We'll use this thread to coordinate dice rolls, clarifications, questions, etc.
Please use your first post to notate what you're actually carrying, of your gear, any active spells or effects, deck configurations, etc.
Thanks!

At Club Penmubra:
Redline is wearing an armor vest, concealed with a long-sleeved synth leather shirt and fabric top. She wears a metallic-silver skirt which has the effect of a disco ball, reflecting light in rainbows of colors. In one of her boots is a Streetline Special holdout loaded with a single magazine.
Her rigger console, a Remington Suppressor and an Ingram Smartgun X with six magazines of ammunition each are secured in a lockbox on the floor of her Toyota Gopher and covered with a grungy blanket.
Palming roll to sneak a Streetline Special Holdout past security.
6d6, 2 hits. http://orokos.com/roll/288079

Guardian spirit force 6. It's a possession tradition, so it will only ever be in physical space while possessing me or someone else. IE no physical stats, and all astral stats would be 6. 1 service left. When it does possess me, all of my physical stats are raised by 3 (except reaction which would max out at +4 I think)

I will be carrying rapier, and wearing a armor jacket that has been modified using the fashion spell to be low cut and bulging at the breasts.
I'll allow Danny or whoever the GM is to make the rolls for summoning a force 6 guardian spirit, and flying to and sneaking into the club Penumbra.

Let use those placeholders to put your equipped gear, and other stuff you have going on. This will be more important when this thread gets long, and I can just jump to the first page to check what you've got going on, rather than hunting through the thread. It'll get busy later on, believe me!
Alright:
Cherie: Summoning Roll: 4 Hits
Spirit Resistance Roll: 2 Hits
Resisting 4 Drain: 5 Hits = no Drain
2 Services. Assumption that 1 Service is used on concealment (assuming 1 of 2 optional powers is Concealment).
-
Actually I use my own concealment power as a pixie. I use the power of movement, and have the other one in reserve.
Did I manage to sneak in invisibly? Ie did I manage to sneak into the building using a side/ employee entrance or an upper floor window that was open etc? If not then I'll stash the rapier at the top of a tree or on a building ledge that is out of sight/reach of any windows.
Did I manage to sneak into the room unseen? If so I'll remain invisible for now.

Upon arrival at the club I check the local matrix for cops/spiders watching the club. Trying to determine if there is undue attention or risk of a trap. http://orokos.com/roll/288126
While listening to the music I look to find exits and set up personal ARO's for them. http://orokos.com/roll/288129
After greeting my fellow runners, I keep my ears open for possible trouble. (assume -2d for music distraction, +3d for Audio Enhancement) http://orokos.com/roll/288136

Watching Ms Johnson for signs of misinformation http://orokos.com/roll/288492
-
I will assense ms j. And wait until someone starts to negotiate, if it becomes clear that I will have to act as our face and do the negotiation, then I'll step forward, otherwise I'll be taking a wait and see approach.
As to the invisibility, I was planning on leaving all the rolls to you. If you prefer, I'll do them myself.
By the way how Does edge refresh in this setting?
-
Yes, you have 6 hits on invisibility. You do not assense anything about Ms. Johnson.
-
I've made my opening for negotiations, I could take the lead on it with my 8 dice, or if someone else is better at it, they can take the lead.
-
Missed this, went ahead with negotiation of 17, I'll ad your hits of you want to assist.
-
That was the plan
-
So how many hits do you have to assist?
-
2
-
Same result.
-
Cherie casts a force 6 sound barrier rolling 14 dice and can buy hits to resist drain.
-
As soon a so egotist ions are done, Cherie will call Manny to see if he has a set of Mage sight goggles she can buy immediately with her front money.
-
Mentally evaluating his fellow runners, Ravener decides that maybe he should keep a better eye on the impulsive seeming pixie. He uses Matrix Perception to see if he can locate her comlink (assuming it is on her). http://orokos.com/roll/288928
Assuming he finds it, he then assigns an ARO to keep track of it.
-
donwe get the money and location of our new ride as she leaves?
-
She is walking to the door. She has not given you any money or location to the vehicle, yet.
-
Since I am uneducated and don't have any skill in computers, I don't know if you'll require me to make a roll to turn my commlink on and call Hank to find out if he knows anything about or anyone at the said health facility. Like I said before once we have the money, I'll try to call Manny to see if he has Mage goggles on hand that I can drop by and pick up. If not, then I'll so that he put in an order for them.
If I do have to roll to turn the link on and make a call, and fail, I'll ask one of my teammates if anyone knows how to operate one of these confounded things, and can show me how to make it work.
-
How do the knowledge skills street rumor and corporate rumor work in this case? I have a dice pool of 12 and 8 respectively.
-
After talking I log into NeedleNet and send Blackout a message, "Heya. Just got a job helping out your boy Kingston. Could you send me a recent pic, just to make sure we don't get pulled into a bait and switch? Also, he have any weird med issues our medic should know about?". After sending the message I hop on the public and pull up the basic data on Health Point in Renton. I look specifically for public access, lists of doctors, general floorplans, visiting hours, and for who owns it.
-
He sent you his commcode. You can call it in the IC.
-
How do the knowledge skills street rumor and corporate rumor work in this case? I have a dice pool of 12 and 8 respectively.
There's two ways we can run this:
Both require that I know exactly what it is you want to know, so at least in the IC have her think to herself, Hunh, what have I heard about X, recently... or something.
Then:
1. She tries to remember: Roll the knowledge skill with a limit based on the hits on a memory check.
2. She actively tries to run down information: takes up some of your down time actions, but you can roll the skill outright, with added dice for any suitable contacts you might have.
-
Done. Is it specific enough? I have a memory pool of 12 d
Also I assumed that if I did have to roll to actually use the comm link, and failed, Tate I'd be able to keep doing it until I succeeded.
Let me know if I should ask the group to stop near Manny's to get the goggles. It's obviously up to you (or your rolls) whether or not he has a set laying around.
-
Sorry for not posting in a few days guys, had a busy weekend. I'll be back to responding daily tomorrow.
-
Is there any way for Redline to do a cursory check of the room for any hidden listening devices? I've got a rating 3 commlink but not sure what the applicable skill or gear would be.

