Sergei is a contact. Thre negotiation for services is rolled into the formula for "compensation." (CHA X INT X 50 nuyen)/# of successes = cost. If you have something of equal value to offer instead of money; that is acceptable. It isn't so much the money as a reinforcement that you value their help. Otherwise your contacts will begin to dry up.

gotcha, sorry.

Modified post to take that into account. Gregori is basically offering to feed Sergei any and all information on the mafia he might pick up on during the run in exchange for not having to pay the full 500 if Sergei doesn't come up with anything.

viggo, is Ragnorok headed to the pick-up point or the safehouse?

Musashi Forever, everyone is a little behind you but do you wait for them or is Razz going to enter the safehouse?

Tziluthi, where is Os headed after his apt., safehouse or pick-up point?

Too late for the pick-up point, so he will go straight for the safehouse. When would you say he arrives? Maybe 11:30?

Tziluthi, where is Os' apartment? You guys lef tthe bar in Tacoma around 10:20p.m. Depending on where his apt is it could take 20min (Redmond) or an hour (Puyllup) ot get to his place and back to the safehouse...

Nope. LOL

Our characters need to improve their professionalism before they get geeked!

Etiquette (4) test: 15 02 01 01

Er, did i miss the post where Dawn and the others got to the safehouse with Razz? Or did they call the safehouse? How is Razz talking to the others who went to the pick-up?

speaker phone I believe.

I see Razz is old-school with his swearing.

Intimidation is resisted by willpower, right?

Willpower: 04 04 03 01 01

Actually I meant for you to intimidate them.

LOL

Sorry ,I may be easily amused.

Hah. I don't think Os actually has intimidation.

If you really want me to make a test, here goes.

Defaulting to charisma: 05 05 01

A fail. Who would have guessed?

yeah I edited my post - he's catching a bus yet again, and should arrive a few minutes after Dawn and Gregori.

I'm using the nuyen from this run to buy some form of transportation. I should have spent it on that instead of the hundreds of rounds of gel ammo

Os, Razz, make initiative rolls please.

Have we lost Tziluthi?

No, I'm still here. The game was getting a little dead, so I was visiting less often. Initiative it is!

Initiative: 06 02
Reaction is 7

F.I. Don't worry about rolling for me. I bought a Risk board last night and I now have three red and two nice white dice to roll with. I will post Initiative in a few minutes.

Razz's Initiative



How do we post what we want to do? Do you tell us when to post in order to go in initiative order?

Once I have everyone's init. I can determine who goes first you or me and post from there.

BTW: Os - You have the initiative. They are agressive and are definitely gunning for you. Here is the scene as you see it:

The lead ganger is backing toward the truck and drawing a weapon(pistol). Ganger #2 is running for the side of the building, also drawing a pistol. Gnager #3 is stepping behind the truck bed and reaching infor something.. Ganger #4 is still behind the driver's door. And the silver haired woman is just sitting there.

Play Ball!

Sorry about the lag here, but I am not recieving notices of new posts like I used to. Are any of you experiencing this? I don't know what is going on but I'll start checking the forum regularly.

Cheers...

Okay, for the first pass, Os is taking cover (full cover if it's available), drawing his pistol, and turning on his eye mods. In the second phase, he is saying his piece to Razz and switching the Viper from safe to burst-fire. Needless to say, he is only talking loud enough for Razz to hear.

O.K. as this is my first attempt at running on a PbP game. I am unsure which method works best so I may try several different ways before settling on one. But for now I will take a page out of Sphynx's book:

Post your intended actions IC. Post all the actions you want to make for the turn (if you have three actions this turn post three. If something happens during a pass that causes you to change your action, that's cool. We'll just use movie magic to gloss over.) Post the rolls for said action in spoiler tags beneath it.

Example:

Estoc, already nervous at Os and Razz's presence, decides they have to go. Permanently. He draws his pistol and begins backing toward the truck for cover. He tries to get a shot off at Os.



Does this work for everyone? Is there a more efficient method, or a better one? Suggestions are appreciated.

Musashi, I don't mean to metagame, but I kind of meant for Os to suggest that Razz goes around the side of the house, just in case the ganger tries to circle around and sneak up on them. Obviously, it would have been a bad idea for Razz to jump out of the house and start chasing after the ganger whilst taking fire. Anyway, on with the game.

BTW, can Os take full cover? Or is it just partial cover?

Inititative for Combat with Gangers

Os can take full cover.

Everyone except Os and Razz: You are currently 50 meters from the combat. Lethe is driving and Dawn is driving. I need actions:

Gregori can see three people and a truck. The truck is parked five meters from the front door of the safehouse. One ganger is standing behind the driver's side door pointing a handgun therough the window. One is standing at the rear of the truck, firing an assault rifle. The third is running for the far side of the house. From what you can see, they are wearing street clothes.

Viggo, I think you left out your reaction score.

Initiative = Reaction + (1D6 or number of dice due to enhancements like wired reflexes or increased reflexes +1, +2, etc...)

oh drek my bad. initiative has tripped me up in SR forever, especially since I'm playing way more D&D now

Here's my assault rifle - the important parts are the smartlink 2, laser sight, recoil comp 2 and tracer ammo - that should make my TNs 1 2 3 for 3-round burst, if I did the math right.
