With your trid-projector and design skills, you could take half the crew with you - virtually  ;)

True there is a five meter cube focused on me that I can project to... the question is, how obvious is a projection source?

Nice post, Kinkerbell.

Next up - pitch the plan (what there is of it).

Not in much of a posting mood and Vicki doesnt have much to contribute right now, so assume shes there but quiet. Ill respond if anyone talks to her directly.

She does, but I was on plane. I am working on a post where Solo asks her if she want to participate/learn in ritual magic.
karma expenditures:
Ritual magic 0-->5 + specialization (minion) 32 karma (JoaT)
Initiation Greater Ritual (16 karma)
watcher ritual  (5 karma)
I will roll dice once Aria approves the expenditure, or do somthing slightly else if no. It should create fairly good watcher spirits with 15 dice in assensing ;)

He say that he takes one of the rooms not to creep people up - but do feel free to get curious and check the odd noise if you like.

haha!

Mechanically this dancing is actually a series of watcher rituals with greater ritual as the leader. I do not assume that Vicki knows ritual magic so I just take Solo's dice pool. Every ritual takes 6 minutes, so I feel that it is appropriate for a downtime.

Solo will use greater ritual +2 drain and then extend 4*6=24 reagents to reduce drain by 4. Overall ritual cost is 30, I did 7 rituals the total reagent cost is 210.  Creating a temporary magical lodge cost 6 more - so we are 216 on cost for the creation of 5 watcher spirits. Sure they are the weakest kind of spirit and can only be in the astral, and even at this force I am not sure they will be very useful. (We'll see but now Solo can be a 'rigger' in the astral.

Solo cast magic 7 + ritual spellacasting 5 + spec 2 + power focus 2 = 16, vs F*2 (12)
Ritual 1: 16d6t5 6
Ritual 1 defense: 12d6t5 2
Watcher 1 created F6 + (magic 7)
drain is 6 - reduced by reagents to a minimum of 2.
drain: 17d6t5 6
no drain, 4 nets hit

Ritual 2:
Ritual 2: 16d6t5 6
Ritual 2 defnese: 12d6t5 1
Drain ritual 2: 17d6t5 5
drain is 4, reduced to 2 with reagents.
no drain 5, net hits.

Ritual 3:
Ritual 3: 16d6t5 2
Ritual 3 -defense: 12d6t5 3
ritual failed.
drain:  8 reduced to 4, with reagents - no drain taken.
Ritual 3 -drain: 17d6t5 7

Ritual 4:
Ritual 4: 16d6t5 6
Ritual 4 -defense: 12d6t5 3
drain 8, reduced to 4 with reagents - no drain taken.
Drain ritual 4: 17d6t5 4
3 watchers so far!

Ritual 5:
Ritual 5: 16d6t5 3
Ritual 5 -defense: 12d6t5 4
ritual failed
drain is 10, reduced to 6 with reagents.
drain: 17d6t5 6
no drain taken.
 
Ritual 6:
Ritual 6: 16d6t5 4
Ritual 6 defense: 12d6t5 3
drain is 8 reduced to 4,
drain: 17d6t5 4
Watcher created 1 net hit.

Ritual 7:
Ritual 7: 16d6t5 11
Ritual 7-defense: 12d6t5 5
watcher created, 6 net hits.
drain is 12 reduced to 8 with reagents
drain 7: 17d6t5 10
no drain.

I will update charsheet + karma and skills and everything once I get the okay.

Basically I am learning about stuff that I never used in the rules so far.

In a room or not, I am pretty sure we will hear his solo rendition of the Rocky Horror ensemble.

Thanks! I am glad you liked it. Had some time to think about that post on the way back to Italy.

Hehehe, big Rocky Horror fan and just the though of some badass runner busting out into the full Time Warp scene with a bunch of watcher images of himself is hilarious.

I'll hopefully get a post up sometime next couple of days about Nitro's adventures, just my neck's been really bad last couple of days and made it hard to martial my thoughts for much, coming up with a character for the Tribal game has taken much of my mental energy.
