Past Tense, the second. OOC

Jagger:

The sustaining penalty doesn't apply to drain rolls. As this isn't a life threatening or even game threatening situation, I rule that you only have to suffer 4 stuns. But it seems, Bishop will have a stinging headache for a while.


Gala:

I'd be glad to have you in my game. And I'm very glad to see you back on site.

Fair enough. I have always avoided magical characters as a rule...even as far back as D&D 3.5 because of all the extra rolling for spells and their effects. I thought I would try the SR4 version just this once, but it looks as though Bishop will have to restrict his 'psionics' to the actual act of thievery.

There is no need to. We all learned the rules more or less while playing. And especially when you play a magical character the first time you are prone to forget details.
Or when you play your second, third or tenth magical character. Shadowrun is a complex game.

A warm welcome to Ashe. Gala will bring her into the past tense.

Fortunatley, we're still at the very beginning, it will be easy to integrate her into the group.

Thank you Darkon. I'll post in as soon as you and the game are ready.

Welcome aboard, Gala (and Ash)!

Thank you, thank you! Hopefully you all enjoy the "younger" version of the Ashe you have all come to know and love in the A Time For Secrets game. This was a back-tracked version put together for a previous game, and Darkon decided that she was just right for this game's needs.

I hope you don't mind the somewhat railroaded dream sequence. I got the idea since this version of Ashe doesn't seem to have any contacts in her character sheet.

Your reaction to it was good anyway. I like the french butler.

I hope everyone is ok after Sandy hit... I was out of power for the week; but it's back now. Everyone else?

I enjoy fluff game a lot, Gala. We can continue it for a while longer if you like.

good reading on Ash's scenario!


Bishop seems to have stagnated without any response from his team... concerns? issues? questions?

perhaps my attempts at 'creative background scenes" have become off-putting?

Good questions Jagger. Sadly, I don't know. At least Kesslan should be around again. And if Twitch is gone... well.

At this point, I think we should go on with the museum tour.

as you say, mon capitan!

By now, I am afraid we have waited long enough for the players to go on.

Unless they were waiting for me. But I don't think I have missed something in their posts.

I believe Twitch was waiting to make contact with Soren...

other than that I think its just the time of year, the election, Hurricane Sandy, etc...

in other words, 'real life' once again rearing its spikey, green-eyed, forked-tongue head

Aye. Real life can be a pain in the behind. And everywhere else. I wonder who else on this site is not living in the USA. Well, I can stretch the fluff a bit longer and give them a chance to get in touch again. You never know.

Darkon, here are my rolls for my last post

Audio Perception (Intuition 3 + Perception[Hearing] 6 + Enhancement 2) = 2 hits

Visual Perception (Intuition 3 + Perception 4) = 2 hits

Scanning for wireless devices, then Analyzing any found signals = 3 hits, then 2 hits

Ok, you can ignore my Perception checks of the exterior landscape of the museum.
Bishop is inside as per your GM post.

He is going in. I assumed he would keep his eyes open on the way. Don't worry about that.

sort of a fluff post, but Bishop will be attempting to get a few minutes away from Miss Wiggles (if her last name turns out to actually be Wiggles or Wigglesworth or some such, that's just too funny) so he can try and transmit some of what he's getting to the rest of the team.


assuming, of course, that there is still a 'rest of the team' to transmit to

I wonder myself. Twitch hasn't shown up in a while. But Kesslan is around.

if we keep it rolling maybe one or both will rejoin us

Hopefully.

Sorry I've been gone for awhile, real life caught up with me for a couple of weeks. We had to send three guys back to Germany for surgery, and two back to the states, in caskets. I really didn't feel like even checking.

Things have gotten better though, the Taliban have gone back to Pakistan for the winter, so things have calmed down. We also killed about 70 of the bastards, so....

Well between that and only being allowed to use the internet for 30 minutes in a day, I had some difficulty.

Damn it I hit my time limit for today, and I wasn't done reading through everyone's posts..... I'll try to get caught up by tomorrow

Don't worry about keeping up with the game. Just stay alive.

I will pull your character along so you can keep playing him in case you have extended periods where you can't get on here. I either didn't know you were already on active duty, or I forgot. Anyway, unless the other players object, we should play round Twitch when you aren't available. Or I take the reins on him for these times.
