OOC New Beginnings DAWN Options

[farothel]

I'm still here, but I think Crossbow had some issues with getting internet and I don't know how he's doing. I'm basically waiting for him.

[pbangarth]

This would be a good time for Torley and Sammy to do some character development/interaction, but I am "Johnny Come Lately" in the relationship between the two. I wish I had more context. TL;DR nine years of story!

[pbangarth]

No way am I gonna let our IC thread fall off the front page!

The original PbP should still be somewhere on the official shadowrun forum.

Well, as much as a former archaeologist might like excavating years of text for the history of these two characters (*nod* to Michel Foucault), I think our recent history suggests that Torley is 'growing up' some and finding a new role for himself in the group, with the help of Sammy. I think I will explore that new character and relationship as we progress.

In particular, he is becoming more aware of the consequences to the group of his thrill seeking. That might not stop his 'need for speed', but it might ... redirect(?) it. I suspect that a deep dive into the history would show Torley owes his life more than once to members of the group. That would colour my relationship with others, and I intend to project that colour into Torley's behaviour.

Thank for keeping the flame alive, I figure with all the long breaks it is probably closer to six years of actual game play. But that is neither here nor there.

Trying to get things going again, work with me.

[pbangarth]

Alright!

[pbangarth]

So here are a few dice rolls for you to use as needed, Crossbow.

Etiquette, so Torley knows how to behave with the elder:

CHA 6 + Etiquette 4 + Kinesics 3 = 13 dice: 4 hits

Negotiation so Torley can convince the old man to do what he wants to do anyway. I will let you decide if there are modifiers based on his desire/resistance.

CHA 6 + Negotiation 4(6) + Kinesics 3 = 15 dice: 2 hits

Well, shit. I think Torley has a point of Edge left, so here goes:

13 dice: 6 hits That's better! Total of 8 hits.

[Crossbow]

Need audio perception rolls from everyone, and visual rolls from Starlet and O'Connor.

Dice Rolls

[ Spoiler ]

Perception (Audio): 5d6t5 2

Perception (Visual): 7d6t5 1

Just to be clear. Our message about setting up a meeting recieved the reply of, "Come now." So we rendezvoused with the old man. Now the old man is mad at us because by "come now", he meant."get the idol now." Am I correct in that sequence of events?

[Crossbow]

Yep, some of the NPCs are actually pricks it is perfectly okay for you to dislike.

[pbangarth]

Audio perception for Torley:

Perception 5 + INT 5 = 10 dice: 6 hits

Awesome! Must be influence from the wasted (?) Edge used for the greeting with the old man.

[farothel]

Crossbow: do I have an idea of how strong that spirit is? At least in relation to my magic?

[Crossbow]

You can try to go astral again and assense it, but you don't have anything else.

[farothel]

sorry it took me so long, but it's been a busy week at work. And it's been a while since I've done magic in this system, so I had to look up how.

[pbangarth]

Is it time for Initiative rolls yet?

[Crossbow]

Is it time for Initiative rolls yet?

No, no need for that yet.

[pbangarth]

Too bad. Shit's hittin' the fan in the other game, and my blood is up.

[pbangarth]

Spirits everywhere, in both games. You'd think the World was gettin' magical or somethin'.

[Crossbow]

Okay, the map online is gone, so I posted it in my discord server that I never use. Here is the invite.

Necrogigas, copy that picture and show me where you and Homie are headed to. You won't be there right away though.

[Necrogigas]

The original plan called for O'Connor to attack from the right side, get through the gate and draw guards to the courtyard. Not sure where the military is in relation to everything, so not sure if O'Connor has to attack from another angle.

Lil' Homie is heading to his predesignated spotter position. You were vague about the locations we marked out for him and Torley during the planning stage other than they were off the immediate map.

[Crossbow]

Okay, so everything is a clusterF then because Homie's spotter position is the Washer woman's place where Torley is, and the two invisible folks are heading for the gate to go in that way. So now what? The military is actually off the map to the left setting up.

[pbangarth]

Fog of War, man.

No plan survives contact with the enemy.

{Fill in your own truism}

We go with what we have said, I guess.

[farothel]

MAp, what map? Have I missed a map somewhere?
