I want to roll perception for when i get there and when i enter the building
Outside http://orokos.com/roll/287510
Enter http://orokos.com/roll/287511
-
So who's our negotiator? Calico has some modest negotiating skill, but if anyone is specifically geared for that they'll be better'n me ...
-
definitely not Terrane
-
Ok, I'm going to assume it's me unless somebody speaks up before the appropriate time
GM: for the record, I'll be deferring all my dice rolls to you, unless that adds an undue burden.
-
I'll add your perception to the in-charecter description of the place, which will go up in few minutes.
I can totally handle dice, let me know when you want to do something specific.
-
I'm definitely not a negotiator. I can intimidate but that's about it.
As i get to the place i would like use my knowledge skill to identifie any obvious sign of which gang or syndicate operates in the area and then adjust my garb to be respectful of the group. whether that be to wear there colors symbols or to do nothing at all.
-
It's triad turf, though whether the 88s or the yellow lotus your not sure since the two have been feuding recently.
-
I'll stick to keeping my coat a neutral color then.
-
Also, who could most benefit from a little combat turbo boost? Ideally someone with a good offense, but little or no wired reflexes ....
-
I'm a physical adept only have one level in improved I could use it. So are we going to meet up outside and head in a group?
-
Keep in mind that tImproved Reflexes cannot be combined with any other technological or magical increases to initiative. If Increase Reflexes is cast on Terrane, he'll get the higher of either the Spell or his Level 1 Improved Reflexes.
-
That would be Terrane and I then. He's close combat, and I'm heavy weapons. I'm not sure, but i don't think either of us has wired reflexes. Terran might, but I don't think so being an adept. Angus spent all his money on weapons and armor so no augments yet, and he's not magical. So no cross overs there.
-
Angus wouldn't know weather it was a solo gig or not, plus our people wouldn't have any idea who they were meeting up with. You could i suppose mill about the front and look conspicuous and search for others doing the same, or hide and do that. Angus really would just go in and wait for the contact and catch up on the meal he missed.
-
Well i'm going to head in
-
I'm a negotiator unless someone else is better at it (10 dice)
As I head towards the tea house, I want to do a knowledge check - bars, to see if I'm aware of any particular organization in charge of that establishment
http://orokos.com/roll/288081 (http://orokos.com/roll/288081)
When Divillian arrives, if there's any other bikes outside he's going to do a quick perception check for anyone who might see him rub some dirt from his bike onto the nicest looking bike.
http://orokos.com/roll/288096 (http://orokos.com/roll/288096)
And of course, the Etiquette check when inside.

@VegasRigged
"They are either the rest of your team or a worrisome porno waiting to happen."
BAHAHAHAHA .... I literally LOL'd. Everyone turned to look at me.
-
Best line I've ever heard
-
Place Holder ( pardon I thought I'd posted here earlier)
"Diesen Stadt ist kotzlangweilig sein." Gespenst thought to himself staring out the tiny porthole that constituted the his view of the city. It revealed the flashing arrows that combined to make an advert for cider that blocked his view of anything more interesting. He looked back into the cramped confines of the coffin hotel and took inventory.
One: Ares Predator V with 3 reloads of APS.
Two: Up-armored Leather Storm coat with matching hat and sunglasses. Sure it's expensive, but synth leather was so stiff to the touch.
Three: One Flash-bang grenade. He felt it's slight weight in his hands and decided it was likely a good idea to have a less than lethal option available.
Four (and most importantly): The battered green and blue Renraku Tsurugi that followed him through 3 countries and over an ocean to his new home in the UCAS. It's fan whirred to life as he booted it up and jacked in to it. His cyber eyes projected the various login notices and diagnostics.
"Jetzt ist der richtige Moment zu die Stadt unsicher machen." Time to paint the town red. He thought as he chambered a round into his Predator, pulled himself out of the hatch, and walked down to pick up a pack of cigarellos and a lighter.
I've set my Deck to At: Slz Pro FW
5 5 3 6 with the Shell, Guard, and Hammer Apps on deck.
I'm going in jacked into AR.
-
Truly a solid line, much respect.
-
@Vegas hey I changed a few things around on Terrane CS might wanna check.it out made more sense to switch from mtn to shark s mentor spirit also I redistributed my pp
-
I would like to know much the food cost? Any signs of rank or organization inn the room on the walls, or on his person to give a clue as to whom this person is?
-
@Vegas hey I changed a few things around on Terrane CS might wanna check.it out made more sense to switch from mtn to shark s mentor spirit also I redistributed my pp
Made more sense from an RP standpoint or a mechanical standpoint? If you feel that a berserker rage fits him more than 'sticking to a plan', then you have full support! But, don't let the peanut gallery (http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=20775.0) push your concept around in the name of eking out a couple more dice or maximizing optimization. Play-by-post's strongest benefit is the depth of role-play you can get out of it's narrative focus!
-
It was rp though I did go to the peanut gallery it was for ideas but it's rp I see terrane as being a berserker a different type of stubborn
-
Sounds good! ;)
-
I'm a negotiator unless someone else is better at it (10 dice)
Schenn are you available to start negotiations idk about anyone else but i cant do anything IC until we talk to Mr. J
-
Dido... Calico could take lead if she's comfortable with it. Other wise the only way to negotiate i got is with a gun and for some reason Johnson don't look to kindly on that.
-
would you be so kind as to rolling my knowledge checks. I feel all of them should work except maybe sprawl.
Is that specific enough or should i list them?
-
I am now. Sorry, fell asleep last night before I could get in here. I'm on now and will be on all day.

@Agleaca
Most larger groups move their product through the docks, while gangs move their product through the overland routes. You know a place in the sprawl where their might be a shipment later tonight, probably through the Caravan. Your out of the loop on the Families drug operations, they might be moving something, may be wise to check. The triads have been moving a lot of product lately, they might be looking to resupply. The Yakuza have been more conservative, unlikely they'd risk two deal in one night.
-
Angus, gonna need to catch a ride w/you, so don't leave without me
-
I'm game, but I'm riding a single man motor cycle so that's going to be tough. You could ride like any biker lady on the back though ill carry the equipment inside my cello case on my person. or if you turn into a cat and ride on my lap, or probably in the cello case your so damn small. Of course I can always pay for a taxi too if your hard up. :) Just ask Angus in game. He's usually last out to be sure he doesn't miss anything.
-
Terrane is on a scorpion....
-
Divillian's on a dodge scoot. It looks like you might need to hail a cab.
-
Does anyone have a place we can meet and discuss the plan before engaging?
-
Technically all of the bikes can take one more person they will just run a littler slower. I would rather not leave a trail from Johnson to meeting place.
I was just looked back and it seem Gespenst has a Gopher which can seat 3 so really, however Calico wishes to go is up to her.
We could go back to my place or I'm sure that the mafia has a location that could be considered secure if you don't mind being surrounded by thugs in a bar. ;D I have no qualms with my place though i wont be living there long any way.
-
anywhere would be fine, terrane has a place in the underground thats semi secure no white noise gen but i doubt many people would eavesdrop on me in the first place also i could call up doughboy and ask to use his gym
-
My place is extra secure, obscure, and hard to find. we could do the talking in my "work" area. sorry didn't think to give the attributes when i offered the first time.
