Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
I would prefer team 1. I would use my broadcast to monitor com frequencies, which I could actually “give” another player my field comp and let them use it by connecting the com feed to it.
I would like to say we checked the place out in advance “flashback style.” Myself and maybe 1 other on the second team, and installed a bug that would transmit their video to my field comp too. (Digit isn’t going to enter the building yet, as someone could possibly be aware of his face now).
If team two, I would do something simialar. Connect to ISS comms and find a nearby surveilance feed to tap into no flashback. Monitor as much of an area as is needed or possible.
Either way, I will add my contact Sam Koch (ISS dispatcher) to team two. If we cause a disturbance, he will try to route ISS security from the auction to the disturbance.

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
I'll copy and paste my ideas here to make them easy to find.
OK, revised pitch for plan. Team A: Kincade does the break in while Temp, Harris, and Fisk infiltrate as a buyer and her security to start bidding wars in the items selling before the book so as to buy Kincade time and so Harris can lift passcodes from the fences mind. Team B: Joey, Magnus and Digi start trouble for ISS buy setting off security in buildings, riling up the homeless or whatever else they can think up.
So Temp, Mag, and Fisk as buyers, Digi on cyber duty for Kincades B&E.
The rest on distraction?

If Digi goes team A and we send in a team to be a bidder+security one of them could maybe plant the bug. And if Digi is hacking Harris can aid in the cop diverting.Digit Havoc wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 9:48 am I would prefer team 1.

This is pretty solid. Whichever option puts Digit on the bigger negative is advantageous. His bonus offsets the -4 scene penalty.Harris LaVode wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 12:13 pm I'll copy and paste my ideas here to make them easy to find.

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
Ok, So what we're looking at is:
Challenge 1: Temperance, Fisk and Magnus infiltrate to plant Digi's bug and draw out the auction. Try not to really buy anything!
Joey and Digi are at the car, Digi hacking Joey on lookout/interference.
Kincade doing the B&E
Challenge 2: Harris and Zeke distract the cops. I'm thinking bribe local gang to cause a ruckus outside but near cordoned area.
So who's in lead on the ops?

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
I've got a d10+4 streetwise so with a decent assist roll I should kill that challenge with ease. And if it goes real badly only two of us are pegged by the cops. Where as if shit hits the fan in the heist part you'll probably need all the support we can muster.
At least that's my train of thought.
Also, Matthew I think I should take lead on the 2nd challenge.

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
Harris on lead for either challenge. Kincaid for the other. Between the streetwise and the lockpicking, they've both got enough to make the -4 penalty go away, and the -2 turns into a +2. I'd suggest Harris for challenge 1, since I'd like to see a higher die type go after a bigger penalty. Narratively speaking, though, Kincaid's lockpicking would probably do better to get us in on the 1st challenge.
My suggestion for division of labor:
Challenge 1: Kincaid (lead), Fisk, Temperance, Digit, maybe Zeke.
Challenge 2: Harris (lead), Joey, Magnus. No sense in leaving just 2 guys to handle an entire challenge. Dice rolls can go wrong, particularly if we split up as if success is assured on one or the other.

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
I totally agree that narratively it makes sense for kincade to lead on 1. The goal is to get him in and get the book, everyone else is facilitating. As for team two maybe swap Zeke in two and put one of the beat sticks with the buyer group. That way our combat guys are spread out if the next batch of challenges drops a combat one.Edwin Fisk wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 12:15 am Harris on lead for either challenge. Kincaid for the other.

So, happy to be the face of the buying team, it's in character, I could just be another buyer or a go between. Might make sense to plant two buyers if we're hoping to drive a bidding war.

Zeke can blow shit up. That should make a distraction. And if something sniffs magic around, that would be more distraction. (He can conceal or not, depending on what we need).

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
Lets call blowing things up option C. Using magic to pull them off is a good idea. From the way I see it, narratively we need a fast short term distraction to get the team in unseen by the ISS then something bigger to pull them away when we exit. I was gonna work on the second pull by inciting gang activity which Digi then calls in to his ISS guy. So you and Joey can work the first pull with your narratives.