@ Forest:
Memory Test for Street Rumors: 4 hits
Street Rumors Test: 3 Hits
You remember something about a run in Renton. A High Threat Response team was called out to a NeoNet HR office building. No one knew what the run was about, they were only talking about it because this kid calling himself 'Mace' almost got geeked by Knight Errant with an older runner taking the hit for him. The team got away, rumor has it that they completed the job, but an ambulance showed up to take away the bullet riddled body of the older runner. No one thought that the guy was gonna survive the night.
Memory Test for Corporate Rumors: 3 hits
Corporate Rumors Test: 3
Health Point is a 'teaching' hospital. A few residents, but mostly medical interns, both doctors and nurses. They are cheaper than standard hospitals, so Knight Errant often uses them to patch up criminals that they've banged up and want to keep around, usually for questioning, they rarely spend much effort reviving folks they would just send to the slammer otherwise.
-
apologies for the delay in posting. I was out of town this weekend doing a concert/fan-club thing. So my brains were a bit scattered.
-
Staying in AR, I log into the Matrix and access the public part of the Host for the Health Point. I look for a list of doctors, visitor's map, basic hospital overview (their webpage info). I also try and get a peek at their security, to get a feel for how powerful the Host is (Host rating), get a view of the Patrol IC, and get a general overview. I don't do anything that will trigger OS or the IC, just get a basic overview of the hospital while I listen to the others.
After I have that sort of information I will sort it into AROs, with a basic map and list of doctors/interns for everyone. I also sort out any Dwarf interns they have listed.
I will leave it to you to roll anything I need for this. My deck has Wrapper running (looks like a comlink), and I keep my persona looking pretty average/nondescript. I am not going to sneak or do anything to raise any notice this visit.
-
Ravener is able to easily locate the Health Point Host. The Host will happily grant 1 Mark to any who request it for their Public Host.
Within, you do find a list of Residents and a basic Floor Plan. You see that they have an internship program, but do not find a list of current interns. It notes the Knight Errant is the contracted security company.
Welcome to the home page of the Health Point Internship Program!
Our internship provides hands-on experience to medical students interested in pursuing careers in all fields of the health care industry.
Health Point interns serve alongside health care professionals in many facets of the industry, working together to provide patient support under the guidance of staff in the provision of a safe, comfortable and confidential environment.
Please access the various features of the Health Point Internship Node and the options available to those interested in taking their first step into a career in health care!
“It was an amazing experience...that many other nursing students did not have. My teachers were very impressed with the knowledge I already had.”— Thomas Finley, University of Washington
“Most PA schools require A LOT of work/volunteer hours because they are all very fast paced programs and its beneficial to have some experience...I wish I could have done more! It is a great program!”— Karen Jones, Physician Assistant Student, Seattle College of Medicine
A Matrix Perception Test locates the Secure Host as well as the Patrol Ice in the Public host. The Public host is a rating 3 Host, the Secure host is a rating 4 Host. The Secure Host does not offer Marks, so you would have to actually hack it. It is separate from the Public Host.
Feel free to make an IC post regarding some of this.
Also, check the Needle Net post for information on the Pincushion:
https://shaking-the-shadows.obsidianportal.com/wikis/needle-net (https://shaking-the-shadows.obsidianportal.com/wikis/needle-net)
Read both the IC section (from Tone Loco) and then scroll down for instructions on how to use it. Then when you go over to it, you will notice I've already created a link for Health Point. When you select the link, it'll open a 'create' page. Go ahead and create the page and put in whatever info you think Ravener would.
-
Once you make that page, I'll post the actual map you downloaded.
-
Alright, so Cherie is calling Hank, Redline and Ravener are going to check out the Ambulance, riding in Ravener's Truck.
Jujin Kai has simply left, asking to be called when they need him.
Whiskey and Raiden are doing what?
-
After parking on a street near the closest Stuffer Shack to the Ambulance I am going to make my run against the Health Point host. I will be in Hot Sim VR, running Exploit, Baby Monitor, and Sneak. My ASDF is set at 7/3/5/5. As I am running Baby Monitor, I am going to know my OS score at all times, if it reaches 30 I will pause what I am doing and make a decision to continue or jack out and reboot depending on what I am doing. (Pause my actions and let me know where I am). If I pick up a mark from the system, assume that I am also pausing and probably jacking out to reboot.
Since I know where the host is already, I will transfer to the public host (so I am off the public grid). I will then switch to silent running, and Hack on the Fly to get on the Private Host (+2d Hotsim, -2d Silent, 15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294272 4 hits). If I get a mark against me, I will drop out to AR and reset my deck. I will then try again.
Once on the host I will search for the Security Spider and IC. If the spider is running silent, I make a Matrix Perception check (6d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/294274 2 hits). If I get sufficient hits, I am interested spotting the spider and his Firewall rating. If I don't spot him I move on.
Then I will search for the new hire Intern datafiles, Matrix Search (6d[5] repeated until I find it or am discovered, assuming no higher than threshold 3 as it is regularly accessed...http://orokos.com/roll/294278 2 hits...http://orokos.com/roll/294279 2 more hits)
I will then Hack on the Fly to put a mark on the Intern List (15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294280 sigh, 3 hits If I have sufficient net hits, I will look for a data bomb. If not, I will Hack on the fly again (15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294281 5 hits) Looking for Data Bomb, and file protection and level.
Next, I will either Disarm Data Bomb (edged for 8d6 http://orokos.com/roll/294282 3 hits), and/or Crack File as needed (switching Sleaze/Attack first, then 13d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294283 1 hit...not sure I like this dice program...). If I need to retry to Crack File (at this point with a mark on me, 13d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294284 4 hits).
For anything further I need to know what has happened. I will be editing the file (if I am still undetected) or copying it to my deck for further editing if I am detected for later edit and copy/paste back into the system. If I missed a required roll in there, please just make it for me.
-
Cherie is sitting in the truck keeping watch and casting the clean earth spell then erasing her signature repeatedly. It's what she does when she is waiting.
-
Redline checking out the area around the ambulance and the vehicle itself:
Perception test to see if anything around seems off: http://orokos.com/roll/294370 3 hits.
Automotive mechanic test to check the engine and make any repairs http://orokos.com/roll/294371 1 hit. If anything does seem off, Redline will take more time as needed to fully repair the engine.
Perception test to check the interior of the ambulance for any contents, signs of previous use and any abnormalities: http://orokos.com/roll/294376 2 hits.

