Alrighty. I'll write you in soon. I owe the thread an update first, so may take until tomorrow night.

Take your time. Like you said, in for the long haul...

Long weekend with scouts, working on posts now.

Should ready 08 Whips R2

Neimand Contacts

Burkhard [ C2/L2 ] Bouncer/Street Contact
Burkhard is a dwarf currently working as a bouncer at The Lederhosen, a club ran by a family of German immigrants to Seattle in the Parkland Neighborhood near Loveland. Burkhard was also born in German, moving to Seattle nearly a decade ago.

Raven [ C2/L1 ] Talismonger
See Dumpshock Datahavens Issue #2
Needing access to magical supplies once in Seattle, Neimand connected with Raven. Through Raven, Neimand was introduced to Kilroy.

Kilroy [ C3/L1 ] Fixer
Kilroy operates mostly in southern Seattle, primary in the Puyallup Barrens, which is ironic since he only meets in the matrix. The, or at least a, fixer named Kilroy first appeared in the early 50's building crews out the Puyallups, many from the plethora of gangs. In the early 60's, he ran afoul of the Yakuza and was reported dead. In '68, he , or someone using the name, appeared/reappeared on the scene.
For Neimand, recently arrived in Seattle, he has recently been able to make a connection with the Fixer.

Erik Mueller [ C2/L2 ] Slumlord
Erik owns a number of crappy apartments and run down houses in the Puyallups and is known also to have access to lower quality safe houses.
Neimand met Erik at The Lederhosen and has done some work warding places for Erik in exchange for room.

Initiative roll for Niemand please.

Kit: Charisma(7) + Con(1) [1,3,2,2,3,1,3,5] = 1 hit
Revan: Charisma(5) + Defaulting(-1) [3,1,3,1] = Critical Glitch

I need to know if Revan let's this stand or spend precious edge here...

I have added multiple actions together in my last post to speed things up a bit.

Three things, that Jazz will do on her scouting trip:

1) Check, where the datastreams are coming from, and whether she will be able to access the sensors from there.

Do you need any further rolls for this?

As an alternative, intercepting and editing the traffic would probably also work, I guess.

2) Create a backdoor (hidden admin account) to be used for quick access on the actual run night; she will create another legitimate account for the tampering then, the backdoor ist just the means to get back into the node without further hacking.

Unwired p. 97

First step is creating a legitimate account (a simple Software + Edit test, since I have the necessary privileges for this action and don't need to hack it).

-> Software + Edit 3 hits

Second step is hiding the account (an extended Hacking + Stealth (Firewall, 10 minutes) test).

-> Hacking + Stealth (extended) 3 hits
-> Hacking + Stealth (extended) 3 hits

Takes 20 minutes for 6 hits (which should suffice, I suppose).

3) Edit the system log to remove her traces.

I cannot find any specific rules about this in SR4A (in SR4 it was on p. 225).

-> Data Search + Browse (extended) 2 hits
-> Data Search + Browse (extended) 4 hits (and barely not a Glitch )
-> Hacking + Edit 4 hits

Lol seriously glitch on a chr test history in the making let it stand I might need it later

Initiative (6d6.hits(5)=2) = 8

Initiative

Thug #1: 13(1)
Burkhard: 12(1)
Thug #2: 10(1)
Neimand: 8(1)

Much to your benefit, I break movement down in 3x 1 second movement passes in a combat turn... so while the thugs and Burkhard have gained actions, they can only use 1/3 of their movement (while holding those actions) before Neimand gets to act, so Neimand is up.

Manabolt F5 (Spellcasting + Magic) (9d6.hits(5)=1) SUCK!

(Willpower + Logic) Drain (9d6.hits(2)=5)

You mean, even if there is only one pass in the round?

Because otherwise that seems exactly how the system works normally (movement is spread out over the IPs).

Bye
Thanee

Sorry for the delay in reply. Taken a few days to go through this around a very busy schedule.

Always much appreciated!
With admin access, you pretty much have the rights to do it so choose one of the following:
1) Trace the sources: Software + Tracking
2) Intercept and analyze: Software + Sniffer then software + analyze
3) Matrix Perception Test: Computer + Analyze

What access level is this new account?

