Subject: A Hint of help
YeOlde I too was lost in the rules when I first looked them over as they were quite a bit different then Shadowrun rules.
So I pushed the easy button and had Brom create Croaker  .
I gave him the basic concept of a Street Samarai from Shadowrun with all the cybernetics and stuff that I wanted, what stats I wanted better then others and some misc stuff about his gear, weapons and back ground and within 2 weeks I had my Nomad, Richard Talon, Street Name: Croaker.
Thank God for easy buttons

Subject: Rule's we don need no stink'in Rules
Seeing as how I do not know them, other then my experiance playing Shadowrun, it does not matter to me.
I'm in the game because of the great DMing, storyline and the nature of the Role play between the more active players and thier characters.
So like the title of this post it does not matter to me.
Oh yeah Brom please give Sui his luck back, he may need it by the end of this run.

Subject: An Object of Desire
As Dash, The Cap’n, Miss Willow and he moved deeper into the small town Fenris found himself thinking for really the first time what Captain Sung’s reason for being here was. He had been so excited with the Rocinante landing here and a good chance to get off planet he had given it no thought till now. Thinking to himself how hastily he had signed on not knowing the why’s he was about to ask when they finally came to the school house, Miss Brigit’s school house.
Once again Fenris could not help but think of the totally gorgeous green eyed beauty of a school teacher who he had maybe had a chance with for like 20 minutes when he first arrived on planet until she found out he was not the bad boy criminal she thought he was.
Now she was JW’s main squeeze, in his eyes but not in hers, so rumors hinted. Before Fenris could open his mouth to say anything they were into the school house and the Cap’n was speaking.
“Ma’am,” he drawled. “Name’s Wyatt Sung, and I was told you and I needed to talk. This here,” he motioned loosely with his right hand to Fenris and the rest.
“Are my crew: Ms. Willow Takahara, Mr. Sam Dash, and Mr…Wolf. If you’ve the time, we’d be mighty obliged to you.”
“Ahh we know each other Cap'n Hi, Brigit, nice day huh”
Oh you big oaf, nice day??, all you could come up with is, nice day, no wonder you hadn’t had a chance in hell of bedding her. Who am I trying to kid and then on top of his ‘social’ blunder Sung got his last name wrong.
What a great day this was turning out to be….NOT!!. What he wouldn’t give to be back in the street facing down those tong gunmen.....

So why had Mom not thought that he was worthy of dinner he had cut the wood for the fire or had he. Well maybe not but he was still hungry so why would she not feed him.
Hey Mom looks it’s a short bearded guy hi bearded guy.
As Kilgim bent over Maximus the stunned ex-gladiator slowly regained awareness as to real life, the Potion moving through his system healing both body and mind, found himself once again ready to fight.
“Thank you Kilgim, now go to Dapple the boy needs you.”
With those words said, Maximus found himself back on his feet sword to hand, facing the same problem as he had before two invisible foes. Only one other time had he fought a foe he could not see and again it had been in the arena, his eyes blind folded for a death match.
Taking a risk knew could get him killed Maximus closed his eyes and listened trying to hear what he could not see and thus attack but to his dismay along with being invisible it seemed the two were also silent. His eyes once again open he waited for the rest to move or to be attacked.....
(OOC" Ok I edited the post a little so he is not standing around with his eyes closed. how stupid was I to post that!!)

