Yeah thats how I would like it. That way the IC thread makes sense to me, and people don't fuck up by assumption, it also allows me to work on my written action descriptions, the bit of my writing I know is rubbish.
Ankle Biter
Great. I am not very good a this whole wait several hours for this turn to happen, but I can do conditional descision trees like nobody's business. I will roll my learn spell after we finish visiting the crucible.
Ophis
It is weird, you're going to have to get up here sometime soon so we can play for real. I may run for Alpha team if I can get everyone around on the same day...
Ophis
Okay guys, I'm going to kick off the next run on Sunday or Monday coming up so any down time statements/RPing you want to get done, should be getting done.
Thanee
Ophis, could you edit this into the first post of this thread?

Then it is easier to find. smile.gif

Well, I suggested <The Boiling Crucible> as I tend to avoid places at which I picked a run up immediatly after the run is complete.


Five by Five =/= Denim biggrin.gif

Ankle Biter
Sorry, got them mixed up, doh.
Dranem
I'm surprised one would confuse the two!

The Denim is the techno/pop bar we met the J, often a runner hangout.

The Five by Five is the country/western pub we passed in the second set of tunnels between the CAS & UCAS sectors. It's a smuggler and coyote hangout.
Dranem
Reg's Shopping List:
MAD Scanner (r3) for my Stormcloud drone (avail 6R)
Radio Signal Scanner (r6/4R) for my bike

Roto Drone (avail 6)
+ Camera
+ MAD Scanner (r3/6R)
+ Motion Sensor (avail 4)

MCT Fly-Spy (avail 6)
+ Camera
+ Microphone

That should be it by now.. let me know if you want me to roll anything to reduce the time to acquire these items, and if there is any variance from the regular list price (that is if your running off the prices are different in Denver rules for gear)

[edit]
I also want what would be effectively a pda (leave it in off-line mode) to use as a storage device. Probably a Sony Emperor/Redcap Nix, but want to see costs before I spend too much wink.gif
Ophis
Thanee your wish...

Dranem, you got em.

Alas, you will find that I have the memory retention of a stunned goldfish OOC. I actually did fall on my head as a child. wobble.gif

Makes it rather hard to play intelligent characters.
Ophis
But you do such good idiot savants...
Ankle Biter
Yup, I reckon Ankle Biter (at least at creation) counts as one of those...
Ophis
Okay folks, not much downtime going on so onwards with the next job.
Mister Juan
Once Dora wakes back up, Sander will ask about this friend of hers, Pete Morgan. Later in the day, he'll call up both Donny and Crispin to see what they can dig up about both Pete Morgan, and the place the meet is taking place.

If you need me to roll anything, just say so.
Thanee
Where is that bar/club? What sector, what kind of neighbourhood?

Bye
Thanee
Dranem
Its not in the 8 page Denver suppliment - I'll have to check to see if it's listed in the Original Denver sourcebook when I get home. (Or could be something the GM made up wink.gif )

Running some Shadowland data searches:
First on this Peter Morgan
CODE
Shadowland: Browse (5) + Data Search (3) + Threading (4) = 12 dice
Hits: [B]5[/B] /  6  1  6  4  4  4  6  2  5  1  4  5
Threading: Software (3) + Resonance (5) = 8 dice
Hits: [B]4[/B] / 3  5  3  3  5  3  5  6  
Fading: Willpower (4) + Resonance (5) = 9 dice
Hits: [B]5[/B] / 3  5  6  5  6  5  2  3  3  
General Media publications seach: Browse (5) + Data Search (3) = 8 dice
Hits: [b]3[/b] /  2  3  5  5  5  4  1  1  

Umm... think I'll thread that.. original roll was only 3 hits. Fading excedes hits, no pain. smile.gif (good thing, I'd hate to have to take physical damage on threading for only 2 more hits on my role!)

Then a public and Shadowland scan on what/where/atmosphere/what to look out for about the Weekday Eclipse
CODE
Browse (5) + Data Search (3) = 8 dice

On the Weekday Eclipse

The best music venue in Denver, see the bigggest new bands of the year... two weeks befor they get their first record deal. Very cool, UCAS sector reasonable clubland area I believe(I'll hunt down the book and confirm ASAP).

One odd little fact, it's part owned by the Dragon Perianwyr...

On Peter Morgan

A local johnson, believed to be an alias. Seems to be a talent scout. Teams he employs either hit the big time or hit the morgue, high risk high reward. He's human, tall with shoulder length dark hair and rougish goatee beard, good looking and dresses well but understated.
Thanee
Sounds like a club Felice probably has been to a few times already. wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Mister Juan
I know this is probably metagaming, but wasn't Perianwyr's long time partner a guy called Kyle Morgan? Am I the only one who finds this concidence rather strange? wink.gif
Ankle Biter
I will spend a fairly subdued night at whichever club was decided on, respond in the positive to the job offer, and then take some time to learn the increase reflexes spell. (5 karma.)

