OOC: Back into the Barrens, Restart of the Barren's Game Options

[PraetorGradivus]

Just a quick note...my home network was hacked so I have no internet capability at home right now...even had to get direct tv to come out and switch the box cause he hacked that too.
I can only get online with my chromebook when I'm out somewhere that has free wifi.
And my characters gave you guys the name Xander Renvela...not Xaver

Holy cow, how did you manage that?

Sorry, editing.

Do I get my own memory roll on the hospital (Area Knowledge[Seattle] 4 or Corporate Metahuman Experimentation 5)?

Seattle Area Knowledge(4) + INT(5) = 3 - 5 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 2 - 1 - 4 - 5 = 4 hits (Invisible Castle is offline)

Hardwire has heard of the St Francis Medical Center. It is an independent medical (no corporate affiliations) supported by the Catholic Church. He's is not aware of any organized crime connections either, though he presumes mafia is more likely than Vory if it was.

[Redjack]

Give me the next stop and I'll fast forward.

[Saytr]

Stumps than the doc for payment since he was the one brokering the deal for Athena.

[Sengir]

So we were a little too paranoid? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Payment from the Doc sounds good

[Saytr]

Lol we just took out a pair of hit men paranoid is ok for a minute.

Since Paddy is new to the team, I figured I'd give him a chance to role-play his reactions to the first stop being in the Redmond Barrens.

"Yuri was a pig. I only wish he would have died by my hands instead of the explosion. He got lucky dying quickly. Glad to have another hand to help." Translated from Russian to english.

For simplicity, I'm assuming that the van is open between cargo area and driver's compartment (in other word, we don't have to decide who got in where)?

Yes and if you remember, it also is a plumbers van with shelves in the back and plumber supplies.

Before the others start shooting, how do the chasers look like, visible weapons, gang colors...?

Great idea... though in the darkness, the headlights are effectively blinding you.

[PraetorGradivus]

Perception test to notice anything about the riders.... Int 5, Defaulting... plus whatever other minuses

Holy cow... No perception skill.
Int(5) + Defaulting(-1) + Clear/Blinding Glare+Flare comp/no appreciable wind/short range(-1) [2,3,1] = 0 hits
Dang, I was really rooting for the underdog and his flare comp.

[Saytr]

Lol

[Sengir]

Looks like we all have a shopping list, Perception for Gradivus and close combat for Saytr and me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


Anyway, speaking of the Lords of War

Hardwire tags the items about the Lords and the juvenile joyrider for further search

I'd like to get back at that bookmark as soon as there's time, especially see if that article mentions who shot the civillians

How is everyone doing with the frequency of posts and pace of the game? Trying to get 2 posts/week where possible and at least once per week. Also making a concerted effort not to let us get bogged down in a scene. For example: once it was clear you were going to hesitate before firing first on the gangers, I fast forwarded the scene. That strategy working for everyone and keeping it enjoyable?

[PraetorGradivus]

works for me

[Saytr]

Yeah that was one of those thing I cannot come out and say but wanting to play the role lol.all good

What Gradivus said: Works out nicely for me, if frequency goes down one week there's another week with a lot of progress

[Saytr]

Happy Easter yall.

[Redjack]

Whew. Barely under the wire for the 7 day window. Work stank last week. 19 hours last Monday. Should be back to a normal schedule this coming week.
