MilesMk1 (8:03:53 PM): Hello.
CirclMastr (8:04:03 PM): Hey all
Umbrafer (8:04:06 PM): Seiler, mind giving Dave a hand with a forum error, or trying to? I need to take a really quick shower, and then I shall return.
Thematrian1 (8:04:16 PM): I can manage it, I expect
MilesMk1 (8:04:32 PM): Yay! More time for me to play LotR: The Third Age. :)
Thematrian1 (8:04:42 PM): it's good, I take it?
MilesMk1 (8:05:17 PM): I've only started about an hour ago, but yes, it's very immersive. And fun. Hopefully, that'll continue to be the case.
MilesMk1 (8:05:27 PM): I promise to still pay attention tonight, though.
Thematrian1 (8:05:37 PM): we appreciate your sacrifice ;-)
MilesMk1 (8:05:57 PM): It
MilesMk1 (8:06:47 PM): It's a turn-based LotR RPG... Two of my favorite things together, like caramel and nougat...
Thematrian1 (8:07:09 PM): woo. How'd I avoid hearing about this?
MilesMk1 (8:08:01 PM): Well, it's only been out since yesterday...
MilesMk1 (8:08:19 PM): But it has sort of gotten lost in the crowd of action and RTS games being made.
Thematrian1 (8:08:25 PM): still, there's usually some form of release anxiety, people talking about how awesome the game is going to be
Thematrian1 (8:08:30 PM): yeah, I could see that
MilesMk1 (8:10:21 PM): It's pretty neat how they seem to have managed to tie it into (well, so far, anyway) the movies without stepping on the main story.
Thematrian1 (8:10:37 PM): that's a nice trick. Console or PC?
MilesMk1 (8:10:47 PM): Console.
Thematrian1 (8:10:51 PM): drat
MilesMk1 (8:11:15 PM): Heh... Want an X-Box? I have two.
Umbrafer (8:11:38 PM): Eek, one is bad enough
Thematrian1 (8:11:38 PM): Hehe. I'm sure you could quote me a good price, but I don't dare.
MilesMk1 (8:11:55 PM): You know how sometimes, you have this great book, and you lend it to someone, and then they don't give it back, and you really want to read it again, so you go to the store, and...
Umbrafer (8:12:16 PM): Then they eventually give it back?
MilesMk1 (8:12:19 PM): Yeah.
Umbrafer (8:12:30 PM): Heh
MilesMk1 (8:13:53 PM): One is bad enough? For your productivity, or as a game console? I like my X-Box. Not as much as my PC, but...
Umbrafer (8:15:06 PM): *Anti-XBox zealot ever since Microsoft bought out Bungie*
CirclMastr (8:15:30 PM): *Same*
MilesMk1 (8:16:03 PM): Ah. I bought mine for Knigts of the Old Republic. I'm sorry, no amount of MS-hate is keeping me away from a SW game made by Bioware. :)
Thematrian1 (8:16:22 PM): Wait, wasn't there a PC version of that? Not that this LotR game isn't proving the worthiness of your investment...
CirclMastr (8:16:32 PM): There is a PC version of KOTOR
CirclMastr (8:16:38 PM): And it's better since it has mods.
MilesMk1 (8:17:59 PM): ...which came out 9 months later, and I couldn't risk not getting my hands on it if lower Manhattan got nuked in the meantimes. Gotta have priorities. ;)
Thematrian1 (8:18:20 PM): 9 months? Dayum. I knew I was out of it then, but...dayum.
Thematrian1 (8:18:34 PM): ::burns his 'informed gamer' hat::
MilesMk1 (8:19:03 PM): KOTOR 2 is coming out for multiple platforms in a much shorter time frame.
CirclMastr (8:19:04 PM): Oh please
Thematrian1 (8:19:26 PM): KOTOR 2? ::dies of joy::
CirclMastr (8:19:41 PM): ...Yes
MilesMk1 (8:20:00 PM): Yup. Coming out in December for consoles, a couple months later (hopefully) for the PC.
Thematrian1 (8:20:29 PM): (Although, I guess the odds are against my laptop being able to run it. I've not played the original KotOR either :-/)
MilesMk1 (8:20:59 PM): I repeat my offer. ;)
Thematrian1 (8:21:49 PM): No, seriously, that thing would eat my soul
Thematrian1 (8:21:55 PM): plus, come to think of it, I'd need a TV
MilesMk1 (8:23:15 PM): Sell your soul, use the money to buy a TV? :p
MilesMk1 (8:26:32 PM): BTW, I hope I'm not holding anything up?
