There is a couple in Aisle 7, the man dressed head to toe in white leather pants, sleeveless shirt and vest and several kilograms of FauxGoldâ„¢ jewelry hanging around his neck. The woman is in a skintight leather jumpsuit with about 42 working zippers and nearly 8 meters of mesh chain wrapped around her body and appendages. Shadowrunners or wannabes?

In Aisle 8 is a man in fatigues and an armor jacket covered in circuit diagrams. His temples are studded with half a dozen jacks and he seems to be talking to no one … or maybe the toaster oven on display.

According to his nametag, Mr. Nick, is at the end of Aisle 11 across from Area E.

Another employee wearing an apron and nametag designating him as Johnny is stocking soup in Aisle 16.

Sitting on a counter between Area E and F is a young woman wearing a long coat over short shorts and a halter top sipping a drink. The duster has a skull with a bloodstained icicle stuck through its left eye.

When an action needs to be rolled to resolve, we'll do it here. Remind me of your rating for what dice you need rolled as well as cyber/bio/magic/etc. that may apply as well as any dice from pools that you want to use.

I'll be rolling using the dice program from NSRCG and will post the results.

If you want to describe the resulting action based on the outcome of the roll, I am willing to let you as long as it works well. Based on the outcome of the roll, would mean barely succeeding pretty straight forward action that just succeeds, while a fantastic roll could be described in much more cinematic terms. Or in terms consistent with the roll and as the player feels the story could use.

I'll add more information as needed or requested.

Just posted, not sure if I did it right. Take a look and tell me if I need to do it differently.

Pretty much. It's kind of a slow process, which is why I asked for players that could post frequently.

You can go ahead and describe any further player actions, such as getting in the building, what section you go to, make a purchase, notice the NPCs and perhaps interact with them. And you don't really need to wait for everyone to make an entrance, but try not to advance the plot.

[Xiuhaun]

wristphone on the left wrist
carried:
pred III in concealable quick draw holster under left arm, loaded with gel rounds
pocket secretary in inside jacket pocket
clip with normal ammo, credstick, set of handcuffs in pockets of the pants

[Green Eyed Monst...]

Lots of stuff to do!

I'm wearing all my armor, but not carrying the shield or wearing the helmet - FFBA (no hood or gloves), Jumpsuit, Long Coat, Forearm Guards, Snakemesh Socks.

I'm also carrying the Browning HP with a clip of Regular ammo loaded, an extra ExEx clip, and the 3 clips of Capsule rounds. The clips of Capsule rounds are filled with Air, Water, and Earth, respectively. I’ve got the knife in a pocket.

I’m Channeling a F2 Great Form Sylph spirit and sustaining the C spell.
I also want to have on call a Gnome, Manitou, Sylph and Undine spirit, all GF, all F4, all with Armor bonus. I conjured all of these from home before going out to the meet. I’ll conjure the F2 last and we’ll see how long I Channel it and if it makes sense to still be continuing by the time I go to the Stuffer Shack.

[ Spoiler ]

Invoking requires the Normal Conjuring test vs. F - successes determine services
Drain test vs. force
Then a second Conjuring test vs. (2xF)- Initiate Grade - just need 1 success
Then a second Drain test vs. (2xF) - Init. Grade
Conjuring 6
Centering 6
Initiate Grade 3
Willpower 7
Base Charisma 4
Increase Charisma F6, +1M drain, cast at F4 for 3M drain
Spell Pool 6, throw all into success roll
Trauma Damper (subtract 1 box of stun per wound) So effectively ignore L Stun
Home Ground is -1TN mod

Channeling requires making contact with the spirit’s astral form
Then a Conjuring test vs. (2xF)-grade - Successes x 10 minutes for duration it lasts
I‘d like to use Centering for successes on all tests.

I may find it hard to get out of the car if the Channeling has expired due to encumbrance. If so, I will Invoke and Channel another F2 Sylph (shouldn‘t be a domain problem with the current weather).

Chance359, can you edit your IC post and choose not to enable signature?

autoinjector loaded with stim patch
autoinjector loaded with trauma patch

I was wondering what was in the autoinjectors

3d6 starting cash - 1500

Chance359
3d6 starting cash split between a stick and script - 500/500

Should I assume your dual autoinjectors are likewise loaded?

Ears
3d6 starting cash - 1300
your left over cash from chargen gets divided by 10, so the 1500 is only going to be 150. You might decide to get a lifestyle for a month or so or some ammo or other expendables. I hate to see money get wasted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Green Eyed Monster -

