Rob - Leon's body contained the following items you found:

1. Remington 990 shotgun (which you subsequently used as a splint for the kid's leg)

2. 10 scattered shells for the shotgun in his pockets. You have no idea how he planned to reload, they were all over the place in no discernable rhyme or reason.

3. Stock Meta Link commlink w/Vector Xim OS

4. 1 quarter full pack of cigarettes

5. A deck of cards. Unfortunately there's a hole in the deck from a bullet hole.

6. 1 dose of Zen.

7. 11 nuyen.

Vegas and Sparky - Both of you looked, neither of you saw anything.

You're clear to move if you want, but don't write yourselves farther south than NE 142nd LN, farther east than Kirkland City Park, or farther west than 124th Ave NE. I presume you won't be heading north, but if you do, don't take it farther than NE 144th St.

Voorhees - Per Mister Juan, waiting on his post before moving you forward.

Think that covers all my people, let me know if I missed you and I'll get to you ASAP.

Rob - You're free to post. Obviously do not take it too far, if you do something IC go ahead and post the appropriate rolls OOC.

Can I just ask what happened to the whole concept of Hammerpack leading a coalition of forces against some unknown threat? It seems like all the feeder gangs got taken out by other gangs and never even hooked up with hammerpack. Well atleast Side Street Rollers didnt.

I was thinking if all the feeder gangs were in a coalition with hammerpack we would each have a laison ganger who we could get into touch with and find out whats up with the hammerpack and reform easily, atleast people with comms or access to liasons.


@Vegas/ES Sparky have either of you guys turned those character sheets into templates? If not I would like to try biggrin.gif
WinterRat1
Abbandon - Um, that concept was modified and dropped long ago. The discussions were in the planning thread and elsewhere and the results were 'canonized' in Shade's Journal as the history of the gang war on the wiki.

I've already done templates for map pieces... Iwas saving the CS sheets to use as examples to show Sparky how to do it. Since they're not needed ASAP (save maybe for Geisha if they're accepted) I'd like to wait please. biggrin.gif

It is super easy and definitely worth doing, so THANK YOU for pointing out the info in the first place smile.gif It made putting the touristville map together a breeze smile.gif

Can I tell which direction all the noise is coming from? I'm heading north towards 140th NE, my apartment is in a small building three blocks west and one block south off 140th NE and 124th NE, is it north sout east or west of current location?

Perceptions + Intuition =4 dice = 4 successes

That having been done, can you give me a brief descriptions of the wounds I'm dealing with, cause if I'm leaking blood from a great big hole in my side it's different than if I've got a couple of cracked ribs, split lip, bloody nose, etc.

I'm not sure how to post a 1 success "stealthy" roll while moving along one of the main streets of what's become the Redmond Demilitarized Zone, give me a clue and I'll fire away.

Damn you Mister Juan! Daaaaamn yooooou!

ACK! I had a posting error, I posted an infiltration roll, with 1 success but it's been eaten by the Posting Gods.

I can't find my link or anything and I'm not sure how to look up rolls on Invisible castle but take my word for it there was only one success on it. I was attempting to sneak away from the noise of the bad guys just as soon as I know which way they're coming from.

If you go into your post above on the "perception check" and click on the roll, then click on "Jaya" (assuming you used that name as well for the Infiltration roll) it *should* bring up the rolls under that name smile.gif It might take forever, but...

Cedric: Was it this one? Jaya's Infiltration?

I'll take your word for it. I mean, who would try and lie about getting just a 1 on an infiltration check? It just forces everyone else to make the roll and hope they glitch or get 0 hits. biggrin.gif

Using this knowledge, you can get down to the 144th in around 7 minutes by being careful and stealthy.

@ All of my players

Thanks for going along with the bolding of important stuff idea, but it's not really working well so far. Since everyone is bolding everything, it's like finding a specific tree by looking at the forest as a whole.
To help me out, I want my players to do the following when they want my attention for something:


@Konsaki
Text, spoiler, quote, phone number or whatever is important here.


This way I can find your stuff while WinterRat can find his players stuff from the bold still.
Note: Dont red out all the text, just the @Konsaki part.
HeySparky
I was gonna suggest color, since I thought the bolding was getting too overused. Good call.
WinterRat1
I concur as well. Please do the same for me.

grendel
Maybe you should pick a different color, WinterRat1?

Yup. TinkerGnome and then WR1 was gonna take it over before the big crash. (Bad pun, I know)
Fresno Bob
Yeah, it was TinkerGnome.

Why do you ask?
Vegas
Perhaps WR1 can use Salmon or Gold instead of the red that Konsaki is choosing?

