The Third Forumised Shadowrun Adventure!

Post by **Joose** » March 18th, 2009, 19:22

Right, now ive emailed it to myself, rather than someone random...

Before I post the astral stuff, I need an astral perception roll deej.

As for the matrix stuff: The main node actually has open access for guest accounts, so people in the club can use its matrix connection. You can do a matrix perception roll from here, or you can try for security or admin access (with the rolls you just did). Whilst you are here with guest privileges though:

The main club node is sculpted to look similar to the club itself. The main differences are the size (the node makes it look bigger) and the fact that the real dance floor is not filled with transparent floating flowers, all shining in different colours. A number of the clubbers are logged in, this being the public part of the node. There's also several displays around the walls showing live video images from the club itself. On one of them, you can see the team. Loud music is playing, mimicking that in the club.

I'd like to go for Security access if possible, and I'd also like o spoof my address from a certain node in Germany if possible;

Spoof: 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5 = 3 hits

Matrix perception: 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6 = 4 hits

And trying to hide myself from any Spiders waching: 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 = 1 hit, nads!

Still running cold VR, bur will be ready to Hit Sim if needed.

Assense (4) + Intuition (4): 8 dice

2, 4, 6, 5, 6, 5, 3, 2: 4 hits.

Being a club, the astral space here is quite lively, with the patrons excited auras bouncing around the place. There doesn't seem to be anything that interesting about the astral space here in general: its got quite a strong "taste", like any club would, due to the large amounts of emotion slopping around. There's an upstairs area with a slight taint, as if something more unpleasant happens there. The patrons themselves are also fairly generic, although you do see a couple of...odd things. A small number of the clubbers have slightly more intense Auras than the others: they don't look Awakened, but they don't look exactly mundane either. One of them is approaching you, from the direction of the door. On closer inspection, her aura looks almost like some sort of vine is growing around it, like Ivy on a building. Flicking back out of Astral, you see that the approaching aura belongs to the woman from the queue outside. She's staring at you quite intently, with a slightly unfocussed look to every part of her face except her eyes. If it were not for her eyes, you would think she is sleepwalking.

The spoof seems to work, and you get security access reasonably easy.
You can see two other nodes connected to this one: one appears to be the security node (cameras, alarms and the like) and the other is a hidden node, authorised access only. With security access, you can get into the security node fine, but not the other one.

I had an angel once, with wings, she was pretty, I was 5 and her hair came out. I brushed it. Who are you looking for? Five! Six! Sex? a woman...seven, eight, hate or fate...I guess we wait, and see..

She plants a small kiss on your forehead, and wanders off. Just as she starts to move away, she looks back at you, suddenly serious, and points at a guy at the bar. You glance at him, and when you look back, she's dancing with another guy on the dancefloor, both of them millimeters away from each other.

Leland pulled a mentalist.

It's hard to pull a girl when she's off her tits.

I get the feeling the drug heightens or sort of awakens magical energy in the mundane maybe.

I have a question about mentor spirits though, how do they manifest themselves in the game world? Do hey occasionally appear, say around their students in the astral plane? Would someone assensing me be able to tell my mentor spirit if they got enough hits at least?

Well this drug seems to me to be magically active. Aside from making you crazy, it seems to give you an intense aura. I think I should ask my teacher about the aura, because I haven't seen anything like it before. Anyways, should we be proactive in trying to find the dealer working the club or finding out about the suits? If I go Astral, we'll definitely want to find a booth in a quiet corner so my motionless body won't be quite as obvious. I haven't noticed any mages or adepts in here, but the is a busy place in astral space.

They tend not to, being more a "guiding horse" that you feel pushing you to do one thing or another. You can always go off for a meditate and "commune" with your mentor spirit, but its not like phoning someone for a chat. There's nothing to say that a mentor spirit *cant* appear, but you would probably notice before anyone else. If they were to appear, it would be in some manifestation appropriate to them; some are obvious (Bear looks like a bear) some less so (yours would probably look like some sort of warrior-guy).

Note that Spirits have grown up with the rest of the world, so although they often look Olde Worlde, they don't have to.

Oh, hell yeah. But then, with *enough* hits you can find out pretty much anything magically related to a person, and a bunch of mundane stuff too.

OK, I'm just working out in my head what the chances are these drugs can allow mundane to see the astral plane or something similar.

So what's the plan guys? Are we going after the suits or the dealer?

I doubt we're going to get much on the suits without a damn good cover story, but I think the fact that we've seen them in here is useful enough information. Wouldn't mind knowing what they're doing though. I don't know if this drug is related, but it can't harm finding out more about it. Maybe you could go with a curious mage angle Leland, and look for info on the drug, and Jon and I can send out some feelers for Kitty?

Post by **deject** » March 20th, 2009, 17:16

OK, let he try again with the girl, if nothing else I'll try to see if there is a dealer in here so I can get a sample and mark the guy.

Yeah, what is everyone doing now? You've all left it a bit open and vague

Assuming the high as a kite chick is dancing, I'll start dancing with her, and if I get a chance I'll ask her what she's on.

You got some good stuff looks like, where can I get some?

Charisma (4): 4,4,6,5, 2 hits

This place is known as a place where up and coming Yakuza types can pick up classy Japanese girls to boost their status a bit, so I'm going to do the same job on Jon. Pretending to be his PA I'm going to make out he's got a thing for Japanese girls and he's single, so I'm screening potential partners. Oddly enough the dream girl fits Kitty's description precisely, so I'm hoping that by asking for someone in general, people might offer informatino about her in particular without realising that's what I'm after. Make sense? Like I said, I'm happy to spend enough cash to make it clear I'm not a cop. I suppose I'll also be paying for all the drinks too since they're supposedly on the 'company' account.

Analysing this secret node then Mr Joose, not trying to hack just yet.

Computer+Analyse+cerebral booster = 9 dice

2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6 = 1 hit

so I'm going to take time and do a second sweep of it

1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 = 3 hits, better
