[Tecumseh]

The thread/topic title got messed up. Does anyone know how to fix it, or is it just stuck this way, like the way we can't delete double-posts?

Raven's Character Sheet

[Jack_Spade]

Bobby's sheet is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/107f...wr2Q/edit#gid=0

[Gilga]

AM's sheet: https://stormy-waters-2075.obsidianportal.com/characters/am

[Tecumseh]

Ahh, Thanee is an Admin! Somehow that had escaped my notice up until this point. I guess I crit glitched my Perception test.

The next Interlude will begin a little differently than usual. The first IC post will be a 'newsy' piece about what's happening in the world. The second will be an update on SIS. It takes place on the Saturday following the events of Chapter 9, so just a few days later. I know what to write; I just have to type it all up.

[Tecumseh]

Gilga, interesting post. I see AM's new-and-improved stats on her sheet. Can you also record the metamagic (quickening, I presume), plus the Force of the spell and how much karma was spent to quicken it please?

Did AM's height change? If so, how tall is she now?

[Gilga]

She is 1.90 cm.
- It is an F8 spell quickened with 3 karma.

I manually added an initiation rubric, as well as quickened spells tab. For some reason chummer does not print them though they are all there.

[Tecumseh]

She's bigger than Mato! I have him at 1.85m.

She's just gonna glow on the astral, isn't she.

[Gilga]

She'll have a visible aura of manipulation magic on top of her regular aura, but the oversized clothes would finally fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Beta]

Tamarind's character sheet (all updated)

https://brexbasicbackups.obsidianportal.com...acters/tamarind

karma spends:
- Lightning reflexes 40k
- Gearhead 22k
- Perceptive 1 10k
- Intuition 5→6 30k
- Pilot skill group 5→6 30k
- hacking 1
- cybercombat 1
know: redmond gang 1>2
know: Seattle ord crime 2>3
Know: Touristville area 1>2
Know: Seattle food delivery 1>2
know: gambling 0>1
know: sioux sign lang 1>2
know: gardening 2>3

Nuyen spends:
2 replacement Kanmushi 2000nY

(assuming that intuition and pilot skills is things she was working on / getting back to her peak performance after some years of rusting away)

Rest of the nuyen will be held for now, assume that she spent a week looking at any larger expenses that happen after the interlude (for sure she is looking at some more up-market armored clothes, either generic of what can be found in Run & Gun. But the availability codes for the Run & Gun stuff means it is next to impossible for her to get them with her contacts, so I'll figure that part out later)

[Tecumseh]

@beta
Advancing the Pilot skill group from 5 to 6 would be 30 karma, not 36.

@gilga
was the drone that was carrying the card (that Mato clutched so tightly) anything interesting? If not, he would hand it over to Tom and Rat.

On that note, do Tom and Rat disappear for good or would they come back at the end of the month?

[Gilga]

It is a horizon flying eye. If you like them as characters, then let us make them come back. However, I suspect that Tom would still join the Halloweeners to keep them roofed/safe. (again since we co-gm it is not set in stone - i thought it would make the relationship a bit more interesting).

[Thanee]

She'll have a visible aura of manipulation magic on top of her regular aura, but the oversized clothes would finally fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Astral wards will also pose a little problematic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Bye
Thanee

[Beta]

(I updated the post with the link to Tamarind's character sheet -- all done now)

[Gilga]

About complications with the growth spell, don't feel like you need to hold back so that I, 'Gilga' would not be frustrated about the quickening initiation or the few karma tossed to the spell. AM would have totally tried it after what happened to Mato, it would be an amazing experience for her even if it does not work out with the practicalities of our profession.

[Jack_Spade]

Untrained roll on security firms:
Knowledge Security: 2d6t5 1

otherwise, if I can use security procedures as an aproximation with a -3 mod Knowledge Security Procedures: 6d6t5 3

[Gilga]

Matrix security: 11d6t5 3

In case matrix security is relevant.

[Tecumseh]

Things are skewing a little more high-class than I originally intended. My goal was an upper-middle-class neighborhood full of respectable people with respectable politics who are members of respectable policlubs. They are either retirees who are coasting or young corpers who are climbing. They're not mega-rich, but their relative comfort and affluence should still stand in stark contrast to Touristville.

[Jack_Spade]

Bobby bought

20 Stealth Tags (20 Nuyen)
5 Pack Electronic Parts (1000 Nuyen)
1 Data tap (300 Nuyen)

He tries to modifiy a Persona Firmware onto a stealth tag

Using magic to be better with my hardware kit, spending 3 reagents to increase the limit beyond force

1 1/4 hours later, Bobby has a stealth tag modified to be used as a commlink.
It has A0 S3 D3 F3 and is capable of using sleaze based matrix actions - and small enough to fit into his squirell pants™

[Gilga]

Closest thing to a cyberdeck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Beta]

Nice, Jack!

Perhaps Tamarind can get Bobby or AM to modify her RCC for 1 point of Sleaze, so that she can at least edge her way to doing sleaze activities with Electronic Warfare.

[Jack_Spade]

I can make more of them for AM and Tamarind.

[Gilga]

Technically AM can do it herself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) but it was inspiring to see how Bobby did it.

[Jack_Spade]

Once Bobby is comfortable enough, he'll harvest parts from other devices and make those as throwaway hacking devices.