If I get a mark against me, I will drop out to AR and reset my deck. I will then try again.
With 4 hits, you do not sleaze a MARK. You reboot and try again. Despite 7 hits on your second attempt, you still do not manage a MARK. Third times a charm, as you get 5 hits and learn that the Host is a rating 4 Host.
You enter the Host. It is sculpted to look like a hospital with very clean architecture. You notice that there are a few roving orderlies, probably Patrol IC spawned from your previous failed attempts.
Once on the host I will search for the Security Spider and IC. If the spider is running silent, I make a Matrix Perception check (6d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/294274 2 hits). If I get sufficient hits, I am interested spotting the spider and his Firewall rating. If I don't spot him I move on.
You do not manage to find any Spiders or IC beyond the three roaming orderlies.
Then I will search for the new hire Intern datafiles, Matrix Search (6d[5] repeated until I find it or am discovered, assuming no higher than threshold 3 as it is regularly accessed...http://orokos.com/roll/294278 2 hits...http://orokos.com/roll/294279 2 more hits)
You conduct a data search to find the files you are looking for. As the search itself is not an illegal action, the orderlies don't seem to pay mind to you, even on those few occasions you are sure one of them saw you. It takes only a few minutes to find the list.
I will then Hack on the Fly to put a mark on the Intern List (15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294280 sigh, 3 hits If I have sufficient net hits, I will look for a data bomb. If not, I will Hack on the fly again (15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294281 5 hits) Looking for Data Bomb, and file protection and level.
You manage to sleaze a MARK onto the file on your first attempt. The orderlies move about and you reflexively duck your head as they pass you, standing before the filing cabinet, but they don't seem to notice you.
Next, I will either Disarm Data Bomb (edged for 8d6 http://orokos.com/roll/294282 3 hits), and/or Crack File as needed (switching Sleaze/Attack first, then 13d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294283 1 hit...not sure I like this dice program...). If I need to retry to Crack File (at this point with a mark on me, 13d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294284 4 hits).
You have to start with a Matrix Perception Test to see if there even is a Data Bomb on the file. You get two hits on the Matrix Perception Test and do not find a Data Bomb. The file is not encrypted. You do not use any Edge at this time.
For anything further I need to know what has happened. I will be editing the file (if I am still undetected) or copying it to my deck for further editing if I am detected for later edit and copy/paste back into the system. If I missed a required roll in there, please just make it for me.
You decide to Edit the file, which is not an illegal action: In approximately 10 seconds, you manage to make the changes you want to make.
Unless there is anything else you want to do...?
-
As I am still undetected, I perform a Matrix Search to find the admissions from the day Kingston got captured and the day afterwards, specifically male orks with trauma. (6d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/294485 2 hits ... second test, 6d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/294486 1 hit) Once found, I Hack on the Fly for a mark (15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294487 3 hits, if it doesn't work (and give me the net hits to detect a data bomb) I retry 15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294488 7 hits) As every 2 net hits counts as a hit on Matrix Perception, I look for data bomb then lock on the file.
Now that I have found and marked the file, I Disarm Data Bomb if needed(edged 8d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/294490 then http://orokos.com/roll/294491 for 2 hits). I then crack the file if needed(after swaping Attack with Sleaze just long enough to do so) (13d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/294494 5 hits). After getting file access I copy it into my deck (edit file 10d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/294496 3 hits).
If I end up triggering IC or with an OS of 33 (Baby Monitor is running) or higher before I start disarming or cracking file, switch to AR and then jack out. If I am already disarming or cracking file, then try and complete and then switch to AR and then jack out. If it gets more complicated (taking damage, dangerous IC, ect...) then pause and let me know and I will react. Otherwise, if I need to make other rolls please make them for me.
-
I don't know why my response to this didn't take...
Bottom line, you did not manage MARKS with your first two rolls.
You either need to Jack Out or roll Initiative.
-
If I don't manage marks twice, then I have two marks on me. Switch to AR, then Jack out. I will have to let things calm down a bit while we have our meeting at the ambulance.
-
Redline is wearing her custom-fit Sleeping Tiger kit and is lugging her Remington 950 and Remington Suppressor for weaponry. The Suppressor is holstered, and she's carrying the stripped-down 950 in a brief case.
Redline uses her knowledge of Seattle Geography to look for a place to set up her perch, perhaps not too successfully with 1 hit. http://orokos.com/roll/296681
Looking for a spot that both has a good view of the hospital and isn't overly exposed, she'll make her way to the place as quietly as possible. She manages the second effort a little better with 4 hits. http://orokos.com/roll/296679
If it seems like she's at an impasse, or someone begins taking notice of her, Redline will stop to re-assess the situation.
-
OK, what I need from you guys is a rundown of the plan, perhaps made IC by whomever is coordinating it, ultimately.
As well, when you guys are meeting up to do it, who is doing any additional prep/preliminary work to get the plan going, where people are waiting in the meanwhile, if they are doing anything other than non-game essential activities, etc.
-
Jujin just went to make his debt payment. Other than that, he is just readying his gear and waiting for the meet up call.

-
Raiden, you were going to be leading the 'in' group. You want to lay out the plan. Once we are have it figured out I will make a net run to find out his room number and such.
-
Sorry for not posting in a while guys, I've had family in town for the past week.Redline's response to Raiden's recent post will be up tomorrow.
-
There's a bounty on Oni corpses?
-
Maybe. Doesn't really matter, just convince the doorman my cousin can hook me up with a few grand fornthe body if it's off the books. And since said doorman is doing me a favor he stands to make a tidy profit.
-
Now that we have everyone together and are some time has passed from my last run I am going to hop in and try and get Kingston's file so we know his room number and medical condition. Running ASDF of 3/7/5/6 with Exploit, Sneak, and Encryption in Hot Sim.
First I enter the public host, then Hack on the Fly to get a mark on the private host (17d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/298873 6 hits). if that somehow fails, I log out and reboot then try again.
Switching to Running Silent I enter the private host. I look around to try and spot the Spider (Matrix Perception of 6d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/298874 2 hits). I then search for Kingston's file again, as I found it last time I do not know if I need another search. If so, then here are the rolls (6d[5] http://orokos.com/roll/298875 no hits, but not a glitch ... http://orokos.com/roll/298876 2 hits .... http://orokos.com/roll/298877 1 hit )
After finding his file I Hack on the Fly to get a mark (15d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/298878 only 3 hits, so spending an edge to reroll http://orokos.com/roll/298880 giving me a total of 6 hits). Using net hits to detect Data Bomb (if 2 net hits) and File Protection (if 4 net hits). Then Disarm Data Bomb (if necessary) (edged roll of 8d[6] http://orokos.com/roll/298881 4 sixes, so rolling sixes http://orokos.com/roll/298882 for a total of 5 hits). If protected, then swap attack and sleaze long enough to Crack File (13d[7] http://orokos.com/roll/298883 5 hits). I then copy the file and get out.
-
Sorry, all, had a really busy week.
You manage to get the file you are looking for without blowing yourself up.
What information are you wanting to get from it?
Also, I'm getting a map (https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zRPLphfhHz8M.kpITN-EsAaCo&usp=sharing) you guys can use to see a few things. It's editable, so you can put stuff like, where your doss is or whatever. Don't clutter it up too badly.
Meanwhile, it looks like you guys are meeting up now? What time are you meeting and where is the meeting spot?
Ozee: The neighborhood is not very 'tall'. There are some places you might be able to post up, however. Take a look at the map and assume what is there now is there in the future.
-
When you guys want to contact your contacts, you should do in a dialogue form, sort of how it goes on this page:
http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=20754.60
(Check about three posts down, then to my post for the responses that eventually came back)
We can defy use the medium to actually get conversations and stuff going being PCs and NPCs, as opposed to tabletop methods gf, "I'd call Fred and ask about the macguffin."
-
So if she agrees I'm going to meet Dana for drinks. I'll buy a few rounds and start into some verbal fencing, get her feeling competitive before dropping a false hint about the guy we are trying to extract and allowing her to correct me and maybe let slip something I don't know. If 7 hits on my social roll doesn't turn up anything I'll just let the evening play out naturally and have fun with my advance from the job.
-
Availability to meet was based on Cha + Loyalty with a Threshold of Connection Rating.
You did not get 4 hits, so Dana is unable to make time for Raiden this evening.
-
As it has been a while and we haven't really had anything posted. Are we all good on moving on to the night of the extraction?
-
Sure. I call in the team.
-
Last IC post was a response to VegasRigged. I was waiting to see if he was going to ask D. Oaks over the phone or if he was letting that go.
-
Those of you who are posting, feel free to dictate the actions of those who aren't. Whiskey is probably out for sure, so if someone wants to take over that character completely, go ahead.
I am sorry about not posting more often. My intent was to just post for people when the story slowed or we were waiting on someone, but it's felt like we've been waiting for multiple someones.
From this point, we will move the story along, and those who don't post will be co-opted by the group.
-
I'm not afraid to just take control of everybody! 2 days since I said I'd be moving this along. I will move it along!
There will be mayhem and death!!!
-
Ready to go!
-
I take position near Redline, switching my coat and mask to an appropriate color to blend into the rooftop site. I swap Wrapper out for Sneak on my deck and then enter hot sim VR. I look around for any unusual presence in the matrix here (Matrix Perception 6d[5] 3 hits http://orokos.com/roll/308632). As long as I don't detect anything that looks it is going to be more trouble than expected, I enter the public host and wait for the rest of the team to tell me that we are starting. I run my comlink audio through my VR interface so I can hear it. When they are ready to start I attempt to get a mark on the host (Hack on the Fly 17d[7] 6 hits http://orokos.com/roll/308633). I then alter my icon to match those of the workers, go silent, and then enter the private host.

You are in the Host.
-
Let me get a con roll from Raiden. It will be assisted by both Jujin and Whiskey.
You all get +1 for looking the part.
Raiden will get an additional +1 for the items actually being in the system.
Hmm... Whiskey gets to roll... 1 die.
I'll Orokos it and let's hope she doesn't get a 1!
It wasn't a success, but I will keep the result (is it a glitch?) a secret for now.
Jujin can roll 3 dice, any successes add to Raiden's dice pool.
-
Nine hits pre-edged.
I'll add whatever from Jujin when he rolls but I suspect he bought it.
-
Please make your IC post with what you said!
-
Three hits on memory to remember where the office we need is, as well as the Morgue and our mans room.
-
Sorry guys, was out at GenCon all last week. Great time, but super busy. Post up in a few.
-
Alright, let's keep this moving.
-
Raider gets 5 hits on his con test. The guard does not do so well, so for the moment, the guard let's Raiden in, but it's only a matter of time before the shit goes down...
Also, as threatened, I'm just pushing this forward, with or without posts.
-
Ravener searches for the guards comlink, which should be easy as it is probably not running silent (Matrix Perception 6d[5] 1 hit http://orokos.com/roll/316096). He then attempts to get a mark on the comlink (15d[7] 3 hits http://orokos.com/roll/316098). I then swap Sleaze and Attack. Then I crash his dialer program so he can't call his boss (13d[6] 6 hits http://orokos.com/roll/316100). I swap Sleaze and Attack back. I then turn off the add blocker on the comlink (Control Device, 9d[5] 2 hits http://orokos.com/roll/316101)
After doing that I find the heart monitor on Kingston (Matric Perception 6d[5] 1 hit http://orokos.com/roll/316105) and try and get a mark on it (Hack on the Fly, 15d[7] 4 hits http://orokos.com/roll/316106)
-
Success. What do you do with the marks on the heart monitor?
-
Right now I'm trying to talk these guys down from any violence or alarm raising, I rolled my negotiation plus cool resolve and edge and came up with fifteen hits thanks to the wonders of exploding sixes.
-
I'd like the link to that roll, friend-o!
-
OK... here's the situation.
It's time for Initative Rolls from everybody. Some of your actions are going to be holding actions for a bit, but we're getting the rolls now.
Whiskey and Raiden have the gurney with Kingston on it, they have just pushed out of the room. They are approximately 50 meters from the exit. They can push the gurney at a walking rate or running rate of 3x instead of 4x.
Ravener and Redline are positioned on a building across the way, ready to provide cover fire. You see two Knight Errant Officers enjoying a cup of Soykaf in the parking lot, approximately 25 meters from the entrance on the opposite side of where the ambulance is waiting.
Cherie is on top of the ambulance.
Jujin is in Kingston's hospital bed laying in wait, ready to cause a diversion.
I don't know who is driving the ambulance... right now I imagine Whiskey or Raiden will be manually driving it.
-
Ravener is in Hot Sim, so his initiative is 22 (4d6+9 http://orokos.com/roll/317230).
-
31 Cherie
25 Whiskey
22 Ravener
16 Raiden
16 Redline
14 KE Outside
11 KE Inside
07 Jujin
Here are the initiative rolls. In 24 hours, I suspect I will be posting Cherie and Whiskey's actions, then I'll give the rest of you time to post. When you do post, you can use if-then-else statements so you don't have to wait on me to adjudicate the last guy before you post. Post what you are wanting to do in OOC. Once I adjudicate and let you know the results, post the narrative in the IC.
Thanks!
-
Cherie attempts to summon a spirit. She used a point of edge, as did the spirit, both post edge. Even on the roll. Cherie makes her soak roll.
Whiskey holds her action to move in concert with Raiden.
Ravener, please describe your next action and roll any dice.
-
Acted for Ravener, who placed two MARKs onto a single commlink.
Raiden, you're up.
I'm checking this thread every day and posting for you if someone doesn't otherwise post.
-
Sorry, was waiting for others to post. I am going to locate one of the fire alarms for the side away from the ambulance and try and get a mark on it. Since I have marks on a guard's comlink, I will snoop to listen in to their radio chatter and let the rest of the team know if there is any problems. You can roll for me.
-
No worries. I just want to keep this moving. With the folks who have dropped out, we've kind of settled into a bit of complacency... especially now that I'm running the Triple Threat one as well, going to keep it mostly tight.
-
Raiden and Whiskey push the gurney approximately 12 meters down the hall this turn, which will leave them with 38 meters to go... it looks like it will indeed take about 4-5 rounds to even get out.
Whiskey reaches a hand under the cover to be ready to fire her AK-97. She also focuses her inner strength, boosting her agility by 3 (spending an edge point to do so).
Raider simply pushes, exuding an air of legitimacy to his actions.
------
Redline, it's your turn, if you are still with us. I'll be posting for you in 24 hours if you don't otherwise post.
-
Redline takes two take aim actions on one of the KE officers outside.
All of the KE Officers act.
Jujin's turn.
-
jujin will take his combat sim. if he has time he will notch up his agility with his adept skills.
-
You can make 2 Simple Actions or 1 Complex Action in a given combat turn.
Readying the item is a Simple Action.
Using the Item is a Simple action.
Using your attribute Boost Ability is a Simple Action.
So you'll have to wait till then.
In other news, you gain 10 points to your initiative immediately, so you'll have another pass this round, and won't act last.
That is the end of the pass... back to the top of the pass:
21 Cherie
15 Whiskey
12 Ravener
07 Jujin
06 Raiden
06 Redline
04 KE Outside
01 KE Inside
Cherie attempts, once again, to summon a spirit.
Whiskey once again holds her action to see what might need to happen.
Ravener wants to locate a Fire Alarm... this is likely connected to the Host, you have not yet sleazed MARKs onto the Host, you cannot direct connect to any Fire Alarms.
The Host is easy to spot. Marix Perception Tests to get any info from it (or use info you already know about it) and it's a complex action to sleaze a MARK. Please make the roll!
While Ravener is doing this, Jujin, what is you next action? I assume it's to use your Attribute Boost: Strength followed by Attribute Boost: Agility If that is the case, can you roll the dice, your pools are:
Magic + Attribute Boost Rating, so that's 8 Dice Pool for Strength and 9 Dice Pool for Agility. Your Attribute will go p by the amount of hits you get, to a maximum of 4 hits. At the end of Hits*2 rounds, the effect will end and you will have to soak a small amount of drain.
Raiden will also be holding his action in case anyone tries anything funky.
Which brings us back to Redline, who is probably maintaining aim. Everyone feel free to post narrative about what you are doing here, give me any dice rolls. In approximately 24 hours I will make adjudicate anything that needs adjudicating while posting for anyone who doesn't post.
-
Redline rolls 17 dice to fire a shot at one of the KE officers when the time comes, meeting her weapon's limit of 8 hits. http://orokos.com/roll/319966 (http://orokos.com/roll/319966)
-
http://orokos.com/roll/319971 for str and http://orokos.com/roll/319972 for Agility
-
Easier if you type out your bbcode with the url itself inside the first set of brackets and then the text of the hits you got.
For an example, hit 'Quote' on this post and it should show you how I am writing the following:
16 hits (http://orokos.com/roll/319966)
Also, on Orokos itself, if you use the code:
Xd6t5 <-- Roll X 6 sided dice, looking for target number 5
This will give you a hits based result instead of tallying up the dice.
This has been a quick class in bbcode and orokos dice rolling. Carry on!
-
Jujin has +2 to Strength and +2 to Agility for the next four rounds, at which point he'll need to make a Drain Roll (Body + Willpower) for each one to soak 2 and 3 Stun damage respectively.
Redline pulls the trigger. I'm assuming, since we didn't get that far, that she's got Gel Rounds loaded for non-lethal on these beat cops? Well, the target counts as being 'unaware' so he gets no defense. That's 8 net hits. 12 base damage on the Remington 950, makes it 20S, AP -3. The target goes down in a heap. There is no silencer/suppressor on the weapon, so BOOM goes the gunshot, probably heard for quite some distance around.
Ravener got a Mark on the host. HE may enter the host if he wishes on his next turn, which is NOW.
That will be the last action this Combat Turn and we will reroll initiative.
Let me get everyone's initiative scores!
-
