OOC: Vein of Truth, An adventure into the wilds Options

[TinkerGnome]

:ic: thread

The recruitment thread (if you have a need for it for some reason)

Okay, posting conventions.

Cyan lines are datelines.
Orange items are locations
Bold items are PCs and NPCs

The only ones you guys really need to worry about are bold items (make sure PCs and NPCs are all bolded in your posts). Also be sure to indicate your character's name clearly in each post (in bold). You can use whatever convention you like, but I generally try to work it in to the first five words or so. With 8-10 players, it's going to take a while to pin down who is who.

As a reminder, the potential cast is:

Belfast -- RoUS -- Mage
Evans -- FXcalibur -- Street Sam/Medic
Hellcow -- Number 6 -- Face
Raven -- Shadow -- Gunbunny
Raven -- JaronK -- Weapons Expert
Skeeter -- Tisoz -- Magician Adept
Swift Eagle -- Panzergiest -- Physical Adept
Thor -- Beast of Revolutions -- Rigger
Sedryk -- Chance359 -- Street Sam
Brand -- Crechebaby -- Demolitions expert

Oh, and in case you haven't seen it, here is a really good map of the Sprawl. It's in shockwave, but well worth it.

Can we post IC? Your thread left me wondering if that was okay.

[TinkerGnome]

Yep, IC is fair game as of now. Provided I have a rough character sheet (which I do for everyone except for Brand and Skeeter). Also, for the next 10 minutes or so, try not to do anything to upset me... I'm on the phone with the IRS and want to strangle someone ;)

[A Rodent of Unus...]

So you're saying now would be a bad time to prod you with a stick, eh? <pouts a bit before putting his away>

[TinkerGnome]

Whew. That was a long time on hold. Anyway, good news from the IRS for once, so that solves any dangerous moods ;)

[A Rodent of Unus...]

Woohoo! Congrats! Let the prodding begun. <prod prod prod>

[TinkerGnome]

It just shows how youthful and foolish I was when I posted "10 minutes" a full 30 before I was really done with them ;)

Anyway, feel free to post at will. The meet starts Friday, so the sooner you start on what little legwork you can do, the more likely you'll actually get to do it.

As per normal, you guys can make your own rolls. Just post the results on the OOC board (ie, here) when you've done so. I highly endorse McMackie's die roller. Keep in mind that you can mask large numbers of rolls with the spoiler tag. Ie:

[ Spoiler ]

Roll 1 01 01 01 01 01
Roll 2 01 01 01 01 01
Roll 3 01 01 01 01 01
Roll 4 01 01 01 01 01
Roll 5 01 01 01 01 01
Roll 6 01 01 01 01 01
Roll 7 01 01 01 01 01

Makes the OOC seem less cluttered ;)

[Panzergeist]

Making cyanide has a TN of 4 and a base time of 6 hours.
Chemistry test: 1 2 4 4 4 Two hours per dose, I make 2 doses and coat 2 arrowheads with them before going to the bar.

[JaronK]

So, when Raven asked if any supplies will be provided, what was the answer? Just want to know what kind of shopping will be necessary.

JaronK

[TinkerGnome]

Fredrick is pretty much telling all he knows. He doesn't know if anything is going to be provided, but arriving with survival gear probably wouldn't be a terrible idea. Given that it's a smuggler pitstop that the group is heading to, you've got a fairly good idea that getting some basic gear there won't be a problem, though it might not be the cheapest stuff in the world (well, it likely will be, but the prices won't match the quality).

[TinkerGnome]

The deadline came and went... and I have 10 characters now. Everyone is cleared to post. I'll be doing responses later this morning and in the afternnoon to whatever needs to be responded to. The meet post will be occuring this Friday.

I'll go ahead and rewarn that there's going to be a bit more "leading by the nose" up until the meet, at least.

[crechebaby]

This whole two Ravens thing is kinda confusing. Is there any way you guys can refer to yourselves that would make it a little less so?

I have no suggestions, other then the painfully obvious Raven1 and Raven2..

[A Rodent of Unus...]

I say they engage in a knife fight. Whoever's left standing wins the honor of using the name.

[tisoz]

I vote they post a bunch so we can decide on an appropriate nickname.;)

Operator, connect me to Hell, please. Hell? Yes, I can wait. (Like you thought you were going to get a direct line.)

Later...

Much later...

Hello? Yeah, what's the weather like there?

Because I'm playing Shadowrun with Doctor F. ;)

[TinkerGnome]

I figure it'll be an interesting bit of spice at the meet ;)

[TinkerGnome]

Here's a map of the bar, for those interested. New visio is good! Old visio is bad!

[FXcalibur]

What kinda drinks are available at the bar, and how much do they cost?

[TinkerGnome]

Standard stuff is available. Lots of synthetic alcohol and quite a bit of real stuff. There are also some Salish drinks if anyone wants to dig into what they're called. I used to know, but have since forgotten.

Anyway, drinking and the like is part of your lifestyle unless you're really living the poor life.

Perception test for Skeeter to find the bar: 08 02 02 01

[JaronK]

Once the meet happens, I'll be switching my name, to avoid confusion. This is a running character for me, though, so his name will have to be Raven until then.

JaronK

[Shadow]

Hey, that's funny. Both 'Ravens' are Snipers/Samurai's.

[JaronK]

Well, mine's not really a samurai... but it IS pretty funny. Oh well, we'll see how the meet goes, eh? I know my Raven would be pretty amused by the whole thing.

JaronK

[A Rodent of Unus...]

Bleh, all these distractions keep coming up and keeping me from finishing my intro post. <pauses to shake his fist at the heavens> I *will* have something online by tonight though. My apologies for being so tardy.

[JaronK]

I'm assuming I can spot Fredrick without much difficulty, but in case it's an issue:

[ Spoiler ]

Perception Test: 1 4 3 4 5 5 5
Complimentary (Stealth: Awareness): 1 1 5 3 7 8

And a stealth roll to remain relatively unnoticed until things get started:

1 1 3 5 8 11

[JaronK]

By the way, exactly which table is Fredrick at?