Your Out of the Game! Just kidding, but kinda wishful thinking it anyway... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Increase Charisma F4 - 8 succ. no Drain
Invoking 1st test is TN4 -1HG, +1 Sust spell, Inv TN 2xF - grade=5 or min 2
F4 Gnome - 10,5,5,4,2,1 Cent 4,3,1,1,1,1 Serv 4 Inv 10,8,3,3,3,1
F4 Manitou - 11,4,3,1,1,1 Cent 11,5,4,3,3,1 Serv 3 Inv 9,5,4,4,4,2
F4 Sylph - 11,10,5,2,2,2 Cent 11,7,4,3,2,1 Serv 4 Inv 4,2,2,1,1,1 Uncontrolled (Fun, Fun)
F4 Undine - 11,10,5,5,5,4 Cent 5,5,4,3,2,2 Serv 7 Inv 5,5,3,3,2,2
F2 Sylph - 5,5,4,4,2,1 Cent 5,5,5,3,1,1 Serv 7 Inv 5,5,3,3,2,1
Channeling
8,4,3,1,1,1 Cent 15,14,11,5,4,1 50 minutes

[Chance359]

Not sure if I need to be rolling any dice to set my electronics up how i want (datajack to pocket secretary, p-sec wired into the coat).

If I need to roll anything, it will be Electronics or Electronics B/R, I have both at rating 5, I get one task pool dice, and depending on how you interpret the rules, a die from enhanced articulation. The microscopic vision might also give a -2 target number.

As I enter the store, I make a perception test, 7 dice (Intel: 5 +2 cereberal booster)

[tisoz]

drips - Starting cash 1000
Green Eyed Monster - Starting cash 1300
BobRoberts - Starting cash 800

[Chance359]

Fixed the sig problem. A 500/500 split is cool. Yeah the autoinjectors are setup the same way, should help keep me alive.

I'll assume you took as long as needed to get it set up correctly. I am right in assuming this is kind of a permanent set-up? If so, fine. If it is just for the present, I rolled it real quick anyway and 4 successes.

Perception test 9,5,5,5,2,1,1

Autoinjector loads?
Sig in IC? Thanks

[Green Eyed Monst...]

I'll try to control it (like I have much choice.)

If I have this right, it is an exclusive action, so drop the spell sustaining. It's a Conjuring plus Charisma (since I'm the summoner) test vs F, resisted by the spirit using F vs my Magic. (SR3.189)

6+4 vs 4
4 vs 8

If I get the 1 net success, I'd like to go ahead and make the subsequent test to increase the number of services. Conjuring vs F, succ/2=services. (SR3.189)

[tisoz]

04 03 02 01 01 01
+1 service, as Home Ground isn't being offset by sustaining the spell any more.

On recasting the Charisma spell (to complete what I previously rolled), got:
17 11 05 05 05 04 03 02 01 01 01 01 Sorcery+ Spell Pool
15 05 03 02 01 01 Centering
Successes/2 = +4Charisma.

Summary:
F4 Gnome - Serv 4
F4 Manitou - Serv 3
F4 Sylph - Serv 2
F4 Undine - Serv 7
F2 Sylph - Channeling 50 minutes, probably over by time you drive to meet, attend meet, drive to Stuffer Shack.

F2 Sylph 16 05 05 03 02 01 Cent 17 04 03 02 02 01 Serv 7
Channeling 04 03 02 02 02 02 Cent 07 05 02 02 01 01 80 minutes

Everyone:
Stuffer Shack is in B rated neighborhood in Tacoma.
Going with Sept. 7, 2054 for date.

[Green Eyed Monst...]

I'll have the Undine use it's Guard and Magical Guard on me.

Summary:
F4 Gnome - Serv 4
F4 Manitou - Serv 3
F4 Sylph - Serv 2
F4 Undine - Serv 7-2=5
F2 Sylph Channeling 80 minutes

And I am dual natured due to the channeling.

I think I'd like a Perception check as I go to Aisle 10.

[tisoz]

Green Eyed Monster perception check 11 11 04 04 03 01

The Stuffer shack is lit well enough so no light modifiers, muzak is playing in the background, but you can hear the kid asking his mom for every item that seemingly comes into sight, as well as her bored and repetitive, "No. No. No..." You can hear the white clad man and the black clad woman conversing if you are nearby - sounds pretty domestic. You can hear the guy with the circuit design armor jacket talking if you are near him.

Yeah, I usually leave a few k. Had too many repeats of "3d6 -> 3; did I mention the club where the meet is charges 500 admission?".
Not that 150 would have made much difference. But if you suffer that much from waste I'll just give my pred additional ammo for 1.5k.

50 exex 500
100 regular 200
100 gel 300
50 flechette 500

Not that any of my shadowrun characters ever had to shoot that many people. Now Deadlands, that's another story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Oh and I'll take a perception check as well while they're still fresh and tasty.

5d6 please

Ditto previous post about what can be heard and seen. Everyone notices the tall black guy head and shoulders above all the shelves in the place.

[Green Eyed Monst...]

I kind of make a habit of casting Catalog at the doorway to home and upon exiting and returning to my car, then reciting the list into the pocket secretary and having it compare the new list to the last list and inform me of any differences (Like bombs or tracking signals.)

We're still trying to figure out how the game is running, how you are posting and wanting us to post, and trying to actually meet each other, so I kind of overlooked it. Could write it off this time to the trouble with the spirit and not wanting to get drenched.

Is there a problem with editing our posts if we think of something else and the game hasn't really moved along?
