@Sovereign She gives you a cold look saying “You are killing my buzz Max.  You sneak to a bar you never visit, alone at night on the very day that Venom is going insane looking for his ‘package’ I am no fool max. If you really came here to drink, feel free to go down the bar and stop wasting my time... I do not do casual drinkers sorry.

However, if you know what the ‘package’ is... and are willing to stop clinging to that dirty little lie of yours. In that case we have some business to do. So go back to the bar or confess maxy boy, she say as she roll over from you, so you can get up easily and leave her room.“

Standing up from the bed to stretch his legs a little.  Maxwell bellows out a ragged cough, feeling slightly light-headed as well.  A frown appears on his face and a "I'm tired" look goes along with it.  without turning to Strawberry and mostly just staring at the floor that won't seem to stay still, Maxwell responds in an annoyed tone with: "You've been playing games long before I even wound up here."  "I do admit that this whole thing has gone out of hand."  "Even an on-looker such as myself has to wonder what kind of problem has arisen that's put everyone in such a stir now."  "I may have heard some things about a mysterious package that just simply can't be found."  "The true question is: How much is it worth to you?"  Now that this charade is largely over with, perhaps Maxwell can finally make some head way and some extra cash as well.

@Sovereign Strawberry says, "Look I want Venom embarrassed.  He is acting like an idiot and makes it very difficult to run a business.  If he keeps messing up, I can perhaps get the Yaks to send someone else to run the show. 
About the girl you look for,  I could have killed her.  She was right in the next room jumped in to her car, driving it like a rigger. I could have just shot her. Instead I healed her and told her to get the fuck out before I have to kill her to stay on the good side of Venom.

You see I have this service that I provide.  I overcharge you with drinks.  warm you up, with public display of affection, take you to a private room and then discreetly take you out while I spend  the night in that private room... I saw you and I thought a new customer, if the KE ever comes asking for you - many people saw us going to a room together...  do 1+1 they assumed we had sex.

So here is my offer, I can get you discreetly outside from the window. Next time you need an alibi you can come to my place. Pay me 500 nuyen and we can continue where we left.

As for today, you can be remembered either as some random loser that I flirted with and got him to pay too much on drinks if you leave from the window. You can try to leave from the door and see what happens when I text Venom that I think you are awakened. For tonight the 250 you already paid are fine... it is your first time after all. " She smile at you, she is now all business. That girl that just flirted heavily with you is gone, you are now facing a cold business woman.

Going over what Strawberry said started to make sense the more thought he put into.  Pacing around tying to decide what the best course of action would be, Maxwell stops mid step.  A hilarious thought crossed his mind and a crooked smiled appeared over his gaunt face.  Maxwell then turned to Strawberry with that jagged smile still on and spoke: "For a slight fee I could speed up the process of "removing" Venom from control."  "And I can do this without killing him as well."  "But I need to know if their will be any magical interference before I do so." 

[gilga]

Strawberry say "Do not get me wrong sweetie... I like you and everything but if Venom catches you or  asks for some magical backup - he will get it from me. I will do everything that he asks me."

Maxwell says:  "you masked me before right while we were at the bar?"  Maxwell continues on while trying to suppress laughter at the same time.  "If you could do that trick again then I promise you won't be disappointed."

[gilga]

Strawberry looks confused. "Doll... I did not mask you, there was nobody else that can sense the astral. I assense anyone within half a mile from the place. I just know when someone awakened enters."

[Mulcarn]

Strawberry looks confused. "Doll... I did not mask you, there was nobody else that can sense the astral. I assense anyone within half a mile from the place. I just know when someone awakened enters."

Now the smile drops from Maxwell's face as the sudden realization that Strawberry might not be as powerful as he originally hoped.  "This Joke pub is appropriately named."  Mild depression began to sink in and that vigor he was feeling earlier is now gone.  "Sovereign - Lord of the Battlefield, more like Lord of the Morons."  Maxwell then flatly speaks: "Look if you could uhh pay me back my bar tab I can work some actual MAGIC and get that Venom jackoff fired."

[gilga]

@Sovereign She smiles at you as if you are a little boy, and say nothing. After an awkward silence she say"I am going to take a bath- there are wonderful water here..." You notice that she bluntly ignores the thought of giving you the money back. If you think about it for a moment, most of this money does not even go to her pocket. She is clearly in bed with the Yaks, and refuse to openly betray Venom even  she really hate the guy.  She turns her back to you and with a couple of quick moves her dress drops down is if the thing was not even connected. Without looking at you she enters the bath and you find yourself delaying for longer than you wanted on her perfect ass.

[Mulcarn]

"Abso-fucking-lutely beautiful, what a god dammed waste of time."  Once Strawberry was out of view Maxwell shakes his head in frustration and laments over his short comings.  "Maybe I can still salvage this run, assuming that chop doc didn't leave me here."  Maxwell notices the window that Strawberry mentioned and decides his best bet is to leave and try to reconvene with his phantom partner.  Lazily walking over to the window Maxwell opens it and hops through it onto the grounds below.

@Serge - As you start searching the vegetation behind the club you notice a wet puddle. It hasn't rained lately, carefully touching the puddle you are certain that it is blood. You cannot see her, but you are certain that the lady you seek is somewhere on that tree.

After finding the 'puddle' of blood, Serge starts looking around the tree trying to locate the woman's body and, if located, a safe method of getting her down for first aid treatment.


Perception to try and locate: 10d6.hits(5)=3
Spend 1 Edge for reroll of failures: Not stellar for a reroll, but it helps. 7d6.hitsopen(5, 6)=3

Total 6 hits

[gilga]

@Sovereign you hear a soft whisper "Strawberry... get you ass over here." when you lift you head you can see Venom. He now looks a bit upset saying "Well sexing him up did not work he is trying to escape. Get out of the darn bath".
You can see that Venom and some other person are running toward you.

@Serge, she somehow managed to place herself about 8 meters off the ground on one of the tall branches.  You'll have to climb up to get her. You also notice that Venom started running, but not toward you and you cannot miss the fact that someone just jumped of the second floors window.

[All4BigGuns]

On locating the woman's bleeding, unconscious form and noticing the individual running, the doctor immediately sets his priorities to the unconscious woman and begins attempting the climb the tree to recover her.


Not positive, but I think Gymnastics handles climbing.

9d6.hits(5)=0

Edge to reroll failures: 9d6.hitsopen(5, 6)=3

[gilga]

@Big guns, climbing is difficult but after several minutes of hard work you find yourself near the body at the top branches. It's life signs are weak and it is still losing blood.

@Max - Venom grabs you with all his might, you quickly find yourself crushed to ground by the sheer weight of the orc unable to move.

[Mulcarn]

With the bulk of the ork and the might of his strength slamming into you.  Maxwell finds himself in desperate need of his elemental servant right about now.  "INFERNO!!! COME TO ME AND KILL THIS DREKHEAD."
