Sorry for my absence this week...crazy times...trying to catch up, probably no IC until next week now though...

Quick response on the limits of RPing Below, to a certain extent, as long as you don't contradict what has already been written (easier said than done I know) then you have quite a lot of leeway to describe how things look and feel down here!  You know I like to let you have lots of rope to hang yourselves with 

For inspiration check out Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, good BBC production that you should still be able to track down...

[Aria]

Yeah, that's a really good question.

Also, does the Night Symphony even have their own sacred grounds or is this all in the iron grip of the Holies?

Holies are the predominant religious lot down here, but not the only ones...the sacred ground is pretty much neutral turf... to put you out of your misery I'm thinking that flower girl will direct you towards a particular one I have in mind, but I don't want to spoil things if you come up with a really good idea first!

There's a Lamplighters House... day/night pretty much matches the surface but of course the whole of 2075+ is kind of 24hours anyway!

There are some big caverns down here, the Gardens are probably one of those!  Things grow, put it down to 'weird magic shit'

[adamu]

All that is super helpful.

Thanks, Aria!

Have a great weekend!

So are Eva and Echo gone?  I haven't seen a post from either one in over a week I think now.

[Mercy Merchant]

I very much hope that Eva and Echo are not gone.  I think they are having a busy time in RL.  I have enjoyed their posts a lot and look forward to their return.

As in the IC, Al will be looking for anything that might even hint at trouble....

So here's a Perception test for what it's worth....

Perception check for threats: 11d6t5 6

All right, now that's some Sherlock-level perceptifying.



EDIT: Also, Killing Hands and Spirit Claw active.

Isn't it limited by your mental limit?  Not that I know what that is without checking mind you, just asking...

And you might need the anti spirit measures soon 

[adamu]

Yup.
But Al's mental limit is 10, so I'll keep all six successes.

[Aria]

As ever, happy to handle the conversation OoC and then have one of you write it up...keeps things flowing better than answering each query...

Yukika will concentrate on making her demands.

Negotiation =Cha 6 + Neg 4 + Cool Resolve 1 + Authorative Tone  2 + Edge 7: 20d6h5 10

Goals are to quickly establish the means to maintain contact, and the fact we will need her information to make our play.

I leave it to the team to cover Yukika's back.

[Jack_Spade]

Isaint will start Focused Concentration to reduce any existing environmental penalties by 3

Perception check Isaint:
Perception check w/Vision enhancement and Thermo: 18d6t5 5[18d6t5=5, 1, 4, 2, 5, 2, 2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2, 4, 6, 3, 5]

And yeah, those are pretty much the questions I had too.

[Aria]

Took the liberty of assuming you won't gun her down before she opens her mouth, but I'm happy to edit the IC if I need to...

[adamu]

Apparently no gunning down.

I like Jack/Isaint's call to disengage - absolutely nothing to be gained from a pitched battle with this witch, and lots of different things to lose.

But just in case things go south anyway, also activating the Flexibility focus. RAW not crystal, but I'd say its anti-get-subdued-in-melee bonus applies to being Engulfed by branches and vines...(or not?).

[Jack_Spade]

Yeah, this seems like a good reason to scram.

@Mercy
You realize that this is exactly one of those people we don't want to have even the tiniest shred of knowledge about the coming marriage? In a conversation with someone this charismatic we can't win anything. The only winning move is not to play.
