Do we get a hint of what language the party boys are speaking?

English, but not an American accent.

Well ... shit. He lives in this hotel?? You are MEAN!
MY SR books have all been packed for our move. The one that covers Commanding Voice I don't have in PDF format. So, I believe I can't do another CV on this guy without some kind of penalty. Is that so? Yet more talking my way out of things, I fear. |

-2 dice for each additional attempt on him for 24 hrs. He is confused for a second though.

-2 isn't so bad. On the other hand, a confused boy might just need some sweet talking. I'll sleep on it and post tomorrow.

I'll be on holiday starting tomorrow. I should be able to get online from time to time, but I might be spotty in my replies.

Starting Tuesday, I will be away from home for a week. Going to the cottage (cabin for you American folks). Two people, two dogs, two cats, plus supplies for a week. One car.
This year is a little complicated by COVID. The cottage is on an island in Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) which is a First Nations reserve. The land is leased to cottagers. Because the indigenous residents are understandably wary of diseases that come across the pond, they have kept the island off limits to non-residents, till now. If any case of COVID appears on the island, all non-residents have to leave within 24 hours. So, we have not set up internet (exorbitant fees for setup for just one or two visits), and cell phone coverage is almost non-existent. Access to the high point on the island is not allowed. No going in to the village to use the store's internet. I might, on occasion, be able to get a cell phone link on the beach, but this is very rare. We will return home on Tuesday, 18 August. Carry on without me as well as you can. Try not to kill my PC. |

I'm getting flashbacks to the first John Wick movie. Bunch of stupid, drunken, privileged idiots. Could someone just Stunball them? Take out Torley as well if you have to.

Take out Torley as well if you have to. no. I only have stunbolt (1 target) and fireball (multi targets). I've had quite a bit of success with my milspec security officer illusion though. People will figure it out eventually, but those few rounds it causes confusion are often enough. |

Awesome!
Conflict here could go really bad, really quickly. |

Very clever, Necrogigas. Slip in a hint to the new guy.
Now, can you remind me what O'Connor taught Torley? |

During the downtime before this mission O'Connor trained with Torley, working on his Dodge skill. It was in exchange for introducing O'Connor to a shaman contact of his.
Downtime Starts on pg. 3 It's nothing from a mechanical standpoint, just a call back. |

Hey, pbangarth. How caught up are you on Torley? Do you want a rundown on his standing with the others?

Sounds good. I'm back now and could use a refresher. Thanks.

O'Connor: The two have a synergy with their skillsets, such as an effective good cop bad cop routine. They don't trust each other fully though. O'Connor doesn't think he has or will see the real man behind the mask. Torley finds O'Connor unpredictable and unstable.
Snow: Torley "knew her professionally" as a joygirl before she joined the team. Both are charsmatic social types, so tend to agree on how to handle situations, at least when the team actually bothers to make a plan first. Clem: She's the one that Torley's had the least interaction with, but there's a professional respect and no personality conflicts. Clem's so tactiturn and guarded that that sentence applies pretty much to everyone but Con. Farothel is still around, so he can cover Sammy's relationship with Torley. |

Thanks. I think the situation right now is that the wayward son is still a bit confused, but one of his lackeys is challenging O'Connor directly. Or now Clem. Starlet has moved on with the package a short distance and Snow is in between. Clem is in the middle of things. Snow is in between Starlet and the annoyance.
Maybe just split up and get the parcel delivered? These clowns present no real threat? |

Sorry for falling of the Earth, I am trying to get back on track.
With that in mind, never me give me an intiative and a surprise roll. |

You'd think with a bunch of aggressive drunks in front of us we wouldn't be surprised. You'd think.

We're so focused on the drunks, we're about to be blinded sided by something else perhaps.

Oh yeah. The rest of the far-away place where we don't belong or fit in.

You are probably right about the surprise it was more about whether you would actually be in a position to respond when Viktor finally got to kick off the festivities. Basically everyone has one guy engaging in HTH, with 2 on O'Conner and one hanging back. |

Is O'Conner using an action for full defense? If not roll two normal defenses and take your action.
Torley, you are receiving a charge so you get an extra die for your defense. |
