//File 0.11 - Helios and Missy//

Its cool was just curious on that one - currently you have to touch someone that knows the language to speak the language -- but I suppose if you are doing lip reading you would just need a means to perceive the words clearly and/or some such but that will be an in-game endeavor I suppose. Are we outlining what it might take to create your own spell as opposed to using spells others have already created? Just curious again.

Replying to @dejoker's thoughts: I believe the current spells cover Increase Skill or Increase Attribute, both of which will help Perception. Then it's a simple matter of the Translate spell.

First Impression: You gain 2 Edge for Social Tests during your first meeting with anyone, and both your Heat and Reputation are ignored for this first encounter.

Mentor spirit: Edge Boosts cost 1 less for Influence tests

3 -edge boost: Buy one automatic hit: You get an automatic hit. This one adds on to the total hits you roll. This isn’t an automatic success at whatever test you’re attempting, just another hit to add to your total.

For my 2 Edge and with a one boost discount, I would like to buy one automatic hit. I don't know if its a clever use of my edge, but I am using the system

4 +1 succes

Missy's Influence test has 3 net successes.

3? My first thought was 3, but then I looked it up, 1's don't negate 5's or 6'es any more. The only time 1's are important, is if half the roll is 1's, then its a glitch. Critical if there are no 5's or 6'es. But I might have missed something

You rolled 4+1 successes, that is opposed by my roll of 2 successes for the Chans. So that's 5 - 2 = 3 net successes. :) Which is why their response is positive, with only one question of concern which was more for self-preservation.

Having worked a few times together in the past Missy would know that Helios and make them both completely Invisible -- which is what he means when he says very discretely

A quick Missy relates the conversation is fine by me which I believe is what she did as that makes it more linear and I can then responded accordingly. And we are speaking in Sperethiel because currently that is the only language Helios understands unless he borrows one of Missy's languages which he does not currently feel is necessary. Maybe she will get slightly annoyed with Helios not knowing any other languages and make it a priority of her's to teach him the ones she knows. Or maybe she is fine with him not knowing other languages since he does know how to speak and deal with animals really well. To me its all about character development and character interaction and relationship development. We have a bond due to the mutual need and respect for one another but we do run in the shadows where trust is often rare and sometimes dangerous. So it is hard for me to say why Missy thus far has not chosen to instruct Helios on how to speak another language and I am fine with the other player defining that for their character and letting it come out in role play :)
