Cortez the Technographer's page

I know that we are playing a whole different game, but I wanted to invite you to come join me in a downtime game of pathfinder.

Im going to see if I can get some people to rebuild kenabres and Dresden in a twist on the Wrath AP. Your All welcome to come let play if you want.

Recruitment thread

If non-interested no worries.

Varis, If you need ive got a laz pistol on my belt or icould hand you this carbine and use the pistol myself. You cant be a worse shot then Cortez.

Cortez tries to fire off a couple snaps of las-carbine into the the passenger in a small semi-burst

Connecting with two degree's of success.

Im probally dead right after you are, I Am firing at the car.. the guy that got out and shoot you, but I missed and hit the car. Cortez will die with ya lass, he has not left. Maybe the inquisitior will come and save us .. I hear that they walk almost like the golden one did amougnst us mudmen.

Just giving you all a heads up, just spent the past day and half in the hospital. Even though I took extra care with the crazy cold I ended up with the bronchitis. Add having smoked for 23 years and quit 8 days ago.. My lungs and such are going crazy. Im still inpatient at the va here. Using my dad's tablet to make these posts, ive read nothing between my last posts and this one. As either your DM or fellow player I had to tell ya all whats what. No clue how long its going to take me to kick this. But like I said doc said maybe discharge me tomorrow. This is just a mass post to all the game discussions atm.

Knowing that his targets are disabled, Cortez slips up around in cover and sees what happens. Knowing nothing about organic healing Cortez unloads into the man's that jumped out of the car.

BS44: 1d100 ⇒ 63

Not able to get a clear shot, Cortez's shots hit the car.

Cortez fires another semi-auto burst up into that room, to try and give cover to the rest of the party so that they can get into better angles and such.

BS34+10: 1d100 ⇒ 32
Energy: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Energy: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Pretty sure that's only one damage/degree of success I added 2 dmg rolls just incase

I havnt gone anywhere.. My last action was to shoot at the window so everyone else could make their actions.. Ive been waiting for everyone to say they have done something before posting again.

I am not sure either.. at table play for rogue trader.. I never made any skill check by more then one degree of success.. generally not by more then 1 or 2%. I did make this shot by 49 though.. Best roll so far in any of the rogue trader games for me.

BS 34+20: 1d100 ⇒ 5
Cortez pokes out of cover and fires up a full auto burst with his trusty carbine.

Hitting for 4 degrees of success.. four hits, almost 5?
Energy Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Energy Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Energy Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Energy Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cortez draws his Las Carbine and seeks cover

Hookin the Voxcaster to his belt Cortez simply turns it off.

'Orestes was in contact with someone on this device. We do need to go before reinforcments show up. Someone take lead to extraction site.

Cortez steps on the earpiece breaking it.

Cortez plugs it into Data-Slate to record the conversation and boost it loud enough to hear without actually using the earpiece

Cortez holds up a hand by his mouth, plugs his electro graft into his Data-Slate and tries to backtrace the signal on the vox-net. Failing that he will plug into his Auspex Scanner and try to get a transloacation that way.

Tech: 1d100 ⇒ 94
Perception 30+20: 1d100 ⇒ 37
Tech Use Auspex 37+10+10--57: 1d100 ⇒ 92

looking at the vox-caster Cortez tries to figure out what the rune means. Tech use 37, 47 if there is a place to input my electro-graft: 1d100 ⇒ 28

Cortez looks around and makes sure that everyone else including Titus is still standing. He heads over to Jene and Titus keeping his las carbine at the ready.

"This one thinks sometimes one must pluck a weed to get a flower to grow. This one appologiezes for the illusion master Titus. Your presence is required by our master."

Cortez fires a single shot with his Carbine at that spot where the muscle was at.

Las Carbine 34: 1d100 ⇒ 15
Dealing Energy Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Doesn't the muscle need to make a pinning test because I hit him round 1? before he can attempt to pin me in round 2?. he hasn't even fired at me yet.. but roll is at end of post.

Cortez lets loose a full round burst again at the same hired gun.

Full Auto Burst54: 1d100 ⇒ 94 Again Cortez misses, hopefully he makes the muscle dive for cover.

pin check 35-20: 1d100 ⇒ 72

initiative: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Cortez is distracted because he was watching the Priest and Titus walking away that he didn't notice what Phedra was doing. It takes him a moment but he takes aim with his las carbine and unloads to shots into the closest thug.

Full Auto Burst54: 1d100 ⇒ 52
Cortez misses the second shot wildy hitting the ground at the guys feat, but possibly connects once for
Las carbine: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Cortez is just kinda playing the overwhelmed grieving nephew role

before I monopolize that meeting.. that I should Not be in charge of.. im going to wait and let the others pipe.. it is a holiday after all. I don't want to draw first blood.. but I got no clue how to give him thrones I don't have.

Cortez gestures at one of his companions.

"Indeed its been kept safe on that unit. If you want to come over here we can square away, or we can go inside if you would prefer a bit of nourishment."

"Young Master Titus. This units maternal uncle passed away a few weeks back. This unit had an accountant companion assist with going through the paperwork. an irrularity was found. My uncle received a death payment with your name as the payer for his wife. Who had already died decades ago. That does not compute. Which is why I am here."

"This one does not agree with behavior like that so I wished to refund that death payment to you. As this unit had no way to get ahold of you, this unit hired that unit Orestes to help find you."

Coretez notes that Orestes has a pistol drawn and grounded, so he does the same with his las gun, keeping the las carbine he has been carrying under his robes still under them. Holding up the data-slate with his other hand cortez waves to Orestes.

