Assensing, arcana, or Psycometry rolls as desired.

Kn: artifacts, magical threats, enchanting, etc

Assensing 4 hits
Arcana 2 hits

Thanee--which one are you looking at?

Let's start with the stuffed rabbit.

Bye
Thanee

I'm going to wait on the Psychometry until it looks like we might need more information since it can have consequences but I will try my Knowledge skills.

Arcana-Archaelogy SP: Artifacts Hand Mirrior
7d6.hits(5)=2

Arcana-Archaelogy SP: Artifacts Stuffed Bunny
7d6.hits(5)=2

Arcana-Archaelogy SP: Artifacts Wooden Box
7d6.hits(5)=3

Buddha--

Mirror--there are no specific artifacts that you know of matching the description. Given the information about it's function, it is likely a custom enchantment bound to the Huntsman's power. Many fey creatures are believed to use mirrors and reflective surfaces in their magic.

Bunny--more information is needed to have a sense of it. Stuffed animals and dolls in general have been used as symbolic links in ritual magic.

Box--several puzzle boxes have been used to hide arcane formulae and cyphers. Opening the box is part of the process in activating the device. Identifying a script if any on the box may hold additional information.

I posted closing the conversation with the assumption the Huntsman was done talking to his mortal pawn. If not, let me know and I'll edit.

It's fine, he would be done if you are.

And here are the rolls for the box:

Assensing 3 hits
Arcana 3 hits

Thanee

Knowledge: Spirit
10d6 = 4 hits

To evaluate the spirit in front of me.

What kind of knowledge check (if any) would I roll on the name Namer?

Hamagen--It appears to be a Spirit of Beasts. Assensing will provide more details. Kn: Magical Theory, Traditions, etc. for Namer.

For Namer

Kn: Magical Theory
8d6 = 1 hit

Kn: Magical Traditions
7d6 = 2 hits

Assensing
6d6 = 2 hits

Hamagen--there are magic traditions which believe the world was created by divine beings and populated with mortals to name all of creation, infusing each thing with purpose in the name--mortal spell casters are called Namers in these traditions.

The spirit is an Awakened, Spirit of Beasts. It is healthy and feeling sated.

BTW, would the Aura Reading specialization have applied to the Assensing here? Bit late now, but just for the record.

Bye
Thanee

Just checking that you saw this?

Sorry I missed that and I edited my post.

Hey all--

Fenris' schedule has opened back up, so he will be returning to the thread. Given that Argent and D'zan had an intertwined backstory, Argent will stay off-camera. The new character will be a strong gun-hand.

@Bishop
What about the vials?

Searching: Data Search(4) + Browse(6) + Analytical Mind(2) + Hot-Sim(2) {I rolled the wrong pool, so I dropped the first two rolls rather than reformat everything.}
[5,4,1,1,4,3,4,5,2,1,2,5,5,3] = (4/4)
[6,2,4,6,4,4,4,3,3,6,4,2,3] = (3/7)
[3,4,3,4,6,1,5,1,1,6,5,4] = (4/11)
[5,3,6,3,3,4,4,3,4,2,3] = (2/13)
[1,3,1,6,2,3,1,3,2,4] = (1/14)
[6,5,6,1,2,6,6,6,1] = (6/20)
[5,6,4,1,2,5,5,5] = (5/25)
[6,3,1,2,5,2,4] = (2/27)
[2,2,3,5,4,1] = (1/28)
[6,2,5,1,5] = (3/31)
[6,1,4,2] = (1/32)
[1,5,4] = (1/33)

Thanee-yes, this sounds like that specialization.

Redjack--they were identified as Rare reagents, I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you wanting the team to do rolls on them as well? If so, the necessary skill is Enchanting.

I don't remember a value and fencing value being provided. I may have just missed it.

It was 2500-5000 per vial.

Ok, next time.

For some reason, I thought it only applies to assensing people.

Bye
Thanee

Kn: Cults, Magical Threats, Secret Societies, Conspiracy Theories or the like for Smoking Mirror.

Perception on the house, looking for security cameras and so on.

7d6 = 3 hits

Hamagen--Yes, there are security cameras watching the sides of the houses, driveway and front walk. The lights on the driveway have standard motion sensors.

All

Do you all need some more time to RP some stuff out before I come knocking at the door? It seems like you are in the middle of a conversation, that probably would have ended before I get there...

