You must be kidding. wink.gif

[ Spoiler ]


In total you had an expected average of 20 hits and you got a total of 24 hits.

That's not bad!! smile.gif


So, be happy about your good rolls already and use EDGE! on that Stealth Test! biggrin.gif

Ophis
um guys, rolls dammit.... then we can move along.
Thanee
See above post. wink.gif

Bye

Ophis
I was mostly meaning Moonwolf and Tattered Seraphim...

Thanee is a good player and may have a biscuit.
Moonwolf
Stealth: Dice 1 hit

Spending Edge: Dice 1 hit.

Total 2 hits.
Ophis
Okies waiting on Tattered Seraphim and Dranem(edge or not). Them I'll do some shiney description of what happens...

Doh! I looked at the rolls and thought 'where the heck has he seen the two hits there!?' then realized, that you linked to the page, which initiatites *new* dice rolls. biggrin.gif

These should link to the rolls you meant (don't click the above links, they will just add more rolls to the invisiblecastle database wink.gif):

I could spend Edge as Thanee suggested, but by the rules - since I didn't declare it in my roll, I shouldn't be allowed it.... so I'll let me roll stand.

Looking forward to seeing how the action rolls out. Looks like Alastor got tied up again, he's been quiet for about a week... frown.gif
Thanee
You can spend Edge after the roll, too. It just works differently. smile.gif

Or just let the roll stand... I'm fine either way.

Ophis
Tatteed Seraphim will be with us shortly, she's away with her other half...
Tattered~Seraphim
Heya guys, sorry about holding everything up. Last week was somewhat mental.

Ag + Infiltration: 12 dice

Rolls: 8 hits (with edge)

Surprise test: 11 dice
Rolls: 4 hits (with edge)

Edit: Surprise roll modifed.
Ophis
Surprise tests people no plus 6 due to the noisy hacker...
Thanee
With or without the +3 bonus? Need to make Perception tests?
I'll just make all rolls, pick what's appropriate. smile.gif

Perception (visual) 2 hits
Perception (hearing) 5 hits
Initiative (surprise) 2 hits +3 bonus 0 hits

Ok, not that it really matters, whether the bonus counts or not... spin.gif

EDIT: Using Edge on the Surprise Test sounds like a plan, actually, since she is using it after the roll, I will re-roll all non-hits (also re-rolled the potential bonus dice, of course). wink.gif

Here's the summary for the Surprise Test:

Initiative (surprise) 2 hits + Edge 4 hits +3 bonus 0 hits + Edge 1 hit

In total that makes 6 hits on the Surprise Test for Felice (or 7 if the +3 bonus counts).

Bye
Thanee
Dranem
Surprise Test(Initiative)
Initiative: Rea(4) + Int(4)
4 Hits! smile.gif
Moonwolf
Surprise test:

2 hits: Dice

This time it should actually work. Since, you know, I'm using the right info for the page. sarcastic.gif
Ophis
Okay, stage one complete, couldn't be arsed to make you roll for a comabt that was a sure fire win.

You have two chauffeur's uniforms, one should fit Clarke, the other is on a dwarf and while it would fit Felice across the shoulders...

I'll need a Logic+Auto Mechanics from someone for you modifications.
Thanee
When there are no other uniforms somewhere in a locker, Felice will look to mix and match her own clothes with the dwarf's (as said in an earlier post, she has some of her own clothes with her for that occastion precisely, something that is as close to the uniform as was available smile.gif)... maybe look for a way to detach patches and such and attach them on her own suit. Shouldn't be hard to get a needle and some thread either, if necessary.

Bye
Thanee
Dranem
Reg gets to work on the car as soon as they're on site.
Automotive Mech (2) + Logic (4) + Edge (2)
Hacking the car
5 hits! smile.gif
Thanee
You get to reroll that 6, too, since you used Edge. smile.gif

BTW, if you want to spend Edge on a roll (prior to rolling) like this, you can put 8d6.open(6) (or 8 rolls of 1d6.open(6), if you prefer them to be displayed in rows) instead of just 8d6 in at invisible castle, it will reroll all 6s automatically then. Quite nifty. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Dranem
Well re-rolling the 6 didn't lead up to anything...
re-rolling

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that in the future. smile.gif
Ophis
With 5 hits reggie can ace the fitting of a couple of bottles to the air con. Feel free to post on that.

If Felice can make an Int+disguise roll for her dress up. We should be good to go for the final movement.
Thanee
There you go...

Intuition + Disguise 2 hits + Edge 3 hits for a total of 5 hits

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Cool, I take it it's just going to be Felice and Clarke in the cars, with Reggie covering from the matrix.
Tattered~Seraphim
Alastor will go where-ever he's needed, whether as a guard at HQ or as a bodyguard.
Thanee

Yep.

