January sales...

Boss on holiday leaving me to shoulder all the crap...

It's my birthday and I have to work... and I'm getting old...

But here's a post for y'all...

Well you only as old as you feel!!!


(although that is easy for a 22 year old to say!! )

Happy Birthday!

Couldn't resist it.

Me as the 'orrible maniac and DB as the desk sargent.

The first, and only, and probably last, full length feature film we both appear in - and our names are in the screen credits - what a thing to live down!!!

Just so you know. Jack Hammond is one of my contacts, he is a nightclub owner in the west end. The sort to make it his bussiness to know all the movers and shakers in town!!

A quick note for everyone in the game (GM especially). On Feb 10th I am going into hospital for an operation on my eyes so I wont be around on that date, and im not sure how long recovery should be... probably a few days.

Good Luck mate... or whatever... catch you when you get out.

On a similar note, I'm doing Jury service from the 28th Feb... although I should still be able to post.

Oh, and it's Smith and Wesson...

I always wondered which it was... couldnt make up my mind if it was really called that or if it was because they couldnt get proper permission to use the name!!

but I am thinking of changing the tag line anyway, probably something Red Dwarf related!

Good call! That or Hitchikers - always a winner...

Can I get an etiquette (street, or the closest to it) roll from everyone that's "asking" (no, military doesn't count, Dave) and an Intelligence/perception from anyone who just wants to "look."

Ta.

Ettiqutte.

Sorry..life's been incredibly busy

Int: 6

are we struggling to get this game going again? or am I just checking this website far too much?!

Just an FYI...I am still involved and paying attention, but Im also in the process of moving and pulled in a billion directions. Once I get into the new place (feb 15th) things should start to settle for me. On a positive note, I will have internet at the new place so I'll have more freedom to post!

If need be I will offer more to my contact for that VIP pass.... I want to be able to go wherever our target does!

Can you let me know please so I can write the secound part according to the answer please?!

Gee... it was nice of "Angelica" to wait for her "retinue" so they could all get in together...

Guess she's in there all alone for now, then...

With the big gentlemen in the black suits...



Ah well... she should be fine......

Mental Command:

Find Piper and tell him A. That Tyen believes the Lord Protector has eyes (in the form of watchers) on this place. and B. That 4 goons just entered, and Tyen's willing to bet they are looking for the same quarry.

I took the (wrong) assumption that the money I had paid only covered getting me into the club... not the entire party!!!! Oops! sorry!

Took a small liberty, to overcome a problem.

DB..can you tell me if you are considering the club to be a city domain or a hearth domain?

Definately city... the place is a public location and it hasn't really been open long enough to get a personality of its own...

Ok..GM call here as I've had GMs that run it both ways.

Can a Spirit remanifest inside an astral ward if recalled by a mage that has passed the barrier?

Just a gentle reminder that I am going into surgery for my eyes tomorrow. so may not be around for a little while. shouldnt be too long though.

Best of luck! See ya on the flip side

*pardon the pun

Good news, I can see again!! downside is it hurts like hell!!

How are you feeling?

Mosy definitely, I will say I truly like the group we have, we're consistant, and tolerant if real life gets hectic. I think we'd be a decent real life group, (but I live far far away from you)

Hmm... I've always wanted to go to Canada though...

That's three Brits, One Canadian and a Blank (ie nothing in Blitz' location box...)

That's a fair spread indeed...

Didn't do anything for Sandy IC - it's up to you your course of action!

Okay guys - what now? I'll give you a hint: you're headed in the right direction...

Im American...San Diego, California actually..


BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

Im from a blue state...I swear!

California is BLUE??

Weird...

Far too hot for my taste, though... sorry...

It's a joke...during the election, states that voted democrat were shown as blue and states that voted for the jackass..er..republicans were shown as red.

Those of use that are blue states take no responsibility for the governments current disaster

Aw...we have hockey..not major league, but the San Diego Gulls are awesome. And really, it doesn't get that hot here. In fact, Im willing to bet our summers are more comfortable than yours. Along the coast (most of San Diego) it rarely goes above 95 on a hot day and even then, it's a dry heat (which means it seems MUCH cooler because theire's no humidity and you dont sweat).

Heck..Mark Twain once said the coldest winter he'd ever spent was the summer he spent in San Franscisco.

Sorry pet, but anything above 5 is hot for me... I'm a winter bunny...

Piper:

Open "con" (Negotiation) test:

Piper Default to Charisma 3

2, 5, 14 (Reduced to 12 for defaulting. 12? I'm going to delete this sodding dice-roller...)


Templar Intelligence 5

2, 2, 3, 4, 5

(He bought it, hook line and... that other thing I can't spell...)

-----------------------------------

Templar MU Intelligence 5

(Yes, he was assensing anyone his boss spoke to... muahaha)

1, 4, 4, 5, 8 (four successes)

Aura Reading (Complimentary)

1, 2, 2, 4 (one success... no effect)

Oopsie daisy... he's got a good bead on you - awakened, PhysAd, emotional state, you were lying through your teeth... that sort of thing. Thought I'd show you to gloat - maybe I won't delete that roller after all...

