I saw it, just surprised how quickly time flew last week. I'll have a post up at lunch. I'm liking the back and forth a lot.

Let me know if you want a roll for the mundane diplomatic check to get derick to go away.

F3 Thought Recognition for information on Big Lou from waiter: 4 hits, capped at 3 for force
Drain: 5 hits, all drain resisted

Mouse & Stormcrow

Time tracking:
00:13:33
- Mouse: Free action = Speak to Stormcrow; Complex action = {Holding} (2 actions every 3 seconds; Next actions at 00:13:35, 00:13:36, 00:13:38, 00:13:39, etc)
- Stormcrow: Free Action = Speak to Mouse; Complex action = Cast increased reflexes (Next actions at 00:13:36, 00:13:37, 00:13:38, 00:13:39)

May require a slight edit of the last post for Stormcrow. Also, Mouse can choose to take her action on 00:13:33 that is currently held.
Each resists the CS gas at 00:13:33. While CS is both contact and inhalation, I will give Mouse 1/2 dice for the respirator.
- Mouse: Body(3) + 1/2 respirator(2) [4,5,4,1,1] = 1 hit vs Toxin rating 5 = 4 boxes of stun (total now at 8 ) and -2dp all actions due to disorientation (+ -2 due to stun)
- Stormcrow: Body(3) [1,6,5] = 2 hits vs rating 5 toxin = 3 boxes of stun (7 total) & -2dp all actions due to disorientation (+ -2dp due to stun and -2dp sustaining spell). In the future, I my call for rolls to maintain the focus to sustain the spell. For this one, I give you a freebie.

Bob
Perception test to notice spell being cast: 6 - F3 = Threshold 3
- Bartender: Intuition(3) + Perception(2) + Actively Looking(3) [2,4,3,5,2,3,6,2] = 2 hits
- Bartender: Intuition(2) + Perception(1) + Actively Looking(3) [1,5,1,1,2,4] = 1 hit

Second guy got a glitch

Sustaining the spell and trying one more time to see if the waiter knows anything

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Didn't see that coming, lol. Ah well.

It came to me when I started writing your new character's intro... What to do about the old one?

You mentioned you might want a rewrite of my post, have you made up your kind on that? I just want to know before I go any further

My plan (and conveniently Tig's) is to get the three to loot old mose's crap. His next move after they leave is trying to con the investigators into giving up the car to him, likely by pretending to be the cleanup agency or salvaging yard. He'll offer to take care of the body as well. Obviously this is all crap to do just to keep myself busy until getting thrown a plot or thread.

@Redjack:

I would like to do a follow-up post, as Chunan has a little more reflecting to do on his way home. Just need to know what kind of corp scrip he received. Also, if you could make the appropriate perception tests for the trip back. Chunan will be avoiding any entanglements he can. Thanks!


@almost normal:

Sad to see Moses go, but it is a fitting end for a private eye. Definitely interested to see where your new storyline will go. I find Tadhg just as interesting as Moses was.

I’m back – at least for a bit! My wife is about to have number two son so I’ll disappear for a while sometime in the next month or so for a couple of weeks to deal with screaming baby – I’ll be back again though!



Not sure that there’s much Mouse can do other than get ready to pass out! 8 boxes of stun and disorientation on top has got to feel bad!!!. It depends a little on what Stormcrow needs to change in his post but I think she will make some sort of attempt to escape the gas that is causing so much misery and worry about getting shot later! Not that I’m looking forward to it but do you want some sort of roll (gymnastics perhaps) to get past the dwarf and down the hatch? I suspect with these penalties it will involve falling in an untidy heap at the bottom of the ladder and probably gaining another two boxes of stun

Athletics 3 + Agility 5 -2 stun -2 disorientation +3 edge = 7D exploding
7d6.hits(5) → [3,5,2,5,6,1,3] = (3)
+ 1d6.hits(5) → [3] = (0)

So maybe she survives?

Current edge 2 of 3

Ritual Conjuring roll 13d6; 6 hits to summon the infernal RedJack.

Everything okay buddy?

The second half was a little premature to your number of actions. See my post... and sorry for the delay; this fell off my radar. Was out of town again last week.
Congratulations!

The gymnastics was great, right through the hole... Then the dwarf was right there...

Good news: On my 20 resistance dice I only got 5 hits.
Bad News: You critically glitched your drain.

Ok. Your post is first tomorrow.

Luke, we've got company coming!

Hahaha, nice.

I'm going to keep track of Bob's alcohol consumption here:

March 27th, 2071 @16:00-ish: few slugs of Jameson
March 27th, 2071 @16:25: another slug of Jameson
March 27th, 2071 @16:35: shot of Jim Beam
March 27th, 2071 @16:35: another shot of Jim Beam
March 27th, 2071 @18:12: 4-5 more drinks along the way
March 27th, 2071 @18:15: cup of beer
March 27th, 2071 @19:00: shot of Jameson, neat
March 27th, 2071 @19:50: pina-colada daiquiri
March 27th, 2071 @20:07: slug of Jameson

Damn, son! I think it may be time to attend some meetings...

That being said, I'm really interested to see how you'll be RP-ing Bob's alcoholism. I'm assuming he's a functioning alcoholic, yes?

