[20:26] <@BradGM> +++It took a couple of hours for Mockingbird to get their bearings straighten out and locate Darius’ Counter in Maxwell, located in the 6th Square, known as the merchant’s Square.
[20:26] <@BradGM> The shop/warehouse was well guarded by local muscle, and rolin himself, while were serviceable and helpful in terms of local gossip unfortunately brought no new development in the matter at hand; if only navigating the streets of Maxwell made easier by the walk.+++

[20:27] * +Mira_Atella folds her arms as they stand outside of the shop, "He knew more. That weasel."

[20:27] <@BradGM> You are back into the streets of the 6th Square, buzzing with Nobles and servants going back and firth shopping
[20:28] <+Mira_Atella> "I thought that little ruse would get him to tell us, but obviously not."
[20:28] <@Grendel> "Perhaps. Our next stop? Someplace to stay? The location where the massacre took place?"
[20:28] <+Mira_Atella> "A place to stay, yes. I think going to the house knowing nothing would end badly for us."
[20:29] <@BradGM> ((and you ahven't ate since the train ride, some 6 hours ago))
[20:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( she has bread! ))
[20:29] <@BradGM> ((and nothing much else))
[20:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( eh.. still.. it's bread lol ))
[20:30] <+Mira_Atella> "Do you see anything you could hook in to for more information on the city?"
[20:31] * @Grendel glances around, but doesn't look too hopeful, considering the primitive technology shown by...well, the entire planet.
[20:31] * +Mira_Atella looks around, not all that hopeful after the last city.
[20:31] * @Grendel pulls out his auspex to help with his scanning.
[20:32] <@BradGM> Roll awarness Mira; Grendel, your aupex can show you the streets and alleys 50 meters around you, but cna't tell you where is what.

[20:34] <@BradGM> ((no kidding))
[20:35] * @Grendel shakes his head. "This..village seems just as primitive as the other."
[20:36] <@BradGM> Grendel as you follow Mira, your aupex comes to life as it detects numoerous energy source like las weaponry coming form a boarded up tavern with a dangling sign; the palce looked abandonned.
[20:36] * +Mira_Atella nods, not expressing much surprise. "We can find lodging, then do this the old fashion way." She tugs the zipper on the front of her suit a bit, not lowering it, but smiling slightly with a touch of menace.
[20:36] <@BradGM> ((yeah forgot a comma in tehre....))
[20:36] <@BradGM> ((well that crapped it all..))
[20:37] <+Mira_Atella> (( we can skip the whole them finding a place deal, don't really need to RP it, and skip right to the tavern, which was her idea for sexy time heh ))
[20:37] * @Grendel pauses, considering his auspex. "I'm detecting powercells for las-class weaponry."
[20:38] <+Mira_Atella> "Can you tell where?"
[20:38] * @Grendel points to the boarded up tavern. "There."
[20:38] <@BradGM> Following Grendel's aupex, you do enters a local tavern that is well open and operating, the patrons being in the majority, if not all, offworlders

[20:41] <@Grendel> ((couldn't remember if it was -20...too many of the games are blurring together heh))
[20:44] <@BradGM> Mira, you can feel the tavern being filled wiht a thick, uneasy tension, not originating form a fear of an attack or something similar, more like boredom slowly starintg to reach its breaking point. Grendel feel nothing while Halo does not see the pair of blue cloaked strangers who just entered the drinking hole
[20:45] * @Grendel looks around, his optical mechadendrite in close as it scans the patrons while he looks over the auspex, comparing the data inputs.
[20:45] <+Mira_Atella> (( Mira doesn't have the cloak on ))
[20:46] * +Mira_Atella narrows her eyes as she looks around, one of the patrons standing out to her more than the others.
[20:46] <@BradGM> ((Oh- then it's the bodysuit wearing blonde woman showing some cleavage and the blue cloaked, large hunchback))
[20:47] <@Grendel> ((yeah, so much better))
[20:47] * +Halo_V looks around, bored, and has a gulp of whatever swill is passing for Liquor
[20:47] * +Mira_Atella walks towards the blonde, tapping her index finger on her own shoulder to signal Grendel.
[20:48] * @Grendel looks to where Mira is looking, checking his auspex.
[20:48] <@BradGM> ((nothing says fight like 2 woman with the sme hair colour, wearing the same thing, in the same room))