Subject: A Plan begins??
Night City – Lower West Side- March, Friday 13th, 2020, 300am
Croaker listened to the idea’s put forth by the others and right away saw a few possibilities. Jaimy had already dialed her solo friend and had that conversation started so he turned first to Firewind.
“Ok seems you have the most Euro’s so hold on to that for now lets see if Bulls Eye's contacts can help without spending that, it could come in handy if we really needed it.”
Then moving slightly to the front he spoke to Bulls Eye but made sure all could hear.
"Ok first thing we need is a place to rest and regroup
Bulls Eye you said you had a connection to a booster club which one and how good is your connect, you think we could crash at one of their safe houses. As I see it anyone looking for us hopefully will not be looking for us in among a Booster gang. Find out what their relationship to the Wild Things is and where their control zone is in relation to them we may be able to use that to our and theirs advantage. Also there’s a good chance they could get rid of this van with no trouble, so convince them if ya can”
Handing his Tribe brother the phone he took hold of the hand reaching back.
“Thanks for not bailing on us it’s been a long time with no family for me other then Peacekeeper, maybe after this is over we can see if we can find more of us.”
Letting Bulls Eye’s hand go he returned to sit at the back of the van and await the results of the phone calls in progress.....

Subject: Goodbye to a new Friend
Night City University, Medical Education Laboratory, Science Labs Building – Lower West Side – Night City – March, Friday 13th, 2020, 2:50am
His final words spoken to Spiff as all moved outside were for Croaker a hard thing to do as the Nomad would have liked nothing better then to paste the Lab’s walls with the fixer’s bloody brain matter. But even Croaker knew now was not the time to settle things between the two of them and Spiff should count himself lucky that Jack or Piper hadn’t fragged him during his rant.
With Firewind’s help the Nomad and Medic moved outside the Science Labs Building with Mery Deth’s body and transferred the body to Jack’s vehicle.
As was normal for this time of year, hell all year long to be honest, the weather hadn’t improved at all since they’d arrived at the college laboratory. The wind cold, wet and a down right pain in the a** reminded Croaker of his former girlfriend Harriette’s time of the month. Nice girl, sweet and innocent at times, loved her with all his heart, great in b** but being around her during that period and you risked life or limb.
The driver of the black SUV stepped outside, his dark clothes blending with the night as he made his way to the back hatch and opened it, the whole time eyeballing their surroundings, one hand on the submachine gun slung to his waist. Peacekeeper had followed the other two, on the heels of Bull’s Eye, but now stood at the top of the stairs, scanning the campus for any sign of trouble while the smaller of the two nomads went on to the van and slipped into the driver’s seat.
With the body trunked and Bullseye, Peacekeeper already in the van and Firewind waiting on him, Croaker looked for the last of the group and found him leaning against the buildings entrance. The Nomad could tell just by the look and manor of the Solo/Netrunner that he was not coming with them even before he spoke
“I’m not comin’ with you pardner”
Preacher said just loud enough to break through the wind. The solo had to hold his cowboy hat on his head the weather was so violent.
“I’m going to catch a cab to Crisis Medical and check myself in. Not sure I’d be much more than a liability during what you’ve got going on here in the future.”
Before Croaker could answer the Medtech spoke first
“You heard Jack”
Keahi had his hand held in front of his face as he squinted into the storm in order to see the injured solo clearly.
“You go off on your own and you’re dead.”
“Maybe. Fact is, I’m used to hidin’ from the big dog.”
Preacher offered his hand to the medtech.
“You done all you could for me, Firewind. I thank ya for savin’ my life.”
After Keahi had shook, Preacher offered his hand to Croaker.
“Good luck, Choombatta. ‘The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Pslam one eighteen, six.”
Taking Preacher’s hand in a strong grip Croaker knew that the Solo had made up his mind and nothing he could say would change it. As Preacher attempted to release his hand from Croaker’s grasp the big Nomad looked him in the eye and spoke.
“Good luck Preacher, I hope we see each other again in this life and not on the other side. If you need us for anything, call, you’ve got Peacekeepers cell.”
Releasing the man’s hand Croaker watched as Preacher without a response, holding his hat to his head moved himself down the street and away from the scene.
Croaker taking a last look around him could see that the van was already started up and just waiting for him and Firewind. Motioning to the Medtech to get in he watched the backs of DigitalScribe, Spiff, and Guardian heading off in a group in the opposite direction from Preacher.
now what the frag’s that all about Scribe and Spiff? Had he been wrong to trust the Media after all? Was he cutting some kind of backdoor deal with that a**h*** of a fixer Pushing those thoughts aside knowing that once again his paranoid nature was intruding, he climbed up into the back of the van.
“I don’t like this at all”
Keahi muttered just loud enough for Croaker to hear as the Nomad climbed up into the back of the bloody van bay. The tattooed face turned to the nomad once they were all inside, Peacekeeper included.
“We should have stuck together, egos be damned. Strength in numbers, ya know?”
The medtech was tired. The action had died down and despite this growing feeling of impending doom as the team split up; he was finally feeling the wear and tear of the night, both emotionally and physically.
Croaker in the van and as comfortable as he was going to get for the moment replied
“Firewind your right, Jack’s right, ego’s including mine be damned, and I will be the first to say I handled things in there very poorly to say the least. But after Spiff’s rant did you really think him and I were going to be able to work together? That with our unspoken dislike of the other and our war of ‘alpha dog’ we would be able to move forward on this. No I am sorry to say that right there was the problem from the start. Spiff came into this run acting as if Jack had given him the keys to the kingdom and he was now in charge well that I admit did not sit well with me but I tried to work with him until he left Peacekeeper and Guardian on that firescape and after that I could not trust him to back any of us up.”
Looking around at the others in the van he continued
“Look I got you and Preacher involved in this and it’s up to me to get us all out of this mess alive, I’m not perfect but I give a damn about keeping us alive. With Spiff it would have been for me different, as far as him getting fragged, and I could not allow his presence to cloud my judgment in any way.”
With his word’s spoken it was from Bullseye the next were said
“Where to?”
Bull’s Eye said as Croaker resolved the conversation with Firewind. Peacekeeper—being the best shot, and the most combat capable—had taken shotgun.
“Well, that my tribe brother is the million Euro buck question. The way I see it is like this first thing we need to do is dump this ride and get new wheels it’s a sure bet that its description is posted.
Second we need a crash pad until we hear back from Jack as to our target.
Third we need to do an inventory of all gear, weapons, ammo and Euro we have between us to see exactly where we stand. With Preacher gone its just the 4 of us, forget Jack and his I can’t help you crap, its up to the 4 people in this van to do whatever we have to stay alive. That means we need to combine everything we all own and we need to share contacts as well. So next question anyone got any contacts that can help us out myself I am sad to say only have Scribe and the rest are enemies. Its up to you three, any favors owed, any friends that would help us out.”??
Croaker leaned his head back against the van’s wall and awaited any postive answers.

