Don't worry about it ,I see roulette has made her entrance.

Do I own anybody info?

question: is savage suppose to meet roulette and jacob at the bar they are at or is everyone meeting near the bar where the kid is?

Not everyone should leave the club, but Jacob and Roulette don't have transportation of their own. Perhaps Savage could divert one vehicle to the club where they are? I'm working on a post right now, so Zane can pass on what Roulette says.

Altivecer: Roulette asked Kiryl in my last IC post to look into Minobe and Kimura more as he offered, but I don't know how long that will take him. She asked that it be sent to her pager so it doesn't interrupt. And did Fafnir get his info?

yojimbo.We are currently waiting for an IC conversation between Zane,Bob,and Roulette to determine the best plan of action.Shouldn't be long now.

How do I get file posting privileges?

To Shadowrun 2060?You should be allowed to upload them to the Yahoo site right now.Let me check.
*checks*
Yep.You are good to go.Just go to Files on the Yahoo site and upload them from there.Some people don't have email notices on so,you may want to let everybody know you are posting anything over there.on this thread.

I will post Roulette's on hand gear list tomorrow. Slipped my mind.

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days folks, for some reason I haven't been able to access dumpshock for a couple of days.

Going through the stuff I've missed now.

Sorry got a bit distracted yesterday I will post an ic later today.

Yeah.Dumpshocks server was a little flaky there for a while.If that happens again try going here.For some reason the forums weren't effected,but I had to link from Google to end up here.

Jacob,and Chunky.You guys are fine.I didn't mean to come across as a militant idiot when I posted before.

hey chunky04, you cool with the banter between bob and Savage? i personally think it's funny and i'd like to keep it going off and on as the game unfolds.

yojimbo

I know I got a laugh out of it.It's definitely character building.

I'm very much enjoying it myself actually, and I suspect Bob is too

I've had to chuckle a few times myself.

well, we've all heard what the GM said, the kids getting good and drunk but he's got his buddies with him. anywon want to tweak the plan a little?

yojimbo

I don't know about the others, but I'd expected he probably wouldn't be entirely alone when we found him. Btw, is anyone coming by to pick up Roulette and Jacob or not? The situation could change by the time they get there, so I'll wait until I know what it's like then to suggest tweaks.

Isn't Savage on his way to pick you up?I thought that was the plan.

my fault, i thougth i was supposed to do some recon first wiht Zane. i wasn't sure how the other two were getting there. I'll take care of that now.

yojimbo

Given the current situation I see a couple of options.1)Have Roulette let the flirting begin when she arrives.2)Do nothing and wait to see where they go from here.3)Have someone approach Jason when he is in the bathroom(definitely going to happen with all the alcohol being imbibed). Inform him his parents are worried about him,and thus hired a team to find out what the problem is,and ultimately bring him to them.The key behind this is letting him know his resistance in ANY way,including letting any of the group he is with know,will result in them being hurt or possibly killed.Also to promise that nothing bad will happen to his friends or himself IF he follows our instructions.This also let's us position our team in a place WE want to be.The advantage would definitely be ours.I also don't think he will resist if his friends are in harm's way.

There are a ton of other possibilities,but I think the direct approach may actually do the trick.That is considering he is the only one in the bathroom(only potential problem).A little fast talk/ intimidation may be the easiest solution.Maybe we should give Roulette a chance to do her thing?Waiting on the other hand isn't a bad idea either.However he is already drunk,and might call it a night soon.He does have school in the morning.He probably has hitched a ride with one of the group he is with.Upon leaving and getting to his dorm there is no window of time to grab him.Also,I'm not to keen about swiping him on campus in front of his dorm and possible witnesses.A lot of room for an incident as well.

Anyone's thoughts?

All this can be covered IC in Zane's call to Roulette.I was just trying to get an idea of people's thoughts beforehand because in IC it would take an extremely long time given everyones different time zones etc.

