Using my negotiations to assist Mr. Juan.

Roll for first hits with edge: 5 hits, damn edge dice didn't reroll for hits frown.gif Dice

Roll for assist hits: 1 bonus hit, better than nothing Dice
Dranem
Not bad... 6 Hits on an assist is pretty nice smile.gif

Mr Morgan is a local Johnson. Good rep but noted for making or breaking teams he hires.

And know we know why... Teams that Peri hires either make it, die or end up as lunch! eek.gif indifferent.gif
Moonwolf
No, it's +1 hits. Got 5 on my real roll, and then only 1 of them turned out good, I rolled the assists too.
Thanee
Wouldn't you roll that 6 again on your initial roll (because you used Edge)?

Ophis
Peri doen't eat people for lunch.
Humans sit heavy on the stomach and thus make it problematic to carry out afternoon biz without a nap.
Thanee
You just say that to lure us into a false feeling of safety!

I said nothing about dinner smile.gif
Tattered~Seraphim
Ooooohhh dear.......... I think that I've just remembered sommat about our 'new friend'.... ooc, this could be interesting.......
Ankle Biter
I am not sure if this is a doable spirit service, so I am putting it in the OOC section for now...

It may be hard to follow, Ophis, so if you have any questions about what I am asking for PM me. This is probably counting as an extended sevice, but I am not sure if a spirit can be ordered to the metaplanes. As part of the service I am giving the spirit the wording of the message I would like delivered.

On the spiritual plane
<Please carry the following message to
[ Spoiler ]
"Shiver", is currently in negotiations with the dragon Perianwyr, with regards to some work that Shiver could do for him, if you would care to negotiate for payment in kind on part or all of Perianwyr's payment for the mission, Shiver is open to offers.'>
Moonwolf
I rerolled the 6s, they came up crap so I didn't link them.
Thanee
I see. wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Anklebiter you can send a spirit with that message as a service, what and if you get a reply is another matter.
Ankle Biter
Fair enough, I'm doing it then. I figure my mentor Spirit may be interested in something that a Dragon may have to offer, and if not, at least I asked.
Thanee
Why am I just reminded of this table in this shadowrun book...

“You want me to do WHAT in this cup!?”

Thanee
Note to Shiver: You are aware, that dragons are dual-natured, yes? wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ankle Biter
Well aware. That's why I'm not assensing him, he may take it as rude...
Thanee
Hmm... is it obvious, if someone is assensing you?

Anyways, I had thought the spirit is with you on the astral plane, but after re-reading it, it doesn't seem like that. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Assensing people go unfocused and vague, if your looking for it you can see it as a mundane. On the astral it's fairly obvious.
Ankle Biter
In addition to my IC Post just now...

If he can't hear me then no harm no foul. biggrin.gif

I have a feeling I may have to make some kind of diplomacy style rolls at this point, as the dice pools are all the same here are two of them.

Getting a response from Lightbringer, if it is listening. (7d6=28) 3 hits.

Getting a favourable response from Perianwyr, if it is listening. (7d6=22) 1 hit.
Ophis
Just a warning, I have some personnel shit going on at the mo. Most of you who know me IRL will know about this, no other plans will be changing, but there may be some diruption on my posting routine. Just thought I should warn people.
Thanee
Thanks for the heads up! smile.gif

And that run sounds like a really fun idea, Ophis. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Glad you like it.

The weekend is likely to be fairly quiet as Tattered~Seraphim is away in a field, and Anklebiter is up visiting me. However since legwork is in order(if a price is agreed) it should run fine.
Thanee
Should I roll anything to figure out how well-known the band is (see my previous IC post)?

Bye
Thanee
Ankle Biter
checking my nifty rating 6 hugeass Denver mapsoft, what is the distance from the Denver Hilton to the Denver Exhibition Centre's concert hall?
Thanee
What offer of 80,000? Must have missed that. smile.gif

BTW, Felice said 100,000 right before.

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
Distance isn't huge, I'll hunt my mao today and tell you in person.

80,000¥ it is sorry thanee, but Felice has got a dinner offer.

If people would like to head somewhere and plan, it would seem a good idea.
Thanee
Without Sander's offer we would have gotten 90k. grinbig.gif

Anyways... going to post IC. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Mister Juan
Actually, original payment was 70 000 if I'm not mistaken. Sander negotiated a raise of 10 000 nuyens wink.gif
Thanee
It was 75k, but now I have also found the post with the 80k offer... totally missed that, as mentioned above. biggrin.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ankle Biter
Anybody want to open a book on who snaps first, Sander or Shiver? biggrin.gif
Mister Juan
wink.gif
Oh man, it's probably going to be Sander nyahnyah.gif
Thanee
Books are not in anymore. wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Ophis
If any one runs a book round here, its going to be me.
Who'll give me Sander at 2 to 1?
Mister Juan
Should we handle this little "altercation" pure RPing? Or should I roll something (probably intimidation)?

This is fun! biggrin.gif
Ophis
Gives us an intimidate roll Mister Juan with +1.
Ankle Biter give us a Willpower+Intimidate+2 roll.
Remember that Intimidation is not in the influence group.

Once we have the results you can use them as a guide for role playing, I believe that social skills should affect PCs but only as an influence on actual Roleplaying.

Feel free to carry the argument on I'm enjoying reading it. I won't say who's side I'm on, that would be unfair.
Mister Juan
Intimidation Roll: 5 hits
Ankle Biter
Shiver resists intimidation

[1,5,3,6,3,4,1,4] 2 hits
Ophis
Mister Juan I see no Intimidation skill on Sander's sheet, so he's defaulting. You lose the last dice and the hit it rolled, poor you. You get 4 hits, shiver gets 2, shiver is somewhat scared and will probably want out of this situation. I'll wade in if I see RP not fitting to this.
Ophis
Weekend over. Normal posting can now resume with out fear of ref loss.
Now I think that it's Sander's action in the argument...
Tattered~Seraphim
And I'm back now too. ^_^
Gah, I ache... it's been farrr too long since I've done any proper larp. But said weekend was great.
Ophis
Guys, you can continue roleplaying now...
Dranem
Like Felice, Reg is just waiting for the rest of the team...
Ophis
Yeah, thought so waiting for Mister Juan and Ankle biter to finish up. So I posted some foreshadowing to amuse myself.
Thanee
Yep, yep. I'm here (had little time during the last couple days, but apparantly I havn't missed much) and ready, but basically waiting now, since Felice's current actions have already been stated.

Bye
Thanee
Mister Juan
For some reason, I wasn't getting the automatic "topic has a message" thing. Sorry I didn't noticed before.
Thanee

For some reason those notifications seem to be rather unreliable. I've heard that quite a few times, that someone didn't get that message (on different forums).

Bye
Thanee
Mister Juan
Yea, it's not the first time it happens. I think I'll just go back to manually and visually checking the boards wink.gif
Ankle Biter
By the way, what gave Sander the impression that Shiver had folded to the dragon? I ran through the posts again, and apart from my relentless fanboying, I don't see anywhere where I behaved differently to anybody else would in the presence of a (10-20 meter ish? how big is it anyway?) armoured killing machine...
Mister Juan
Well, the reaction of "idolating" the dragon is what ticked him off. He simply thinks that everyone agreed and gave in way too fast, making it much more difficult to siphon more nuyens out of the deal.
