Oh, and Crossbow--didn't Smiley bring the book into the diner?

Pst, Marak: have you noticed that anytime you make an uncalled for perception roll, something happens? Gangers spying on us at the warehouse, Mr. Scary Man, etc.?

When you do something like that, you're pretty much asking for the GM to throw something at us. And he seems very willing to take you up on it. Might be better to just take it as read that we 'runners are normally alert, and let him decide when to call for perception checks...

I want to see how many times I can make nothing bad happen when he makes those checks then I could for say make the regulars start shooting at you the cops walk in on it. followed by them all turning to zombies for the fun of it. 

AKA STOP WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO JUMP YOU GET ON WITH THE STORY!

I'll move on as soon as I have the assensing information I just rolled, but my character is not going in it blindly.  And also I'm not going to make the decision on what we're going to do, being new to the team and all that.

Oh that was not for you its just he really really likes looking around so something has to happen.

Well in that case

Serious--is the common sense test just pure intuition? I'm used to attribute tests involving two attributes which are added together, and want to make sure I roll the right number of dice.

Of course, Hank's INT is only 4...getting three hits on that would be impressive.

Edit: Noticed that I'd typo'd my character's name. Oops.

[SeriousOne338]

Its not a big deal thing, its mainly about connecting some timing together.

Hrm...just went digging through the original IC thread. It doesn't look like the delivery meet-up was spelled out there. I'm assuming it's information we would have gotten from the Johnson, so...@Serious: when and where are we supposed to meet Mr. J. to complete our deal? How much time do we have before then?

@Team: Mr. J. said that we'd find the link in "a locked suitcase"; when we actually looted the convoy, it was described as a "metal container"; we've been using the terms crate, box, and case ever since then, if my memory serves (too lazy to check). Sounds like we can plausibly state that we didn't find the suitcase we were sent for.

@Netz: my assumption was that when Rache snapped the box shut and handed it back to Smiley, she'd put the book back first. Wouldn't make much sense to do that if she were still holding it.

You have to call him back, sorry forgot to post that info, by midnight tonight you have about 3 hours until that time.

If the storm is as bad as i start suspecting it is, we might be able to delay a bit.

[farothel]

now we just have to see if I can get out of it.

I read the rules on astral travel so you book it, safe and sound.  I was looking forward to trapping you in combat and  scaring the other player half to death as the mages skin is cut by phantom hands.


So now what are you guys going to do? Stay in the dinner? Call mister Johnson? buy some Charcoal lighter and have a bonfire with the book? Tell Smiley and Rybka to get a room?

I wasn't sure, which is why I didn't post immediately.

I'm all in favour of option 3, burn the book and tell Mr. J we didn't find anything.  That the convoy was probably a decoy and that there wasn't any commlink, except those of the guards, but we didn't take those.
