Okay - who's going to get me a link?

Edana's sure as hell not going back there unless forced. smile.gif

On second thought, Helios will do that, soon as he grabs his pack from Edana's car.

drive me to the front door and I'll run in and get them, add in an in char post where you work out on route that the links won't work, and ask me to run in and fetch.

That's why I use normal dice.

Sparky....why wont Bellafours clothes work? Wouldnt they be the best thing, better than the keyboard-which was in that pretty much steralized room. I would think the clothes would be the best thing you could use.
BishopMcQ
Batard--because the clothes don't have fresh DNA on them...

Exactly, you'll have to head back to his house and get some hair from the pillow or something. Actually, I remember there was some hair at the drain of the shower, so you can use that for sure.

Perception roll on Mr. Motorcycle to see if there's anything worth noticing about him:

Hunter--

Male, mid-20s, athletic build, caucasian.
Bastard
McQ---

Jt had to run to his place to grab the computer....is it assumed that he has already done it...since youve placed him at Bellafours already? Or do I need to IC it?

Plus I thought Tak was going to search the place for the girl....

--sorry for the delays in my posts---im working 12hr days cause someone quit

ot kicks ass
HeySparky
Edana's Perception roll in the house:

10 07 04 03 02 02


What would I roll for Herne, is it even possible to visually track someone from the Astral?
BishopMcQ
Bastard--He was going to, but he got sidetracked by the viral attack and the need to blockade the city...manpower is a finite resource...

Also my understanding was that you were following Edana to Ballefour's and then while she got ready for the ritual you'd head to your place...If I need to adjust the bump let me know.

Sparky--Everything inside seems to be the same. For Herne, have him roll reaction just to keep up with the biker's movements...speed isn't a problem just the instinctual turns etc.
HeySparky
Herne's Reaction roll:
10 05 05 05 03 01
BishopMcQ
Hunter--The office is fairly barren and your team has already collected Ballefour's computer. Looking in the library will offer up 2 articles about the current situation as mentioned earlier.
BishopMcQ
Sparky--you get to act for Herne...

Preception While everyone is in the house. Making sure there are no Snoops checking up on us.

dont forget everyone....i have three extra promasks if anyone needs one. I assume JT would notice someone without one. Just in case though, he makes a perception test:

(-1 perceptive)
[8,8,3,2,2,1]
Johnson
Oops, did I take one before I left?

I guess not. OOps again.
Bastard
ill give you one...post dated to early that morn
BishopMcQ
Johnson--No one is watching the house except for the drone while they are inside. Presume that you have a mask borrowed from JT or you can call them before they get too far and they will bring you one.

Friendly reminder, I will randomly add additional in-line commentary on Edana's page so you may want to check back every now and again...

Iiiinteresting.

What if Ballefour didn't release VITAS, but, rather has VITAS. Hmmm...

The Page

Disclaimer: None of the information I post on that page should be taken as LAW...remember there' s just as musch disinformation as truth Online...

That's not to say that I won't include hidden truths amidst the tangled web of lies and deception...
HMHVV Hunter
So...what now?
BishopMcQ
Here's my understanding of events to unfold:

Tiny--at Ballefour's attempting to sneak around and ask questions.

JT--Drop computer off with Debian, go to Edana's to help with ritual.

Edana/JT--Ritual tracking, figure out who is the astral spotter (Herne) and who is doing the ritual, also who has the shamanic lodge necessary for the ritual?

Everyone else?

Grave--sending sample to the CDC?
Gonzales--talking to contacts?
Helios?
Bishop?
Charlie?
HMHVV Hunter
I thought I was in the car with the others. If not, then I'm probably at Edana's during the ritual, keeping watch.
BishopMcQ
You're in the car, I was just unsure if you were doing anything in the meantime...

Sparky--When you are ready bump to your house, describe it to your teammates and start the ritual. Take note of my above questions.
Tanka
Currently I'm waiting on news from Debian, and hoping he (or somebody) can get me a breath filter.
Bastard
that works for me mcq

Tanka I have a breather for Charlie---I have three extra---actually i think i gave one away so I have two extra
BishopMcQ
Sparky--Remember where your environment is for the Huntsman...that is where your lodge will be...
Johnson
I am checking for anthing of interest as I walk once around the building. Guards, back doors and anything that is out of the ordinary.

