Eh. Maybe not. If there's a threat as Aria implies, having M already in the driver's seat might be helpful. Of course, if he has a good commlink an off the shelf voice mask could allow him to simply translate for her, complete with feminine voice. But to answer the question, no, the shallow dropped away.

[gilga]

I just assumed that Solo is speaking her words. You indeed cant see her.

I've penned my IC in stages with '***' in between segments... I wanted to get it all down but I recognise that if this was a tabletop game you'd get the chance to respond long before, but I can post now, so if your actions mean I need to amend my post so be it!  Just a note, the control emotions spell can be resisted, but otherwise it'll be difficult to opt for violence as the first response to their arrival...

As a side note, I'm loving the irony in Isaint's text to GN... the specific orders to the spirits were 'manifest, destroy any that attack you' which granted is provocative but you lot pre-empted the attack  ...of course the summoner knew you would attack but when we are boiling down to semantics...

[Kinkerbell]

@Aria, I actually had a whole thing about orders in the first version of my IC post, but my computer ate it. Still, its nice to be vindicated! Also, harlequins? What did we ever do to you? I know that RG has roles for the Harlequin's Kiss Monofilament Garrotte, but damn.

What language are they speaking?

I am countering the hell out of that spell. Willpower is the resistance roll, I assume? Plus my spell defense dice?

Finally, let me do my astral perception thing so that you can tell me if I or my spirits are seeing anything out of the ordinary.

Goodnight: 5 successes (On nine dice!)
Natasha's Spirit: 4 successes

And lastly, while I'm covering it all:

In case street knowledge about this area helps: 5 Successes

Going once, going twice?

[Kinkerbell]

Edited my last post to account for Goodnight's response to the troupe showing up.

Etiquette Roll: 5 Successes

I'm really tempted to spend that edge to reroll failures, but I'll save it for now.

[Kinkerbell]

I'll be back in a few hours. Please, please try not to piss off the nice murderclowns in my absence!

Hey Aria, am I allowed to put words in Natasha's mouth?

[Aria]

I assume you mean countering for yourself rather than dispelling? Logic+Will to resist then log+will-6 subsequently to reduce net hits...

4 are awakened, Hecate is full Mage, duh, mysads and adepts for others, decker is mundane+cyber, spells galore and weapon foci...

Yes, happy for you to speak for Natasha...

[gilga]

What is the treshold to resist?

[adamu]

Okay, I've posted my initial reaction.

Will roll my spell resist (just for fun - not planning on just shooting, whatever the outcome) when I get home, and pick up from there depending on the result.

[Aria]

What is the treshold to resist?

Need to roll more net hits, in this case 6! But if you reduce them you can try again with subsequent complex actions until you get 6 total (although the subsequent rolls are at -6D!

[gilga]

Okay - but if they can hit us I think that the spell does not effect anymore right?

[Kinkerbell]

Goodnight's Spell Defense - 18d6t5: 10 Successes!

[gilga]

WOW

By the way Solo use his ettiqute skills to help goodnight talk the talk
so she should get +2 hits (Solo had 4 successes and then rolled 4 cooperation dice for 2 hits)

[adamu]

Well, just for fun, and to start building successes for later - Resisting control emotions: 10d6t5 3

Halfway there.

But yeah, what gilga asked, this doesn't hold if they start poking people in the eye, does it?

Or is the -2 to actions against the emotion in effect even then?

All good for now anyway - I suspect with this group we'll have a nice chat first even if they do plan to skin us alive and steal our lunch money!

[gilga]

I think they will play with us - they could have just attacked if they wanted and -2 is not that bad.
Nitro will be so confident that Solo is a headcase after he improvise poems to the strangers in the middle of the catacombs.

Adamu! awsome post I did not see THAT coming - just figured that they seem artistic and might appreciate the gesture.
