He was in human form.
And thats another reason why Sander is far from scared: we have NO proof that "Peri" is a dragon. He just said "I am a dragon" and everybody bought it

Well, it uses a very close approximation to dragonspeech, something that I am only mentioning once I am out of range.

Actually going by local average Peri is a small dragon...

I'm just hoping Thanee's guess is for the height of the human form...

Can an Earth spirit move people through earth if it has the movement power? How about rock?

Nope, they help movement on the ground. Moving through the earth requires burrowing (they would be able to help tunneling vehicles) or a special metamagic technique.

Okies, looks like people are planning at Alastor's place. (hope he's not attached to it yet...) Any dissenting voices? speak before morning uk time (about twelve hours time) or go along with the group. I'll post the journey then.

Which is why he's only suggested it as a for tonight only meeting place pretty much.

Okies I'll let people move on at their pace for the mo, not wanting to disrupt any roleplaying. Carry on.

Sorry to say this guys, but I'm bowing out of the game. It was really fun and I enjoyed the roleplay a lot, but I feel like I won't be able to dedicate the attention that I should. I will let Ophis decide what he'd like to happen to Sander

I'll definitly keep reading the thread

You guys have fun.
Take care.

Dammit, and I was so looking forward to coming to a mutually beneficial understanding. best of luck in your future endeavours.

Yeah, sorry to see you (and Sander... I mean... Clark) go. It was fun with you. Take care!

Bye
Thanee

P.S. ...one mundane left...

Sorry to see you go.

I'll run Sander as an NPC for the moment, until I have a suitable point to ki... er write him out.

Sorry to see you go man, it's been a pleasure.

Shiver intends to do a dual natured astral looksee around the immediate area, then depending on the result may go full astral and search for astral spies.

Astral looksee
Assesnsing the flat 7d6 (7d6=26) One hit. Am awaiting result on what I see before I decalre any further actions.

Nothing astral at all hear.

Edit- Thought you were outside...

As I had not posted while everybody was arriving I just acted like I had come in with everybody else. assuming the place isn't warded I'm now going full astral, and taking a look outside, just pushing my face through the window, and in the corridor, and scanning the other rooms in the flat. Anywhere a spirit could be hiding. what should I roll, is it assensing again or do I use my last result? I won't bother manifesting. I will check astral space for strong emotions recently in the area etc. I intend to take my time over this.
ophis:

Summoning watcher: 2 hits Dice
Drain: taking 1 hit per 4, drain resisted.

Assensing roll for the area

Okay, assensing roll for area

The area is clear of anything suspicious. A few security spirits flitting around outside in the area, mostly covering the nearby border.

Ok.. first I'm going to locate the band's site - see what the 'official posted tour' is... figure out their usual method of travel.

Next I'm going to scan the datahavens, probably the streetbeat forums to see what 'news on the Trix' I can pick up, fandom blogs and sites, running a search routine keyworded to pick up data bites on their tour. I'll have the rolls later this morning once I figure out what that all entails. I unfortunately don't have any 'music knowledge' skills, so I'm defaulting on my network knowledge to 'google/altavista style search' all the info I can find.

Dranem do a datasearch+browse extended test for Reggie please.

Ok, here's my search...

Thats starting to get some where, feel free continue to make tests and add up the sucesses. Each test takes 1 minute.

Ok, I'm not going to Thread each one... that would be roll consuming to say the least.
I'm going to spend the next 10 minutes searching for info.

Keypoints I'm looking for:
Where is the Band now?
How do they travel?
What is their itinerary? (official, rumours, etc)
And also to see what kind of entourage they have: roadies, bodyguards, do some 'lucky fans' ride with them on occasion, do they bring all their own stage help, how is their equipment carried.
If I remember correctly Peri said our 'target' is being carried as personal luggage, so I doubt it'll be in with the rest of their normal gear, but if any of us can somehow slip in as stage help/crew, that might give us a non-offensive 'in' we're looking for.

Which gives me a total of 25 hits, giving me 30 hits total with my previous roll.

I'm also going to compile a Data Sprite to continue monitoring blogs, forums and other sources that I find so that - once I'm done this run, she'll be able to tell me if any information has changed: New rumours, sudden change in travel plans, any breaking news, etc.

So I now have a Rating 6 Sprite with 3 jobs owed (Would have compiled a higher one, but wanted more services)

hm 30 successes that should get a little info.
Dranem heres what you get.

Could we get an overview over the band members (name, band role, metatype, sex, known/suspected 'habits', etc)?

Should be common knowledge, I suppose.

But I can also make some rolls (Data Search? Club Music?), of course.

Bye
Thanee

Thanee make some rolls, Int+club music will do.

Don't now whats up with that post, it should be spoilered...

Okay here's what Felice knows...

Doh!
Ok, I forgot the obvious questions... which Felice brought up... also would like to pick up photo or two of the band, so that we can pick them out by sight. (With and without make-up if possible.)

Got it, without make up is harder but possible.

I have no actual piccies for you sorry

That's ok, we don't need any 'real' pics of the band as player handouts, just so that Reg can put up a holo or trid pic of them for the team to be able to recognize this face as the drummer, etc....

Yeah but piccies would have been nice, damn that ref!!!

Don't sweat it about the pics,

Where is everybody?

We all waiting on Reg telling us what he found out or what?

I think thats it...

I guess we can assume that Reggie tells us the above.

Bye
Thanee

Sorry, I've been really busy at work lately and haven't had much free time, I'll have a post up shortly.

@Dranem:


Bye
Thanee

@Thanee


Sorry about the mistake on who's pad it was.. no idea why I had it stuck in my head that it was Eury's pad....

I've corrected both of my posts where I made the mistake...

Nobody has any ideas on the getaway, then? This could be funs...

Well there's three ways we can do the Limos.
1) Commandeer the limos, knock them out, do the swipe, drop them off and dissapear once they reach the hotel.
2) Commandeer the limos, bring them to a drop spot, take the guitar and take off in a gettaway vehicle.
3) Commandeer the limos, knock them out, bring them to a drop point where we switch back with the original drivers after taking the guitar.

The last option would be the most expensive option as we'd have to pay off the original drivers rather than just take them out.

Err, since when do limos need drivers? almost anything on the road has at least a rating 1 pilot program, why not use that?

Anyone who feels the need for a brain behind the wheel....

Sorry bout my disappearance this weekend. Was away lrping again.

A rating 1 pilot system is not going to be able to compensate for sudden changes in traffic. The best it can manage is a grid-guide link to synch the vehicle with traffic patterns to suggest the best route and speed... A limo would still require a real driver in case anything unexpected comes up....

Lucky limos come with a rating three one, then?

Unless it's rigger adapted, most vehicles are still driven... Would you step into to a driverless cab or limmo? The chance that a hacker could tap into the vehicle and hijack it is too high, I would see limo services requiring a driver for more than one reason...
