I'm with Bishop. I think we need to let Widget know to be wary of an ambush and hit the safe house, grab our stuff, and find somewhere else to crash until we know what the hell happened.

That sounds reasonable to me.

Bumped the thread and you all are at the safe house. I am adding 6 points of karma to the total for the encounter in Loveland.

Roleplay and let me know what's next. Emilio you have a meeting later in the day with the "odd mechanics" to see about repairing the drones and vehicles. You are meeting in the Barrens in a large warehouse.

Hi All!

I added your weekly drip of karma to the total. I'm here ready to respond to things in the IC thread - I have JxJxA's new character so as soon as a window opens up I will be introducing him into the mix. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Lol, I realized I forgot to pick up some stim patches and a few other things. Is it okay for me to grab them?

JxJxA go for it.

Umaro--Out of character, doesn't Distance play just as big of a hindrance as a ward? If we are a hundred kilometers (60 miles) away from where they expect us to be, we're as good as gone for the Search power. Taking the ferry to Orcas island or hiding out by Fort Lewis would provide a huge increase to the threshold to find us.

If they have a material link, then ritual sorcery will find us anywhere on the globe whether we're behind a ward or not.

Hey All!

Karma updated as usual.

As to the astral tracking they were need an active astral link and the Search power does have a modifier for distance - +1 per kilometer to the Threshold and then minus dice for being behind a mana barrier and/or under the Concealment power.

What's the plan y'all?

@ Bishop: Really? The Red Queen? You know that means we're all going to die down here.

Different Red Queen, less Alice, more Wonderland.

Let's hope so for our sake, as zombies are a very real problem in this world.

Hi All!

Sorry for the late posting but yesterday was a bit busy. Let me know if you need anything but I am thinking of bumping forward on Wed night/Thurs morning so if you need to get anything done now then please do so.

Eeesh, things got busy.

Bishop - that's a good point, simply getting out of the effective range of search would also work and I see no problem with that.

On the whole thought I agree with Fenris - if they wanted to take us out they could have already done it.

Ok everyone I want to bump to the meet with the mechanics in the Barrens so I need to know who is going with Emilio please.

Thanks!

Fat Man's spell list is: Increase Reaction, Increase Charisma, Increase Intuition, Increase Logic, Increase Willpower, Increase Reflexes, Heal, Stunbolt, Mind Probe*, Soundwave*, Physical Mask, Powerbolt, Mana Static, Shattershield

*linked to a Fetish.

He will explain as clearly as he can what the spells do.

It sounds like Fenris wanted Fat Man to come with him, but we should probably stick to the buddy system at least. Who would it make sense to send with Emilio?

Just to be clear, I'm actually not sure who (IC) Emilio has told about the meet, so that would be the first hurdle.

Secondly, yeah, buddy system at least, but we're such a small group now I'm thinking just run the whole group out there. 2 just isn't enough to do anything if we get jumped again - Four + spirits + drones we might have a fighting chance.

Everyone, just done in IC. Emilio and Fleet definitely should come. Everyone else is welcome.

I think Fenris makes a good point - we should probably just travel together. And with spirits/sprites/drones standing by.

Just posting to let you all know that I'm still here, just not anything I can do to contribute right now. ^_^

Hi All!

Sorry for the delay in bumping - 1/2 days at school and down a parent this week so juggling poorly at present. I'm going to start the bump to the meet in the Barrens with the mechanics. I am going to assume that Emilio and Fleet are going at least - anyone else going feel free to post their inclusion.

Fat Man is going to go, and is going to summon a Force 8 guardian spirit before we leave.

Spirit: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4437954/ + http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4437955/ 2 hit (F=8d6, I rolled 7 out of habit and the extra die is the last one)

Summoning: Summoning (2)+Spec(2)+Magic(+Mentor(2)+Focus(4) = 18d6, 4 hts http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4437956/, 2 net.

Soak drain: Intuition (6) + Willpower (6) + Centering (4) + Focus Will (2) = 18d6, 6 hits http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4437958/, no drain.

The spirit is given the order to assist us if we are attacked or attack anyone, it will have 1 service left.

Fat Man

Assensing 4 + Spec 2 + Intuition 6 = 12d6, http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4437963/ 3 hits

UmaroVI they are healthy, focused and eager to do business, no implants of any sort and their Magic is equal to your own and you have never seen their auras before. I just applied the same roll to both if that's ok with you?

General note: I'm not a combat type of Technomancer, and don't do big sprites. The closest thing I have to a combat sprite is the Machine Sprite to drive/improve stuff.

Umaro--Since Fat Man explained all of his spells to the group, would you mind listing them OOC so we know? Also, did you want to do the Cleansing again or are you going to just be sure to have Fat Man stay away from Rikik?

Free Action -- List of the Active and Passive nodes (checking for new ones besides our team)

If they don't have commlinks in Active or Passive, I'll start the scan for hidden ones.

(I'm assuming that I am currently more than 6 m away from the twins and Fat Man)

Bishop: It's in this post http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...t&p=1282922.

I think it's probably best to just keep Fat Man and Rikik separated when we can, since the Background Count also has some advantages. If you want it suppressed (such as to not draw attention), though, let me know.

BishopMcQ there are two passive nodes - one on each of the men.

Happy Monday all!

Karma updated as usual and bumping along. Emilio feel free to throw any social skill test you want to direct the exchange.

Happy Monday Again!

Bumped as usual and updated karma. I think we're just doing the social back and forth so feel free to post away replies.

I'm here but sick with a capital S so I'll post as soon as I feel better.

Happy Monday all!

So I updated the karma total for this week and I need to pause/close this game for now. My summer is ramping up to be very busy and time to run the game is going to be challenging. I want to thank everyone for playing and I will keep the information so when winter comes and my life slows down again I can send out PMs gauging interest to pick this back up or just toss up a recruitment thread again. It's been fun and I have enjoyed playing with you all and I hope everyone has a great summer.