"This one inquires if that is indeed the one whom my family debt is owed? Master Titus, is that you ser?"

Cortez isn't so good with people, hes much more focused on things and knowledge. Hes willing to kill whoever he needs to survive, he counts his life more precious that anyone else save the golden ones.

were here waiting on you.. you said you would move it on 12 hours a couple days ago..

Scanning his data-slate to recommit for the 3005th time the details to his organic data banks Cortez slips it beneath his robe. Hoping the others are in position to do whatever they are going to do. they told him but Cortez is too distracted at his first acting "job" to have paid any attention, he plans to follow the "pack".

Shes the nell to my eric. that type of stuff like she said aint our skillset:D

"This one figured that if the standard rate was 10%, 25% would make the guy more willing to assist. Seems greed is the currency here. Does it really matter how old or young this Titus is? Its not like there is a choice in what we must do."

Nodding at the man as he departs I walk right up to 3 Finger Joe.
"You told me that unit was known as Someone, its name is Orestes. If you are to be his business associate you should know its real name.

Cortez walks over to where the others are sitting and brings them up to speed with what he found out. Thanking the genie for her quick thinking with the paperwork. Cortez then scans his systems making sure they are all fully at the ready.. Finally realizing he has been holding a sheathed las gun this whole time he shrugs and clips it back to his belt.

Cortez brings up the data on his slate so it is on top so to speak as he heads over the person he knows as Someone. Cortez sets the data slate on the table in-front of Someone.

"Someone. I am told you can help this unit find one Titus,House of Qui'Ge. This unit's uncle owed a debt from a death payment. This unit was told that you charge 10%, This unit is willing to pay you 25% because this unit is now aware of the challenge and other issues you may have finding my uncles debter."

"This unit appreciates you assistance, so that I may return to scriptorium and scribe in peace."

Cortez realizes he is still standing so he sits down.

"This unit thanks you."

"What.. Type of percentage does the person known as someone require?"

"well it had Nothing to do with that crap. This one was going over his uncles journal and found reference to the name Titus,House of Qui'Ge. -Debt owed- I wanted to inquire if I could repay my uncles debt.. no clue what it was."

"Perhaps you did, if so their lips are careless. This Unit has a business proposition for one Titus of that House. Do you know him?"

Cortez approaches the Mass Cooling Unit and prepares himself for the rite of communion with its spirit. He pulls out a multi-tool and looks for a place to insert his electro-graft

TechUse37+10Multitool+10graft: 1d100 ⇒ 99

"You are indeed correct ser, this Spirit is indeed vary temperamental. I don't suppose you have any sacred unguents?"

"Three Finger Joe, I notice that the Spirit within your Mass Cooling Unit is acting up. This unit requests permission to address this Spirit for you.

As cortez walks closer to the others he scans again with the auspex, this time looking for any Machines whos spirits are in need of appeasement.

Honestly jene.. I was kinda confused.. thought you were talking to browman.. not one of the npcs.

Concure. Quarry: Situation outside? hostile still armed?

Another message appears on Jene's Dataslate

Fighting-Units surrendering arms to 3finger joe. Request confirmation of non-violent negotiations?

On her data pad the Genie receives a message. 'Three full-organics unit, firearm under bar-unknown type, warded backroom, unknown. request backup cannot eliminate all targets myself'.

I walked inside.. still holding pistol, sheathed, waiting for you all get your lazy butts in side.

Cortez walks into the bar, looking for one of the fore-mentioned blood sealed lockers and waiting for the others to come he looks around the room perception 30: 1d100 ⇒ 79 for a visible data-port, not seeing one he interfaces his Electro-Graft to the port on the side of the Auspex Scanner at his side.

Cortez waits just inside the doorway for the others to come inside scanning whatever frequencies he can pickup via the Auspex Scanner at his side Tech use 37 + Electro-graft 10 : 1d100 ⇒ 15 to spot things not visible to normal human senses.

did i do those rolls right boss?

Fair enough. :)

Shrugging to himself cortez removes a holster from the belt around his waist. He carrys it sheathed in hand towards the bar.

"This one requests permission to enter and stow this with master 3 Finger Joe. This Cog, would enter your broken cog, perhaps he can fix it for you."

was just an int check.. didn't think tech use would apply to remembering if I ever read anything bout them before.

1d100 + 37 ⇒ (42) + 37 = 79 Cortez scans his memory banks for any mention of Skullmaster in conjecture with Theta 7. As he does he looks over at his companions to see which will speak up first.

I PMed Browman and he said whatever you wish, was confused also. Seems like will be given some liberties wont normally be given.

Still vary confused about the situation, but willing to flow with the pattern for now. Cortez looks at the others, really taking them in for the first time. First there is a woman with a hunting rifle over her shoulder. Next is a man with a small armory of weaponry, Third is another man, this one bearing a sword and board as well a hand cannon of all things. Geeze, this is one vary heavily armed group we are of these Acolyte's.

"This one wonders if we are going to be able to enter this tavern with all of the weapons you soldiers are carrying. This one does not drink, so is unaware of procedure. Do we just walk inside and interface with the staff and see if they know this Titus Qui'Ge we are to find? Get me to a data-port and this unit will see what is he can find."

I make no assumptions either, but it seemed logical choice for two reasons. I made that willpower test so I would know how I felt about helping or not and I have 99% commitment to the cause :D Then when he decided to help he noticed he was trapped, hes the tech guy, hes no good to any of you if he cant free himself, from a chair - even a fancy one. He has not heard much about the inquisition being a follower of the other 'faith' he only knows people go to them and disappear.