Speaking of which.
@Vegas I realize now that cramped plus demolitions is a no go. So, I updated my sheet appropriately.
-
Sounds good, I just wanted to make sure. Let's move this back into In Character
-
Noted, thanks. Yeah, just go ahead and describe the place and we'll start the legwork scene.
-
@Vegas
I updated my initial place holder for geared carried.
-
Few questions sorry might not be necessary just wanted to know
1. Is there a closed gate? if so is it locked?
2. Is there another exit for the cars?
3. Does the fence go all the way to the water?
4. Is there any tall structures in the area near the fence?
5. How close is the fence to the buildings?
6. How close are the buildings?
-
I'm ordering my deck this way and my gear lineup for the op is as follows.
Equipment as indicated in my profile minusmicro transceiver, periscope camera, and advanced medkit 4 (that's lives in the truck).
Weapons :
Ares Predator V w/ Silencer, Internal Smartgun
3X SnS
3xAPDS
FN P93 Praetor w/ Foregrip, Silemcer, Internal Smartgun, Folding Stock
3x APDS
3X Norml Ammo Taped one to the other for ease of reload.
1X C/S grenade
3X High Ex grenade
3X Flash Bangs (in deference to those who want to leave potential assassins in our wake.) ::)
I've set my Deck to At: Slz Pro FW
5 5 3 6 with the Sneak, Stealth, and Baby Monitor Apps on deck.
-
Hey how is karma working? i figure Terrane eventually wants to branch in heavy weapons i like the idea of a krime bomb hehe.
-
Between the 'Player Guide' and the 'Calendar' wiki posts in the StS Obsidian Portal, you should be able to suss out how much Karma you'll be getting.
The actual runs will net Karma at a rate of 3-6. As this is an extended campaign, I figure that should be a reasonable amount of karma to get realistic advancement.
-
okay thanks, just figured eventually ill pick that skill up might be interesting im looking forward to it lol
-
The fennec goes to the water raised edge of the pier, sticking out over the edge a little. There's one gate in the center, big enough for three cars at once. The fence is about 10 meters from the buildings which are about fifteen meters apart. About twenty meters in either direction are identical complexes, while across the street are wharehouse sets very simaler.
-
Awesome thanks! Now are there any personnel outside, or in the vehicles that i can see?
I believe calico was also looking for auras or spirits/
-
If the vehicles are occupied you can't tell from here. There are two guys smoking outside the personnel door, with the roll up doors closed to the left of them. Neither look magical.
-
So any idea what to do guys ive been quite waiting for more ic stuff to react to but nothing has happened.
-
Sorry I was busy moving my home. I agree though with your sentiment I figured we were waiting for Gespenst to post and get a little more feed back on time frame. But I am loath to post for someone else. so I'll try to move it forward another way. ;D
-
Sneaking +edge for 14 dice I have no idea what to roll for the rest of it though.
-
When VegasRigged agree to do this, he had a lot more spare time, but (happily for him) he recently just got hired to a job and his time is severely curtailed. He wanted to take a week tosee how much time he's have for this, but it looks like he really just doesn't. Give me a day to look everything over and then I'll probably take it on and we'll get this party moving.
-
sneaking is agi plus any mods...okay jayde was just wondering thanks
-
So Sneaking of 3 + Agility of 5 + use one of edge 6 = 14 right
-
yes. Also, if you are 'pre-edging' like this, any 6s you get become additional dice as well as hits.
And VegasRigged said he was waiting for the decker, so he's still on.
-
wondering if my elemental strike(Electricity) would be applicable with my horns because it could be an "unarmed" attack technically seeing as how i was born with them. and it seems they can't be a weapon foci,ill await your ruling
-
I rule in favor for adventures that I'm running, if for no other reason then because lightning arcing between horns looks awesome.
-
Sneak check diced pool of 8
-
I'll attempt to sneak up and when the spell is active charge the first one after activating elemental strike on my horns
Sneak: 3d6t5: 1 [3d6t5=2, 6, 1] (Four Agi no sneak skill so 3 dice total)
Initiative: 11+4d6: 17 [4d6=1, 3, 1, 1]
Charging Attack: 12d6t5: 6 [12d6t5=4, 5, 1, 3, 6, 2, 6, 4, 5, 3, 5, 5]
Exotic Melee Weapon(horns) 6(Charging)(Agi-4) (12dice)
DV(str+2) (-1Ap) (11p) plus net hits for dv damn good i think
Defense Test:8d6t5: 3 [8d6t5=4, 3, 4, 2, 6, 6, 6, 2] Rea(6)Int(2)
Damage resistance: 19d6t5: 7 [19d6t5=5, 4, 1, 2, 1, 6, 3, 5, 3, 4, 1, 1, 5, 5, 2, 5, 2, 4, 5]
11 armor 8 body(19 dice)
-
Looks like div's gone silent I'm not sure what hes capable of. Could we have him cast his spell with calico so we can move on.
-
Once they're charmed and open the gate, give me a moment (one post) to speak with them before attacking.
-
will do
-
Div Focuses and after a moment one of the guard steps away from his lean on the warehouse and walks towards the gate. His friend follows him and they walk up to the gate. As the second turns away to light a smoke the first enters a combination on a keypad and the gate begins to open. Both are now standing by the gate. Roll initiative.
-
http://orokos.com/roll/298278 of 2 + 8 + whatever Calico has given me
-
Ok, hold off attacking for a second, I want to get that sound barrier up and hopefully get them pointed away from you guys so you can hopefully get surprise on them
-
@vegas
So I think Calico is having you handle her rolling plus the two are no longer hear. SO if you can tell us what our order is we can act appropriately. Unless you have another way you wanted to handle combat in which case just say the word.
-
What he said
-
waiting game
-
Sorry guys, I'll post properly when inget home.
-
Two guys are by the gate, about a meter apart inside the silence bubble, both are going for guns.
Calico has eleven init, everyone else roll it.
-
Are they looking at me while they're going for the guns?
-
One of them is but the other is looking back outside the fence. They know something just went very wrong.
-
Terran got 17 for initiative mentioned in OOC post #65. Angus has rolled 10 base as mentioned in OOC post #70 with the stipend that in addition to that there is possibly a bonus from calicos spell in IC post #80 which she wishes you to roll.
So currently we have initiatives at:
Terran 17
Callico 11
Angus 10+spell?
The other member are AWOL so its up to you I believe to decide their fate.
DOes that sound right
-
Should be 22 dice w/exploding 6s on that Inc Reflexes spell. And 20+expl 6s on my combat sense.
-
So seven hits on improved reflexes means four extra dice and +8 strait.
Calico isn't surprised and quickly notes that both of the guards seem to have picked up on the 'something is happening and she's involved'
In other words, one guy beat your seduction role, called for help and his comm getting bricked tipped them both off to an attack.
So angus goes on 31, he's first.
Div does on 20
Terran on 17
Calico on 11
Guards on 11 with less edge.
Gespenst has done his part.
