Cool, welcome back. Guess I should get the two newbies situated then.

Maybe I should hold off on the IC post until we get the new people firmly situated and all...?

Hoi, Chummers!


Just checking in to say I'm glad to be here and look forward to uncovering the mysteries of the Amnesiac 7 (now 6 /tear) with all of you. I'll be taking over for GrimWulf in playing Ohanzee the Dwarf. I hope that I can fill his shoes, as his style in characterizing the shamanic spirits and the Dwarf's mystical trappings have been great, though sadly too few.


I'm up to speed on what's going on and think it is time to blow, though Masked and I might want to take a few turns to clean up any astral signatures we've left behind first.


I'll get an IC up tomorrow morning (I'm PST, so it might be early afternoon for those in future time zones).

Hey all, I'm the new Ace.  I caught up IC this morning, so I'm pretty much ready to jump in whenever.  Looking forward to gaming with all of you.

At this point it looks like it's time to get back in the rover and bug, right?  Do we want to try and get any info on the electrocuted KE/Ares guy?

Edit: I'm of the opinion that we should grab the other KE/Ares guy.  I think we should ditch him as soon as possible, but I'd like to have a few words with him.  We'll have to worry about a stealth tag, etc, but given a short time frame I think we can get some useful intel and bug out in time.

My perception rolls for the IC:


Perception [Intuition 4 + Perception 3 - Wounds 2]: 5d6t5 0

Assensing [Intuition 4 + Assensing 4 - Wounds 2]: 6d6t5 3

Looking for any snooping spirits and maybe the location of nearby enemies. I'm not sure Assensing is the right skill since I am not checking auras, just looking for nearby entities in the astral, so if I need to roll something else, let me know. If he doesn't spot anything, he'll head back to the SUV.

Assensing is correct for general astral perception. You don't see anything though.

For scrubbing astral signatures, could that be done while projecting? It seems like it should be since it only affects the astral, but it isn't completely clear from the book.

It applies while projecting, yes. As long as you are able to see the signature, you can scrub it.

Summon Water Spirit F6 [Summoning 6 + Magic 6 + Focus 2 - Wound 2]: 12d6t5 6


Spirit Resist [Force 6]: 6d6t5 1


Drain Resist [WIL 6 + CHA 6 + Centering 1]: 13d6t5 1


Ugh. 1 point of stun. But 5 services.


I'm not sure how to handle overwatch as a spirit service - is it just one service to watch us until the sun rises? Since that's all I plan on using the spirit for, I can burn more services on it if needed.

Thanks. I don't intend to make all of my IC that long, but I had a lot to do, using the stunned introspection as a cover for changing players, so the attitude change fit in, story wise.


As much fun as I had with the dolphin, I wonder if it might have been better to have summoned the raven again for concealment. I am unsure whether it works on the astral or not, but it would certainly be handy on the physical considering our ride and general appearance.


Also, I am assuming that spirit summoning doesn't leave an astral signature, otherwise I'll need to edit my post to have him clean up his two summons. I also left out cleaning up the signs of astral combat between The Masked Woman and the enemy mage as Ohanzee wasn't really aware of that in game.


@Ryo
I have my condition monitors currently at 4 physical and 4 stun damage. Does that match what you have?

One service is all you need for the spirit to keep a lookout and inform you of anything it finds. If you need it to then act on any of that information, that'd be an additional service.

Summoning would create an astral signature, yes. Basically anything that causes drain creates a signature, from how I understand it. It's super vague, but that seems like an easy measure to go by.

And yes, 4 physical and 4 stun matches what I have, after the 1 stun you took from summoning. Nice job on that post, by the way. I'll go ahead and give you back 1 Edge for the good roleplaying, so you're back up to 2.

So, by my count you guys are heading back to the rover to get out of dodge, although Ace wants to take a prisoner, which may extend this scene a bit depending on how that conversation goes. But after that, you should be in Aspen before long.

Anybody figure out yet what you wanna do once you reach Aspen? I assume ditching the Rover is high on your priority list. And don't forget that somebody can still use some of their spare knowledge points to take a Knowledge skill related to Organized Crime or the mafia and make a check on Vinny.

Purvue is making up for lost time. Ohanzee just went from the quietest to the busiest in short order.

For reference, the Masked Woman had already astrally scrubbed the site of the hijacking. I don't recall any spells being cast at the edge of the cliff where we woke up. A more lucid Ohanzee might have cast Levitate to save Sam and Chino the effort of pushing the crate up the hill but he didn't do that until it was time to get the crate into the Rover.

Ryo, how do you want to handle Ohanzee's sheet? GrimWulf hadn't updated it since late August and it is obviously out-of-date. For example, Purvue was dropping 2 dice for wound modifiers even though Ohanzee's Physical boxes had been addressed by Crumpled's first aid rolls over a month ago (or, more accurately, your rolls on Crumpled's behalf - 9/4/14).

Rednblack, get an IC post up so I can RP with you.
