Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
To keep my head straight, I am going to have to do this in two posts. This post will be dedicated to responding to OOC thread posts, in case anything urgent came up. Following this, I will start a separate post for discussing XP, downtime usage, and moving things forward.
After this, I will finally, get to anything I missed in the IC thread. I also know I have a couple of PMs waiting on me, which I will get to subsequently.
Thank you for your patience with me all.
fyi, the thrones we receive goes up by our rank in the class
milo should get 750 thrones each time money is awardedNo, it's not, that's why these niceities are treasures to be guarded .
The arbites are the police, they're on our side .
@bennosuke id like to declare, with your permission of course that the molotov launcher is basically a cheaper standalone version of the aux GL, with the same range but using firebombs
IF we are focusing on a fire bomb launcher, that functions like a grenade launcher or similar, we would probably need to discuss separate stats ect.
@Bramble: Please clarify
Just a quick question on that, but if this game went on for another couple of years and we got enough experience that you took us into Ascension territory, would Inquisitor be an open Ascension career pathway, or no?
@bennosuke the post of leonardo lysergo and his daughter lili is in downtime. i just had alot to say, so i got it out
also, please check my character sheet, as ive been working on stuff there
Okay. Think that should do it. Now onto the fun stuff, giving out XP. See next post.Spoiler: Games I am Currently RunningSan Francisco by Night (Vampire the Requiem 2E)

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
@bennosuke
afaik, if we were going into pg 125 of the corebook, it says you may increase the thrones given according to gm fiat. so if the gm would be so kind, bats eyelashes we could use the extra moolah. i know milo certainly could use it for picking up his alter ego, maxima gilder
also, according to inquisitors handbook pg 16, milo should have started with double his starting thrones as he is a noble born, and his monthly income counts as nobility
i was discussing a firebomb launcher, but that can wait, milo would prefer the wrist flamer now, and inquire about getting the molotov launcher built later
as to the changes on my sheet, i was just using my sheet for a wishlist and stuff category. should you wish to grant any of it to milo, i would consider it a blessing
milo was planning on cooking up a noble gunrake alter ego, though for what i had no idea

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Well, it has been a real long time since I gave out XP, so will probably be a little generous here. Also note, that some players have been very good at reminding me to give out XP in the moment, so if it seems like it took me forever to get you this post, it's because I've double checked myself in reading all the way through the OOC thread and the IC thread to make sure I am neither shorting anyone, nor giving them double dipped XP.
Marcella- 825
Milo-810
Hound- 775
Arl- 775
Orla- 535
Along with the above. I will heal 1 wound from each character for the end of the scene, even though downtime will be less than a day. As it is the end of the scene, all FP will be returned for all characters. Please see your character boxes, for these updates.Spoiler: Games I am Currently RunningSan Francisco by Night (Vampire the Requiem 2E)

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Alright. So I will hold off on starting the next scene till I have heard to everyone about how they want to use their downtime and if they want to spend XP. My understanding is later this day the group is going to be going after Drimmle. Because of this, there are no thrones gained, or changes beyond what I am providing above.
Replying to Bramble:

In regards to the alter ego, I swear there is text in the core book or Inquisitor handbook on this. But I couldn't find it. Do you know where this is?
@All: Lastly, here is the link for OOC thread II, since we are on the last page of this one. Please please please, before you post anything else in the new thread, please first post your character sheet and background/fluff. Feel free to reply to all the above as well, but I greatly appreciate easy access to your character fluff and sheet at the beginning of the OOC thread.Last edited by Bennosuke; 2023-08-15 at 07:40 PM.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Sweet, thank you!
A question, not to saddle you with more things to deal with, but do you remember how I used Marc's Trade (Merchant) in place of Inquiry? Two questions:
A) There are no further increases for that throughout any of the Psyker progressions, as far as I know. Given she's Rank 5 now, would I be able to spend 100 exp to get the next +10% advance on it?
B) Would this be justification for her moving from 'Supine Class' (on page 124) to the 'Trading Classes', due to the descriptor of it being 'those that buy and sell or have specialist trades with which to make their living' ? So at Rank 5 (as per Rank increase) she'd be getting ~160 thrones a month."Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

milo will be going into saboteur from salvation demands sacrifice
he will take tech-use, stealth, chem-use, disguise, and concealed cavity, for a total of 600 xp
also, milo would like to pick up a cut-down double barrel shotgun that fires slug rounds (basically the equivalent of manstoppers, but in a shotgun)

