Van looks right.

Winternight -- A Norse-influenced doomsday cult, they were responsible for Crash 2.0. They got their start smuggling nukes into the UCAS in 2056. Some time in 2063, the cult met with the terrorist Pax. They stole a prototype nano-weapon from Zeta-Impchem and began production. Throughout 2064 Winternight commissioned a series of attacks on key information systems to plant the Jormungand virus, along with Surtr traps to kill anyone attempting to affect the hardware. After unleashing the crash virus, the cult detonated several EMP nukes around the world. It was believed that the leadership was decimated and all signs of the cult have been driven to ground with extreme prejudice.

Surtr -- Originally developed by Zeta-Imp Chem for interdiction purposes, the Winternight cult stole it and manufactured it for their uses. The system appears as a red dust or haze that can float in the air for up to thirty minutes. Any living tissue exposed to the nanites undergoes spontaneous combustion. It is believed that there is an nano-antidote which can stop the effects before the nanites deliver their payload.

Quest Team -- It looks like everyone took 6 boxes.

So try to patch us up and then move forward?

Hey guys!

I just receiv... read the PM BishopMcQ sent to me about 3 months ago (yeah, critical glitch on the Perception roll and all that!).



Are you still looking for new players?

Bye
Thanee

Gentlemen, what say you? I'm open but I'll leave it to the consensus of the players to set the pace and size.

Sure and with Papa being still here, her character could hook up with him... Gonna need help on my shopping trip.

The more the merrier I say! Bring on the fresh meat!

Ditto. Welcome aboard. ^_^

Thank you!


So, what kind of character would be a useful addition to the team as it is now?

I was thinking a Close Combat Specialist / Face could be filling in some blank spots maybe?

Bye
Thanee

With a lot of varied contacts!!

The Face part would be extremely helpful for us.

We have a mage, hammer and gun wielding Troll, Troll hacker/driver and a close combat Adept.

Sounds good to me. I'm excited to see if Brock will make it out of a meta plane alive

Thanee--Since the original MSG went out, the pixie archer has been swapped out for a close combat adept. That's wh the team makeup may seem a little different.

Ah, I see.

I think I would go with a Mystic Adept Face then (Adept social powers and some supportive magics).


Do we use any of the Adept optional rules from Street Magic (i.e. taking a Geas to get a discount on Adept Powers; or taking a Power Point instead of a Metamagic during Initiation)?

Bye
Thanee

We're using the Way of the Adept stuff. I'm fine with power points instead of metamagics, following the normal guidelines--no powers with a rating higher than your Magic, etc.

Quest Team--Need anything from me?

Redjack--Perception/Sensors roll please. If you have Kn: Security Procedures or similar, go for it.

Security(1) + Logic(4) + Analytical Mind(2) + Mnemonic Enhancer(2) [6,6,6,3,5,1,3,5,5] = 6 hits

Perception(4) + Sensors(1) + Actively Looking(3) [2,6,4,3,2,2,4,6] = 2 hits
Assuming you allow actively looking, which is a free action with his attention co-processor. If not, drop the last three dice, including one hit.

Doesn't the Attention Coprocessor simply add its Rating to Perception tests as bonus dice?

Bye
Thanee

I think we're just waiting to see if the horde of abominations are going to let us pass now that we've filled the bowl.

JxJxA--I think you may have missed the post. The vast majority of the horde is gone...

And there was promises of patching us up from the blood letting as well.

I was confusing the adept multi-tasking ability with this.



His co-processor is a R2. Given that description, and my post, I would agree that while no distraction penalty is assessed, I the an actively looking bonus. Last dice is struck, giving me 1 hit on a perception test...


Lies. Must have been damn lies!

Ok, yeah, missed the post. I'll get some casting/healing rolls up to see if they work.

Okay, here we go:

Casting Resist Pain at Force 6:
Magic(6) + Spellcasting(6) + Specialty(2) + Power Focus(4) - Depression(4) - Wound Mod(2) = 12d6 for 4 hits.

Actually, before I finish the rolls. I should ask: Is anyone trained in First Aid? Depending on whether the mundane kit works or not, I have a Rating 6 medkit and an Increase Logic spell. Right now, I'll be sucking -5 to my rolls unless I spend Edge to reroll my misses, but I wanted to save those for the actual healing rolls. If someone else is capable, I can boost your logic while you patch us up and then clean up the rest of the damage with my magic.

tl;dr is there ANOTHER doctor in the house?

@Bishop - You waiting on anything from me?

Redjack- nope, just spent most of yesterday emptying my guts from food poisoning. There is no corporate housing near the facility. Posted the results of your Perception test. Security procedures--because they are a more tech savvy business, you know the security node will probably be hard wired to the cameras and door locks. It will also be a standalone system, separate from the retail node. This neighborhood probably gets a fifteen to twenty minute response time from PuebSec, unless it's a violent crime.

JxJxA--the resist pain spell works.

Bishop: That's good at least. I'm just wondering if someone else should be patching us up with the medkit. I can do it, but I'll be at -5. Sorry about asking it in the middle of my roll. I thought about it after I hit the roll dice button on Invisible Castle.

Saytr--No giblets, just dust and feathers.

Ugghh. I hate that.

