We've now reached the point where I put a spoiler block within a spoiler block. Infodump GO!

[RHat]

Yeah, Jimmy would have at least said something to him on the way in.

"Certainly, but as a professional I do have to do my due diligence and account for the possibilities, you understand.  So what exactly are the parameters here?"

Still waiting on the NPC to answer this one, by the by - not sure if you noticed the question or not, Retro.

[Retrokinesis]

I had missed that, thanks!

It's entirely possible someone has figured out which adventure this is by now. If so, you'll notice I've upped the starting reward. This will likely continue; I find the default rates in the premade adventures to be almost insultingly low in most cases.

I know which it is, or at least the stroyline its from, but don't own it and its in the part of the metaplot im not up to date on.

Again, can't roll yet until Invisible Castle's back up.  Jimmy's intentionally staking out a high counter-offer he's willing to come down from, because that's just how negotiations work - you stake out a position you're willing to move from, and try to get an end result closer to your position than to the other guy's.  When I can roll, should I add in the +2 bonus for having a "heavy bargaining chip" due to what Tink was able to dig up?

[Retrokinesis]

Sure, I'd say that's entirely appropriate. I'll delay Johnson's response until IC is back up and I know his roll as well.

[Chrona]

Rhat, i hope my post is sensical.





How long till Marduk and Three Star have a fight, seriously.

[RHat]

Makes sense.  Can't believe I forgot to mention "half up front" - if nothing else, it guarantees that they're planning to pay.

Yeah, an escrow doesn't hurt either but that's just outside three stars range to suggest himself.

Hard to do an escrow if you don't know how much money it's going to be in the end.

[Chrona]

can they not continue to deposit into an escrow? I'm willing to admit i don't know how they work 100%

[RHat]

I'd imagine so, but it seems to over-complicate matters a bit - especially since hiring runners is usually an off-book thing, so that might be too much of a datatrail.

[Retrokinesis]

We could totally have them fight right now if you want! I'm sure there's a rain-soaked alley somewhere nearby for DRAMATIC BATTLE SEQUENCES .

I don't see any reason they couldn't continue to deposit into an escrow, but there's no guarantee they would after the initial amount. Especially not if they're actually planning on betraying you.

EDIT: Also, I just realized we're going to a dilapidated structure and I have a machine gun in a gyro-harness thing. The Aliens references must flow!

I'm doing my best to avoid it