In case you haven't seen it else where, I will potentially be off the grid for the next week. I *may* or *may not* have any connectivity where I am headed. If not, see you in a week!

Papa's goals are turn the stuff into nuyen, upgrade team coms (I will post that after I get the total nuyen and new team member com details), apply upgrades recently purchased, hack the lifestyle and prepare for the 3 runs in the pipe (opposing team, milkrun, Tir)

Hamagen--I'd say make your entry at this point. They can bring you up to speed and you can participate in the conversation.

Agreed - get on in here.

Hello all! This is me, popping back in. A near perfect pic (slightly lighter colored hair): Jenni MacIntyre

Hamagen/Fenris--Dalma and Jenni will see each other.

Team--As a reminder, no one has yet answered the door to let folks in.

Sorry for the delay everyone, I was out of town and didn't have the time I though I would to post.

Etiquette Roll - Etiquette(0) -1 + Charisma(3) (2d6.hits(5)=0)

Oof. Good start.

I believe that would be a critical glitch. Are you spending some Edge to remove your foot from mouth somewhat?
NVM: I see the edit.

Perception check: Weapons, etc. - Intuition(4) + Perception(4) + Vision Enhancement(3) + Actively Looking(3)
Jenni: [3,6,6,1,3,4,5,6,2,6,6,4,5,5] = 8 hits
Dalma: [1,4,1,1,4,6,3,3,6,3,1,2,4,4] = 2 hits
Father: [1,2,5,1,3,1,1,4,3,6,5,6,3,5] = 5 hits

Anyone else find it funny that jenni came looking for a pixie but instead sees two large trolls and a stout human all come to answer the door.

I do.

Assensing on Jenni
4d6.hits(5)=2

Assensing on Father
4d6.hits(5)=1

Assensing on Dalma
4d6.hits(5)=1

Jenni is carrying Taurus Multi-6 (Light Pistol, internally modified if that sort of thing is apparent), a survival knife tucked into the small of her back, the long leather duster is armored, and bits and pieces of form fit will peek out from under the jeans and the denim shirt.

Jenni is healthy, frustrated, and Awakened. No cyberware, and I don't think you'd recognize her aura.

Father ishealthy, curious, and Awakened.

Dalma is Awakened, curious, excited and healthy

She seems to be dressed in normal clothes (Long dress down to her ankles and a warm jacket), no weapons in sight.

Father is dressed in a long jacket, jeans and a buttoned up shirt, no weapons or armor.

Assensing

Dalma 4 hits
Jenny 3 hits
Father 10 hits

Another question about Assensing... when someone has masked their aura would you make those rolls secretly? Or do you prompt us to make the appropriate opposed roll to pierce the masking?

Bye
Thanee

Father is a healthy human, awakened with a magic of 4. He has an essence of 6, no diseases or implants. He is not a technomancer. With the extra hits, there is a sense that he is an adept.

Dalma has no modifications (bioware, implants, ect) and is a healthy human
Essence: 6
Magic: 7
No active spells

Am I able to tell that someone is Assensing me? Do I need to roll a perception or something else?

I'll leave Bishop to comment on the information gathered for the third hit, since it's relative to the perceivers. And I don't know if a weapon focus would show up as an active astral signature.

I would think, that it is possible to notice that someone is using Astral Perception, because they are a bit distracted while doing so, and with some experience it is probably possible to read the signs, so to say. I don't think Assensing itself is noticeable, AFAIK anyways.

Bye
Thanee

Hamagen--Judge Intentions would show that they are distracted. If you are astrally present (perceiving or projecting) you will be ale to notice that they are as well. It looks like someone is focussing on a point a few inches off of you, rather than looking at you.

Oh yeah, let me know if I need to provide more information, she does have some focus items and there are spirits waiting in the astral, but I don't know if that is seen with the 4 hits or not.

Judge Intentions then, I'd say that Dalma is probably distracted so -1 modifier?

6d6 = 1 hit

Unless there is a heavier modifier.

Foci won't show up unless they're active. If the spirits are called and present, then they will be visible hovering in the background, but require separate assensing tests to measure. If they are in the deep astral, waiting to be brought forth, they will not show in the assensing test.

Thanee--Jenni's Magic is higher than Siren's

I'm confused. 2 players, 3 people at the door...?

You are correct.