Putting Mark on Fire alarm on other side of building from team. (15d[7] Hit my limit at 7 hits...http://orokos.com/roll/320120). I then trigger the fire alarm. Note that I was in the host prior to this. I then search the surrounding area for any KE vehicles/drones matrix icons (Matrix Perception 6d[5] 4 this http://orokos.com/roll/320121). If I see any I will put AR flags on them so the team can keep track of them. I will then switch to AR and get my rifle ready. Note that I do have a silencer and am loaded with Stick and Shock.
-
28 Cherie
22 Whiskey
17 Ravener
16 Jujin
15 Redline
13 Raiden
12 KE Officers
Cherie Directs her spirit.
Whiskey is again holding her action with Raiden.
Ravener, that Fire Alarm did go off.
The Knight Errant Officer in the parking lot starts dancing over his comatose comrade.
Jujin, I assume you're holding your action.
That brings us to Redline
-
hey sorry, i left my laptop at work, and i was able to grab it tonight. Do i need to roll anything?
-
Not just now, but you may in a moment:
Redline also holds his action.
Raiden is running along with Whiskey. They move another 12 meters. That leaves them with 26 meters to the door, about 9 seconds till they are out, but then another 30 meters to the ambulance.
Inside several individuals run into the room Jujin is in. He's under the sheet, so he doesn't see who they are, right off, but boy will they be surprised when they pull the sheets off, unfortunately, so might Jujin.
So I do need Jujin to make a surprise roll, which is his Reaction + Intuition + 3 (Because he has an idea of what's about to happen.
That's a dice pool of: Reaction 4 (due to Drugs) + Intuition 3 + 3 = 10.
The threshold is 3. If he doesn't get those 3 successes, he will lose 10 off of his initiative. You will likely still be able to get the drop on them, but you will not get a second action this combat round.
Then if you want to make an attack, it's your Blade skill (9 + Specialization 2 = 11) + your Agility (7 + Boosted 2 = 9) + Weapon Focus Rating (2) = 22 Dice. Also, decide if your Elemental Weapon is on and if it's Acid or Electricity (I suggest Electricity).
Once you have rolled those dice, I will give you the results and you can make a narrative post describing the actions.
-
reaction: reaction (http://orokos.com/roll/323014): 10d6 37 attack: reaction (http://orokos.com/roll/323018): 22d6 89 and yes, its Electric edit: sorry i forgot to change 'reaction' to attack
-
On Orokos, stick a t5 at the end of your dice rolls to get it to read as successes instead of tallying them, for example: 10d6t5
That said, looks like you aren't surprised. Unfortunately for everyone else in the room, they ARE surprised.
Lacking a defense test, this makes all 9 of your hits into Net Hits, so that adds 9 to your damage. Your Katana damage is Str + 3 which is 11. Net Hits adds to that for a total of 20 damage.
They get to soak with Body + Armor (- your Armor Piercing, which is 3) which ends up being 5 hits. So 15 dmg. That pretty much murders him in any way you want to describe, so go ahead and make an IC post describing exactly what happens in the moment of the attack. Then I'll move on to others.
-
Next pass:
18 Cherie
12 Whiskey
07 Ravener
06 Jujin
05 Redline
03 Raiden
-- KE Officers
Cherie is doing whatever Cheris is doing. Whiskey fires at Knight Errant guys inside.
Ravener and Jujin are up again.
-
Jujin will attempt to knock out the guard at the foot of the bed and tell the nurses to run
(if i get to attack: knock out (http://orokos.com/roll/323322): 22d6t5 8)
-
Ravener will try and identify any KE vehicles in the parking area (Matrix Perception 6d[5] 3 hits http://orokos.com/roll/323317#). He will then switch to AR and ready his rifle to provide covering fire.
-
@ Shai
A 'knock out' attack doesn't exist with a sword. However, you can make a 'called shot' to 'split' the damage between 'physical and stun'. So you do at the -4 penalty to making this particular called shot. I just knocked off the last 4 dice of the roll, so that took away 3 of your Hits, leaving you with 5. He still cannot defend as he was surprised and won't get a defense roll until he acts. So you do 16 Damage -3 AP. He soaks 5, so takes 11 damage, split between physical and stun, 5 and 6 respectively. He gets knocked to the ground, hard to say if he'll stay there.
You can make your IC post reflecting the above.
@ Will
It's hard to do, mostly because vehicles that aren't on aren't broadcasting and even if they are, the parking lot has a lot of cars. You'd actually be better off meat world percepting.
@ All
At this point, I'll take initiative rolls again.
-
Initiative: 21 (http://orokos.com/roll/323717)
-
Redline rolls 16 for the next action phase. http://orokos.com/roll/3238510 (http://orokos.com/roll/3238510)
Redline will continue to provide overwatch for the team; she'll spend one pass to aim at any threat and the next shooting at them.
If anyone indicates they can't operate the ambulance or need a hand with it, Redline will switch to her control rig and drive the thing out (assuming the ambulance is compatible with that?).
-
is the jazz still in effect?
-
For 50 minutes (1d6x10 min). It's been roughly 5 seconds since you took it.
-
26 Cherie
21 Jujin
20 Ravener
20 Whiskey
17 KE Officer Inside
16 Redline
10 KE Patrolman Inside
08 Raiden
07 Nurses
Action to Cherie. Jujin, be ready for whatever you are about to do next.
-
Cherie holds her action.
Action to Jujin. There are two nurses screaming, they have not had time to react to Jujin's command. The fire alarm is going off. One KE Patrolman lies dead on the ground, the other is writhing in pain, but is neither dead nor unconscious. There was gunfire from the hallway shortly after someone outside had yelled "What's going on in there". If you haven't posted by tomorrow, I'll post for you.
After Jujin will be Ravener... if there is anything he's doing besides holding his action, Will can go ahead and post Ravener's actions.
-
Ravener keeps an eye out for threats and readies his rifle.
-
im trying to read back and see what floor we are on, and what, if anything is below the windows.
-
You are on the first floor, there are no windows in the room you are in.
-
k, going to bumbrush the doorway and attack the first one i see
-
Soooo.... make an attack roll! I'll not the results and you can modify your IC post to include the results of your actions :)
-
OK, I rolled for you, 9 Hits. You rush past the first guy and hit the second guy, nearly shearing him in half with 13 points of damage after all is said and done (he only had 10 so he's quite dead, sadly. Go ahed and post the IC of that when you get a chance.
Meanwhile, Whiskey continues pushing the cart with Raiden, now that she sees Jujin hit the hallway and that he seems fine.
Still doesn't seem to be any targets for Redline.
The KE officer still standing inside shoots at Jujin:
He fires off several rounds from his pistol, in a panic. He scores a successful hit, several bullets slapping into the armored jacket Jujin wears. He grunts at the sting, but the jacket stops most of it, resulting in only 5 points of Stun damage. However, Jujin will be at -1 for all Dice Rolls until he can heal. Those will be bruises.
Shaihulude, you can incorporate that attack from the officer into your IC if you like so that you can play out Jujin's reaction to getting hit by bullets. The Knight Errant guy there is super panicked.
Action to Raiden, if he has anything besides move another 12 meters, leaving 14 Meters to the exit.
-
16 Cherie
11 Jujin
10 Ravener
10 Whiskey
06 Redline
00 Raiden
?? ???????? <-- What's this? Uh oh!
Action to Cherie. There's little for Jujin to do because he, Whiskey, and Raiden have used all of their movement for the round, so action to Ravener and Redline, really, just a moment for them to decide if there is anything else they are doing than 'waiting'.
-
Observe in Detail the area around the ambulance and parking lot looking for threats to the team exiting (3 hits http://orokos.com/roll/325288)
-
Redline will continue waiting for this pass. If guard #2 does anything that suggests to Redline he's waking up, she'll shoot him. Otherwise, she's waiting to cover the team members exiting the building.
-
Cherie observes in detail looking for threats rolls 6 dice
-
Cherie gets a nice 3 Hits out of 6 Die. She doesn't notice anything.
Ravener also doesn't see anything.
I will need Ravener and Redline to make Sneaking Rolls. Please note any bonuses you get or negative modifiers you believe anyone observing you should get.
-
Ravener Sneaking Roll: 2 hits out of 6 Dice Pool
Redline Sneaking Roll: 2 hits out of 12 Dice Pool (yuck)
Everyone seems to be holding actions until... out of the hospital comes Jujin, Whiskey, and Raiden, pushing the cart towards the ambulance.
As the round comes to an end, someone who was holding an action fires a shot:
5 Hits, and Whiskey is caught Unaware by the Ares Desert Strike. That's 18P v-4. Wearing only Rapid Transit, Whiskey takes it hard.
Everyone but Raiden notices the Sniper on the roof. Only Jujin sees the second one taking up position.
It's a new initiative round, so everyone give me initiative!