Umbrafer (8:26:51 PM): No, we're busy trying and failing to make sense of a machine.
CirclMastr (8:26:58 PM): Machines are EVIL!
Umbrafer (8:27:06 PM): We'll get started shortly regardless of status.
MilesMk1 (8:27:24 PM): Take your time. :)
MilesMk1 (8:27:36 PM): I'm killing wargs.
CirclMastr (8:33:40 PM): FYI: the property Phaeton is sitting on is now up for auction.
Umbrafer (8:33:58 PM): Mmkay.
Umbrafer (8:34:39 PM): What're the stats of what he's sitting on, again?
CirclMastr (8:35:46 PM): List price is $120, it's the 'best' of the light blue set.
CirclMastr (8:36:00 PM): If you want full stats, it'll take a sec.
Umbrafer (8:36:37 PM): *Nods*
CirclMastr (8:36:45 PM): So you want full?
Umbrafer (8:37:04 PM): Sure
CirclMastr (8:37:18 PM): K, hang on
CirclMastr (8:39:12 PM): Rent: $8. Rent w/houses: $40, $100, $300, $450. Houses cost $50. Mortgages for $60.
Umbrafer (8:40:14 PM): Mmkay. I'll put up a bid after we've gotten stuff sorted out.
Thematrian1 (8:40:51 PM): (Heh. At this rate, we're going to have started at 9 anyway)
MilesMk1 (8:40:55 PM): What are the rules for building houses, BTW? Do you need to own all pieces of a particular property, first? I forget...
CirclMastr (8:41:21 PM): Yes.
Thematrian1 (8:41:36 PM): and you need to stay balanced in your house development, right>
Thematrian1 (8:41:37 PM): ?
CirclMastr (8:41:45 PM): Right.
MilesMk1 (8:43:31 PM): I'll probably be putting in a bid as well.
Umbrafer (8:44:02 PM): I bid more! ;)
CirclMastr (8:44:05 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (8:44:33 PM): what's the increment for bidding?
CirclMastr (8:45:03 PM): Any dollar amount, but if you continuously bid up by $1 I'll smite you financially.
Thematrian1 (8:45:10 PM): gotcha
Umbrafer (8:47:59 PM): We'll be ready to go very shortly. In the meantime, strategize amongst yourselves.
Thematrian1 (8:48:10 PM): MacLeod, please kill the mage
CirclMastr (8:48:13 PM): Where exactly did we leave off?
Thematrian1 (8:48:20 PM): You were about to kill the mage
CirclMastr (8:48:31 PM): Um, okay.
Thematrian1 (8:48:33 PM): (hang on, I'll post the log)
CirclMastr (8:48:36 PM): I have no memory of last week.
MilesMk1 (8:49:15 PM): I shot at the mage, failed to do anything.
MilesMk1 (8:49:38 PM): After I turned the door to toothpicks with my improvised charge.
Thematrian1 (8:50:02 PM): http://www.sotsw.net/runs/Jon%2010-28-04.htm
Umbrafer (8:50:48 PM): The door and a good chunk of the hallway.
Thematrian1 (8:52:01 PM): (Oh, and the last half of that is us kibitzing/buying stuff for the Tuesday game. Jon: should I edit out stuff like that in the future?)
Umbrafer (8:52:44 PM): (Up to you. Might make more sense to divide it off somehow rather than removing it, though.)
Thematrian1 (8:57:09 PM): So: game?
Umbrafer (8:57:39 PM): Sounds good.
Umbrafer (8:58:27 PM): So Glitch has been failing to take down Mr. Magepants.
Thematrian1 (8:58:59 PM): Which mage was also fending off my spirit
Umbrafer (8:59:09 PM): Indeed
Umbrafer (8:59:17 PM): INT, everyone.
Thematrian1 (8:59:23 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 1 4 1 3
Thematrian1 (8:59:29 PM): (unless you meant initiative?)
Thematrian1 (8:59:35 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (8:59:51 PM): (INT, not init)
MilesMk1 (8:59:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 6 1 2 3 2 1 2
MilesMk1 (9:00:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (9:00:04 PM): 11
Thematrian1 (9:00:08 PM): 7, crap
Umbrafer (9:00:51 PM): AMacLeod?
