This is the OOC thread, all the dice rolls, game discussion, etc goes here.
I'll basically be posting here a general idea of what I want to cover each week. When I bump forward on Monday's, I'll be bumping to finish up whatever the theme of the week was.
June 18th - June 24th
Intro to each other and Bakatare, IC questions about the job (scope, etc), IC decision to take the job.
Feel free to post any questions you have about the character, his background, the club, the job, etc.
Full Version: OOC Reflections of a Full Moon
@Fenris: Dervish is carrying nothing but his cyber, commlink, spare AR glasses, earbuds, and an old datachip. He should have no trouble getting through the bouncers. His link is loaded with the Robert Burns ID and Licenses. IC post to that effect. Also what's the post guidelines, are we using colors to distiguish speech etc.?
@Fenris: Clay will surrender his weapons if asked/indicated by the two door persons.
He has a Predator in a shoulder holster, three airfoil grenades, two thermal smoke, and one flash bang. He also is carrying commercial explosives concealed in the panels on the front of his vest. The panels/explosives are removable via a velcro like material attaching them.
He has four extra clips for the predator, along the inside bottom edge of his jacket.
The plassteel clip inside his jacket that holds some paper money and the two halves of the torn 100 new yen note, also conceals two detonators, each in its own Faraday caged compartment.

Do we know we are meeting in the meeting room?
Do any of us know, or even want to know each other?
Unless there are some difficulties to overcome to get to the meeting room, I would like to post IC getting there and introducing Sweetness.

Wearz - They'll actually request that he give up everything except the Predator + clips. They know about the explosives in the panels, and will collect those as well. They don't seem to know about the detonators.
Meriss - Post guidelines are open. I tend to use printed novel style (i.e., quotes for talking, italics for thoughts, and some other color for a different language) but you're free to do whatever you like. I don't have a specific format. I just ask that you make it obvious what's what, and try not to use colors that are hard to read on the background.

Who knows who is totally up to you guys, so feel free to discuss it among players.
You're free to post arriving in the room. Just maintain the flavor and tone I've set for the Hotel, please.

@Dervish unless Dervish hangs out in the Ork Underground, chances are slim that Clay Moor will know of him.

@Meriss well he will eat rat and other rodents but never an elf, would take to much beer to wash the taste out of his mouth.

Well down in the Ork Underground, there are places one could buy something that would clear the taste out.
But it tastes even worse than Elf sushi. Besides Elves do not have enough protein for a growing ork.
Okay I'm just going to stop talking now.
@Redjack Clay Moor is an ork not a troll. Check my spoiler post above here.

@Fenris: One prob chummer. Dervish has no Japanese. He learned a single Japanese greeting to be polite to Asian Johnsons and thats it. He does get the gist thou since Bakatare used his name.

Fixed.
Here is the decription for Atreus
[ Spoiler ]
@ Meriss - LOL. Well, seems all the more realistic for all that, doesn't it? I'm fine with you just getting the gist. If you decide you want to back it up with rolls to get a little more of the intent, you're welcome to roll Judge Intentions (Intuition + Charisma).

@Bishop: Porter is something else. Is he always this cheerful?
@Fenris: Running in Hidden mode right now.
@Fenris: Running in Hidden mode right now.
Meriss--That's just the uncouth coming out...he's actually a nice guy if you are a computer...
@Bishop recording all traffic?I see this room as being very busy wireless wise.
All of the drink containers have RFID's, the room is monitoring those, ie to keep track of beverages consumed and if the beverages are not in the bar location, then what location the beverages are in.
There are the many wireless sensors reporting temp, humidity, etc back to a mode that can then adjusts same.
Is there a way to tell via the matrix scan what is a comm link or a RFID communication with the beverage tracking system?
Also FYI there is only one table I believe in this room.
@Fenris-Clay Moor is in public PAN mode.

@Fenris: Before I post my next IC, I'm rolling INT + CHA to read each entrants body language. Is that the right roll?
@Bishop: Descrip of Porter please?
Wearz--I'm recording all traffic from the commlinks I identified. Technically there is no test required, unless the room is very busy which is why i posted the rolls.
RE: The table--I'm unclear as to if people are going into the conference room or meeting in the bar outside as described. If everyone is in the conference rooom, I will adjust the post to be several seats down.
Meriss--Porter is a 5'10" ork, caucasian. Short cut brown hair, brown eyes, he as seen earlier, lacks anything resembling social grace. His clothing is disheveled with obvious food stains and mostly keeps to himself. His eyes and ears are clearly mod'd, and he has an obvious datajack beneath his left ear.
Int + Cha for Judge Intentions is an opposed roll. Your Int+Cha vs the targets Wil+Cha. Here are my opposed rolls 05 05 04 04 04 03 01 --2 hits.

