I don't know if 'allowed' is quite the proper term for it....
I'm
making some adjustments. If they're accepted, then .. COOL.

It's all about confidence. Check it out. <ahems> "Yeah, we're allowed to make last minute modifications up until the meet."
Okay, somehow I have a feeling that's not going to work. But maybe I'm just using super-inverted-subharmonic-reverse psychology on Shadow. Or maybe I'm not. <cue the suspense music>

Last minute changes at this stage shouldn't really be a problem. It's not like we know something new or some hidden secret already. I think that Shadow's scheduled Monday meet makes a good deadline though.
Fortune
Nov 27 2004, 05:49 AM
And yes Shadow ... that
does mean that despite my sworn promise when submitting my last revision, you can probably expect a follow-up by the end of the weekend. What can I say? I'm an addict and I failed my Willpower roll.

Here's the rolls for Berrybrook's conjuration.

Sort of announced it elsewhere, but fate (and for my career good fortune) has conspired to keep me offline for at least the next two weeks. As of Monday I'll be posted to the HMCS Regina, headed off to defend the great Canadian coastline, and hit some bars along the way. Sadly, this will likely mean I won't be part of this run, as it's a lot to be missing, but I'll leave that to the boss to decide.

Well good luck to you, DH.

I hope you make it back safely as well as in a timely manner. We'll certainly miss Hinotama,

so try to hurry back, hmm?

Bleh, I totally forgot to mention this in my IC post, so rather than edit and backtrack posts, I'll just post it here. Tank is a Changling. He has bright red skin, pitch black eyes and hair, pointed ears, and is topped off with a set of satyr legs. He is about 365 cm (12 feet) tall and weighs in at 1020 kg (2250 lbs).

How on earth did he get Tank as a street name instead of Satan or something?

I, for one, am going to start calling him Red Rover. Yes. Red Rover will do nicely...

I meant to mention this last night but I totally forgot. In the morning while Bel was out and about, he decided to whip up a watcher spirit to track down Red Tom and invite him back to his yacht so they could catch up on things.
So, here's the relevant details for that.
[ Spoiler ]
Goal: Summon a Force 10 Watcher spirit using one unit of conjuring materials (to extend his duration to one week). I'm not going to bother with any of his foci or anything, just his totem dice and raw skill and attributes. Not even going to bother centering on this one.
Summoning Test (TN 9): 14 9 7 5 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1; 2 successes
Drain Resistance Test (11L): 22 8 5 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1; 1 success (Light Drain)
End Result: Force 10 Watcher with one week's duration. No drain (due to Damper).
Quick Stats: All of the watcher's attributes (including Intelligence) are at 10. He resembles a miniature jester with bells on his toes and a stupid hat. He is dubbed... Gimcrack.
Task #1: Astrally track down Red Tom. Chances are the bloody leprechaun is holed up in a pub somewhere in Scotland getting blasted.
Task #2: Invite him to the yacht to catch up on old times.
Task #3: Guide him back to the yacht, at which point Gimcrack will follow Tom's orders as if he were Gimcrack's master.
Ol' Scratch
Nov 30 2004, 09:38 PM
Frell me dead. I also wanted to do an astral survey of the room and Mason while we're hear, and I'll be keeping a close astral eye on him throughout the meet to try and get a read on his emotions and whatnot (and whether he's being totally honest or screwing with us).
[ Spoiler ]
Astral Perception Test (full Astral Pool): 16 11 8 7 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1; 12 successes
I'm also assigning a total of 14 dice to Shielding for myself and the rest of the group just to be on the safe side. Well, maybe not the elf just yet. But everyone else?
<thumbs up>

Excuse the tardiness of the reply. A tree branch nearly took out my cable connection when the weight of the snow broke it. Lost my internet for a day while repairs were made. And today it's still snowing, so if I stop replying for a couple of days it probably means a tree branch removed the cable or, worse, the power.
