Once the team decides where they want to go, I can post again.

As far as I know they thought about casing the Restaurant that will provide the catering. And while they are at it they want to insert the team as servers into the list for the event.
Another lead was to find the boss of the assassin and taking him out before he can come after them.
Finally they could hole up and wait for Woden and Frigg to make an appearance - although Frigg has sworn that they wouldn't meet ever again with the team.

I mean, if the team wants to find them Woden and Friga, I can send a spirit to do astral tracking (because spirits are better at everything, ugh).

Ugh, I can't wait to bond that foci. There goes all my karma for the next little while. And money. I should have splashed alchemy so I could harvest my own reagents, but I suppose Vodou reagents won't be particularly easy to find in Seattle. Reagents are so expensive.

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth has a one-track mind, and a "we'll deal with it when it gets here" attitude about threats on their life.

For now, we need Krestov to calm bnc down so that she'll come out of her room, then we can handwave the interview process, and then I believe we move to dealing with infiltrating as the caterers.

[SgtBoomCloud]

Krestov's efforts on that front have pretty much been played out behind the curtain.  Will have a post in a couple hours summarizing.  But after that I think we can press on then

[hadaalia]

So, to clarify, can I post now? And we're meeting a restaurant at/post breakfast?

[Jack_Spade]

Jupp, you can post, but you are meeting at the team's house - the restaurant visit is about 7 hours away.

@GM

So, what do I get from studying the Manor?

So, I finally updated bnc. The character sheet in Deep Black Sea is up-to-date. Here's what happended:

Deep Black Sea

The car is to be equipped with the Ruhrmetal SF-20 HMG

That leaves me with 21,690 cash. I'm saving this.

[Sabato Kuroi]

@GM

can I buy a positive quality for double the price?

I'd like to get the "Agile defender" quality (3X2 = 6 karma)

and a qi focus tattoo (Improved Stealth)

[Volker]

That's important for me, too.

Ah, and something else: In our group, we houseruled the availability rules. In addition to CHA+Negotiation we allow Matrix Search to crack Availability. The idea behind that is that already in 2016, if we look for special goods, we search the internet. In 2075, it would be even more like this. So, we allow both the personal way (CHA+Negotiation) and the electronic way (Matrix Search). What do you think? Shall we do the same?

If not: Can somebody (Krestov?) crack the Availability of following goods:
 - area jammer (AVA 10F)
 - Agent (AVA 15)
 - Fake SIN (AVA 15)

[Jack_Spade]

Buying positive qualities is no problem.

I wouldn't allow the matrix search to replace the Ava test, but I can see it as a supporting teamwork test.

[Sabato Kuroi]

I'll buy a Qi focus tattoo (Improved Ability 3 : Stealth) = 10 Karma ( discount from invisible way), 18.000 nuyen (I don't know how much I got , but I'm sure I have this kind of money)

And the Agile Defender Quality = 6 Karma


4 karma remaining

[Volker]

Buying positive qualities is no problem.

I wouldn't allow the matrix search to replace the Ava test, but I can see it as a supporting teamwork test.

So I can roll a Matrix Seach in order to Support e.g. Krestov's regular AVA roll?
Matrix search: 13d6t5 4
Matrix search: 13d6t5 3
Matrix search: 13d6t5 3

If Krestov would kindly roll to find my stuff, pleeeeeeze?

[hadaalia]

that feeling when everyone is buying fancy things like foci and quality and you're fresh out of chargen

@Jack, not that it's really pertinent to our current job, but how long till the full body armor Torrent and Slobbertooth commissioned gets finished being adjusted so that we can pick it up?