Here is My roll to learn the increase reflexes spell.
Ituition+spellcasting+edge roll to learn increase reflexes (13d6=52)
6 hits, 3 6's
Reroll 3 hits for increase reflexes learnage. (3d6=10) 1 hit, a 6.

Reroll 1 hit for increase reflexes learnage. (1d6=2) no more hits.

7 hits in total, I think I learn it in less than a day. smile.gif

I would also like to purchase a Yamaha growler from my fixer contact. (5500Y)
and a helmet from same (is it 50Y +0/+2 or 100Y +1/+2 for a standard motorcycle helmet)

You could easily have the latter with no change in appearance, but I would say a standard motorcycle helmet would be the first.

And the guy is some sort of super assassin who was working for Aztechnology I think.

This could really suck for us wink.gif
Ophis
Whistles non chalantly and tries to hide Mercurial and A Killing Glare. You'll see where this is going.
Mister Juan
We need more ammo.
And rockets. We definitly need rockets.

Nooo, don't nuke him! You'll just make him angrier...
Ophis
I'm chasing Moonwolf, people can feel free to arrive, I'll sort out the meet proper when he's responded.(or dump him if it takes to long). Apologies for the wait.
Tattered~Seraphim
I'll just assume that Alastor's been healed up ok and is fine, if that's ok. ^_^
Dranem
Provided that your 'mentor' has a good healer, I hope that Ophis agrees smile.gif

Would look funny seeing Alastor walk in limbing, holding his side or looking like he'd just been in a wicked bar fight. wink.gif
Thanee
Felice has some equipment put into a sports bag and stashed in some locker somewhere in the vincinity, in a tram station or whatever there is, which has no weapon scanners installed (shouldn't be hard to find out). Not in a high-security neighbourhood, obviously. Just in case we need to start right after the meeting again. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Smart Felice

The healer is damn good btw. (particularly on magic people)
Moonwolf
Sorry about the delays guys, bad times here.

In downtime, Eury is wrestling with his Indian demon some more:
Binding: 3 hits Dice
Resiting: 0 hits Dice
Drain: 2 hits Dice
Ankle Biter
Do I have time to get the Bike and learn the spell before the run starts?
Ophis
Yep. Bike was thru contacts, so they take the time, remember the extra 10% finders fee.
Ankle Biter
Not sure what you meant by that second part, so they take the time... to what?

Anyhew, If there is a 10% surcharge fair enough, so long as I have the bike for the meet.

I would like to summon a force four spirit of man with the optional spell "increase reflexes" but as the meet is just after sunset I am doing it more or less just before the meet. (I could be stunned there)

Hrm, invisible castle seems to be freezing, roll will appear in a different post.
Ophis
QUOTE (Ankle Biter)

Find the bike for you.
Ankle Biter
Oh, what rolls do I need to make to get to UCAS from Pueblo?
Ophis
One of the following, per border.

Ettiquette+cha+fake ID rating. Threshold 3.
Thanee
It's always a good idea to collect stuff like that in the first post of the OOC thread in some fashion, so anyone looking for something can just check there first. smile.gif

BTW, can we use defaulting (1 hit per 4 dice instead of rolling) for those tests?

Bye
Thanee

P.S. It's all one big conspiracy... biggrin.gif

QUOTE
...and Oddballs by Drop Bear Love is just finishing up

Moonwolf
Border 1: 3 hits Dice
Border 2: 4 hits Dice
Ophis
Yeah, defaulting is fine.

Hey don't get all surprised it's in my sig...
Ankle Biter
Borders 1 and 2 rolled together (11d6=47, 11d6=42) 7 hits, 3 hits.
Ophis
Just waiting on Mr Juan.
Tattered~Seraphim
Knowledge test for Alastor having heard of Mr Morgan before:

Int 4 + Denver Shadows 4 = 8 dice

Rolls: 6, 6, 6, 5,4, 1, 1, 1 = 4 hits
Ophis
Mr Morgan is a local Johnson. Good rep but noted for making or breaking teams he hires.
Mister Juan
Sorry for the delay guys.
Just started a new job wink.gif
Ophis
Cool, no worries, next couple of week my be a bit slow from me for same reason.
Mister Juan
Negotiating with a fraggin dragon:
CODE
Rolls: [6] 3 1 2 [4] [5] [5] 1 [6] [6] 1
Hits: 5


Ah man.... I should have SO used edge! That would have been awesome.
Well, I just hope the thing doesn't bite Sander's head off.
