Louie's currently intently listening, but keeping his mouth shut for this one because Gurstag seems to have the more diplomatic play, and we want as much info out of these guys as we can get
Just to be sure we're fully compromised from all sides, tomorrow Gurstag and Louie should probably go find the Wiccans, and pledge our cooperation and loyalty to them as well!
OK, I know that the Technocracy involves Mages somehow, but what can I roll to see what Louie knows about it?
OOC:...don't know the lore behind the White Wolf games in-depth, but I seem to remember something along the lines of Mages coming in somewhere above Werewolves in terms of "do not piss off"? So, that should be fun to navigate

It's something he could research, but all he would know offhand is they have a dangerous reputation, even among Mages. Anyone outside Tremere would have no idea who they are apart from maybe Nossies.
Gurstag rather thinks the Technos or whatever are attempting to set us up against the Wiccans, as it doesn't sit right that they'd come to us to access Wiccan information.
Surely you'd go to the others first, especially as there's no guarantee (and no assurances made) that we can keep them safe from the Wiccans.
What do I roll to discern whether they actually want Wiccan tech or are just planning to play us off against each other
Looking at the traits, it looks like non-Auspex would be perception+empathy, which Gurstag is also not skilled in
Louie's got 1 in Perception and 2 in Empathy, and he's been listening along intently to all this. Can he try to pick up if he can hear anything behind these guys aren't saying?

Is he going to put his Auspex to use?
Might as well; these guys assume the worst of the Tremere anyway, so if nothing else Louie might as well flash his eyes at them to make them remember who they're messing with. Do I include my Perception and Empathy in the roll/what'd the Challenge look like, please?

Auspex+Perception+Empathy, challenge of 3, but he will have to stare at the object of his scrutiny, if only briefly.
Liana's aura is like nothing else you've seen, two-toned white and black, crackling with shadowy tendrils. She's definitely neither mortal nor Kindred. As far as you can tell, they're being straight with you, though you can't be sure what the real motive behind their honesty is.
I'm good to leave from here and discuss things in the car real quick (let Gurstag know about the aura I saw/tell him about Louie's desire to reach out constructively to the Wiccans in all this)
How long will it take to drive back to the Regentia, assuming nothing else goes wrong tonight (and assuming that's where we're going...)? And how much of the night will we have left after arriving?

They should have time, but they would have to retreat to their havens right from there.
Louie is gonna be sitting out in the car waiting for Gurstag to arrive, at which point I figure they'll (attempt) to drive to the Regentia, and Louie will catch Gurstag up on what he thinks they're dealing with from Liana

He can also try good old fashioned persuasion, or a bit of dominate.
Looks like I have three Manipulation and one Intimidate, or two Leadership (but hard to see how that could be brought to bear).
I can Command with Dominate, but it's unclear how I'd get the information in one word.
Maybe 'Spill'.

It can also be used in conjunction with a persuade attempt to give you an extra die roll.
So at this point, I think Gurstag slams down another $50 to try for the info with Manip+Intim+Dominate
And then gets the shopkeeper to 'Forget' what happened tonight, with the same

So that's 5 successes I believe
Also, would it be possible to try to sneak a closer look at the woman in the corner to better see what her deal is?
He can make a static Occult+Intelligence to see how much he remembers.
For the woman, Auspex+Alertness+Perception, challenge of 3.
(But he will have to scrutinize her to use Auspex.)
Geth roll 4d10 for Getting a Good Look at Sneaky Sally
So three for remembering the fracture and Wiccans.
I can roll the other one too, but there's a reason Gurstag doesn't have Auspex.
You're vaguely aware of there being a divide shortly after the Vienna debacle, but the specifics don't come to mind.
Something is very off about her aura, but you can't quite pin it down. You're fairly sure she's not mortal, though.

All that zero Auspex

I totally forgot to answer this... as far as you can tell, it's still there, though you could just ask to buy it.
I can Command with Dominate, but it's unclear how I'd get the information in one word.
Maybe 'Spill'.
It can also be used in conjunction with a persuade attempt to give you an extra die roll.

I think the only roll I've succeeded so far is identifying a book.
There aren't any other people are in the pawn shop, are there.