Eury and Alastor will probably act as guards in the background. Following us in discreet distance?

Bye

Cool leaving Shiver and his spirits with Reggie looking after HQ.

Thats cool by me. Will post the next bit shortly.
Ophis
Okay folks thats all over bar the payment.

Just one thing left can Dranem give me a computer+edit roll for clean up?


Well done that took less than a year...
Ophis
We should have a party as th is game is a year old in a week... doesn't seem that long. Hopefully the next run will go quicker...
Tattered~Seraphim
Wow....................... so it is! I can't believe that it's a year already....... : S But now looking back I can remember now that it is. ^_^ A party would be good! Who's got some cake and party hats? silly.gif wink.gif
Dranem
Better question is: Who has the beer!? wink.gif
Ok, here's my roll...
Threading to make it stick: 4 hits.
Resist Fading: 4 hits, no pain! smile.gif
Computer(2) + Edit(3) + VR(2) +Threading(4) =
The Techno-magic Eraser
8 hits alone, 10 if you count re-rolling 6s! biggrin.gif
I am the ghost in the machine! grinbig.gif cyber.gif

Someone's post-happy tonight! wink.gif
Glad to see this run's rounding to it's end... And I got to add in one of my new toys in the final post. My fly-spy's are nice, but they hardly move fast enough to follow a car in traffic... the roto-drone is going to be a nice tool in the future.

Reg will give a drive to anyone who needs a ride to the park.

And so is your wife...

Yeah consider those cameras wiped.

Final post going up, you can all have oooh 10 karma for a job well done. Reggie can have 11 for doing a lot of the work.
Thanee
Did we get the other half up front? I must have missed that then. spin.gif

And how does Clark come up with 9k, anyways? Aren't we six?

Or was that meant to be the full 80k minus expenses, divided by six?

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
80K minus expenses equals hey wait a mo... 12K each I'll alter the IC... ooops
Dranem
With the cash in hand from this run, Reg is going to look at increasing lifestyle up to middle, and maybe get a gym membership to help tone up a bit more.
Not knowing much about the housing situation in Denver, I figure it should take, what, 2-3 weeks to find a decent place?

Let me know what you think.
Ophis
Depends how picky you are, I usually run Life style upgrades as instant...
Tattered~Seraphim
Magical Theory knowledge roll on whether Alastor would know whether 'magical tuning' could be applied to the guitar as Reggie's thinking:

7 dice
3 hits: 5, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 2
Dranem
Now having pre-paid 4 months of lifestyle... nah, I'll just leave that as it is and pay for a new lifestyle... call it collateral for my continued interest in the garage. wink.gif Which I'll probably spend many days at working on any bikes that come in...

Time to find a new place, pack and move... I figure the first 10 days, so I'll play it out like that. I'm going to take a shot at one of those all-inclusive condo-complexes that have a gym and pool on site... that is if there are any left that haven't been completely taken over by the corps. Otherwise I'll comb through some of the sourcedata and come up with something interesting.

Now that I'm done my rambling.... talker.gif grinbig.gif

Thats cool with me, the best non mega owned stuff is in the Pueblo sector, where quite a bit is government owned, but in an at arms length type set up.
Dranem
Ummm.... Buying into Pueblo PCC, there's something Reg never would have thought of... So I guess I'll be finding a nice flat in Edgewater close to Golden. Being anglo, it would be safer to reside in a area where I'm not the least common-denominator. wink.gif
Also if I hedge along the northern edge, close to Arvada, then there'll be less security concerns... particularly in assessing new tenants.

Now lets see if a Rating 4 fake SIN from Seattle can past through the building's ID-screening process. Seeing as using Reg's birth-SIN may raise a few eyebrows and create a lot of questions.
Paying hard nuyen for rent up-front will hopefully grease some palms to make things go a little smoother. wink.gif
Ophis
No worries, with rent up front thru the right shadow agencies... Reggie can get herself a new pad with relative ease.
Ophis
People can feel free to post equip requests and karma spending, I need to do some actual table top stuff for Alastor when I can get Tattered Seraphim free for a night, concerning magical group stuff just so people know. Once that's done I'll move right along.
Tattered~Seraphim
Huzzah! (Starts dancing in celebration). I'll message you over msn about when's good.
Tattered~Seraphim
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY UNDER ICY WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dranem
Well, with all the computer work that Reg has been doing, I was debating submersion, but instead went for increasing my Electronics group by 1 point. Let me know if you feel that Reg might need any courses for such and the cost in nuyen/time said increase should incur.

Outside of a new pad to live in, Reg hasn't sorted out any new expenses yet. But might had a mod or two to the roto-drone.
