@Group:Only thing that should be added to that last point is that he'd be willing to purchase any gear we have that's not related to the mission, but we want to get rid of (extra weapons, old commlinks, etc.) at a rate of 25% their retail price.
Okay, so for my understanding's sake and so we are clear, I'm gonna review the terms and conditions that just happened for this run.
Terms: Upon completion of this run, Sunkid has agreed to compensate our efforts by:
- Granting us the gear found in the objective requested by us during our item-shopping, completely gratis
- Additionally furnish a decent quality control rig (decided last minute)
- Offer to purchase any equipment we recover during the operation not included in the objective at a rate of 25% retail
I think that about covers it...did I miss something?
Oh, I should give you guys a heads up. My 5th year anniversary is coming up this week, so I will be out of touch from this Thursday (25th) to Saturday (27th). If it's crucial, I trust you guys with Krestov completely :)Have fun and relax.
Slobbertooth would suggest to Torrent that the head of the hideout would probably be up on current events and would know that Scary Spice is dead
It was probably a disposable one
As you've probably heard by now, things are a little weird in Greece right now .
I'll try to keep up with you but I can make no promises.Feel free to play Torrent If the need arises.
Everyone may attempt an Int+Log roll for an additional hint/conclusion
Well, you get the same hint: Compare what was said in the autopsy with what is written in the black book.
And always remember the credo of the rationalist: "If I am confused at least one of my assumptions of the current problem must be wrong."
I totally haven't been distracted by Shadowrun Hong Kong, I promise.
That's what the perception test was for. We'll skip the surprise test. Succeeding with perception is enough.Ah, I had thought that the surprise check was what you did after you failed a perception test to see if you were ambushed.
Initiative (http://orokos.com/roll/335848): 1d6+8 14Going by my perception rolls you'll definitely be able to set up an ambush in the middle of a field, though. :P
So we all know what's going down.
Also, remind me to never piss off slobbertooth. first blood despite -10 initiative is nothing to sneeze at!
@Volker
You forgot to add Scary's INT, but yes he is surprised too. So he is at 12
Electronic equipment and drones can also be affect- ed by Electricity damage. They never suffer Stun dam- age so Electricity damage is Physical when used against electronics and drones. They resist damage as usual and suffer a secondary effect if they take even a single box of damage.
The secondary effect for electronics and drones damaged by Electricity damage is shorting out or over- loading. In game terms this is reflected as second- ary Matrix damage equal to half the Physical damage rounded down.
Vehicles can be damaged by Electricity attacks but do not suffer any secondary effects. Specific systems of ve- hicles can be targeted by a Called Shots (p. 195).
Like how I need to remember to use medkits the next time I take stun damage.
My recovery dice definitely bailed me out.Like how I need to remember to use medkits the next time I take stun damage.
Or accept the decker's request to help when she offers to patch you up :P I don't remember a lot, but I distinctly remember that.
Oh boy, the fight begins!I sincerely hope that those two giant dogs aren't also able to sling the mojo around.
Tell me, how does Geek the Mage First (tm) work when they are all mages?
Not quite:Slobbertooth has both, so it's really all academic in this case, but it is still another one of 5e's non-intuitive rules implementation.
Danger Sense gives you +1 to your surprise tests. Combat Sense guarantees that you get that surprise test. Makes no sense, but it's the rules :-\
Almost: Yin is the crazy, brutal bitch, slinging fire around. Yang is her laid back brother with skills around Manipulation and Health
You might guess who of those two is carrying the main load of their buff spells ::)
Which incidentally is also the reason for the relatively high defense stats in the matrix: LOG and WIL are rather high with those two.
Regarding resistance roll:
You are actually right. I misremembered Net Bind as an environmental spell (that has no resistance). It's actually just a physical spell. So not only can you use a complex action to break free vs. 2xForce, you are also entitled to a reflexive STR+BOD check vs. the 5 successes of the original spellcasting.
Sorry, that's what I get for posting at work without access to my books.
So everyone who got 5 successes at their check still has their complex action.
Well... Willpower and Logic probably wouldn't matter unless she had one of those fancy living personas.
Which I fully admit would be weird, and considering I previously said "hopefully the dogs can't cast spells" maybe I should refrain from giving the GM horrible suggestions.
