It means that Snow still only knows about the link and goes relatively unmolested. For now...

Sam's going to keep his Kinesics, Linguistics, and Commanding Voice powers. Hopefully, he won't need the boosts to leadership, negotiation, or agility; I don't think I'l miss the voice control. Haven't used it, and honestly had forgotten he had it.

Electronic Warfare + Scan 5d6t5=0

Snow is not a good decker, by any stretch of the imagination, but she's the best you've got.

She wasn't built to be. Mercy built her as kind of a jack-of-many-trades, at my suggestion. Think of her less as a hacker and more of a power user with really good equipment. She is also the team medic, backup face and third gun.

BTW, faro and Necro can feel free to post as CLem if they feel a need. I know this aspect thing is a bugger and I like how you both are playing it for the weight that it is.

As an FYI: I'll be away from December 1st until 9th without internet access. I'll see you all when I get back.

Samriel is the elf you are tracking, not the dad from Victoria Island, that said, the Englebrechts are there as well, but they are humans, and appear to want little to do with ANYONE in the room.

Okay, post edited.

I am really sorry I missed you guys writing, I have been waiting for you, but last week was finals. I was completely swamped.

Okay, here are my rolls. Since assensing is linked to intuition, it's not affected by the domain.

assensing on the object:
https://orokos.com/roll/775187
2 hits.

assensing on Samriel:
https://orokos.com/roll/775188
no hits, but no crit failure either. So I guess the domain does affect me after all.
Or the object overwhelmed me with it's aura.

Have we ever met Samriel before? If so, I'll adapt my post.

Nope, I would have told youwhen you first saw the pic.

Nothing for Snow to contribute at the moment as magic is well outside her expertise. I'm sure part of our pace is because of people visiting family for the holidays.

Happy Decemberween everyone!

We need a gift for a king. I'm not sure what that could be, but if you have ideas, throw them into the group.

The team already has access to all of the data in Feral Cities, feel free to peruse that for info. I don't have a lot of access right now, I am at Disney with the fam this week

I've checked the book and there is not much about the king of the Yoruba, at least not about his likes and dislikes (well, he has a lot of wives and airplanes, but that won't help us much).
The questions I've put to Jane, if they were already answered somewhere, please do let me know and I'll edit, as it's been a while and I'm not fully awake yet (had some friends over last night).

Waiting for seduction/persuasion and data search rolls

Have a threshold in mind for data search?

Decided to just do 10 rolls.

Data Search = 29 total hits.

Thanks for the roll, sorry I couldn't give you a threshold, there really isn't a lot of information, you can confirm the rumors of Feral Cities about being passive to the flesh trade moving through. You find a couple of puff pieces and historical texts that show him to be a smart guy who is keeping his money flowing and keeping his power, he technically won the last war by making friends with enough corporate interests to fund a large force of mercs in return for pipeline access and mineral rights (telesma). Other than some seething tensions with the Igbo, there just isn't much to be found.

I'll go with seduction, as that is one I actually have (it falls under con according to the rulebook). I've made 5 rolls, as I'm not sure how it goes. If some nuyen or naria is needed to get information flowing, that's of course also possible (not too much, but some is not an issue). I have no OOC idea on how much to give, but I guess my character knows IC.

seduction (cha+con): 5#6d6t5 2 3 1 2 2

Charisma 2 - CM 1 - Defaulting 1 = Pool 0

leave that to me and Sam.

Someone want to make a check for Torley?

For Torley

Cha 6 + Con 4 + Kinesics 3 = Pool 13
Con: 13d6t5 2

@Crossbow: the invitation that is left at the table. Can we palm that one? At least to study it in more detail and then either to simply keep it, forge it, or give it back and earn some gratitude?

No one noticed the invite having been left until he came back for it, but you got a decent look at it because you were among the last ones out and the guy was waving it to the rest of his associates.

Without having one to get a closer look, it would be difficult to forge, but the fact that they are physical objects means they can be stolen if you want to try that route.

Okay, just checking, are you as a team simply going to accept the change in mission without comment or negotiation? I say this because the only reason this would be the case is not having someone thinking like a Face being active right now.

O'Connor's way too off kilter thanks to the domain to really notice, and he's throwing himself into solving the current obstacle as a way to distract himself. Also, zero charisma pool.

Snow's not really the face and I'm still getting used to her, but I guess she can step up.

it's been so long that I actually forgot what the Original mission was.
EDIT: or the Original payment agreement.

Anyone can step in and post as Torley, he has gone MIA again..

Mission: Guard Jane and assist in locating the elf Samriel and a (supposedly) stolen artifact sextant.

Payment: 2,000¥ per person per day, plus a 250¥ per diem with a guaranteed five days of payment. A 50,000¥ bonus to the team if the sextant is recovered and delivered to Jane's client.

Added a post for Torley, but I'd prefer to leave the dice rolls to GM since I don't know Torley's char-sheet front to back and don't know how Thvor would redistribute adept powers within the domain.

I am back, digging out of school and work for the moment.

Torley has 13 dice to throw for negotiation, Snow can add up to four with a coordination check. He dropped the improved abilities and voice control to the impediment.

Negotiations (Charisma 6 + Skill 4 + Kinesics 3): 13d6t5 8

It has been quite busy at work lately, so I've been skipping here a bit. I'll try to get a post in.

EDIT: I can also help a bit. Sammy has some ability in the negotiation business. Not like Torley, but enough to help out.

Sorry for disappearing folks, had school stuff to deal with. I have now started a new cycle and can go back to procrastinating.

Give me a Charisma check when you get the chance farothel, so I know how much you get from the acolyte.

I am also going to need someone to drop in for Torley.

charisma
charisma: 4d6t5 2

in case etiquette or con applies:
con: 2d6t5 1

We may have someone dropping in to take over Torley, I have played with him in the other game, hopefully he can help us keep moving.

Be nice.

Sorry I've been so inactive. With the pandemic, I've been running 14 hour days almost daily, hauling food, water, etc.

I am not counting on seeing anyone until we are through this.

I'd actually expect to see more from those who are in non-essential fields. I've had friends and family laid off because their jobs aren't essential.

I have no idea who does what, I wouldn't think I was working in an essential field, but I am, even though I haven't got a lot to do. Until they check in I don't even know if they got hit by the virus.

Well, I work in an essential field. I work at a big pharma company, in their infectious disease and vaccine department. We know what to do these days.

Holy crap, you are literally on the frontline. I had a friend who worked for Pfizer way back in the day. Stay safe.

Actually, this is incorrect, and as a mage well versed in stealth magic and magical theory and especially considering the crap ton of research done for a Horizon pilot that never made it to trid called NINJAS! - Adepts in the Forth World, Starlet would know this.

Physical adepts that concentrate in stealth skills become scarily powerful very quickly, because the power set is cheap. If this thief were a graded initiate, which he would have to be to conceal himself from the high priests of this state religion, it wouldn't necessarily be impossible to operate in opposition to the domain.

Yay! We are back! Check in when you get in.

Here.

I'm back. Sorry, but I have a lot of work and working from home isn't Always easy.