Go for ye olde dance floor pickup I say. An oldie but a goodie. Look at him suggestively while dancing if need be to get him up there.

if that don't work we can always take them out side,when we all get there, we should have enough back up to do them quickly.

i'm definately for all three plans, first we let roulette do her magic, if that doesn't work by the time he hits the bathroom then we catch him in there. BUT my suggestion is that we knock the kid out, no point in giving him the oppertunity to be a hero. from there, we feed him out the window (if there is one) or have someone throw him over their shoulder and walk out. granted this will draw attention but we'll have roulette inside, and i'd suggest putting some muscle at the bar to back her up, and once the man with the kid makes it outside we'vet got a long gun to cover them. if we handle it right, roulette alone telling his buddies to be cool and point at the big old troll at the bar should be enough. even if they are packin, seeing his big butt and knowing she's that close to them will make them think again. IMHO.

yojimbo

A question for Altivecer.

Has this place got a back door?:We should go in in pairs so that we don't seam threatening then if roulette doesn't win Jason's heart we hit them and still keep the surprise.

Just what I was writing in my post. Roulette is suggesting she and Jacob go around back to see if there's a door, while they wait to hear from Zane. Regardless of which plan they go with, someone should be covering just in case. There is a door at the back on the map, but I don't know where it leads.

If Zane really wants to do the direct approach, he can. Just let the others know soon. Roulette will cover the back door in that case. She has some unarmed combat skill she could use to slow him down if need be, and see if she can get a slap patch on him. There really isn't much else she could do with no tranq bullets. Bob and his stun spells should be in a good spot to cover Zane.

If you don't go for the direct approach, Roulette will enter the bar once she hears from Zane.

On hand:
Form-Fitting Half Body Suit
Actioneer Long Coat
Ancien Scarf
Standard Credstick
Tranq Patches (Rating 6) X2
Lockpick Set
Browning Ultra-Power w/ concealable holster, 10X gel rounds loaded, 10X regular rounds in spare clip
Hardliner Gloves
Knife
Balaclava
pager
cellphone
PocSec
Microtransceiver w/ subvocal mic

In her gear bag:
Saviour Advanced Medkit
Microtronics Tool Kit
Gel Rounds X40
Regular Rounds X20
Disguise Kit
Ordinary Clothing X1
Armour vest w/ plates
grapple gun w/ line

If Savage or Jacob needed any gel rounds, she gave them some.

At this point I am leaning towards the direct approach.My belief is that Jason has probably at his young age only heard stories of shadowrunners.Being confronted face to face with one is sure to intimidate him.Especially if he cares about his friends well being.If he attempts to engage in anything physical I'm confident Zane is much faster. I will cover the basic positioning of everyone in my phone call to Roulette.From there you can tweak the plan somewhat.

I wasn't clear on where Bob will be, but he needs to be available for a stun spell if one is necessary. I don't like the idea of using gel rounds on Jason at all, and a patch will be more difficult to get on than a spell or bullet. Though Roulette has one ready if it comes to it.

Sorry I haven't posted, I am here. I've never used Dumpshock and it seems that i missed a few posts. Well, truth be told, I didn't realize that there was more than one page so I never scrolled off the first one. I was wondering what was happening to the game... Sorry, I posted and I'm up to speed now. Just let me know when I make mistakes guys, I'm not entirely used to the shadowrun system.

Joshua Redmon
aka Fever

Ahhh.No problem man.We were juat wondering where you were.Good to have you.I'm sure we can get you fit in to the story pretty easily.Why don't you put a phone call into Roulette IC after you've caught up on all the posts.