I'll try a charisma plus will roll (15 dice threshold 3) to be able to attack the first sniper with a disabling attack. Assuming that I make it, I'll cast clout at force 10 (12 dice to attack, 15 dice to resist a drain of 7). Do 10 + net successes AP 10 I'll use edge of 5 on the attack roll to post edge, and if I take more than one box of drain, I'll use edge to post roll for drain.
If I don't make my roll to be able to do a disabling attack, I'll cast chaos instead in basically the same format.
-
You overcame the Cat Mentor limitation. You get 5 hits on your clout attack. The sniper is 'engaged in combat' so even though he has no way to know you are there or see you or know your casting, he gets a defense roll. Only 3 hits.
He is going to be taking 12S v-10.
But your drain:
1 Stun.
From actions before you have used 2 Edge and had 2 Physical, so now you have used 2 Edge, are at 1 Stun and 2 Physical.
The sniper reacts by firing at the source of the spell. Without taking time to aim, he fires, also scoring 5 Hits. Cherie tries to roll out of the way but only gets 4 Hits. Does she opt to lose 10 Initiative to go full defense (and get 8 more dice)? If so then she is missed. If not then she gets hit for 13P v-4, soaking 6 and taking 7P.
Go ahead and make the IC post as you like :)
-
Unjust to make sure, the shooter did take the -6 dice not being able to see me. While he can definitely know about where I am, he still shouldn't be able to actually see me, and I've been taking the -2 dice for sustaining invisibility.
If that doesn't change anothing, then yes I'll go on full defense. Let me know where I am in the initiative order after deciding.
-
The second sniper fires at Jujin:
He gets 6 Hits.
Juju needs to roll his defense, which is Reaction + Intuition. He can also burn 10 Initiative to proc his Agile Defender and add Agility to that roll (it's currently at 9 due to his Attribute Boost).
-
Jujin opts to go full Defense and spends 10 points of initiative. Doing so, he gets the 6 hits he needs to not get shot, but just barely.