-
Can you or Jayde share Div's char sheet, since it looks as though he may not be back? Unless you're going to post for him…
Also guys don't forget we want to take these two down without alerting anyone else, so either silenced weapons, or get inside the bubble to get loud :)
-
Looks like i go Third well I'll Activate my Elemental strike on my horns and charge at the Chum who just got his link bricked
Agi-4+Horns-6(charging) prespending edge adds four dice i count 16 dice with exploding sixes DV 10p Ap-1 (Electric)
16d6t5: 5 [16d6t5=5, 6, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 5, 3, 5, 4, 6, 4, 3]2d6t5: 1 [2d6t5=1, 5]
6 hits i think that could hurt
-
Angus makes a brain buster attack 14 + 6 for edge. http://orokos.com/roll/300446 + http://orokos.com/roll/300444 for 7 hits.
12 base dmg
-7 armour
-
Angus (who I assume is in the silence effect) fires off at one of the goons and drops him like a sack.
Div whips a stun spell at the second guy who takes it hard.
Tarace hits the second head down and lands a grazing blow (1 net hit) for a solid bit of hurt, knocking him out but not killing him.
-
Correct, I wrote that bit in the In character log. would you like me to include that here as well? Wouldn't be a problem.
Also I noticed you mention a few bits here in the OOC that could probably go over in the IC part. For our parts would you like us to translate them over as we would see them playing out?
-
i just realized i did my initiative wrong on oro lol ooops
-
@Vegas
Based on what I saw before, should I be able to slip inside this door (the one the goons were guarding) and have a reasonable expectation of being able to hide, or is it in plain view of where those guys were sitting playing cards?
-
It would be tough to slip in unnoticed. Going around as a bird or using the underside of the building might be easier. Also, is anyone else taking action or are you guys just waiting for the boats to arrive?
-
I updated my last post to move to a defensive position behind cars. I will hide with 3 hits http://orokos.com/roll/302462
Other then that though, no Angus will wait.
@calico I think he already mentioned that the were few cameras post 100 in IC thread "Your Decker comes out of VR and informs you that the area is light on recording equipment, the only cameras being external and routing to a terminal inside."
Just an FYI I will be down till Sunday. It is my Batcholor party :) nerd games and drinking. But you shouldn't wait on me. I'll enter probably through the door or if its open the loading ramp. Angus would use a Neuro-Stun VIII gas grenade on the highest concentration of enemies not close to teammates first. I could use a frag or HE grenade if you guys prefer, i was just thinking or noise control. But the clip should be switched before we engage. I would use my gun to attack two individuals by splitting the attack and using an edge to re-roll misses, trying to spread the dmg. dont know if that sounds like a good stratagie but its what i thought would work. feel free to suggest a different route. The pertinent info is below. Other wise i shall return.
Initiative 8 +1d6 and calicos boost which is apparently +20 maybe its variable i don't know how your spell works.
grenade 11d6 Neuro-Stun VIII str 15 speed 1 cmb turn disorientation and stun dmg, HE 16p -2/m -2 arm, frag 18p -1/m +5 arm
Normal FA attack 14d6 10 dmg -5 def -7 arm recoil comp or 7 double all uncompensated recoil
Def 8d6
Arm 24d6
Hope that helps
-
Yeah, thanks, helps a lot. Have a good party!
So as it stands now the first boat is about to pull in, you guys are outside holding the lot with one corpse and one knocked out guy. No camaras on you, nor any sign that you've been detected. Are you waiting for the other boat? Are you going to hide in the mean time?
-
I'm also out until tomorrow (had 5 mins to post), but I also hide and wait
-
well since everyone else is hiding terrane will too
-
I'll hide and wait for the second boat. Unless, of coarse, we find out that they are prepping to leave with the first truck then we may have to find another coarse.
-
Calico Init 12
-
Angus should have 34
http://orokos.com/roll/303903
5+8+21
roll + Initiative + Calicos Increased reflexes
-
I think he said it adds 8+4d6 to whatever your regular init roll is. The 4d6 gets rolled every time so it should be 8+8+5d6
-
i knew i should have spent edge on that roll im a big friggin minotaur
11+4d6: 25 [4d6=6, 4, 3, 1]
but ill activate my stun horns and charge the guy i guess
12d6t5: 7 [12d6t5=5, 5, 3, 6, 6, 2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 5, 6]
ranged def
8d6t5: 4 [8d6t5=5, 3, 5, 3, 5, 5, 4, 1]
-
Alright then its 8+http://orokos.com/roll/304082
an initiative of 40 then
and yes you are a big frggin minotuar and its amaizing
-
i love the stun horns they make my life! electric damage for the win cuz if i beat him in init then as long as i grazing hit his init is reduced by five lol
-
I can see the arcs rising up your horns. pretty awesome imagery.
-
So correction, the guy at the door saw you but failed his surprise check and therefore doesn't have an action this pass, meaning he hasn't shouted.
Also, all you guys should roll Surprise as well, that's reaction+intuition, looking for three hits or you lose your first turn.
OK so 40 is first, Agleaca, what you doin?
Then we'll have a guy, who will do a thing.
Then Zeth at 25
Then Gespenst at 19 made surprise check
Then Guy at 15
Then Calico at 12 failed surprise check
Then Div at 9 failed surprise check
-
Did you forget my combat sense? That adds to surprise checks as well ....
-
rea-6 int-2
8d6t5: 5 [8d6t5=5, 5, 2, 2, 6, 3, 6, 5]
-
Three hits and up means your not surprised.
Combat sense is a bonus on dodge and allows a perception to see if you get a surprise check, it doesn't actually add to your surprise check, Danger Sense does. Unless they Erreta'd the two together, I might have an older book.
-
Sounds like you're looking at the adept ability. Look at the spell, which I do have up. They should have made them do the same thing, it's confusing to have two things with the same name do slightly different things
-
if i some how get an action before the dude is taken out i'll stun gore him with a charge, and give him a shock! hehe puns
12d6t5: 5 [12d6t5=2, 4, 3, 3, 1, 3, 5, 5, 2, 5, 5, 6] 10p electric!
-
Well caught, Calico is not surprised and running six hits on that Combat Sense. However, you are now sustaining 4 spells at once, so you'll be at minus 8 for any action you take during your turn. I believe dropping a spell is a simple action, but don't quote me on that.
-
:) ..... I actually have 5 going, but should be only -3. Allow me to break it down:
Psyche* makes it -1 per sustained spell
Combat sense (focused concentration, -0)
Increased reflexes on Angus, sustaining focus. -0
Armor -1
Sound barrier -1
Phantasm -1
Everything I can find on the internet says dropping a spell is a free action, but I can't find it in the rulebook. So I'll defer to your judgment on that one.
*Psyche also gives +1 int, which means my total dodge/surprise dice is 18 at the moment (5+1 int, 5 rea, combat sense 7 (6 spell, 1 adept)). Just so you have that number handy.
-
http://orokos.com/roll/304492
so 4 hits meaning I pass my suprise tests
I make sure Im in the silence spell range and fire into the guy so... http://orokos.com/roll/304494
Two hits
the guy at the door also gets -5 defense for it being full auto
-7 Armour for adps and Stoner-Ares M202
10 DMG
-
Thanks for the breakdown, I'm not used to playing magic characters. Bright side, I'm learning a lot.
