@DireRadiant, does Saint discover anything from reading the attached files? He scored 2 hits.

I have a question about a possible "house" rule. In one of my groups, we have it where you can use your body or strength in an intimidation test, because it allows for characters who are physically intimidating (such as Exile would be) to actually strike fear into people. Or at the very least, allow it to add dice to the pool of the person actually performing the intimidation. Mr. Smith can talk the big talk, but he doesn't actually look that intimidating. However, with someone like Exile standing right behind him, the threats would seem all that more real.

@ DireRadiant I just noticed you've started posting 2Fresh's timestamps as 10.02, when it should still be 10.01

MY screwup, confusing myself! I'll edit.

Mr Smith wouldn't need a House Rule. If you look at the Social Modifiers table p.131 SR4A youc an see Mr Smith could get +1 - +3 for Physically Imposing, and +2 for outnumbering if appropriate.

That's it, make sure to keep reminding me if I miss something.

Perusing the files you think it is more likely a pair of Barghests than Hell Hounds.

In the IC posts, wrap dice rolls/ test requests in a spoiler tag at the bottom of the post.

In Debt is always paid of with Karma. You can claim the money you pay for help is to pay off your debt, but then The Armadillo may claim you owe more for not stopping the damage to begin with. Not fair, but that's what being In Debt is like.

Just to clarify. I'm not trying to buy off qualities.  The concept for the character was that no one actually said he has to pay them back at all, he just has it in his head that he owes them and isn't willing to compromise on that. I don't intend to buy off the qualities unless his relationship with the group changes. I'm talking about my monthly "interest payment" (I think 1000 nuyen) and the "work" schedule (I think 10 hrs/week).

I'll updated the dice request.

Also, my hope was that I could get some info specifically on the person who was in charge of the group that came through (not all 405s, just the most important guy who came into the bar). I would especially want to get where he lives from the data search.

What are the chances Jack could get us some Paranormal Hunter's License's as part of the reward for doing his mission?

[DireRadiant]

@bmoham The interest rate and the day job amount is up to you, those figures sound reasonable to start with. The leading figure that night was Junior "Basset" Delaney, of 11250 Southeast 6th Street, Bellevue, WA

Billy's accessid is currently at Club Vegas in Puyullap. Jenever may also know that Billy probably has a place to sleep at Club Vegas.

I was wondering if the job is done on Sunday already? So that I know how I can react on Jacks request to help the Armadillo.

[DireRadiant]

Feel free to describe whatever you think your surveillance of Billy will show. You may assume Billy won't notice, or will act as if she doesn't notice, and performs whatever you think a AR Casino Hostess in Puyullup will do over the weekend. No event should arise that requires Jenever to do anything other then record what happens and pipe the feed to Vegas.

The current link to my character sheet is a base form, I've made one that I'll be using to update for this campaign.

Meant to post this yesterday, but there was a power outage here. May be another one tonight, it is storming and the lights have flickered a couple times.

- 300 (10% fixer's fee (rounding up to the nearest hundred) to Jense for hooking Benny up with the first job)
- 750 (getting a Spoof Chip installed in his Novatech commlink, assumes discrete installation would add 50% to the purchase cost)

Remaining Funds: 1920
Banked: 1600

sway's post brings up an interesting point, specifically the part about his fixer's cut. I've almost always played in games where fixers are paid headhunter fees by the Johnson, its been rare for the fixer to be paid by the runners. How do you plan on running it Dire?
