Ward is your garden variety opaque astral barrier, force 6. Made with Hermetic magic, similar to the templar style. You have the astral signature of the creator, most likely a single individual, as there is no resonance of group work.
Synching up, you won't know until you've tried to pass through. Rules are vague, I'm going to lay down that if someone bounces, the creator is not aware. (Note this will apply to PC created wards as well) The creator is aware of any attempt to destroy (combat) the ward. So you can attempt to synch up, if you fail you bounce but the creator does not know that you attempted anything. |

That's exactly what I'll try, as soon as I get my MiTS back (out for the afternoon). Unless some kind soul wants to remind me of the rules for sync'ing up?

Masking Roll: 16 11 09 05 04 04 03 03 02 02 01 01 (3 successes) Astral Pool: 09 05 05 03 02 02 (1 success) Total: 4 successes I believe now the ward makes a roll using it's Force vs. my initiate rating (6). |

I like combat as much (if not more than) the next guy, but drawing down on cops? Does that at all sound like me ;) |

Rolling per Fenris:
11 11 09 07 04 02 Astral:11 10 05 05 03 02 There is a second ward laced along the inside of the room, the first shell is on the outside of the room. Gives a gap of about 4" between them. |

Assensing on the ward: 10 09 05 03 03 01
Astral pool: 04 04 03 03 02 01 Looks like 4 successes at TN 4. Going to try and sync up with the second ward assuming the force isn't ridiculous. |

Fen--Perception test to note other things in the room, I gave you the immediately obvious. Also questions and directions to what you are looking for may lead to more specific info.
Shadow--What are you doing? Buddha/Sparky--Thoughts or comments? |

Perception: 09 08 03 01 01 01
Astral Pool: 03 02 02 01 01 01 Templar Magic: 08 05 05 04 04 03 02 (What's the chip of wood in the oil?) First and foremost, I'm looking for defenses, especially magical. Guardian spirits, wards, that sort of thing. Secondly, any information I can gather about the man himself, training, weapons, etc, hopefully an astral signature. Anything else guys? As far as I know, it's just a quick, initial scan. |

In case it wasn't clear - that first bit of my last post was a daydream Edana had while at her meeting. Herne is back and forth between Crash/Gellawyn at Downtown's place and her interminable financial meetings.
Fen, those sound like fine things to look for. Other things... stuff he likes to eat, residue from places he might frequent (churches)... |

Fenris--Most likely the exterior ward is his own. Searching the room, you find a collection of melee weapons and firearms inside cases in drawers. It's difficult to make out clearly what they are because the cases are foam packed, but you can tell that they are no larger than an SMG nor smaller than a heavy pistol.
Magical defenses, there are the wards you passed through. No spirits actively patrolling the room. The sense of the room itself is one of stoicism and pain. In the closet, you also find an extra set of riding gear and gloves, so he probably rides a motorcycle. Re: the chip of wood--It is some form of relic but you can't say for sure what it does. Templar Magic is heavily influenced by the Church, and with the awakening, several of their relics have proven to be magically active due to the level of belief the world has in them. |

Ok trying to create a hard copy of the image.
Also how are we doing karma spending in this game? What's the drill for spending it and all that. Thanks! |

Same as my other games:
People earn one karma per week. Apply as you see fit and shoot me over the updates. If you want to initiate or do odd things like that, work with me and we'll see what can happen. |
