If Tagris has been in London, that's about it for congruence, methinks, unless Sal was temporarily stationed at bases in Germany or the like.

In the US, it was Chicago and military bases.

How about this for your and my last entry:

"Undercity Blues"
When an errant were-goat gets involved with a drug dealer who turns up murdered, he stumbles into the supernatural underground railroad, meeting a soldier with a past who just wants to be left alone. But can a soldier and a goat survive when a White Court vampire decides to turn the underground railroad into his own personal feeding grounds?


That's brilliant, Tangris. I think that'd work perfectly. That you were in the seedy Soho district where many a White Court Vamp would get their kicks.

And it links up into the current storyline; so maybe Tangris has moved up north to look further into the Drug-Dealers past...

Tangris:
The drug-dealer has connections, the further you look into it the more you realise the network is a warren of inequity. There seems to be a steady shipment coming from Afghanistan via Holland - it is reaching land-fall upon the East Coast of the UK at either Hull or Whitby...

DSX:
Tangris would reluctantly feel obligated to look further once he found anything, even against his better judgement and slacker nature...


Works for me.

Apologies everyone for my slow posting -- the unburying from work and what not has taken precedence over unburying from online games. I promise you'll have your usual fire-hearted Kenneth back this weekend.


Don't feel bad just because the rest of us have no life.

Hugs quietly.

DSX realises that he needs to post.
Runs away.


Heheh,...
For Lent, I'm giving up RL.

What? They said to give up things that are BAD for you!?! :)


Oh, if I didn't mention it. Everyone (basically all you PC's & the NPC's) in the gallery can see each other, although there are different areas & back rooms.


Heh, I'm hoping that I got on Andrew's GOOD side before having the little tete-a-tete with him! :)


Sweet, James can decode DSX-isms better than I. We have a translator!

Just for the bookkeeping, I'm assuming Kenneth's in formal dress again, so he'll have his potions in his sporran, and he'll be wearing his new (open-handed archer's) gauntlet. After last time, he's also carrying a summon-sword potion (leaving only 1 empty slot).

Technically, he's got 1 more focus item slot to fill which I'm still thinking about -- I don't want to have items replace his spells (which is why I've been having them be his primary offensive things) -- but that gets tricky when your magic is limited as his is.

[Did I mention I broke down and took refinement with his earned refresh?]


That's cool. I'm happy for you to have a versatile 'floating' slot.

And thanks for the book-keeping post.


*DSX wipes the rotten tomato from where it hit him*

Interesting, well this has been an amazing day, so many posts. Hope everyone's been having fun.


The fact that the gamemaster actually took time to ask if we wanted to invite Andrew, Bunny or 'Maya' makes me wonder just what, exactly, we are heading into,... :(


Nope, didn't wish you just to rush off. And as Sal says she knows none of them, whilst neither does Tangris.

:P

It was just an idle question....


Suuuure it waaaaaas,... ;P


Still not too late if some-one wants to declare that an NPC joined them. Or of course declared anything about the police station...
like "flickering lights", "open fire-escape", "lost police pass", "set of keys".


Oh yeah! the infamous 'write your own entrance here' power! :)

I like this game. ;)


BTW, I'm busy with work and prepping wife for upcoming surgery. I'll stay on top as best I can. Please forgive if I vanish for a day or two.
;P

Thanks,

I will be on vacation until March 16th. I may or may not have access to internet, so feel free to DMPC me as needed. Thanks!


Baaaaah!


Lastwall Heroes - Current Date: Toilday, 31 Desnus, 4711 AR | Shadowrun - Current Date: Saturday, March 13, 2060

Have fun!

We'll make sure you don't cross any bridges and get eaten by trolls!


Lol!

Don't be 'Sheepish' Treppa! ;P


Ewe shouldn't make baaad jokes, Rags. That's shear lunacy, and my job :P

My thoughts are with you and your wife, Rags. Thanks for the update.

Hope you have fun, James/Tangris.


Aw, Ewe'r just jealous!
I sense this will get wooly before it gets better. ;)

(Remember, I spent time in the PUNitentiary!)
;D


And nice shot Kenneth! :)

Thanks, Rags.

Some day, I'll find the real Brigid's Bow, but I thought this gauntlet should fill in nicely in the meantime -- and I didn't want to risk being seen while summoning my sword.

I figure Sal and Tangris can make sure that he doesn't get a chance to raise an alarm.


Sorry, it will be tomorrow before I can get a post, about you guys descending into the heart of the Police Station.


