bullocks on a black dog" lmfao. Brilliant quote btw lumen, was pissing myself when I read that
seeing as how IC hates you today, i'll have a fresh set of rolls please, for infiltration and climbing :-)
remember its -2 for flat brick, +2 assisted so no other modifiers.
i like your thinking guys, it'll be a called shot from a moving vehicle for a modifier of -4 when you're ready
Summoned spirits appear on the astral plane and manifest so thatrulebook p188
they are visible in the physical world as a ghostly image. The spirit can
hang around in astral space awaiting orders,
so just to make it explicit, Dunk can get another *very* short flight out of the drone if you feel you need it. you will have to go and retrieve it if it goes flat in-flight though :-)
also, if you guys survive till CH4, would you want to port to SR5 or would you rather stick with 4e. I'm easy either way but will leave it up to you two

Is it enough to make the 30 meters to the building then at least take a snap shot?also, if you guys survive till CH4, would you want to port to SR5 or would you rather stick with 4e. I'm easy either way but will leave it up to you two
I'll have to read up on the changes. I read it cover to cover when it first came out, the group I was GMing for decided not to swap, and I haven't looked at it since. I don't think much will effect Knives except limits... I'm kinda impartial but you may have to remind me of somethings / be patient with me getting acclimated. Sadly work has been nuts and it's not likely to calm down for some time... I'm sure you've both noticed my post count dropping :P
TLDR: Staying 4th would be easier but I'm not opposed if both of you want to switch.
I was hoping I could find some cover to watch from the ground as Knives goes to high ground for an intel look.The alleyway knives was in is your best bet, a bit further down to your left
Is there anywhere I can hide and still spot Knives area.
Since I want to give the spirit helper the command to conceal me and Knives but I don't want to get the concealment put on Mantis until he has a break of L.O.S from the target buildin
building.
hey! just dropping by to see how the game goes, I am glad it is still continuing. Just stopping to post to say hullo and happy running!hey man, didn't know you were still around! hows it going?
lol, that was pretty funny. totally ridiculous, but funny.
sometimes as a GM i wish device ratings went past 6 :-) lol
yeah, you still hit it fairly easily even at 2xR. can be quite difficult as a GM getting the right level of balance, especially with mages on board. I enjoy it though!sometimes as a GM i wish device ratings went past 6 :-) lol
In the campaign I ran IRL I usually house ruled that it was 2x device rating, or in some cases got a bonus based on a roll made to install the device... stuff like that. Though my group essentially started as "Prime Runners" and then we played for about a year. Not to mention a bunch of min-maxers.
Any of those blinking lights red? Do they provide enough light to see a little better?red/green LED's for the most part. maybe a couple of orange ones.
lol, well if you weren't so intent on scaring the shit out of the locals with magic, your legwork might have been more successful :-)
@Lumen; if you're struggling to see anything of use, remember your commlink has a holo-projector built in. it would cast enough of a weak light that you'd be able to see a bit more.
failing that, you've always got the markets to buy a proper flashlight from and don't forget dunk is a rigger, skilled at working with electronics.
A clear plastic sheet covers the row of ports, hinged at the far side to swing out of the way for access.
Try as you might, the plastic cover would not budge under pressure from your fingers alone. IT feels like the sleeve is there to protect the ports from more than just the weather...
Balls. Is it possible to cut through the plastic without damaging the plug? Sounds like that could work without setting off the RFID sensor. Since he chucked the two ceramic blades he'd have the two combat knives so he doesn't have to use the cougars.it is possible, but remember it is an "anti-tamper" device :-)
Though I just had a thought... pretty sure Mantis said he had a hardware kit, which may have something a little more subtle.
Thanks for the breakdown CS!cool, i'll await your IC posts then gents
I'm leaning towards 3 or 4. Knives is the sneaky stabby type, not the technology wiz type. Hell I could toss down one end of stealth rope and the gecko gloves, have Mantis hang on and I could pull him up. That way Knives does the heavy lifting.
2 is an option but it could be really risky. 1 I think will result in failure, we were warned from the beginning if they find out it was tampered with the mission was a bust.
Intuition 3. 3d6.hits(5)=2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4571626/) Both 6s!booya! great roll
Sorry about not posting much bit busy and can only get one up per day.No problems. because of the delays getting through the barrier, the gangers have managed to pretty much close the gap.

