Just commenting on the complete lack of fire exits

From the map, the place is one story? No indications of a basement?

Ahh.. yep and nope.

I actuley meant once we were outside he would tell you where it was. Not, follow him to it.

I hate it when I botch an English Test.

Edit: Actually, I just read over it twice more (dyslexia, gotta love it) and it still sounded like you wanted us to follow you on your bike, so I think I'll leave it. Feel free to correct him though.

Hey Clock, DOH! I went back and edited my post to better reflect what I intended.

If anyone comes out Shadow just slips them a card with an address in Tacoma on it.

<insert the image of a guy dressed as a satyr smacking himself on the forehead> It's cool. I don't mind if Scratch looks like an idiot every now and again.

EDIT: Street Magic Test for the palming of the cards: 4 1 4 7 2 5 (3 3 5 4)

Roger. I will edit accordingly.

Check their stats. Under Body, any number after a slash counts as armor. And the perks for merging with a human are minimal; the "human" is getting the perks from the flesh-form.

If you're referring to the chart on page 136 and 137 of MiTS, that's for spirits, not flesh forms.

Ok, IC-wise, is there a meet set up, and where... honestly, about 20 posts in one day has me lost... spent most of the day on ship, will be doing the same tommorrow...

My mistake, then.

A Force 6 Flesh-Form is still pretty nasty. Their mental stats jump to 6 and their physical stats jump up by 6. So not only do they make a troll look like a wimp, they're significantly more intelligent and cunning. Create one out of a paranormal critter (which is what we're going to most likely be dealing with, no clue why you keep talking about infested metahumans), and they get all of that plus some to all of their supernatural powers plus any cyberware Ares installed in them as part of the experimentation (and since they're human intelligence, the insanity bit is a moot point -- they can be crammed to 0.01 Essence, just like anyone else). Now multiply each of those several times.

If you wanna just dismiss all of that, especially the intelligence part, you're a braver soul than I am.

And Digital: Yes, we've decided to rendevouz at Shadow's safehouse to discuss a strategy for how we're going to go about this. That's where we're all headed.

Flesh forms aren't as scary as true forms (to us non-magical types, anyway). I think that's all anyone has said about it

They are still scary, as only a eight foot troll with .01 essence and hardened military armor can be... This is Ares, and they're making bug weapons. I'd expect something that insane. In triplicate.

@ Dash,

Hey, I will edit my post so that it reflects Father coming with him. I hope he doesn't mind riding on a bike. Oh and (once again) it was the Satyr who made the offer of a ride, not the Night One. But Shadow is more than happy to give you a lift.

Allrighty,

@ Dash,

I edited the post to reflect Father coming with Shadow, so you are now in his Tacoma Safe house and he does have a 'trix conection.

Damnit -- I can't keep Scratch and Shadow from looking the same to me.

It's all part of our master plan.

Is garage/apartment building private or are there other tenants about?

There are other tenets who have access to the garage and the floor, but the apartment is secure.

That'd be what I was going after

Although Grendel intended to disseminate the comm plan at Shadow's safe house, it seems to have been taken care of before hand. To avoid confusion, though, here is what he would have promulgated:

Primary Tac Freq: 303.0 MHz codename "Winchester"
Backup Tac Freq: 466.3 MHz codename "Home"

Grendel: Base
Shadow: One
Warpath: Two
Ayohuhisdi: Three
Silk: Four
Father: Five
Immortal: Six
Onna: Seven
Scratch: Eight

Grey: Rolls in PMs.

check

There isn't a set pattern to the way Grendel assigns tactical call signs. Usually it just goes in the order that he was introduced to people or, as in this case, the order that people showed up to the safehouse. But if you want to think of it as a promotion, that's fine too.

I am pretty sure everyone posted showing up but if I left someone out just assume Shadow doesn't say anything till after they arrive.

ADL...dude...unfair. You didn't even give anyone the chance to catch you. With Grendel watching the place, Im sure he would have at least had the opportunity to see ya...

I had the opportunity but my perception check was dismal. Also, Silk is Four, not Seven.

I was just going with what Gr... Eccy said in PMs, Blitz.

Ah....my bad...shutting up now...tries to hide...

Things have been a little quiet. Are you guys waiting on something from me? I thought it was fairly player driven right now, you guys are just going to be planning and whatnot.

Heh, I meant to say "magic, drones, or the Matrix" not "magic, magic, or the Matrix".

Anyone who has knowledge skills that are applicable to Insect Spirits, go ahead and post a roll for them.

Parazoology (Habits): 10 1 2 4 5 3
Patterson's Guide to the Paranormal: 1 1 4 2 10 11 2 4 1 10
UCAS Today Archive: 4 4 3

Roll for warding, shooting for Force 8 Masking ward on the place. Magic Attritbute is 10.

14 11 11 04 02 02 02 02 01 01 (3 successes so 3 weeks from me)

Magic Background is all I have to try to figure out about bugs

Damn that was a lot of posting! Good read though. I am not sure if I am being sarcastic IC or anything and I just wanted you to know Shadow isn't. He didn't really know what that was and could honestly care less. Believe it or not one of his best friends is a Tiger Shifter named Red.

Im at work...could someone throw 10 dice for me and post the results for my half of the warding? Lov ya much!

Silk's Warding Ritual: 8 7 4 1 9 7 5 3 3 3

Paranormal Animals: 10,9,4,1

Oh, actually Warpath has a knowsoft for Parazoology.

03 02 02 02 02 02 01

Apparently someone left the bugs out of that version.

For the sake of efficiency, I think we're about to the point where those doing recon need to go on and do it while we start working on the gear angle. We'll probably need more stuff when we come up with a final plan, but some of that stuff (the laser designator, for instance) has a long lead time.

Miss Young did say she'd be willing to help you guys out with equipment.

Thanks CLock, but at work, I have to be super stealthy to even post...rolling dice, real or virtual would be pushing it.

I do not mean to be presumptuous, I just want to get the ball rolling. I hope no one minds. I also tried to include everyone and I apologize if I left anyone out.

Quit being a wuss. <jabs Shadow with a cattleprod>
