OOC: Post or Die!, Recruitment always open! Options

[HugeC]

I was just rolling to help me write my post. You know, whether he noticed that one of the women was actually a man and such (which he didn't). If I had rolled well on perception, Thirty would have remarked on the damage to the boat and passengers, but I figure with that low a roll, he didn't really notice. The roll for etiquette was pretty good, so I tried to write him a good professional introduction, and that he used his kinesics to figure out who was in charge without needing to ask.

Is it OK if I do that sometimes? Maybe I could specify when I'm just rolling to help me write, or rolling because I am trying to do something and therefore want GM attention. Or should it be that I roll, tell you what I'm looking for, have you answer, and then write my post? Whatever way is fine, I'm still trying to figure out how PBP works.

It seemed like it worked well, I think that recognizing Caper as a man would be an opposed test vs his disguise roll. so just watch out for that kind of thing. but your doin fine

@ Majhra: Otto is about to have a massive coronary. Or maybe he'll slip and fall and smack his head "million dollar baby" style. Pleeeeeaasssse post! its going to be hard for these guys to accept a job with such a high fatality rate.

[pbangarth]

I'm getting a strong urge to move Professor away from Otto!

[pbangarth]

Assensing otto: INT 4 + Assensing 5 + active search 3 = 12 dice ==> 4 HITS

[Red-ROM]

well, I waited as long as I could. We may be a smaller team before the meet is even over.
but for now...

Sephiroth is up! go ahead with a "day in the life" kind of post, and we'll start working you in.

Can this one just get hospitalized due to a failing liver?

Can this one just get hospitalized due to a failing liver?

I'm saving that for Heka (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

[Saint Sithney]

No! The organs! The sweet, sweet organs!

I need to negotiate for salvage rights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
What's the point of taking the Cybernetics and Medicine if I can't make a little extra off the dead? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

[HugeC]

Here's a composure roll for watching someone keel over and die: Cha 4 + Will 4 + Kinesics 3, 11d6.hits(5)=3

Not too bad I suppose, probably shouldn't puke or anything. I'll post something up in IC tomorrow.

[Saint Sithney]

Ozzy is just dealing with stress in his own way..

[Majhra]

Sorry all... unfortunatly, I've had an actual death in the RL family - which changed priorities somewhat...

Such a shame Otto died so young, but he did have it comming...

[Red-ROM]

@ Majhre: sorry to hear that man.

@ all: I left a time gap in case anyone wanted to respond to the death or do anything(maybe harvest organs)

edit: man, we lost a reserve GM too maybe, Not that Majhre couldn't still step up if I start slacking

[pbangarth]

@Majhra: I've been there, buddy. My thoughts are with you. Come back when you can.

[HugeC]

My condolences Majhra. It goes without saying, but RL > PBP!

[Sephiroth]

I'm sorry, Majhra. Take your time if you wish to come back again.

So how do we find out where Big Daddy Longlegs has gone to ground? Is that strictly a function of contacts, or is there a skill to roll?

[Red-ROM]

I'm short on time this morning,

@ ellipsis: you are about to die!!!

@ hugeC: both

[HugeC]

Heh, I was going to edit my post, because I went back to look at the IC post where Mr. J gave us a few leads already. My character wasn't there are the time though. Would it be OK to assume that information was passed on to him "off camera"?

What kind of roll is it if I want Thirty to go hang around that night club and make some discrete inquiries? Also, is there some kind of 24-hr store where I can pick up a concealable holster? I shoulda bought one in his initial gear but I forgot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Your character got the brief with Big Daddy's info just like everyone else. Hanging out at the night club should probably be discussed with the group. you can go there, roll etiquette to blend in. roll con to get info without drawing attention, but who knows whats going on down there.
the concealable holster is legal, availability 2. If you have a SIN, you can pick one up at Kong-Wal Mart or Savers Central. If not, roll Charisma + Negotiations(2,12 hours) extended test to find it on the street. or bug your contact.

[Red-ROM]

Well, I have PM'ed Ellipsis. I'll give him until sometime tomorrow. We may end up with one less crew member. At least the meeeting with the Johnson is over. I don't think any of the characters can cope with another death on that boat.

[HugeC]

I have a fake SIN, so I guess I'll do that. It'll be in the post. Let me know if I need to roll the fake SIN rating or whatever. I won't go to the nightclub without others from the group. It's in Redmond after all!

[Saint Sithney]

I'm going to go ahead and start gathering some useful snooping gear. An old man in a lab coat with a laser pistol would cause too many problems for routine on-site backup. However a floating sniper rifle that can see and fire through walls wouldn't be too bad in a pinch..

I'm going to throw some social rolls in here.

A quick logic + intuition roll to see how sharp ozzy is feeling.
16d6.hits(5) → [4,1,2,3,1,1,4,6,1,6,5,3,4,2,4,4] = (3) meh.

and a composure roll to see how much shock he's in.
3d6.hits(5) → [2,4,4] = (0) well, he didn't glitch, so I guess he's his same old reality-dissociated self.

perception roll opposing disguise
10d6.hits(5) → [3,1,3,1,4,4,6,5,6,2] = (3) I suppose intimate knowledge of anatomy and the disruptive effects of explosions have let Ozzy see through Caper's disguise.

When is sunrise in Seattle?