Umbrafer (9:00:56 PM): *-A
CirclMastr (9:02:03 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CirclMastr (9:02:17 PM): (8 if I'm not mistaken)
CirclMastr (9:02:29 PM): (Yup)
Thematrian1 (9:02:43 PM): (Your intelligence is one?)
Umbrafer (9:03:07 PM): (I'm rather confused by that myself)
MilesMk1 (9:03:12 PM): (He rolled INIT)
Umbrafer (9:03:16 PM): (Ah)
Umbrafer (9:03:20 PM): (Intelligence)
MilesMk1 (9:03:24 PM): (As oppsed to INT)
CirclMastr (9:03:56 PM): ..
CirclMastr (9:04:00 PM): (I'm so fucking confused)
CirclMastr (9:04:11 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
CirclMastr (9:04:13 PM): ...
CirclMastr (9:04:15 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 3 3 1
CirclMastr (9:04:22 PM): Can I have those 6's back?
Umbrafer (9:04:29 PM): Heh
Umbrafer (9:04:35 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (9:05:09 PM): Sure, why not. Just in case the players don't, the characters remember that there is still a drone inside that, while missing an arm, has not been confirmed disabled/destroyed.
Thematrian1 (9:05:34 PM): Although we took its ammo
MilesMk1 (9:05:48 PM): (Uh... No, that was the drone outside.)
Umbrafer (9:05:48 PM): Er
Umbrafer (9:05:51 PM): Other drone.
Umbrafer (9:05:55 PM): It
Thematrian1 (9:05:59 PM): Ah, the one barring the door?
Umbrafer (9:06:00 PM): It'd be hard to take this one's ammo.
Umbrafer (9:06:03 PM): Yeah
MilesMk1 (9:06:04 PM): (This is the one that was holding the door. I blew its arm off.)
Umbrafer (9:06:11 PM): (Formerly doing so, that is)
Umbrafer (9:07:33 PM): So. Non-combat actions, or are you rolling init and rushing>?
MilesMk1 (9:08:43 PM): I'm all out of stuff to do...
Thematrian1 (9:09:00 PM): I'm ready to roll
CirclMastr (9:09:04 PM): MacLeod has been out of stuff to do forever.
MilesMk1 (9:09:15 PM): The only thing I havent tried yet it disabling the mage's PDA, I'm at a limit of my skills here. :)
Umbrafer (9:11:10 PM): Well then, let's get them bones rolling.
Thematrian1 (9:11:17 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (9:11:17 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 2 6 3 6 3 5 4 4 2 1 4 5 5 6
MilesMk1 (9:11:22 PM): Although I'll be sidling in, rather than rushing...
CirclMastr (9:11:23 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (9:11:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 6
Thematrian1 (9:11:26 PM): woo. 7
MilesMk1 (9:11:27 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 6
Umbrafer (9:11:34 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (9:11:36 PM): 13
Thematrian1 (9:11:45 PM): (We have the worst init in the business)
Umbrafer (9:12:03 PM): (It does seem somewhat anticlimactic after the Tuesday group's initiative)
Umbrafer (9:12:17 PM): (Speed ain't everything, though)
CirclMastr (9:12:28 PM): 7 here
Umbrafer (9:14:15 PM): Gem still dual-natured, or no?
Thematrian1 (9:14:22 PM): still dual-natured
Umbrafer (9:15:07 PM): Ok. You can now quite clearly see on the astral a spell in a flat sheet across a good chunk of the room. I may have already mentioned this, but the area inside looks much, much cleaner.
Thematrian1 (9:15:33 PM): A-ha
Umbrafer (9:16:05 PM): Nothing else appears to happen before Glitch gets his action.
MilesMk1 (9:17:30 PM): Glitch moves up to whichever side of the ruined door provides the best cover, and shoots anyone who's not the mage. If the only person visible is the mage, he moves back out of LOS.
Umbrafer (9:18:02 PM): Neither side of the ruined door provides cover to speak of at this point.
MilesMk1 (9:18:57 PM): Well... There is still a wall around the doorway, right?
Umbrafer (9:19:10 PM): Yes.
Umbrafer (9:19:35 PM): Ah, I see.
Umbrafer (9:19:43 PM): Perception.
Thematrian1 (9:19:48 PM): all?
MilesMk1 (9:19:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 4 6 5 3
MilesMk1 (9:19:55 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (9:19:59 PM): No, just Glitch at the moment.
Umbrafer (9:20:31 PM): You don't notice anyone but the mage offhand, though you do hear the sound of servoes off to one side.
Umbrafer (9:21:20 PM): Gem?