So Angus charges forward and hit the guard for two net hits since he's surprised and gets no defense roll.
Ouch, details in IC thread but he's prone, maybe dead.
Alas, the force 1 sound barrier isn't enough to keep the noise down, everyone hears the gunshots.
A guy does a thing.
Following up, Tarrane rushes forward and finishes the job.
Gespenst swears in german and starts trying to hack the other boat.
One guard down, four still inside. Two of them find cover and whip up their new weapons to fire busts at Tarrane.
Roll to dodge two bursts, so minus two each, and the second minus three.
Calico is up.
-
It was actually a F5 sound barrier, buuuut .... since it wouldn't matter anyway I'll do the stuff I'm about to post in IC

While she writes quick questions. What is the lay out of the boats. More specifically is the helm open or closed off from the environment? Could I shoot (if i had a clear shot) the person piloting the second boat, or failing line of sight on the captain shoot something threw an open door or window such as a grenade? If so what range? I don't really need to know until my turn.
-
You only rolled one hit on the spell casting of Sound Barrier.
The new Illusion springs into life!
The other boat is still a ways out, you know its there but to get a clear idea of what's where you'll need to spend a complex action to observe in detail. Given the nearer boat, however, you suspect the helm is in a three walled cabin about two thirds back. The boat itself looks mostly like this (http://glacierparkboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/sport-fishing-boat-outboard-center-console-boat-triple-engine-cabin-t-top-21024-418637.jpg).
Div is surprised so we go back to the top.
-
I thought we heard the other boat pulling in? Post 144 in IC? If both boats aren't here yet, can I change my illusion? I'm afraid that banshee will scare it off
-
The second boat was well within earshot and is making it's approach to the building when shots were fired, its mostly a matter of darkness that requires observe in detail. You can change your illusion or move it out behind the other boat.
-
Good deal, thank you. Changing original post now. Also, how do you rule on dropping spells? Free or simple?
-
My rea is a 6 int is 2 can you roll for me? On my phone
-
Hey, I'm back. Long story short, I wasn't getting email updates about the posts people were making in addition to some life struggles. Sorry for not being here. I'm here now and all caught up. Only one question, how many obvious guards on the other side are currently staring at Terrane. If I counted correctly, 2?
-
If its a matter of darkness wouldn't my tomographic vision work around that?
At least for identifying people on board and accurately targeting them.
Also to note observe in detail is a simple action, at least that's what i just read. is it different somewhere else?
-
I'll describe my plan and you can write up what actually happens.
I would like to shoot at the cabin with a grenade launcher ranges 5-50, 50-100, 100-150, 150-500
What i like to do is move to the door, (hopefully i can see around the others if not i would try to move through the door and find a somewhat defensive location running if necessary) I would then take aim at the boat cabin area ( takeing advantage of my image magnification, smart gun, and thermographic vision), fire my grenade launcher at said cabin(gas grenade of nerostun VIII).
Failing that I would look for the highest concentration of enemies. if they are all far apart I'll aim and shoot at one (they should all still be surprise right? or is that just the first initiative pass?) if there is a group of 3 or more in say a ten meter radius of one another ( hopefully a radius that does not include us) I would fire a gas grenade so as to get the most enemies without hitting us... sorry tarren i could not if you so ask it of me and we could just take the punches.
Since i don't know all the mods that would be in place I ask that you roll for me.They are as follows.
grenade launcher, nerostun VIII 11d6 radius of effect 10m inhalant/contact toxin pwr 15, effect disorientation, and stun dmg
Possible modifiers range, image magnification, thermographc vision, running, taking aim. I don't know if smart gun would work for it as it is an under-barrel attachment.
If i would fail the test i would use edge to re-roll misses
Normal gun fire
14d6, -5 def, -7 arm
possible mods, running, smart gun, taking aim, concealment
as long as i take aim that counts as a simple action and resets recoil right?
I think that cover's it if i missed anything please tell me other wise i look forward to the results.
-
BY the way good to hear from you again schen
-
Good to be back
-
well every one went quite at once
-
Yea I'm cool with waiting for my next IP if you're trying to figure that out.
-
nope i just posted mine... see above
-
So I rolled your perception with modifiers from distance, fog and darkness, the last one mitigated by thermographic. You got two hits, which is enough to see the boat but not enough to pick out anything specific on it. You can try to blind-fire at something specific you suspect to be there based on the other boat in front of you, but that will be at a penalty.
-
I'm fine with that ill use an edge to to boost it by six dice then
-
You fire your launcher at the shape in the water, the sound of breaking glass greets you, and a moment later a light comes on and you can see the boats driver scrambling to grab the grenade.
As you look on satisfied, the boat rises on a massive wave and flies towards the docks. It's going to crash and its aimed at the door where you all stands.
Also, everyone give me logic plus will, Calico, any bonus?
-
Just the psyche, which gives +1 to int, log and mental limit
-
http://orokos.com/roll/307152
so one hit :(
-
oof... 1 hit also on the Log+WP
http://orokos.com/roll/307244
9d6t5: 1 [9d6t5=1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 1, 1, 4, 3]
-
You've all been hit with a force six Forboding spell.
Calico got three hits so minus three on all major rolls
Div and Angus are minus five
Still waiting on Tarrane
and Gespents is out of range
Tarrane is up next.
-
5d6t5: 2 [5d6t5=5, 4, 2, 5, 1]
that means -4 to all actions probably, so get to fullcover And wait mostly because im unsure what else to do
-
Tarrane takes cover.
Gespenst informs all that he's moving in to provide fire support, their being very little to do in the matrix.
All of the Guards are now alert. They Jump the their feet and take cover near the first boat, out of the way of the second headed into the second docking bay. All open fire.
Angus, dodge three attacks at a minus one each, the first two are minus two for short burst, the last one is minus five for a long burst.
Anyone in the doorway is now suppressed. Either use a free action or 5 init to go prone or try to dodge the attacks
-
I wasn't so much in the doorway as using it for cover, so I'll duck back behind it. If that's not sufficient, I'll drop prone.
-
first 6d6 http://orokos.com/roll/308754 no hits
second 5d6 http://orokos.com/roll/308756 2 hits
third 1d6 http://orokos.com/roll/308758 1 hit
i think that would be how it works out 8d6 normally -2 on first -3 for second and -7 for last. I don't know if foreboding effects that or not if it does then only the first roll gets a roll which ends up being
http://orokos.com/roll/308760 no hits
-
so i asked someone else and it turns out yes the spell does so then i got no hits they all hit
i just need to know what the armor penetration is. and ill roll away.
Ill need to know that and the dmg so i can roll dice and judge whether i take cover or not.
-
That's 4 net, 5 net and 2 net against you. Weapons are 8p no AP so resist 12, 13 and 10.
-
12 hit for the first http://orokos.com/roll/309584 no dmg
7 hits on the initial roll http://orokos.com/roll/309585 use an edge to reroll misses 6 more hits http://orokos.com/roll/309588 total 13 soak no dmg
finally 5 hits on the initial http://orokos.com/roll/309589 reroll missis with edge http://orokos.com/roll/309590 with 7 mor hits 12 soak no dmg
Cant keep doing that but hopefully i wont have to
I take -5 to my initiativ and drop prone hopefully in a way not to get in every ones else's way
-
Very nice.
