Not sure if people know, but figured I'd let you know as I just figured it out after looking at JackVII's roll on Orokos.

You can chain rolls in Orokos by separating them with a semi-colon. You can also roll a number of dice X times by using X#4d6t5, for instance.

So, Bewilderbeast, if you wanted to roll the summon, resist, and drain resist all in one go, you could do:
Multiple roll test: 14d6t5 3 6d6t5 4 13d6t5 7
(which would have been a horrible roll, but you get my point :) )

Yeah, I noticed that when I tested it out. If the descriptive box were a little easier to work with (like similar to IC), I'd probably do it that way more frequently. It does work pretty well with summoning/resistance/drain and probably would be fine with spellcasting/drain as well.

One thing I like about Orokos is that you can hit back and it takes you to the input screen with all of the information still listed, so if you do need to do a sequence where you don't need to change much (like an extended test), you can do it that way too.

I was not aware of that, thank you!

But, uh, yeah, just going to stick with my current rolls, thanks. I got pretty lucky there, hopefully it's a good omen.

@Celtibero: I stopped around 1300 with Baron Mojo's reagent hunting. I can continue my IC post if you'd like and take him up to just prior tot he meet. I wasn't sure if you wanted to throw a challenge in there or not or how many more checks you would allow me to make. Just let me know.

Here are my final reagent harvesting rolls. While he had 9 hours to continue harvesting, I only rolled three times as the area was going to start getting ridiculous. Baron Mojo just basically took his time in his search, trying to get a lay of the land.

Reagent Harvesting (3 Hours): Alchemy (2) + Magic (7): 3#9d6t5 3 5 6

6 additional reagents in total. That's not bad!

Spirit Summoning
Summoning Spirit of Man (F4 w/Fear), Spirit Resist, & Drain Resist: 13d6t5 6 4d6t5 1 11d6t5 2
F4 Spirit of Man w/ Fear (3 services, No Drain)

Assensing Rolls: I just rolled 5 assensing tests for bar employees and any aura that looks like it's conspicuously hanging out by themselves. Looking for information that would be provided on the astral perception chart. I can roll more as needed or feel free to roll for me.

5 Assensing Tests: Assensing (4) + Intuition (5): 5#9d6t5 4 6 4 7 6

These rolls seem surprisingly high in some instances.

Wait, what? Valkyrie just paid Moto? Hey, if yes, I'll take it. Guessing I'll need it for repairs eventually

I'll reply in full first thing tomorrow morning. Moto will run a data search on the place.

Johnny's arriving to meet very early to get a sort of social "lay of the land." Since he would've been in the Banshee while Baron Mojo was scoping it out, he could be one of the auras Baron Mojo assensed if he so choices.

Baron Mojo and Johnny already met, though, right? So maybe he'd skip him once he recongized the aura. I don't think we ever hashed out how well they know each other, but... believe it or no, Baron Mojo is probably the kind of guy Johnny would like. Both because Johnny's very personable and tries befriend almost everybody in the Awakened community, but also because they seem to treat their spirits in a similar manner (though with different motives, I imagine). I'm sure Baron Mojo will give him some crap for being aspected, though.

I'm going to do an Etiquette roll for "picking up news and rumors" and generally blending in. Let me know if you want some other social skill rolled for rumor-sniffing and general schmoozing, Mr. GM.

Wow, 10 hits. Amazing roll. It's limited to 9 due to his Social Limit, though. Bad Johnny Juju is the life of the party!: http://orokos.com/roll/183033

All right, Moto is going to look for some info on the Banshee bar of the Redmond Barrens, jumping into Hot-Sim VR on the Emerald City Grid and with the Browse cyberprogram loaded:

Matrix Search w/Browse: "Banshee bar, Redmond Barrens": 12d6t5 3

Spending 200 nuyen to have a (micro) Trid Projector delivered to the workshop from a nearby Hardware Etc (cost 200, avail -), and using one of my mechanics skills (they're all the same, having been bought as a group) to mount the projector onto Romeo-2 (one of my Fly-Spy drones). Since I have a workshop, I judge the working conditions to be good (no negative modifiers), I have adequate tools, and if we're using the Modification rules from Run&Gun I might be able to find some work plans for a +2. Right now I'll just roll my base mechanic skill with an assumption that the task is Average (Threshold 12 due to the size of the items) with an interval of short (10 minutes, since the task is only fitting the RFID tag sized projector onto the drone and connecting it to a powersupply).

Engineering: mounting a (micro) Trid Projector on a Fly-Spy: 12d6t5 3 12d6t5 2 12d6t5 5

Assuming my projections (hah!) is correct, I'd almost be able to make it work in about 30 minutes time.

Engineering: mounting a (micro) Trid Projector on a Fly-Spy: 12d6t5 5

Another 10 minutes, for a total of 40, and I'm happy with the finished product. Fly-Spy with trid projector; complete.

Attached is what Moto's Matrix avatar will look like, but in all matte black and carrying a futuristic looking (i.e. not real in-game weapon) assault weapon. It will be about the size of an average Ork.

[EDIT]
Using the Edit File Matrix Action to keep the trid projected drone animated:
Edit File: Trid Projection action: 13d6t5 3

Finally, Perception test to spot Mr. Johnson and/or other runners in the Banshee:
Jumped In Perception [6]: Looking for other runners/Mr. Johnson: 19d6t5 6

Sweet, hit my Data Processing/Sensor limit (which is equal to the Sensor Limit of my drones, Sensor 3 augmented by the Rating 3 Control Rig).

I pretty much figured Baron Mojo and Bad Johnny Juju had met a time or two before at Hex's, but not to any great degree. Hex probably shared rumors with each of them about the other. Given the context of their interactions, it probably would be appropriate that we've seen each other's auras. In the Banshee, he probably wouldn't have assensed Juju's aura since he didn't meet his criteria (on the wrong side of the bar for staff and not sitting discreetly by himself but rather at the bar).

Does that include me doing an astral projection fly-by of the place prior to walking over?
