    I edited my first post in this tread with a link to Jawsey’s character sheet current location (I’ll copy it over to the 2075: Stormy Waters campaign in the not too distant future, for convenience sake). So far the only spending that I’ve added since the end of the last run was to pay off 1 point of in debt (spent 7.5k, still owes 30k).

    @Gilga: do you have notes somewhere on how much we ended up paying for the lodge materials? I need to mark off Jawsey’s half, but so far I’ve not tracked the force that AM picked up (6?)

    Alright, good job, guys. You’re picking up the clues that I’ve been dropping.

    @Jack_Spade
    What does Bobby’s β€œHe.” mean at the beginning of your post? Is that like “heh”, a small laugh? Or something else?

    Yeah, it was meant as a dry laugth.

    @Beta I did not buy a lodge yet. AM has 9.3k nuyen (after reducing debt by 7500) before interest and lifestyle.

    Lifestyle is about 1.8k, and the interest on her debt is 5.25k this leaves her with around 2k nuyen for expenses. Magical lodge materials are 500 per level, and we get a 20% discount, so 2.4k for F6 and 1200 each.
    Does that make sense to you?

    Sorry, you’d posted about rearranged rooms because of the lorge, so I thought we’d bought it. But yes, rating six is plenty for Jawsey, and he has the 1200.

    We bought it alright, but I was not sure how big we’ll go so I waited with updating the charsheet.

    Don’t worry too much about the actual method of payment. Mato, after all, isn’t there to make his contribution. At this point the question is more about agreement than the mechanics of payment.

    Plus, who knows, AM could scuttle the agreement.

    IC is up.

    @jack_spade
    Bobby has a good Perception and Assensing pools, so I was mentally buying 3+ hits for him. Let me know if there’s something specific you want to look/roll for.

    Similarly, let me know how far you want to follow him. Right now you’re just following him through town, but you can tail him all day if you want.

    @all
    We’re in open RP right now. No specific timeline. Go ahead and post anything you want up to, say, dinnertime.

    Going to give Beta and opportunity to post if he wants.

    I’m leaving town for the weekend and will be back on Monday. We’ll be in a rural area. I think they have internet access but I won’t have a computer with me.

    Got another IC post up.

    Still in open RP, and timeline is still open/flexible until IC dinnertime or so. Then Mato will return, you can debrief together, and go from there.

    I wanted to have AM accompany Jawsei for a while, but perhaps posted in parallel to Beta so I edited a bit so it makes sense.

    Good posts, everyone.

    Before I go to bed, I’ll note that the cars are in garages. They could get vandalized when you take them out to drive them though.

    I wonder if Bobbie turned the kids into rats before or after they receive pizza from Jawsey. Great post Jack!

    The pizza-and-transformation would be a modern interpretation of the carrot-and-stick approach.

    They’ll be suitably intimidated. On an aggregate basis, Bobby’s dice pool is much larger than they can resist, unless Bobby tries to do large groups singlehandedly.

    @Gilga
    If you want to do any Matrix searching, feel free to roll it.

    I rolled – πŸ˜‰ took out of the IC and putting here.

    Improve logic F5, d’s rain: 2#10d6t5 3 5
    +3 logic, no drain sustained with focused concentration.

    matrix search 1: 14d6t5 4
    matrix search 2: 13d6t5 6
    matrix search 3: 12d6t5 3
    matrix search 4: 11d6t5 2
    Computer search 5: 10d6t5 4
    Computer search 6: 9d6t5 3
    22 success…

    That will find a decent amount. I’ll write up the results Monday.

    Probably not worth adding in now given those rolls, but Jawsey can roll 6 dice computers on team work.

    the fun stuff about extended searches is that the results improve with each dice (as each round is 1 less die). Therefore, even a few dice help is a big improvement.
    Let’s see what happens.

    help computer: 6d6t5 4
    Nice +4 dice – so I’ll just roll 18-15 dice.

    computer search -4: 18d6t5 6
    computer search -3: 17d6t5 4
    computer search -2: 16d6t5 3
    computer search -1: 15d6t5 4

    So we get 17(!) more hits in the computer search due to Jawsie’s help. Totalling in 39 successes. Some mechanics are very much encouraged by teamwork.

    PS: Jack did you notice the last line of my IC asking Bobby how it went? Not strictly important but could give us something to talk about as we wait for more input.
