How much as Taylor spent today?  He's got ¥2275 in his account, plus the credstick from Bex, but I can't find how much was on that... I think it was ¥1500, but I can't remember.

[Csjarrat]

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

Charisma 2 - Defaulting 1 = 1d6. 1d6.hits (5)=1 Woooo!  Rolled a 6!

[Zweiblumen]

Oh, and CS, would you prefer the rolls to be done out here in the OOC thread or in spoilers like I did in the IC thread?  For that particular action, it felt like that was the better way to do it.

[Csjarrat]

i'm easy either way mate. i'd like combat rolls in the OOC thread though so i can keep tabs of initiative better and such, but for social and non-critical stuff, bang it in spoilers if it saves faffing about on two threads.

[Lumen]

I assume the fancy suit is nothing more than expensive clothing but let me know the stats on the fencing gear as I assume it will come up here soon.  If things go to plan then Knives will be confronting this douche on the practice mat and putting the pressure on.

[Csjarrat]

@ lumen, you see Langdale's persona in AR, broadcasting his score and hit-zone analysis. He's stood guiding two fencers on their posture at the rear of the group, nearest the piste (the mat they fight on).

@ zwei, i'll need an appropriate social test to convince the copper to let you through or an appropriate test to convince ralphy to do so on your behalf.
You'll get his loyalty rating as a positive modifier on your test but it'll cost you a favour.

[Csjarrat]

I assume the fancy suit is nothing more than expensive clothing but let me know the stats on the fencing gear as I assume it will come up here soon.  If things go to plan then Knives will be confronting this douche on the practice mat and putting the pressure on.

Fencing gear will count as custom fit armour with helmet. It gives ARM 4 against melee attacks only and counts as having a biomonitor and single sensor (pressure) woven throughout it.
The helmet comes with an image link built in.

[Lumen]

I'm sorry guys.  It's been getting harder and harder for me to keep up with the game.  I'll try and get a post up tomorrow.  I hate to call it quits after so long but I don't think I can commit to doing this much longer. 

[Csjarrat]

To be honest mate, I'm kinda the same. no doubt you've noticed the huge drop offs in my posting since the little one arrived!
Lets call it a day while we're still all around.
Its been great to play with you and all the guys that have been in "The Old Smoke" since it started. I think we've set the record for longest continuous PBP on these forums and Lumen, you must hold the record for longest continual character within that!
Thanks for your participation and engagement guys, its been a pleasure.

[Lumen]

We had a great run.  Thanks for all the awesome story CS, I really had a lot of fun mucking about in the old smoke.  Best of luck with your family!

[Zweiblumen]

Thanks for letting me join, even if only for a little while.  This was a great game, and you had a great run there, wish I had played for longer.

CS, wish you and your family the best, lemme know if you start another game.  I'll be the first to join

Cheers Lumen.  Hope whatever has your attention is all good things!

[Lumen]

Oi Chummers, good to be back.  Since there's talk of reviving our adventures in the old smoke I took at look at 5th Ed Knives.  Nothing really changed, just added a few nick nacks, but it'll be easier to get to not being buried in the thread.

== Description ==
Knives is a smaller than average human but appears tough and wirey. He is usually seen in his Moritmer of London Greatcoat with a collared shirt and black tie underneath. His hair is cut short and geled to spike up and his deep brown eyes draw people into them.


== Background ==
Knives came into the employ of The Clerkenwell Family at the ripe young age of 19 after his best mate Jimmy signed up and has slowly been climbing up the ladder ever since. His aptitude for knives and sneakery set him apart from the other wiseguys and he was able to secure the position of "Mademan" after only five years of service. Since then Knives has headed up many "protection contracts" on behalf of the Clerkenwell Family as his talents lent well to "collections and enforcement". Thanks to his advancements within the family he was able to afford his own flat on the north side of Brixton.

== Concept ==
Melee adept who specializes in knife play, sneakery, and general skulduggery.

[Csjarrat]

looks good mate, just in the process of working out the next chapter's storyline and will get the ball rolling once the new guys are brought on board with final sheets

[Lumen]

No rush.  I just got some time to take a look so I figured I'd make sure Knives had everything he needs.  I've been watching the recruitment thread, looks like we have a few good choices .

Once again please be patient with me on the 5th ed rules.  I haven't looked at them since we put the game on hold but I'll try rereading the basic stuff before we get started.
