I'm so sorry gradivus, my condolences and we're gonna be mainly prepping for finding and taking down Oakley so you shouldn't miss much.

Ok, I imagine it's time for shopping.

Xem's shopping list
Ceska Black Scorpion Machine Pistol     270.00   6R
+Extra Clip                                                5.00
+60 rounds regular ammo                     120.00   2R
Metalink Comm                                      100.00   2

Total:                                                     495.00

Looking for a Ceska Scorpion (Cha 4 + Negotiate 2 + Spec in Bargaining 2): 8d6t5 4
Resist being found (Avail 6R): 6d6t5 1

Should I make a separate roll for the ammo or assume I bought them both from the same source?
Aw, hell with it. I'm bored, so I'll roll.

Metalinks are for sale at stuffershack, so that doesn't need a roll.

So, I feel like I'm done with shopping, and once I get word from the GM that it's all good, I'll go ahead and make an IC post, detailing Xem's day spent shopping.

Rat will simply go for an armour vest, which goes for the full ¥500. I'll assume everyone is shopping together since nobody has a credstick to separate the funds with, so if a roll needs to be made, I'll let a character with a better chance to make it do it

Xem has a credstick.

Also, I dont think you'll need to roll for a vest, as it's not restricted.

[rednblack]

Chaim's going to get an Armored Vest as well. 

[inca1980]

You guys can part ways now if you so choose and spend the rest of the day shopping if you wish.  We'll say you reconvene at night right outside the Isle-of-View apartments so end your IC with that.

Ok, so I'm dumb and just now noticed that this thing holds 35 in a clip, not 30, so I'll need another 10 bullets for 2 full clips. This will cost Xem an extra 20 nuyen, which he doesn't have. Including the ten he's got on him, he'll still be five short. Now, he'll be buying the hardware from his fixer contact, Mario Caldone whose loyalty rating is a 5. Think he might do 5 bucks off?

Also, as per the Favors table on page 389 of the main book, think Xem might be able to talk Mario into loaning him a vest? I mean, he sees the kid strappin up and he knows he aint got no armor. Maybe this time, he'll bend a bit and loan the kid an old sum sum he's got layin around? Xem'll bring it right back when he's done, y'know?

EDIT: Sorry to keep going with this, but as per the networking section on page 388, think Mario might be willing to introduce Xem to a talismonger? One who knows how to keep his mouth shut?

[inca1980]

@Xem:

Let me roll a networking test for Mario Caldone against a target NPC Talismonger connection of 3.  13d6t5: 6 [13d6t5=3, 6, 1, 3, 6, 3, 6, 6, 5, 3, 4, 3, 6].  He can give you a name.  In terms of the vest, it's a possibility.  IC your request to Mario and Roll Negotiation + Cha [social].

Hit up Mario for a vest (Cha 4 + Negotiate 2): 6d6t5 1

heh, not great. i was gonna do the whole thing in IC, all in one post once I know how it goes.

EDIT: Whoops! i shoulda taken +2 cause he's friendly, +1 cause the outcome is advantageous to him (His friend Xem has a better chance of surviving)

3 whoops dice: 3d6t5 1

Ok, so still not great, but it's 2 hits.

[rednblack]

I'll get an IC up soon.  Still figuring how I want to play it.  In the meantime, I'd like to make some Knowledge Tests.

Gangs: Cutters (Chaim recognize any cutters?: 11d6t5 4
Does Chaim recognize any of the crew besides Oakley?  Has he seen them around anywhere?

Area Knowledge: Jungle (Good waylay spots near Cutter hangouts?: 11d6t5 5
I'm thinking of good alleys by where some of the cutters are known to drink/get high/whatever.  Apartments with roof access would also work for what Chaim has in mind.

We should make these as teamwork tests. Xem has 9 dice on the subject as well.

Teamwork test (Int 5 + Gangs 2 + Spec:Cutters 2): 9d6t5 5

Teamwork test (Int 5 + Gangs 2 + Spec:Cutters 2): 9d6t5 5

HOLY MAJOLY those are some rolls. So, IF we're doing this as a teamwork test, there's five extra dice for ya on each.

I was gone all weekend, putting up an IC post or later today!

I'll have one up shortly after I learn whether Xem is borrowing the vest or not.
