"Request the fancy car?" Now the Frenchman is offended his sport car is not considered 'Fancy'!

Though if it's a Bentley he'll take it

I suggest Team 2 enter the hotel already. We're incognito and it will help assessing the layout and positioning of security, even if we stay idle inside the ballroom, just mingling with the guests.

Hi, sorry I have been out of the loop.  I just posted IC.

[HydroRaven]

The disguise kit (which has an availability rating of 0) would probably be widely available, depending on what the GM decides is open around Oxford at 22:00.

[pistolgrip]

I've made my first gameplay post. Let me know if I did something wrong/crazy.

[adamu]

@Pistolgrip - so, are you still in London?

IC-wise, are you assuming you have not been given our location or contact info?

No problems with how you want to play it, but do hope you'll join us!!!

[zeththeadeptork]

Okay so I need aria.to make my next move I want to go into the tower and.take out the opp silently and get in position.  Maybe someone could do a quick astral once over.dip I can get a head count?

[pistolgrip]

Sorry, the maps link I posted is about 1/2 to 3/4 mile west of the Mathematics institute at Oxford. I didn't mean to leave that ambiguous. We can say Madezyne is staying in the same hotel as the wife even, to save trouble.
Madezyne, btw, is meant to be a moderate trid star with her own fashion show where she typically degrades people for their poor fashion and then replaces their wardrobe with articles she designed (the latest in trendy high-society protective fashion), first outfit free. But of course her tastes are very niche and exotic, so she can't quite break into super-stardom.

And yes, clearly Jackhammer was left in the dark on this one. Mechanically that's an opportunity for any of the teams/teammates to call on me for whatever. Though we may need some IC explanation of my talents.

@zeththeadeptork

At the moment you are in the exact spot, I'd expect the opposition to set up shop, so there should be an announcement or the chance of friendly fire goes way up...

@Aria

How strong is the lock and the ward at the institute? I assume it's after hours and they are closed up already.
Also, I assume from the rules, that an unsuccessful careful attempt to press through won't dispell the invisibility, but instead prevent me from gaining access. I explicitly do not want to brute force my way through.

Can I have a Magic + Charisma [Astral] v. barrier’s Force x 2 Opposed Test, each net hit allows you to take through something 'magical' like the spell... EDIT: Ignore me, just seen them in the IC...ok, 3 hits isn't going to cut it this time I'm afraid, but at least no alarms are going off!!!

Physical lock will be a maglock with proximity RFID reader... can you confirm what sort of time (in case I missed it) you are forcing entry?

@Adamu: rather than quote your text...all looks good. Where you are parked currently is fine, it was an observation about sore thumbs etc.  Bear in mind that as soon as you start moving people 'might' take note...they might not of course...

Well a two seater sportscar isn't going to be much use for the 3 of you plus the wife...

@Zeth - feel free to make stealth and climbing rolls for the tower...

[Aria]

@Gilga: Heightened concentration only reduces spell sustaining mods once (not every spell you have sustained) but in this case the -2D made no odds to your roll...

@All: When posting rolls can you post the string of D so that I can knock mods off the back easily without having to follow links? Thanks!

Still a load more to IC to read

[gilga]

Solo has magic 7 so he get reduction of -4, or is it a reduction of one factor up to -4.

[Jack_Spade]

@Aria

No problem. 

So, here the rolls:

Agility Boost: 8d6t5 3 [8d6t5=4, 6, 3, 5, 3, 4, 5, 2]
Cracking open the case w/ electronic lock pick: Locksmithing+Agility+Autopicker 6: 17d6t5 8 [17d6t5=6, 5, 6, 2, 5, 3, 5, 1, 5, 5, 1, 6, 1, 2, 4, 2, 1]
Locksmithing+Agility vs. anti-temper device: 13d6t5 7 [13d6t5=4, 4, 5, 6, 2, 6, 6, 4, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6]
Setting up a Data Tap for Snow Crash and closing the case quickly before someone sees it open.

Planned time for the whole thing: Hopefully not more than two or three minutes.

While Snow (hopefully) hacks, he tries again to pass through the ward:

Magic+Cha: 9d6t5 4 [9d6t5=2, 2, 6, 5, 5, 1, 4, 4, 5]

[zeththeadeptork]

[pistolgrip]

Things'll get real cozy when you find out the wife is a plus-sized troll...

PS - waiting for an invitation to the action. Don't be shy. Surely someone needs an archer and/or bulldozer.

Well. looks like you guys are entering the hotel now, so it's academic. Rock onward.

Al's BMW is just a Shin-Hyung-equivalent, anyway! Tricked out a bit, but basically the same car.
