The mob counts on its reputation to protect the place from gutter punks. Start trouble there and they will finish it. It is a well known hangout of several bosses and they each walk around with a small army....
Should be fine.
Nobody really cares as long as the guns stay down. |

Shadow: Just letting you know that I have read Sedna's response in the LiTS:OOC that passes control of the outcome of Virgil's actions over to you in ASVW. I'll be watching these threads now . . . let the fun begin :)

I would like to give Dragon and Daed a chance to post before I move forward.

Shadow: Will you be needing me to provide you with any rolls or additional information pretaining the the actions that were listed in the Virgil - spoilers? I am just wanting to know because the information that Virgil could potentially obtain may be important recon that should be radioed to Dragon.

Shadow: Astral perception rolls for Virgil inside of the restaurant, though I could understand how there might not be much for him to observe at the moment. I just want to be thorough for you.
Int (6): 17 (OMG) 04 03 03 03 01 Aura Reading (4): 21 09 05 01 *Too bad this probably won't turn out to be the most vital of rolls. |

Surprise (Reaction = 9) Test: 9, 9, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1
Initiative Test (3D6) = 9 + 9 (6 + 2 + 1) = 18 Perhaps I had the wrong Vinnie? :) SR13 |

OK now I need to ask a question. Ronin is at a conference, but he said he could post once a day, so I was waiting for him to post before doing anything, viewing that as the logical 'next occurrence'.
Dragon would not have allowed Tenmou to approach and speak to Vinnie. Granted, Tenmou could have just said the message anyway loud enough for Vinnie to hear, but the point is that Dragon could have physically intercepted him before his arrival at Vinnie's table and asked him to wait until he and Daedalus were done, which is what he would have done. In retrospect, it would have been clearer and more helpful if I had posted a 'hold action' or something to that intent in the OOC thread, but I think my IC posts made it clear that Dragon was monitoring the situation very closely and he was in a reasonable position to intercept Tenmou before he got there. Ergo, I request that Dragon be allowed to intercept Tenmou before he comes to stand in front of Vinnie and politely request that he wait. Again, I realize Tenmou could easily render that moot, and I realize also that Shadow, as GM, ultimately it's your call. So that's my request and logic, let us know what you want us to do. And in case I get shot down (figuratively, hopefully not literally!) Surprise: 11 04 04 03 02 02 01 (might use karma pool, depending on how many successes others roll, or do you want me to declare that now?) Initiative: 24 |

When Vinnie came out and asked him who he was, if given more time, would you have said something or done something to stop Tenmou from speaking to Vinnie?
(remember you did notice Tenmous aproach and did nothing) I surely want to make it work the way you feel your character would have acted, stupid boards screw us up sometimes. |

(Please forgive, Shadow: it's your thread, and after this I'm backing right off again.) Sorry, WinterRat, but I'd override you there: it's a matter of less than a second and a few words, and what are you going to do, jump to intercept him and clamp your hand over his mouth? Based on this:
Compromise: Tenmou's not right at the table, just as close as he could get before Dragon started moving to intercept -- cautiously, I'm assuming, so the interception itself doesn't spark anything. Note that this could mean that Dragon ends up providing partial cover for Tenmou ;) |

I follow where the mixup is coming through. Here's the words, my interpretation thereof, and what I would have done if I was controlling Daedalus. Can't speak for Ronin, only me. This was SR 13's post:
I responded with:
My interpretation of the phrase 'faded back' was that Tenmou had stopped several feet behind Dragon and Daedalus, not standing right behind him nor heading towards that spot. I realize I was vague in my definition of 'reasonable distance'; that however was my intent behind the phrase, based on my perception of where Tenmou was relative to the table. That is also why I did nothing when Tenmou approached, because of my interpretation of 'faded back'. Of course I was reading a lot into those words, but since I can't see him, only read what he's describing unfortunately sometimes mistakes or inconsistencies between intrpretations are made. If I was controlling Daedalus, I would have said something to the intent of making it clear that Tenmou was not with D&D, and made it clear that I was asking, and expecting, him to wait until we had concluded our business with Vinnie before he (Tenmou) tried to start his. Unfortunately, before I could post that, Ronin and I talked and he said he'd take control of his character. Blast... And as Dragon, if it was obvious that Tenmou was approaching the table with Vinnie and Daedalus, I would have stopped him at a distance and asked him to wait. So anyway, that is my final case. I don't want to bog the game down, and if you say that Tenmou just moved too quickly for Dragon to intercept or Dragon misread him and then couldn't react in time, that's fine. And if that's the case, well then in the words of Willem Dafoe in Boondock Saints... *Raising arms to the sky* "There was (or shortly will be) a firefight!!!" Unfortunately. :( |

And has anyone noticed that whenever there's a combat or extremely tense situation with significant possibility of personal harm, the posting rate suddenly jumps through the roof? :)

Virgil's rolls - astral of course, but still it will be useful to know when he can return to his own body.
Surprise (astral): 17 08 07 04 04 03 Initative: 30 Cedric: Yep, roll reaction. Can you believe this, GM and PC stuck in the same disaster :-P |

Oops, sorry again! (doing a real lousy job at this fading back thing):
Quite apart from anything else, Daedalus' reflexes aren't in the same league as Tenmou's :) |

Give me a little time to think about this. My inclination is to say there was a in game communications failure between D&D. Dragon though Daed was handling it and Daed thought Dragon was handling it. In the meen time Tenmou just poked his head up.
My interpertation of Tenmous 'fade back' was that he was standing at least 5 ffeet behind D&D. However, Vinnie still took him to be part of your gang because he was standing near you. Give me a little time to mull this over though. |

Not to speak for the wrong side . . . but if I were Vinnie (mob player currently a bit paranoid about being wacked) I'd probably just shoot first and sort it all out later.
Insert evil laugh here . . . . |
