@Mal: Your IC post says, "He relays his thoughts to the team". Is Ohanzee sharing details of his thinking or just the fact that he's had an epiphany? I'm trying to figure out how much Katsina can respond to.
Sorry, it was my shorthand so I didn't have to retype his whole thought process. Assume anything that happened in the astral and in his head up to that point in the post is IC knowledge for the team, at least in broad strokes.
Tests, if I'm understanding them correctly:
1. Assensing - you can assense the artifact with a normal roll
2. Touching - you can roll Perception (Touch) if you want
3. Spellcasting - you can cast Mind Net if that is your intent
1. Yes, basically, but this might qualify as an extended test as he intends to spend at least a few minutes, perhaps as much as an hour, examining it.
2. This is mostly to see if the artifact has some touch effect, but also for a more involved physical examination (all previous examinations took pains to not come in contact with the object and therefore might have had limited access to certain portions of it). This would be a follow on to the physical examination mentioned for step one.
3. Yes, exactly.
Rolls inc:
Assensing Artifact [Intuition 4 + Assensing 4 - Wounds 1]:
7d6t5 3 - let me know if I can gain any bonus or additional rolls for spending additional time on the examination
Perception on Artifact [Perception 3 + Intuition 4 - Wounds 1]:
6d6t5 3 - same as above
Casting Mindnet, Extended (force 1, using centering) [Magic 6 + Spellcasting 5 + Power Focus 2 - Wounds 1]:
12d6t5 4 Limit is 1
Resist Drain [WIL 6 + CHA 6 + Centering 1]:
13d6t5 3 vs. 2 drain, so no damage taken.
Very nice job on the shopping list. We can retcon the physical credsticks but not the cred transfers because Katsina doesn't have enough to cover the clothes shopping prior to Ace finding his credstick. (And said credstick isn't public knowledge yet.)
I did not account for the cost of clothing at the time. I had 680¥ on my credstick and expected to spend at leat 600¥ of it, so I have no problem giving them the whole thing, but my contribution towards clothing and party shared items will be minor at best. So he would have declined clothing if it wasn't being covered. The discovery of Ace's credstick might change that if Ace is being generous, but the plan really is still for Ohanzee to not leave the house unless fecal matter meets fan, so while a change of clothes would be nice, I don't think it is mission critical for him.
Medkits were on the shopping list too, or resupplies for the current medkits. If the team wants a new medkit then we'll have to pick a rating.
Updating now.
As people hear Ohanzee's suggestion to purchase an MCT Fly-Spy, everyone realizes that they have Pilot Aircraft 0.
Good news: Fly-Spies (or a locally produced competitor) and other non-restricted drones are 20% off due to PCC's position as a market leader in tech and electronics.
Bad news: A Fly-Spy does not have the range to fly 50km round-trip through the mountains in winter weather conditions. Even if it did, the Noise and Static Zone modifiers would be off the charts (10+).
Bleah and double bleah. It could still be useful for things besides Gloria's body and it has a pilot of 3 for 6 dice on its own, so as long as we don't make it do anything tricky, we should be good. But that's up to the folks that have money.
