==Overview==
==Overview==
Owning an all-girls resort outside Noboribetsu, Liudmila is a brilliant business woman, masseuse, and smuggler. People, medicine, drugs, all of which need to get places, and a resort town in Snowy Hokkaido is an easy place to make people disappear and appear. And when people go from point a to b, they often need ground work for a new life. It's worth noting though, that all this wealth goes somewhere, and Liudmila only really tells those who are equally in the know.
Salve is a free spirit who's taken on the role of healer--not out of generosity, but in the name of profit. Injured, sick, desperate people are much more willing to offer up karma than healthy ones, Salve has found, so they haunt the more dangerous parts of Seattle looking for people in need of treatment to extort. Recently they've learned that shadowrunners are able and willing to accept their steep fees for “house calls,” and have opened up their practice to include helping runners as well.  
 
If you are not Red or Vladivostok Vory, she will not let you in on who helped her get set up - or who she funnels money to. Gotta love the money laundering business.


Salve isn't malicious and takes no delight in the suffering of others, but simply views their approach to medicine as a valid way to acquire karma and resources. They're generally emotionally detached from their clients’ conditions, and have little patience for those who aren’t paying customers. Salve can be summoned anywhere accessible by astral movement, though they'll leave a active combat zone immediately.

==GM Notes==
* Make sure to use the rules for [[Contact_Rules#Magical/Resonance_Services|magical services]] when pricing out Salve's spell casts. In particular, remember that the prices in the service cost table are doubled for services that use magic/resonance. Salve is a F6 Spirit of Man for the purposes of calculating max spell force and for determining whether drain is physical or stun damage.  
* Without the ability to carry normal items when moving astrally, most physical objects (credsticks included) hold little value for Salve.  
** If they're to be paid physical objects, it should generally be in the form of reagents of Salve's tradition (hermetic) or medical journals, and the runners should organize for the items to be transported to one of Salve's bases of operations, which may incur further costs if not covered by lifestyles/drones/favors/etc.
** Aqua Vitae is imbibed on-site.
** Karma is obviously most convenient for payment, but going by a 2000 nuyen:1 karma ratio most spells will be worth less than one karma, so runners may be able to pay for multiple services in advance with a single karma up front.

Overview

Salve is a free spirit who's taken on the role of healer--not out of generosity, but in the name of profit. Injured, sick, desperate people are much more willing to offer up karma than healthy ones, Salve has found, so they haunt the more dangerous parts of Seattle looking for people in need of treatment to extort. Recently they've learned that shadowrunners are able and willing to accept their steep fees for “house calls,” and have opened up their practice to include helping runners as well.

Salve isn't malicious and takes no delight in the suffering of others, but simply views their approach to medicine as a valid way to acquire karma and resources. They're generally emotionally detached from their clients’ conditions, and have little patience for those who aren’t paying customers. Salve can be summoned anywhere accessible by astral movement, though they'll leave a active combat zone immediately.

They generally appear in the form of a stylized nurse covered in cloth, with no visible skin. They have a flat affect and rarely act excited (even if offered something exciting as payment, they'll attempt to mask their enthusiasm).

GM Notes

  • Make sure to use the rules for magical services when pricing out Salve's spell casts. In particular, remember that the prices in the service cost table are doubled for services that use magic/resonance. Salve is a F6 Spirit of Man for the purposes of calculating max spell force and for determining whether drain is physical or stun damage.
  • Without the ability to carry normal items when moving astrally, most physical objects (credsticks included) hold little value for Salve.

    • Aqua Vitae is imbibed on-site.
    • Karma is obviously most convenient for payment, but going by a 2000 nuyen:1 karma ratio most spells will be worth less than one karma, so runners may be able to pay for multiple services in advance with a single karma up front.
