// Karma Gained :: May 22nd 2012 //

Dave here. Session 14 served as an opportunity to rest, recover, spend karma, and sell loot.
Dorimo got an inside tip about an upcoming Mitsuhama tech expo.
Luna made plans to acquire a rare white tiger as an exotic pet.
Lugh dug up some interesting info about the Horizon Corporation.
Boris bought some new heavy weapons and accessories.
John Doe made plans to build a customized chameleon-tech sniper rifle.
The team as a whole made a boat-load of cash selling off some unwanted weapons and cyberware to a Romanian revolutionary faction.

The team earned 4 karma during session 14.

• 1 for digging up information on a Johnson
• 1 for negotiating a +25% payout during a black market exchange
• 1 for designing a unique weapon upgrade (more karma can be earned by completing schematics, fabricating a functional prototype, and mass-producing a working model for market distribution)
• 1 for roleplaying and character development

 Dorimo also recovered three wax-sealed scroll tubes from the subterranean triad mausoleum.

 

• 1 scroll of aged silk, inscribed in faded blue ink. This scroll is Joss paper, or spirit money. The value of the paper is marked at 20,000¥, but you've never heard of spirits actually using physical money.
• 1 scroll detailing a complicated group ritual for calling forth spirits of the dead.
• 1 scroll detailling a binding ritual, using sacred ashes and blood tribute as a method of spiritual transfer or possession.

Researching either of the ritual scrolls will earn the character a +1 bonus on any attempt to perform the specified ritual (including resisting drain). Research will also likely earn the character at least 1 point of notoriety.
