I'd say let's keep going ourselves...
Post all the rolls that you think would be associated with the activities you are trying and throw an IC post that lays out a general framework for Fenris to fill in the details. He'll be back soon. Now the impetus falls on us to not go away... |

Still here as well. I got nothing but time. 8)
I'm down for moving forward ourselves as Bishop has suggested. I'll try to post IC tonight or tomorrow, but I need to wait for Redjack. |

So much for that. I figured somewhere in the middle of idly phone-flirting the day away, Billy would actually go ahead and give his Fixer a call and ask if she knew anyone going to the Expo.
The dice say "no," and "fuck you." (last die roll) |

Redjack: Sorry. To clarify, Ammon wanted to do some astral scouting before we went into the hotel, right?

Yea. Make a first pass to get a feel for barriers, spirits, occupants, layout.

All - My apologies. I had meant to update the game every week, regardless of the IC movement, but Real Life™ has unfortunately intervened. I have been ridiculously busy lately basically remodeling my entire house on somewhat short notice. I anticipate that this will continue to consume the majority of my attention until the beginning of next week. I hope to be able to pick back up on my original posting schedule at that point. I will allow a week to continue wrapping up the scene at the apartment, and then move forward with the run on the Expo.

Just a friendly reminder, but I'll be out of town and away from my usual internet access, off at Gencon 'till Sunday night.

Back from GenCon and ready to roll. My plan of action is to watch over Widget while she does her thing, then prep for the run on the expo.
How's everyone feeling? Are we ready, are there contacts that you want to call before Fenris gives us the big push? |

Alright, let's get this monster up and rolling again!
So, this week I'm wrapping up recon, next Sunday will start with the actual run. And yes, that's Sunday. I'm bumping it forward a day because my school semester is starting on Monday, and there's no way I'm going to have time to post on the first day of school ;) So, from now on, bumps on Sunday. Billy - Unfortunately Jesse won't be able to get you in. She's on her way, but passes have been sold out for weeks. It would take more strings then she can pull at the moment to get you guys in ;) Ammon and Vertigo - If you're trying to be unobtrusive, give me an Etiquette roll. I'll also need a general Perception. If Ammon is going astral, give me a separate Perception roll, and an Assensing for anything your assensing. If you're trying to sneak in the astral, I'll also need an Infiltration + Logic roll. If either of you are looking for anything specific at the hotel, like security, etc. please feel free to post the appropriate knowledge skills. Also, feel free to toss up a little IC to match your actions. Djinni - Message sent. You know from experience it will probably be a few hours before you get a response. |

@ Method - In the future, you're more then welcome to just roll dice and post the results, or use some other dice roller that doesn't keep the rolls and copy them over. I don't require the use of Invisible Castle.

No problem boss. I don't mind so much- it keeps me honest. ;) Just never seems to roll above average...
Anyway, at this point I think I'll wait a bit for Redjack to post, in case he wants to infiltrate the hotel together. |

Post this afternoon, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Also, I worked with the Invisible Castle guy and submitted some code to him.. It supports .hits() and .hitsopen() in development. Waiting to see when he will port that code to production. It will then count successes instead of presenting the sum() of the rolls!! |

I am not planning to penetrate the walls of the hotel, but would like to look around the perimeter. Looking where there might be wards. (Like whole 3rd floor or corner room on 8th floor, etc). I assume that given the price of warding, not everywhere will be warded. If that assumption is wrong for your game, please set me straight. ;) Once the initial is done, I'll cast physical mask and head in: 2,5,5,3,5,4,5,1,2,6, (Had a Doh! moment and rolled too many dice. Dropped the last off the end.) Resist Drain (DV3): 1,5,1,5,2,5,5,1,5,4 = 5 hits - No Drain Etiquette: 4,4,3,4,4,6 = 1 hit Astral Perception: 3,3,6,6,6,2,6,4,5 = 5 hits Mundane Perception: 5,5,3,3,5,1,4,3,2,2,4,1 = 3 hits Once I get the results (if any) here, I'll post up moving into the hotel. |

Redjack - Astral Perception: There are no obvious wards from the exterior of the hotel. However, you can see the astral form of two spirits twisting and spiraling around the dim gray shape of the building. They seem to ignore anything not entering or interacting with the hotel. Keeping a safe distance and circling around, you can see through windows that there are several warded rooms on the top floor. They look to be groups of rooms, probably suites.

So, is there anything else our physical infiltration team is looking for at the hotel?

I'd like to know how difficult it would be to get into the area of the hotel the dev team is staying in, since ultimately we were hoping to get a look at their personal security situation.
Do we know specifics about what rooms they are staying in? |

Method - Since you don't have specific hotel room numbers, it's difficult to tell. It will be hard to get to any of the rooms without being seen, and harder to get to rooms above the 34th floor. You'd need like, some sort of hacker or something ;)
While you're there, the two of you don't actually spot the team from GTI leaving the hotel. Either they didn't come down while you were there, or they flew from the roof. All Bump. Don't forget the weekly drip of karma. This week (August 27th through September 2nd) will be the actual run. |