Done

Done

I removed the inconsistent relationship of movement to action. Now, there are always 3 passes in one combat round, each one second in length (still yielding a 3 second combat turn). Now, you still accrue one action per pass, holding until spent up to your maximum number of action passes (1 pass is still one pass per combat turn). Under the old interpretation, if everyone had only one pass the first guy could cover 3 seconds worth of movement then act before anyone else could act. Under my interpretation, he gets 1 second worth of movement then actions begin to accrue.

That is not correct.

Movement is completely seperate of action phases.

The highest amount of IPs anyone in the combat has decides the number of IPs that take place (usually this will be 3). Movement for everyone is divided by this number and you can move that fraction of your movement in every IP regardless of whether you can act in the IP or not. The only difference, if cou cannot act during the IP, is, that you have to keep the mode of movement chose during the last IP that you did have an action in; i.e. if Mr. 1 IP chooses to run, he has to keep running for the remaining IPs, but the movement takes place in fractions over the whole 3 second combat round.

Actions take place in addition to movement and with the appropriate modifiers for walking/running, but only as many as the particular character has in IPs.

Bye
Thanee

Will do this, as Jazz has no Tracking program.

Software + Sniffer 3 hits
Software + Analyze 6 hits




Admin like the one I have now. I can legally create any account of my current security level or lower.

Bye
Thanee

That is not completely correct.



While I think you and I agree on how it should occur, I draw more of a finite distinction from RAW in order to clear up confusion and variations of interpretation.

Sorry all. I've been traveling for work the last two weeks. Its amazing how time slips away when you are not at home.

no worries RJ life happens ae will get to it when time allows us too.

This here is what I meant with movement being seperate (basically, you do not need an action phase to get movement).

Ok, you do need to spend an action (free) to run. In that way, it is not "completely seperate", of course. But it is not really an action to move in general (and even for running just a very minor free action).

Bye
Thanee

I opened up to post for the third time in a week last night and fell asleep in my chair... thinking too hard. Forging ahead.

In order to speed things up past this "flavor scene" I posted rolls:

Reaction(2) + Edge(5) {Edge is not spent, in this case it is the attribute of luck}
[2,2,6,4,4,3,4] = 1 hit

Get more sleep!

Bye
Thanee

ouch Revan looks like a idiot in public places.....no much different from RL lol

Thanee/Satyr/cndblank
Let me know what else you want to do or what other info you are after.

DaedalusK71
You are up.

I think I have what I wanted. Basically waiting on the rest now.

Bye
Thanee

@Saytr: Thanee is called Jazz in this game.

Bye
Thanee

my bad will correct sorry about the confusion.

You guys are up.

Thx!

Well, the request to "clear footage" comes way before Jazz is actually inside the system, timewise.

So, what kind of roll should I make to find the footage Revan is talking about while I am there (knowing the time, I guess Jazz can search for that).

Datasearch + Browse? Then Computer + Edit?

Bye
Thanee

Perfect

Datasearch + Browse 5 hits
Computer + Edit 2 hits

Bye
Thanee

I think we are in need of a FF. Where to?

i think us inside the restaurant are good to go. i dont know if anyone was doing matrix work or not but as far as astral goes i think we are covered.

The correct phrase would be "will be doing matrix work" at that point, because I am a little ahead of you guys in the timeline currently.

But the Matrix scouting part has been done already.

Bye
Thanee

Hey you two... I already posted you leaving the Restaurant and Jazz cleaning up the video... How far do you want me to FF? All the way to the run?

PS: DaedalusK71 has been MIA for about a month now, CNDBlank is about 3 weeks MIA and kvasac last year... Its looking like just you two again plus several NPCs.

awesome lol. well i cant think of anything magical to do other then get spirits ready which they are i believe and the matrix stuff is good to go. i think all we have to do is get the package and drop it off at the kitchen right.

Oh well...


I am ready to move on...

Bye
Thanee

ditto

Whew. Still have 3 Players!!

Anymore prep work or leg work? Fast forward to the night of the run or some place prior to?

Maybe we should go through what we plan to do and then see if we are missing anything?

Jazz should be able to handle the sensors and cameras from the Matrix.

How do we get inside the building?

Bye
Thanee

astral security wasnt to bad. the biggest obstical so far is getting on the roof and getting past physical security. so we might need to get a drone or some kind of monofiliment chainsaw to get throught the door lol.

Still here. Sorry about the long delay.

Keep talking.
Not quite enough of a plan for me to post for... at least not without me making some significant assumptions; I'm assuming everyone knows the definition of the word assume?
