Mostly Rolls

[Carmichael] "Okay, this is what we're doing. First, we're gathering the information - Em gave me locations - and pulling it out. Then, we're covering up any traces of it having been here. This'll take both magic and hacking skills. Got it?"

So was the prelude to this adventure as they set up their laptops, networked, and warded with the fullest security Chuck could given them - it would hardly do to have something trace back, or to pick up some virus, or to let out Beatlejuice or something as they're working. This is what Chuck does.

This is Chuck, kid in a candy store.

[Wits + Comp, spec.!]
Dice Rolled:[ 8 d10 ] 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 10, 10 (Success x 5 at target 6)

[Carmichael] [and rerolled tens because I forgot to tick the box]
Dice Rolled:[ 3 d10 ] 4, 5, 9 (Success x 1 at target 6)

[Riley] Riley nods, sitting on the couch with her laptop resting on her knees. She of course helps with the security, putting up walls and blocks and switchbacks, protecting their work to the best of her not inconsiderable ability.

And she offers him a jaunty salute. "Aye aye, cap'n!"

[Mish Witnessing] OOC: Okay! This is how this works. Before we can determine how much mundane abilities will lower the Diff of an Effect, we need to know what Effect they'll be using.

[Mish Witnessing] OOC: Also, acting in Concert works like this, so we're all on the same page: Each party must have all the Spheres being used in the Effect at some level. The party with the lower level in the Sphere(s) rolls per usual, but can only add 1 suxx to each turn of rolling. So, say Chuck rolls for a Corr Effect and gets 2 suxx. Riley rolls, using WP, and gets two Suxx. Only one of Riley's suxx gets added to the total Suxx making the total Suxx for that turn: 3.

[Carmichael] ((Effect in use: Nothing to See Here, Move Along [Mind 1, conjunctional with Corr 2]
Mundane skills: removing bits of code/information completely. Magic used to cover up that there was ever anything there.))

[Mish Witnessing] ((Does Riley have Mind?))

[Mish Witnessing] ((*checks* No. Sooooo... if you want Riley to help you can do it this way:
Just roll a Corr Effect to locate the data wherever it may be on the Net. She can help with that. Then they can work together to remove it from the internet with mundane skills wherever they are able; Chuck toss in Mind in a separate Rote to obfuscate it where they need to. Does that work for you guys?))

[Carmichael] ((Sounds good to me! Does my first computer roll apply, or do you want me to reroll?))

[Carmichael] ((Okay! Corr, coincidental? -1 slow, -1 focus, -1 resonance.))
Dice Rolled:[ 2 d10 ] 5, 10 (Success x 2 at target 3)

[Riley] [corr: -1 slow, -1 focus]
Dice Rolled:[ 1 d10 ] 8 (Success x 2 at target 4) [WP]

[Mish Witnessing] ooc: Guys, guys. PLEASE hold up, okay? I'm trying to figure something out here and I had to post in the Chantry, too.

[Carmichael] ((Sorry! *holds up*))
Dice Rolled:[ 2 d10 ] 1, 3 (Failure at target 3)

[Carmichael] (Err. With dice, apparently.)

[Mish Witnessing] [[It applies! We just need to figure out the Treshold of the Corr Effect to see how much the comp roll lowers the diff. The Effect will be at +1 Diff, since neither have Corr 3. The amount of servers in the US is staggering, so we'll say, for now, they can target the Mid-West. [if, later, you want to say they slowly work on eliminating it further I'm cool with that, just give it IC time to do so... like, I dunno, two weeks total to get the whole of the US?]

Suxx needed: 2 to pull it off; 6 for number they are going through. Total suxx required: 8.

CC: Your comp roll got 6 suxx. You need 2 more to break the Treshold and start applying suxx for lowering Diff. So how about we let Monki roll for Riley and see what suxx she gets.
Monki! Int + Comp @ Diff 6, please!

[Riley] [so I should have rolled wits + comp, too?]

[Riley] [bah! ignore that! pay attention to this sweet, sweet roll: wits + comp]
Dice Rolled:[ 8 d10 ] 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 (Failure at target 6)

[Mish Witnessing] ((>.< MULLIGAN!))

[Riley] [oh! int + comp, not wits]
Dice Rolled:[ 7 d10 ] 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 (Success x 4 at target 6) Re-rolls: 1

[Mish Witnessing] ooc: Alright!
Start rolling the Corr effect. Base Diff: 5. +1 [large span], +1 [be sneaky]. Subtract whatever normal diff modifiers you have at your disposal. [foci, taking time, resonance, etc]. Then subtract 2, though the diff cannot drop below 1, obviously.

Remember: After the first turn of rolls the Diff goes up by +1 again, for Extending.

[Carmichael] (Woo hoo magic! Diff 7, -1 resonance, -1 slow, -1 focus, -2!)
Dice Rolled:[ 2 d10 ] 2, 9 (Success x 2 at target 2)

[Riley] [corr: diff 7 -1 slow, -1 focus, -2]
Dice Rolled:[ 1 d10 ] 7 (Success x 1 at target 3)

[Carmichael] (Second verse, same as the first! +1 extend.)
Dice Rolled:[ 2 d10 ] 4, 6 (Success x 2 at target 3)

[Mish Witnessing] Turn 1: 3 suxx

[Riley] [extension!]
Dice Rolled:[ 1 d10 ] 7 (Success x 1 at target 4)

[Mish Witnessing] Turn 2: 3 suxx, Total: 6

[Riley] [and again!]
Dice Rolled:[ 1 d10 ] 2 (Failure at target 4)

[Carmichael] [Me too!]
Dice Rolled:[ 2 d10 ] 5, 8 (Success x 3 at target 3) [WP]

[Mish Witnessing] (( Alright! Success. It takes 3 hours to complete which is pretty snazzy. Now, someone pick: Which is Lucky -- Odds or Evens?))

[Riley] [evens!]

[Mish Witnessing] [[Here we go!]]
Dice Rolled:[ 1 d10 ] 4

[Mish Witnessing] [[Huzzah!!! Okay, all goes well and smoothly. CC, we can just say Chuck did any additional things required as he saw fit. And we should be good to go!]]

[Carmichael] Awesome! Want to witness the mind rolls while you're here?))

[Mish Witnessing] [[no, no, that's what I mean.. no need for the Mind rolls, just assume in the few places more obfuscation was needed just to be careful, he managed to do it fine. i.e. My brain is frazzled and the little one will be up soon. :)]]

[Carmichael] ((Hah! Win.))

[Mish Witnessing] [[kk! Go VA's. Thanks guys!]]

[Carmichael] ((Thank you!))