Preception:

HMHVV Hunter
C'mon, let's start updating. I don't have anything to do until the ritual actually starts. I don't want this game to grind to a halt.

Herne's Assensing of the man (defaulting to INT --- INT?) looking for the truth of his words and general state:
14 09 04 02 02 01

Herne's Assensing of the building (defaulting to INT) trying to get an Astral fix on it:
05 04 04 03 03 01
BishopMcQ
Hunter--I'm waiting for the ritual.

Sparky--He is awakened, the magic attribute is higher that Herne's force, he is healthy with light implantation in his arms and head. The hunter is focused and alert. Herne has a good feeling for where the hotel is and could take you back there.

Also the Huntsman's environment is forest, mountain or plains. That is where you lodge is supposed to be and where you do your ritual magic. Do the ritual at the house this time, but any further ritual magic you will need to do has to be done out of the city...
HeySparky
Thanks McQ. Do people usually maintain a physical place for a lodge or keep all the various gear portable so that they can travel with it?
BishopMcQ
Sparky--Usually it is a physical place that is maintained, cabins have been common themes in the past.

Since you are running this little ritual, you get to decide how the dice are spent...

Herne is the Astral Spotter (Best choice since he doesn't have a timer on how long to stay Astral)

12 dice of Sorcery plus 7 from your spell pool. Decide how many dice you are throwing at each test:

Must succeed at a Linking Test TN[7] Base Time is 1 hour
Must succeed at a Sending Test TN[8] Base Time is 1 hour.

Herne must succeed at an Astral Tracking Force[TN4] Base time is 6 hours.

Then you, JT and Herne all have to soak 4M Drain with Willpower. (JT can use spell pool to aid him in the soak, as can you if you have any left over from the tests.)
HeySparky
Okay, here goes...

Linking (6+2 from pool):
11 08 05 04 03 03 02 02

Sending (6+4 from pool):
05 05 05 04 04 03 03 03 03 02 02 (burn Karma)
13 10 09 05 05 05 05 04 03 02 02

Herne's Astral Tracking (6):
07 03 03 02 01 01

I'm assuming in the six hours Herne is tracking that there might be an opportunity to refresh the Karma pool for his roll... if so I'd burn it to make his Tracking roll better...
16 05 05 04 04 03


Soak for Edana (9+1 from pool):
14 09 05 05 05 04 04 03 03 01

Soak for Herne (9):
10 08 05 05 04 03 01 01 01

McQ there is one way that roof could be suitable for her... I'd love to see that kind of garden though... and the costs would be like an extra high lifestyle every month
BishopMcQ
Sparky--Herne's tracking test is a success or failure test, rerolling with Karma won't help unless you want to shorten the time.

Kremlin--True enough...
Bastard
McQ---since JT is taking place in the ritual do I add any dice to it...or do I just assist in the drain resistance. The dog shaman is urban, not forest/wilderness like Edana...if the next ritual is in a forest setting does my enviroment come in to play at all?

Toutori...JT doesnt have a doc contact... I think that was Charlie or Gonzales

Sorry, edited my post.

Can Gonzales help Grave send the vaccine to CDC?
BishopMcQ
Bastard--I added your Sorcery to Edana's when I gave Sparky the number of dice she could use. Your environment only comes into play if you decide to use your Shamanic lodge and you are the ritual leader.

Johnson--You've got 7 hours to look around the facility before you catach up to the timeline with the Ritual team...post an OOC order of operations, some dice rolls (Etiquette, perception, et al) and I will bump the thread to just after the ritual is completed bringing you in sync.

Tanka--Anything going on while you wait on the results from Debian?
HeySparky
The arrow flew west... Oh man... do we have to take the long way to Grand Central Station? wink.gif
BishopMcQ
Don't question the random choices gods make in their description of magic... wink.gif In all seriousness I wasn't thinking clearly about directions, I'd recommend flying to the east

Kremlin, is Gonzales your PC? Can he ask his doctor contact to send that vaccine sample to CDC?

MCQ, can Graves send his heavier weps and stuff over via Property of UCAS post? If not, we need to think of something else.
BishopMcQ
Pushing 22 hours of consciousness...will bump IC thread when I wake up...

Toturi--that's going to depend on your etiquette test results...

who do i call? my fixer? or the former officer? Need a name for the Ic post.

BishopMcQ
Toturi--the fixer

Sparky--What do you mean?
