very much so, especially now the week-end is starting. 

[Thermo]

Thanks for waiting for me, guys. 

We'll have a nice update this weekend that should hopefully get things moving forward again. I know it's a bit bogged down right now and I'd like to move the story forward!

[Thermo]

Karma award!

You guys (I'm talking specifically about Jerry and Hyena) have been diligently playing for months without a karma award. Here's how I'm breaking it down.

You got to Lagos: Both of you made it to Lagos, including the interview with Jane at the exclusive club, the private plane, the layover in Egypt. You each get 5 points.

You survived the first combat: Both of you managed to survive your first encounter with the locals, and you managed to keep your (and Jane's) face off of the grid. You each get 5 points.

Good roleplaying: You've both done a great job staying in character. Jerry, the sarcastic bitter little dwarf, and Hyena, the world-wise and battle ready guide. You each get 5 bonus points.

Doc T and Eugene:

You managed to stay interested in the game while I was out ordering hits on beavers and you will be continuing on into Lagos. I'm giving you each 3 points for being good sports about being thrown into combat and managing to stay in character and walk out with the rest of the team.


Let me know what you'd like to spend your points on; Hyena, you mentioned that you wanted to grab Iceblade's sword (he has two), you'll need to spend some points to bind them.

The next phase of the mission will be to explore the marketplace and start making contact with the locals. I'll give you until tomorrow until I post the next in-character piece that advances the setting from the hanger into the bright, beautiful, dangerous world of Lagos.

the sarcastic bitter little dwarf

LOL

Doc will bank the Karma.

[eighth circuit]

Gonna bank the Karma for now. How will you handle character improvement? Will we need to spend time training, studying, etc?

At this point is it time to start searching Lagos, or are there anymore initial preparations to make? I assume Jerry is going to want to find some kind of vehicle. Although, if he can get that backpack full of drugs back to Seattle he'll make a hefty profit without doing much work.

[farothel]

I would like to initiate if the GM lets me?  More power in case we hit a mana ebb.

[Sentinemodo]

Actually, I'd hate see good resources go to the pyre, or let the local scavengers get them. Sepcifically that there is quite a few items, I could use. Namely:

Moonlight is the name of Mirikon's katana sword-cane, which has been customized to his designs. The blade appears to blue-white hue, and, when viewed in AR, glowing sperethiel runes can be seen, naming the blade. In addition, the AR overlay constructs a 'trail' of white light in the path the sword takes that lingers for a couple seconds. The hilt has been molded to fit his hand perfectly.

Flamekissed is the name of Mirikon's ceramic knife, which has been customized to his designs. The blade appears to have a reddish hue, and is razor sharp. When viewed through AR, the blade is constantly wreathed in fire whenever it is drawn, and glowing sperethiel runes can be seen, naming the blade. The hilt has been molded to fit his hand perfectly, and the knife has been enchanted as a Sustaining focus.

@Thermo -
  Do you want us to update our character sheets each time we fire rounds or get money, or would you prefer that we make changes at certain times with your blessing?

[Sentinemodo]

Don't forget about Jerry's permission. You don't want to fuck with that little piece of a dwarf and we had some unfinished issues over that commlink.

Faro and I don't want to be too rude about those sharp sticks but You better share The nuyen You get from the sale.

We're a team or we are solos. You've seen how solos end up.

[All4BigGuns]

Been seeing some of your discussion on those foci, and while I know that I'm not in the game, I thought I'd offer the suggestion to (with Mirikon's permission) give at least one of those foci to another Awakened team member rather than just trying to sell off all of them. That's just something that I've always felt was a good idea that could encourage party cohesion.

[Eleven]

Didn't read Senti's spoilers.  I'd be happy to take what he isn't interested in, particularly the Whiskey.