[20:54] <+Mira_Atella> (( The new phrase for the rest of the night, FFS. Screw you Servitor :P ))
[20:55] * @Grendel glances at Mira. "Synskin, a variety of solid projectile weaponry. Human. Not blessed by the Omnissiah."
[20:55] <@BradGM> Halo, you can spot a blonde woman wearing a (obvisouly made off-world) bodysuit followed by a large hunkback man observing what has all the impression of an aupex who seems to ahve an intrest in you
[20:56] * +Mira_Atella gives a nod as she moves forward, "She's quite out of place."
[20:56] <@BradGM> Thr hunchback man is weairng alocally made cloak
[20:57] * +Halo_V looks Mira over, critically.
[20:57] <@Grendel> ((Brb, something'd odd))
[20:58] <@BradGM> Halo, the woman is weargin a small backpack, but doesn't seems to be armed with any type of gun, pistol or otherwise
[20:59] * +Mira_Atella comes up next to the woman and leans on a table, looking at her, but not saying anything.
[20:59] <+Halo_V> "I help you?" She asks in a not exactly bored voice
[20:59] <@Grendel> ((Sorry about that. Sounded like a sink was running on full, but turns out its the sprinklers outside I guess))
[21:01] * +Mira_Atella stares at her for a moment longer before answering, "You're not from here. We've been having issues with people not from here. Seemed a good idea to give you a bit of an... inspection."
[21:01] * @Grendel stays back, letting his optical mechadendrite take in the rest of the tavern.
[21:02] * +Halo_V grins, showing nice white teeth, "You can inspect me anytime."
[21:02] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel for anything he may have to tell her.
[21:03] * BurnEdOut (~ed@cpe-98-144-62-249.wi.res.rr.com) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:03] <+Mira_Atella> "You are obviously not from here.. nice outfit, by the way.. but do you know the city?" She doesn't really look at the woman as she speaks, keeping her eyes on Grendel.
[21:04] <@BradGM> Grendel, a few patrons who did notice you seems taken back by your mechadendrite, but it seems more like an uncommon sight than a horrific vision. Most appear to be armed with las and SP weapons, not to mention wearing mesh and flak armoud of different composition
[21:04] * @Grendel looks for any signs of tech-heresy.
[21:05] * +Halo_V shrugs a little, "A little bit...I haven't been ... here long."
[21:06] * +Mira_Atella considers for a few moments what value the woman might have for them being an offworlder that has has no real ties, but still knowledge of the city.
[21:07] <@BradGM> Roll awarenss Grendel
[21:07] <+Mira_Atella> "If you have some time, we could throw a few thrones out for the little bit you may know. Possibly more."
[21:08] <+Halo_V> "What your story? You look like a merc, yeah?"
[21:08] * +Halo_V pauses at Mira's statement. "I like thrones. Tell me more."
[21:08] * +Mira_Atella turns to look at her for the first time in a while, "Hardly."
[21:08] <@Grendel> !dhroll 70
[21:08] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 20 Success by 5 degrees!
[21:09] <+Mira_Atella> "You don't need to know about us to take the thrones, it's best to keep it that way. If you've made any contacts since being here that could give you more information on some... past events, the price you'll get will go higher."
[21:10] * +Mira_Atella she puts down 100 thrones on the table in front of Halo.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Grendel, you see that a man has non-Imperial grendaes, you also see that most weapons are in working condition, but the machine-spirt has been seriously neglected; quite a discontent, but the primitive nature of the world you fell victim to makes it a somewhat explainable affront to the Omnissiah, but not an acceptable one.
[21:11] * +Halo_V looks at the 100 thrones, and then begins to tell the story of the imbecile she came here to work for, including everything she knows about his business.
[21:13] * +Mira_Atella nods a few times as she listens, interjecting a bit at one point a few words about how blood could pay back wasted thrones if Halo steered them wrong, putting down another hundred whent he story is finished.
[21:13] * @Grendel frowns behind his mask, looking around, before studying the grenades, trying to resist revealing himself completely.
[21:14] <+Halo_V> "Steer them wrong how? Whats your play?"
[21:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe Mira was subtly threatening that if Halo steered her wrong, she'd kill her ))
[21:15] <@BradGM> Grendle, roll forbidden lore (Xeno)!
[21:16] * +Halo_V gives a look thats sort of the opposite of fear/worry at the threat, kind of a wolfish grin
[21:16] <@BradGM> Or Forbidden Lore (Inquisition) at -40 or Forbidden lore (ordo xenos) at -20
[21:17] <+Mira_Atella> "I think the drinks are over for the evening, if you'd like to introduce me to your previous employer." She pushes back from the table, giving a somewhat worried look as she looks back to Grendel as he seems to be focusing on something.
[21:17] <@Grendel> !dhroll 23 (Forbidden Lore (Inquisition))
[21:17] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 65 Failure by 4 degrees!
[21:18] <+Halo_V> "An introduction? Sure."

