One small aesthetic request....can you please start puttin OOC comments in italics?  It's real easy, just hit ctrl-i and you get it.  It just distinguishes the actual narration IC text better and I just like it more!  Thanks!

Oh, and all debuffs are now gone.

Actually, ctrl+i in Firefox opens up the bookmark menu.

Well, i'm using firefox and when my cursor is clicked into the text box for posting and I hit ctrl-i it gives me the little italics brackets.  Try doing it with you cursor clicked into the dialogue box and it's blinking.

Hey Inca I sent you a PM with questions read it and hit me back so I can know what you want to do.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Inca, the spirit search power is detailed on p.297 SR4A.

Type:P Action: complex Range:special: Duration:special
The being may seek any person, place, or object. To find the target the creature makes a Magic + intuition test (5,10 minutes) Extended test. Apply the dice pool modifiers from the search modifiers table. The critter must have seen what it is searching for before; spirits may search out anything that their summoner provides a mental image of. Critters with the astral form power may use search in astral space and do not have to materialize while searching. (modifiers listed below.)

basically for a watcher it would be (magic1+int1=2dp)x5 minutes=? for the search test hits to find Brick would depend on your call. Until this part is resolved I'm going to wait to roll because the spirit could cut down the time I'm searching to find my way back to the group by hours even with the time between each test being 30 minutes. I'll keep my DP to track (int3+outdoors2= 5dp) my way back on standby till this gets figured out.

aehm...
is this alive?
or had UB finaly meet its doom?
Inca? You still with us?

[inca1980]

@Sichr:
uhmmm?  yeah, we just had an instense fight....and were just now discussing how to find Brick...so the activity level seemed about average to me.  UB going strong though no worries. 

@Thermo:

Drain is number of hits you make you on your test...which translates to hours watcher is alive.  It doesn't really say this in RAW, but i'll allow you to discard hits/hours if you don't want them.

So I"ll roll the Magic 1 + Intuition 1 (5, 10 min) extended test for your watcher.

Watcher's Search: (2d6.hits(5)=0, 2d6.hits(5)=0, 2d6.hits(5)=0, 2d6.hits(5)=1, 2d6.hits(5)=1).  2 hits
Watcher's Search: (2d6.hits(5)=0, 2d6.hits(5)=0, 2d6.hits(5)=1, 2d6.hits(5)=0, 2d6.hits(5)=0).  1 hit
Watcher's Search: (2d6.hits(5)=1, 2d6.hits(5)=2, 2d6.hits(5)=1, 2d6.hits(5)=1, 2d6.hits(5)=0). 

Finds Brick after 12 rolls.  So that's 120 minutes, or two hours. 

If anyone, Brick included wants to make the tracking test I called for then you can try to cut down your time.  I changed the interval, so it's a Tracking + Intuition (8, 30 min) extended test. 

Beast Spirit's Search:  Search for Max: (10d6.hits(5)=7, 10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=1, 10d6.hits(5)=3).  After only 20 min. the beast spirit finds max.  By the time Max is back with you we'll say 30 min. have passed.  You have 3 services left with your Beast Spirit.

IDN...since Brick started to run in the moment combat ended, I hope we were able to react on his run away. I dont want to stop him, impossible, but Id like to send dragonfly to follow him...unless it is impossible for the drone to do so, IDN the speed it is able to fly is enought...

[Thermo]

he's out of signal range, I'd suggest keeping your Dragonfly close at hand so it can watch over the makeshift camp while we rest and heal.

[Sichr]

We dont know this...since we are maintaining radio silence, which means Signal 0 = signal range 3 meters. But Dragonfly is able to find its way back through to GPS...Even Brick should be able to do so if with GPS coordinates of his PAN node...if he has a map and is able to navigate at least a bit

[Thermo]

true, we don't know that. I'm sending out the beast spirit to hunt for him (in addition to the watcher spirit already looking), if you can get him back here sooner then all the better. I'm keeping Max at our current location to protect Thunderhead while he meditates and heals stun damage from the watcher spirit. Can't really leave as a group to hunt for him since we've got this big walker mech full of beans to deal with 

[Teyl_Iliar]

thermo, since you're sending the wold spirit back out to find me after like 30 minutes follow Inca's rolls for doing another search test. I'm going to attempt to start back tracking my way to you guys but my luck with the dice hasn't given me much faith that 5 dice are going to get me back to you within 1 hour.

Edit: So justified on that lack of faith. 4 rolls later and I'm still 1 hit away. Since at this point that watcher would have found me I'm going to stop rolling now. Once the wolf spirit does it's tracking rolls we'll see what would have found me first, and how soon. I'll edit and fill in my IC post accordingly then and just do a bit now so we can get underway as a team without specifying more than an hour's worth of time elapsed.

[Thermo]

Spirit searching for Brick (10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=2)

Spirit finds Brick in 20 minutes, brings him back a bit later. Total time between the two searches should be around an hour and a quarter, enough time for Thunder to rest up and purge the area astrally.

[Sichr]

Inca, is there encounter planned or would I be able to make a halt, based on that informations on drones flamboyance, so we can talk about changes of formation? If there is an encouinter, we will deal with that afterwards (if still alive ), no problem. I just didnt realized that no matter how silent are we, the drone is like beacon around here...

[inca1980]

Sorry for the delay, was pretty busy.  Gonna be in town and quite free for the holidays though so hopefully we can take advantage of a more active posting schedule on my part!

Merry Christmas everyone!  5 points of Karma which you can use right away is my holiday present to everyone!!  Don't worry about rolling training or learning ....paying for spell formulas....it's a christmas present.