If the result of the Opposed Test is a tie, the attack is considered a grazing hit. A grazing hit does not do any damage, but the attacker makes contact. This allows certain contract-only attacks (poisons, shock gloves, touch-only combat spells, etc.) to still do damage.
There is a difference between not being able to see well and not being able to defend ;)
Also you can roll 5d6 ini max. Physical Ini =/= Matrix Ini. You'd need a Coprocessor Module from Datatrails to get the 5th dice.
Since Torrent is ambushing the human bitch, Scary targets the animal bitch:
Shoot (http://orokos.com/roll/352798): 14d6t5 3
I think she meant dog number two?Since Torrent is ambushing the human bitch, Scary targets the animal bitch:

Well, from my side, there will be a hiatus - both IP and OP
March 2016 will be the earliest, I'll start a new story.
60.000 ¥
I'm going to spend a good chunk of these for a new Chameleon Suit and a Ballistic Mask because I want to look like this :
(http://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/borderlands-2/thumb/c/cd/Dark_Night.jpg/228px-Dark_Night.jpg)
-Chameleon Suit + Ynt Softweave (total Capacity 13) + Ruthenium Polymer Coating (Rating 4)
with Fire resistance 3 , Nonconductivity 3, Thermal Damping 3, Quick Draw Holster = 26,575 ¥ , Availiability 14R
(assuming I can find Ruthenium Polymer Coating: Availiability 16F)
-Ballistic Mask with Smartlink,Image Link, Vision Magnification, Thermographic Vision,Commlink(bought separately *),Trodes,Micro Transeiver (I wanted more things but availiability skyrockets if I put YNT Softweave and vision enhancements) : Availiability 18R, cost 3.025 ¥
-*Commlink : Transys Avalon = 5.000 ¥
-Executive suit + YNT Sofltweave with Thermal Damping 2, Concealed Holster :5.150 ¥ ,Availiability 16
Total Cost 39,.750 ¥
I'll spend some for rent and some more for Ammo.
You get all your pretty toys. Although Torrent might want to invest into a ruthenium polymer poncho from Hard Targets.
Stuff the team needs to decide onI'd keep the commlink. At some point or another a spare commlink comes in handy. You need to make an anonymous phone call or something. You wanna go to a meeting without carrying your personal data with you. Stuff like that.
- The spare Rating 5 commlink: Does anyone need a spare? I think we all have better commlinks at this point.
- The vans: Do we need two? If not, which one are we selling.
Question for the GM
Oh, and important ground rule with the new pup. Until it's trained and friendly with the team, it is not to be left alone with bnc. It's a Tibetan Mastiff (http://xiddu.weebly.com/uploads/4/8/6/4/4864784/136507626.jpg), and I'm pretty sure it at least weighs more than her.
So with our Rigger's approval, I'll also have the team's preferred contact move to sell our GMC Bulldog (valued at 35,000¥) and we can keep the Triad's fancy Black Rover 2072.
I haven't decided yet about my Karma and how to spend it
Maybe you should recruit a third mage slinger into your group - that way you could found a circle to discount your initiations ;D
The side quest "Sins of the fathers" will start some time after next monday. Until than I'd ask you, SquirrelDude to send me per PM a summary of all relevant Details you want to have included about your parents. Everything else I'll make up.
Alpha grade synaptic boosters, second generation go for 228.000. Add a nice control rig II also alpha grade for 116.400. Not to forget the Sleeping Tiger outfit, the Full Body Armor, some magic stuff, we come to round about 400.000 for your team.
So, if I'm not mistaken, we don't get anything from the 400.000 in cash since our equipment is the payment. But we do have some magical stuff, weapons and so on to fence. How much is that worth?The full list of things that we need to fence, including the magical items that were grabbed off the mages.

Wait, trolls pay 100% more? Aww, the poor guys.Fair, I don't have the energy to argue this point. I had thought we figured all this out before Pain & Gain. Besides, weren't we paying rent based on Middle Lifestyle? Or did we upgrade and I just miss it?
