*he looks up and wonders what everyone is taking about he takes his suplies and locks them up in his van. Then looks around for Four Eys. hearing stuff about using my drones to secure the area. If what I think they are planning is going to happen. Its going to cost me lots of fuel. And the chance to repair my drones as well as a long shift without sleep.*
Four Eyes where are you man. *he was looking around for Four Eyes. Even Micro or Lucull would do. Thinks very expensive hopes that i get compensated. Looks over at the bus. I could start working on the bus. But the drones did pull us out of the fire*

"Wow if what I'm hearing is true it sounds like Four Eyes had quite the adventure before I hooked up with him at the mine. I think I joined the right group to get my power up they seem like a magnet for trouble." Micro thinks to himself as the negotiations begin for the rights to the story.
Micro leans back in his chair to hear the rest of this story. "I doubt I get any of the cut for the story but hearing the stroy may be worth it in itself."

A cool mill. We'd want the body for that
Illiya seems to take the yen request in her stride, the encounter has just clicked up a few gears towards really serious, she has your full attention.
General information we have already collected, we can pay yen if you can fill in the details - better details better yen, no?
Why did you encounter the undermench, the followers, in the forest to begin with?
The reports of your assault on the house indicate that you used standard small arms shot, was anything else used ? What magical support was used to dismiss the creature once it had been downed?
I have further questions but these require answers. The more who were there who can provide the information the better.. Mr Hunter is incapacitated, so yourself and whom else can corroborate?
Which account should we transfer monies to, we do not carry that sort of cash as credstik. Are you registered citizenz?
Thunder can just make out the group slugging around near the beertent talking to a tall thin (elf?) if he walks down to the corner to look up the 'merchants row' - so they are not far away.. Micro's hat is easy to spot. You recon it will be mashed to pulp by the end of the evening - or donated to a hatless kiddie.
Fuel costs are minimal in the greater scheme of things - it is the fact that to be effective you would have to be jacked in all flamin night, and every so often someone would have to fill em up with LPG or preferably an aviation fuel. They will burn alchahol - but you need to clean them out a lot more. Thinking about it - what would a lot of sidearm toting drunken orcs do if they saw a drone or two.. you'd probably have a shot at it yourself by the end of the evening.. You think drone cover would be a waste, but keep em on standby just in case.
You were only away for a minute or two - when you get back to repairs - after a few mins more your monitor brings up a suit coming out of the garage - looks like he's been talking to the mechanic (who is putting something in his overalls pocket)
Illiya pipes up again.. You have some time to gather your thoughts.. we shall be available all night - cabin seven, lucky no? But soon - yes? by the vay, what is the smell of chemical ? She sniffs at Four-Eyes and Micro Brimstone.. ah Sulphur yes her eyes twinkle - retreives the fuzzbox, your ears gently pop as the field turns off and with a brief nod she strides off through the mud towards the cabins...
Now that she has pointed it out they do smell - chemically smell - sour, eggy the smell from the mines that were sited around the volcanic crater oozing chemicals and small clouds of sulphur. Cheeky get.

(OOC - good opportunity to bring any points together - you can plan out what you are going to do with the bus and the vampires and the info to give to Illiya, if the price is acceptable.. but looks like there is a lot of room for manouver here.. points make prizes she said! Also, how will any cash be split? from which jobs? )

'I understand the problem the bus is facing, theres an open contract out and a million in gold up for grabs, how about emptying out the gold and making sure that word is spread that the bus is no longer carrying.
The load could be taken by another vehicle. You are carrying around 400kilos - it would fit in the back of a van - or a car if you filled the rear seats -
Someone could announce what is happening from the stage here there is a lot of media around looking for stories - as long as the word spreads that there is no gold, that should douse the interest in attacking the bus.
do you think that would work?
Doesnt help with any other of the problems here like getting Hunter to hospital.. If he cant travel in an old ambulance he cant travel in my tub

(OOC I was thinking we could put a Steel Lynx drone in the bus to shot anyone that is not OKed to be there down, The Fly Drones should be on call if you need then then launch them. But all this is up to Thunder to decide.)
"Oh too bad they never went for the million, of course if they would give us the money for the body I would most certainly help find the thing if some animal didn't drag it off." Micro thinks as he puts out his smoke that has burnt down to the filter since he neglected to monitor it as the conversation was taking place.

