Yes, he did. I've pulled my earlier post about the auto-picker, as that won't happen until Teddy gets rid of the ward, and that won't happen if Tach's paranoia wins out.

Yes, i was acting right away, still in the van. Having a ward on the box is like having an RFID tag on it. The people could find us anytime and we don't want to lure them to our hiding place, do we? Also fighting the ward would not automatically open the box or mess anything up.

If its not a Force 10+ Ward it should be gone after those two rounds of attacks, though i wait for a GM call.

So you're going to ignore the wishes of the person driving the vehicle you're in, who happens to have three drones armed with machine guns on standby?

Well, your wishes were only not to open the box. Since your AI knows so much about wards, it should also know that it wouldn't do any harm. Also your AI heard me saying it, but he didn't see me take any action, just leaning back in the seat.

So we have an AI and a mage both getting butt-hurt and suddenly Teddy has bailed on us?  Not cool, says I. 

*tossing in two copper coins*

Tachi has every reason in the world to be antsy, not saying that threatening someone with machine gun fire is a great way to promote trust and harmony, but it is good and accurate roleplay.  The fact that he relented after being appropriately talked "in off the ledge" is an indication that he wants the team to succeed.

Teddy and, to an extent, Hank, were both unprofessional to ignore the rigger wishes.  I underatand their reasons, but that is a fact.

Let's chalk the whole thing up to first time jitters and a new group, okay?

So ready for an IC update or are we still waiting to figure out where to open it at?

Well, I think we're planning on heading to Smiley's contact's safehouse & opening it there, at this point. No one else has suggested anything different.

But it would be nice to at least have confirmation on the result of Lethe's rolls vs. the ward before we go on.

apology missed this post, yes the ward is gone it was not something massive. Appears to be more of a last minute addition to the case.

hahahhaha, going to make thvor sweat for a time while I figure out what to put in the box.

Bastard. 

[Thvor]

Hrm...an old necromantic tome. Yeah, I can see that being a "commlink"...and I can also see us sealing it back up in that crate, handing it over, and not mentioning it again. <shudder>

Serious, did Teddy pick up any sort of magical vibe from the gold when he was assensing? Or am I just being paranoid?

[SeriousOne338]

No they are clean probably just found with the book.

[Lethe]

That could be at least part of our payment. If i remember correctly, we didn't find any gold with it. :-)

[Netzgeist]

Gold, what gold?

[Thvor]

Who said anything about gold? I'm sure if we'd found some gold, I'd remember it, but...nope, nothing. Just a big box with chains around it. Since it seemed so light, we opened it up to make sure we'd grabbed the right thing, found a book, and carefully left it alone. Must be a really important book to merit such a big, strong box.

Aw, guess Serious missed my post about trying to sneak over into the building the gangers were in.

Ah, well. Hopefully they were just story decoration, and won't come back to haunt us.

OH sorry, well getting to them would be hard 100 yards away and then there's the sneaking through the building the warehouse where you guys are at has only two enterences and tall wall around it. so sneaking out without serious camo tech or magic your going to be seen.