Or how bad is the Blue on the dark grey - maybe?
Green perhaps? -eeek

I think I can read either the Salmon or Gold the best personally.. don't know about the rest of you guys.

I'd like to keep the gold for meself for when I'm addressing my players. This way they can scan for my replies.

WinterRat:

I thought cyan, cuz it looks more like 'winter' to me.

Very ambitious last IC post; feel free to nix, modify, or penalize me in game for the concept, but it seems like what he'd do in the situation. Not like you wouldn't anyway... But have mercy, I'm new to forum games.

Note that I queued up about 4 turns worth of actions, because he's quite sure what he needs to do and that the Raiders are too far away to get close enough to really endanger him unless he sticks his head up (which he has good reasons not to do).
Lotsa rolls for box this post:

What kind of a world do we live in when the Head GM gets stuck with freaking Salmon? You EAT Salmon. It isn't a color!!! mad.gif

All right. My players address me in Aqua or Cyan (I honestly can't tell the difference) and I will respond in Violet.

Does that work for everyone?

Heh, its like my girlfriend said, how men can only see three colors. I still say mauve doesn't really exist.

Note that the Ultraviolet Nights are one of the toughest gangs in the area, and probably have the highest percentage of scary characters in Kingsgate. At least they will now. Just pointing that out.

And you Konsaki, just wait till we hand out the crap jobs on the GM staff. I'll have to make some crappy jobs up just to give you Golden Boy. mad.gif

All fooling around aside, I do agree that UVN have alot of power right now. Due to their situation as a main assist and not the main target in the Raiders Vs Hammerpack fight, they have should have the most units still available for fighting and controling territory.
Plus, their entire life is fighting anyways, so they have a higher chance of survival.

Magic cannot fight hez.

Now that we are linked up, Grack will do pretty much whatever Legion tells him to. So no need at all to wait on my acquiescence to post us forward or even send Grack off to do whatever. I'll just follow your lead and pop in with RP responses when appropriate.
Meriss
@adamu: Loving the "protaganist" and "our Hero" bits. Reminds me of Edgar Rice Burroughs. May I politely ask, who pray tell is doing it? Somehow Grack doesn't seem the type.

@All: Any suggestions on how to inject a more appropriate "tone" into Ink's IC posts?
adamu
@Meriss - there is a "who" but it is a bit complex. I'd rather not get into it until we all get better acquainted with young Grack.
Never read Burroughs. Maybe I should.

@WinterRat1

So, here is what Felix will do, in order.

He will check for vitals (biomonitor) and then switch to the astral plane to look over Halo's aura. If she's still alive, and if it is indeed her (you never know in this world!) he'll attempt to stabilize her as best as he can.

Here are some rolls for things you might need.
I'd roll composure check, but I don't have my book with me and can't remember what stats the roll uses.

Medicine: 1 hit
First Aid: 3 hits
Assensing: 4 hits

@anyone

Im working on a new character both in general nd specifically for this game and I need help picking up some negative qaulities. I need 20 bp worth.

I was thinking maybe a common(7), Moderate(8) phobia of spirits but would that include watchers? cuz that would be dumb. Also if I use the character in another game they might not allow phobia's.

I', also thinking about a severe(13) common(7)/uncommon(2) allergy to something. The problem here is exposure causes damage per minute which kind of rules out being allergic to food, or other ingestables. I just dont know very many good allergies to take. Oh and like how often would you have to be exposed to said substances in order for it to be worth BP? Oh one of the substances i was thinking about would be pepper spray/punch.

And then for additional filler negative qaulities i was thinking spirit bane(10) or scorched(5). The problem with spirit bane is that it would probably affect our magicians if this character is ever in the mages presense.

In case you need a little info about the character they are just a mundane street samurai. Not mage, Not Hacker.

Okay, Jaya is going to split, can you tell me if there are any obvious escape routes? Alleys, open doorways, unopen doorways, fire escapes, side streets, sewer grates big enough for a scrawny kid, anything? The map of th area doesn't show any sidestreets where I'm at presently.

Incase you need a perception check:

Perceptions + Intuition = 4 dice =0 successes

I'm not bothering to post the link but there were no glitches no successes, oh well.
Meriss
@adamu: Highly recommend Burroughs. His Tarzan series rocks. And just for fun try the John Carter of Mars series. (It may explain those weird pics in Dunkie's will)

@Abbandon: I'd say go with fear of Fire Spirits (But depending on your GM this could be a bad thing) Your allergy is simple. Nitrogen. (28% of the atmosphere baby!)
