The Arundel Information Caper (OOC)

@gnomius: We are needing to know what happens with Jacob before we can resolve the other characters' situation.

How do you want to handle getting him out?

I mentioned some options above [ref], but there are always other options... especially if you were willing to abandon your companions and simply • teleport into your establishment from any distance or position. :)

So sorry, I somehow missed this post, and was waiting for you:
I think I'll go with the high risk-high reward of Study a Place of Power. After all, I have my teleport ability as a last-minute plan if everything else goes south (I would just love to see Crowley's face in this case...). Which Circle should I roll for?

On a side note, I'll be having Christmas holidays from tomorrow until January 7th (yep, it's a lot of holidays here in Spain, you know), and during this season, I try to be more disconnected... so for the next 2 weeks I'll be able to post only occasionally.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It happens... often. This is PbP! :)

I thought about nudging your earlier, but it is hard to balance that with nagging. No worries.
Power. And good luck. :)
Enjoy your holiday.

Let's split up the group after we resolve the current situation, that way we can run at independent speeds.

I will look at the Long-Term Play and Faction Moves chapter and may implement some of those as well.

No, mainly the coherence of the game, but plot armour takes that off the table.
It was probably a bad example, but people have been trying to make it clear to Emma that she is in real mortal danger with the stuff she is messing with. The Urban Shadows game-world is brutal, but PCs seldom die, the story may put them in situations where death is a logical conclusion, but they mostly have ways to avoid it (the most crude being Scars).
No, he has been implying legal recourse.
And to be clear: That is an in-character assessment? Just making sure we are on the same page, and you, the player, are aware that she is in trouble.

You came into his house and broke into his safe, and were caught. These are facts —no matter how much Emma may try to wriggle out of them with 'I did not know...'— they will have future consequences. I don't want you feeling they are unfair.
No, they will be more subtle. We will try to weave them into the story and characters going forward.

Misses on the dice should add to the story, and this should make your life more interesting (more complicated, but more interesting). We will make it work and it will bring opportunities (same way the Jacob's Miss [ref] lead to offering him a tempting trinket ... and a cost:).
OK. Make that roll.
Fair enough. We will also make it fairly clear what the cost is. We may skip ahead in time by a week or so (Long-Term Moves) during which time she could be worried about what the other shoe will be when it drops (maybe with some vignettes of that time?), but then we will have something more concrete to tackle.

Really? Emma was definitely part of the group that did exactly that. They don't know that she was 'just along for the ride'. Think of it from their point of view and treat the NPCs like they are real people.
Yes. And those are the facts they are working with.
And they don't even know about that (yet? you did establish that they have cameras). I think it may take the Administrator (wow, that word is hard to keep typing!) a while to find this out... but Emma might want to assume there is a ticking clock on the information.
...
Nah, the consequences will fall upon other people. :)

No worries. Let's see if Jacob becomes available to provide a lift... and if Emma will accept it. Else, do Emma and Benji share a taxi?