(EDIT: rolled for his reach bonus but it didn't make a difference)
DV6P + net hits to dodge/soak lumen
Good if you had any more good luck I don't think we'd make it lol.i know, was a bit worried myself! no way to fudge rolls on IC either! will get the rest of the rolls up tonight
I'll try to sprint but not sure what to roll
Reaction 6 + Intuition 3 - Wounds 1 = 8d6. 8d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4585437/)-1 to your first action then mate
Damn IC is unrelenting, glitched initiative :-\
Initiative 9 IPs 3.
Is Knives first again? Do we have any clue how close we are to Dunk?Edited post above to show initiative
It's fine, the ganger retreat, confused and badly wounded, plus he went on full defence so lost an action anyway!
I'll get the full write up on after dinner tonight.
Do you two want to draft up some 5e versions of mantis and knives? I'll give them a looksie to make sure it'll work. Obviously you'll get to keep any earned karma, gear and cash.

I'll give it a shot using the 5th ed chummer beta that's floating around the boards. I just have problems prioritizing, I'm not sure which is most appropriate for how Knives was originally spent. It will probably be the weekend before I get it posted but I'll start working on it.

Crit glitch? nice....
You're 100% sure that the iconography on the tattoo relates to the Creedus Maximus group. You know they've been involved in some pretty brutal murders of awakened folk over the years, and they've been slandered all over the 'trix for being linked to various conspiracy theories and "terrorist" attacks on magical research facilities and talisleggers
Gangs 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6. 5d6.hits(5)=0 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4671208/)
You're at a loss as to what gangs could be involved, it could be one of hundreds or a mixture of several.
Underworld 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6. 5d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4671209/)
You knew that smugglers would often offload cargo to a middleman who'd bring the goods ashore in a RHIB sized craft for a cut.
You knew that the Clerkenwells had contacts in the Essex dead zone but also that others ran out of East Anglia where the coast guard presence was lower.
Bigger lads paid the bribes to the LPO and HMRC and landed directly in the docklands, cutting out the middlemen. As it was, you had no idea which would happen tonight.
Clearly not hired for his brains.
Correct me if I got the modifier wrong, Knives has low-light in his contacts.sorry mate, my previous post wasn't very clear
Perception 4 + Intuition 3 + Enhancements 3 - Wounds 1 - Heavy Rain 2 = 7d6. 7d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4674379/)
Crappy roll but I'm specifically looking for signs of another boat. If those guys we just murdered were pirates they had to come from somewhere.
Hey guys I wanted to give you a heads up. My wife is about ready to deliver so I will probably be distant the next few days at least.No worries mate, good luck with everything!!
Well I feel like an idiot. I forgot moving was a free action. I could have charged and still stabbed but oh well.Eh, no drama. did think you'd been a bit conservative with that pass lol. you're in full cover so can't be targetted at least, Dunk will get the majority of the retribution anyway as he's the one with a gun levelled at them.