No worries, Danny's not in any hurry to make himself a target! :)


Update,

Mrs Ragadolf is home now, sans 1 kidney. She will be fine, (and is already walking around, like the doctor told her too) she'll need 2-3 weeks healing and all will be well.

Thank you all for the well-wishes, they were and are appreciated.

I, On the other hand, am about 1 thread short of snapping right now, ;P
RL continues to kick my heinie. I'll keep up as best I can, but ask forgiveness in advance if I simply do not post for a couple of days.
;/


So sorry to hear that. Wishing her (& your sanity - what's left) the best of recoveries & don't worry.


Thank you, much obliged. ;)


Sorry for the silence guys, RL kind of crash landed on me. (Again) ;P
Be back soon(ish)
And HAppy Easter!

Off to kill a chocolate Bugs Bunny for the kids baskets,...


That's cool, RL & Easter is super busy. Anyway, I slightly pushed us forward.


Danny, so true about the ice point. Although it's got a ton better in bars & restaurants, especially with cocktails (& unfortunately with beers - bah cold beer, just to conceal the taste).

But as happened on Sunday's D&D game:
US Player: "GM, could I have ice in my soda? You know I always have ice."
GM: "Yeah, I've got some specially for you."


Heheh,...
Yeah, I would hope that the touristy areas at least would have gotten better about it, if just because you want to pander to your paying tourists.
;)

And agree about the beer, the only thing worse than Cold beer is WARM beer! Bleech! ;P

Yeah, when I eventually make my way back over the pond, I'm going cider shopping! And probably enjoy a few good wines. :D


Hoo hah! Laughed my arse off on that one!
I think I woke up one of my kids. ;)

Nice James, just,... nice. ;P

I think so -- Molly (and all of Ken's sisters) are older than he is -- and she took after their father -- both in terms of the serious hard-worker type and the addictive aspect of their personality.

Kenneth never really quite got on with his sisters, partially because of the age gap and partially because they took after dad, who he never really got on with -- and so he was the "black sheep" of the family -- and Molly (more than any of them) blamed Kenneth for not having a better relationship with the old man when he died.

And then, of course, Molly's hard-working addict ways led her from the more standard cocaine addictions that get to high-pressure professionals into vamp venom.

During their last encounter (with Trip), Kenneth would have tried to get his sister clean -- but didn't go all flaming sword and vampire hacking in front of her. He may have tried to slip her a potion, but I don't think he would have revealed his abilities (at partially because she [like Dad] never much cared for the tales of the old ways). Which isn't to say that she wouldn't have heard from the vamps that got away, or suspected in the first place.

Still, while it's a complicated relationship, there's no hatred -- Molly (assuming she's got her own mind) -- generally thinks she knows what's best (stubbornly so -- and add in an addict's certainty, at least when she was hooked) and would want to direct her little brother away from "wasting his life" -- she's the older sister, after all. At the same time, she probably has a hard time thinking of Kenneth as a Warrior-Bard, and would be more likely to think of him as little schoolboy he was when she went off to university -- or as the slacker who dropped out to tour with his band.

So -- yeah -- long story short, I think that works so far. :)


Well, I'M enjoying it! :)

If any one's interested,... ;P

Nice work guys. LUV it, just LUV it so far!

Hope I can actually help this scene with something besides one-liners! ;)

Keep up the good work!


It's amazing. Keep it up!


Ack, question, when we started this scenario (back in the museum) did we start with our refresh FP, or our starting total FP?


It should be your refresh FP, and I believe that's 2 for Danny plus any I have given out.

(remember, you can self-tap to get yourself into trouble & nominate others for RP bonus FP's)


I did not remember that,
Thanks! :)
(Evil chuckle,...)

I was tempted to self-tap to get a FP for the comment about my girl -- it's the issue with being a "romantic" in the old sense of the word.

Then again, if I'm ever really hosed, the nice thing about sponsored magic is that I can (potentially) take FP debts to Brigid.


Hey all,

Sorry no posts,
Buried at work this week,
(Large children's show, 'Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr')
;P

I'll be back up for air by Sunday, I hope! ;)


Thanks for the heads up, Rags.

Hope it's all fine. That sounds more suitable than the Hans Christian-Anderson version :P
(even if it sounds less fun than the swashbuckling performance)
All the best with the show.


Thanks, :)


A friend did some research and more motorbikes are stolen than are bought new every year in the UK. (Of course, he then went and had 2 stolen in 3 months)
