OOC: Reclaiming the Void, OOC half of the thread for dice and tabletalk Options

With the Inflitration rolls, you will successfully evade immediate pursuit and not draw attention to yourselves. Where are you taking the stuff and how long are you driving in the stolen car?

Thanee--What's Siren's plan for meeting up with the group?

[Thanee]

Thanee--What's Siren's plan for meeting up with the group?

Right now? None. She will meet up with them much later, when everyone is safe and some time has passed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanee--Remember Dalma is out there in the wind, and you can give her a call.

[Thanee]

Sure thing!

Just don't want to "risk" too much, when it is quite unnecessary right now while still in the vincinity. Who knows what kind of information the security guys are monitoring/gathering.

You also have several kilograms of shattered safety glass.

Cool! I'm sure that's useful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/scatter.gif)

[BishopMcQ]

If someone's got a Street Sweeper, it would definitely qualify...

[Saytr]

I had my street sweeper from the ganger right.

[BishopMcQ]

Saytr--Yep. The glass is worth about a dozen shots of debris for the Street Sweeper

[Hamagen]

I wasn't following the descriptions of the battle as much as I should have, is it a typical Arcana + Logic?

[BishopMcQ]

Arcana + Logic or Assensing + Intuition, the rolls will provide different sets of information so tossing out both.

Assensing will be your general "go-to" what is this thing for Awakened and astral stuff. Arcana goes into what's the purpose of this thing, how was it created, etc. (Think about the difference between saying it's a knife vs it's an athame.)

[Thanee]

Intuition + Assensing -> 11 hits

Hey All!

Our current karma total earned in this thread is 111 (thanks BishopMcQ for getting me the number). So I think next is selling items and keeping what we need from the theft. Redjack can you throw out a post from Papa (resident tech genius) on what's being kept so Siren can see about selling the rest?

How did we want to handle the legwork to track down the other team? BishopMcQ I have noticed in threads (sadly mine included too) that this phase tends to bog down or
derail a thread so any suggestions on a format to handle the legwork but still keep the game going? I am completely trying to use you as a test subject here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[BishopMcQ]

Thanee -- It is a necklace, no Force, no astral signatures.

Legwork:

So I'd like to do the legwork as a three week window. On September 24th, we start the next piece. If the team wraps up legwork faster than that, we can go sooner.

How we'll do it is any of the players can toss out pieces of information that they are looking for, questions etc. Week one will be the primary legwork round, with week two handling secondary questions that come from the information.

People can choose to roll, which for Data Searches can be a lot of rolling, or I will take an average number of hits based on your pool.

Thoughts, comments, criticisms?

Crazy guard had a regular necklace, was at least gold or silver?

[BishopMcQ]

The necklace came from the guy in the store that had a gun under his coat, not either security guard. As described it has turquoise beads and silver feathers. It appears to be of fine craftsmanship.

Kn: Jewelry, Fashion, NAN art etc to get a ball park appraisal.

[BishopMcQ]

Team--Is anyone grabbing gear from the pile of "Sell" loot that Redjack tossed out there? (Wasn't sure if Siren was the type to want a free subscription to all of the hottest fashion for her AR environment or to display over different personas when she's doing her Face thing, etc.)

Thanee--Are you going through Santana for the buying and selling? If so, toss me some Etiquette.

[Hamagen]

As far as magical tracking, not real sure what is available.

Not sure if it would be called "Divination" like in other fantasy games, or it would be something else, can someone point me in the right direction? I'd need to read up on it a bit first before Dalma can respond to "Magical Tracking"

And no on the Loot

[Thanee]

Siren is definitely very interested in anything fashion-related (it is her highest rank in a knowledge skill after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).

Selling via Santana makes sense.


Before meeting with him, she will get her Increase Charisma back into place, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Increase Charisma F5 -> 5 hits, no Drain (-> Sustaining Focus; and masked)


Charisma + Etiquette + Street Credibility -> 10 hits

@BishopMcQ: How do you handle Edge refreshing? (Not that I want to use any right now, but I had to use one point of Edge for the healing spell.)


I also thought about spending some more Karma (still got 9 left right now), to specialize my Summoning skill (Spirits of Man), and learn Binding 1, likewise specialized. That's 8 Karma and would leave me with 1. Dalma could probably show Siren a bit about how that Binding stuff is done during some downtime.

And then I will not learn anything else for a looong time, most likely, saving up to raise Magic (well, maybe a point of Edge and/or another Sustaining Focus might get into the way). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Thanee]

About that other team... don't recall any specific plans on how to engage them right now, so maybe this has been around already, but how about we try to hire them?

Then we meet up with them, and so we can set a trap or whatever comes to mind that way. Obviously, Siren would prefer any options, that are not lethal.

If we find out something about their regular hangouts, Siren could visit some of those places in disguise and take a look around. Maybe even get an astral look at the other runners.

Other than that, good old legwork (with Etiquette) could also help (though without Street Cred). Find someone who might know something, and so on.

Bye
Thanee

P.S. Oh, 5,000 posts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

[BishopMcQ]

Thanee--Edge refreshes by major scene change, once selling off the HSE stuff is done, we'll move to the "Whack-a-Team" scene. Edge will refresh again for the "Lake of Bitter Tirs" (presuming the team is still planning on making a run at Crater Lake before the jungle). Karma spends look fine.

Hamagen--Mark off two more days for the selling and getting electronics phase.

[Buddha72]

BishopMcQ I like the idea of breaking the legwork down into weeks and then pushing forward - thanks to being open to trying a system of some sort.

As to the other runners - I would like to know their handles and anything about their skill set or gear - you know things like "Oh that's John Wayne but you might as well call him Grenade Troll since he loves to blow things up with burst fire capable grenade launchers!" I like the idea of setting up an ambush under the "hiring the team" scenario as long as we can make sure we get the whole team to show up for it. As I stated before I don't have much in the way to offer in contacts for this kind of thing though I am going to try.

Gear looks fine but Ollie has a sim module already so throw that back in for someone else or sell it. Nothing else grabs me from the loot list.