Scan for hidden nodes: Sniffer(3) + E-Warfare(4) + Hot Sim VR(2)
[6,1,3,2,5,1,1,1,6] = 3 hits (3)
[1,4,5,6,4,5,3,4] = 3 hits (6)
[3,6,5,5,5,2,3] = 4 hits (10)
[5,3,2,3,2,6] = 2 hits (12)
[4,3,1,3,2] = 0 hits (12)
[2,5,2,6] = 2 hits (14)
[3,6,3] = 1 hit (15)

Ok, maybe I'm complicating things. No edge reroll for the spell. Resisting drain of 6-4: 2S
Will(9) + Cha(5) + Centering(2) = 16d6 for 7 hits. No drain.

Attempting to patch myself up with the medkit:
Logic(3) + First Aid(2) + Medkit(6) - Depression(4) - Wound Mod(1) = 6d6 for 3 hits.

Did it have any effect?

Character is done (Siren, a human Mystic Adept Face). Now looking into the specifics as to how to include her into the game.

Bye
Thanee

Sounds great!

Happy Easter all!!

JxJxA--You are at -4 more dice (Conditions, Patient is Awakened). That leaves 2 hits for the threshold, but no additional for boxes of healing.

To speed this up, First Aid will work to recover the sacrifice damage, magic will not.

I figured that something wouldn't work, I was hoping it was the first aid though.

Anyone else able to do first aid? I'm not going to be much help at -9 dice.

Logic 2 with no skill so I'm probably not the best candidate either.

I could probably get your logic up to 8 or 9, depending on your cap.

my logic is 3 before negatives which puts me at 1 logic cause i am at six boxes plus since i would be untrained it would be at a -1 to start so i would have 0 dp without any enhancement.

Well, I'd cast Resist Pain first. That would take away at least -1 or -2 penalties. The medkit is rating 6, and I could always try adding a resist roll. At this point, the best I can do is hit the threshold.

In that case slap the spell on me and I'll try so we can move forward.

Okay, here goes nothing:

Casting Resist Pain at Force 6 for Brock:
Magic(6) + Spellcasting(6) + Specialty(2) + Power Focus(4) - Depression(4) - Wound Mod(1) = 13d6 for 3 hits. At least the wound penalty goes from -2 to -1.
Resist Drain: 6-4 = 2S
Will(9) + Cha(5) + Centering(2) = 16d6 for 6 hits. No drain.

Casting Resist Pain at Force 6 for Olethros:
Magic(6) + Spellcasting(6) + Specialty(2) + Power Focus(4) - Depression(4) - Wound Mod(1) = 13d6 for 5 hits. So freaking close. I'll save the edge for the logic roll just in case I need it.
Resist Drain: 6-4 = 2S
Will(9) + Cha(5) + Centering(2) = 16d6 for 7 hits. No drain.

Casting Increase Logic at Force 7 for Olethros:
Magic(6) + Spellcasting(6) + Specialty(2) + Power Focus(4) - Depression(4) - Wound Mod(1) = 13d6 for 6 hits. Spending a point of edge to reroll misses for 1 more hit. If you're cap is at 9, you're at full logic.
Resist Drain: (7/2) - 2 = 1P
Will(9) + Cha(5) + Centering(2) = 16d6 for 5 hits.

First Aid on Uetz -4 dice for conditions & awakened
9d6.hits(5)=5

First Aid on me with the above mods
9d6.hits(5)=6

First Aid on Brock not sure his essence loss so staying at -4 for conditions and up to 4 points of lost essence
9d6.hits(5)=6

Let me know if I forgot something or messed something up with the rolls.

I'll keep my fingers crossed, especially for Olethros and Brock. Getting you two healed is the priority since I'm pretty useless right now. With how things are going, I'll probably be better suited in a support role.

Threshold of 2, excess hits heal boxes. So Uetz heals 3, Brock and Ollie 4.

Redjack-I should get an IC post up this afternoon for you.

Sweet so Brock and Ollie will not have any negatives for rolls then correct. Both will only have 2boxs of physical damage on the tracker.

So I feel like saying that BishopMcQ is being very nice - I fucked up the rolls on Invisible Castle (it has not been a good technology day for me - hybrid car died on me and when trying to play bills online drained the checking account of 4k) but he's letting them stand.

Thanks!

Tonight tech support (my husband is going to show me how to use my Windows partition better and how to use the die rolling website so hopefully no more mistakes going forward.

sorry to hear about the hybrid that blows, Thank you Bishop we will all appreciate letting the rolls stand.

Saytr--Np. I generally check on dice rolls and saw some discrepancies this time. I spoke to Buddha and he explained what happened. It wasn't intentional, so I let the posted rolls stand.

As long as people talk with me about it, I generally let it slide. When folks try to fast talk me, I'm not as forgiving because that makes me think they were trying to cheat and got caught.

@ Buddha: Sorry to hear about all of that. Sounds like an unhappy Easter time. x_x Hope that you got the cash back, and the car is okay

@ Bishop: I know we all appreciate it. I forget stuff a lot of the time, which is why I detail out my rolls so people can tell me what I'm screwing up and knock dice off accordingly. I think I'm getting better at spellcasting (and thanks to a few other games, I've gotten really good at ranged combat rolls). I keep forgetting the mods on first aid, though. x_x

@ Bishop: Can Uetz sense anything from Quauhtli in the metaplane or is there something I should roll? I know that Street Magic says these quests normally take place on the spirit's native plane, but I know we're doing things differently. I just want to make sure I'm doing the metaquest right. ^_^