Highnar had seen the end of the combat coming and had rested using the hilt of one War axe as a stand and was not surprised when Brianna approached.
"Highnar, how goes it with you. A good battle, eh? We shall have a drink together when this is through. Now we have to gather up what we want and get going to the town. Can't leave them to do this alone. This certainly was more than I expected that is for sure," Brianna stated as she laid a friendly hand on his shoulder.
"Best fight I have had in ages. What say you?"
Highnar yet still leaning on his axe smiled a weary yet honest smile through his long thick beard.
“Aye lass a fine battle indeed but not the best for me, now there was tis time in the halls of me father when a passel of them Dark Elves did com a calling. My we showed them how good we be at crafting steel as we cut them down with it ahhh me younger days for sure lass.”
A sigh of a good memory remembered and with it Highnar picked up his axe and looked to Brianna.
“Now lass, as you said, shouldn’t we be finding the rest of our group and be’s getting on to town there may yet be’in more these orc’s roaming around these parts. Lead on me lady”....

As Malius reached the stairs he was about to proceed downwards when he felt the hand of Geim on his shoulder.
"Here now Laddie. Let me treats those wounds of yours."
Within a few moments the aches and pains from the climb and the wounds he had taken both within and outside were healed and the Sylvari Ranger once again felt good.
“Thank you Geim you need not have done so, for though we travel together, I am but still a stranger to you all. But I thank you nonetheless for your healing and your timely arrival; if not for you and Thondrek I would have been dire pressed to stop that creature.”
With thank you’s once again having been given the Ranger followed by Geim and Thondrek moved downstairs only to find that the Bladesinger and Loda had moved inside. Not wanting to disturb them he watched and waited for one of the two dwarves with him to speak, or continue to the towers outside area.....

