Hmm, I'm good either way with regards to run type. Might not be a bad idea to do one or two shorter runs to get into the swing of things, build momentum and so on.
I think running a practice/trial/milk run first would be a good idea. It's not really that unblievable. Sometimes someone just needs something simple done :p. Of course, it's not always really so simple...
A milk run makes sense to start with. Baba Yaga would want to start her daughter off on something easy, make sure she can handle herself before taking her on a harder run.
Is everyone cool with everyone elses characters? Did Baba Yaga need to spend any money on gear for Athena? Lets tighten up these few last things and then we can get going.

ok, i think im gonna start the IC thread AT the meet with the johnson. It's a truckstop just off I10 at 11:00. Dixie Sisters Gang territory. One67 hooked up the meet, so you're about 99% certain it isn't a setup. Before i can get to writing, I need to know how everyone got to the meet, if you all came together, and what everyone brought.
Also, Francis needs a handle.
Perception Rolls: By my count I get +4 on this (2 specialization, 2 vision enhancement) or did you mean I get an additional +3? Is Baba specifically looking for something? I'll roll with that assumption, and if I'm wrong, just disregard the last few dice on the roll.
Cool. One last thing, Reyjinn, i cant seem to find it. How long did we say it'd been since the Urn run for dr marques? Also, just in case you'd forgotten, (i had for a minute there) You're still getting half off bills from the doc if you took that payment option. I've decided that that IS gonna include chrome, but will only give ya 15% off on that. I winged it and decided that 30% of the cost of ware is the surgery to instal it and she's willing to give ya half off that. Also, considering the time that's passed since then, how close would that put Francis to the hearing where his visitation rights are renegotiated?

So Baba has been there for an hour scoping the place out. Was the taxi already there, or did she see it pull up? Also, she would have been watching the people coming up to get gas as well, making sure nobody is sticking around too long or seems to keep coming back. If the taxi has been there the entire time, then anybody in that line could potentially be working for the johnson in her mind, and even if she watches the johnson pull up, they still might get rowdy. If a fight breaks out, she wouldn't want to get dragged into it.

the taxi has been there the whole time.
no one has gotten into or out of it.
and with that many hits on the roll, you feel certain that no one is leaving and coming back to the place. You're 99% sure that this is just a regular ole night for everyone around, except for you and the man in the taxi.
"Well hello there sweetheart, what’s a girl like you doin’ all by her lonesome in a place like this?"I'm also assuming Baba will at best scoff at Francis for jokingly opening their conversation with the above phrase. That might possibly be followed by a remark about how the kid has gotten Baba all wound up and that she needs to be frosty.

seems i forgot this.
You can't move forward seamlessly until you tie up some loose ends. Synchronously, today's void-of-course Moon is a stellar time to do just that very thing. Tonight's Pisces Moon aspecting Venus is a combination resonating with the light of love, or at least the opportunity.
Edit: Is there any danger of being "pulled over" en route from zippy's to the truck stop? I'm not sure how well traffic laws are upheld in shadowrun. Although in a shady area like this, it probably doesnt matter, eh?
Well I'm not too familiar with the road rules. I know these types of areas have a low level of response time. I didn't know if that also meant they weren't really patrolled or not.
Also, the wall safe thing. I guess I took a liberty there. The place was extra secure, so I thought it wouldn't be too much of a stretch that it might have a nifty feature like that. If ya don't like it, then I can just make it so they're mounted in the wall somewhere with pegs or something like that. There's not really anything more to it than I described though. Its just a portion of the wall that slides down. There's no locks, and its not reinforced like a safe. If someone found the spot somehow, they could probably break it open without too much hassle.
I didn't finish the post making it to the meet because I didn't know if you wanted me to make a navigation test or something to see if I made it on time or not.

Suuucks. Ill use a point of edge if I need to roll and that's not good enough :p.
Baba is just going to waltz in looking for the Johnson. Do I need to roll anything? Do my previous perception checks still apply?
If the Johnson doesn't try to stop her from picking up the commlink and reading the details, Baba will share the contents with the group. I imagine Hornet is gonna do some talking once we get some real info to work with.
So what is he actually asking for? Can you translate for the Johnson, because I honestly have no idea what's being requested right now. Does he want us to burn a house down?Indeed he does. And you'd know "Trap house" refers to a near open door residence where hardcore drugs are sold and used. and that he wants it gone by 5am.
So there's probably people in it, and they're probably not going to be too keen about being burned along with the house.
I'm good either way. Pros/cons just about balance out IMO.

