Working on it, though...any suggestions would be appreciated. Looking at giving Woofer Dodge (up to 3, I'll make the rolls later) but that's still only 14 karma, and have some left.)

How much you got left? Boosting Reaction, Agility or Body is always good.

[Sludig]

22 karma, I was thinking a stat, but three short for Body (need 25) or 30 for agility.  Reaction might be a way to go and bump it to 4 with 20 karma.

[Kontact]

Acting first can be really important.

[Sludig]

here are my rolls, first two are just to get Dodge 1

4d6.hits(5)=1
4d6.hits(5)=1

now for Dodge 2:
4d6.hits(5)=1
5d6.hits(5)=3

And now...Dodge 3:
6d6.hits(5)=3
6d6.hits(5)=3

And last...raising reaction to 4, which is 34 karma, leaving me with two.

Ok so some more contacts to add.

Bessie Mae....shes still comatose but might recover one day.  If she is able to somehow communicate though..(like through a mind probe or mind link) then she'd be a C3 L 3 contact.

Jeshua....C1 L5 contact.

Bird Bear House.  C5 L1 group contact.

Spiderman specifically is a C4 L3 contact.

Also a word on Street Cred and Notoriety....im handling that differently than how its done in SR4A where its linked to total Karma earned....Each of you will get 2 points of Street Cred which reflects the last adventure and the contact you had with Fastjack. 

B.B. also does have the pay data from the pearl tongue.  This would be just the total you get from selling off little pieces of blackmail info here and there.  We'll make it worth 1d6x1000 nuyen....Kontact rolls it.

@Woofer--

For each month in training roll a composure test (Will plus Charisma) with a threshold of 1.  Every month you fail you basically sleep walk and when you wake up you have lost 1 point of essence.  If you go to zero then we gotta talk man!

[Sludig]

Here's my composure test....

5d6.hits(5)=3

btw...how much did we get total divided  up? Nuyen wise.

Germaine gave us the other half of the fee, which came out to 12,500¥ total. We can also split the paydata that B.B. got when he rolls it up.

[Walks Through Walls]

Ok I have a question. If I raise my magic and take more adept abilities I will be able to cast force 6 spells then without overcasting if I understand correctly.

Am thinking of raising magic just a matter of which area to use it in. Also looking at raising edge (I seem to need luck at times) 

Also thinking about initiating again so nothing is set in stone. Do we have any idea when Inca is thinking of starting the next part of the adventure?

[inca1980]

I wanna start when i'm able to sit down and write with the full attention it deserves...so i actually do have really good internet connection here in Peru, but i think its best to start it up once i get back to the states around June 15 or so.

The game time between adventures according to Mercedes training rolls is going on 7 months now I think....so unless anyone rolls anything longer than that, then that should be the approximate amount of time.  That's gonna mean 7 lifestyle costs for everyone.  If you downgrade lifestyle, just to make lifestyle mean something more concrete gamewise, let me know how you're changing your lifestyle and there will probably be a roll involved to not face some kind of adversity or advantage. 

[Kontact]

We can also split the paydata that B.B. got when he rolls it up.

I was planning to just give it to my Databroker/fixer to help keep my contacts happy.  It's some pretty hot data, what with being connected to the complete slaughter of a yakuza brothel.

1d6 → [1] = (1)


Well... that's 250 yen apiece.  Must be getting a tiny cut of the profits.

Basic message sent with the data:
"Got hands on some hot, hot data.  It's got its uses, but it's tied to a bit of a massacre.  Not my fault, by the way.  Regardless, this bunraku parlor was keeping records of all its financial transactions, and I got their books.  You'll probably want to sit on it for a while and wait for the heat to fall off it, but there's gotta be some Johnnies in there worth shaking down.  Might even be able to put the spurs to the Yakuza for keeping records at a place where a dude is paying 1500 yen just for anonymity.  It's yours to do with as you please.  I'm way too close to this thing to work it personally, but I'd appreciate a piece of the action you manage to squeeze out of it.  Stay in touch, MM."

[Walks Through Walls]

OK I have some of my karma spending figured out.

Learning mindlink spell:
9d6.hits(5) → [6,3,5,3,1,3,3,2,4] = (2)
9d6.hits(5) → [1,5,5,2,3,1,5,2,6] = (4)
day 2 success

Learning thought recognition spell:
9d6.hits(5) → [6,2,2,3,1,2,5,1,6] = (3)
9d6.hits(5) → [4,2,6,3,5,5,5,1,6] = (5)
day 2 success

I'm going to track down a heal spell formula
10d6.hits(5) → [3,3,4,6,3,1,4,1,5,4] = (2)
10d6.hits(5) → [5,3,6,6,6,1,2,1,5,1] = (5)
2 day success and 500 nuyen

Now to learn the heal spell:
9d6.hits(5) → [5,3,6,2,3,3,6,4,5] = (4)
9d6.hits(5) → [2,2,1,3,4,5,6,1,5] = (3)
2 day success.

So now I've spent 15 karma. I would like to initiate again if Inca says it is alright. I'm also going to look for a magic group if possible. If we go 7 months I will run out of money on month 5 so I need to know how to handle the lifestyle degradation.

If this is alright then I will update my character sheet.

I could spoof you a medium lifestyle with two day's work.  So long as the electric company thinks it was paid, they won't turn off your lights.

Alternately, we could pool some cash and buy a used tour bus!  The Ford-Canada Buffalo RV will sleep 6.  Team bus!  And since Brian will be up all night coding or watching trids every night, he can make sure Woofer doesn't wander off.

Also, guys, don't forget edge for these tests.  If you can save a month's work by spending a point of edge, you should do so.  Half a year is a long, long time.

I was considering that, but how often does Edge refresh during down time? I was also looking at the Rush rules, but that would've had me critical glitch a couple of tests.

[Kontact]

Up to the GM of course, but I'd expect edge refreshes at least once at the end of downtime, so you can spend up to your attribute for doing things like adding dice or negating glitches, and still have full edge when the next mission starts.  It's worth it for sure on any extended test that takes a month or more.

[inca1980]

Yeah, you guys can get one edge pool for the down time and then it'll refresh at the beginning of the adventure.

@Walks

I don't have my books.  What's the base cost for initiating from grade 1 to 2?  You could choose an ordeal and find a group.  The group would necessarily have dues i'll say.  Write the group up according to street magic and we can agree upon an ordeal. 

@Woofer

Remember you need to make a composure test for each month of downtime....so that's 7 months so far....7 composure tests.
