Post up. By the way, I cracked open Runner's Companion again and noticed the following:

The character is well-known locally and any compatriot will
identify him with an Intuition + Logic (1) Test.

I know Concrete has already figured out, but if anybody else wants to try, now would be a good time.

Works out to our favor with a bartender or someone knowing who she is to get the friend of a celebrity thing going on.

Can post the latter part of checking the alleyways but i thought of waiting until after the others were let in IC.

I've been on all day more or less, just been hanging back because I don't want to post 5 times to everyone else's once (slow day at work).

Sorry for the slow posts today guys. I was traveling for my honeymoon and the internet is spotty over here. I'm heading out to dinner now and i'll try to take a look at the IC thread and move it along tonight. If not, first thing in the morning!

Don't sweat it. Honeymoon comes first. Congratulations, by the way.

Yeah honeymoon comes first, tell the wife we said hi.

As Best and Reiper said, honeymoon > pbp. Congratulations to you and your new spouse!

[Ren]

Congratulations. And just as the others said: honeymoon's more important.

Siren, start smooth talkin!

Just going to tip my hand and drop the real name, since it seems like it would be of benefit in this situation.

Concrete should roll a perception test in the alley to see if Trog missed anything.

First Edge expenditure of the game!

Concrete, i'm not 100% sure what your last roll was for. Are you trying to recall a club with the name on the cigarette butts? That's what I understood. If so, i'll go with it. Otherwise lemme know what you were trying to do.

Siren, i dont understand the reroll due to failure. My understanding on edge was that it gave extra dice, not extra rolls. Also, shouldnt you be rolling with ur skill plus attribute? Concrete shows his skill plus linked attribute and then adds his modifier (olfactor boosters for example). The module was drawn up before the game even started and trust me you passed the very low threshold, but maybe someone can explain the mechanics to me here on what was happening.

[Ren]

You basically have three possibilities when using Edge to enhance a roll:
1. You declare the use of Edge prior to rolling. In this case, you roll additional dice equal to Edge (eg. INT + Perception + Edge) and Rule of Six applies to all dice.
2. You declare the use of Edge after rolling the test. Now you have two possibilities:
2a. You roll additional dice equal to Edge, and Rule of Six applies to these additional dice.
2b. You reroll all dice of the test that were not a success. There is no Rule of Six for this method.

So basically, if you have a large dice pool, you usually go with 2b. If you have a smaller dice pool and higher Edge, 2a. might be your best choice. 1. is usually chosen if you think the test is very important and you want Rule of Six to all your dice.

Other uses of Edge are detailed in SR4 Anniversary Rulebook p.74.

That is correct, i was trying to recall if there is a club with that name. My other thought was a cigarette brand (pretty sure Concrete doesn't smoke that  , that is why i sent the picture and text to Lord to check it.