Angel listens. Vampires? Oh great, that was all they needed, blood suckers. And how exactly did you fight one? Did the stuff in the movies actually work on them?
Carrying the gold in the back of a van? That would mean Peaches would be volunteering their ride. "I'm not sure that will work, but I guess it might be worth a try." A million in gold was pretty heavy though. Would it hold?

As the conversation continues, Micro finds out that the attack on the cabin was by volunteer deputies, no yen was put up - strange for any hard-bitten shadowrunners to take part in something for nothing - well no yen anyway... Illiya has only just listened to Four-Eyes 'jokingly' asking for a mill - and him getting a positive reply!
Even Four-Eyes seems quiet - a little taken aback by his request actually being accepted.. and a mill in yen! yes it has become serious...
The idea of a doberman inside the bus is good - it could easily recognise a 'passive' password.. that sort of thinking is good solid stuff, and deserves an immediate karma tick for any kind of security or drone skill/knowledge - Micro, PM me soon with what you think it should go onto... new skill ? improve a bit in something connected? If people are unaware of this, part of the way I play things, good/lucky play that deserves rewarding, gets it!
Angel too is taken in/tempted by the whole million in bullion roumour thing - maybe you need a demonstration like Meg has suggested, what is actually on the bus! Anyone with Talismongering knowledge or any knowledge of street value of ore?
Anyone got any knowlwedge about paranormals ? (sub-classes at -2) To have any evidence as to what does actually harm the noswerantus? stakes, head chopping, water fire sunlight etc ? All myths - unless Illiya can fill you in ? You going to listen to the crackpot?
What I'm looking for here is dipping characters into something different - look around you, you are in a festival, loads of civillians around, if there is a firefight (that you will all be very good at) thenthere will be a lot of mis-hits -and the crowd will suffer - those who have more passive ways of dealing with things may well benefit because they have had to think their way out of situations before - and be rewarded for good ideas....
a mill in gold nuggetts would weigh around 5kilo per 10,000 yen value (refined gold) so around 500 kilo of what you would regard as pure gold... (which is about 20,000 ounces at 50yen an ounce - blimey gold is cheap! about 400$ an ounce currently? just a guess. means 1yen is about 10 dollars = a meal)
Lucille would tell you that there was only a small amount of gold ore.. she thinks... but not quite that 500 k weight in total for the lot - Her job is to get the shipment through to Seattle - if needs be you could crack open a sample of the cases - in fact a couple of the Mercury cannisters have already been shot at and punctured.....
Micro remembers the shot to his own neck, rubbing where the scar ought to be.. theres a moment of.. pleasure? joy? fear? a brief 'rush' realising that if there was a firefight - a lot of people including you could be killed and maimed.. yekk.. you need more kip Micro...
4-500 kilo would be half a dozen big guys 100k per squaddie.

((OOC: I got 1 knowledge point in paranormal creature..I also got a Pocket book of the Animals of North-America (double edition: Added Awaken creatures, with regular creatures), which might have some info on the Wendigo..Wolflet, if you can confirm that, "Ill give out info I found in the second edition rulebook))
Hmmm..so a mil for a Wendigo body...the 3 goons were autopsied, and the wendigo did started to burn while th'bag was being closed..so there must somethin' left..and didn't Hunter told the PArk Ranger what got us to get out in th'woods and get those guys?..why didn't she saw that in the reports?..Hell was it even there?..but she did sound well informed though..so mayber he story is real..or she's in league with somethin' else..damn those elven frags to hell..good nose they got too now..
"All right then, anyone got a wendigo body lying around? Heh...'suppose not..they only want inof, but god knows for who they really work for; she didn't show any special ID, no names, much less talked about that team she was with...helle ven some crappy lie would have satisfied me, but guess now, th'truth's what I'm lookin' for.." Four-Eyes took a drag off his smoke, blowing high in the air, but discreetly looking around, in case some curious folk was listening, or maybe one of the Elf's friend. "Say Micro, where'd you got those stuff for that elemental thing? Some Mage or somethin' Maybe he or she knows a bit 'bout them' freaks..and maybe about the giant wolf who can't get hurted with bullets, much less seems to be against the monster too, that might help us. 'Think you can go and ask about it Micro?"
"I know that me and you guys are under contract with Lucille here, but since we're stuck here for a few days, if it comes to gettin' a wendigo body, you guys want in?"

