Nah, stuff like that just happens unless I'm being jammed or something.  As for who I'm gonna call...  Let's go with highest loyalty first; I'll get ahold of Creidhne - free machine sprite (Connection 2/Loyalty 4) if you don't recall.

And yes, it will be a teamwork con, probably with Torley acting as the lead, Sammy will automatically give her fame bonus to Torley in addition to any dice she contributes, any one else trying to coordinate will need to post, otherwise you can stay silent and be entourage.

Oh, did I jump the gun on my IC posting? Sorry. Just...Sam wouldn't want the locals to get the first word in on a con. The key thing is to get people off-balance quickly; the rest is easy. :)

Regardless, if you need me to adjust my DP, just let me know. Though I am going to bed for the night now, so it'll have to wait eight hours or so... ;)

Clem will let the pros do their thing and follow their lead, talking only when she has to.

Con teamwork test (6d6.hits(5)=1)

Trying to decide whether or not it's worth it to buy off the glitch, given that it costs be 2 Edge to do it...

Yes you jumped the gun, you will get additional for your pool up to equal yourcon skill, based on their successes, plus 3 for Sammy's fame.

Ok, my con skill is 4, for anyone who's keeping score at home. Most of Sam's DP comes from other sources. ;D

I'll roll the extra 3-7 dice once the results are in, and then add them to my post.

I believe at this point, between Sammy and Fionn, we've got the four extra dice I'm allowed.

[spoiler]
Original: 13d6.hits(5)=5
With contributions: 7d6.hits(5)=2

Total of 7 hits, no glitches except for RHat's.
[/spoiler]

Reading through the RAW on teamwork tests (SR4A p.65), I'm not sure that RHat's glitch affects the results at all:
Quote
Sometimes characters may choose to work together on a task, whether they are holding the door against a rampaging paracritter or fixing a car. To determine success, pick one character as the primary acting character. Each of the secondary characters makes the appropriate test; each hit they score adds +1 die to the primary character’s dice pool. The primary character then makes the test, and her results determine success. The maximum dice bonus the primary character can receive from teamwork is equal to that character’s skill.

If any of the assisting characters roll a critical glitch, raise the threshold for the test by 1 (3 for Extended Tests).

There's text for critical glitches, but not regular ones. ???

I am waiting to find out if he is buying off the glitch, but you are right that it won't affect the test's success, I will just find another way to have my fun :)

For anyone who wants in on the joke, Sam's reference to "Dom" is to one of his contacts whose club provides "extra" services, including prostitutes. Sam's a bad man sometimes. :-[ :o ;D

Thvor, you go as far with her as you want to go, she is already eating it up and completely dropped the 'sassy waitress' act.  Give me a Con and an Ettiquette roll just so I an idea of how much info you will get.  and give me a visual perception roll while you are at it.

Not worth 2 edge to buy off that glitch if it won't impact our success.
