Ok, this kinda fell by the wayside around page 7 of the IC thread, but did we say it was cool if I just worked purchasing the reagents from Elise into some off camera time IC post?
Also, the reason behind the purchasing of those reagents was to bind a good sized spirit in case I needed it. Also, I'm gonna be about 300 nuyen short of what I need. Here's trying to smooth talk her into throwing the last few drams on credit.
Smooth talk 300 bucks on credit (Cha 4 + Con 2 + Edge 
:
14d6h5 6Assuming it works, I may as well do those rolls as well for when/if I need them. I'll probably be edging them as well. I know I've already spent 1 edge earlier to recognize that constellation, but I think I still have 6 left now.
Summon a Biggun (Sum 3 + Mag 4 + Edge 
:
15d6h5 4Orokos hates me
Resist Summoning (Force 6):
6d6t5 1But not too much, it seems. Time to soak 2 P.
Resist 2P drain (Will 2 + Log 3):
5d6t5 0Ok, so Ian takes 2P from the summoning.
Whoops. I meant to do a force 5, not a 6, so
Whoops -1:
1d6t5 1Yay, I still take the dmg, but I get an extra service off him, for 4.
Now time for the binding ritual. Here's where we see if we wasted 1900 bucks.
Binding Sammo (Bind 3 + Mag 4 + Edge 
:
15d6h5 7THAT'S more along the lines of what I was hoping for. Here goes his roll though...
Resist Binding (Force 5):
10d6t5 3Ok, so I get him for 4 more services, making a total of eight, BUT I gotta soak 6P.
Resist 6P drain (Will 2 + Log 3 + Edge 
:
13d6h5 2So Ian eats a total of 6P combined from the summoning and the binding, yuck. Ian's gonna have to take it REAL easy for a while after this. It would have taken five hours to do. Assuming I'd picked up the reagents from Elise the day after the meet with Dadlez, then he would have gone to the club with the team that night and would have performed this summoning and binding this morning before the feathered run, right?
Just trying to get the timeline right in my head. Either way, it's gonna be a rough few days for Ian.
Oh, and that would have given me 2 fewer dice to use for summoning Salsha, so...
wound whoops -2:
2d6t5 0Sweet, no fewer services from Salsha either. Maybe Orokos dun hate me after all. Maybe it's all just random luck...
3 boxes from near death, broke as hell, and 3/8 edge left, but it's all worth it to have access to a long term friend who can always be trusted and confided in, "Sammo", a Bound force 5 spirit of man who owes 8 services. He looks like a round faced chinese man in his mid 50's. A bit doughy and dressed in a simple grey silk pants and buttoned shirt. Moves with grace and patience.
Sammo, Force 5 Spirit of Man
