BC only effects the Magical Attribute, but not the Intuition. Hence I don't think BC -1 should reduce Lips Ini.
Otherwise, last roll was  no hit anyway.

What about those bullet holes?
Any other sighs of the firefight inside the first room? Blood traces or drops anywhere around?

Fractal, Could you convince the mage that we are sent by the Atzlan? Looking for some spy's taken alive if possible,
calling the mage by name and using his longing for the good old times, not sure if he has been to the surface, but this might be a way in. with no fight., but not really sure he would believe Sam - who is one on his way to become a CyberZombie.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and expect nothing!

It basicaly look like the fight has ended in the first chamber. Further on, there are no traces of the previous team, nor of any kind of fight or trespass.

Calling for Fractal makes me wonder if this should be in IC.  ;D

Well, could try doing that, but this time we have almost no thing to back our claim, and not a lot of knowledge besides his name and nationality to create a convincing history.  :-\

As you walk back Eliza fills you in with details on the Wuxing expedition.

You see they were behaving like on some kind of tourist trip, I mean they seemed tense but excited, like on some kind of Sunday walk. I've heard them expedition shortly after they passed the waterfall. I've heard them talking about fighting critters, but they seemed confident. I've followed them quietly for some time. Once they crossed the “abyss” their mood changed abruptly. They started to act as though they were threatened, started talking about aborting the mission.

They kept slowing and debating. After half an hour, I was kinda bored and left them. Some two hours later I heard sounds of gunfire. Since then everything has been fairly quiet.

When I think about it I feel kinda sorry for them, but they walked like they own the place, killing everything that didn't escape, loudy...

There is a men living down the tunnel. He's name is Enrico, an Aztlaner. He built himself a small laboratory there. He said he found a quietness necessary to practice.

Few years ago, before Ghostwalker came to Denver, he used to be a funny fellow, full of tricks, even if a bit lost in his thoughts. I used to meet him often to chat about business. He used to spell out of thin air all kind of tasty food. ... and then you know Ghostwalker drove Aztech out of Denver, and they completely forgot about him. He seemed to grown more and more confused with time. After some time, we ceased to meet... I haven't seen him in two years or so ...

If you move down there. You should know that he put some spells in the tunnel. That's what scared your guys I think. Just ignore them. They are to confuse only and stave away curious people, and they rarely last more then few meters. I think they've grown a little stronger lately.... enough to keep me away.
she added quietly

Now the tricky part is that he has a pet - actually it's a hell hound. It was a really happy puppy and I called him Fofinho. He loved smoked meat. Especially if it was smoked to the point of being more coal then meat. I think it might have grown since I last seen it.

she silenced for a moment lost in thoughts

where was I .... oh yeah. When your gang'o'fools went there the shooting was heard. I don't think Enrico could have done them anything unprovoked, so they had to do something stupid. But I'm sure he only gave them a lesson, he wouldn't hurt anybody. But still, I don't think they returned since then.... I might have missed their passing however, as I didn't heard the one you brought to cross the gap....

All right. That's all I know. I hope we're even. If not I can add a cup of tea
:D she smiles beautifully.
[/spoiler]
At least we couls say we come in peace. we have not attacked yet or shown aggression against him, but he is confused.
Confused might mean we could use it for planting ideas, but also that he would not listen at all.
do we try?

You already started. I'll follow. Let's wait for an answer before proceeding.

Drone's radar taken over from the Sam on the point revealed the next room after the bedroom - it is some kind of living room chamber containing table, office desk and chairs complete with a kitchen to the right wall. This chamber also ends with a short corridor and a doors leading further.

Entering the bedroom chamber you notice that the bed is unmade, bathtub looks a little rusty and a rotten devil rat hangs from the ceiling. The air smells of spoiled meat. Most of the surfaces are covered with dust and many of them are made of fireproof materials. The opposite doors have a meter wide opening in the lower part that is covered with a leathery curtain.

Radar notices movement in the living room, but it indicated that something or someone moved out to the further chamber.

There isn't much happening on the astral side, the opaque walls block the line of sight, and the background count make travelling through the side walls uncomfortable at best for the risk of getting lost. The matrix side is also empty, with no nodes in range.

My point - We are in the room.

So the problem is not rushing or being impatient, but making best of the situation.
Fractal even got to the next room to look trough the curtains.
this is happened, there is no turning time back.
Sichr it looks like you are still standing in the room with the trapdoor in your mind, but the GM has moved us along here, so please could we get back to the story.

I guess we will, for the first time, see what this team is worth in combat.

I bet on the opposition right now.

The thing is that so far we don't know what the opposition is; it could be an awakened rabbit or the attack of the giant hogweed as far as we are concerned (and if it was, I would run as fast as I could).

Or it could be the ressurectionist bird from the Trash the Body electric mission, seeking revenge!

OK
first, impatience almost get Sam killed. Twice.
Now
It would possibly get us killed all :)
As you say, in mz imagination, I was still at that chamber with trapdoors, surveying next room with the drone (I believe the room with trap spell).. If GM jumps us forward without oportunity to get good search, what can I do. It is even possible that Mouse will return at the end of the week to find out he is the only one left to face bloodmage. Bravo.

Your drone went into the room with a trap spell. Radar has a certain range, so I am always introducing you the next chamber, that is within range. Since the doors were safe, I've allowed you a peek into the room as well as a glimpse of movement there.

It didn't took long before Netz went further to the curtain and listened to what is happening further (which is happening regardless of how long you stay in previous chambers because of what happened in the spell trap room), and Sam carried over by shouting through the doors.

If you felt jumped over without an opportunity to perform detailed search, I can understand that, but the world isn't standing still around you.

Further on, you made a search in the trapdoor room, and there was no sign (physical, matrix or astral) of them ever walking on their feet into spell trap room. There are no hidden tunnels revealed by the radar, and there were no sign earlier of them retreating anyhow. Was there anything else you wanted to search for?
Sorry for a small delay ;)
