Anything with the sapience trait can be targeted.

Although you are about to enter the mind of a feral infected...
Have fun...

[Volker]

Haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

thanks, gilga, for waiting for me

@gilga: I removed your "ooc - dont rush" post, as it served its purpose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Gilga]

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

@Gilga : I lost track, are Anna's spells on Wraith still active?

@gilga
Why did you post it in the IC thread in the first place?

[Gilga]

Well, I was going to edit it into my own IC - but since some would first read the IC and only then the OOC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

@Jack: With 13 dice in magic theory and first aid, and 10 dice in medicine, can I narrow down the biological cause of the creature's death?
I mean, for example, with my basic knowledge I can rule out a heart attack due to stress because of the magic interrogation (then a high heart beat would have alarmed us, the brain wouldn't have stopped simultaneously, etc.
I assume that it wouldn't be something as natural as loss of essence as it happened to spontaneously. Stuff like that. Can I find any chemicals in his blood (11 dice in chemistry, if necessary a chemistry toolkit in the car, though I think needle wholes, discolorations, etc. might give away substances without a toolkit)? Has there been any electrical signal? Or is it just a kind of avada kedavra?

[Jack_Spade]

Mainly it was the critical glitch with two 1s on two dice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

In game it was the combination of an absolutely unresisted mind probe that forced the brain to use all available resources to uncover pretty forgotten memories. Add to that a very unfavorable background count to a dual natured creature that has been shocked several times in the last few minutes and it's just an unfortunate cumulation of effects.

[Volker]

Okay, but we do have all the characteristic signs of death through an overly strained cardiac system. It didn't just magically snap out of function, and the brain died because of los of oxygen and not just because it was magicked into dying?

I don't want to revive the creature anyway, but the IC description didn't match the OoC description and this made bnc a bit jumpy.

If you'll allow, I'll edit the post according to your description. bnc wouldn't have been that alarmed as the virtual parameters would have given a different image.

@ Gilga:

Anna concluded "It was the Lord's wrath..."...

Lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Does she say that in any mocking or overly sarcastic way?

[Gilga]

She thinks that Wraith unintentionally killed the beast by creating unbearable emotional pain or something along these lines. Yet, the critter knows that it is a vile undead and was put in the Church which increased the stress, and Wraith is a Theurgist and behaves as if the Lord gives him the power to do spells. In that sense, it was indeed the Lord's wrath. she is a bit cynical as these words come out of a pragmatic Chaos mage, rather than

and sees belief as a useful mental structure, rather than reality. So when she says it is the Lord's Wrath she means a combination of Wraith's theatrics and the critter's own beliefs which escalated the situation further.

[Thanee]

Would the searching be Perception (visual)?

Bye
Thanee

[Jack_Spade]

Actually it would be Perception (Searching) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Thanee]

Ok. That makes sense. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bye
Thanee

[Gilga]

Not sure which option we go for - I had Anna using astral perception - but she would use her mundane senses once done, I am assuming a teamwork test? Or what do you guys prefer? At any case:

perception searching: 15d6t5 4

[Luckace]

If understand the rules correctly, a teamwork-test doesn't count as a repitition of a test (which would impose a -2 modifier), meaning we could actually search individually first, and then regroup for a teamwork test without penalty, right?
For astral perception at least, I would definitely prefer teamwork, as neither of us has an amazing dice pool with that background cound.
Wraith would rather have Anna be the leader, as he's not too good at assensing, but I guess that's to be settled IC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Gilga]

Sure, just roll cooperation and add to the pool. We currently have 3 or 4 successes depending on GM interpretation.

Well - whatever help Wraith had it did the trick:
cooperation dice: 1d6t5 1
4 - or 5 hits depending on searching modifier applying or not.

[Jack_Spade]

Yeah, you can also cooperate on astral perception.

I'll wait for the others to post their rolls before telling you what you all find.

[Volker]

@Squirrel & @Thanee
Your characters' responses were lost in our proceeding to the basement. Do they give bnc permission to access their commlinks?

[Thanee]

Yeah, no problem.

[Volker]

@Jack Do my 8 hits on the matrix perception tell me what happens if I type in the password wrong? Is the data bomb set to destroy the file after only one typo?

[Jack_Spade]

Nope, the databomb is there to prevent cracking the encryption
It won't activate for typing in the wrong password

[Volker]

That actually makes a lot of sense. Sometimes, you're so much smarten than mee (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
