Posting format:-No sigs in the posts.
-All rolls and OOC questions/comments go in the OOC thread.
-You can spoiler things if you’d rather keep your actions secret from the other players, but I won’t be making a big deal out of it.
-At the beginning of each posts, use this format for the header (LitSers will recognize it

):
00:00:00 Monday January 01 2070 – Location-All names of PCs and NPCs go in
bold.
-Thoughts are in
italic.
I guess that’s pretty much all I can think of at the moment.
If you have any questions, just post them here.

[ Spoiler ]
I'm summoning and attempting to Bind an Air Elemental force 3. This is an Opposed Test.
Conjuring + Logic = 6 Success. WOW!
Okay, I know that roll seems wild so I copied the dice roller results and pasted directly. FYI I'm using the irony games dice roller.
Roll results
You asked for 8 rolls and your target is 5 ... here are the results:
1: 6 + 4 = 10. ... Success
2: 4
3: 5 ... Success
4: 3
5: 6 + 4 = 10. ... Success
6: 5 ... Success
7: 5 ... Success
8: 6 + 5 = 11. ... Success
6 successes
I can't calculate Drain until the Spirit makes its Opposed Test roll (Force of Spirit x 2 dice)

[ Spoiler ]
For things like spirit rolls, I trust my players enough to let them make the rolls for it. I'll do it this time, but in the future, you can do it yourself

Spirit Rolls: 1, 2, 2, 3, 6, 6
Hits: 2
Cedric Rolfsson
Jul 12 2006, 08:51 PM
Mr. Juan
[ Spoiler ]
Okay, I wasn't going to take liberties, especially not after that ridiculous roll for binding. I'll just do the spirit resistance in the future too.
So as I understand it the Drain value is 4S at this point. Note that I should have used my Magic + Summoning rather than Logic, just caught that.
Drain test Willpower + Logic 9 dice
01, 01, 02, 03, 04, 04, 05, 06, 06 = 3 Successes
1 box of Drain.
It will take me three hours to summon the spirit, and then I'll rest until the meet to get rid of the drain.
{edit Stun Healing roll Body + Willpower = 9
01, 02, 02, 03, 04, 04, 05, 05, 06 = 3 Successes}
Mister Juan
Jul 12 2006, 10:35 PM

[ Spoiler ]
Actually, you've only "summoned" the spirit. To bind a spirit you must do as following, in order.
1-Summoning Test
2-Spirit Rolls
3-Drain Resistance
4-Binding Test
5-Spirit Rolls
6-Drain Resistance
If I'm not mistaken, you're only at step 3. You have sucesfully conjured up a Force 3 Air Elemental (for which you have to pick a "optional power"), gotten 6 services, and suffered 1S drain. The spirit is now yours, until sundown. If you want to go ahead and bind it, you must roll an opposed test between your binding+magic agaisnt the spirit's forceX2 (so 6 in this case). Net hits cancel each other. If you get one net hit after substraction, you got yourself a bound spirit. Every other net hits over that one adds to the services owed.
Cedric Rolfsson
Jul 12 2006, 10:46 PM
CRAP!!! Sorry, still working the rules, and away we go.
[ Spoiler ]
Binding + Magic = 8 dice
You asked for 8 rolls and your target is 5 ... here are the results:
1: 1
2: 5 ... Success
3: 6 + 3 = 9. ... Success
4: 5 ... Success
5: 2
6: 1
7: 5 ... Success
8: 4
4 successes
Spirit rolls 6 dice
You asked for 6 rolls and your target is 5 ... here are the results:
1: 5 ... Success
2: 4
3: 4
4: 6 + 3 = 9. ... Success
5: 4
6: 6 + 6 + 5 = 17. ... Success
3 successes
HA! That was a lot freaking closer than I'd like! I thought I'd get at least one extra service out of that first roll. Anyway, I at least bound the bugger.
Query, is it okay to just cut and paste the roll results like this? I find it easier than typing them in manually but they are much longer. If it bothers you let me know and I'll quit.
Mister Juan
Jul 12 2006, 10:58 PM
Cedric
[ Spoiler ]
It's quite alright in this manner.
You must now resist the drain of the binding, which is equal to twice the amount of hits scored by the spirit... which is 3 in this case, so thats 6S to soak up.
You also have to choose one optional power for your elemental since it's force 3.
Cedric Rolfsson
Jul 13 2006, 12:30 AM

[ Spoiler ]
I'll get this right eventually, trust me.
Drain Logic + Willpower = 9 dice
You asked for 9 rolls and your target is 5 ... here are the results:
1: 5 ... Success
2: 6 + 1 = 7. ... Success
3: 4
4: 1
5: 3
6: 5 ... Success
7: 2
8: 1
9: 3
3 successes
Ouch. Okay, that'll be 4 boxes of Stun damage for both tests total.
Optional Power = Noxious Breath
I'll have at least one stun box still when I get to the meet. Ah well, such is life.
I've modified the IC post to reflect the multiple levels of drain sorry again for being such a dit brain on this. I'll review the rules again to make sure I'm up to speed on these from now on.

