OOC New Beginnings DAWN Options

[Necrogigas]

I had a few NPC interactions, then a character beat between O'Connor and Snow planned. Just been waiting on Crossbow.

With the GM absent right now, I'm gonna skip ahead to the player stuff and work my way back to the NPC stuff once Crossbow is back.

[Crossbow]

Life has been happening, GAH!

Necro, Peaceful isn't able to give you an insights about the local scene that is anything new, you all have access to the piece that Jane gave you and the Feral Cities download on Shadowland. He does reinforce the point that you all, as a group, stand out as oyibos and to understand that marks you as targets. When Con puffs up at this, Peaceful relays a story , from the Area Boys side, that was posted to Shadowland:

pg 87 Feral Cities

> No shit. I refused to pay up one time, figuring my team and I could
handle the three punk kids who were demanding a toll to cross a
certain road. They drew their guns, we drew ours. We got off the
first shots, of course, killed all three of the punks where they stood.
Didn’t make it more than a city block before we were surrounded by
about fifty more kids, and those kids had AK-97s. It got real ugly,
real fast.
> Hard Exit

Seems that Hard Exit may have been the only person to make it out of that scrap.



Farothel

Clean [Element] (Environmental, Area)
Type: P • Range: LOS (A) • Duration: P • DV: (F ÷ 2) + 2
This area spell clears all impurities out of the volume of a
particular element within range. Each element requires a different
spell (Clean Air, Clean Water, etc). For example, Clean Air
could be used to cleanse a room of toxic fumes, or Clean Water
could purify a drinking supply. The caster’s hits determine how
thoroughly the element is cleaned; slightly muddy water would
require only 1 hit to clean for example, whereas contaminated
runoff could require 4 or even 5 hits to make it drinkable.

You can probably get the formula if you are willing to pay, but you are unlikely to be given the opportunity to learn it. Check page 182 of the 20th anniversary book, and remember the Availability code is 8R. Marcus does not answer your call.

I should have brought my magical lodge with me. Well, I'll wait until I see an oportunity to actually learn this spell. It's too useful not to try to learn it.

[Necrogigas]

Might as well call that end of scene and.move forward.

[Thvor]

And it was a very nice scene, too!

[Necrogigas]

Thanks Thvor.

[Crossbow]

No excuses, trying to get the next scene put together, sorry all.

[Thvor]

Just so y’all know, I’m going to be starting a new job at the beginning of December. Shouldn’t impact my ability to play, but something to be aware of. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Necrogigas]

Did we bribe Peaceful for room security?

[Crossbow]

yes, that bribe is paid

[farothel]

It's been a while and there's a lot of posts. Do we have any idea of where this Samriel could be? Because trying to find someone in Lagos without some way of narrowing it down is like looking for a specific needle in a stack of needles.

If we don't: Dibs on Victoria Island.

[Crossbow]

You have no idea, but feel free to try and bribe your way pst the bridge

[farothel]

the official shadowrun forum is acting a bit wonky lately and I've seen rumour pass that they might pull the plug on that. As we still have a lot of New Beginnings stuff over there, it might not be a bad idea to copy it away to somewhere else (or at least make a summary of our past adventures so we can keep referencing things).

[Crossbow]

So I have copied all 8 threads to word documents. It is not hard if anyone wants to duplicate the effort. find the thread, hit print, cntrl A, ctrl C, paste into a word document.

I am not real good at sending big files and I know AOL has a limit for attachments, but we can figure things out if anyone wants the files I have.

Google docs, drop box,...
you can also put them into a PDF, which are mostly much smaller to sent.

[Crossbow]

I don't know how to do any of those.

[Necrogigas]

Merry Christmas.

[Crossbow]

Guess who has two thumbs and got a new laptop for Christmas...

Still have to get my files transferred, but I will be getting the game back on track as best I can.

[Crossbow]

Thvor and farothel, I need an idea of your plan to search, perhaps with a demonstration post. This area has all manner of low class flophouses, bars, brothels and drug dens, and it appears to be the center of the non-native population in the district.

I had the idea to use the 'our friend wasn't at the location we agreed and we're a bit worried about him' approach. We have a picture and if you give the bartenders a couple of naria, we should get information right. We can also try the port master (or his assistants) to see where he made landfall.

As Torley is the one who has to do the talking (and therefore the rolls), I can't really do much in the way of posts, but I'll make a start.
I can only search myself as soon as I have his astral signature.

[farothel]

I'll place my rolls here:

force 2 increase reflexes
spellcasting: 11d6t5 6
+1 reflexes, +1 IP (in focus)

drain 3
drain 3: 9d6t5 3
no drain

spirit of water (force 3, elemental attack extra power)
spirit summoning: 8d6t5 2

spirit counter roll
spirit counter roll: 3d6t5 0

2 services

drain 2 (minimum)
spirit drain 2: 9d6t5 2
no drain

[farothel]

Anybody seen Thvor?

Assuming that the rifles had full magazines to begin with that gives Clem and O'Connor three magazines a piece, with eight loose bullets.

[Crossbow]

Just so it is said, looking for check-ins from thvor and Mercy before pushing on.

[farothel]

I have contact with Mercy for other games via a chat and I know he just had a break-in into his house, so he might be slow for a while.
I can ask him to have a look when he finds the time.
