He's not at the proposal.

Thanks, I'd forgotten. Edited my IC

[Tecumseh]

I presume Chan's invitation is a test vs. Thorton's specific instructions, "Do not let any of the guests draw you into conversation or pull you from your assigned charge."

That said, if Igor, Invictus, and Thorbjörn have all departed, does that mean that their assigned servants are standing around as surplus staff, or did any of those servants depart with their charges?

[Jack_Spade]

Those instructions were meant as part of the event - once guests leave, their servants are no longer bound - and can help clearing the table

But yes, here your own discretion is required.

[Tecumseh]

Can I get a sense of what Harabia is up to at the same time? Dancing? Sitting and talking?

Is it also possible to get a sense of the scene in terms of crowd or room size or general confusion? Is this a vast room where dancing would take Mato far away from Harabia, or are things fairly intimate, where you're never too far away from anyone else?

[Jack_Spade]

The room itself is pretty large, but the dancefloor is relatively confined.
Pike dances with the Duchess, Harabia with Jenny.
If you dance you'll actually be closer to them than if you stand to the side.

[Tecumseh]

Thank you, that helps. It seems that both options entail a degree of risk. I'll take a chance on the dance.

Not sure if a skill test is in order. Reviewing the rules, Dance is a specialization of Gymnastics. I thought for sure that it was under Performance, but I guess it makes more sense for it to be linked to Agility than to Charisma.

[Gilga]

@Jack if Trouble pierces the illusion what does he sees? Is a spell to make the ring prettier or perhaps it is a fake ring?

[Jack_Spade]

The reverse: The illusion is covering the detection spell - the ring does seem to be the genuine article.

[Tecumseh]

"Nothing but. You Huns can frag right off. Vandals, all of you."

As a History major, I appreciated this line.

[Jack_Spade]

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

[Gilga]

Aha... Manscape or something like that to make the detection spell invisible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ofc AM would not know that.

[Beta]

@gilga if Van Der Bloom is drugged or drunk, Jawsey has the detox spell -- he could even send a spirit to cast it if he is occupied elsewhere.

[Gilga]

Tanks for pointing that out.

[Beta]

Summonr F4 spirit of Man with innate spell: detox
summon spirit 3+1=4: 9d6t5 1
spirit resist: 4d6t5 1
drain resist: 13d6t5 3
Fizzled, but no drain,

Try again.
summon spirit 3+1=4: 9d6t5 1
spirit resist: 4d6t5 2
drain resist: 13d6t5 4
OK Orokos, very funny. (fizzled, no drain)

Try, try again.
summon spirit 3+1=4: 9d6t5 4
spirit resist: 4d6t5 0
drain resist: 13d6t5 2
Finally! 4 services, no drain

Once the spirit gets there:
detox spell from F4 spirit: 8d6t5 3

[Tecumseh]

Cool post, Beta.

[Beta]

Thanks! Sometimes the dice rolls just scream out for a story to explain them. And it is fun coming up with his own inner (implicit) mythology to identify spirits.

[Tecumseh]

Chemsniffing:

Chemsniffer Ring R6 * 2: 12d6t5 3 hits

Not a great roll, but per Cutting Aces (p. 140) the Threshold is 2 so it should be enough.

[Jack_Spade]

You find a chemical compound on the cheese that a quick matrix search reveals to be a medicine against allergies - with the side effect of severely reducing the body's ability to metabolize alcohol.

[Tecumseh]

Logic tests are usually Logic + Willpower but in this case the dice pool is the same for Mato:

Logic + Intuition/Willpower: 9d6t5 4 hits

OOCly, I'm going to guess a quad-copter or some sort of drone.

[Beta]

memory: 10d6t5 5

(also same pool either way for Jawsey, too)

[Tecumseh]

Question on this:

Mato's radar sensor penetrated the outer wall and registered another wall about half a meter in, creating a closed crawlspace inside the walls. The inner wall appeared to be shielded with a Farraday cage setup. Someone had gone to quite some effort to shield the family's private life from any kind of surveillance. The doors had been shielded, too.
For just a second he thought he could make out a humanoid silhouette inside the wall, but when he looked closer it was gone. In any case the image had been to brief and indistinct to tell if it was a person or a spirit.

So it sounds like there's a half-meter gap between the inner wall and the outer wall. Is that space filled or is it empty? Is it like a very narrow hallway that goes around the perimeter, or is it full of utilities or ____? I'm trying to determine if this is medium suspicious or highly suspicious.

If Mato goes through the first door, is there a second door right away? Or is the outer door the one that's shielded?

[Jack_Spade]

You can't make out much of it, but you know about the barrier of awakened plants and bacteria. Those have to be maintained.
So it is a utility crawlspace, allowing access
There are two sets of doors
