@Aria:

Some more rolls for Copperhead.

Looking for bug (simple):
Int 3 + Per 1 + Vision Enh. 3 + Actively looking 3 = 10d6.hits(5)=5 - there it is!

Shooting at bug (simple):
Agi 3 + Shotgun 4 + Smartlink 2 = 9d6.hits(5)=1 - not such a good shot, damage 7P, -5AP (APDS is loaded)

Doubt that's going to do much to it. Pity those rolls weren't reversed.

Assuming bug is still at range next round, shooting at bug (twice):
Agi 3 + Shotgun 4 + Smartlink 2 = 9d6.hits(5)=1, 9d6.hits(5)=2 - not much better. Here's hoping Twitch and Requiem can shoot better than her.

If bug closes to melee:
Agi 3 + Cyber implant 4 + reach 1 = 8d6.hits(5)=3, damage 4P (hand razors)

They probably can shoot better but I don't think there's any need - you just wasted the micro drone that was snooping towards you - BANG!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Not sure that'll give them the reasurance you were looking for but ah well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

Oops! Guess she's just a little twitchy around bugs. Ah well, keeps the story interesting.

@ears: just making sure you saw the post for mark as well, it was at the bottom of the last page so very easily missed.

@OGDWD:
Damn, yeah missed it. Just like poor Sil.

And a first aid roll for the poor guy:
Logic(7) + First Aid(1) + Medkit(6) - Poor Conditions(2) = 12 dice, yielding 3 hits, no glitch
So, that heals 1P, which was the max anyway (Skill 1).

Next up: The Retreat. Unless someone comes looking.

as in you are gtfoing or going in to kill the guy on your own? Just a reminder that Sil is a made man, and you are nearly as well. And Sil's perception was a huge glitch lol, hence the monowire face scouting.

Heh, considered to gtfo, but there is this tiny problem about our employer you mentioned. Still don't like to have him lying around in the middle of the garden, all alone and bleeding like.

Assuming nothing further happens, I'll just write up a post about helping Sil back to the car and going back in alone.

heh, what is blood between a few ritual friends >>

also can i get 3 new perception checks and infiltration tests after that mishap.

Exactly, the gardener might wonder why the grass has turned red, but otherwise nobody'll care. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

So, I rolled and the gods of luck said:

Perception: 1 hit, 2 hits, 1 hit
Infiltration: 2 hits, 2 hits, no hits
Well, at tleast there was no glitch.

Kk and the gods of luck said hey you better be careful, the grass over by the sand gardens seems to glint a bit oddly. From where you are you can see that the door is indeed blinking green and red, classic sign of a scrambled lock. Youll get to the door ok.

@OGDWD:
Given the @Fortune's forecast/James post, you got me wondering who's gotten himself into more trouble, Adrian or Mark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Anyway, into the lion's den...

Heh, we'll have to see wont we now? I have a few pc/npcs of my own that ill be posting with such as james and the fun thing with them is that its not metagaming but sometimes as long as you read but dont meta youll see behind the scenes stuff in this good old world of ours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can see that I need to reply to the E:PL Chi Town thread for Copperhead and Fortune's Forecast with Scratch, anyone on the E:PL UK thread waiting on me as it seems to have gone quiet? If I don't hear anything I'll try and get something going later...?!?

EDIT: @Mordred, you haven't answered my question before I move things along...and does anyone else on the UK thread want to add anything...?



Thanks

Actually, I replied a couple days ago. Mordred is sending a message to Nicholas Lui. I should have made that more clear, but the dragon spirit is his "primary" mentor, in this case.

Oops, sorry, turn of the page, will sort something on Monday!

If you have a Chinese linguasoft or lang skill you can attempt to translate those whispers ears.

If by "Chinese" you mean "Italian" then yes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Seeing as he won't start searching for a translation soft right now, I'll have him hit 'record' on his comm to at least capture part of it for later analysis.
Other than that:
- Does he have to go past on his way to the next flight of stairs?
- How many people are talking? Men, Women, mixed?

Want any roll with that? (Reaction to see how much of the conversation is captured, maybe?)

roll for the recording to see how much you snagged. just 1 d6 pls. 2 voices both male and no you dont have to pass to get to the stairs, the light is on the left hand hallway of the square and if you remember the other stairs are on the other side of the square (right side)

1d6 is a 3

Will try and sneak on, then.

one more infiltration test before you get to the top please ears

And once again, Agility (5) + Infiltration (1) = 6 dice, yielding a pretty uneventful (luckily) 2 hits and no glitch

Assuming he gets out alive, I think I know where I'll put the first 10 Karma. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

rats God likes you apparently, you make it to the top of the stairs no problem. Ill have to put up the post then.

Well, as the saying goes, there's three types of luck: bad, blind and dumb. I just hope it's the latter.

Minor thing: There's no Carmelo, the Carm I referred to in an earlier IC post is Carmela, a street doc; Mark's and Silvio's boss is Johnny.

Im retarded, all the names I have to keep track of... will edit that lol.

Need you to roll suprise once you get to the door and also which route do you take to get there?

Heh, I got to look up the names all the time too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

So, the surprise test yields three hits, no glitch.

As for route, "The goal lay straight up and around to the left...", sounds nice, not too scenic though.
