@Team #2
Been six days since Cedric's last post but if memory serves correct, Tuesday's are good days for him to post!
Cedric Rolfsson
sorry guys, yes I'm here, I've been slogging through at work.
Cedric Rolfsson
Okay an Air Elemental with the concealment power should solve this problem, unless an Earth elemental is more appropriate. I figure Air since anyone trying to see or hear us would perceive our presense through energy transmitted through the air.

Here goes.

Summoning + Magic (cool.gif = 1 success

Oops, I forgot to paste the link, sorry.

Opposed Spirit test (3) = 1 success

You can link to this roll at

Hmmm, this could be a problem. . . .paging through book for outcome.

Okay, no spirit appears, still resist drain and try again.

Drain = 2xSpirit Force = 2 DV

Logic + Willpower (9) = 5 successes

You can link to this roll at
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1229390


Okay, try again, Force 3 spirit roll with concealment power

Summoning + Magic (cool.gif = 1 success (1 F---ING SUCCESS AGAIN! ARG!!!)
You can link to this roll at
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1229393

Spirit roll (3) = 0 successes
You can link to this roll at

Drain = 2DV
Logic + Willpower (9) = 5 successes

Force 3 Air Elemental with Concealment Power owes 1 service.

I'm going to have him conceal the SUV since I've only got one service from this guy. I can only have one unbound elemental and it takes hours to bind an elemental so I suggest Collateral moves in front of the SUV and we provide a rear screen. Maybe we can have us appear on his GPS tracking unit or something which should negate the concealment for just him.

RJ, I know there are pollution factors to consider so let me know if the outcome is the same and I'll throw up an IC post.
Redjack
@Cedric Rolfsson
Pollution factors are superficial in this area for the most part, just like the earth elemental.
Go ahead and post.

If you meant for the distraction modifier to apply to both driving and perception, my driving tests are 4 hits and 1 hit, respectively.

@Team #1

Is there someone you all want me to post forward to? Drop Whisper off...or perhaps drop Whisper off and post up to the bar...?

@Team #2
You all still here?
Unarmed
Yup, sorry! Planning on making a post today. =)
BishopMcQ
I was waiting to the bump to Whisper's or possibly all the way to the bar.

Team 1--Did anyone have thoughts on a plan before we get to the bar?
Storm
Has 'drop Whisper off' been mentioned yet? Oh.. Why yes.. I see it has..

*whaps kvasac with a dead fish*
Unarmed
Idea!

I'm sure this is obvious, but if we can make it across the bridge we should perhaps try to destroy it afterwards.

You are remembering more reasons why this route is so rarely used by smugglers and so lightly patrolled by border patrol.


Aeryn needs a memory update... considering she only remembers things when it's too late. biggrin.gif

Every route held its challenges and your backside was in jeopardy no matter your chosen route... Though I doubt it would have been worn as a hat on any of the others!! rotfl.gif
Cedric Rolfsson
Okay, my concealment spirit thing isn't working. Any ideas short of send a fire elemental to materialize in their gas tanks?
Thanee
QUOTE

No, really... grinbig.gif

BTW, in a reply to Zions question... is the bridge the only (known) way across here? DICE ROLL


@Cedric: How about an Earth Spirit to secure the bridge (guard us) while we are going over it, and afterwards (2nd service) trash it, so noone else does.

Bye
Thanee
Saytr
sounds good. i was going to use collaterals gernade launcher to obliterate the bridge after we passed over it. if you want to use a spirit to destroy it then go ahead. it would be easier for me to just blow it the frag up.

@Team #2
I moved your OOC to a separate thread to separate it from team #1. Please bookmark and use going forward.

@Team #1
Kvasac, blackhawk1w, Storm, Trigger..? Any ideas?
kvasac
Well, if no one has to add anything, Jake is going to head of to Whispers place. We can look for further info there and Jake can fix his drone.
blackhawk1w
As it stands i cant see any reason not to gather somewhere so we can think out what we are doing next
BishopMcQ
Storm--I have to ask, how are you going to use ritual sorcery? For the ritual to work you have to be able to assense the target, which is done by having an astral spotter go to the location of the target. As we don't know the location, we need a spotter and material link.

The material link is generally only good for a few hours, and we know that the bad guys had been there for that long. Has it been confirmed that the material link is still valid?

Do you have an astral spotter? Preferably in the form of a bound spirit or member of the group, as an unbound spirit will add to the tracking test modifiers.
Redjack
QUOTE (SM @ page 28)
Instead of an astral spotter, the ritual team may opt to use a material link to target the spell.

She has the mindlink and mind probe spells as well as the option for spirit tracking.... Of course if he is dead.... and there is that time to perform thing..

BishopMcQ
I was looking at SM 29, where they combine material links with the astral spotter to track a target when it's location is unknown. Do we know that the sample is good still or are we guessing?
Redjack
I've not found anyplace that clearly states where a sample is good/bad just some vague references on that page. So to that end: The same is barely good. Of course you have no way of knowing whether or not the thugs used the hair brush or he brushed a dog with it... wink.gif
kvasac
With our luck...I don't want to think about where it could take us..
Redjack
QUOTE (BishopMcQ @ Sep 14 2007, 12:21 AM)
I am sure that you know a ritual of one is useless

I'm assuming your character is stating this out of a lack of knowledge about ritual magic, right?
BishopMcQ
He's going from the common basis that all ritual magic takes a "coven" or group. Material links, the use of spirits to assist you, all relies on some kind of actual knowledge skill.
blackhawk1w
sorry my brain is fried right now cant remember how to use the colors again to many tests not enough brain cells
BishopMcQ
You just need to close the code. [/color] at the end of the line.

Unless anyone else is going to argue, Carter will head to the club. He's currently wearing Business casual and the longcoat. Armored vest is worn under his clothes.

Social test to fit in without drawing attention. I forgot to throw my First Impression modifiers into that roll. Please add them for me.

Perception 1 hit on the visual, no olfactory.

Social test for the working girls. (4 hits)

@Bishop - Great roll!!!

@Kvasac - Bad news, you glitched the roll (1/2 or more of the dice were 1's). Worse news, you already spent edge on the roll so you have to deal with the glitch. Good News, it wasn't a critical glitch (1/2+ dice are 1's and no successes). You did get one success so you did shriek or worse.. smile.gif
BishopMcQ
Flexing the mental muscle...that training had to pay off sometime.

Can we use social skills on other players?
Redjack
Yes, combined with good role playing. It wasn't a critical failure so it is salvageable.... and Jake's condition is a self-imposed role-playing trait, not a negative quality so I won't apply penalties. It really is one of those things that's all 'just in his head' wink.gif
kvasac
That's ok. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Fun,fun :rotfl:
