How are we paying for these drinks? Just slipping a credstick when we've had enough?

[Imveros]

i assume that's handled off screen by our lifestyles. Incidentals are included in that cost. You get a free bank account with every lifestyle of low and above. Assuming of course you drink within your means or, for that matter, if the boss man cares that much for minutia. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, and when I'm handed a bill IC i will mark it off my sheet then

[8-bit]

I was mostly asking, not so much about funds, I'll mark those off the sheet appropriately, but about how to handle it IC. I figure I'll pay the tab either at the end of the night, or when we go to sit with the Johnson.

[Raven Runner]

Wow, things are rolling!  I'm not real clear on when/how Dave should play into all this.  I'm also not sure how the other players/NPCs will react to her...is this a place where being a troll is chill or is walking in going to make an immediate scene?

RagallachMC, are you going to drop me a cue IC when Dave walks in, and maybe describe the scene a bit?  Or should I be following along and have Dave show up when ever it seems right?  Not sure how this should go

Also, I've been super busy IRL, which is part of the reason I'm playing a simpler character in this game.  That said if I ever drop the ball you are all welcome to PM me mercilessly!

Cheers, Raven

I'll post an entrance for Dave today sometime.

Everyone

Incidentals are covered as part of your lifestyle.  You have food, drinks, clothing and stuff that is appropriate to that level.  Just stay within your level and you're good. If you go beyond, I'll ask for some nuyen to be deducted from your sheet.

I'm not quite sure what Dave looks like. Could you provide me a short (or not short) description of appearance)

Ragallach

If I understood correctly, 8-bit's question concerned IC. Do we pay when we order, when Mr. J shows up, when we leave, when we're asked to, etc?

Here are my dice rolls:
In rule terms my Stone Skin spell is a Force 4 Armor spell.
Stone Skin spell: 16d6t5 2
I don't believe it! This is the third time that orokos spits out a ridiculously bad result. Two scores on 16 dice? Well, whatever.

Drain (DV = 2): 12d6t5 9
You're kidding me, right? I mean, this is just seriously stupid. I'm laughing my ass off.

Do you mind if I roll real dice in future, and send you a photo? Just kidding.

all

In case anyone is watching: The threshold for seeing him cast the Stone Skin spell is 4 on an INT + Perception test.

The bartender has not asked you to pay yet, so it's up to you if you want to pay before he asks for it.

Luckily, the bartender did not notice Mac cast that spell.  Poopy dice rolling on my part.  Remember that magic is not universally embraced and that it still freaks some people out. Just be careful is all I'll say.

[Volker]

Got it, boss. Threshold 4 is not to easy but you're right.

Btw, did you miss my waving for the waitress or did she?

this place caters to dock workers. So i am going to assume most of the dock workers are going to be burly humans and orks and trolls. Who else can heft all that heavy stuff all day long?

I'm still holding out that the Johnson will offer to pick up the tab

[8-bit]

Perception (1) + Intuition (5) + Visual Specialization (2) + Wireless Vision Enhancement (2): 10d6t5 4 [4, 3, 5, 6, 3, 2, 2, 6, 4, 6]

Not sure if I get all those bonuses to notice MacC's casting. I would think it's a visual thing, but not sure.

[Volker]

I’m note quite sure either. Apparently, the perception is partly visual, but it seems not entirely.

Sometimes it’s obvious through a magician’s gestures or incantations. Spirits sometimes cause the air to shimmer, even from astral space. People have reported feeling chills, dread, or other unnatural sensation they can’t quite put their finger on when magic is in the area.

Personally, I would say that you benefit from a part of the bonus (i.e. half of the additional dice) but I guess this is a GM’s call.

Assensing Dave: 6d6t5 4

That's an interesting point.  Well, if casting a spell has a visual component, and it's my understanding that most of them do, then someone like Binary would get all their dice to notice the visual parts of the spell.  To cut down on dice rolling, you could use the same roll with bonuses removed to see if you notice anything else about the spell (sounds, feelings, whatever).  Using Binary's roll above, he would notice the visual parts of the spell but miss anything else.

And yes, I did miss Mac waving down the hostess.  I'll use it was a long day as my excuse

[Volker]

In that case Sterling would have seen the silent moving of MacC's lips. Your call what he makes of it.

Dave

Dave is, to most people, a troll, or should I say TROLL.

At closer glance, she's a tad shorter then most female trolls, and at the same time she is jacked!  Like wow, way more burly then most trolls you might meet on the street.  Real muscle too, so not like those Urban Brawl trolls.  She's the genuine unaugmented thing...at least as far as you can tell.  Her skin is a deep dark gray flecked with lighter and darker spots that give it a granite like appearance, and the rough texture matches,  Her horns are all natural, curling from the sides of her head with unpolished points coming down just above her shoulders. 

Moving on to general looks she's really got nothin going here, of course ugly by human standards but even pretty ugly by troll standards to the point where other trolls even mistake her for a dude some times, though her name also isn't doin her any favors here.  She has a nice smile though, with teeth that sparkle slightly like they are flecked with quartz or something.

edit: Oh, and she's wearing a large hoody and some well worn cargo pants.  The hoody is greenish with some large stains and was clearly made for a overweight human, the cuffs have been cut off and the sleeves only reach to Dave's elbows, well the waist ends about a foot above her waist.

Gotta go, Raven

Not much, then. That's fine, just making sure.