How you split your rent is not my concern ::)
Fact is a troll roommate will have to pay the base price again, not his share. It's the whole flat that has to be troll compatible after all - unless you guys plan to build a house from scratch. Then I'd allow you to only have a quarter of the house be troll sized.
all right
Since Torrent is our face, will you do the fencing stuff, Sabato?
What do you think, boys? Should we mount the heavy SMG from Deep Black Sea to our new car?
@GM
could I possibly try and complete an Initiatory ordeal in order to reduce the karma cost ? (-10%)
thanks!Damn. It's slightly less than Torrent and Slob, but still very impressive. What are its defense and soak dice pools?
ad 2: ah, okay. I don't know the rules on this. Gotta check 'em up.
ad 3: Okay. Did I mention that Jumped In, I'd have 4d6+10 ini and 15 dice in ranged?
ad 4: It would be in addition to and not instead of bnc. ^^Well then it's not my call. I wouldn't mind, but I'm not sure who would be playing the new character unless you suddenly went from "not sure if continuing" to "I'll play two characters."
And so with Torrent Going full bore into getting a new power point, Slobbertooth will get himself a tattoo.So with talk of a mage character in the party, I'll hold off on getting the Qi Focus (Astral Perception) Tattoo and putting the two points into assensing. It won't take that long to obtain either when I do get them.
So with that in mind, I hope you mind if I take 12,000 out of the mission pot to get us the ability to assense anything.
A Qi focus of Astral Perception (since we want assensing) should be...
Forcex2 Kharma, Force = ppcost x4, Forcex3000 Nuyen, Force x3R.
Force = 1x4 = 4.
Eight Kharma to bind
12,000 Nuyen
12R Availability
21 Kharma to Spend
I'll go ahead and devote two points getting a rank in Animal Handling. - 3 days
I'll put down seven points for Automatics specialization (Assault Rifle) - 1 month
I'll put down two points for a rank in Heavy Weapons for the new grenade launcher. - 1 day
Eight points were spent on the Qi Focus
And then finally two points for a rank in Assensing. - 1 day
That is 21 Kharma spent.
Is that already agreed on? I thought we'd just have delayed this questions.If Torrent didn't get one, Slobbertooth was getting one.
unless you've bugged the whole team ;)
I don't think it would be much of a hassle. Usually (not always though) I have either a lot of time or no time at all. That's why sometimes I'm not able to put up a post for days, and then you get a textwall with pseudo-clever bnc thoughts ;-)Kazuya Armstrong. Slob's primary contact and fixer in the 6th world
So yes, I think I could play a second character. If you want, of course, you can first ask other players whether they want to join, but I'd be happy to introduce MacC. Yes, it is per accident that both characters end with c.
Something else; I'm not sure who do you mean by "K"? I guess you don't mean Krestov, since he's not absent. So who exactly is bnc to write?
The Ares Alphas are easy: Those go for 75% of the original price (before the blackmarket adjustment)
The Lasers are really hard to flog without getting heat from Ares. They are worth each 50.000, but you'll need to search long and hard for a discreet buyer. If you want quick cash you'll have to contend with half the normal black market price (usually 5%*Loyalty of your contact).
The HMG Ruhrmetal is worth 22.000 with all accessories - but you might want to keep that for when bnc becomes a kick-ass rigger
I'll look for the details later.
The Fullbody armor is currently worth about 25.000 but also not easy to sell.
@SgtCaseless ammuntion does require a clip/magazine so that it can be fed into the rifle. I don't think they've developed an efficient method for ammunition to teleport into the barrel of a weapon yet. Caseless simply means that the bullet is surrounded by the propellant instead of the propellant being sealed behind the bullet in a case like a standard cartirdge.
I'm actually Volker, or Dominik. bnc's just a character of mine :-)
@Squirrel
Thanks. I corrected the post. I'm not much of an expert in terms of weapons. Does caseless ammo use clips at all? If no, there are no Ares Alpha clips ^^
What? No way, we can't wait 20 minutes. By then, Lonestar will be here. There is blood, and quite an amount of it. There are a decker, a troll, an elf and an ork, all with loads of 'ware and other illegal stuff, there are neighbors who might describe what had happened, there are security drones which might have recorded the incident and so on and on and on. I say, we take that boat and get the hell out of here like ASAP.Yes, I meant give.