Also, from the info on the commlink what does Francis know about that trap house? Is it on Dixie turf? If not then where?
easily.
I'm gonna pause here, as i dont want Ryo and I to move things along TOO far before anyone else can even respond. I suspect he/she and I are in the same time zone, due to when we usually post, and i know reyjinn is in iceland, so he/she's probably sleeping right now. I have no idea where laereth and Kosh are, but i dont wanna penalize people for working, sleeping, goofing off, etc, y'know?9pm in the land of fire and ice :) writing up a keep it moving post as we speak

Rest of you guys, should we turn the screws on this joker to find out what the deal is with that house?
I'm trying to do a shadow community to roll see if Zippy had heard any rumors in the area, but dice roller is acting up..I'll add the roll when I can figure out how to log back in x.x.

So, yea. He's just thinking back to see if he'd heard anything in the streets or read anything on the net that might involve this area or this house. Being it wasn't a physical action, I didn't apply any penalty for interacting with AR. I hit my mental limit of 5 with that roll.
Edit: Here's a navigation roll if I need it to find the best routes to approach the house. I hit my limit again. I know ya didn't ask for one. I thought maybe being it was a mission you might want one, if you prefer I can just wait til you ask in the future.

Straight up fastest, and also the Least likely to be found out by enemies. Also an escape route that would keep us out the most hairy areas, or just the fastest way to get the hell out and get to where we need to go after we light the house up.
Preferably, I'd like to find a spot where we can stash Taco relatively safely nearby, or at least a spot we can roll up to and unload near the house without being detected (if possible). If leaving Taco unattended is a bad idea, I'd like to try and find a spot I could send Taco to on autopilot that's near enough to extract but secure enough to be safe. If nothing else, I suppose I can set him to drive around the nearby roads waiting on us.
ok, lets talk about the ghetto.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.2927163,-81.6460002,16z?hl=en
everything north of emerson, west of phillips highway, and south of river oaks is as hood as hood gets. This is the kinda place where no one has a gun cause they already sold it for dope. no one has a link unless they're on BTLs, no one has a car unless it's their house. most of the homes are squats with no real doors or electricity. most of the roads are blocked in a new way each and every day as trash, cars, wreckage, and people move around the place. There's really no place you can stash a vehicle on the fly that wont get seen and fucked with.
Now, phillips highway is clear and well maintained, but that means its also patrolled by lonestar. Not only that, but phillips highway IS the eastern edge of KF turf, so the cops on that patrol are exceptionally on edge for threats and people that look out of place. Now, once ya get far enough south to hit university or far enough east to hit beach blvd, you should be homefree, but getting in or out with a vehicle is GOING to get noticed by someone. The hood is just too deep, too tight, too insular. And if the vehicle looks out of place, it will get reported to someone.

Huh, iirc Francis lives somewhere in that area, that might need to change if it is THAT bad
Ok. It sounds like depending on where the house is located, we need to find somewhere to park the car and finish on foot then. What do you guys think? St Augustine, Emerson, and atlantic seem like they might be possibilities. I mean, I'm totally down for drivin through an obstacle course. It might get hot, though. I have enough seating for the crew, and I should have plenty of trunk space. I imagine the entirity of my gear in the trunkis about a large backpack sized with a shotgun and a rifle.
If we're going to take the car in, we'll need to be fast. We'll need to get in, drive the occupants out, light it up, and roll out. I imagine that I'll spend some edge at this point :p.
Oops. I looked at the house, but I forgot the address. Haha, sorry. What does the area on the other side of phillips look like where St Augustine crosses over?As you head north, that close to the bridge, it starts to get real corporate in a hurry, especially ON the road. The city likes to portray a nice veneer to visitors, so they try to keep a good front up near all the bridges.
That may be the way to go if we can get paid parking or something that isn't going to get towed from an hour or two of being parked. What's the HTR response time in West side? We'll need to know our window of opportunity from when the flames (or shooting) starts.
Actually, would Baba know a safehouse we could lay low in for a day or two? If so, I could drive us to a safe spot and we could hole up somewhere until we can make a low profile exit.
Posted. Notifications are still out for me and trying to keep an eye on it. In Vancouver right now. it is 12:37pm.
I can go in in astrally with a low level fire spirit and have him manifest and light the place up. From there any one can just run up and shout fire to get people leaving. Might be pretty simple.
Anyone have problems with that plan?Quote from: Johnson"Look, I wasn't lookin fer no fuckin' bullshit here. We got a deal or what?"Francis looks perfectly at ease in his corner of the booth, "Settle down, we’re just making sure that we got all our ducks in a row. Like you said yourself, the house is in Krubb territory and you don’t fuck around there without giving it careful thought. Now the question is if you want to tell us what is really going on with that house, because it sure as hell isn’t just your average traphouse, ya dig?"