[21:19] <@BradGM> ((*unknown))
[21:19] <@BradGM> ((I don't know how that happend))
[21:19] <+Mira_Atella> (( *pets Brad on the head* ))
[21:20] <+Mira_Atella> "Is everything okay?" She keeps the somewhat worried expression as she addresses Grendel.
[21:21] <@Grendel> "Non-Imperial Technology, and failue to respect and take care of the machine spirits of Imperial technology."
[21:22] * +Mira_Atella rolls her eyes slightly, "We have somewhere to go."
[21:24] <@Grendel> "Oh? What data did you acquire?"
[21:24] * +Mira_Atella nods her head towards the other blonde, "She has someone that might be.. willing to give us more information on the city."
[21:25] <+Halo_V> "I should say that he does have a large number of burly guards. Just so you don't tell me I was holding back later."
[21:25] * @Grendel studies the woman. "Very well. It does not seem like we have much else to do."
[21:26] * +Mira_Atella thinks back to the inn. "Guards don't worry me."
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> "Lead the way."
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehehe.. dismembered head soccer ))
[21:29] * +Halo_V heads towards the mansion/residence/fort/whatever it was!
[21:29] * @Grendel follows, studying the new woman.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Halo goes back to the 2nd Square, close to the Duke of Maxwell's Keep in the center Square, and close to the manor house of the Earl of Gewr, her former employer.
[21:30] * +Halo_V moves with practiced grace, also, somehow guns have made their way into her hands.
[21:32] * +Mira_Atella notices the weapons, putting her hands on her legs near two of the knives, but not yet pulling them.
[21:33] * @Grendel checks his weapon while his optical mechadendrite examines Duke of Maxwell's Keep.
[21:34] <@BradGM> The Manor House is a 3 story walled building, as most are in the square, the door kept by a pair of local guards.
[21:35] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can see that the keep is a rahter well constructed defensive structure i the local fashion of feudal architecture.*
[21:36] * +Mira_Atella reaches out and puts a hand on Halo's shoulder, "Hold on.. we can do this more easily by using our natural assets to distract them."
[21:37] * @Grendel frowns, studying the keep, thinking such primitive defenses wound up doing no good.
[21:37] <+Halo_V> "Yeah...I have a way with people, though...they may still be upset with me." She holds in a grin
[21:37] <+Mira_Atella> (( are they close enough the guards can already see them clearly? ))
[21:38] <@BradGM> ((Well, you could have stopped earlier))
[21:39] * GMlooGMba (Gloomster@cpe-24-30-178-254.socal.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
[21:40] * +Mira_Atella pulls the knives now, flipping them upward so they are hidden against her palm and wrist.
[21:41] <+Halo_V> "It seems we are planning violence, then?" She looks at Mira.
[21:42] <+Mira_Atella> "If you seem to think they won't be happy to see you, I'd rather be ready."
[21:43] * Xaviertoo (~Bardeak@71-84-125-52.static.reno.nv.charter.com) has joined #Shadowrun
[21:45] * @Grendel pulls in his mechadendrites and stays in the back.
[21:45] * +Halo_V quickloads her silenced Hecuter with manstoppers. "Yeah, well, they didn't exactly ask me to leave politely, you know?"
[21:46] <+Mira_Atella> "You're in front for a reason.. let's go."
[21:47] <@BradGM> The 2 front guards are wearing fuedal breastsplates and leather uniform for the Earl's house guards. They are aremd with swords and halberds.
[21:47] <@BradGM> ((and BRB))
[21:48] <+Mira_Atella> (( timing! ))

[21:55] <@Grendel> ((wb!))
[21:55] <+Halo_V> "So yeah, whats the plan, or do you think I'll keep walking forward until someone starts shooting us?"