Calico gets an action then we are back to the top of the third pass.
Right now Calico and Tarrane are in cover by the door being suppressed, Div is outside ready to jump in next turn, Gespenst is moving up, Angus is about two meters inside, prone and in partial cover. Three Troll Illusions are marching through carrying crates and drawing some fire from the Gangsters.
The five Gangsters are in cover four meters from the door to the right. Theirs a pane of glass cutting off an office behind them from view, which is where you suspect the mage is hiding.
-
So is dropping sustained spells a free or simple action? If it's free, then I've already dropped the "guys looking into the trunk" phantasm, and I can drop the sound barrier and still do something else. If it's simple, then I will drop the aforementioned phantasm as well as the sound barrier and I guess that will be it
Also, would I be able to peek around the corner and cast a spell without being subject to having to dodge three dozen bullets?
-
so that's what the water spirit was for. Good water spirit :)
Waiting of coarse for calico's pass to be resolved, my initiative should be 15 now at the start of the next pass am I still at top or is it the other guy between Terran and I.
barring any huge changes I fire at the guy using suppressing fire, if there is I may change my mind.
base dice pool 14d6 take aim +1 and +1 for smart gun so 16d6 -5 for forboding. 11d6
http://orokos.com/roll/309765 6 hits
-5 defense dice for full auto probably +2 for partial cover so net -3 defense
base dmg is 10p with -7 armor penetration..
-
You can drop a spell as a free action.
You can see into the room where Angus is crouching, but if you try to stick your head around for a look at the shooters then you will have to evade their suppression.
-
Then I will drop the sound barrier and move out of the spells's area of effect, making sure to keep the wall between me and the bullets. Then I'll summon a force 4 spirit of beasts. A cat, naturally. I'm thinking a small panther.
-
You got five hits, it got one. Drain resisted.
-
Oh, optional power will be confusion
-
Next up is Angus, then the other guy, then Tarrane and Angus again.
Then we will need new init from all.
-
I fire at the guy using suppressing fire,
base dice pool 14d6 take aim +1 and +1 for smart gun so 16d6 -5 for forboding. 11d6
http://orokos.com/roll/309765 6 hits
-5 defense dice for full auto probably +2 for partial cover so net -3 defense
base dmg is 10p with -7 armor penetration..
-
4 net, so 14 damage -7 ap. Ouch, Dude takes 9 physical.
The guy does a thing.
Tarrane, then Angus then new pass.
-
So I think its safe to say tarren trys to charge a guy and attack them.
-
Sorry all, RL has been a drag recently, I'll try to be more consistent here.
Tarrane comes around the door and charges through the suppression taking three stun.
He hits and kills the thug suppressing the door, meaning suppression is now over.
Angus then New init turn.
-
I do effectively the same thing. I fire at another guy http://orokos.com/roll/315668 so one hit.
-5 defense dice for full auto probably +2 for partial cover so net -3 defense
base dmg is 10p with -7 armor penetration..
for the next initiative pass http://orokos.com/roll/315669 so 23
-
Defender wins on a tie.
At this point I will be passing GM dutties over to Jayde Moon, good luck chummers!
-
As a reminder Jayde, I'm deferring all dice rolls to you
-
Alright, I am not exactly sure where everybody is at, I tried to familiarize myself with the situation.
So we're going to start a new initiative round... probably not the best thing to do, but it gets me on track. If you had any actions left this round, add 10 to your initiative (but not 20 or 30) as a compromise to account for them.
The way we're going to work this:
In the OOC, give me the run down of what you are doing, the crunch, etc. Give me the rooks dice roll link (or remind me to roll for you.
If you're actions are predicated by what someone ahead of you is doing, feel free to add in 'if-then-else' statements (if you don't know what that means, ask!).
When I get on, I'll adjudicate in the OOC what happens. As your actions get adjudicated in the OOC, I want you to make an IC post with a narrative of your action, feel free to narrate other responses if it makes sense (i.e., if you shot someone and I say it knocked them down, feel free to describe where the bullets hit, how they fell, etc).
The ICs posts should sort of wait till the OOCs get adjudicated, but if we get to waiting on someone, I will happily post for them so the next person can post. On enemy turns I will make posts.
So, let's get your initiative rolls.
-
Bonus, we were already exactly where you're starting: at a new initiative turn. As I said, I'm defering all rolls to you, but I am at the doorway, having just summoned a F4 panther spirit (beast). I'm under the influence of Psyche, and I have the following spells sustained:
Inc reflexes on Angus (8 hits) sustained by focus
Combat sense (? Hits, 20 dice, pre-edged) sustained by focused conc
Armor (? Hits, 20 dice, preedged)
Phantasm of 3 trolls in heavy battle armor "stealing" crates (F5)
-
on to the next initiative pass http://orokos.com/roll/315669
so 23
-
No, Angus as long as my spell is active your initiative will be 8+8+5d6
-
then it would be 16+12 so 28. thanks
-
OK, I'm going to give anybody else till Monday to chime in that they are still with us... then we'll get moving.
-
sigh... Last initiative roll I got. 9, got surprised and missed turn.
This initiative roll, I got an 8.
http://orokos.com/roll/317234
-
at least your not surprised. :)
Just make that turn rock.
-
Initiative:
28 Angus
27 Water Spirit
25 Mage
23 Terrane
17 Gespenst
16 Triad Goons
15 Spirit of Beast
14 Calico
08 Div
Agleaca is up.
-
Angus stands up moves so he is under the window so if there is a wizard inside he cant see me. This also should move me hopefully out of the range of the foreboding spell. I assume the wizard would try not to effect his comrades. Hopefully that can be done in under 10 meters. Then Angus will fire at one of the individuals still standing. the one that was suppressing fire died. I don't know what happened to the last one I fired at hopefully i hit but probably not. Ill fire at one of the other guys that should now have no cover as i think i'm behind them.
so 14d6 if i'm not in the spell http://orokos.com/roll/317757 .... so 6 hits
if im still in the spell then 9d6 http://orokos.com/roll/317758 ... 1 hit
-5 def -7 arm 10dmg
something also to note at the end of this combat turn anyone within in the cabin of the boat or that were 4m from the cabin of the boat last turn will be dealing with nerostun effects.
-
@ Calico
Combat Sense: 5 Hits
Armor: 14 Hits :o
@ Angus
You are still under the effects of the Foreboding Spell. The AoE determines who is caught in it, buttons you are in it, you are under the effects, you are under the effects. You move 10 meters of your movement to get to the point.
Firing your machine gun, the goons sort of roll out of the way. One of the bullets actually pings off the ground at Terrane's feet.
Alright, in the IC Narrative, go ahead and roll up your actions and the results into an IC post.
@ All
The Mage:
Seeing as how there is a group of folks all clustered at the doorway, he extends a hand and a ball of electricity flies in your direction.
It is the beginning of the combat round, so everyone has their full movement left. You may deduct 5 from your initiative to take an interrupt action and run for your lives, either further inside or outside. Or you can hope that he didn't get the successes he needs to put it where he wants it. Or you can tank it.
I'll hold off on his success or failure till Ihear back from schenn and trv on their response.