Support: Zeke +1,
Edit: Of course the two leeds I have here now are just my suggestions.
So, Mag and Digi are obvious leads to me in those two. Mag for both skill match up and narrative position. Digi for skill match but I can see Fisk leading it well in a chase and avoid narrative. I think there are a number of ways we can try and take C2 as far as leads go. Off the top of my head a few are: a look out gives us a jump on reacting, Temp convinces Sebby they're here for him so his guys try and take out the cops and give us cover, or my least favorite (consequences wise) Kincade leads and we fight the cops.

Kincaid can help or lead in the 2nd or 3rd challenge. He has a d10+4 for Shooting for the 2nd challenge and then the d6+4 for Lockpicking again for the 3rd challenge - BUT it makes more sense for Kincaid to be in Challenge 2 as they are charging the vault where he is at.

Call it how you see it. I'll risk C2 if we need it, but I'm not really hot on any of the skills involved for it. Or am I misunderstanding? Does the list of skills only apply to the lead character, and the rest of us can use whatever is appropriate (but still at the listed penalty)?

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
You can use any skill that you can narrate into something helping against that challenge. So, for example, Zeke is using Spellcasting to take out drones, opening holes in the surveillance (or, alternatively, drawing the drones away from the rest of the escaping team).Temperance wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 11:04 am Call it how you see it.

BTW, Zeke got a +1 to whoever the lead is on Team 3.

Kincade can completely neg it. And fits narratively. I think Fisks drive + is better than Digis computer +. Maybe he leads C3 and Digi can hack the drone system in support to feed drone locations to Fisk and Zeke. Maybe Temp can back Kincade by convincing the BM guys to fight the cops and myself and Joey also back Kincade somehow...Edwin Fisk wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 11:21 am Fisk can take lead on challenge 2.

Challenge 3

Leaving us last 5 to hit challenge two since we can't get any more success out of 3 and would need 4 to get another out of 1. Also narrative wise only one person is in position to help Magnus.
OK Fisk has Digi feeding him coordinates so, maybe go with that. I kinda feel like we inadvertently cheesed this round a bit by rolling challenges before support tho.

I think our biggest problem is none of these have combat skills so we're limited on who can lead these well.

Challenge three can probably be done by myself or Temp with a bit of contact help, again no downside if we don't make it. Those other two tho… we'll be lucky to only get one enemy out of this.
Actually I have a good narrative Idea for the 4th for using Harris' social skills to find us a garage to lay low in. I can use my contact on it for support as well.

How does using contacts work again? I rolled for Challenge 4 for this one, but my narrative can easily work for Challenge 1, and I kind of had the same thinking as you did (Zeke could take care of it easy), so I'll change it up.

Contacts can assist with a task. Your contacts are all considered to be d6 at the moment I think (no wild die).Zeke Walker wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 2:38 am How does using contacts work again?

Otherwise, they roll to support a challenge just like players do. Support rolls suffer from the same negatives as the challenge. If you think you can handle 1 & 3 with a single player then I recommend piling up contacts on Challenge 4 and focusing players on #2, you'll still need the d6s to explode but they might help.

Looking a bit grim though. Need to make 10's before the penalty on challenge 2, and need 18's on challenge 4!

Go ahead and support on one or two and try and get us anouther success.Temperance wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 4:32 pmGot it, I'll take 3 if you want me to, or support on 2.Harris LaVode wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:02 pm Round 3, 4 Challenges and we are Up 4 for our total.
I think our biggest problem is none of these have combat skills so we're limited on who can lead these well. OK, so I think Zeke can take challenge one solo pretty easily and if he fails there's no downside. It also fits well narrative wise. Challenge three can probably be done by myself or Temp with a bit of contact help, again no downside if we don't make it. Those other two tho… we'll be lucky to only get one enemy out of this.
Actually I have a good narrative Idea for the 4th for using Harris' social skills to find us a garage to lay low in. I can use my contact on it for support as well.
Looking a bit grim though. Need to make 10's before the penalty on challenge 2, and need 18's on challenge 4!
Think we're gonna get tagged this time unless someone plays a blinder.

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
Got you one success, which gives +1 on Kincaids roll, making it an 18, so an additional success

Re: The Flop House (OOC Chat)
Tribe: Parry for mers is 6. Also you got a 4 on your first Spirit roll, I think that is okay. Cover would have added +2 but lack of cover is not a negative. Keep the benny.
