Ready to update, just waiting for you guys to finish the matrix search rolls and settle on a plan.

Also, that's 100 drams each.

[gilga]

Summon level 5 spirit of air: 14d6t5 5
spirit of air (defense): 5d6t5 0

no drain: total 5 services gained:
2 services used to reach the mountain again:  "Take me to the mountain for the binding ritual - afterwards take me back here"

binding is a bit more difficult so we use some edge: (re-roll failures I think is the best way)
Bind spirit of air: 14d6t5 3
Reroll dices (use edge): 11d6t5 3
limit is 5+2=7 - because of good location. 6 successes
spirit of air (defense bind): 10d6t5 3
3 additional services gained total of 8-1 = 7.

now resisting 6DV drain:
drain recovery (bind air): 12d6t5 4

2 stun damage taken.

I think that stun is healed over a night sleep right? does Ivory still has the previous stun damage?

[Siren]

Yes and yes.  4 stun should heal overnight as well, unless you have Insomnia.

Given the amount of time it will take between trips, count that transport as two services, please. You can avoid that by traveling there Astrally and summoning and binding the spirit that way.  No services used.

Also, I assume you're using the reagents they gave you.  Their reagents will be useless to you, as they are a different tradition.

[gilga]

Siren, 
1.  Okay for 2 services, so now I have spirit of air with 6 services and spirit of man with 8.

2. Yes the regents they send us. (the alternative was to ask my fixer for a favor).

3. Thanks for the astral tip - it sure makes that mountain more useful.  I'll do it like that from now on.
(Assuming Ivory probably knows more about summoning then me, can I modify the IC to get 8 services?)

@Siren

Which is the easiest way to get to Seoul from Busan?What is the cost of the trip?

[gilga]

according to google it is in driving distance, ~400km - I thought to just drive there.

[Siren]

Go ahead and edit the IC.  Best way to Seoul is by air.  Next is bullet train, driving can suck due to traffic but it is still just a few hours.

[gilga]

Thanks!
It is driving for Ivory - as she need to transfer the drones and I somehow feel that they'll just attract attention in public transportation. She'll arrive a day late because of the spirits and matrix leg work.

[Csjarrat]

Righto, here's the matrix search test inclusive of a point of edge from Flea, hot sim bonuses and teamwork bonuses:
matrix search + teamwork: 24d6h5 10
10 hits
Limit is 11 (deck configured for 5 Data processing, +1 toolbox +1 overclocker +4 teamwork)
Looking for references to the missing perp, social media feeds, political ties, news articles etc etc

this is for tomorrow morning, Flea is sleeping at the provided safehouse tonight

[gilga]

Might add to that legitimate suppliers, contractors, rivals and near future plans that include the emissary.

I am going to sleep now hopefully until morning.  If I am doing a data search IC in a few hours, my baby girl kept me up in the middle of night. Cheers and nice team work.

P.S Ivory, Flea, and Inanna already used edge, so let us know when (if at all) it refreshes.

[Sabato Kuroi]

@ Siren

If there's nothing else to be done on the island , Sabato will return to Busan and use the mode of transport  that has less strict security measures( so he can travel with his weapons)

Security Measures (transportation): 4d6t5 2

[gilga]

Sabato, you can also come with IT if you are worried about weapons.  She has a 4 sit sedan but only leaves at late evening tough. Less traffic, and she had some stuff she to do from Busan.

I placed an IC about searching stuff.

[Sabato Kuroi]

Good idea.Let's say Sabato goes with IT to Seoul.

[rednblack]

Inanna's going to wrack her brain to see if she knows any runners who are Catholic.  Rolling Shadow Community (Personalities)

Catholic runners in Korea?!: 11d6t5 6

Good roll.  It's a long shot, but if there are some Catholic runners out there, Inanna may have heard of them.  Being a foreigner herself, it's likely she'd know them from some sort of ex-pat community.

Next up is a computer roll for the physical location surrounding the temple for the nutjobs. 

Computer Search: location of His Persistent Hand: 8d6t5 4

I'm looking for the basic layout of the surrounding area.  What's the security rating?  What other buildings are close by?  Who's turf is it?  How old are the buildings? 

Speaking of turf, let's see if Inanna has any knowledge of what criminal elements control the area around our extraction site.  I'm curious for both boots on the ground ganger activity, as well as whether it's mostly a mafia, yak, etc. spot.  I'm assuming that Seoul would expand beyond Inanna's Home Ground quality, but if that's not the case, let me know, Siren.

Gangs around temple (Korean Gangs): 10d6t5 6

and checking for Yakuza connections around.  Taking +2 for politics, so Inanna is interested in which specific Yakuza organization would be active.

Yakuza activity around temple: 10d6t5 4

Wow, that's some rollling.  Wish I could get just one of those for my Tabula Rasa game.

[gilga]

I'd suggest some magical assistance, but you seem to roll so well already.