MilesMk1 (9:21:24 PM): In that case, I move back out of the mage's LOS and say #I still hear the drone inside#
Umbrafer (9:21:39 PM): (Well, who has higher Reaction, Gem or MacLeod?)
Thematrian1 (9:22:04 PM): mine's 5
CirclMastr (9:22:06 PM): (Gem, most likely. I got 4)
Umbrafer (9:22:23 PM): Gem
Thematrian1 (9:22:24 PM): I also get out of LOS. Is there a window I can lean out of?
Umbrafer (9:23:06 PM): The ones in this stretch of hallway are all boarded up. There are ones back a ways, like the one Glitch entered through.
Thematrian1 (9:23:25 PM): in that case, I move onto the wall opposite Glitch
Umbrafer (9:23:46 PM): Anything further?
Thematrian1 (9:24:08 PM): draw my pistol
Umbrafer (9:24:30 PM): Weapon readied. MacLeod?
CirclMastr (9:24:39 PM): Mage in LOS?
Umbrafer (9:25:07 PM): You're more or less at a corner, so that's your decision.
CirclMastr (9:26:41 PM): Well, can I decide yes, and thus charge him and cut him down?
Umbrafer (9:26:57 PM): You can try. Quickness?
CirclMastr (9:27:06 PM): 5
Umbrafer (9:28:24 PM): It'll take you pretty much the entire combat turn to get there
Umbrafer (9:29:13 PM): However, the distance to anything this side of the room would be within reach.
CirclMastr (9:29:17 PM): I can't attack too with the Running TN mod?
Umbrafer (9:29:41 PM): Not this turn. Also, IIRC there isn't a Running TN mod for melee.
CirclMastr (9:30:15 PM): Damn.
Umbrafer (9:31:02 PM): Any action?
CirclMastr (9:31:33 PM): Just move as close as I can while staying behind cover.
Umbrafer (9:32:18 PM): That'd be up to the doorway. From there you could make it in one combat turn, but it isn't a huge amount of cover.
Umbrafer (9:33:02 PM): Going there?
CirclMastr (9:33:36 PM): Sure.
Umbrafer (9:33:59 PM): Further lack of apparent action brings us back to Glitch.
MilesMk1 (9:34:32 PM): Tries to spot the drone, and/or anyone else, and shoot them. Then sticks his head back out of sight.
MilesMk1 (9:34:41 PM): (besides the damn mage)
Umbrafer (9:34:59 PM): You're going past the doorway?
Umbrafer (9:35:04 PM): Or trying without going past?
MilesMk1 (9:35:35 PM): Just sticking my head and gun hand around the edge of the doorway.
Umbrafer (9:36:02 PM): Perception.
MilesMk1 (9:36:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 1 5 3 5
MilesMk1 (9:36:21 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (9:37:02 PM): You notice that the drone is hugging the wall tightly. There's no good shot without breaking cover, though you're free to try a bad one.
MilesMk1 (9:37:18 PM): I'll try a bad one.
MilesMk1 (9:37:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 4 4 6
MilesMk1 (9:37:29 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Umbrafer (9:37:40 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 5 3 2 2 3 1 4 5 5 3 6 6 5 2
Umbrafer (9:37:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
Umbrafer (9:37:57 PM): Hard to see if you hit it or not.
Umbrafer (9:38:18 PM): If you're trying to pull back, that's all you get. If you don't mind staying somewhat exposed, you can try again.
MilesMk1 (9:38:50 PM): I pull back.
Umbrafer (9:39:24 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 2 3 5 6 5 1 5 6 5 3 6 3 4 4
Umbrafer (9:39:29 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 6
Umbrafer (9:39:35 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (9:39:41 PM): Bullets spatter the area where you were.
Umbrafer (9:40:43 PM): Reinitiative.
Umbrafer (9:40:43 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 1 1 2 5 4 1 4 3 3 5 1 5 6 4
Thematrian1 (9:40:50 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (9:40:55 PM): woo. 9
MilesMk1 (9:41:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
MilesMk1 (9:41:22 PM): 14!
Umbrafer (9:42:58 PM): (MacLeod?)
MilesMk1 (9:43:16 PM): It's ironic, I think the world would make a lot more sense if Blake and Glitch switched places...
CirclMastr (9:43:38 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (9:43:40 PM): Or if my Saturday group and this group switched places.
Umbrafer (9:43:43 PM): 9?