Fading can only be healed by the body’s natural healing process, which means taking some time to rest.
@Csjarrat: Just to make sure, the John at the bar is not 'Fingers'?Correct, John is just one of the staff you know there. He's been working there about 6 months and knows you by face but isn't considered a contact.
Thanks, just making sure. Another question before I post IC, is it normal for Mr. Smith to arrange a meet on such short notice? They are 'just biz' contacts so I don't expect much here, but if this is unusual it'll reflect in how Taylor reacts.The timeline is quite a bit quicker than usual, they normally give you about 30 mins or so.
@ CS
Couple of things
1) when do you want me to IC my Ally
2) Here is the list from OOC page 1 changes to Mantis section of my character saying what I bought with my Nuyen
- goggles w/ Ultrasound
-Micro camera w/ magnigication
-duck tape ( Great stuff like really great stuff)
-Lined coat w/ chemical protection R3, non conductive R3, fire Resistance R3 keep this
-Fake SIN R4 w/ license (Magic) R4 keep this
-Comm Meta- link (Vector Xim (R:1 Sig:1 F:1 Sys:1) keep this
-Gas Mask keep this
-Micro Transceiver this is fine, i assume you kept it around your neck during the escape, will just need a charge overnight-Clothine Black shirt and pants (minus the shirt it was used an orc smelling masks. Ha Ha I stink)
these are trashed and replaced by the ones you had at home
-Group items-
-Thermovision goggles with vision mag
-Wire cutters
-Miniwelder
- gecko gloves i assume all this stuff would have been kept in the kit bag that Dunk held onto and divvied up before you went your separate ways. Its up to you two as to who ends up with what
Left over nuyen 684 Y
Also I got a contact Pavel Fixer at 2/1 that I did't put in the 5th edition build.
So in the end let me know if any of these items are still mine if they are you might want to add them to my character sheet at the start of IC chapter 4. Your call, I'm fine if I lose them since my 5th edition Mantis is WAY better then 4th edition Mantis.
Thanks again for the game.
@Csjarrat: Unless this is normal, I think Taylor would be spooked by this. An unspecified source that may or may not be a middle man for Mr. Smith giving him an obscure location to be at in a short timeframe and then non-responsive smells really fishy to him. Before I go and have Taylor do something stupid I want to make sure he doesn't know something I don't, namely wether this is as fishy as it smells to me :P If this an odd, but still within the bounds of "normal," construct for him and Mr. Smith then he'll probably go the loo route and set up some precautions. Otherwise this is going to be a blown meet, and he'll contact Mr. Smith notifying him of the unorthodox scenario.Its not totally unprecedented for Smith, it makes you nervous because you assume something has either got him rattled or whatever job he has is urgent and he needs you to get right on it.
ETA: Also, can I have him order a micro-camera with an image link in it. Should have done it at char gen, but forgot. It's ¥125 with an availability of -, which I take to mean that I can just order form the equivelent of Amazon Prime and have it delivered to the house?
Its not totally unprecedented for Smith, it makes you nervous because you assume something has either got him rattled or whatever job he has is urgent and he needs you to get right on it.
Its not the usual by any standards though.
As for the camera, no problems. If you're using the SiNner quality, just buy it straight out of your starting money. It'll be delivered pre-9 tomorrow.
If using a fake SiN, i'll need to run a sin scanner over it :-)
Also, Invisible castle seems to be having tons of problems.
I've been using orokos.com (http://orokos.com) recently with no issues if you guys want to use that going forwards
Yeah, I noticed! But hey, Runners that aren't paranoid die fast :PYou've met her before, two or three times virtually. she tends to do the online middleman stuff for smith, the data usually comes on a datachip from a dead drop location that is arranged 6-12 hours after the digital meet
The mark invite makes sense, but a request for an invite doesn't to me :/ apologies if i've miswrote something; the intention was it was a meeting invite(date and time) with an invite to take a mark on the host to enter the meet (passkey).
Have I met Bexter before? Feels like there's a familiarity to it. I had a whole IC post written up, but then I realized I didn't know where you wanted to go with it, so I'll make a short "sure thing" response. I'm assuming the data is in this host, and that Bexter will give me access to it.
I'll run a MP on the icon:
MP on encrypted data (Int 5 + Comp 6 + MP Spec 2 + TM 2 + VR 2 = 17) (http://orokos.com/roll/243308): 17d6t5 8 (limit 6)
Questions:
Rating of encryption
Is there a databomb
When was the most recent edit of the file
What marks are on the icon
If there is a bomb, what rating is the bomb
Are there any fluffy bunnies? (Ran out of questions :P)

I'm going to do another MP on each file to ID the Matrix Signature on each.Databomb detonates, destroying file

Mostly just looking to see if there are multiple signatures, if all of the ones I find ar the same, I'm not going to worry overly much about missing one.
Next its time to try the first bomb. Sprites can't help with this, so it's all me :( Let's do this one at a time.
First chip big file data bomb:
Disarm Data Bomb (Int 5 + Software 6 + VR 2 = 13) (http://orokos.com/roll/245976): 13d6t5 3 (limit 5)
This being pretty fraggin' important and that won't, on average, score any net hits, here's a point of edge to re-roll misses
Edge to re-roll misses (10) (http://orokos.com/roll/245977): 10d6t5 5
ffs, needed that the first time :( 8 total hits, limit is 5. Here's hoping the bomb doesn't roll nearly as well as I did on that second roll.
I'll IC this first part up.
mwhahaha. something far more sinister than death by databomb has occurred, but to your char, he's none the wiser.
Just a bit baffled as to why there was no painful detonation.
bomb got a sucky roll this time:
(http://orokos.com/roll/248169): 10d6t5 2 you beat it with 3 net hits.
As I said in the IC, taylor thinks the message encoding represents a private network, something separate from the main matrix architecture but clearly related and compatible with it.
Something perhaps like a very specialised VPN for the 2070's
Sorry for the delay, my hotel had no wifi, and I only got to i hops once and never got the time to post.Good to see you back mate, hope you had a great time!
One thing CS do I already have my Ally spirit or do I roll play it out later??????
At this point Knives knows a fight is coming and would rather not be exactly where they expect him to be. Gonna go ahead and roll initiative, hopefully Johnny is no push over in a fight. :PCorrect, you get to go on 18 and 8, leaving you with a few points of initiative spare if you want to take an interrupt action (most cost -5 ini)
Initiative: 11 - 1 Intoxicated + 3d6. 3d6=8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4761247/) So total Initiative is 18. So if I understand 5th ed correctly he gets to act at 18 and at 8, is that right?

