Okay, this is probably being nit-picky, but we have an issue to deal with as far as transportation.

We currently have 2 harleys (mine, Marak's) and a Comet (again, Marak's).  Marak's sedan has never been picked up, though I would assume since we are retcon'ing the other two out of the game that we would have picked it at some point, is that a safe assumption, or have we been riding double to this point and now we have a problem to address of 5 people on 2 bikes?

This would be a good question for the team or you guys could of been using taxis sense the bar.

I can summon a force 5 air spirit and that can make me move 5 times my regular movement.  That way I can keep up with the bikes (since the spirit makes me move that fast, I just tire as if I'm moving my normal movement) until we reach the car.

[Crossbow]

That is a VERY bad idea.  We need a car

[SeriousOne338]

the team could Acquire a Car.

The man has a point.  So who's good in 'acquiring' vehicles?

Sorry I have been quiet recently...been kind of hiding from a storm. 

Hank has the skills to get into pretty much any vehicle he wants, I think, but he doesn't have the pilot groundcraft skill, so any tests with him driving would be relying solely on his reaction speed...which isn't bad, mind, but he's not the person you want driving in a chase.

All's good I hope? Been watching the news and that hurricane is giving New York a beating.

Rybka can hack most car systems into accepting her in (and they haven't yet invented a maglock she could open in less than a minute), so I guess both Hank and Rybka can do that, by different means.

But the problem remains that in a needy situation, we have no driver. We will have to trust it's Pilot system.

[farothel]

If we get something big enough to put both bikes in the back, we have two drivers (I assume both people with bikes have at least pilot groundcraft 1).  And with a storm heading our way, having a bigger car means more stability.

Yeah, we're good. I'm actually in Northern Virginia, so the storm was (by and large) north of us. We got a lot of rain over the last day and a half, but that's really about it. Never lost power. :-)

So...getting back to the game. Serious, how do you want to handle the acquisition of transport? Do you want Hank and/or Rybka to make some rolls, and then just write up what happens (or happened, if you want to put it in earlier)? Or just take it as read that we've done something about this problem?

[SeriousOne338]

I'd like to see some rolls... who knows the cops might show up. 

[Thvor]

Ok...let's see, rolls we might need to acquire a vehicle...


Technically, I think some of these should be teamwork tests, as Rybka and Hank are likely to be working together, but following those rules seems likely to just bog us down in minutiae.

Perception (looking for a likely target): 11d6.hits(5)=4
Locksmith (using the autopicker, due to a lack of skill): 7 agi + 6 autopicker: 13d6.hits(5)=5
Hardware+Logic, for maglocks (though Rybka's probably a better bet for this): 9d6.hits(5)=0 4 ones...not quite a glitch. Whew.


Ok, so Hank's not going to be dealing with the tech side of the vehicle after all. 

[SeriousOne338]

You find a nice panel van, with RockTroll Energy drink on the side. You make it pass the door lock but the onboard computer is not impressed with  hank's attempt.


So we wait for Rybka.

[Netzgeist]

Okay, so let's roll some dice:


First trying to open the maglock, with her Hardware tools:
5 (Logic) + 4 (Hardware) = 9 dice = 3 hits, no glitch
If the thing opens up, then Rybka would calmly start a nice conversation with it's internal programming, gently convincing it she really belongs there and making sure the car recognizes her as her real owner. Hacking Attempt:
6 (Hacking) + 2 (Improved Ability: Hacking) + 5 (Exploit) + 2 (Hot-sim VR) = 15 dice = 3 hits, no glitch
So depressing when a dice pool so good turns up so "meh".