CirclMastr (9:43:43 PM): 9
MilesMk1 (9:43:48 PM): Not that I'm saying I'd want them to.
Umbrafer (9:44:02 PM): Glitch.
MilesMk1 (9:45:03 PM): Shoot the drone twice. (staying exposed this time)
MilesMk1 (9:45:09 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 3 1 6 5
MilesMk1 (9:45:13 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:45:17 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 4 4 2 1
Umbrafer (9:45:18 PM): Staying in cover, or going out to do so?
MilesMk1 (9:45:21 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:45:26 PM): (staying in cover)
Umbrafer (9:45:55 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 6 3 6 2 5 4 3 4 3 6 1 3
Umbrafer (9:46:27 PM): You hear the clear sound of metal ringing off metal, but you can't tell how much it actually did. The second shot either didn't hit metal or missed.
Umbrafer (9:48:04 PM): Gem.
Thematrian1 (9:48:23 PM): peek around the corner. What are the mage and my spirit doing?
Umbrafer (9:49:06 PM): Your spirit seems to be tangled up in something blue and flowing. It doesn't appear to be enjoying the experience terribly, though it is still kicking.
Thematrian1 (9:49:29 PM): Do I have to be next to him in realspace to astrally assault him?
Umbrafer (9:49:50 PM): Either that or projecting, yes.
Thematrian1 (9:49:54 PM): frown
Umbrafer (9:50:05 PM): Well
Umbrafer (9:50:09 PM): Define "astrally assault"/
Thematrian1 (9:50:13 PM): Do I have a clear shot at the drone from my angle?
Thematrian1 (9:50:24 PM): Beat up on via astral combat, using Charisma
Umbrafer (9:50:40 PM): Nope, that's the astral equivalent of melee combat.
Umbrafer (9:50:57 PM): No clear shot. You would either have to be occupying the same space as Glitch or go through the door.
Thematrian1 (9:51:26 PM): We're on opposite sides of the door, I thought?
Umbrafer (9:52:08 PM): Yes, but there's no clear shot on the drone without sticking your head all the way around the side you're on.
Thematrian1 (9:52:28 PM): bah. I pull away. I'm done.
Umbrafer (9:53:11 PM): Incoming shot on Glitch from drone.
Umbrafer (9:53:17 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 5 3 3 4 5 5 5 2 4 3 1 4
Umbrafer (9:53:28 PM): No hit. Wall gets chewed up, though.
Umbrafer (9:54:18 PM): And it is MacLeod's turn to shine.
CirclMastr (9:54:28 PM): Now can I charge and slice?
Umbrafer (9:54:34 PM): Go for it.
CirclMastr (9:55:02 PM): (Throw in 3 combat pool)
CirclMastr (9:55:04 PM): CirclMastr rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 4 6 2 1 5 6 6 1 4
CirclMastr (9:55:06 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 1 2
CirclMastr (9:55:16 PM): (8, 8, 7, 5, 5, 4, 4)
Umbrafer (9:55:28 PM): Reaction test first.
CirclMastr (9:55:35 PM): ...
CirclMastr (9:55:38 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 6
CirclMastr (9:55:40 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
CirclMastr (9:55:43 PM): (8)
Umbrafer (9:56:02 PM): Ok. You have a choice at this point:
Umbrafer (9:56:31 PM): There's an incoming melee attack from above the doorway. You can either keep running and take TN mods on defending against that, or stop there to defend properly.
CirclMastr (9:57:04 PM): Keep running, unless somehow the above attacker is the mage.
Umbrafer (9:57:59 PM): Nope. They are using a machete, though, and you'd be at +1 TN for defending.
CirclMastr (9:58:54 PM): Fine.
Umbrafer (9:59:00 PM): Roll it.
CirclMastr (9:59:02 PM): I've got Reach still, right?
CirclMastr (9:59:10 PM): Can I use that to negate the +1?
Umbrafer (9:59:45 PM): No, as I'm using the stats for a sword (we're talking a decently long machete here). Unless you've got +2 somewhere I didn't notice.
CirclMastr (9:59:58 PM): No
CirclMastr (10:00:03 PM): I'll use my other 4 CP then
CirclMastr (10:00:15 PM): CirclMastr rolled 11 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 5 1 5 4 2 1 3 6
CirclMastr (10:00:18 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
CirclMastr (10:00:26 PM): (11, 8, 5x3)
Umbrafer (10:00:30 PM): Umbrafer rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 3 1 2 6 1 4 3
Umbrafer (10:00:55 PM): You get some hair taken off, but you slip on by somehow.
