Sparky might still be on vacation

Sorry for the delay on my part.

w00t! Only five hours!

I mean, errr..geez, five hours?

Am I misremembering something force/successes hours?

Perception (looking for holes in the security)
14 05 03 02 01 01

Small Unit Tactics (to formulate escape routes, etc)
13 11 10 05 03 01

Templar Sp: Tactics (how they would hit us, etc)
13 08 07 04 04 03 03

No, no, I was just kidding around. The time is perfectly correct...it's just, you know, a long time

Just bumping the thread to keep us up on the list.

McQ, any chance you could pass along the info Sparky's character is supposed to have?

Right now Edana has a physical description, astral signature, and location. She has never heard the person's name but when written the astral emotion is vengeance or retribution...

Welcome back Sparky!

Good to be back!

Am I still warding while all this dialogue is going on?

Fenris--Yes, but unless you have a geas keeping you from speaking, you can join in. (Geasa like Chant or Silence would have problems)

Nope, no such thing

Hey Folks - we keep stalling out on this thread. I know I have been a bum lately about posting to it but I would really like to see this baby get started. Is there something we need to have happen in the IC thread? Like someone take up the leader role or has interest in this gone away?

Not pointing fingers just want to see if this thread can be raised from the dead is all. Let me know!

Thanks!

ps Hope you all had a great Halloween!

I'm still very interested. I've been pressed for time. But that should be getting radically better (and worse) soon. Edana is the chief holder of knowledge here about the guy we just tangled with. I'm not yet sure how to get her to gracefully cough up the info we need to move on.

Being the arbitrater of Edana's reality, we all rest assured that you will find a way

I personally would like to see the thread move, if for nothing but the selfish desire to play this cool character I came up with.

I guess to move forward we need a unified goal and some leadership. Edana's info would help, and some way to generate a slightly more trustful air among the team seems like it might help as well.

Going to do a tarot reading on myself to see if I can get a better understanding of what's going on. Will post rolls when I get home from work. Thanks!

Ok McQuillan has kicked me into gear so I can post now. Going for a general level of detail - TN 8 - and the question is how much danger are we currently in?

Centering (for additional successes)
08 08 04 02 02 01 (2 successes/1 carries over)

Divination
11 07 04 02 01 01 (2 successes/3 total)

For people confused about Buddha's math...the TN is 6.

Ok, true numbers have long mocked me and thwarted my ambitions.

Wow McQuillan, nice description of the reading there.

Thanks! I always like playing with Divination stuff...

For all - I am indeed trying to smooth things over and bring everybody a little more "together". Since I personally have very little diplomatic ability, I am going to rely on the dice and your keen sense of roleplaying fairness to moderate your reactions accordingly Please help me, help you!

Etiquette: 10 08 04 04 04 04 03 02 (to smooth things over)

So I guess this is the part where we all hit contacts and dig up what we can?

I think so. Have we actually gotten any pictures or direct information we can use to identify the guy to our contacts? If not, can someone pass that on?

You do not have any pictures yet...though a decker may be able to pull them up given an address and general description.

Herne has such a description, Crash is snoring loudly.

lol...so we have the dog bite the decker, and boom, we've put the description together with someone that can do something with it!

Posts will be light for the next few days, heading out to GenCon SoCal!

Have lots of fun!

I have to take a posting break, I have family arriving tomorrow for the holiday and won't be able to post until next Monday. Feel free to NPC me so the thread doesn't get bogged down. Thanks and everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiviing.

Alright team--everyone's had a little break, let's get back in here and see what we can do.

Back and ready to go here. I think the plan of recon is solid and I can check with our (Kraxus and myself) contacts to see what we can find out about this mystery man.

Just waiting on the picture from Crash to run it by my contact. The less noise he makes the better, and this guys prolly using an assumed name.

And I'm a bad monkey. Sorry about taking so long to post, with GenCon and Thanksgiving I haven't done much at all in the last three weeks. Sorry guys!

Ready to roll with the recon--I'm presuming we have an astral fly-by and a meat-world drive-by...

Is anyone going to be doing a stake out? What is everyone in the meat world wearing/carrying? The address is in the hotel district of Downtown Seattle (A-AA Neighborhood)

No stake out here, Edana and Herne are familiar and WAY too conspicuous to this bad Templar man.

With that in mind I think I'm going to sit it out as well and leave the mages to do an astralfly by and see what they find out.

Fenris--
I need a Stealth (Astral) check from you and an Astral Perception test.

Shadow--Looks like you're going the physical recon alone...I still need answers to my earlier questions. "Is anyone going to be doing a stake out? What is everyone in the meat world wearing/carrying?" Also what kind of vehicle do you drive?

Everyone in the meat world doing recon?

Or just in general?

Sparky--That was for the recon crowd...Are you going to do your meeting on screen or off?

The meeting was intended as an off camera thing, mostly because it deals with Edana's personal life, rather than team objectives. Though one or two folks at the meeting are contacts of hers.

It's part of her struggle to be legit.

And stuff.

She'll definitely be keeping an ear out for comms from the team in the day-ish hours (tied up until 3pm-ish).

McQ - if you want to bump her actions, she'll send Herne to check in with Gellawyn/Crash (since Kraxus/Downtown are going to be doing recon) while she's busy.

Can spirits assense things? Like, say, weapon foci?

Yes they can, presuming they can see it. Aura Reading will help.

OOYY!! Fenris, Shadow are you still with us?

I'm here! Trying to unravel our puzzling decker friend.

Buddha--Perception test please. Computers will act as a complementary skill if you have it.

Perception
15 10 09 05 03 01

I have vision mag lvl 3 if that helps at all.

Yeah I am here. DT wants to reconoiter the area and get a good lay out in his head. Then he will slowly move in on the targets house/building.

Since we've got Shadow out of the building, I'm just going to roll Fenris' skill tests for him to move things along.

I'm posting the rolls and what I used in case I need to go back and modify something for an ability I didn't see on the sheet.

Stealth (Astral) 05 04 02 01
Base Skill 4

Perception (astral) 10 05 05 05 03 03 02 02 01 01 01 01
Int 6 + Initiate 6

Sorry. It was...uh...the Black Plague! I was out for weeks, couldn't be helped.

Assensing to check the ward for force and type:
Int: 09 04 04 03 03 02
Initiate: 16 11 05 04 02 01

7 successes, should be everything

Additionally, if I try to sync with a ward and fail, do I know before I try and penetrate the ward that I've failed?

Also, from what I understand, if I try to just move through a ward, unless I engage in combat with it, I just bounce off. Does the creator of the ward know that I just bounced off, if I'm not engaging it in combat?

Likely excuse...I talk with your roommates...

Roll that masking if you want to synch up and blend in with the ward. An assensing test may help to llet you know what you're up against.

lol...got to stop editing my posts. Lemme get answers to the two previous questions before I do any sync'ing.
