Do you think garbage dumps are sufficiently different junkyards? I'm not sure if they are, but if Lilly wants to try, she can borrow Z's PDA if she doesn't otherwise have internet access.

Yep, junkyards take cars apart and sell the pieces to make money, they're a business and closed on boxing day. Rubbish dumps are just trash heaps which means a little rummaging should be disgusting but I hope legal.

Anyway borrowing that PDA Wits (4) + Computers (1)

Evil DM: I don't have the book in front of me right now. What do Cryptids (MtA Summoners) do in front of mortals? Is it just disbelief or is there some other thing? They do leave behind remains that can be analyzed.

If we want to visit bardos we could all head over to Zevchen's home. Or take the new spaceship for a ride.

Er. Forget the Spaceship, Ark won't fit and we still can't fly it.

The point is to try to see if there is any corresponding pattern between cryptids and bardos, not to visist them.

That'd possibly work. Depends on how much EvilDm wants to deviate from whatever he has planned though.

I admit I am looking forward to meeting a Changeling, expect Lilly's protectiveness to be triggered if it looks childish and her sense of cool if it looks like a scary monster.

I suspect the rest can have the new treasure burred by the time we get back (any word on the dump EvilDMMK3?) It's going to be a bit of a trip even with Skafoi.

If its a changeling, would we be able to see anything at all? She'll probably appear like a perfectly normal human without some sort of Apokalypsi.

And kitbashing time.

Wits (4) + Crafts (3) + Inspiration (2) + Favoured Axiom (1) + Kitbashing (-2) + Rank (-1) + poor resources (-1) + Willpower (3) + Zevchen's help (1).

(10d10)[8][9][6][7][10][1][6][7][8][2](64)
tens
(10d10)[5][5][7][5][2][2][9][9][3][10](57)

4 successes. So close to 5!

From the stuff (i assume) Alrai detected, it seems pretty clear he's an Unmada of some kind. The Scrooge Mane?

Scroll up past Alari's scrutiny; Lilly got an Exceptional Success on Wits + Inspiration, it has all the details:

The man is a pretty solid Mechanist. At least Inspiraition 5 (with 4 bound mania), Inspiration 6 (with 9 bound mania) seems a bit more likely.

The four manes are

The Manes are almost certainly stable in his Unmada field, but going by above they'd betray him in an instant if we could offer something better than he is, not that we're likely to outbid a market Mechanist even without the unmada field on the bidding table.

They've also got Apokolypsi, Katastrofi and Prostasia on them. Lilly asked them to leave the Katastrofi outside, so we're now waiting on their response.

Being honest he didn't quite believe in unmada.

But you can see right where his thoughts went.

Well thats the thing with Lemurians. They're all Unmada of differing strengths. And they all individually think they're world-view is the only valid one.

Yep, that's why Mage-Genius crossovers are fun. Geniuses think Atlantis is a big Unmada theory*. Mage's think Geniuses are all insane**. Result = Drama.

And sadly the persuasion roll failed. I hope this dosn't turn into a fight because we're probably out gunned. If it does under no circumstances should Ark engage the Mechanist, Mechanists tend to be very solid on Crafts, and he can throw around at least 5 mania a turn. His deconstruct technology attack would be brutal. However depending on his Prostasia and what weapons Lilly didn't spot (normal guns?) she might be able to take him in a fist fight.

* Truth depends on the ST.

** True

That last line sounded important. Do you think he's referring to Ark possibly being the Warlock, or the fact Lilly dosn't really know what her own Catalyst is?

More importantly, are you giving us a cut?

Edit: Evil DM, would that require a Wisdom degeneration roll?

Jack does not, for the record, trust them one bit. At all. But, yeah, i'll take the money(since the check is not a wonder, it would be pretty hard to booby trap it)

Yes it would require a degridation roll, who are you using it on?

NM then. It was Lily. Really though, for knocking someone out I get a roll? It wouldn't even have inflicted damage.
