FYI...I would have used spell pool for the test, not the drain.

Blah -- I had the Dons step in on the IC thread -- let's see what Grey says and it'll probably become moot.
Blitz
Feb 20 2004, 03:24 PM
works for me!
Dashifen
Feb 20 2004, 03:40 PM
Good -- incidentally if you can, let me know where you want to put your spell pool dice in the future -- even if it's just something like use spell pool until I get 4 successes and then put the rest onto the drain roll. That way I can more accurately represent what you were hoping to do.

Is everyone waiting for me to reveal Medea's plot, etc or is there something else you all wanted to do?
Blitz
Feb 23 2004, 03:22 PM
Im waiting!
Elfie
Feb 23 2004, 04:02 PM
I had nothing to do at the moment, so I'm waiting.

That explains it. i'll post this afternoon.

Yup, I was waiting for a GM update to things.
Dashifen
Feb 24 2004, 01:47 PM
Thousand appologies -- had problems with my job -- i.e. I might not have it anymore, so I was trying to deal with that yesterday. Good news is: I still have it. Other good news is: I'm posting the damned next step IC.
Dashifen
Feb 24 2004, 02:14 PM
Duster is moving to stay with Sophia and Gio. Blitz: let me know if you're going with your family or with Gio's or if you're sticking with the group. Everyone else: any objections to the Don's plan?
Elfie
Feb 24 2004, 10:45 PM
No objections to what happened. The spiel I posted wasn't meant as a fast talk or anything, he was just saying whats on his mind, hopefully away from most of the group.

If you guys don't want to exchange gear or stop anywhere, I'll push everyone up to the warehouse. Since you got in the car with someone else, Blitz, I just moved Sophia right up to the warehouse. When I hear from the others about stops along the way, I'll be able to determine if anyone is at the warehouse when you got there after 50 minutes of driving. For everyone's information, it's probably about 8:00pm when we get to the warehouse.
You hit the hospital at 3:00pm
You got out of the hospital probably at about 3:20.
You got to Ana Mia's and started trying to unravel this mess between 3:30 and 4:00.
You met the Carolettos at the bar around 6:00
The Rosseli's showed up around 6:20
You fought Medea and the goons around 6:30
Half hour for clean up and healing takes us to 7:00
An hour to meet at the warehouse puts us at 8:00
Dashifen
Feb 26 2004, 02:04 PM
Okay. If you guys want to try and set anything up at the warehouse, be my guess. If not, I actually have an evening free tonght so I'll try to post the follow-up to this post, which will include the rest of the people arriving and the beginning of the interrogation.
Do you all have a preference for how that is run? I could either let the Don's do all the questioning and you all just get to hear about what happened, or do you want me to leave time for your questions to get answered as well. I perfer the latter so that it's not me just typing a story, but if you just want to get this part over with, then I can just post some huge whomping thing and be done with it.
Elfie
Feb 27 2004, 08:55 PM
So long as I get paid, the Don's can braid Medea's hair for all I care
Dashifen
Feb 28 2004, 04:10 PM
Okay, two things.
1) Got a message from TinkerGnome and with all of this travels, etc. he's decided to leave Mojo on autopilot because he's lost track of what's going on. So, if you need Mojo to do anything, just tell him to.
2) I'm going to post in short episodes for the story. That way you guys can interject questions as well should you so choose. I'll try to do one post a day for the ending here so we can move pretty quickly through this section, but I'd hate to just post the entire interrogation in one long post and not let you guys do anything!
Grey
Mar 1 2004, 05:58 AM
I hate to ask this, but I got a little confused. Remind me again which one Lasher is?
Dashifen
Mar 1 2004, 01:40 PM
Lasher is the whip weilding elf that Rowan was fighting and dropped with the gel rounds outside of the bar. He was just one of Medea's mercs, but he wasn't dead so the Carolettos brought him along. He's worked with Duster before, too,
Dashifen
Mar 1 2004, 02:08 PM
I have to get some work done, but I'll try to post again this morning for the rest of Medea's confession.
Then, for those that are interested, the Families have a new job for you (and you have to get paid, too). Let me know who's interested in continuing the game with these characters. Mojo will probably refuse only because he's an NPC and it gives me a way to get rid of him. If enough of you want to keep going, I'll keep going as well. If only a few people are interested, I'll try to get one or two new players.

Im game for a new job.

I'm in!