"Well I got the stuff at a tent just down the way." Micro points in the direction where he got his summoning materials at. "I could check if the guy knows anything, if the place is still open." As micro checks his watch.

As Micro stands up to run off he remembers his lecture at school "Oh ya Vampires thats them." Thinks to himself proceding to tell the group what he remembers what his instructor told him. "I can't beleive I remembered that I never liked that class as much as spell weilding."
(OOC I'll let Wolf post the answer If you want I have the book but I want to make sure I got a high enouph roll (HAHAHA))[rand=91396775512116524572302379944164092777570567390737743066704365]

Well thanks for your time Miss. That doesn't sound like who I was looking for. But maybe before I head back to the city we could go out for a coffee , if your interested? I'd like to get to know you a lil better and the area as well . This sure is nice country. Fryer looks around then back to the nurse with a small smile.
Before I forget did you happen to over hear what those suits were talking about. I'm just wondering why they are interested in our Mr. Hunter? Fryer asks as an after thought as he is starting to leave.

Micro seems the most knowledgable about vampirish things - with the recent practice he had had - Micro remembers a little - most spirit- type creatures fall into two categoies - either full spirits like elementals, you can batter them and they are disrupted for a few days,but can come back part spirit - dual creatures that exist as spirit and physical, generally they can be killed and the spirit bit is disrupted, but hasnt got anywhere to come back to - and they are destroyed
powerful spirit creatures could posess a body - so when killed - it can come back but must find another shell to posess There are special powers that have been observed - like only taking damage from fire, drowning, decapitation, silver and iron - a heart strike seem to be the main ones.. but others like reflection sunlight have been attributed to harming spirits from regions ... as quite a lot of ordinary attacks are quickly regenerated.. as the spirit repairs the physical shell. But it could get overwhelmed and the physical body totaled. You spost this is what Illiya is alluding to. Was the Wendigo really killed - and could it come back..?
Four-Eyes and the others can think about what they did.. a brief story of the Wendigo killing could be useful...
Quick heads off to the early-evening bar - currently quite empty, a couple of groups of rowdy orcs can always be found in high spirits at places like this.. Quick puts out feelers with his best barkeep knowldge in mind.. go with the flow agree with the story and guide it to what you want to hear.. Usually it is the other way around - avoid the punter's questions !
Wellll.. the wolf hunt started it all off, followed by the discovery of the murders - and the assault on the heavily guarded cabin .. the wolfpelts and bodies were all brought back - there was a lot of blood - but they recon the murderers were drained of blood, not a drop in em! Now theres elfs an troopers, suits an medical teams all over, and the media up from Seattle to see what's going on all getting bigger and bigger! Great ! Good for the area and its nice to have a bit of a party.. specially as were supplying the booze.. thats two bottles of 'shine and two litres of fizzola, - you guys will need it to wash downthe shine!
Most people you ask would be able to fill you in on one or two points like this - heresay and part-truth. No stories about the bus and it's millions - if people know anything they aint sharing it.
The nurses take a shine to you Fryer..could be youre not drunk, or bragging or you got nice musclle tone... but theres not much more they know about the suits.. just came in and checked that Mr Hunter was one of the guys from the bus.. they did look over to your group over there, and said something about not going anywhere fast. she nods towards the picnic table where Quick is returning with a few bottles tucked under his arms, a stack of plascups and some hot bags of crunciflakes in his teeth.. (he's obviously just blending into the scenery, loaded with rough alchahol and snax)
It would be easy enough to tell Illiya later - it would be useful to think out the relevant details so I know how much she is getting
any more thoughts on getting the bus out of the jam it is in? Thunder is easily able to set the doberman up to guard the interior - and would be able to give you all a password to pacify it - got a password in mind Thunder?

(Angel has knowledge of Dragons, does that count?) Angel considers the festival that was going on around them. Bringing out the guns wasn't a good idea. It would attract way too much attention. What about a demo? She didn't think a bus could haul that much in gold, but she could be wrong.
Since Peaches seems occupied, she considers joining Quick, but he'd said he'd be back pretty quick, so she stays put and is not surprised to see him returning with a small supply of snacks and drinks. She offers to help him with the food and drink.