will get a full post up tomorrow gents, had a day of tabletop gaming today and now its time for a pint or 6.
Along with fives and sixes, you need to pay attention to how many ones show up when you roll the dice. If more than half the dice you rolled show a one, then you’ve got problems.(emphasis mine)
@zwei, you wanna roll me a diagnostics + hardware roll to repair the soyprocessor?That was all story fluff. I had my gremlins break it as fluff, I assumed I wouldn't need to use a task from my sprite to fix it :( (note I've got plenty of tasks on him, so not the end of the world.)
Taylor is gonna summon a data sprite and they'll start looking for any icons that don't belong on him.
Compiling Level 6 Data Sprite (Res 6 + Comp 6 = 12) (http://orokos.com/roll/255141): 12d6t5 5 (limit 6)

Okay, looking for icons/tags:
I'm gonna help the sprite look for this stuff:

Waste... should have just used mine to search in the first place :(
Oh well, he'd spend about 2 minutes actively looking for it, so that's a *lot* of MP checks. Lemme know if you want more MP rolls from the two of them. I'm gonna IC this part up.
you'd need to get within about 2-3 foot of the door scanner it when a genuine card is being used or scan a card physically with it.
also, can you preempitevly roll me an infiltration + an etiquette test?
Is he heading towards or away from the club?He's heading down towards downing street, so away from the club. You currently can't go any further as you're blocked by a security cordon due to a visit from a head of state, so the pedestrian traffic has kind of bottlenecked and is trying to divert around the blockage.
A task is basically one job you ask/tell your sprite to do. It has to be a simple task without conditions or heavy decision-making requirements. A single task can be one of the following things: A single use of a sprite power; one Combat Turn worth of Matrix actions that apply to the same job; participation in cybercombat that lasts until all of the enemy combatants have been defeated or you’ve escaped to safety.
If you succeed with an Attack action, your target becomes aware that it is under attack by another icon, but it doesn’t automatically spot you. It will most likely actively search for you on its next action, although it will almost always alert its owner to the attack and (if it’s a host) launch IC, depending on the owner’s preferences and the gamemaster’s judgment. If you fail with an Attack action, you are not noticed, because you failed to affect your opponent (though note the damage effects of rejected code coming back to you, Illegal Actions, p. 231).Emphasis mine.
Ah I see, yeah you can enter the pub and shout out the windows or from first floor. Pub owner will let you in as pays protection money to your outfit. Mum and baby doing well btw, just gonna be struggling to post much this week, bear with me
Great to hear everyone is doing well. No worries on the posts, I've obviously been struggling a little myself. Zeib is making look bad with all his awesome rp :P.
I'll work on a IP and some rolls.
W00T!
we can hide stuff now!
cool, i've updated your IC so feel free to move it on at your leisure.
Back to work next week so should be back to the old routine of posting regularly. apologies for the slowness these past weeks!
I assume the fancy suit is nothing more than expensive clothing but let me know the stats on the fencing gear as I assume it will come up here soon. If things go to plan then Knives will be confronting this douche on the practice mat and putting the pressure on.Fencing gear will count as custom fit armour with helmet. It gives ARM 4 against melee attacks only and counts as having a biomonitor and single sensor (pressure) woven throughout it.
Okay, trying to think of ways through or around the blockade...Police procedure is to direct resources at the biggest threat vector, in this case it would be the main entrance to the tube station, as that's where the majority of foot traffic would fall. far less resources would be put into blockading maintenance exits or emergency exits (if anything, a patrol drone might be tasked with occasionally checking them if there is one free) as they tend to be electronically alarmed to dissuade incorrect usage by the public, or are through restricted zones that the public cannot access.
How to get through the blockade (Police Procedure 2 + Logic 6 = 8) (http://orokos.com/roll/316479): 8d6t5 1
wow, that's a *really* bad roll... I'll use one of my points of edge to re-roll that and hope I don't need them later :P