[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehehe I have a plan depending on how close we get ;) ))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((Well, Halo is leading this one, so all depends))
[21:59] <+Mira_Atella> (( yup ))
[21:59] <+Halo_V> "Hey boys" She says with a grin, no weapons in hand, at least so far.
[22:01] * +Mira_Atella keeps sure to hide the blades in her hands, jumping forward and a bit and draping an arm over Halo's shoulder, "I'm her sister, thought we could.. see the boss."
[22:01] * @Grendel blinks slightly as he attempts to calculate the result of this ruse.
[22:02] <@BradGM> ((well, charming your way in roll charm +10, conning or lying is at +10 as well))
[22:02] * +Mira_Atella looks back to Grendel, "Don't mind him.. he just does the pict recording."

[22:05] <@BradGM> Guard "Oh, you must be the new offworlders his Grace hired eh? You look better raised than that last bunch. You may enter."
[22:06] * +Mira_Atella giggles and hangs on Halo a bit more as they walk past, giving a wink to one of the guards, "Maybe he'll let you watch the pict later."
[22:08] * @Grendel keeps his mechadendrites close, struggling to figure out where he went wrong mathematically when calculating whether or not this ruse would work.
[22:08] * +Halo_V gives Mira a quick grope, before she slips off her shoulder.
[22:09] * +Mira_Atella giggles again, her face losing all sense of the jovial nature once they are passed the guards.
[22:10] <@BradGM> You enters inside into a small gardened section between the wall and manor proper.
[22:10] <@BradGM> There is no guard visible at the house's door as well
[22:10] * +Halo_V whispers in a quiet voice, "Where are we going?"
[22:11] * +Mira_Atella squints as she looks at Halo, "How should I know? This is all based on your intel."
[22:11] * +Mira_Atella doesn't look back, but speaks so that Grendel knows she is addressing him "Can you get a scan of the place?"
[22:12] <+Halo_V> "Well, you want to kidnap the Earl? Or what? What do want to do?"
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to know anything he can say about an assassination from 6 months ago."

[22:18] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can detect a guard arriving form teh sdie of the building, possibly in less than 15 seconds. You can detect the main door's lcok is a rahter simple mechanical desing, and that there is not type of trap present, nor is there anyone nin te entrance hall or near-by rooms; you cannot detect much on passed that, as the stone construction blocks your signal
[22:20] * @Grendel motions towards the side of the building. "Guard on the way. No traps that I can detect, and very few lifesigns, though the machine spirit is having trouble interacting with the stone walls."
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((guard,s arrivng form the left)
[22:22] * +Halo_V is prepared to gun down any arriving guards.
[22:23] * @Grendel looks to the right for any cover.
[22:23] <@BradGM> There is a few bushes and a tree, or the other side of the building
[22:24] * @Grendel points to the other side of the building. "That way."
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((what? no clever concealment rolls behind the tree?))
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((you sadden me))
[22:24] <@Grendel> ((Well, he does have his own branches...))

[20:58] <@BradGM> Halo, the woman is weargin a small backpack, but doesn't seems to be armed with any type of gun, pistol or otherwise
[20:59] * +Mira_Atella comes up next to the woman and leans on a table, looking at her, but not saying anything.

[21:01] * @Grendel stays back, letting his optical mechadendrite take in the rest of the tavern.
[21:02] * +Halo_V grins, showing nice white teeth, "You can inspect me anytime."

[21:03] <+Mira_Atella> "You are obviously not from here.. nice outfit, by the way.. but do you know the city?" She doesn't really look at the woman as she speaks, keeping her eyes on Grendel.
[21:04] <@BradGM> Grendel, a few patrons who did notice you seems taken back by your mechadendrite, but it seems more like an uncommon sight than a horrific vision. Most appear to be armed with las and SP weapons, not to mention wearing mesh and flak armoud of different composition
[21:04] * @Grendel looks for any signs of tech-heresy.
[21:05] * +Halo_V shrugs a little, "A little bit...I haven't been ... here long."

[21:08] * +Halo_V pauses at Mira's statement. "I like thrones. Tell me more."