Topic: Two truths and a lie
Subject: aeeee Wrong!!
Sorry but #2 is the lie.
I was a "gang" leader but we were a non criminal one. Think of a bunch of late elementry aged kids to around the middle of high school guys hanging out on a Sat night with thier girls, beer, and wearing sleeveless jean jackets with a curled cobra and the name Hellions over the cobra. We were really a wanna be 'gang . Heck the 'gang' only numbered at any given time maybe 12-15 with GF's included.
Also I was a Paratrooper in the 82nd not the 101st as both units are seperate from each other.
Ok who's next??

Yes to Van and Lyskhala the correct answer is #2
Lyskhala I say your lie is number #1 as I know your Military or a Civilian contracter # 3 is true and what I do THINK I know of you #2 is very possible.
ok my new three (Boy I like this game).
1) In elementary school through Junior high I was the leader of a small teen 'Gang' called the Hellions.
2) I was once a Paratrooper of the 101st Airborne
3) I was once a Paratrooper of the 82nd Airborne

Yep #3 was the lie as I have never done anything truly criminal but shoplift a few books as a teen.
As for Skari I would say #1 cause who really likes school
1) I was a Drummer in a Heavy Metal band called Invasion
2) I was once a member of the Motorcycle club the Pagans (Think East Coast Hell's Angels)
3) I once worked at a Rock Club/Concert Hall in Baltimore City named Hammerjacks as manager of Security
And to Al I could of swore you said something about Tall Skinny women, but thinking back it could have very well been you saying you "don't" like them

OK my answers to these lies above.
Keeper is lying on #2
Alacrity is most definitely lying on #3 as least as much as I think I know him and that he mentioned his thing for skinny tall ladies while we were all in MD.
Draker is lying on #1
DarkAutumn is lying #1
Now as for me here goes…
1) I and my best friend once partied backstage with Lita Ford and she took us with her to her next show before flying us back home.
2) During Junior High at the Prom I dressed up in full custom as a girl to go there with my best friend as his date.
3) I and my best friend once stole a car and drove it 300 miles to go see a Heavy Metal concert.
EDIT: Ok seems I was rt on Draker but he must have just posted before me does that still count??
Also can we post to the game twice??

Topic: A Cold Day in Hell
Subject: Ya beat me to the post Brianna LOL
Staff Sgt Kane had been waiting for the Lt to suggest just this same thing but he had a better idea in mind already but Cpl Johannsen beat him to it in a way.
"Lt Keenan, Sir. May I offer an alternative plan offer them my services. Medic are usual seen as more neutral personal in any conflict besides I am female. Just an idea Sir."
“I have to agree sir in that we need to do a Face to Face with these soldiers but I have to point out that as unit commander your job is to stay safe as possible for as long as possible to complete the mission successfully. I have the same thought as the Cpl here that we need to send someone in that is less of a threat to them, but not the Cpl here. As our only medic she is next to you the most important member of this team, to send her in would be a bad call. So let me suggest an alternative that instead of you, myself or the Cpl entering the room we send in W/O Blake. My reason like Johannsen’s is straight forward those men in there have been here a long time and are quite possibly unhinged by whatever has happened here and seeing a women’s face right now may have a calming effect on them. Hopefully at the very least they will not feel as threatened then if you or I entered. Also she is an officer and that fact may help the men inside come forward it’s your call Sir.”
Kane hoped the Lt saw the wisdom of his idea, he’d been in many places and many fights and he had always seen what women’s face and presence could do to calm a scared and wounded soldier. He felt sure Blake could help them here...