Poindexter, can I roll intimidation(interrogation) to try and pump some info out of this guy?
As an excuse for this blatant meta gaming I'll couch it in the fact that Francis queries the team through the comm before going for the attack :D

holding off on the post until the others have had time to chime in.
I dunno if intimidation is the right call. If he's spooked, then getting scarier will just make him bolt. I was going to suggest taking the job, and then talking him into being upfront about things. I imagine that'd be etiquette or negotiation.
We could negotiate on that point, then. We know Zippy has cram. Accept the job, then offer to give him a hit of cram if he gives us the full info.Personally I don't see why he wouldn't just bugger off and get his own cram since he obviously doesn't like spending his time with us fine folks.

Did we get a description of the house? Are we assuming the same house as in the google map, so timber and nicely flammable? Could we even get demo charges to level the house if we wanted with this short of a notice?
Also, Poindexter, did you use the intim or neg roll? Just want to know for the edge bookkeeping on my end.
Yup, caps are not a positive sign :)
If it is the house from the pic and is a drug factory there are almost certainly some nice chemicals there that react merrily when exposed to fire. Sufficiently ruining the house I think will not be our biggest problem. Unless I misunderstood we don't need the house absolutely leveled before 5 am, as long as it is a raging inferno by that time we should be good.
Again. Astrally with an elemental is pretty low risk and we can do tons. Are we at the planning stage now?
I can control it while astral. They are dual natured when manifesting.

Yeah, she probably knows a place. Let's see what poindexter says.
I've never been to a gas station that did not sell a jerry can. We could just pick a couple up.
I think I've gone about as far as I can go for now :p. I probably coulda just waited for someone else, I didn't really add much.
By the way, what's our timer at now, PD? We started with I believe almost 6 hours. We've gone from the truck stop to a convenience store for gas cans and gas, and then to Francis' house to load up. I believe he lives near the area doesn't he?

As for the guns, Twine does not appear to be armed. The other ork has something big, either a heavy pistol or a small SMG in his jacket.
You'd know without the rolls that Krubbs usually speak Or'zet. What language were you speaking when you first spoke?
In this RARE instance, gimme a roll on the skill, will ya? If you end up with fewer hits than you could buy, we'll just count it as bought hits instead. no glitch possible.
I normally will NOT force people to make language rolls, but in this case, how well you get the local dialect matters a great deal in how Twine reacts to you.
Hey guys. I probably won't get anything posted tomorrow. I'm not sure if I said anything yet, but Saturday is the one day I usually don't do any posting except maybe a quick OOC. I do read every day, so if ya need to know anything from me I'll be able to get back to ya.
So just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, Twine is saying that he wants to keep the house to himself, and make a deal with the dixies to not burn it down?
I thought he wanted to kill the guy inside?
As for the astral thing, you can't hear words and stuff while projecting unless you manifest. On the astral, you just get the emotive content of what is being said without hearing what they're actually talking about.

All he wants from you is the address of the dopehouse, and a way to contact your johnson. You assume he wants to find out who the hell is behind all the shady dealing in his turf and deal with them himself, probably via torture and/or murder. Not that you care so much about some gangers fate, but it WOULD cast a negative light on One67, and his connections rating would probably go down, as might your reputation, depending on how it gets spun.
Why does he need the address? She told Camm the address when she was asking if it was cool to do a run against that house, and I assume Camm mentioned that address when he was asking if that house was Krubb owned or not. Wouldn't Twine already know what house it is?
I imagine the guy Twine wants dead is a guy that is working for the Dixies, and they want to burn the house down to hide evidence of that. Thing is, the Dixie Johnson never told us anything about this guy, or even mentioned him at all. If Twine says he wants the guy dead, Baba will kill him. If the Dixies get pissed at that, it's their fault for not being forthcoming on the specifics of the job.
1- i went back and looked and i think you only told him it was on st augustine and it was in their territory. If he were to go down into the hood himself, it probably wouldnt take long for him to find the place, but he'd prefer not to do that. Twine WILL figure it out and soon one way or another. And when he does, he's gonna want the evidence in there that you've been sent to burn.
2- the Johnson you're working for at the moment was DEFINITELY dixie, and from how nervous he was, it seems quite likely that HE was the dixie contact of whichever krubb is trying to go solo. And once Twine figures out who that krubb is, he'll wanna handle it on his own.
@laereth, i dont think you can hear the physical world, while in the astral.
Am i wrong?

