Travelling Gwillimburys, misfits professionals meld into Runner awesomeness Options

Max is next in this Initiative Pass.

[Red-ROM]

free: calling spirit of man
simple: commanding spirit to use conceal on Max and Mick
simple: drawing gun

[pbangarth]

Summoned spirits appear on the astral plane and manifest so that
they are visible in the physical world as a ghostly image. The spirit can
hang around in astral space awaiting orders, or the magician can instruct
it to return from where it came to be called at a later time—as
long as it is called before its services expire. Calling a spirit placed on
“stand-by” takes only a Simple Action.

So, try a Quick Draw roll to see if you can get the pistol out this pass.

[Red-ROM]

oops, misread the actions page. the gun can wait until next round.

[pbangarth]

I'm happy for you to try this initiative pass, but you need to do a Quick Draw, Pistols + Reaction (3) test to make it happen. The Threshold is 2 if you have a quick draw holster. Unless you Glitch, you have nothing to lose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

[Red-ROM]

Pistols 3 + Reaction 2 (+1, novacoke):[5,4,3,6,2,6] = (3)

well what do you know? I probably wasted a pretty good roll there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

must be my Nimble Fingers

[pbangarth]

You whipped it out like an expert!

[SleepIncarnate]

Just be careful where you spray

Bongo's Attack of Will on the spirit. He's scared and angry, and Edge goes into this.

WIL 3 + EDG 4 = 7 dice, exploding sixes ==> 4 HITS

Spirit tries to evade: REA 5 -2 damage modifier = 3 dice ==> 2 HITS

DV is CHA 5 + 2 net hits = 7P

spirit damage resistance 15 dice ==> 4 HITS

Net damage 3P. Enough to nuke the spirit! Holy shit!

A discussion in a recent thread brought up an adept metamagic technique in SOTA:2064 (SR3) that looks kinda cool, at least for Bongo. Many of the magical toys from that book made it into Street Magic, but not this one. Looks like Bongo has some research to do!

It's called Virtuoso, and allows an artistically talented adept to generate a work of art that has magical capabilities. One aspect of this broad metamagic that might be useful on a run is the set of effects generated by performing a Performance Piece composed under the rules of the metamagic. Not only does performing it generate an Enthralling Performance, but also a Background Count attuned to the adept. The BC can be made quite hefty by a successful test during the creation, and the spending of extra karma. Imagine Bongo bringing down an astral barrier, or negating a spell, or disrupting a spirit... just by drumming.

Cool, or what?

First step is to find a GM for this group!

[pbangarth]

I don't think you are waiting for me to do something.

[pbangarth]

Spotty access to internet next couple of days.

[Red-ROM]

okay, I'm looking for a decent restaurant to make reservations. Should I roll something?

[pbangarth]

Sure, gimme a CHA + Con test.

[Red-ROM]

cha+con(+2 nova coke and kinesics):[4,2,6,3,3,6,4,3,5,4,2,4,1] = (3)

[pbangarth]

Most of the play from now on will not involve Bongo. I'll use him sparingly to keep you up to date on background info. If you have things to share with him or questions, feel free to contact him.

[Red-ROM]

old max is still around, just trying to stay at the same pace as the rest of the players.

[pbangarth]

Is there anything I need to be doing to get the ball rolling?

[Red-ROM]

You could set the scene at El Norte's or PM SleepIncarnate and see if she's still interested.

Sorry I haven't been checking the forums guys, I have less than a week here in my deployment, today is the last day of classes for this session and I had 2 very work intensive classes this time around. Also, issues back home trying to resolve where I'll be living when I get back and if I'll have any stuff (there was a glitch in the autopay for my storage shed and autopay got turned off, they're threatening to start auctioning off my stuff). Needless to say, it's been hectic. Things should be calmed down in about a week.

[pbangarth]

OK, I'll whip up some info on the restaurant and maybe some other background info and feed it into the thread over the next week.

Come home safely, SleepIncarnate.
