Eh, no worries. I've edited my latest IC post, striking out the bit about sneaking over to the other building.

Hank's not going to be overly willing to trust Rhino any time soon, though.

As much as Marak wants to trust a brother troll....there is a fine line lol

Crossbow which contact are you using to find info? You have a lot.

Just because I happen to have time (yay, lunch!):

(Calling the Maiden, and asking her to get us a meet with an occult investgator type that she trusts, and set up the meet somewhere else than here )

...and:

Club Owner     2/2

Cheri Ostler, the Alabaster Maiden.  She is a girl he knows. (see Seattle 2072)

Yeah, that is the one, I want her to arrange a meet for us with some kind of occult investigator type, to have them take a look at the book.  Fair compensation for arranging the meet and to the investigator for services rendered obviously

Just want to echo Marak's IC question: Serious, are you waiting on anything? I don't think anyone's got any more setup to do on the ride over to the club...

[Thvor]

Hrm...Serious didn't mention it, but I'm going to assume that if all electronics are having issues, then Hank's vision is going to be a bit on the wonky side for this meet (since his eyes are cybernetic). Assuming he's not stumbling around blind, Hank will, like the troll, sit back and keep an eye out for trouble (GM, let me know if you want me to apply a modifier to a perception roll).

And yes, I fully realize that I'm highlighting a weakness in my character and offering it as an opportunity for the GM, contrary to the standard Unwritten Player's Contract^(tm) (which reads, in part, "If the GM forgets a bonus that your character's build confers, remind him of it; if the GM forgets a penalty that your character's build confers, proceed quietly and hope he doesn't remember in time to do anything about it.") Sorry about that...guess I've spent too much time on the other side of the GM screen.

Cyber is experiencing trouble but you can work through it it's like bad signal with lines through your vision.

[Thvor]

Ok, then.

Perception roll (4 int + 4 skill +3 vision enhancement): 11d6.hits(5) = 3
And, for the fun of it, a literature knowledge roll to see if Hank knows anything about the paperback: 8d6.hits(5) = 3

[SeriousOne338]

your vision is granny so no deatiled stuff, there must be loads of people with gremlins in this place to cause this much trouble. as for the novel its hard to make out but its just a paper back mystery novel.

[Marak1972]

I may not have any chrome but this is downright weird eh. Gettin the hebbie jeebies ...... keep on full alert just in case

[SeriousOne338]

What you don't like gremlins? 

[Thvor]

Crossbow, I share Serious's curiosity about your intentions. Last I saw, Hank had locked the box up & everyone was creeped out by the book; now Smiley's carrying it into a bar, without the locks, and is about to open it up & show it to a contact's contact?

It's Smiley's meet, of course, so Hank's not going to interfere...but is this the best approach? Can't we just tell the guy what we know about the book & see if he can tell us more?

[Crossbow]

I trust my contacts, I have to, it is my thing.   That said, this is an information resource, we have to be straight with him to get what we will be paying for, the other part is the locks are anachronistic and unsubtle, carrying a box is a curiosity, if seen, but the locks would mark it as something to remember.

[Thvor]

Ooh, good point on the IC, Netz. If the books are usable independently, the Johnson may be trying to get a complete set...and failing to hand over the first would lead to him just getting the other three through other shadowrunners. We'd lose any chance of stopping whatever dark mucky-muck he's up to.