-----------------------------------

Tyen and Deuce:

Perception rolls for both characters:

Tyen: 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 9

Deuce: 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 10

Assansing for Tyen (just to skip a post for you - sorry) on each of the three visible enemies:

1: Intelligence: 1, 2, 2, 5, 8, 10; Aura Reading: 1, 2, 10; Total: 3 successes
2: Intelligence: 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5; Aura Reading: 1, 5, 17; Total: 2 successes
3: Intelligence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11; Aura Reading: 3, 4, 5; Total: 4 successes

-----------------------------------


Sandy - care to add anything? I have something lined up you might like... if you're in the right place at the right time...

Okay guys, as you'll see, I'm ruling a little fun here...

Piper's unarmed attack against Templar 2 and the little bit of mechanics here went as follows:

Piper: Kung Fu (5) = 02, 04, 04, 05, 07
Templar 2: Brawling (4) = 02, 04, 05, 05

Result: 5M (STUN)

Resisted by Body (no impact armour): 01, 01, 02, 03, 05

TARGET TAKES MODERATE STUN!

Knockdown Test: 01, 01, 02, 03, 05 = 1 success

(and this starts a "combat" scene... time for...)



Initiative Rolls! (Woohoo! I'll take the liberty, if I may...)

Piper: 6+2d6 = 02, 02 = 10
Tyen: 6+1d6 = 02 = 8
Deuce: 6+3d6 = 01, 03, 05 = 15
Sandy: 6+3d6 = 01, 03, 03 = 13

Templar 1 (Leader): 8+3d6 = 02, 04, 05 = 19
Templar 2 (Muscle): 5+2d6 = 01, 02 = 8
Templar 3 (Muscle): 5+2d6 = 02, 06 = 13
Templar 4 (Mage): 4+1d6 = 03 = 7

So, to put that in order:

Templar 1
Deuce
Sandy
Templar 3
Piper
Tyen
Templar 2
Templar 4



Go to it, boys and girls... or not, as you desire. See if Piper gets the snot beaten out of him...

Not sure where the actual room is that the spirit told her so I cant make the post any more detailed...you are welcome to either give me ooc info or flavor text it IC for me, but her intention is to make as direct a route as possible to the Astrally protected area.

She's also going to sneak a quick astral peek to see if the hermetic has any elementals hanging around, but very quick look to avoid detection.

Piper picking the Suit's pocket as they collapse.

Stealth 3 :- 3, 5, 9

I just gotta know what the dude at the bottom of the stairs is doing.

sorry for my absence, I went to my girlfriends house for a few days and they have just cahnged their internet provider and its proving to be a pain! hence the lack of posting!

My eye is much better now and I am in much less pain! so thats always a good thing.

I also noticed that you were talking about peoples locations. Well at the moment I am living in West sussex but have just started procedings to buy a place in Kent. so Im only going to be about an hour away from Rakshasa and that!

I have to be honest, it does seem typical that I watch these threads for weeks, I turn my back for a few days and a fight breaks out!!! honestly!!

What do you expect - the attentions of the beautiful Sandy were diverted, and all the "men" characters suddenly felt teh need for macho posturing.


That, and I kinda coaxed y'all into a fight... hehehe...


As for the required info, see the IC post. Deuce can see the guy at the foot of the stairs moving off - straight forward - and Tyen can make out the two on left and right also moving in on the Piper scene. I'll to a little diagram - "P" is Piper, and the bad guys are "L" for leader, "M" for mage and "1&2" for the goons.

(Sorry about the dots... if you try to do it with spaces it compacts the whole thing down and screws it up... and the "O" is where the bar rotunda is...)

Sorry if the IC post is a little long - I wanted to move it along as much as I could, 'cause I know I'll be working the whole weekend!

I took the liberty of making a perception roll for Sandy and Tyen at the point they saw the two doors. Came out like this:

Tyen: 02, 02, 03, 03, 05, 10
Sandy: 01, 02, 05, 05

Lucky for you, since the door was sound-proofed...

---------------------------------------------

Piper:

The suit you're basically trying to mug failed to notice you pilfering him. I tried a perception test to notice you, but even without the +2 to his target numbers (since he's wounded) he'd not have beat your nine...

Templar 2: 01, 02, 03, 04, 08

I also fudged the rules a bit to start the fight off, but I thought I'd make some sort of test to see if you stacked it down the steps... needless to say, you made it (thanks to this crappy program)...

Piper: 05, 05, 10, 11

---------------------------------------------

Right... since nothing really happened the last time I rolled the initiative (it was a little early, I guess), we can discount that and I'll do it again...

Since it's really only six people, I'll just do the pertinent ones and deal with the girls as a separate entity.

Initiative:

Templar 1 (Leader): 8+3d6 = 01, 03, 05 = 17
Templar 2 (Muscle): 5+2d6 = 02, 04 (-2 for wound modifier) = 9
Templar 3 (Muscle): 5+2d6 = 03, 06 = 14
Templar 4 (Mage): 4+1d6 = 02 = 6
Deuce: 6+3d6 = 03, 04, 05 = 18
Piper: 6+2d6 = 02, 05 = 13

So, Order:
Deuce (still on the stairs, 10 metres away from the enemy)
Templar 1 (Leader - in doorway, delaying action)
Templar 3 (Other attacker)
Piper (facing two, at the moment)
Templar 2 (Wounded guy)
Templar 4 (mage - in doorway, delaying action, if it gets that far...)

Dont you just love these do-or-die situations?!

Would the Dandy please take out the guy in the pointy hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