Redline and Ravener, you are now aware of both snipers. And you are up.
-
jujin's going to pick up whiskey and run to the ambulance
-
Redline will line her sights up with the outline of the sniper on the hospital's roof and utilize her cybereyes' thermographic vision to assist in spotting the enemy shooter. She'll fire at the target during her next pass unless the enemy does anything that would cause her to reconsider. She manages 7 hits when it comes time to fire. http://orokos.com/roll/329429 (http://orokos.com/roll/329429)
-
Ravener uses a Simple Action to Take Aim at the sniper who just shot (that he can see), then fires a 3 round burst on the sniper with his EBR. Assuming the target is within 350m (penalty negated by Take Aim with Vision Magnification), he rolls 11d6[8] (Agility 3, Sniper 7, Smartgun 1) for 6 hits (http://orokos.com/roll/329549). Base Damage is 10S(e) with AP -5.
-
Neither of you hit your targets. Redline is pretty certain her's should have been on target, but it was like it was deflected... magic, maybe?
Raiden continues to push the cart while Jujin has picked up Whiskey.
Three individuals pop come out from the far right, using vehicles for cover and moving into position. They look armored and are armed with some manner of Assault Rifle. If you have to make a guess, they are Ares Alphas.

Cherie casts Opium Den at the three emerging High Threat Response Assault members.
She gets 9 hits on the Force 6 spell, pre-edged. Each of them got 2 hits on their resistance.
They all drop to the ground for the duration of the sustainment of this spell, in the throes of ULTIMATE pleasure.
And Cherie makes her drain roll entirely.
The two snipers are aiming at the snipers that just shot at them, one each at Redline and Ravener:
Redline and Ravener both need to make defense rolls, and determine if you want to pre or post edge or whatever.
Meanwhile, something makes itself known to Cherie!
A clout spell cast at Force 8 with 5 hits towards Cherie. She rolls 18 Dice to defend (this includes her counter spelling) and just rolls out of the way.
-
Putting Mark on Fire alarm on other side of building from team. (15d[7] Hit my limit at 7 hits...http://orokos.com/roll/320120). I then trigger the fire alarm. Note that I was in the host prior to this. I then search the surrounding area for any KE vehicles/drones matrix icons (Matrix Perception 6d[5] 4 this http://orokos.com/roll/320121). If I see any I will put AR flags on them so the team can keep track of them. I will then switch to AR and get my rifle ready. Note that I do have a silencer and am loaded with Stick and Shock.
This was earlier, with 4 hits on the Matrix Perception I should have known that there were icons running silent there. This was before I started looking specifically for KE vehicles. I think it kind of got overlooked.
My dodge check is 3 hits (http://orokos.com/roll/330651)
-
Redline rolls 4 hits on her defensive roll http://orokos.com/roll/330673 (http://orokos.com/roll/330673) , and will go ahead and use a point of Edge to re-roll the misses http://orokos.com/roll/330674 , resulting in a total of 6 hits for her defensive roll.
-
This was earlier, with 4 hits on the Matrix Perception I should have known that there were icons running silent there. This was before I started looking specifically for KE vehicles. I think it kind of got overlooked.
My dodge check is 3 hits (http://orokos.com/roll/330651)
I did not overlook it! Keep in mind that page 235 notes that in order to find hidden icons, you have to have some idea that there are even any in the area. I take that to mean that you 'see someone but not a corresponding icon' or 'you just got brute forced, but don't see any icons in the area' and not 'I think this alley is suspicious, I look for hidden icons'.
Now you could have specifically stated that you were looking for hidden icons, and if that is a default question on any future Matrix Perception tests, I'll take that into consideration, but keep in mind that it only works for hidden icons within 100 meters. Anything beyond 100 meters, you have to have some sort of concrete suspicion before you try to find it.
The next thing to consider is whether these guns are running hidden comeliness or if they are slaved to a decker who has out-processed you.
Finally, I did try to slip in a clue. Clues are always obtuse until you see them in hindsight, though. The possessed KE Officer in the parking lot took a sudden, odd interest in his commlink. That was supposed to signal that there was activity on it, activity that the spirit didn't understand, but was meant to be a flag for Ravener to maybe get a few marks on it then perform a snoop then trace action.
----
Redline rolls left, away from Ravener and the shot aimed at her hits the roof where she was laying.
Ravener, however, gets shot. It's bad, 14P AP-4. Go ahead and roll soak and each of you can write up ICs to include your upcoming actions.
It is now your turns, respectively.
-
Yes, from now on any time I am searching an area with a Matrix Perception my first question is 'are there any hidden icons'. Note that it is a simple test (not resisted) and uses only 1 hit to know that there are icons running silent in an area. You only need to make a opposed test if you are trying to find them.
Soak roll is 12d with 9 hits http://orokos.com/roll/330832, meaning I take 5 Physical and am at a -1 wound penalty.
I move back out of the way, preferably to a place I can put a wall between me and the snipers but still see the HTR guys coming up from the parking lot. If not, then I will get out of sight of the snipers and look around for any drones flying in the area.
-
When my turn arrives, I'll target the Mage who attacked me with th clout spell with a force 8 clout spell. I'll be at -2 dice and -2 dice for sustaining the invisibility for sustaining the opium den leaving me 10dice to roll. I'll also try to hide if that's possible. How does invisibility work in this case? If it's useless then I'll drop the spell and just use hiding
-
Redline will focus on the enemy sniper she fired at and observe in detail, flipping through the thermographic and low level light settings within her cybereyes to try to make out any magical or other defenses that would be causing the runners' bullets to miss. She manages a paltry 2 hits. http://orokos.com/roll/331015 (http://orokos.com/roll/331015)
She'll use the remainder of her time taking cover and relaying any insights she may have about the enemy snipers to the team.
-
@ WillAsher
I'll try to remember to use one of your successes on future Matrix Perceptions on asking if there are Hidden Icons within 100m. Please try to remind me as well. Also, you are able to find full cover. The only way you can shoot and maintain the full cover is by firing 'around a corner'. You can fire normally by reducing your cover to Good Cover +4. But you are still on the roof and making it to the fire escape (which is not on a side that you can be fired at by the Snipers will expose you for the action in which you attempt the dash (they will get -4 for shooting a sprinting target, as I assume Ravener will sprint).
@ Cherie
You can maintain invisibility. In order to se you, someone needs to break your invisibility and THEN succeed on an opposed perception roll. You see no target, but knowing that one is there, you switch perception mode to assensing and easily see the invisible mage. You cast recklessly to actually hit him.
I took the liberty of spending another point of edge for Cherie to hit the mage, netting her a total of 6 hits. He defends with 3 hits and takes 11S AP -8. Cherie soaks all of the drain. The Mage rolls his soak. I get zero hits... I spend a point of edge to reroll. He gets 1 Hit and a glitch :-/ From what Cherie can see, he isn't out, but he does drop behind the ledge completely, putting him out of the LOS.
@ Ozee
You spend a simple action observing in detail. There doesn't seem to be anything that you can make out with your improved vision. You then roll behind full cover. You have the same options as Ravener in terms of what you can do next.
-----------
All three of you please make IC posts as you see fit, I'll give it 24 hours before posting the Sniper actions.