Welcome aboard Prof! It'll be nice to finally have a face with us. I'm gonna miss ol Dunk behind the wheel but can't complain about a pretty redhead lol.I see her as an upgrade lol, Dunk was fun to GMPC but I think it was about time he was replaced by a PC as he was fairly essential to taxi you two about lol!
Matrix Perception finding cameras and locks (Logic 6 + MP 6 + TM 2 + Spec 2 = 16) (http://orokos.com/roll/316531): 16d6t5 7
He'd rather not muck with the cameras if he can avoid it, but if he thinks he'll get caught otherwise, he'll look into spoofing them.
That's a pretty good roll on the lock, so unless they are running silently and have a pretty big die pool I'm guessing I'll get a couple of questions for it:
1. device rating of lock/alarm
2. FW rating of lock/alarm
3. Grid lock/alarm is on
if I've got hits left
1. device rating of camera pointed at this door
2. FW rating of camera
3. Grid camera is on
All of this is assuming the alarm/lock is the same device. If it's not I'll do more searches to get that data.

Ok, so way back down the corridor towards the platform you disembarked onto was a maintenance corridor, the door has a wireless keypad lock and is in the line of sight of a camera in a mirrored dome mount on the ceiling. there is also a swipecard lock about 20meters that responds to your search query, its icon pops up in AR but is out of line of sight on the other side of the door.
Both locks and cameras are good consumer level versions, DR 3 with identical DP/FW
They are all on the TFL grid and slaved to the station's host.
Knowledge Blades 2 + Logic 2 + Martial Arts bonus 2 = 6d6 [5]. 6d6.hits (5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4848683/)there is currently an even number of fencers but there are a few looking like they're doing their stretches and cool down exercises. by the time you get changed and get down into the hall you figure there'll be someone to practice with
One more question, are there an even number of fencers? Is everyone partnered up or is there room for one more if Knives does decide to go "practice"?

So the DP/FW != 3? sorry, yeah rules memory fail. its a DR3 camera, DP3 as per normal. FW is 6 as per host. Or does the host also have a DP/FW of 3? AFAIK, the only way I'd know they were slaved to something is that their DP/FW were not equal to their DR (which would be a dead giveaway), or by going into the master and looking for devices slaved. That said, here's another MP for the host:
Matrix Perception TFL host (Logic 6 + MP 6 + TM 2 + Spec 2 = 16) (http://orokos.com/roll/316823): 16d6t5 4
Wow, that's a crappy roll. But good enough for me:
1. device rating 5
2. firewall rating 6
3. sleaze rating 1
4. data processing rating 9
And then finally does Taylor see an alarm system separate from the locks, or is it an integrated system? you just see the icons for the locks and assume alarm is built in to reduce ability to tamper with the alarm
Welcome saithor! I've been looking forward to seeing someone using the Borrowed Time Trait :)
Yup, so I could get a direct connection to the lock, and maybe find a map showing where both doors led to. Make sure I wasn't going into the employee lounge when I'm trying to sneak out 😆Hehe, yeah that might be awkward.
Yup, so I could get a direct connection to the lock, and maybe find a map showing where both doors led to. Make sure I wasn't going into the employee lounge when I'm trying to sneak out 😆Hehe, yeah that might be awkward.
Roll me a data search test (3) to find the map then.
@lumen, can you me initiative please
Resistance roll for the lock:
Yeah, this is going to take me a few minutes :P
Data Search (Computer 6 Logic 6 = 12) (http://orokos.com/roll/317379): 12d6t5 1

