@Thermo:

So do the knowledge skill, perception, and assensing rolls.  For the spells, usually people don't mess too much with the strange and obscure methods occultists use once they've hired them.   The foci won't bring too much attention either, especially with all the mana flying everywhere.  Cast the spells and take the drain.  Whatever drain you suffer carries over, so you can recast if you don't get what you want but you have to live with the drain. 

Your spirit can access whatever place you're at regardless of wards.

Sooo anyone have any ideas on how to pull this off? Some brainstorming ideas:

One thought I had was to use Con to convince the other two illusionists to do something at the same time as me, like it's part of the show. Maybe I can convince them to turn invisible at the same time as me (again, as part of the show), and once we're all invisible I can blast the target. Might make it harder for the guards to figure out what's going on before it's too late.

Or, if I can convince them to make some other kind of distraction as part of the show it might buy me the second or two I need to pull off the hit.

If any of you have flash bangs or similar it might be interesting to drop them from the balcony to stun everyone and provide a good distraction (either before OR after the hit). We'd have to make sure Storm doesn't get caught in the blast or she might not make it out.

@Thermo:
Just remember that Levitate spell moves you at Force x spellcasting net hits meters/turn and it's 50m up.  So say you cast a force 5 and got 5 hits.  The threshold for the spell is 1 for just a person, so that would be 4 net hits, meaning 20 m/CT.  So it would still take 2 CT's and 1 IP for you to levitate to the skylight. 

@Everyone:
You can rappel at (20m+ climb test hits)/IP.  So you would definitely be on the ground in 3 IP's.  It takes a Simple Action to rappel and you can shoot and defend while rappelling for a -2. 

It's up to you guys to decide if top down is better than bottom up. 

One thing I did forget!!
There is a big stain-glass window at floor level on the wall opposite the wall with the ballroom doors...i.e. the west wall.  From the floor plans that goes out on to a balcony.  Right next to that window is a door which goes out to the balcony so that dancers can get some fresh air out there. 

Look at the updated map.

Inca, I got all my prep rolls done in the IC thread (including several legwork rolls), Storm managed to get hit with 1S DV drain. If she were to stop sustaining the spell she's actively maintaining (i.e. anything not using a sustaining focus) could she manage to find an hour before the show to hang out and relax so she could try to recover the Stun damage?

[Thermo]

Inca, would you allow Storm to try and Negotiate some additional stuff for the mission? For starters, it would be nice to have some good fake SIN's for all 4 members of the team; I'd imagine that the Johnson would be interested in this in any case, just to make sure nothing gets traced back to him (especially since everyone had to enter Tir). He could even give Storm one on a dummy commlink for her to conveniently leave behind so they think the hit was an inside job.

[Sichr]

Ill be ready to read IC and think about something tomorow after audit in the work

[SeriousOne338]

So I take it I am on the roof. Hiding and keeping an eye open on the local security net?

[inca1980]

@Serious:
Yep

@Thermo:

You have to stay with the drain damage.  I'll IC the results of your knowledge rolls. 


@Everyone:

In terms of getting gear, that should be taken care of in between UB's as much as possible.  For things that specifically would be used on this run, i'll let you make some availability rolls with you or with contacts and if you can get the item in less than 1 week then i'll let you buy it, with 5%xconnection rating extra cut for the contact if you use one. 

Let me know what your plan is guys

[Thermo]

What about negotiating for fake SIN's? I'm assuming that Storm needed a fake SIN to get the job (and that she's broadcasting one right now) so security can keep track of people

[Sichr]

Thats my case also...asIve posted in last post in past UB IMO, looking for fake SIN cca r4. But IMO that is not important for this misson, and IDN if I need something else but this (Yes, I was thinking about foraarms guard etc.)

[inca1980]

@Thermo:
The fact that you had a totally legit Tir SIN was one of the reasons you were able to get hired.  You got the SINner negative quality so it's gonna be a bit of a drag for you.  You'll just have to clean up later with a good fake SIN after the run to try and attach your biometrics etc. to a new name....even the best fake SINs though can't scrub everything.

[Thermo]

I am doing a wetwork run using my real SIN???

That's not good...

Better sell my timeshare in the Tir mountains, something tells me I won't be back for quite some time...

[SeriousOne338]

So two quick questions:
1- Where in Tir Taingire are we?
2- We do have a safe house right?

[Teyl_Iliar]

I can answer #2. We don't have to worry about those details, this is usually just GM setup, PC positioning and pre engagement tactical stuff, some reverse legwork, killing/dying, GM controlled escape.

@Brick:
Well, we used to say 1 month in between UB's...so let's just go back to that.  That should also give you time to acquire the cyberware and get the surgery. 


From the table on pg. 128 of Augmentation, based on the essence cost it says that the implant is a minor procedure and will deal 3P damage.
The extended test for the surgery is the doctors Medicine + Logic (4, 1hour) so we won't even roll that.  The damage also will take you like a day to heal up so we won't even worry about it. 

For a cost of 9000 nuyen the interval for the Availability test is 2 days.  If a contact gets that for you then all you need to roll is training your Infiltration.  Doc Watson is a contact for you so i'll say that she/he'll do the surgery and get you the gear for a discount of 8800 nuyen. 
,
So don't worry about the availability roll.  Just roll for training your Infil: Intuition + Current Skill level (6, 1 week)


@Everyone:
That's 1 month of lifestyle costs if you've been in past UB's

After paying for my new cyberware implant I've got 3,067 nuyen left on hand, -2,000 leaves me with 1,067 after rent.

Brick working to increase infiltration 4 weeks of training tests (7d6.hits(5)=2, 7d6.hits(5)=2, 7d6.hits(5)=4, 7d6.hits(5)=3)