Redline will use her remaining simple action to take cover using whatever full cover is available. She gets 5 hits for the upcoming defense roll. http://orokos.com/roll/331035 (http://orokos.com/roll/331035)

If Cherie has another action this turn,then she'll keep half an eye on the Mage and target him if he pops his head back up, she'll but mostly target the snipers with clout. Rolling 10 dice but not using edge. She'll also move after each casting so that it is that much harder to pinpoint her location.

Cherie already went, blasting with a clout spell.
The remaining sniper spends an action observing in detail for Ravener and Redline, then, swivels his rifle back to the top of the ambulance.
Let's get new initiative rolls. 24 hours, then I'll just roll for whoever is remaining.
-
New Initiative is 25 (http://orokos.com/roll/331332)
Ravener will sprint to fire escape taking the full defense action. Defense Test if needed is 7 hits (http://orokos.com/roll/331334).

Redline rolls 14 for initiative. http://orokos.com/roll/331505 (http://orokos.com/roll/331505)

18 HTR Mage
17 Jujin
16 Cherie's Spirit of Man Possessing KE Patrolman
14 Redline Used 1 Edge
13 Raiden
XX Whiskey
Took into account Ravener's wound penalty on his initiative. I do PCs before NPCs, so it doesn't change anything, really. Jujin's Attribute Boosts have both worn off. He takes no damage from drain however.
Cherie is up, Ravener is of course trying to dash across the space to the fire escape.
-
I'll fire off a clout at force 8 at whatever target is obvious, with the Mage as priority and the sniper second. I'll have 10'dice for it.
-
I went ahead and made all of the IC posts. Redline, action to you.
-
Sorry for the delayed reply. Redline is sprinting towards the roof's fire escape. Whenever it is that she makes it to the bottom, she'll draw her SMG and take a moment to determine what if any cover is available to her on the way to the ambulance.
Also, Redline has used 1 of her 4 Edge so far.
-
Cherie will cast clout (fc 8, 10 dice for sustained spells) again then move while invisible, flying to a point behind the ambulance that will allow her to have 75% cover from the sniper.
If no targets present themselves, she will start erasing spell signatures.

Alright, between having to send individual reminders each time it was someone's turn to post and the other two runs being finished and me wanting to get on with month two, I went ahead and just narrated this run to a close. If any of you are wanting to stay on for month 2, of course you are welcome.
Meanwhile, for this run:
Pay was 9,500¥
Karma is 5.
No Street Cred, Notoriety. 1 Notoriety for Jujin. 1 Public Awareness for Whiskey, Raiden, and Jujin.
No added contacts.
For those of you who want to free-Roleplay in the IC thread,please do so. I would love to see further inter character development.. When you guys are done, 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 rate I just posted.
If you have any questions, ask them here. I am going to start a 1 week recruiting drive today for month two. Then 1 week to get everything in order, then kicking off on 8 November.
If you haven't already, there is still that week to write a short fiction worth up to 3 Karma points for Month 1. That opportunity will close 1 November prior to starting Month 2. This does not include writing up the 'milk run', so you can basically get karma for two 'write-ups' in the next few weeks.
Anything you want to by, change, advance, etc, please post it here and I can make the requisite changes to your character sheets.
1 November I'll open it up for month 2 short fictions etc. Also, I updated the Obsidian Portal site, it looks nicer and I added a few things (like the story so far). Some of that stuff is IC postings on the 'Pincushion', you can see that NPCs have made 'comments'. Feel free to edit those wiki pages and append your own IC comments to any IC post.

I'm definitely in for month two. Will you be doing a head count and then splitting us into new teams similar to the first go around?
I'll have a post detailing Redline's activities during the downtime period early this weekend.

Take a moment to reply there. And monitor that post!

I should be good to continue as well. Been a bit hectic here (running on Tuesdays every week for 4 weeks), but I should still be in the game. Also, the math on my Karma page doesn't add up. 5+5+5+5=20 (listed at 15). Will post character changes when I get clarification on that.
-
Fixed and added.

I am going to raise my Computer skill from 2 to 4 (14 Karma and 7 days) and pick up the Data Anomaly quality (6 Karma). The last week of free time is going to be put into starting to buy the Computer specialization in Matrix Perception.
In addition, I want to buy some parts packs so that I can modify my deck array from 6 5 5 3 to 7 5 5 2 (4 parts), buy and modify a Metalink with a self-destruct module, and buy a program module for my deck with Signal Scrub. For those items with availability I would like to get through Michelle, as they are all decker items. (will look up prices when I get home, but just wanted to get it out there)
Buying: Total spent is 3780 nuyen, leaving me with 10120
2 Parts Packs (2000)
1 Program Module: Signal Scrub (900)
Metalink (100)
Self-Destruct Module (200)
Programs: Virtual Machine (80)
Stealth (250)
Smoke and Mirrors (250)
Modifications: Using 6 parts, leaving me with 4
Modify Deck array to 7 5 5 2 (costs 4 parts)
Modify Metalink to have Self-Destruct Module (costs 2 parts)

Alright, waiting to get Ozee's karma expenditures and then I'll track it all.
