    Would this hierarch be someone we should know?

    Depends on if your characters did any homework on the city or have background there, but at very least, they may have heard of him in passing or by reputation.

    With my character being in the Silver Ladder, I would like to see if I might know who that is. (Intelligence+Politics)

    Phoenix is very familiar with him, and knows he was well respected, if almost feared, and didn't suffer challenges to his leadership lightly, leaving his sudden disappearance all the more baffling.

    Does he have a name or does he just go by the hierarch?

    He goes by the shadow name of Quadrangle. His true name is beyond you(and likely everyone else in the city).

    I'm going to say Birdsong, being relatively new to all of this and the city in general, has no clue who or what a hierarch is

  • Options
    cj iwakuracj iwakura The Rhythm Regent Bears The Name FreedomRegistered User regular
    If he's met any others in the city, they may have given him the gist, but if this is literally his first go at it, someone will clue him in. (Probably)

    I guess I kind of assumed that the four of us loosely knew of each other. Maybe sort of the daycare version of a cabal, but the councillium was waiting for us to really prove ourselves in any given direction before bringing us into the fold.

    That's also possible, though I don't recall if we had a consensus on that or not.

    Is this where I can use my Contacts merit to see I might know some Free Council members in the area?

    Sure, depending on your point of contact to them.

    I mean, I'm out here because I think Feynman had some contacts in the area with Thredonists, probably people trying to get as close as possible to the Trinity Test site, and other similar paraphernalia.

    As far as you know, the local FC aren't too familiar with your Legacy, though you've picked up a name in passing, a local hustler who goes by Pixie. You don't have know a point of contact to her, but you can always ask around.

    I assume I'm not going to be able to do much actual cold calling until we get out of this meeting, so I'd just offer it to the councillium (I assume this is the local councillium(I'm probably spelling that wrong, aren't I)) as a lead.

    It's relevant, so you could always bring it up. And Consilium, though I've never seen it spelled that way, and it makes sense too.

    Can I take a look at the map with investigation to see if I notice any interesting details?

    What would I roll to see if Hope knows anything helpful, or a Free Council who might?

    Based on her stats, her best bet is to socialize and/or coerce it out of someone, it's unlikely she has the connections to know offhand.

    Hope is going to try and make a good first impression. I don't know the exact roll, but it'll be a social stat + persuasion/socialize, so I'll roll 6 dice :P

    Unless someone else had stuff they wanted to try and finagle here, do we want to hit the streets?

    Hope received a lead on the local FC connection, so she'd be the cabal's best source of information. To the best of her knowledge, she's somewhere in the main casino hall.

    Did we travel to Quadrangle's place or are we back at the casino that we met Roger in?

    I think we are still in the casino we met with Norah/Robinson in.

    That's correct, failing any portal shenanigans I'm not aware of...

    I'm so glad I'm not playing my rhyming Malk in this game. Feels good to be able to play WoD without having to go to rhymezone to post.

    Phoenix isn't. I don't trust these people yet, and will not be giving them anything that has my name on it.

    What would I roll for trying to track down Pixie's contact info?

    Any active Mage sight would be a very big hint.

    Now that I've caught the post in question, I assume he's using his contacts? Is he focused on the mana issue, or trying to track her down?

    Yeah, I edited my post, but I can change it back. I guess my thought was that most mages are going to have an idea of their local mana situation, and that FC members would be more likely to be living on the edges of town. So I was hoping to get a hold of her and see if she had any useful info on mana outside the strip/downtown.

    It's fine, it would have drawn you to the same conclusion. Your contacts would have confirmed what you already suspect, that she's already there.

    Just want to apologize in advance, its been like 10 years since I played Mage so if I do something wrong, just let me know.

    Oh and also @cj iwakura we never did stat my bird, how do you want to do that?

    We'll wing it as needed, depending on what you're using it for. ('bdmtsh')

    Also, if he brought the bird along, that would definitely raise some eyebrows.
