Found Arcana – chapter 3 OOC
-
As said in the linked post, it looks like the building may have originated as ground level retail and two floors of offices before being converted. Lots of green glass (some of it windows, some of it just cladding, but the entire outer surface is green glass).
Ceasar had a third floor ‘suite’ of two rooms, off the hall a bit over 3mx3m (I didn’t dig up my original post when Bobby was investigating, but something around that size), and once you pass through that room a narrower room along the outer wall (around 2mx3m) which indeed has a window (but not one that opens). Bobby recalls that the window was covered with roller blinds (the solid material kind, not the kind with slats)
-
Meta ooc: About loot, I think it is fine in this case. It fits our chars to seize an opportunity to acquire magical items.
-
Gilga: the windows in Ceasar’s roomdon’t open at all (typical of modern offices in North America, which is what the building was converted from). There is about a meter of wall coming up from the floor, then two meters of glass going up to just about the ceiling (with solid blinds pulled down for some privacy). You can assume that the glass if fairly solid.
-
Are there service drones (cleaning and such) that can be hacked? Stealing a garbage can?
-
The bathroom ventilation fan that Bobby went in wouldn’t admit anything much bigger than a cockroach without some ‘adjustments’. There is a plastic grill on the outer wall and the fan blades fill the tube fairly snugly.
The previous look over of the building had not shown anything on the walls any larger than that. What is on the roof is unknown.
-
Beta, if there are hacking options please let AM know 😉
-
Jack, could you give me an extended search roll for Bobby — perception is fine, unless Bobby has something better — threshold is only 8, time interval is one minute.
-
Beta any love for the watcher to locate the stuf before hand? It should have plenty of time befroe we even arrive there.
-
Since I see Beta and Jack posting in our other games… Perhaps we entered a deadlock? where each one is waiting on the other to continue?
-
Sorry, I missed Beta’s post
-
And I’d forgotten about Gilga’s question about what is hackable. I’ll work up an IC addressing both AM and Bobby.
-
Hi Beta, you did not give me the stats of the hosts, so I’ll be conservative and assume it has 12 dice to defend. (try to be conservative… Let me know if it is okay.).
If the cleaning drones are slaved to the host – then she’ll hack one of them to gain mark on the host – otherwise, she will hack the host directly.
Let’s try the host, she had 5 hits on hacking, if it is not enough let’s reroll.
Reroll: 12d6t5 4so 9 hits total let’s figure out her configuration:
Program: Exploit +2 for hack on the fly
Program: VM – Smoke&Mirrors, signal scrub.Using her 4 for Sleaze (3F, 2DP, 1A)
she’ll have a limit of 4+2+SM
with the vectored signal processor and signal scrub, she has 4 noise compenstation, and she’ll kick it as high as she can without losing dice.so, as long as noise is at most 1 she’ll keep all 9 hits.
Let’s roll for the host – unsure what to use.
Host: 12d6t5 6Wow great roll – but she’ll still gain a mark.
Once inside she goes silent (-2 dice) and tries to turn off the fire alarm:
Edit File: 15d6t5 4
Host: 12d6t5 4
Tie – nothing happens. (legal action so no alarm).Second try:
Host: 12d6t5 4
host defense: 12d6t5 3So the first time they tie, the second time she beats the host and turns off the alarm.
AM would disconnects once she gets the job done.
Beta give me the okay for the matrix rolls and we’ll get going.
BTW: AM planned to use the watcher to time Bobby’s retreat it should detect humans without a roll but may be oblivious to drones so it is not a perfect solution. In case she hacked a drone to get to the alarm she’ll use it for additional security in escape route.
I’ll post once Beta gives the okay on the hacking.
-
Sorry I’d forgotten about the host – 11 dice so you are good (rating five, ASDF 5687).
And there may be a bit more for AM to do still …
-
@Gilga could I also get a resist being spotted roll? (Intuition + sleaze+smoke and mirrors level). Sorry, I should have asked for that when I put up that IC post.
-
Intuition +Sleaze + S&M: 14d6t5 6 since S&M increases Sleaze I did just Intuition + Sleaze
Sleaze is 4+1+4 =9.
-
Hahaha the image of Bobby running down the hallway naked with a sack in his teeth…
-
matrix perception: 12d6t5 2
AM is fine 🙂
And so is Bobby as it turns out, so time to get away and fence the loot.
As for heightened security, an unknown but tough looking intruder, carrying something in a pillow case, had just been ejected/let go. They didn’t know if there was more, or if he’d come back in the same way that he’d gotten in originally. They may not have wanted a conflict in a room of unarmed and untrained members and guests, but doesn’t mean that they were fully ignoring the security implications.
-
Since many of us have 6 points in arcana, I assume we should be able to figure out the loot and what it does/how valuable it is.
By the way… Anyone wants to GM next?
-
I volunteer for the next one 🙂
-
@Beta
We weren’t actually questioning the validity of the security. Just some idle IC speculation.@All
I offered to do Interlude sessions between the longer chapters (like this one) and that offer still stands. The idea would be a shorter, day-in-the-life-of scene that takes anywhere from one to four weeks to complete, depending on how players respond to the IC events. Very open world. I’ll offer to do one before Jack puts us through the ringer, but if people want to roll right in to Chapter IV then that’s fine too.
