    By the way, I'm going to retcon a little and have my guy cast Unseen Shield and Supernal Vision on himself before heading out for the day. In character reasoning being that you never know what could happen, and reading the disappearance article has caused a slight bit of concern after he deduced that whatever it was is targeting people related to the college.

    Unseen Shield: Success
    4d10.hitsopen(8,10)=3
    Spending one mana to keep it up for 24 hours. Now my character has 2 points of armor.

    Supernal Vision: Success
    3d10.hitsopen(8,10)=1

    P.S. Also, are we doing it so every day in the real world represents another day in the game world? Because my actions would probably be a lot different if this is the case.

    What's the man's aura look like? Does it indicate any emotional state?

    Not necessarily. Only if in game events require. More likely, we'll take as much time in the thread as needed to resolve a scene, then time will pass as needed.

    A Wits + Investigation roll for that would be helpful, Hermenegilde.

    Also, on-campus offices are currently locked, unless you have a means of accessing them.

    Sure.
    Wits+Investigation = critical failure :)
    But I was thinking more along the lines of having someone hand me the relevant papers. By asking nicely. :P

    Closed on saturday ? That's ok, I'll come back.

    That would be more likely to succeed, especially with your status.


    Manipulation + Socialize.

    More within my skills too, and more in character. But if its closed, its closed. Nothing I'm willing to do about that.

    The offices with the paperwork are closed, but there are still staff around who might be able to help you access them.

    Already my lack of social skills is making itself apparent. I'm reserving what little social tricks I have for later. I'm just talking to him for now and seeing how he reacts. The brother is a lie by the way, I don't really have one.

    You encounter a handful of people familiar with Alan, mostly from familiarity with the incident, who willingly contribute to the signing process.

    Updates may be sporadic over the next week or so, so please bear with me.

    I have access to a library PC until my proper connection is fixed, so I'll be keeping tabs here and there.

    Wits + Expression fail

    I am not poetic enough.

    Persuade + Manipulation + Willpower (2)

    Getting into Alan's room.(don't know if the cards could count as talking equipment for the purposes of this roll, don't care)

    CJ, would it be possible for me to try to spend a couple of hours with Ms. Fields attempting to cut a deal on this employment opprotunity? My character would be trying to seek highest possible pay (his time is valuable to him), consistent hours, and maybe some benefits (like some basic health insurance if the job involves anything remotely dangerous). I'm going to roll assuming I spend at least one hour in negotiation, and if you allow me to I'll spend as much time as I can trying to talk her into this deal.

    Cutting a Deal with Ms. Fields:

    Manipulation (2) + Persuasion (1) + Equipment (0?) + Spent 1 Willpower point (3) = 6 dice

    6d10.hitsopen(8,10)=3

    Yeah, so I think this will represent my opening salvo and gauge her response to it. Could make for interesting roleplaying as I might be able to work my vice and virtue into this.

    You'll have to trust me that something happened behind the scenes.

    In fact, I heartily recommend everyone trust me in general...so much easier that way :P

    I would roll Manipulation+Empathy for this, but before that, does my knowing his emotional state through the aura give me any bonuses to the dice pool?

    An extra two dice for any rolls where his emotional state would be a factor.

    The cards could offer you a benefit in a social action if they're used towards persuasion(one dice).


    Unless that piece of equipment counts for more, not familiar with its stats offhand.

    Thank you.

    Persuasion + Manipulation + Equipment(1) + 2nd to last box of Willpower = (2)

    Is the cop going to bother to contest this?

    Anyway, I think Josh's gonna hit the sack later.

    Empathy + Manipulation Failure.