[21:09] <+Mira_Atella> "You don't need to know about us to take the thrones, it's best to keep it that way. If you've made any contacts since being here that could give you more information on some... past events, the price you'll get will go higher."
[21:10] * +Mira_Atella she puts down 100 thrones on the table in front of Halo.
[21:11] <@BradGM> Grendel, you see that a man has non-Imperial grendaes, you also see that most weapons are in working condition, but the machine-spirt has been seriously neglected; quite a discontent, but the primitive nature of the world you fell victim to makes it a somewhat explainable affront to the Omnissiah, but not an acceptable one.
[21:11] * +Halo_V looks at the 100 thrones, and then begins to tell the story of the imbecile she came here to work for, including everything she knows about his business.
[21:13] * +Mira_Atella nods a few times as she listens, interjecting a bit at one point a few words about how blood could pay back wasted thrones if Halo steered them wrong, putting down another hundred whent he story is finished.
[21:13] * @Grendel frowns behind his mask, looking around, before studying the grenades, trying to resist revealing himself completely.
[21:14] <+Halo_V> "Steer them wrong how? Whats your play?"
[21:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehe Mira was subtly threatening that if Halo steered her wrong, she'd kill her ))

[21:17] <+Mira_Atella> "I think the drinks are over for the evening, if you'd like to introduce me to your previous employer." She pushes back from the table, giving a somewhat worried look as she looks back to Grendel as he seems to be focusing on something.

[21:20] <+Mira_Atella> "Is everything okay?" She keeps the somewhat worried expression as she addresses Grendel.
[21:21] <@Grendel> "Non-Imperial Technology, and failue to respect and take care of the machine spirits of Imperial technology."
[21:22] * +Mira_Atella rolls her eyes slightly, "We have somewhere to go."
[21:24] <@Grendel> "Oh? What data did you acquire?"
[21:24] * +Mira_Atella nods her head towards the other blonde, "She has someone that might be.. willing to give us more information on the city."
[21:25] <+Halo_V> "I should say that he does have a large number of burly guards. Just so you don't tell me I was holding back later."
[21:25] * @Grendel studies the woman. "Very well. It does not seem like we have much else to do."
[21:26] * +Mira_Atella thinks back to the inn. "Guards don't worry me."
[21:28] <+Mira_Atella> "Lead the way."

[21:29] * +Halo_V heads towards the mansion/residence/fort/whatever it was!
[21:29] * @Grendel follows, studying the new woman.
[21:30] <@BradGM> Halo goes back to the 2nd Square, close to the Duke of Maxwell's Keep in the center Square, and close to the manor house of the Earl of Gewr, her former employer.
[21:30] * +Halo_V moves with practiced grace, also, somehow guns have made their way into her hands.
[21:32] * +Mira_Atella notices the weapons, putting her hands on her legs near two of the knives, but not yet pulling them.
[21:33] * @Grendel checks his weapon while his optical mechadendrite examines Duke of Maxwell's Keep.
[21:34] <@BradGM> The Manor House is a 3 story walled building, as most are in the square, the door kept by a pair of local guards.
[21:35] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can see that the keep is a rahter well constructed defensive structure i the local fashion of feudal architecture.*
[21:36] * +Mira_Atella reaches out and puts a hand on Halo's shoulder, "Hold on.. we can do this more easily by using our natural assets to distract them."
[21:37] * @Grendel frowns, studying the keep, thinking such primitive defenses wound up doing no good.
[21:37] <+Halo_V> "Yeah...I have a way with people, though...they may still be upset with me." She holds in a grin
[21:37] <+Mira_Atella> (( are they close enough the guards can already see them clearly? ))

[21:57] <@BradGM> Halo, you're halfway there, maybe 10 meters out form the guards before both of them notice you walking wiht Mira tow.
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> (( hehehe I have a plan depending on how close we get ;) ))
[21:59] <@BradGM> ((Well, Halo is leading this one, so all depends))
[21:59] <+Mira_Atella> (( yup ))
[21:59] <+Halo_V> "Hey boys" She says with a grin, no weapons in hand, at least so far.
[22:01] * +Mira_Atella keeps sure to hide the blades in her hands, jumping forward and a bit and draping an arm over Halo's shoulder, "I'm her sister, thought we could.. see the boss."
[22:01] * @Grendel blinks slightly as he attempts to calculate the result of this ruse.
[22:02] <@BradGM> ((well, charming your way in roll charm +10, conning or lying is at +10 as well))
[22:02] * +Mira_Atella looks back to Grendel, "Don't mind him.. he just does the pict recording."
[22:02] <@BradGM> ((if you wanna go violent, they got to roll awareness agaisnt your surprise attack))
[22:02] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 46
[22:02] <+DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 76 Failure by 3 degrees!
[22:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( erm.. fate ))

