Baba looks both of them over as she approaches, to make sure neither is trying anything funny, and to spot the weapons they surely have on their person.

Intuition 6 + Perception 6 + Visual 2 + Vision Enhancement 2: 16d6t5 6

And Etiquette, to put them properly at ease.

Charisma 2 + Etiquette 1: 3d6t5 1

Baba still isn't the most eloquent ork. I'm honestly surprised I'm still getting hits rolling 3 dice all the time.

As for the guns, Twine does not appear to be armed. The other ork has something big, either a heavy pistol or a small SMG in his jacket.

You'd know without the rolls that Krubbs usually speak Or'zet. What language were you speaking when you first spoke?

She knows Or'zet, she'd know to speak it.

In this RARE instance, gimme a roll on the skill, will ya? If you end up with fewer hits than you could buy, we'll just count it as bought hits instead. no glitch possible.
I normally will NOT force people to make language rolls, but in this case, how well you get the local dialect matters a great deal in how Twine reacts to you.

Or'zet greeting: 8d6t5 4
etiquette: 8d6t5 2

I'd say Francis almost managed to get the back of the throat sounds right that time :)

Just in case i haven't made it clear, if you accept twine's offer and dont burn this place down, you are certain there will be consequences of some sort for One67, who despite his flaws has always been there for you.

So just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, Twine is saying that he wants to keep the house to himself, and make a deal with the dixies to not burn it down?

I thought he wanted to kill the guy inside?

As for the astral thing, you can't hear words and stuff while projecting unless you manifest. On the astral, you just get the emotive content of what is being said without hearing what they're actually talking about.

All he wants from you is the address of the dopehouse, and a way to contact your johnson. You assume he wants to find out who the hell is behind all the shady dealing in his turf and deal with them himself, probably via torture and/or murder. Not that you care so much about some gangers fate, but it WOULD cast a negative light on One67, and his connections rating would probably go down, as might your reputation, depending on how it gets spun.

Why does he need the address? She told Camm the address when she was asking if it was cool to do a run against that house, and I assume Camm mentioned that address when he was asking if that house was Krubb owned or not. Wouldn't Twine already know what house it is?

Baba is going to level this house whether Twine likes it or not. Baba likes the Krubbs better than the Dixies, and called up Camm specifically so she'd have an excuse to walk away from that table. If Twine wants the house intact, then he fucked up by kicking Camm's ass and preventing him from calling Baba back. If Twine's goal is something that does not specifically require the house to remain standing, Baba is totally willing to do it for him. But that house is coming down.

I imagine the guy Twine wants dead is a guy that is working for the Dixies, and they want to burn the house down to hide evidence of that. Thing is, the Dixie Johnson never told us anything about this guy, or even mentioned him at all. If Twine says he wants the guy dead, Baba will kill him. If the Dixies get pissed at that, it's their fault for not being forthcoming on the specifics of the job.

1- i went back and looked and i think you only told him it was on st augustine and it was in their territory. If he were to go down into the hood himself, it probably wouldnt take long for him to find the place, but he'd prefer not to do that. Twine WILL figure it out and soon one way or another. And when he does, he's gonna want the evidence in there that you've been sent to burn.

2- the Johnson you're working for at the moment was DEFINITELY dixie, and from how nervous he was, it seems quite likely that HE was the dixie contact of whichever krubb is trying to go solo. And once Twine figures out who that krubb is, he'll wanna handle it on his own.

1. We were sent to burn a house. A house will be burnt. If things inside the house that may be used as evidence are removed from the house prior to burning, Baba doesn't care, because she wasn't told to burn any of it. And that's exactly what she'll tell the Johnson if he bitches at the end of the run. His fault for not being honest about the job.

2. Twine's insistence to handle it himself is going to be his downfall here, from the sound of it. Baba isn't going to tell him shit, so the only way it'll get done is if he tells her to get it done. She'll gladly do it, but she isn't going to risk a job she already agreed to by telling Twine anything.

I assume Poindexter has Run & Gun, but just in case he doesn't, Bunker Gear is the armor firefighters wear to run into a burning building.

Baba's got a plan a brewin'.
