I always thought they were on. But I only count 20 as well. Unless we're wrong about not counting the expendable stuff. |
You don't count the expendable stuff until they're used. So, if you have, for example, 10 "points" of foci active and you use a force 4 expendable spell focus, then for the briefest of instants you had 14 "points" of foci active. If your Magic is only 6, then you'll have to roll because 14 > 12. However, if you first would deactive one of the active foci before using the expendable one, then you'd probably be fine. Course, this is all IIRC.

Sorry for the major delay. Work has been a killer the last few days and I've only had time to pop on here for a few minutes at a time. On top of that, I'm in the middle of moving (again) so my after hours time is taken up with that. Hopfully sometime soon I'll be able to take the time to throw everything together so I can move this forward again. Please be patient with me...

Oh, I see how it is, post in the game you're playing in but not the one you're running.
Ecclesiastes

Whoa. I hate to say it, but I totally forgot about this game. After moving and all the stuff going on at work, I lost track of a lot of things here. Where I used to be in 10+ games at a time, I now have a hard time keeping up with the one I play in.
Sigh.. Ok. I want to move foward with this. Can I get a roll call from everyone?

Ok. We've waited this long, lets wait till he gets back and we'll move foward from there. That'll also give me a chance to dig out my notes (I know they are around here somewhere...) and figure out what the next move is. As I recall, you guys had just set out for the place to start your mission (just like me to drop the ball when things start getting good). So we'll start things back up as you all arrive in the area around the target.

Ecclesiastes
Aug 10 2004, 09:38 PM
Wow, 6 weeks between posts. I threw up a quick post to get things rolling again, I'll let you all get back into character and rehash the plan one last time if need be. I also threw in the map of the facility, in case you forgot about it.
grendel

Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to load the map.

Incorrect. There is a sewer enterance that is far enought away to be out of the ward.
As far as your Assensing Test goes, it is a rating 10 alarm ward.
Ecclesiastes
Aug 12 2004, 11:51 PM
Oh, and a reminder for the infiltration team...
The recon showed that you will want to use the manhole at the bottom left of the map, take the sewers west to the edge of the property, then north to the manhole at the northeast corner of the lot. Also keep in mind that he only did Astral recon, not physical.

Quick question. How far to the manhole we need to crawl into and is there any cover present? Can we stealth our way in or we will need something else to get the job done?

There is a fair ammount of cover from junk lying around. Everyone give me a stealth check, just for giggles.
Ecclesiastes
Aug 14 2004, 07:41 AM
Shadow: From the looks of the device, it is a rating 6 alarm. You are pretty sure that if someone brings it up slowly and just cracks the manhole open you can work on it, but it'll be a tight fit to get your tools in (+2 to TN).

Do you want initiative? Also, as an FYI, I tried to install service pack 2 for windows XP last night and now my laptop is hosed. I need to reinstall windows xp pro. now.