-
Divillian will Run for life - inside; to cover if possible
-
Alright, I'm posting the IC for Angus, as well as resolved the actions for the Mage.
Divilian runs for his life inside.
Gespenst runs for his life outside.
Calico feels confident in her armor spell and grits her teeth at the most.
Unfortunately, that hits her and does 2 Physical and subtracts 5 from her Initiative and -1 to all dicepools the remainder of this round.
It is Terrane's turn. In about 24 hours I'll check and if he hasn't gone, I'll post his next action. And so on!
28 Angus - 1st Pass
27 Water Spirit - 1st Pass
25 Mage - 1st Pass
23 Terrane
17 Gespenst
16 Triad Goons
15 Spirit of Beast
09 Calico 2 Phys, -1 Dice Pools this round
08 Div
Edit: All damage to Calico was Stun
-
Calico will also flee, also inside looking for cover, but making a point to not be close to Div. she may also choose to counterspell, let me know when that's appropriate.
Crap .... missed it by 2 mins
But wouldn't that damage be stun? I thought if the DV was less than armor (14+9-ap) then it was stun ... am I missing something?
-
Don't worry, I made you look like a badass.
-
You kinda did. :)
-
Terrane, stands, the guy he gored slipping off his horns. He draws a Ruger Superwarhawk and attempts to plug the guy next to him.
With 6 Hits to the Defender's 3 Hits, he scores! An abysmal soak roll puts that guy right down.
----
Gespenst does something on his end.
----
Goons:
The main attraction here is Terrane, and both remaining goons unload fully into him.
Full Auto: 1st attack 2 Hits, 2d Attack 5 Hits
Defense:Terrane gets no Defense at -9 to Defense.
DV 8 and DV 11 which gets reduced to 4 Stun and a spent point of Edge to take 1 Stun
Total 5 Stun
----
Spirit of Beast: Holding action pending Calico's instruction (or reminder of instruction)
----
Action to Calico!
-
Calico instructs the beast spirit to "kill the mage". She then begins heading for where the mage is camped out.
-
trv, go ahead and make an IC post describing Calico's actions. Does she speak out loud to the spirit or is it telepathic? Does the spirit not in understanding, roar, or whatever. It is not currently materialized, so it will need to materialize before it does anything else, and that will happen off camera, so don't worry about posting it that part.
Then where inside does she run, straight through (past Terrane and remaining goons) or does she skirt around? She can make it 2/3 straight through or 1/3 skirting around.
Also, you were right re: stun damage. Changed in my notes.
schenn, go ahead and post up your OOC of Divilian's actions this round :)
-
Sooo ... I'm leaving monday for Burning Man, be gone for like 3 weeks. There is essentially no internet out there, so I won't be able to post at all until I get back around the middle of September.
-
Have a great time! Look out for the bugs! (http://gizmodo.com/weve-identified-those-bugs-infesting-burning-man-and-1725287661)
-
Divillian casts a force 6 deflection on Terrane.
http://orokos.com/roll/318896 (http://orokos.com/roll/318896) 4 hits
edit: forgot drain http://orokos.com/roll/318911 (http://orokos.com/roll/318911) 4 hits = 1 drain
and asks Gespent to help him find an alternate entrance nearby.
-
On angus's turn he drops his magazine for the grenade launcher, as a standard action then fires a barrage at the goon farthest away from tarren.
http://orokos.com/roll/319279 so two hits
with the usual stats
-5 def -7 arm 10dmg
-
schenn, feel free to narrate that action for Div into the IC post as you see fit.
Agleaca - Angus hits! Not only does he hit, but the goon glitches (non-critical)!
That guy is dead (just from the shooting, not the glitching)
As he is shot, the impact pushes him into one of his partners, which will force that goon to extricate himself from his dead friend before he can act again.
Go ahead and narrate that as you like into the IC Post. It can be before or after Div's post, since his isn't time sensitive compared to yours.
-
18 Angus
17 Water Spirit
15 Mage
13 Terrane 5 Stun, +4 Defense Pool
06 Triad Goons
05 Spirit of Beast
02 Gespenst
00 Calico 2 Stun, -1 Dice Pools this round, +14 Armor, +5 Defense
00 Div 1 Stun, -2 Dice Pools (Sustaining Spell)
Angus has already gone.
The Water Spirit pours into the room, as the mage does... no one knows.
But the Water Spirit is able to move in without using an action, so now it takes a complex action to... Bind Terrane.
Terrane spends his action attempting to break free but does not as the ice thickens.
One of the goons, notices Calico and tries to shoot at her with his Machine Pistol.
He scores 5 Hits on a short burst.
Calico rolls R + I + Combat Sense - Multiple Bullets - 1 to Dic Pool Actions
5 + 5 + 5 - 5 - 5 = 9
She gets 4 hits.
11 DV mitigated by 24 Soak Dice for 7 hits... that will be 4 points of stun. Did she want to use edge to reroll misses?
The other goon extricates himself from under his partner but that took his whole action.
The Beast Spirit materialized behind the mage last turn and now attacks.
Gespenst does something in the matrix.
Calico and Divilian are out of passes.
-
Two posts, this is for current passes, look up one to see all the OOC for last pass.
08 Angus
07 Water Spirit
05 Mage
03 Terrane 5 Stun, +4 Defense Pool, Bound by Water Elemental
00 Triad Goons
00 Spirit of Beast
00 Gespenst
00 Calico 6 Stun, -1 Dice Pools this round from shocked, -2 Dice Pools from Wounds, +14 Armor, +5 Defense
00 Div 1 Stun, -2 Dice Pools (Sustaining Spell)
Agleaca: Action to Angus
Others: Even if you are without a pass, you can post thoughts, reactions, etc, as long as they don't count as 'actions'. For RP purposes.
-
well it's a good thing Terrane has the magical deflection and still gets 4 dodge dice :D
-
First Angus loads a high explosive grenade clip into the launcher on Lilith then continues trying to mow down goons.
Firing at the one that just shot Calico http://orokos.com/roll/319667 for 3 hits this time.
To note again at the end of this round the individuals in the boat cabin need to deal with the nero stun dmg.
-
Even using a point of edge, the guy isn't able to get out of the way and instead eats led on the spot.
Go ahead and post that in the IC as you wish.
Meanwhile, the Water Elemental turns to Angus and unleashes a torrent of freezing slush at him.
Give me a defense roll for Angus to roll out of the way.
-
Define eats lead did he drop or is he just wounded.
Angus defense is 3d6 http://orokos.com/roll/319932 with 1 hit
if that's not enough to dodge do i get armor against it i have cold protection
just in case here is the roll http://orokos.com/roll/319936 with 4 hits wow bad roll
i could always use my last edge if need be just need to know if its necessary.
-
Eats lead is just that! He cold be dead, he could be wounded. But he did fall to the ground!
I don't tell you if it's necessary. Edge is used before knowing the results. It's pretty beefy spirit, do you want to use a point of edge to reroll your misses? You can also reroll the misses for your defense test to try to dodge it outright.
If you do get hit, then your Soak, counting off the last dice, you got 3 successes, so you have 11 that did not 'Hit'. Using a point of Edge will reroll this 11 Dice.
