QUOTE (pbangarth @ Sep 26 2020, 03:18 PM)  Where is everybody? I'm waiting for Crossbow. I'm assuming Con and Torley need to make skill checks to evade the po-po.

I am actually waiting on farothel so that I can have you guys together. You will not have to roll any evasion, the police will be too busy getting people in cuffs to do much else before you are long gone.

Sorry, it's been quite busy lately.
I assume that Sammy is kept up to date on what is happening, so she doesn't try to get past those guards (I still have invisibility and stuff like that). |

I'm sure one or the other would contact Sammy as soon as they were clear. I hadn't made a post to that effect since I was anticipating a chase sequence.

Just to let everyone know, I am working on a post. I would have tried to work on it today, this would have been my first day off since Monday before last, but I got fired yesterday so I spent the day dealing with the fallout from that.
I have plenty of time to do it now though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

How long will it take for Sammy to get to the others?

Not long at all, you can basically meet back at the train station.

Do you guys want me to just start you as walking into the Ork? Or is there going to be plan for once? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am deeply wounded and feel a bit called out. Not saying you are wrong mind you, just telling you how I feel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So get to planning, do you guys need a visual aid for the Ork or was my description sufficient? |

That's ... great!
I realize ... now ... that it would be highly unlikely to have a floor plan of this place in any corner of the Matrix. But, just so you know for future reference: I like visual aids! |

We have a name but lack a physical description. We need to identify our target without tipping off we're looking for him.
If Silence is actually at the bar, even with the massive amount of heat that job would've created, means he's got to have local protection. After tagging our target, we'll have to isolate him for interrogation. Can spirits hear things on the physical plane while hidden on the astral? If so, Sammy could send in a spirit to do recon. If not, anyone got a clever idea on how to do this? Sammy will need to disguise us as well, especially Con since the Area Boys might still be looking for him. |

Astral perception could tell who is magical. That could be an easy way if only one person lights up.

If he's as good as that, we can always pose as out of towners looking for some local talent to do a job for us. It would explain why we ask for him and we can (or at least Torley can) try to persuade him to discuss things at a more private location.
I'm not sure spirits can hear on the material without being there, but I would be cautious about using spirits. The astral space of Lagos is wonky and I'm sure there are more magically active people in that bar. Probably not that many mages (they tend to be well protected in Lagos as they are very valuable, especially if they can purify water), but some adepts can see the astral as well. I can call up a spirit and put it on standby, even if it's only to use as distraction as we get away. |

An astral check will at least narrow down our targets. I don't remember the name of the ability, but I remember Torley being able to gain the first rank in a new language for free after a certain level of exposure. If any of the local languages have popped, we could disguise him and have him do some light intel gathering.

Good idea, Necro. Torley has 1 level in Yoruba, the other main language here. Silence is Igbo. It would take hours for Torley to develop that language. Maybe with our little guide. I wanted to do that earlier, but things moved too quickly for Torley to take the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
I suspect trying to speak Yoruba in this joint would get Torley tossed out on his ear. |

As for acting like we want to hire Silence, it might backfire. I'd be highly suspicious of any strangers looking for me after pulling a big job like Silence did. It might spook the target amd make them pop smoke. We'll more likely than not lose the thief if it comes down to a chase.

You can make another check for the Igbo language.