There we go. Two minutes?
Then I'll HotF the next object that makes sense (direct connect through the Host), either the swipe card door lock or the camera if I need to go down that hall:
HotF TFL device (Log 6 + Hack 6 = 12) (http://orokos.com/roll/317381): 12d6t5 2
Wow, I'm rolling *really* poorly :( Getting caught is *not* an option, so I guess I'll use my last edge here :( Hopefully it's on the lock thats getting me out of the building:
Edging for hotf (10 misses) (http://orokos.com/roll/317382): 10d6t5 4
Needed that roll first time. 6 hits reduced to sleaze limit of 5.
6d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4850369/)
2 net hits to you, granting a further MARK.
that's 2 sleaze actions + 2 mins time added to OS and you're free to act
I'm guessing since you gave me the mark on the lock that the map tells me that that path is best for me. I'll also run Static Veil to keep my OS from going up over time:
Static Veil level 2 (Res 6 + Software 6 = 12) (http://orokos.com/roll/317427): 12d6t5 4
Soak 2 Fade (Will 5 + Res 6 = 11) (http://orokos.com/roll/317428): 11d6t5 4
2 questions on the Lock:
Hrm.. I know the dr=3 and it's fw=3
Last Matrix action Control device, unlock
What Marks are on this device Hosts mark, your mark, 20-25 employee marks
Also, via DNI is unlock a free or simple command, and did I waste an effort getting a mark on the device when I could have just spoofed a command from the Host?simple action would do it, as would a spoof action
To save some back and forth, I'm going to give you another HotF (ignore it if I only need a free action) along with the control device rolls:
HotF TFL device (Log 6 + Hack 6 = 12) (http://orokos.com/roll/317429): 12d6t5 4
Control Device Unlock Door (Int 5 + EW 6 = 11) (http://orokos.com/roll/317430): 11d6t5 4the lock yields and the door opens
Does the map show were the cameras are in the route I want to take? each doorway from here on it is covered by a low rating camera (DR1), purely there to track employee motions I'll IC my side of getting into the host and marking the lock. I left going through the door timing a little vague. Does Mams have any reason to think there are people on the other side of this door? can't hear anything obvious due to crowd noise, icons moving about way down corridor out of sight, corresponds roughly to the two main rooms identified on the map. most employees you'd imagine would be at their stations of work right now Does he see icons in the host moving in the vicinity? I know I'll need two marks and a trace icon action to know precisely where they are in the meat, but I'd think he could get the impression of activity given his access to the host. yep, most of the icons you see roughly correspond to where you think they should be, obviously not with any level of certainty. common sense says that in crisis mode, people get stuck in at their workstations If not, I'll have to go with trying to access cameras :P
@CS: I didn't find anything specific about it in the rules so I guess it's up to you. Is it possible to perform an interrupt action on an interrupt action? Knives is expecting this guy to riposte again, would it be possible to use my last 5 initiative to parry his riposte?hoo boy, think I better consult the rulebook! lol
I'm still not clear on what Taylor thinks is on the other side of this door. Nor on what a reasonable plan of action is. Does Taylor believe he will be able to get to an exit relatively unnoticed by going through this door?The map shows that there is a series of corridors, running away from you towards two fire exits that head up through the sewerage to street level.

I wouldn't have thought you could (lest you end up in a "i'm parrying the parry that he parried after I parried his parry"), but this being shadowrun, I better check lol

How is a rating 1 device rolling 6 dice? Or did Taylor fail his MP on these?Does the map show were the cameras are in the route I want to take? each doorway from here on it is covered by a low rating camera (DR1), purely there to track employee motions
So he succeeds in marking them? He's trying to snag the feed (don't know what to roll for that) and I threw the edits in there already for when he walks past them.ah, I always had it in my head it was 50% for glitch and >50% for crit. nae bother, you pass them all anyways. grabbing the feed to monitor is a snoop action based on ewar iirc.
Does anyone notice him scamper down the hallway with him using the cameras to make sure he's clear?
And in 5E none of those are glitches... needs to be >50% (so for 2 dice need both to be 1s for a glitch, which is automatically a crit glitch).
Lol Csjarret, you have Silas jumping at invisible Soy Processor controlling hackers.haha, now that is the appropriate level of shadowrun paranoia!
@Lumen: In 5th you can still act with an ini of 7, but you'll alternate actions (excluding interrupts) with all other combatants. So you'll get one more action, you can go neg.

Well besides Knives and Taylor. I imagine the gangers are having a hell of a time trying to figure out what is going on right now though.