[22:03] <+Halo_V> !dhroll 71
[22:03] <+DiceServitor> Halo_V: 89 Failure by 1 degree!
[22:03] <+Mira_Atella> (( it's a good ruse though lol ))
[22:03] <@BradGM> ((fate?))
[22:04] <+Halo_V> ((fate I guess))
[22:04] <+Halo_V> !dhroll 71
[22:04] <+DiceServitor> Halo_V: 36 Success by 3 degrees!
[22:04] <@BradGM> !dhroll 36
[22:04] <+DiceServitor> BradGM: 24 Success by 1 degree!
[22:04] <+Halo_V> ((Thats deceive))
[22:04] <+Halo_V> ((Oh, 4 successes, it shoulda been 81 target))
[22:05] <@BradGM> Guard "Oh, you must be the new offworlders his Grace hired eh? You look better raised than that last bunch. You may enter."
[22:06] * +Mira_Atella giggles and hangs on Halo a bit more as they walk past, giving a wink to one of the guards, "Maybe he'll let you watch the pict later."
[22:08] * @Grendel keeps his mechadendrites close, struggling to figure out where he went wrong mathematically when calculating whether or not this ruse would work.
[22:08] * +Halo_V gives Mira a quick grope, before she slips off her shoulder.
[22:09] * +Mira_Atella giggles again, her face losing all sense of the jovial nature once they are passed the guards.
[22:10] <@BradGM> You enters inside into a small gardened section between the wall and manor proper.
[22:10] <@BradGM> There is no guard visible at the house's door as well
[22:10] * +Halo_V whispers in a quiet voice, "Where are we going?"
[22:11] * +Mira_Atella squints as she looks at Halo, "How should I know? This is all based on your intel."
[22:11] * +Mira_Atella doesn't look back, but speaks so that Grendel knows she is addressing him "Can you get a scan of the place?"
[22:12] <+Halo_V> "Well, you want to kidnap the Earl? Or what? What do want to do?"
[22:12] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to know anything he can say about an assassination from 6 months ago."
[22:12] * @Grendel pulls out his auspex, examining the base as much as he can for electronics, life signs, etc.
[22:13] <@BradGM> roll awareness Grendel (don'T forget the +20 for the aupex) and then tech-use
[22:14] <@Grendel> !dhroll 70 (Awareness)
[22:14] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 26 Success by 4 degrees!
[22:15] <@Grendel> !dhroll 83 (Tech Use)
[22:15] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 37 Success by 4 degrees!
[22:18] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can detect a guard arriving form teh sdie of the building, possibly in less than 15 seconds. You can detect the main door's lcok is a rahter simple mechanical desing, and that there is not type of trap present, nor is there anyone nin te entrance hall or near-by rooms; you cannot detect much on passed that, as the stone construction blocks your signal
[22:20] * @Grendel motions towards the side of the building. "Guard on the way. No traps that I can detect, and very few lifesigns, though the machine spirit is having trouble interacting with the stone walls."
[22:20] <@BradGM> ((guard,s arrivng form the left)
[22:22] * +Halo_V is prepared to gun down any arriving guards.
[22:23] * @Grendel looks to the right for any cover.
[22:23] <@BradGM> There is a few bushes and a tree, or the other side of the building
[22:24] * @Grendel points to the other side of the building. "That way."
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((what? no clever concealment rolls behind the tree?))
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((you sadden me))
[22:24] <@Grendel> ((Well, he does have his own branches...))
[22:25] * @Grendel activates his stummer and starts to move.
[22:25] <+Halo_V> ((QUick disguise check to make Grendel look like a tree?))
[22:25] <+Halo_V> ((I kid, I kid!))
[22:26] * +Halo_V heads around the side of the building.
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> (( Smart girlI haen't go s out.. feel free to play com o so eje=buewaecans.The raptors, that is ))
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> within temptation eer