Yeah, and he's got a spell to detox if he gets really drunk, so I'm trying to RP him to where he doesn't ever really worry about it...but I'm sure there will be situations where it causes him trouble (esp. cause Redjack is the GM )

It's an interesting thing, how messed up alcohol can make you. I know people (asians! ) who can barely drink half a can of beer before getting tipsy, and I have other friends who can drink all night and not (outwardly) show any effects...

Thanks
Oh bugger!!! Will try and get an IC up by the end of the day. At least the trap door is open for a while, hopefully Stormcrow will have the sense to close it behind him - I'm guessing the gas is heavy enough to sink down here...?!?

Would Tig know the address with a quick google search, or no?

Given that Tig has a name and Moses wanted to be found to be hired, I would say yes, that is reasonable to be publicly available data.

Ok, I'll do the edit and another post next time I'm on a computer instead of my phone

@Redjack:
What kind of corp-scrip was Chunan paid in by Mitch? I'm trying to work it into my post.

Alright, updated my last post to reflect what redjack posted and put in my latest entry. I figured that long a comment would take about 2 seconds so I put that in the time entry. Let me know if I need to extend that further.



Congratulations are much in order, have fun with your screaming baby.

UCAS script.

@Redjack:

Heh. Nice one. I honestly didn't see that coming. Chunan is having a terrible day!

Chunan is going to work his way to the top of the nearest storage unit and then head in the direction of the furthest exit from his unit. He'll avoid combat if he can, use subdual if he must, and go lethal if things turn against him. What checks would you like me to make and how many? He has:

Strength + Climbing (Freehand) = 4 + 1(3)
Agility + Gymnastics (Parkour) = 4 + 3(5)
Strength + Running (Urban) = 4 + 3(5)
Strength + Unarmed Combat (Martial Arts) = 4 + 3(5)

I figured it would be unreasonable for the kid to play along, then turn coat/alert the gang silently.

Make an edge + Running(urban) roll to avoid all entanglements.

Then, give me an idea of his plans for the next few hours.

Edge + Running (Urban) = 3 + 5 = 8 --> [3,3,1,4,6,5,1,4] = 2 hits

Belatedly realising the vandalism is a trap, Chunan will attempt to flee the building, preferably without having to engage the enemy. Assuming he gets out, he will look for a good hiding place, preferably a sheltered spot that is very hard to get to without parkour (or climbing equipment) on or in a derelict building somewhere in the vicinity. I would imagine through his daily exercise/exploring, Chunan would have found a few likely spots. If pursued, Chunan will make sure to lose those following him before holing up. Once the morning arrives, he will attempt to contact Sifu Shen or Sifu Wong via commlink for advice. Failing that, he will attempt to reach Kilroy, though he will be loath to ask a favour of the Fixer unless he has no other options..

Thanks for the freebie, RedJack. Post coming today.

@Grinchy:
Chunan has joined the Puyallups V game. Going forward please post in that game.

Woot! Grats buddy!

Sweet! Will do.


Thanks! Hopefully Bob will be joining a game shortly too.

The suspense is killing me

I hope it'll last...

</wilder>

Bob'll be summoning a F3 spirit of Man, optional power Movement.

Summoning: 5 hits
Spirit resist: 1 hit
Resist drain: 3 hits

Final result: F3 spirit with Movement, no drain

4 3 2 1 services

Service 1: sustain Guard on Bob
Service 2: sustain Conceal on Bob
Service 3: keep tabs on Racoon spirit

Baby came on Friday so don't expect anything coherant from me for the next couple of weeks...Mouse'll just tag along feeling sorry for herself if that helps move things along...

First off, CONGRATULATIONS!

Second off, holy crap. Just realized I'm a few days behind in posting. Sorry to all.

Congratulations!

Really expecting Raven to post in for him and Mouse, then you all will be moving to Puyallups VI within two weeks. The Puyallups II team is winding down, will advance and you will augment them.

Bob will be moving to one of the games, but I've not decided which one yet... I'm actually tempted to move him to Puyallups V, though I also have a plot hook to land him in the Barrens... I will settle on one real soon.

Bob: Reaction(3) + Body(3) + Intoxication(-2) [1,1,1,3] = Critical Glitch - Negated by spirit guard power.

What is up with your characters and critical glitches this week?

It's that kind of week in real life too...there must be some kind of numerological reason...

Does it matter as long as it's entertaining?

laugh it up fuzzball

Sorry I haven't put a post up in a while, school is already busy and I've been spending a lot of tike on Borderlands 2 co-op since it came out as well. I'll try to get something up today or tomorrow.

EDIT: Also, congratulations Aria!

Post when you all can, no rush. Still counting down towards adding you to the other games.

Much as I'd love Mouse to rush to the rescue I don't think with 8 boxes of stun on top of disorientation that she's really going to contribute much except perhaps to feather the cap of the local undertaker...Raven, thoughts?!?

Finally got a post up. I'll be honest, I don't hold out much hope with trying to do something, but Stormcrow said he'd try and he isn't going to want to back down. If we pull it off we've got a Johnson that might well be in our debt, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Sorry if I've been slowing things up. Should be able to get back to normal soon!

Tadhg is now in the Barrens [ IC / OOC ]