Sorry about the late post. I was looking for posts from MJ to Dual, and should have known that he wanted someone else to contact me.

That'll teach me not to read everything.
Makes sense though. Dual was up late the night before, so he'd get the message late today.
Also, would it help if we posted in the OOC section some desciptions of our characters? I'm assuming Dual saw A'ja in her message, but I'm not sure what she looks like.
Vegas
Jul 13 2006, 04:32 PM
A'ja would have specifically used your respective fixers name when she explained how she found you guys for this job. She also used video messaging so that she wouldn't have to do the whole "I'll be wearing..." or "Ask the doorman for..." crap

As far as descriptions go... She's Elven, she's tall (6' 1"), she's attractive. Long black hair, crystal blue eyes. She's got a hardened edge to her with all that she's been through, but there's a softer side just underneath as well. She doesn't take a lot of crap Oh yeah, and she smells *REALLY* good
BlackHat
Jul 13 2006, 05:06 PM
You sent a scent sim-sense track in your message? WOW. Dual's kind of teammate.
j/k... unless you really did, in which case "awesome"

Gun will show up at the bar about an hour early to scout it out. He wont go in though until five minutes till. He will be dressed fashionably.
BlackHat
Jul 13 2006, 06:28 PM
At some point in the 3-hour window Dual has, I would like him to look up information on "The Sports Bar" - both to get directions there, and to figure out what sort of a place it is (what to wear - what the rules are on personal weapons). Based on the name, I would assume it is a standard sports bar, but I'm not sure.

Also, did A'ja leave her name on the message?
He might also perform a very basic reverse-lookup for the commcode address used to message him (A'ja's commlink). Not to break in or anything, but mostly to see if its a registered number (even to a fake id), totally unregistered, or a spoof (in which case, my reply was unlikely to succeed

) - if she's staying online throughout the day, etc.
Mister Juan
Jul 14 2006, 12:32 AM
Just wanted to let everyone know that I was off for the night... and so, I probably won't be back in "posting mode" until late tomorrow (gotta sleep that hangover off ya know

)
Anyways, here's what anyone looking up info on THE Sports Bar would fine. I know Dual is looking for a map and dress code, and so, I'll send that info to you (BlackHat) tomorrow. More in dept and "shadow" information will follow.
[ Spoiler ]
Mid-Size Restaurant and Bar
Situated at University Street & Terry Avenue
No Racial Bias
LTG# 206 56-6785
THE Sport Bar is considered the best of its type in Seattle. The family-style restaurant is divided into two large rooms, each catering to a different sport. Both rooms have the most advanced trideo systems and wireless hubs. The food is all-American, with a curious touch of Native American here and there.
Rumor mill: THE Sports Bar has been under investigation by the city for a variety of crimes, including fronting for the Mafia, spiking customer’s drinks with drugs to loosen their inhibitions and credsticks, and even the use of unspecified meat in their burgers.
The last owner, Don Sipilia, vanished in thin air in 2055. He was last seen walking to his car in the employee parking lot, after closing.
If anyone has anything else to add to their legwork, post it now IC or OOC. Tomorrow, I'll bump things along to the meet.

Ha, no... no scent attached, I was thinking more ahead for when they meet at The Sport Bar.

Yes she would have left her name.
if
Dual looks up her number, it's a registered number to the name of "A'ja Rose" and on a cursory check would look rather legit. She's got it up and running 24/7 and a fairly full mailbox

Dual arrives almost exactly at 4 (I am aware that according to Vegas's post, A'ja doesnt' arrive for another 45 minutes or so). Assuming there is no trouble at the door, Dual will enter, and nonchalantly look around before finding himself a place to sit and order a drink. He'll basically be keeping his eyes open for A'ja (for nearly an hour).
All of his wireless devices besides his commlinks will be in hidden mode, since most of his gear works DNI or through skinlink.
He'll be wearing casual clothing. Dark pants and a grey shirt with a black secure longcoat over. He's trying not to stand out too much, but definatly wants to give off a cliche' "Shadowrunner" look. He'll have a grey roman numeral two on the coat, but otherwise won't make any attempt to signal A'ja when she enters. He'll be watching for her commlink though, and would probably message her around 4:30 (having still not seen or heard from her) with the following:
CODE |
<Dual>: At the Sports Bar. Message me when you arrive. Anyone else I should be looking for? |
Again, no voice accompanies the message, and the only video feed is a still image of a roman numeral two.
