You don't see anything outside mine A atm.

The diablo fruits are worth the same amount on the black market as a bag of magic beans!

I think that's the plan. Mlinzi is in the truck ready to go.  8)

I'll do guard duty guys, i'm not really built for close quarters fighting and with no matrix access underground, I doubt there's much I can hack anyways.
I'll monitor the drone's lowlight sensors and let you know if I need any help topside!

@GM, wireless devices in range of another device extend the matrix network right? so you could build a mesh network of rfid tags? the noise would be horrible for hacking but suitable enough for a basic text message?

Not sure if Mlinzi needs a perception test here to detect signs of activity. In case she does: Looking for Signs of Activity at Mine A: Perception (2) + INT (4) (6d6.hits(5)=2)

Also, if that falls under Tracking, it should be the same dice pool.

You don't see any signs of recent activity (regarding vehicles) into and out of the mine, though the ruts in the road leading up to the mine are so deep you can't say if that means a couple of weeks or much more. You can tell this as there are no fresh tracks in the guano around the mine entrance (metahuman tracks anyway).

As for animal tracks, they are all over the area, but the largest belonging to anything carnivorous appear to be a small pack of hyenas.

With the tags that Ultra gave Mwindaji, we could also theoretically program them with arrow AROs indicating the way out of the mine. I think that could be done with a commlink. I don't think the book goes into much detail on that, but it seems like it would be an easy task (for anyone other than Mlinzi).

@Reminder: I don't suppose any of Alzmer's clothing is armored, is it?

Any other suggestions before we head in?

EA: Just a suggestion, but Ultra might want to scan for hidden icons again. If someone was using one of the other mines for some purpose, someone else could be using this one and would probably hide some cameras to keep tabs on it.

1. Depends on how winding the tunnels are.

2. Probably not, since you just bought him something that looked more native, and that wasn't armored clothing.

@Reminder: Would Mlinzi know the spell she just cast was a really bad one? If so, she will re-cast because 1 hit isn't worth anything. In the interest of moving things along, I'm going to recast. If this isn't allowed, I'll edit my post. Just let me know. (Naturally, she only rolled 1 success on her recast... 18 dice, 2 successes)

Not sure if anyone has some extra armor or would let Alzmer use theirs (Ultra?) but we really have no way of protecting him in close quarters if it comes to that.

I have a jacket and a helmet, if i'm topside and alone with just a light pistol and my wits to protect me, i'd rather have my armour on tbh. he could always get changed into his old gear if that was armoured. doesnt matter if he looks a twat in the deep deep dark of the underground mines!

I figured Ultra, based on his personality, wouldn't really be willing to do it in any event but was throwing it out there. The advantage I figured he had top-side would be that he would be hopping in a truck if anything showed up, so he should have pretty decent armor/cover from that alone. It isn't a big deal (I hope).

yeah, he's not the bravest so wouldn't be giving up his armour unless he absolutely had to!

Honestly, I think that probably applies to all of us, LOL.

He could just tell you you can't see very far. (IE are you sure it's working, if I turn around I can't even tell you are there, and I know  you are there) And it's not all you.Warping chance around rolls is my secret GM power. My tabletop group that just started a new game Wednesday was constantly having their force five invibility spells seen through so badly with only an 8 dice pool that i was fudging numbers left and right.

He can have one point of armor I guess if you give him the helmet back. He really wouldn't be the type to plan for dealing with a shootum up.