I imagine the gangers are having a hell of a time trying to figure out what is going on right now though. Next round will be an illusion of a d of Humanis people charging down the streets holding banners saying "I lost my job to a Pixie!" or something to the same effect. If he's going to be running for his life, might as well at the same time.
Actually we haven't met yet either :). Knives has only ever worked with Mantis (Scawire) and Hax (very briefly) who aren't playing anymore.
Problem: With Charisma 2, Intimidation untrained and the modifiers being negative for me, I have no dice pool for it. So, is there anyhting else I can try besides hoping that the idiot is smart enough not to get a face full of buckshot?Hi mate, just had a re-read through the intimidation rules and yeah, they're actually pretty shit. so it seems i put you into an unwinnable situation so lets go with a houserule.
Is it unable to make it back even if I move to ground-the thing and have it roll over the drifts? If that's the still the case I'll work on tracking the thing down.Hey mate, your piloting test manages to get the drone within 250m of the van before it runs out of power and enters emergency standby mode, the last image it sends back is a thermal image of the van, at the top of the hill.
@CsjarratYeah, she knows you're not a regular decker, that smith uses you for odd jobs that the regular hires can't do and suspects you're a TM. Just never had it confirmed to her from the horse's mouth so-to-speak
Btw, I still don't know if Bex knows Mams is a TM or not. I'm leaning towards "no" as she's not even a contact of mine (Smith is, but I've been working through Bex the whole storyline), but early on she was referencing some of my "special" abilities which implies that she *does* know. /me is just a bit confused (and happy to throw a log + int roll to see if Mams is as well)
Thanks. It feels to me through role play, that Bex and Mams are reasonably close given they actually meet in the meat. Should I switch her in for my Smith contact and lower the connection and raise the loyalty? Not close like he'd like to be with Amber, but nearly as friendly as he is with Ralphy.yeah, that sounds sensible to me!
/me likes the story and is happy to make the crunch fit.
Just as a heads up, I'll have slightly reduced net access next week but I'll still do my best to post.no worries mate, been doing a few late shifts myself and looking after the little one in the morning.

Lumen, in sr5 you can't take two attack actions in the same IP without splitting your die pool :(
Once we wrap up the time at Ralphy's I'll write up having him train some on survival (using 2 karma) and spend some time working on his sprites. I'm not looking to min/max every moment free to build up tasks, just spend some time working on them. Maybe compiling a new one, but probably not. Two is probably enough for right now.No mate, usual things apply basically, just don't take the piss :-)
I'll update his sheet with these changes once I get the rolls done. Got any limitations you'd like me keep in mind?
@CS I've lost track of how much ¥¥ Taylor has. If you don't have it saved somewhere I can go back through the posts and try and re-create what he's got and what he's spent.i think you got x2 payments on credstik of 500 ish, plus whatever your starting cash was. rent is due next week (in-game).
Also, when is rent due?
This job pays 5k so you're good, so long as you complete it lol
lol, you might be able to grab some salvage as well while you're up there for a bit of extra spendiesThis job pays 5k so you're good, so long as you complete it lol
Literally do or die! :P

yeah, you got paid 1500. we'll say breakfast was covered by lifestyle but the meal and other assorted stuff comes to 50 to make the housekeeping nice and tidy.
Counts as a decent meal so +1 to your healing roll tonight

//bit different this time, intrusion and monitoring. I need to get an ear on a specific commlink at a specific time. 1500 for successful completion and retrieval of audio capture. Sound good?
Note: you use your commlink to broadcast your SIN, but it is not implicitly tied to that 'link. IE, just because you loose your link doesn't mean you loose your SIN. Real or Fake.
Hmmmm an insulated cloak costs 350 for a passé looking one...Its a good call, especially if you're gonna go exploring the ranges of the property. Its quite an extensive piece of land and its quite rugged terrain too. With the cold and the snow, you will be making exposure rolls and insulated stuff will come in damn handy for that :-) otherwise, you'll have to keep cutting it short and returning to the warmth to avoid taking fatigue damage
May have to look into it!
I forgot to write up the event, but Mams bought insulation rating 4 for his Steampunk armor. Want me to get something up about that or did we miss it?So long as its on your charsheet mate, that's fine
A gesture of 100 quid should give you some warmer kit, gloves/hat/scarf etc. Enough for a bit of activity outdoors but not enough for extended periods, you'd need gear with the insulation mod to avoid exposure tests
For the record, Bex would probably introduce my character by her as-of-yet-unused-IC-Streetname Redline. She just doesn't always think of herself as "Redline" unless she's jumped into a fast car...noted! sorry, slipped into autopilot with the name, have edited the post
Please let me know what range the biker he is at and if Knives can move to get a clearer shot. Is it possible to take a shot out of the back of the van without spilling our kit all over the road?currently two range bands in chase combat, so long/extreme range for tasers.
My little one has been the same! Full of snot, coughing and spiking a high temp as well :-(
