I don't remember if assenssing is used as for basic perception tests on the Astral plane or if you use the perception skill. I'll roll whichever one is needed.

Also, can I declare spell defense outside of combat? If so, I would like to add both Ultra and Frenchy to my protected list.

For any astral perception test, you use Intuition + Assensing.

You can declare spell defense any time, but it requires some level of concentration, and all targets need to remain in your sight.

[Reminder]

You can even declare spell defense as the spell is being cast. The only thing is if you have used your free action already in the combat pass, it ill reduce your initiative by 5.

Naturally, IC is now down for me. My dice would be Intuition (4) + Assenssing (2). I'm basically just perceiving astrally with a focus on spirits/watchers/astral entities; keeping tabs on them and focusing on anything that seems to be taking an undue interest in us.

I'll hold off on the Spell Defense as my senses will be focused outward.

picture this without the nerf guns and fake mustaches

Lol, got it from the text description alone. Great, so much for the stealthy pickup lol

[JackVII]

Wonderful. That surely won't upset the locals. We probably should stop at a clothing store on the way out and have him buy something a little more appropriate.

[Csjarrat]

seconded

No one packed extra clothes?

And yeah, he was a little inspired by bewilder's character when initially laid things out.

[Csjarrat]

lol, he aint wearing mine :-)

He looks pretty much like any other person to your astral perception if that makes you feel any better.

You can squeeze along the side if you want to, but to really inspect it you will have to take it out.

A nomad is an enclosed cab vehicle with a raised flat bed in the back. This one has been modified with hardbody sides to the bed and is covered with a tarp.

No it does not. 

[Reminder]

If you are going to press for details here, you will need to roll negotiation (well, or intimidation if you want to go that route). For whatever reason, he has been reluctant to share what if anything he knows before leaving the city.

Also take into account  that you are in a fairly wide open public place

ah, then i'll have to defer to my team mates with social skills lol