[22:29] <@BradGM> ((You all go 'round the building's edge as the gurd appears! Grendle, you detect taht he is making his way toward your side of the building
[22:30] <@Grendel> ((I'm not sure Mira is making sense...))
[22:30] * @Grendel motions the group to continue moving to avoid the guard.
[22:32] <+Halo_V> ((Low blood sugar? Total typing fail?))
[22:33] <@BradGM> ((not too sure m,self))
[22:33] <+Halo_V> ((Broken keyboard, or, cat running amok!))
[22:35] <@BradGM> ((I wonder if mira is hiding or follwoing Grendel..))
[22:36] <+Halo_V> ((not sure))
[22:37] <@Grendel> ((I am completely lost on that. I assume she's either following or killing the guard :) ))
[22:39] <@BradGM> (('Think Mira's BRB or AFK))
[22:42] * GMlooGMba (Gloomster@cpe-24-30-178-254.socal.rr.com) has joined #Shadowrun
[22:43] <@BradGM> ((no answer form PMs))
[22:45] <@Grendel> ((yeah, not sure what's going on, unless he passed out on his keyboard))
[22:45] <@BradGM> ((hmm..well that's odd))
[22:45] <@BradGM> ((yeah his last OOc message was weird at the end))
[22:46] <@BradGM> ((or well with way more typo that he rarely does))
[22:46] * Yumiko (~Nata@96.237.249.235) Quit (Ping timeout)
[22:47] <+Mira_Atella> (( sorry, internet had a bit there for a moment, I' m good with where we are ))
[22:47] <@BradGM> ((ah ok, so you're follwing Grendel or hiding in the front garden?))
[22:48] <+Mira_Atella> (( following ))
[22:49] <@BradGM> Grendel, you lead the others around the building and to the back garden, roll awarness again with the aupex
[22:50] <@Grendel> !dhroll 70
[22:50] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 100 Failure by 3 degrees!
[22:50] <@Grendel> ((I hate you dice))
[22:50] <@Grendel> ((no fate left))
[22:50] <+Mira_Atella> (( ouch ))
[22:50] <@BradGM> Grendel, the path is clear in the back
[22:51] <@Grendel> "Still not detecting anything this way..lets go, its too early to fight."
[22:51] <@BradGM> ((Mira, roll perception, thanks to your paranoia: Halo can roll it as well if she got it))
[22:52] <@Grendel> ((aka, "Its been going well so far, but I'm sure Grendel's going to fuck something up soon" roll))
[22:52] <@BradGM> ((yeah; at least it,s not wiht a grenade))
[22:52] <+Halo_V> ((Not Paranoid, very healthy mentally =P))
[22:54] <@BradGM> ((Yeah Mira: jsut straight perception))
[22:56] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 44
[22:56] <+DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 69 Failure by 2 degrees!
[22:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( last fate ))
[22:56] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 44
[22:56] <+DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 70 Failure by 2 degrees!
[22:56] <+Mira_Atella> (( meh ))
[22:58] <@BradGM> You follow Grendel into the confirmed isolated safety of the back garden and you walk straight into a small opwning where a table is present where a pair of couple, including the Earl of Gewr and his wife, are sitting and enjoying tea and pastries.
[22:59] * @Grendel frowns and studies the auspex, querying the machine spirit in binary.
[22:59] <@BradGM> you cfan roll concealment to perhaps hide yourslef from vire
[22:59] <@BradGM> ((*vire=view))
[23:00] <@Grendel> !dhroll 15
[23:00] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 15 Success by 0 degrees!

[23:03] <+Mira_Atella> !dhroll 54
[23:03] <+DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 49 Success by 0 degrees!
[23:05] <@BradGM> Despite the fortunately, non-fatal error of the machine-spirit you manage to eclipse the Earl and his guests by dissapearing into the garden's many high plants, thick bushes and hedgerows.
[23:05] * @Grendel speaks quietly, still examining the auspex. "What now?"
[23:05] <+Halo_V> ((Luckiest move ever?))
[23:06] <@BradGM> ((typical in my game that the critical roll is made))
[23:07] * +Halo_V whispers, "Well, I dunno what you all want here, but, it seems the Earl is right there, if you are assassins."
[23:07] <@Grendel> "Not right now."