@Squirrel Sorry, on occasions I realize I'm non-native. Or do you mean "give a helping hand"? In this case, I'm just an idiot ^^
She digs shadowrunner datahavens for good riggers and class-A deckers.But that's not the reason for my absence. I wasn't at home for a week. I'm back to town now. Tomorrow, I'll try and post something clever. If I can.
Did you play the Shadows of Hong Kong mini campaign?Is that out? I need to play that. Been looking for something to take my mind of Blood Bowl 2 and it's horseshit matchmaker.
There's a quest taking place inside an underwater lab..... :)
Yeah,as a backer I got the hong kong rulebook pdf as well.I desperately need to find the time to study it!Cursed exams!Did you play the Shadows of Hong Kong mini campaign?Is that out? I need to play that. Been looking for something to take my mind of Blood Bowl 2 and it's horseshit matchmaker.

I am in the midst of it, but no, this was not my inspiration.
That was actually Deus Ex ;D
By the way: You are at the moment at May 27th 2075. Next Friday is the 31st.
You have enough time to visit the garages before that.
Nah, the house doesn't hack - quite the opposite. But you are in luck that you thought to turn off all your wireless devices. Otherwise the house would have tried to get a lock on you with EW so that the drones would get more dice to shoot you.

Problem is: My drone doesn't have stick'n'shock. It's loaded with gel, because Slob wanted him alive -.-Stick'n'shock deals stun damage, it just also deals elemental (electrical) damage.
Frigg:"Fuck you then. HOUSE: FIRE WATER BURN." And she threw the commlink at Slobbertooth's face.
The moment she had spoken that sentence, loud popping noises could be heard throughout the house. Immediately the air started to smell of aviation fuel as a fine mist sprayed from the ventilation ducts.
I just realized I never asked: Is there a lass among you?If there is one, it is not I.
I have started designing the floor plan for our new place. It will probably take a while because I am very picky about these things.How wide should the doors be to account for Krestov?
Well, you could post that you are posting an ad in some shadow fora ;)Normally I would, but I we also have additional items that could be used to decrease initial buy-in and promote a more long-term relationship, like the 100k Nuyen bobble, and the prospect of splitting the cost of a Security 6 high lifestyle 5 ways with the team.
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.
If not: Can somebody (Krestov?) crack the Availability of following goods:
- area jammer (AVA 10F)
- Agent (AVA 15)
- Fake SIN (AVA 15)
So I can roll a Matrix Seach in order to Support e.g. Krestov's regular AVA roll?
Matrix search (http://orokos.com/roll/399993): 13d6t5 4
Matrix search (http://orokos.com/roll/399994): 13d6t5 3
Matrix search (http://orokos.com/roll/399995): 13d6t5 3
If Krestov would kindly roll to find my stuff, pleeeeeeze? :)
Ok guys and gal,
we seem to have a slump in communication. I'd like to push the story to its finale, but that will be a bit tough with only two participants.
Therefore I'll enact my GM privilege of taking control all characters that haven't been posted for in the last week.
& We have a 100,000k nuyen bobble on our hands that we can't use, and lets two awakened assassins easily track us.
Also, in no small part to my lack of posting and contribution to this last phase of the run, with your blessing, I'd like to impart my karma to the rest of the group. They carried this last leg and deserve it :);D If Jack OKs this then my character advancement is pretty easy.
Also... @Squirreldude:Here is my understanding of magical defenses in Shadowrun 5e. "Some barriers only let magic through, and some only let physical objects through." I don't know if she's completed masking it, or if she needs to continue masking it, or whatever. I just assume the worst case scenario.& We have a 100,000k nuyen bobble on our hands that we can't use, and lets two awakened assassins easily track us.
Unless we're retconning out Bluebird's actions (not my call), I do recall she had invested some starter karma into bonding with that thing already...which broke that bond for tracking purposes?
@SabatoI'm amazed you all sticked around this long tbh.
Sure, welcome back. This run was an optional side mission tailored around Slobbertooth - so it is excusable for the others to be less involved.
My main aim is to ensure everyone is having fun playing his character (and getting to know the intricacies of the SR 5 rules ;)