I'm off for tonight, but if Fever and/or Bob call Roulette, she will fill them in. She will also ask Fever what the security situation looks like on his end.

this kid and his buddies have got me nervous, i won't lie. i say we assume they are professionals and go from there. here's what i can do: i've got a fast drone with a grenade launcher preped and waiting. someone says the word and i'll fill the place with smoke, might help the getaway. i'm just convinced that his two buddies aren't as innocent as we're assuming they are. the kid might be, but i'm nervous about them. i hope i'm wrong.

yojimbo

So,looks like the restroom idea isn't possible.Filling the place with smoke would likely cause panic and a frantic rush for the exit in which people would get trampled and/or possibly killed.There is only one exit,right?I'm thinking that we go back to the Roulette plan.Just because there is no dance floor doesn't rule out an encounter between her and Jason.The details will be up to Roulettes as far as the method in which she introduces herself.Jacob and I will be there if anything goes wrong.If that fails we will just wait to see where they go from here.

savage is not a dwarf, he's human. let me know if i'm misunderstanding you.

yojimbo

Who are you talking about misunderstanding?

Roulette has been concerned about Kimura and Minobe from the start; they could turn out to be red herrings, but the fact no one has turned up much of substance on them is curious. Given the Johnson said they tend to hang out with Jason in the evening, it's why she was considering nabbing him from his dorm. Anyway, she's quite alert to the idea of them complicating things if they realize something is up.

I agree with cheezypoof714 about the no grenades tact. That's likely to just complicate things more, and if Jason got so much as wounded, I doubt the team would see any more of the already little money they're slated to receive.

Roulette will aim for heading inside again, once she knows how things stand inside. She won't know Zane's given up on the restroom idea until he tells her, but it'll be quick work to head back around to the front if no one has a better idea. I'd still suggest someone stay by the back door so we have the exits covered. We have to consider they may not be able to get Jason at this location, but there's still later on tonight, and even tomorrow, if it comes to it. (I believe the tickets were for the day after tomorrow?)

We need at least two people out side trying not to be seen thiers nothing worse then two cops that you saw last night at a club arresting you.

Doh! We're all dumb. Why didn't we think of ye olde spiked drink trick. Hell I could even have done it with a magic fingers spell.

cool, so does savage need to do a Turbolax run to the corner store?

Altivecer.Zane is looking for a table to free up.As long as it is with n a diastance close enough to keep an eye on Jason.

Let me make sure I know where everyone is

Jason and friends are sitting at table 6

Fever is on the roof, decked into the security system

Zane is standing at the bar across from table 5

Jacob is in the bar at the "back of the room". Where is that? By table 1, 7 or 10?

Bob is entering the bar, he is currently by the front door heading where?

Roulette is outside the back door

Savage is the in car

Fafnir is is in the alley

Fritz is at home?

Zane, unless you want to try an intimidate someone the chance of a table opening are small.

Negative on the intimidation.If Jason goes to the bathroom,and the chance reveals itself who wants to have Zane make a move?Speak up soon so I have a chance to radio Roulette.It may be the easiest way,but I'm not going to do anything unless the majority is happy with the idea.

i don't see us having too many other options, cheezypoof. what kind of plan B do you want to do if it goes sour?

yojimbo

Roulette will begin to move from the alley towards the front door of the bar. In light of the last GM post, if Zane transmits that he'll try and corner Jason after all, she'll move back to position by the rear exit to wait. I'll post IC again once I know for sure, so I don't keep posting back and forth actions on that point It doesn't sound like the group will be there much longer, and that cramps Roulette's chances, especially if Jason means to spend part of that 20 minutes in the line/restroom.

As for a plan B if Zane makes a move: If things go sour such that Jason resists...well, that sort of depends on exactly what happens. If Bob can stun him and he can be hauled out the back door and stuffed in the van fast, that's a possibility. The bathrooms are very close to that back door. If he isn't taken at that point, they've probably lost their chance on doing it any other way once he's been alerted to a problem, and if it comes down to between letting him get away and the risk of hurting him, they should let him go.

If, on the other hand, things are 'sour' such that the group leaves before Zane or Roulette have a chance to make a move, then they can go back to attempting to extract him from his dorm room. With what he's had to drink, he'll probably be sleeping soundly.
