Call the dice roll on the drain test enough of a reaction :)
>:( I hope I got my bad luck out of the way early. It wasn't a glitch/critical glitch, but it was a damn sight close to it. I wonder what the odds are of that on 13 dice...

(2/3)^13, which if you do the math comes out to slightly less than half a percent.

Well, what happened to Dark, I don't know. At this point I am just going to move on without him. Part of the reason I started 1 heavier in numbers than I had initially intended.

Assuming hanging out in a bar doing nothing equates to rest, below are my two healing tests to heal my stun damage. If not, just ignore.

Actually, quick question: the example in the book seems to treat healing as a special kind of Extended Test that does not reduce dice for each successive attempt. The text doesn't say anything about it, so I am not sure how to handle it. If it's a normal Extended Test, I guess just drop the last die from the second test.

2x Natural Stun Recovery Test: Body (4) + Willpower (5) (9d6.hits(5)=3, 9d6.hits(5)=2) for 5 healed boxes out of 4 stun damage.

I didn't see your earlier post about "make up a small run you did for Asha in the past" until after I wrote my introductory post. I implied in my first post that Alexander hadn't worked for/with Asha before, only had made brief contact with her. I decided to split the difference and make it so they hadn't met in person before. Sorry for the mix up, I'll have to keep a closer eye on the OOC thread.

It's fine. Just being we were at street level and most didn't have experience, I just basically was indicating that you didn't have a lot of history, but that you could visual id.

And yeah, I tend to use the OOC thread a bit more than others might.

For now, subtract 5 nuyen for each drink you ordered, and an additional 5 if you grabbed a sandwich or something. The last drink that arrived with your invite is free.

What are you attempting to assense?

I wanted to first make sure there weren't any unexpected auras (active spells, etc).

If the only things showing up were the three (now four) people sitting at the table, I would start with assensing Asha's aura (using roll #1). I'd assense the rest of the table following that. Additional rolls:

Assensing Test [9]: Assensing (2) + Intuition (4) (In order: Frenchy, Mutumbo, Johannes, & Alexander (6d6.hits(5)=3, 6d6.hits(5)=3, 6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=2) No glitches

I'll give you the results once the 5th comes over then.

For Jack:

Asha exudes a calm aura. In fact, the emotion is so strong you can nearly taste it in her aura. To your surprise, both the pale skinned foreigner and the short man show signs of being awakened. You perceive nothing of note from the rest of the auras of those collected.

Bleh, when you made your reply, things clicked into place.

I already had the fixer written when I got the char sheets, and tend to ignore names when someone is using a handle.

Oh well......It's not like its her real name anyway.

LOL, no big deal. Not like Mlinzi is going to be using her real name either.

Based on the description of qualities like insomnia, it is not 100% clear if rest means sleep or not.

That being said, I'll give you whatever you rolled for the first hour. Given your state of mind at the moment, you are not in the most restful state.

Good to know. The example provided for healing Physical damage seem to imply that you don't have to be sleeping all day to be considered resting, so I wasn't entirely sure. I feel like this was fully clarified in previous editions, I'll have to look tonight. I rolled for two hours as I figured I had arrived before 4 and the fixer had us wait for two hours.

I think that puts me at 1 box of Stun Damage.

Question: does Asha speak English? I assume Alexander would have at least attemted to communicate with her in English during their previous encounter.