Sweetness is just here to help everyone as best he can. And is very accepting of everything and everyone.
Of course whether that's true or not... who can tell?
Additional information about finding wireless hidden nodes:
| QUOTE (BBB @ Page 225) |
| Finding a wireless node in hidden mode (see p. 211), however, is more challenging. Even if you know what you’re looking for, you must still succeed in an Electronic Warfare + Scan (4) Test. If you’re just scanning for hidden nodes in general, or trying to pick the hidden nodes out from the non-hidden one, make the same Extended Test noted above but with a much higher threshold: 15+. |
To my understanding of wireless signals, when you say you know what you’re looking for you mean you know the electronic signal of what you're looking for, not something like I want the com link of that ork over there.
@Bishop at the Link which shows a image of a conference room shows a long table, opposite from the camera is some windows and the end of the table.
I posted that Clay is down at the end of the table by the windows.
Another character, Merris's character stated he is seated opposite the door and facing it.
The table in the image has seating for 12, five on each side and one at each end.
From the image, the door is near or at the camera point, so that puts Meriss's and mine character's at opposite ends of the table. Unless I am incorrect about where the door is, then we are seated near each other.
So basically your character will be within one seat of some other character.

Sweetness doesn't know Or'Zet at all, so when you speak to him, he'll politely indicate he understands the tone, but he doesn't understand the detail, probably all apologetic about it, etc. Feel free to incorporate into a post or not as you please.
@BishopMcQ
It's fairly easy for you to detect Sweetness is carrying a weak commlink as it's one of the few electronic devices of any kind on him and it's in public broadcasting mode.

@DireRadiant yes Clay can get the idea that he does not speak Or'Zet, call it his way of seeing how many of the race of orks, can speak it. Now how to figure out how to post about it IG.

| For Atreus 3,5,4,6,4,2,6,2 3 hits @All: I need resistance rolls from Atreus (Redjack) |
WIL(4) + CHR(5) = 1 hit
Net 2 hits yields general and detailed knowledge according to the knowledge skill table from page 129.
Atreus' intentions are as follows:
To hear what Bakatare has to say, possibly get something to drink along the way and remain inconspicuous in the process of both.
@Wearz: My apologies I was using the Judge Intentions roll to gauge (sp?) general body language. Looking for clues for my IC post. Dervish tends to be basicallly a quiet guy, esentially my polar opposite. I if anything tend to talk too much. If I used the wrong roll I'm sorry. I'm still feeling my way through the game. Yes I'm new, no I don't care I'm having too much fun. If I offended you in any way you have my sincere apologies. I was not trying to impress you mearly garner a general idea of Clay's stance, feel and manner. If you believe you have provided enough info in your descrip I'll reread and post based on that. Again Sorry.
@Merriss, I am sorry snapped at you, I could and should have worded that better.
I too apologize to you and the rest of the group here for my intemperate response.
But I believe that Bishops Ork said out loud why we are here.
But for IC/IG you can ask Clay and see how he responds, or you can ask Bakatare, as to how much his rep for not telling the truth etc is out, I do not know. You could ask each in turn also and see what responses you get and how it is delivered.
I see Clay as pretty much an open book, he is here to full fill a debt owed to Bakatare, and he is abit disappointed that Sweetness does not speak Or'Zet, but he sees that too much in fellow orks.
His work with and around explosives, to me cultivates an open book type of body reading if you did not already have it. If you are working with someone, dealing with explosives having to guess what their body language means could be life threatening. So Clay is part born open book and alot of experience becoming more of an open book.
But we all here to have fun, lets enjoy.

@WMS: No big. I tend to forget to warn folks I'm new to SR when I start a game. It's one of those things that you forget when you can't actually see the other person. I assume you know, you don't realize, you snap. It happens. (Too many newbies IRL?)
Check my IC and you'll see what I mean about Dervish being quiet. That whole post was interior monologue. Dervish will prolly not question Clay too closely, as he suspects the whole ork/elf thing would get in the way.
Side note, do you prefer Wearz or WMS? Also, why did no one warn me about the sheer fun of this game? It's fragging addictive.
@Redjack: Answering your IC question OOC. I think we're waiting on Budda/Inkari.
@Fenris: Any word on Budda?

Either one I will understand and respond too. My user name is from a 3rd ed shaman I ran long ago, but under 4 th ed, he can not be recreated. He used shapechanging spells and other things.
As for the Ork/Elf thing, ask him, , it will give us something to do while we wait for the last character to post in.

@Wearz: Not even with Street Magic? That's too bad.
Dervish is not the "chatty" type. Try Swetness, he seems to like talking.

My understanding is that if you don't know that there's a specific node that you're looking for, especially in an area with non-hidden nodes, you're looking at the threshold of 15.
@ Meriss - Porter will definitely not pick up your commlink ;D
I have heard from Buddha, and he is posting tonight. It's been a bitch of a week IRL, so be nice ;D
Since no one else has responded to say their hidden, I assume he will get the rest.
@ WMS - I appreciate your retracting the post and printing an apology. I didn't even actually get to read the offending post, so you've still got a clean slate as far as I'm concerned.
For the record, I think Meriss's use of Judge Intentions was correct and appropriate.
Also, let me know if it looks like I missed a post. Things are moving so fast it's hard to keep track of everything, and I don't want to forgot a question or an IC post.

@Wearz: Tough luck chummer. 
Although considering the radicaclly different sections of the plex they live in I didn't really expect Clay to know Dervish. That and the fact that Dervish suspects walking into the Underground would be a slow and painful death.

@Meriss well his knowledge skills, unless you are an explosive, work with explosives, live in the Underground, involve in construction or destruction, he has none for that.
Since street knowledge is based off intuition which is a 3 but since he is defaulting perform the task, he gets 2 dice, which he rolled a 3 and a 4. If it had been logic he would have gotten some more dice.
The "public" areas of the Underground your character would be relatively safe, unless he got very unlucky or step into something.