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Downtime for Orla will involve looking for a better gun (because that cheap pistol jammed on her). I presume the Interrogator has guns at the safe house so I suppose let me know if I need to spend money on it.
Will sort out xp after work.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Thank you. How do you see this alter ego differing from Milo, and how do you see him using it? I would suspect such an alter ego would take time to develop and embed within society.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Fair enough. Orla will see if she can find anyone she's dealt with before. Will try to get a Hand Cannon from the Corebook (p.130) as it's cheap anyway (65 thrones).
Inquiry test vs. Fel 41 (+10 if Peer Underworld)
(1d100)[24]
If getting a new gun doesn't take too long she'll try out her room and take a nap.
Advances
Security (100)
Ciphers (Underworld) (100)
Search (100)
Hardy (100)
Rapid Reload (200)
Deadeye Shot (100)Last edited by Haval; 2023-08-16 at 08:33 PM.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
milo plans to use maxima to gather information on the spire and possibly drimmle. where milo is calm and collected, i plan on playing maxima as a mercurial hothead, quick to anger, slow to forgive, and dismissive of the lower classes. for starters, milo will walk around in the midhive to get used to his persona before taking it up any higher into the spire. he might consider taking marcella along, to tell him how hes acting
i imagine maxima walks with a strut, peering down his nose at people and being a general SOB.
here are some of maximas vocal prompts
"It is of no consequence to me" - to indicate a sense of confidence and superiority.
"I shall not be questioned" - to assert your authority and position.
"This matter is beneath me" - to dismiss someone or something that is not worthy of your attention.
"I have no interest in such menial tasks" - to express your disinterest in completing mundane tasks.
"My family's reputation is above reproach" - to emphasize the importance of your noble lineage
here is maximas character art

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
That'd be cool. As she's got Medicae, Chem-use and Scholastic Lore (Chymistry), I'm thinking she gets into trading medical and biotech supplies. She can now speak High Gothic, the language of the wealthy and ennobled, so that helps too.
Marc has 1,005 exp to spend. This'll be the last big 'psyker blob' of advances she takes, as she's got about 1,600 exp left until Rank 6, so that'll be 1,600 spent on skills advances.
Advances:
Medicae +10 (100)
Weapon Training (Basic SP) (100)
Speak Language (High Gothic) (100)
Discipline Focus (Telepathy) (200)
Mind's Eye (200)
Mind Scan (300)
Downtime:
SpoilerIf you're allowing 1 slot of 'downtime' the last way you offered 3 slots of downtime during our last exp expenditures/downtime, Marc is going to use her improved medicae rating to provide a medical service and make a house-call. She's got equivalent of +60 now (which is 'rare' availability per page 152) which grosses 150 thrones, with the 10 throne expenses for 140 thrones net. If you're fine with that.
If that proceeds, she'll then buy:
- Stub Automatic (Plentiful - No roll needed) - 50 thrones.
- 2x boxes of bullets (40 bullets) divide them into 4 magazines she'll store in her backpack - 2 thrones.
- Suppressor for her pistol (plentiful) - 10 thrones.
- She'll buy a ladies suit (nice shoes, stylish skirt, white blouse, jacket, feminine version of a neck tie etc) - Book says they're abundant and variant in cost, so I'll say 30 thrones for a nice, stylish ladies suit. Nothing fancy; just prim, proper and reliable. She'll wear this to her medical house-calls.
- Another pair of black "work clothes" (full-body overalls, kneepads, sturdy boots, vest, gloves etc this is her secret police outing clothes) - 10 thrones.
= 102 thrones spent, 38 thrones left to add to her existing 17 thrones. (so 55 thrones total)
However, if this displease you, then she'll just take a bubble-bath and relax for the afternoon/evening. Perhaps take Orla to a mass to help the filthy unbeliever save her soul.
On second thoughts, this is a bit much. I'll do a single Equipment search roll as her down-time and leave the hustlin' till a longer downtime.Last edited by BananaPhone; 2023-08-17 at 02:20 AM.

Inquiry-Substitute: Trade (Merchant): (1d100)[38] vs TN 46 'Average' gear finding roll. (26 base + 20 Bennesokue remarked last time we get for being in a Hive)
Su-weet, she finds one.
Hey Milo, can Marc borrow about 270 thrones? She'll pay it back next downtime.Last edited by BananaPhone; 2023-08-17 at 02:16 AM.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
@bennosuke
i did a little eyeballing, and milo should have significantly more moolah than now
milo started with 326 throne gelt, doubled to 652, and then the 1000 gelt from his two months income as hes noble born
so currently milo is sitting on 1232 thrones
@bananaphone milo will loan you the 270 gelt. this is your last loan, before i start getting paid back

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
It's the only loan . She didn't borrow anything from his last time, she changed her purchases.
Although...*ponders*...what about making it an even 310 gelt loan?"Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
Hah fine fine. But this is the first, she didn't borrow any from him earlier. She was going to, but her purchases changed so she didn't need to anymore.

Re: OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice
@Bennosuke:
Marc will sell her Talon Mk 3 Autopistol for 35 thrones, has 17 thrones normally, borrowed 270 thrones from Milo. That's 322 thrones total.
She then passed her roll to find a Vanaheim Assault Shotgun from page 134 of the Inquisitors Handbook and she'll buy it (300 thrones), along with 6x boxes of 20 shotgun shells (6 thrones) and make 8x magazines of 15 shells each for her new shotgun.
This leaves her with 16 thrones and an automatic shotgun.Last edited by BananaPhone; 2023-08-17 at 02:17 AM.

Hey all. Thank you for the patience. Birthday weekend so a little busy... for once just having fun. I am going to stop following this thread now that all have posted in the OOC II thread. I recognize I have much to reply to here, which will be approached in the OOC II thread.