It does not say. Open to your interpretation. It could be I can assense to find the nature of the content or something like.
Np. I was really only keeping an eye on things. Was anyone outside the circle of players taking an inordinate amount of interest in the meet?
Are we gunna try driving right in?
True dat. To the liquor store! There a good place nearby for me and my homies to get some alcohol, Mr. PD?
Baba will drop 100 bucks for 10 bottles of sufficiently high proof booze.
And now for something that's gonna require GM ruling. Let's say Baba wants to pick up some Gas Grenades for her grenade launcher. The availability is 2 + chemical, so that suggests gas grenades are pretty common, and not even illegal unless the chemical inside is. For example, Pepper Punch is Avail -, so a Pepper Punch Gas Grenade is Availability 2. Commlinks are harder to come by than that.
So, on to my actual question, can Baba swing by a store and pick up some gas grenades that put out a flammable gas? Maybe something like a bug bomb? Just want to pop a few in the windows once the flames get going for some nice bonus boom to burn this house down.

During regular business hours, I'd say yeah, you could. but at midnightish, you might have to either make a trip to a big box type place or call up a contact who might have some layin around.
45 minutes -5 minutes/hit on an area knowledge or navigation roll.

" You said that you knew a fire spirit that could start the fire where we want it, right?."
I don't believe Athena ever said that IC, cause if she did, Baba would have vehemently disagreed with that plan.

I'm not sure if she did or not either.
"I'm sure my girl has some magic she can probably use." Baba remarks, remembering the way her father would pass out for a few seconds and come back knowing an entire building layout. He used to say he could project his astral presence and move around outside his body. She didn't pretend like she knew how that worked, but she hoped Athena did. "You can project your astral thing, right? That'll help with the scouting. Maybe you could find an empty place that's hard to get to, like the attic, and start some magic fires up there. A few molotovs in the windows, someone may run for the extinguisher and think he can make a difference. The entire roof on fire? Nobody's sticking around for that. They'll all clear out if they value their hide."this was probably the part i was remembering

Yeah. I can do that. I'll start top down and light up anything I can. I can make some preparations on the way.
She sits back into the seat making quiet preparations. She would be on her own in the astral plane, but no sense worrying them about it. It's one of the places she felt equal.

damn, I was sure that had been athena and not laereth... I'll edit my post tomorrow if neededQuote"I'm sure my girl has some magic she can probably use."

I keep getting confused. PD, is this supposed to be a flop house or a distribution house?
I'm actually really confused about what Athena is complaining about. When did anyone say anything about burning down a whole neighborhood? That was never even suggested, especially not as part of the plan. Is this another case of confusing IC with OoC, because the only time I remember that even being mentioned was reyjinn and Koshnek joking about how much gasoline we bought.
So far, it seems rather decided that Athena is astral overwatch. And while I understand that she's the only one who can astrally perceive and its just too stupid NOT to have someone watching that side of things, i feel like it takes her out of roleplaying with the rest of the team while things are going on, y'know? If she were one of the side characters, that wouldnt be such a big deal, but as a lead, i feel like its something i ought to address before the game starts to suffer because of it.
All I can think is, since Zippy ends up staying with the car quite frequently, maybe we just toss him an extra magic and use the power point for astral perception, that way we take some of the weight off Athena to provide ALL intel from that side.
I'm willing to entertain any other suggestions, though.
I decided to leave it. Just because it was meant as a joke, does not mean she took it as one. She is still pretty green.
As for shooting the conjurer, spirits will still continue a remote task until completed.
With Baba storming out, are we basically starting the mission now, or will Zippy have time to attempt infiltrating the house before it starts smoking?
[/quote
He doesn't know :D Neither does Francis, or reyjinn for that matter :P
Zippy's plan A was to infiltrate the house as a junkie and get a hit so I could stay there until the fire started to try and help if anyone is unable to get themselves out. With Baba storming off, he was unsure of what to do so he grabbed his rifle and followed her with some gas cans to help her however he can.
I'm sorry its taking so long, ive just been feeling very creatively drained lately.
I'll get something up soon here.
