You hit the trifecta, Bastard. Carry on. Koekepan, are we in any kind of 'roll Initiative' situation? And aside from the Confusion, is there any other sign of the spirit? |

You aren't (yet) in an initiative-rolling situation - but you could be, if you wanted to.
And no, the spirit is apparently reducing their propensity for escape, but not bringing the thunder so far. |

Reading the Spell Defense rules I discovered I had been doing it a bit incorrectly before. No more spell pool dice than Sorcery dice can be allocated. I know that now.
Good to refresh on occasion, I guess. |

Alright! Karmakaze shows Blue who's really 'got this'.

QUOTE Something glints in the light from the box still on the dolly. It moves; a snake's head peeking out? Things are really coming to a head! Initiative if needed: 4+ {1D6: 4} = 8 Yeah, this is something Blue is gonna have to fix, sooner rather than later. |

Karma is going to try and coop with the LS... 2 successes
[ Spoiler ] Wait! Are they Lone Star? ... 2 successes [ Spoiler ] Well, hopefully I am convincing using Etiquette / Performance. Hopefully... Etiquette ... YIKES, hopefully 3 successes and not a fumble! Performance ... 4 successes! [ Spoiler ] And one more thing: Lets prepare and action to shoot Mr. Fireball Pants if makes an aggressive or "spell-ish" move. |

Blue will be ready to do what is necessary, but I think the fight is out of them now. I hope we can snag that snake, or get the company staff to do it.
Of course, it might not even be one of those snakes. Just a ruse to cast shade on Petsonal. |

Hey! How did the spirit do that flashing light thing? Is it a manifestation of the Fear power? I wanna know for later!
Oh, yeah. There is also the thing where the GM can have spirits do stuff PCs don't know about yet. (And players can't find in the manuals.) In which case ... hmmmm ... there could be some leverage in knowing something new about spirits. |

The flashing light ... well, it surely was fear-inducing?
Maybe that was something that this spirit has up its sleeve? |

In case Karmakaze goes for it, here is a roll for the Mindlink spell:
Sorcery 6 + spell pool 2 + Owl 2 = 10 dice, target 4: 6 successes ... 5 more than needed, but hey. Resist Drain WIL 12 + Owl 2 + spell pool 4 = 18 dice, target 2(S): 16 successes No Drain. |

OK. Now we get to see how persuasive Karmakaze can be.
Heh heh. |

OK, now might be a good time to roll initiative. Pbangarth, I'll take your earlier roll. Bastard, give me a fresh one.

He either needs a strong mentor to put him on the straight and narrow, or he needs a set of magecuffs. Which, is anybody's guess. [/quote] So, this bring up a question. Can a Shaman 'mentor', help train up Magic Attribute, etc., for an Adept. |

In principle, yes, but it depends on the worldview of mentor and student. A nietzschean owl shaman is not likely to be a great match for a street adept.

1 success, so not a fumble, but not a work of classic art.

Blue tries to figure out what these creatures in the box are.
No skill in Paranormal Animals (yet another thing to bone up on), so Default to INT 4, target X + 3 (College Education): 5, 7, 16, 1 All right! He might have an inkling! Here's my guess (Not Blue's): Nimue's Salamander. If I'm right, Blue might have been lucky in that last spell casting. |
