Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking concerning the talismonger shop and the Daughters (incorrectly referred to earlier as "Sisters").

As for splitting up, well, that's never a good idea in Lagos      (foreshadowing)

I'll probably be reasonably save, being native and all that.  But on another question: you put in your post that I have 20 minutes to the scheduled meet.  How much of those do I need to get to the meeting place?  So how long I can help Eugene?

[Thermo]

The 20 minutes you have left accounts for getting to the meeting spot, so you have the full 20 minutes to help Eugene.

Being native helps you avoid the obvious sucker traps and makes you less likely to be pick pocketed, but it also means that you know just how dangerous it is in a lawless city like Lagos

11, we are on the same page, it seems crazy dave isn't called crazy without reason.

Thermo, I did not quite understood. I can of course call Dave in IC, but it might be that Sentinemodo is dumb, and Jerry got it all all right.

I got something that looks like tactical nuke. I am to open it (and probably not be blown away immediatelly) and leave it? open and do some damage? to whom? just random shoot anybody around? can i go to a desert and just put a grenade to that chest? I am to deliver the chest to Shrapnel Dawgs? Who are they? Lagos gang, igbo clan, merc company? or maybe I am to deliver mayhem to Shrapnel Dawgs....

shortly speaking I am at loss, and you made him disappear a little to soon.
a) you explain me what Jerry made out of this in ooc
b) I call him in IC
c) you edit your last post, so he stay and answer to questions

[Thermo]

What what you gathered at the meeting with Crazy Dave, he's asking you to cause enough trouble with whatever is in the package that when the rightful owner comes looking they come with a really pissed off attitude. That's why it's important to get it into the Shrapnel Dawgs' hands - a quick Marrix search shows that they're an up-and-coming arms dealer network that's in a turf war with Crazy Dave and the Blue Octopus organization.

What ever happened to the Dirt Rangers? May want to search on them in the previous IC threads if you get a chance.

[Sentinemodo]

11, while waiting for your reply ....

I think what we are asked to do is to shoot something big (a S&K local headquarters) from as much distance as possible, then run through the town and leave the package in the SD turf put some signal flare and then gtfo.

the other option we could try is to sell the package to the Shrapnel Dawgs and offer some demonstration - destroying something and gtfo just before S&K arrive.

what do you think?

Wanted to give you guys a heads up that updates will be short this week since I am on vacation and will be posting from a Blackberry. Go ahead and narrate the character stuff, we can assume that Eugene finds his uncle's shop, Hyena makes initial contact with her group, Jerry fixes his drone and has enough time for a couple datasearches, and Doc gives himself a hard time all afternoon about any and every misdeed he's ever been a part of.

[Eleven]

What does Doc T know about the relevant Mercenary Companies?

He has Mercenary Companies Knowledge Skill 2 and Intuition 3
5d6.hits(5)=2
two hits.

@ Senti - if that's it I'm down.  Actually sounds fun, racing through the city after dark.  We'll have to pre-map the route for safety's sake, and probably get the other two involved for support reasons.

Hey Guys,

I've been going through Iceblade's equipment and I've made up some lists.  First is the equipment we want to keep and who has claimed it.  There is only one contested item so far, that is the Oxyss gill.  Both doc T and Jerry have indicated they would like it.  As doc T was first, I've put it there for now, but feel free to change it.  The pocketmage library, which if I have correctly understood it, is a seperate system that interfaces with the commlink, might have survived (Thermo, your call).  If so, I've put it with Eugene for now, as he will be the one who will have to most use out of it.  If it didn't survive, I'll take it out.  I've taken the weapon focus as I'm the only one capable of using it, and I need a 'encouragement' to get my initiation go smoothly.

The remaining equipment I think survived I've put in a seperate list (Thermo, if I'm wrong, please let me know).  That's the stuff we can sell.  With the selling price 1/3 of the price given in the books, that would come down to 5500 nuyen (or 110000 naira).

Thanks the for the list, farothel! While I was not particularly interested in looting Iceblade's body, it is still helpful. You are right that Eugene would be interested in the pocketmage--in fact I would have started with it if I'd remembered such a thing existed. I guess we can let Thermo decide, but I figure the pocketmage is just software--why a separate device just to hold information?

If the detection fetish survived the blast, I'll take that too. Can't have too many fetishes! If I recall correctly, magic lodge materials are specific to the tradition, so those would be of no use to Eugene. Might also be a good idea for someone to take the extra survival kit, or at least the consumables in it. I'll take it if no one else wants it.

[farothel]

We're in Lagos: if we don't loot the body, someone else will, and they will sell the left-over parts to Tanamous as ghoul chow.

@Thermo: I've added something for my initiation.  I've put it the following morning.  If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll change.

[Thermo]

Unfortunately the pocket mage is software on the commlink, so it's toast. The lodge materials are unique to a tradition, and since Iceblade had a unique Swordmage tradition, they are only worth 10 percent of their base value.

I will allow you to sell the rest of the gear when you get a chance. Remember it's 30 percent, not 1/3, and there will be a language check prior to negotiating with a foreign buyer. Hits will avoid a further decline in value.

[Thermo]

Hyena, the meeting with your group is at 9:00 tonight (about 7 hours from now). You'll spend the night initiating.

Everyone is doing a great job setting the scene. I will be back at a real computer on Sunday and will post the results of your legwork when I am not using a blasted Blackberry like I am now. 

[Sentinemodo]

Oh how I know your pain

We have two native speakers in the group, that should be doable.  And I actually have the negotiation skill.  And Eugene's talismonger uncle might be the good place to start for the awakened items.

I'll adapt my post, probably Sunday evening or even Monday morning, as my week-end is quite busy.