I'd like to keep this character alive
Blitz
Mar 2 2004, 12:54 AM
sure thing...
Dashifen
Mar 2 2004, 01:56 PM
Cool, that's everyone -- moving on then ... IC posted (four pages in word, too
Blitz
Mar 2 2004, 04:07 PM
DAMN...that's the longest post Ive ever seen here!!!
Dashifen
Mar 2 2004, 04:28 PM
Didn't seem like anyone wanted to ask questions so I just finished it out. If you consider that I could have done the last three posts as one well .... the who conversation is 9 page word document. I should write up the whole thing as a story ..... hrm ........
Heh -- I mention payment and all of a sudden people start posting again
Dashifen
Mar 2 2004, 04:32 PM
Blitz: would you want to keep playing Sophia or add someone else back into the game. It's up to you. Sophia could definately become involved in trying to save Geoff's family, but eventually it might be harder to explain why she's still involved -- especially being married and all.
Just foor for thought. I love where you've taken Sophia and the hospital wouldn't have been near as interesting if I had been trying to control Sophia way back when, so I'm not trying to force you to switch characters, just thought I'd raise the point
Blitz
Mar 2 2004, 06:00 PM
Yeah....Sophia's story is mostly done. She might make a reappearance, but as an NPC since she holds a little too much weight to be a PC. I have a feeling her rank in the family will rise and her marriage to Gio is definately going to add some power and clout to her, Gio and their children.
Im not sure if I have the time to join in, what with my game and the other two Im playing in. I think Im just going to bow out gracefully...
Dashifen
Mar 2 2004, 08:00 PM
Okay. That sounds okay then. Do you want me to take over Sophia at this point or do you want to deal with the wrap up. No offense to Sophia, but it's doubtful that either Don would pay her as they're paying Akuma, Lex, Mojo, and Rowan so if you want to bugger off to other games, I'll see you in Crimson Assets and Checkmate
Grey
Mar 2 2004, 10:15 PM
Are you giving out any Karma for this run?
Elfie
Mar 2 2004, 10:25 PM
Hey, I was just waiting for the Don's to finish their questioning. I'm not involved in either family so who off's who isn't really my concern, so long as I get paid (or can play both sides to get twice as much pay

QUOTE (Grey) |

Yes, but I want to go back through the IC posts a little and see where I should tailor things back and forth for cool actions, good descion making, planning etc. I'll probably get that done tomorrow morning and continue with the IC thread conversation.
Grey
Mar 2 2004, 11:46 PM
One question... if we continue the game, who is going to be our magic support? We just lost Mojo and Sohpia.
Dashifen
Mar 3 2004, 01:46 PM
I have a ringer that I'm bringing in. It's a friend that's played with Elfie and I before and she's been tired of listening to me rave about the good time I have playing online so she thought she'd try it. I know how I'm working her in.
Also, Mojo will be around for the next few posts, probably, until I have a way to write him out of the story that isn't abrupt. After that I'll get the new player involved shortly depending on your actions.
Also: I'm giving everyone 8 karma for the run. I was origianlly planning on making it worth only 5, but I think that you all deserve the bonus. Little things like Grey acting on Akuma's backstory a little in the car and at the beginning, Elfie fully working out Lex's programs and how he interacts online, Rowan's conversations with Bob and your ideas for planning and executing the run were pretty complete and well planned. Plus, you all reacted and played really well in the bar and the fight outside. Just all around I thought it was a fun game and had a good time.
I'll probably give the same 8 karma to the new player, too, so that she can use it if she so chooses. Let me know if you want to apply it right now. I usually don't worry about training issues unless you're trying to learn a new skill. Especially if the skill you wish to increase or the attribute you want to raise came in handy during this run, then I don't have a problem if you apply the karma right now.
phelious fogg
Mar 3 2004, 04:31 PM
Rowan's going to spend it on raising athletics from 3 to 4, the climbing incident had me kinda scared for a little bit. That leaves me with two karma. WIll we have a chance to try to spend the money thats burning a hole in our pockets?
Dashifen
Mar 3 2004, 04:44 PM
That's up to you guys. The Don is going to formally ask you to assit in finding Geoff's family. The Families themselves are going to be buys cleaning up after Medea so he's going to offer you all the chance to help Geoff. If you take the time prior to accepting the offer but before actually going in to save the family, then yes, you'll have the chance to purchase stuff with the gear. It'll also depend on what you want. If you want something with an availbity of 2 weeks it may not arrive by the time you get through with Geoff's family, etc.
Edit: Oh, and before I forget, you can all consider Gio and Sophia level 1 contacts. Probably somewhere between level 1 and 2 but I'll leave it at 1 for now. Might go up (or down) depending on how you save Geoff's family
phelious fogg
Mar 3 2004, 05:26 PM
Bascially I was wondering if I could put in an order for new equipment, I figured we would be going directly into the next run, as well.. Rescuing family is a timely matter.
Grey
Mar 3 2004, 05:32 PM
Well, we may be able to put the order in and get it from our new Mob Boss/Johnson.
I know that Akuma wants two clips of Capsule Rounds with Gamma-Scopolamine for his pistol and rifle.
Grey
Mar 3 2004, 05:38 PM
Errr... make that Narcojet. With street index Gamma costs 900 a dose. Grated it does 10D stun, where Narcojet does 6D, but Nacrojet is only 150 a dose. Plus Narcojet is availibility 3/48 hours, where Gamma is 8/2 weeks.
Dashifen
Mar 4 2004, 02:45 PM
I'll have the Don offer to help you all with equipment on the IC thread probably tomorrow so you can use him, for the moment, as a fixer (talk about connections). I'm working with our new player to get her up to speed and get her character done tonight so I'll probably be ready to go on tomorrow morning.
Grey
Mar 4 2004, 05:38 PM

My laptop is dying -- it's failing somehow and rebooting -- so I'm going to be re-tooling for a few days. I'll be in and out to post when I can. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Dashifen
Mar 8 2004, 09:57 PM
Okay. I've a new laptop and a connection while I'm on spring break, so it's all good
![smile.gif](http://invision.dumpshock.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
I've also got our new player lined up. Her name is Soluna. She'll get involved when you guys contact the PI that Geoff handled. Seemed a good way to get her involved halfway into the run was to have her working on the same "case" as you all are now planning to work on.
Grey
Mar 8 2004, 10:14 PM
[edit] Whoa... wrong thread.
Soluna
