It's too bad Rose is not with Echo, she would have been able to build one hell of a wheelchair for Rowena, it would have helped in situations like this ^^

Anyway, take care...while Cynthia enjoys her dreams :P

There's a problem with the dates in Echo, Eva & Cynthia threads: the evening at the Dante was sunday 10th, we spent maybe one hour or two on Monday 11th, and now we're tuesday 12th.

Who stole an entire day?

Sorry.  Thanks for the catch.  Too tired.  I will fix the date back to Monday.

Just a little something regarding Jeremiah's healing:
The good news is that you're supposed to add the rating of the medkit to your pool, subtracting one since you're indoors but not in a sterilized med facility.

The bad news however, is that if you are trying to "heal" her, you can only apply first aid at most one hour after the damage was taken:
Quote from: CRB, p205
First Aid can only be used if you have a medkit (even if you do not currently have supplies for it), and it may only be applied within 1 hour of when the damage was taken.
Since she was probably tortured by the mercenaries to find Bryant/Rowena/Barbara (shame on them by the way, not protecting the doc!) before they attacked the gangs, it would be 36 hours ago... Could be after for another reason of course, but I doubt it would be less than an hour (even with a large margin)

So it can probably be considered as a stabilization (even if strico sensu, stabilization is to stop overflow damage, which occurs every Body minutes). Good news is the threshold is 3, so even if you have a medkit with a rating of 1, your roll is enough. But she will need to be taken to your doc' friend before she can tell you anything I suppose.

Oh and I'm impressed by Eva's restraint. I expected her to flip out when she learned that Sylvia was employed by Tanya, thinking that their relation was some kind of plot or something...

Teach us more, oh wise guru, Stuttr loves him some rules.  We are pretty new to 5th ed and we only dabbled in 4th unfortunately.  So we are way behind the times.  Let me know if I'm glossing over the chemistry rules.  I was really going for a kind of breaking bad motif when I set up Lizzie and I think I'm doing it all correctly.  mostly I'm looking at chrome flesh though so if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.  If you are even following my story line I don't think I have anything to do with you guys at all yet.

Well, for chemistry, it's much easier for us: there are no rules, unless you want to make custom drugs (Chrome Flesh, p190). But for the drugs you want to make, nothing.
I suppose you could use the rules for Building & Repairing (with the modifiers p146, CRB) but it's not really made for this. And absolutely nothing is said regarding base materials you'd need, to compute costs, margins, etc. So it's pretty much up to the GM. It would be more important if we wanted to roll dice for every single thing, or if we wanted to know how much you make, but since we don't... It's a nice justification of the fact that we earn 2000 nuyens per 2 IC posts, so...

As for your storyline, I read it as all the other ones, and there's a link with Eva and Rose through Sian. Not a big one yet, but both of them know Sian.

well yeah but I think I'm going to start making a whole heck of a lot more than that..  I would think it would be something akin to a chemistry 6 1 hour extended test per batch.  I would imagine standard ingredient costs would be around 10% of the street value.  But that's just me.  I suppose if it comes up I'll deal with it then.

That's too bad, I was wondering what little miss breaking bad was going to do next.

Bliss and Ex maybe, but Cram doesn't look like a party drug.
And you don't exactly sell drugs out of the goodness of your heart :o

Just a quick reminder, should it help Echo:
Cynthia sends a copy of the footage she got.
Footage concerning the mercenaries and their ongoing operation of course.

Quick question, in Washington Rec, Echo spent an Edge to get the drop on the gunmen.  I am seriously concerned that he is going to be outclassed against these guys, as my implants are primarily Cyberlimbs, and I didn't have the Yen or the Essence to buy decent Initiative Boosters.  So I can see a fair amount of Edge use in the coming engagement, so just curious if I am going to start that combat scene at 4 Edge, due to previous expenditure, or at my normal Edge of 5.

Hell, I am halfway considering dropping the 30 Karma to up my Edge to 6.  Heh.

And speaking of Karma, my latest post was #134 if my count is right, as such that's 67 Karma earned there, plus an additional 6 for starting Karma and O.P. posts, for a total earned of 73.  That's Street Cred of 7, already, is that correct?  Also, do I have some Notoriety knocking that down due to my massively hunted Status?

You regain one point of edge for every good night, which you did at least once if I'm not mistaken. Which means that even with a strict interpretation of rules, you have your 5 points of edge.
And given the nature of the game (ie. pbp), edge is refreshed more often. But well, here I can't tell you much more than that of course ^^

And yep, 73 karma is 7 in street cred. I don't know for notoriety but there may be some Public Awareness too.

Speaking of karma, curious I looked a bit at the sheets on OP: Rose's sheet is really out of date (I don't really want to count since the posting of mails is mudding things though ^^), but on Eva it's the opposite, there is too much karma. It's not critical since it's not spent karma, but it's quite a bit:, probably because Vegas counts 1 karma / IC I think. Instead of 70 karma earned in Eva & Cynthia thread, it's 42.5 karma (for 85 IC as of reply #375), and on Eva thread, I didn't check to see if there were OOC posts, but the thread sits at 364 replies so it should be around 182 for Vegas, which translates to 91 karma...and not the full 182.
