On the job: OOC Chat

I apologize for my posting tardiness. A surprise family visit for my graduation kept me pretty preoccupied.

Visual Perception: 5 hits

As for the Audio Perception Test, I am not sure how to handle it. What modifiers am I experiencing? Does listening through the door provide a negative modifier? Does my helmet technique negate the modifier? You could roll for it if you like: Intuition 3 + Perception 3 +/- relevant modifiers. Also, do you need me to make an Infiltration roll for "stepping quietly" on the roof?

BTW Present. 2 notes. A) You cant see the watcher, they cant manifest in the physical world and as far as I'm aware you cant perceive in the astral. B) Your radio wouldn't work cause of the jamming.

The rest i'll address later. Just got home from a friends bday party and I have work in a few hours. I'll try to get another gm post up in the near future though with updated maps.

Actually, Watcher Spirits can manifest themselves on the physical plane; they cannot materialize, however. Check SR4A pages 189 and 193. I'll edit the IC post when I get the results from the rolls to fit the information received and the radio static. It was pretty difficult to keep the narration of his actions in whatever weird tense I was using. Probably involved a participle or something.

Kesslan do our chars see anything? If not we can go on, can we?

Just giving sly a chance to post as well before the next GM post.

Ok I'll try to get a post up later tonight. Some major accident severed one of the main fiber optic hubs for my ISP sometime yesterday while I was at work. Their supposed to have it fixed sometime today.

@sly: I thought the jammer is gone or did Iread it wrong in Kessland map-update post?

right my mistake..got lazy and didint read the whole thing..ill edit my post later today.

Awright so edited my post..the rolls im using are the one you told me i could use later...

im having problems with IC anyone willing to cover for my rolls?

Sly: Your going to need additional scan rolls to find hidden nodes before you can hack them. You need a Minimum of 15+ hits when your scanning without having a good idea of where the actual device is. Each roll takes up an entire combat turn. As a result please keep rolling till you have 15 hits or have what you feel are sufficient hits to detect everything your looking for (15 is not a guarantee to be enough to find everything. It is merely the absolute baseline to find something in hidden mode)

Ok so here's a question for you folk. Is everyone going to wait till Sly finds some contacts or do you want to keep moving while he's searching on the Trix? IT's going to take him several combat turns during which people can keep moving or hold off and wait. That said a combat turn is measured in seconds so the actual 'wait' wont be horrifically long either way.

We can at least move into the next room.

Int he next room: Are the drones from the KE observers or from the enemy runners? Was Ginny able to see that?

The drones she's talking about are in the stairwell, not the next room.

Are the the black area in the upper left or upper right area? So Ramme knows from which direction he should expect trouble.

I'll let you guess since a map was posted that did indicate a potential location for a stairwell was located.

invisible castle is giving me a 500 internal error, so i have no rolls for audio/visual perception... Still not too familiar with the one that is here on this site, otherwise, I guess I wait or you can roll for me Kesslan

Sure. I'll do the rolls for you then. Don't know why your having issues though (Did you try clearing your cache? Probably wont fix it but you never know).

The site works just fine for me so I don't know why it's giving you that sort of error when that generally isn't a client side issue (If your getting that error theoretically the rest of us should too)

Just as an added note I'm requesting everyone post a copy of their character sheets to the character sheet thread for ease of tracking on my part. There's still a few folk who have their sheets off site for example and that complicates things for me when I have to dig through 100 different posts to try and find the one sole off site link for their page when I'm not able to post from home.

nevermind, invisible castle is working again... I just rolled both together:

audio 2 hits,
visual 4 hits

Larz, your link for your roll is broken.

Repaired.

EDIT: Formatting on this roll is odd, it looks like it's rolilng in a format not supported by SR rules that or your using edge without declaring such.

On an added note folks. You MUST indicate in the notes text for the rolls what dice are coming from where and if your using edge or not. Otherwise the roll is liable to not be treated as being valid.