Get back to us on this soon-o!
-
I think ill reroll my soak then but it was 24 with 4 hits so it should be 20 that i reroll right?
http://orokos.com/roll/320217 so 10 more hits with a total soak of 14 then.
-
I have to drop the last 7 dice from your roll.
I had annotated that you needed to roll 11 dice. I didn't necessarily explain 'why', mostly to remove certain metaknowledge from your decision. That said, glad yo rolled more dice, so I could count those... because it's actually 13. And it's because of Armor Piercing. so 6 hits, plus the four from before is ten hits total.
Angus takes 6 points of Physical Damage from shocking cold ice and water blast.
Pretty sure that puts us at initiative, so let's get everyone's most recent initiative rolls.
-
Don't the Mage (05) and Terrane (03) get one more pass?
-
Yes, check the IC!
-
Divillian got 8 (7 + 1d6 - 2 for sustaining)
http://orokos.com/roll/320336
-
http://orokos.com/roll/320458 so 35
-
33 Angus 6 Physical
25 Terrane 5 Stun, +4 Defense Pool
25 Mage
25 Water Spirit
19 Gespenst
16 Calico 2 Stun, +5 Defense Pool, +14 Armor
15 Beast Spirit
09 Goons
08 Div
Agleaca, action to you!
-
Taking aim and fireing at the water spirit so 13-5-2+2=8 http://orokos.com/roll/322066 so 2 hits
-
Make an IC post detailing your action and the result:
Nearly every bullet slaps into the watery mass of the Spirit, but it doesn't look like it's slowing down a bit, or even registering the attack :( So however he wants to react to that...
-
Action to Calico.
-
Calico Pre-Edges a Clout Spell against the Water Spirit, casting it at Force 8. She gets 8 Successes.
The Spirit gets 6 Successes to Dodge. So it takes 10S -8AP, and for it's Soak, rolls 8 Dice, netting 3 Successes, so it takes 7 Damage.
Calico soaks drain with 11 Dice against 5P: only soaks 2, so she takes 3 Physical (ouch).
The Beast Spirit is fighting the Mage out of sight.
The remaining goon dashes towards a back door.
Action to Div. I'll give TRV a day to post the IC to the actions above.
-
Divilian attemps a Banishing of the Water Spirit.
Rolling 6 dice (Magic 6 + Banishing 2 -2 for Sustained Spell) he gets 1 hit. Spending a point of Edge to preroll the failures he gets 2 more hits.
Rolling 8 Dice for the Spirit nets 1 hit. That is enough to reduce the remaining services of the Spirit to 0.
Divilian resists 2P Drain easily.
I'll give schenn a day to make his IC post, if he wants.
Currently:
23 Angus 6 Physical
15 Terrane 5 Stun, 11 Physical, +4 Defense Pool
15 Mage ???
15 Water Spirit Will depart unless Calico spends a point of Edge to go first and tries to get it to serve her
09 Gespenst
06 Calico 2 Stun, 3 Physical, +5 Defense Pool, +14 Armor
05 Beast Spirit ???
00 Goons One left, he's at the door to the warehouse, probably about to escape
00 Div 1 Stun
Action to Angus. An honest action would be to continue trying to put down the Water Spirit, because you don't really have a way of knowing that it's going to go away. But 2 Hits on an Edge roll will satisfy the 'noticed something that leads you to believe it's leaving' without having to spend a full action 'Observing in Detail' to notice the same thing.
-
will do, lets see. http://orokos.com/roll/324350 for the edge roll so negative on noticing it. Ultimately i was going to shoot at the running away goon keep the witnesses accounted for and such. But you are right my creature has been insulted and would keep firing at the water spirit.
So for his action he drops his magazine in Lilith loads another and fires at the water spirit. http://orokos.com/roll/324351
14d6 - 5 for the foreboding spell -2 for physical damage = 7d6 same as the edge http://orokos.com/roll/324352 one hit.
-5 defense dice 10 dmg -7 armor
-
You hit it. Several bullets again slap into the Spirit and Angus feels like he actually did something to it, but not enough to disperse it entirely.
Feel free to make whatever IC post representing that that you want.
Terrane rolls from under the elemental and takes full cover behind boxes as he tries to recover his breath.
The Mage does something, and Calico can feel her connection to the Beast Spirit break. Also, the Foreboding spell is lifted.
The Water Elemental dematerializes.
Gespenst pokes his head around the corner and shoots at the goon making his way out the far door. He misses.
Calico is up.
-
Calico ducks behind a crate and takes a breathe to steady herself.
Currently:
13 Angus 6 Physical

-
soothing taking aim and shooting the goon so 14 normally - 2 for physical +1 for aiming so 13d6? http://orokos.com/roll/325412 wow 8 hits
10 dmg - 5 def -7 arm
-
Yeah, you can go ahead and describe that however you want, lol! And at the end of that he's going to be dead.
-
I'm back .... seems as though I'm waiting for a new init roll, correct me if I'm wrong.
-
correct should be pretty soon though
-
You wanna make that IC post, Agleaca?
-
We drop out of initiative.
Post op:
Angus has taken 6 Physical of battering/cold. Can be mended with first aid and/or healing magic. Also, unless Calico drops it, he still enjoys a bonus to his initiative.
Terrane has taken 5 Stun and 11 Physical, which can be mended with first aid and/or healing magic. Also, unless Div drops it, he still enjoys a +4 Defense Pool
Calico has taken 2 Stun and 3 Physical. This is all drain damage. +5 Defense Pool, +14 Armor, until she drops her sustained spells.
Gespenst is fine.
Div has taken 1 Stun. This is drain damage.
-
#1. I follow the mage in astral space, flying through him a bunch of times until he starts to astrally perceive/project and becomes dual natured.
#2. I cast Alter Memory (shadow spells pg. 20, Mana, Mental Manipulation) on the mage. Force 6; 9 hits, limit of 6. http://orokos.com/roll/327201
Duration - permanent, so I have to sustain it for 6 combat turns for it to sink in.
The 'every combat turn' resistance roll is instead every [force] months or whenever the target is shown believable evidence contrary to the memory.
#3. I resist drain, http://orokos.com/roll/327200 - I take 2 more stun, so I'm at 3 drain stun.
I'm going to change his memory to remove the warehouse attack and add the memory of leaving early due to the job getting done early.
Then, I'll immediately return to my body.
-
You find him after several moments and do just that.
He stiffens and kind of stumbles, indicating that the spell has taken hold.
How firmly, you don't really know......
-
Jayde, feel like just telling us who has the best first aid skill so we can go ahead and knock out these healing rolls? You know, just to speed things along? I can see how someone might want to be mysterious about a skill, but probably not that one.
-
Lol, none of you have First Aid. What a bunch of chumps!
Gepsenst has it at 1. He does it, but no one actually heals any boxes as a result.
-
lol. Anyone bring a medkit?
-
I see that Angus has one, rating 6. Can we just do what the autodoc says? Aren't there rules for just following the medkit's instructions? I thought it was just medkit rating x2. We'd want to just heal stun then physical, then after my turn I'll quickly make the rounds with force 6 heals for everyone who needs it, 17 dice -1 for sustained spells, hopefully not another -1 for my physical damage.
