Andre: “Good evening, Mrs Beall. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to track the so-called Missionaries or cold men to their headquarters and infiltrate their base. As always, should you or any member of your “Spectral Force” be caught or (re)killed, the secretary Wolf will disavow any knowledge of your actions.”

Perfect!

I plan on posting Friday - it would help if I knew what Andre's plan was (either via post or OOC) before then. If not, Farhad will... wing it.

Get it.

Cuz he's a dragon?

Touche! Yeah, I'll cash in my debt with Anne and send her on a recon mission with the fleeing Missionaries to find out their location and overhear what they really planned or what they are really up to. I'll try to get my post in later this evening

Sorry for the delay on Cole's decision. I really didn't know what to have him do here, so I elected for the worst possible option.

A few items:

1) I'm going to do my best to get GM posts up tomorrow.

2) Both scenes are splintering. That's fine and natural as far as your character choices go, but I'd rather not run 4 or 5 different strands of action. So I'm inclined to get another 1-to-3 posts from each thread, and then give a summary of the results of the more "solo" stuff in order to transition to more group-focused content.
2a) That does mean that it's worth thinking about what folks might want from the next scene. Are there activities that you feel HAVE to happen next? Are there interactions with other PCs in other locations you want to have? I can frame up scenes, but it's always nicer from my perspective when YOUR drives and questions set up what follows. I don't need answers right this second, but I encourage you to stew on the issue for a bit.
3) As an FYI, I'm traveling from this Friday to the following Wednesday (Aug 4-9) and I definitely won't make game posts over that time. It might take me a day or two to get back in the saddle afterwards, as well, so please forgive any delays on my side next wekk. I'll also be on a family vacation from Aug 19-25, but I think I can post through the latter trip.

Sorry for my delay. Had family in town and ended up with a lot less time without interruption than anticipated. Plan to get a post up today (or tomorrow at the latest).

As for next scenes, I feel like it would be good to do something in Andre's territory. Other than that I don't know that I have other thoughts yet.

I'm good with wrapping up Cole's little exchange. It was an enlightening little vignette, but he isn't about to... what's his corruption move again? 'Knowingly head straight into danger'. Yeah, none of that.

I do like the idea of switching the groups around so we get to see some new interactions, but other than that, I have no specific needs for scene 2. I think I may need to return to my workspace at some point, make use of that...

So if I understand it correctly, Andre's hunt is over but he cant just untransform til sunrise. So he can't hit the streets with Farhad in the car. Andre could tail the car theoretically, or he could lead the way to Nelson Farley's known location so that Farhad can go in all gentlemanly, while Andre waits outside in case more bones need breaking.

For the record, I am not promoting pushing this scene out longer. I was actually planning to have Victor send a text to Cole, so Frog initiating just solidified that path. The heist can absolutely happen off screen unless everyone is interested in playing it out.

Also, the rolling is out of control. Good luck to anyone in the next scene with Victor cuz the law of averages is coming ...

I mean, we could do that but I'm not sure Farhad has a vested interest in this Nelson guy, other than his current curiosity.

@Wyn does Farhad recognize the name as being significant to him?

I don't have a reason to think Farhad would or wouldn't recognize the name. This sounds like exactly the question that the Put a Face to a Name faction move is designed for! So I'd suggest you make that roll as part of your post, or prior to it. His faction is not set in stone as far as I'm concerned. Guess it's time to set it. If jbear wants to jump in quickly to declare one, I'm fine with that. But if you (wodine) want to post soon and/or jbear doesn't have a pre-concieved notion, then we'll call Farley Mortal.

Success with an 10-2 rolling on mortal;8..

If it turns out Farley should have been any other faction it would have been a 10+.

I didn't hear any contradiction from jbear, so we'll set Farley's faction in stone as Mortal. Dont' forget to mark faction!

On a hit, you know everything that's given about him in my NPC information post. You'd also know that this wrestling league is a center for people of the Shadows. There are Mortals who show up to the matches - aren't there always mortals who will stick their nose into things? But this is not a wrestling show that's advertised on TV or in banners on webpages. It's local, it's shared through word-of mouth, it's bloody and dangerous. But, as a more-or-less neutral location for folk of the shadows to gather, it can be quite a useful scene for power brokers, meet-ups, or just being one's self. As long as you're OK shouting over the cheers, sweating in close proximity to other people, and the occasional spray of spit and blood.

I'd really like to update the game by this Wednesday, the 16th. So if you're stewing on your post, please try to get it up before then.

I feel like this was directed at me. I will try to get it done tonight.

In my defense I wrote it in my head. I just uh. Forgot to type it out.