-
I took into account the MedKit. Gespenst with a MedKit is better MedKit by itself.
But he's still not that great.
-
Ok, so I heal everyone who needs it, F6, 15 dice (17-2)
-
Calico spends about 10 seconds healing Terrane's wounds, heals 7 points of physical damage and takes no drain. Then she spends about 6 seconds on Angus healing him of 4 Physical.
Angus: 2 Physical
Calico: 2 Stun, 3 Physical
Terrane: 5 Stun, 4 Physical
Dive: 1 Stun
Gespenst: A-OK.
We are in free text, so you guys can just open post about what you are doing.
I'm sorry I haven't been fully engaged this past week, in the middle of my move to Wichita, KS from Portland, OR and I've been House hunting.
-
What's the situation with all the "goods" we were sent to retrieve? Are they all already loaded in the trucks, are they all accounted for but scattered all over the place, are some missing, destroyed?
-
I figured you'd want to put in a little IC post about how the healing magic goes before I moved on to posting more GM narrative.
-
I am tracking that TRV, Angleaca, and schenn are still sort of with us?
Feel free to post for either Gespenst or Terrane.
-
I assume now we "discuss amongst ourselves" who the best two drivers are, and then we load up and head out. Jayde, care to expedite that by telling us who that is?
-
Lol, the two players who are definitely to around anymore, Gespenst and Terrane.
-
Ok, I'm just gonna arbitrarily divide up the people in the two trucks. If anybody who's here thinks it should be different, feel free to speak up. Don't know that it matters a whole lot.
-
I'm here sorry about that started a new job.I fine with loading in with gaspen
-
Alright, that ends the run.
Pay is 9,500¥
Karma is 6.
No Street Cred, Notoriety, or Public Awareness.
Mr. Johnson is unavailable as a contact (might change if you ever do another job for him).
Sorry for the starts and stops and the changeover of GM. For those of you who want to free-Roleplay in the IC thread,please do so. Looks like Terrane and Gespenst are out, so don't include them, but if Angus, Calico, and Div want to go get a beer or whatever and build up any sort of IC depth, feel free. When you guys are doe, I will roll up any RP and grant one or two additional points of Karma.
This run covers the first months of the campaign's PbP run. You also get a 'Milk Run' that you will earn 5 Karma for, which you can exchange to Nuyen at a 1 for 2000¥ rate (so 5 Karma 0¥, 4 Karma 2000¥, 3 Karma 4000¥, etc). If you write up the details of that milk run, you can earn up to 3 additional Karma (that should be posted on the Obsidian Portal (https://shaking-the-shadows.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log).
You will also have 14 days for personally finding gear, training skills or attributes, or 'Working for the Man' or 'Working of the People'. The last two take up 7 days and allow you to exchange Karma to Nuyen or vice versa at the same rateI just posted.
If you have any questions, ask them here. I'll get in touch with you guys when we're bout to start on month two, expect it to be in a few weeks.
Also, for Divilian and Angus, there is still time to write a short fiction worth up to 3 Karma points for Month 1. That opportunity will close 1 week prior to starting Month 2.
-
Ok Jayde, I would like to upgrade to a shitty apartment (low lifestyle), get a force 4 lodge there, learn two spells (magic fingers, levitate) and then initiate, edging whatever roll I would need to make for initiation.
-
I am also going to upgrade from "street" to "medium" lifestyle. A rural home in the Snohomish district of Seattle and increase my negotiation skill
http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Snohomish (http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Snohomish)
-
trv:
No edge for downtime actions.
To get a Low Lifestyle, you'll need a fake SIN to attach it to. This will require finding such a SIN, or paying one of your contacts 10% over base price to find it for you.
-
Ok, no edge then. In that case I'll also drop 2 karma to raise my arcana to 1. As for the SIN, do you still have the char sheet I sent you way back when? I looked at it, and I show a rating 1 fake SIN on there ...
-
No problem. Give me a name for that Fake SIN :)
In the meantime, for those stilll on board, month 2 will start on 8 November. 1 November is the last day to turn in a fiction for month 1. The write up for the 'milk run' should be done before November 8.
Look for the recruiting post later today and please do respond to it

FYI Jayde, I've decided that henceforth I should roll my own dice ... asking you to do it makes decisions on when to use edge cumbersome, plus other reasons. Anyway, here is my roll to initiate:
http://orokos.com/roll/337751
Boo. 1 hit. Well, here's my rolls to learn those two spells:
Magic Fingers: http://orokos.com/roll/337753 ... 7 (limit 4) hits
Levitate: http://orokos.com/roll/337755 ... 4 hits
-
For Calico: 2 days to find the Formulas you are looking for, 5 days to learn 2 spells, give you 7 days towards your 28 days to Initiate.
Spell Formulas cost you 3000 Nuyen. I rolled to see if Hank knew either spell, sadly he does not. However, Hank lets you use his Magic Lodge (Loyalty 6) so you on't have to find and purchase one of those.
For Agleaca/Angus: What are you wanting to improve in your two weeks of downtime?
Schenn, are you going to spend any karma/money in your two weeks of downtime? Or perhaps a work for the man/people?
-
No time for me I'm afraid, one week milk run, plus working for the man, and then of coarse the obligatory mob work equals taped out on time. I will however top of on the ammo i spent, and by three extra clips for Lilith and some gel rounds to fill it. In case the group wishes a non bloody ending. Ill work out the price on that. Mostly working to get the chrome i want latter.
I probably just do more mob work when working for the man and the milk run just not for free. You know the type full time mob employee.
oh and i will exchange all the karma gained in the milk run for monies
-
OK, I made the edits. You are topped off. I did the money maths. You have just over 27K. Not bad coming from 0 K at the beginning of the month. You also paid for another month of Low Lifestyle.
-
Sorry i havent posted are there any openings for terrane? i would like to pick up a claymore focus and bond it, im not sure if i have the karma though
-
Unfortunately, I don't have a place for Terrane, I have planned the stories out and have 6 runners in each one, 7 would be too many.
That doesn't mean Terrane is out, he just isn't taking part in any of the list runs this month. Feel free to participate on the Portal in the forums with IC posts... and keep an eye out for Month 3.
As for your expenditures, you are welcome to the same opportunities as the others.
That is to say you get a milk run for 5 Karma that you can exchange for nuyen at a 1 to 2000 rate. You can write up a story for the Milk Run for up to an additional 3 Karma (cannot transfer into Nuyen).
You can then take two week for whatever Terrane wants, such as bonding foci or training skills.
One of those weeks, you can 'Work for the Man' or 'Work for the People' and change either Karma to Nuyen or Nuyen to Karma at the same rate above, up to 5 points (this takes a week of time).
For month two you will be able to do this again, except you will have three weeks for whatever Terrane wants (still only one week can be working for the man/people).
This will allow your character to continue to advance somewhat through month 2 and then you can join us for month 3.
-
I spent 8 karma on improving my negotiation. I guess if I can't upgrade my lifestyle, than I'll need to get a rtg 3 fake sin instead through my fixer contact. Nevyn Salamander is the name for the SIN.
Sorry for the delay, this forum does not notify me reliably when there is a update to a post I'm following.