Umbrafer (10:01:08 PM): The mage is rather surprised to see you all of a sudden.
Umbrafer (10:01:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 5 4
Umbrafer (10:01:57 PM): Not quite as surprised as he could have been, but pretty darn surprised nonetheless.
Umbrafer (10:02:04 PM): Umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 6 2 6 6 6 6 2 5 6 6 3
Umbrafer (10:02:19 PM): (Power 13, right?)
Thematrian1 (10:02:24 PM): (8 out of 12. I am impressed)
CirclMastr (10:02:25 PM): Right.
CirclMastr (10:02:34 PM): I HATE you and your dice.
Umbrafer (10:02:35 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 1 5 1 5 1 5 2
Umbrafer (10:03:51 PM): The mage cries out and slumps backwards, rather leakier than before.
Umbrafer (10:04:56 PM): Any victory dances or gloating?
CirclMastr (10:05:06 PM): Not just yet.
CirclMastr (10:05:09 PM): Is he dead?
Thematrian1 (10:05:19 PM): (and there are two unaccounted for)
Umbrafer (10:05:26 PM): Not quite. Which is impressive, given that after adjustment the Power of that attack was 17.
Umbrafer (10:05:47 PM): Gem sees all spells drop. What is MacLeod's Willpower?
CirclMastr (10:05:52 PM): Then he must have some huge armor.
CirclMastr (10:05:59 PM): 5
CirclMastr (10:06:09 PM): I don't even want to know why.
Thematrian1 (10:06:14 PM): #The spells are down#
Umbrafer (10:06:19 PM): Umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 6 1 2 1 5 2 1 1

Umbrafer (10:07:11 PM): One success
CirclMastr (10:07:20 PM): I was going to say, he gets no penalty?
Umbrafer (10:07:27 PM): No pain editor for this mage.
CirclMastr (10:07:41 PM): Resisted with Willpower, right?
Umbrafer (10:07:45 PM): Yep
CirclMastr (10:07:47 PM): CirclMastr rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 6 3 6 6
CirclMastr (10:07:51 PM): Ha
Umbrafer (10:07:52 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 3 2 4 1 2 1
Thematrian1 (10:07:57 PM): sucks to be him
Umbrafer (10:08:02 PM): Just a tad.
CirclMastr (10:08:03 PM): Yup
Umbrafer (10:08:35 PM): If he weren't a bloody mess to begin with, you'd be able to tell that he was slightly more haggard than before he tried that. He is, though, and thus you can't.
Umbrafer (10:08:47 PM): Glitch?
MilesMk1 (10:09:35 PM): Shoot the mage twice.
MilesMk1 (10:09:42 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 2 3 5 4

Umbrafer (10:09:50 PM): TN mod for partial cover from MacLeod.
Umbrafer (10:09:58 PM): Only +2 Partial
CirclMastr (10:10:02 PM): Please don't shoot me.
MilesMk1 (10:10:08 PM): So looking for 4's?
Umbrafer (10:10:34 PM): Given your vast range of vismods. 5s, actually, as you're outside five meters.
MilesMk1 (10:10:43 PM): Big room.
MilesMk1 (10:11:20 PM): Um... I probably should have asked before I rolled - what's my chance of hitting MacLeod? I assumed I just got a TN mod.
Umbrafer (10:11:45 PM): It didn't come up in those rolls, but a miss would have prompted a roll.
MilesMk1 (10:11:58 PM): So, did I hit the bastard?
Umbrafer (10:12:32 PM): Yes. Twice.
Umbrafer (10:12:38 PM): I'm tempted to not bother rolling.
Umbrafer (10:12:49 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 2
MilesMk1 (10:12:54 PM): Power 11.
Umbrafer (10:12:57 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 4
Umbrafer (10:13:09 PM): Four boxes is two too many.
Umbrafer (10:13:13 PM): He drops.

Umbrafer (10:14:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (10:15:21 PM): Three-round burst with one success incoming. Damage code 11S.
MilesMk1 (10:15:32 PM): Dodge TN?
Umbrafer (10:15:52 PM): 5, unless you've got other modifiers I've forgotten
MilesMk1 (10:16:08 PM): Ok...
MilesMk1 (10:16:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 6 1 2 2 3 6 6
MilesMk1 (10:16:29 PM): Might have been an overreaction, but with my luck...
Umbrafer (10:16:35 PM): This a soak, or were you using a huge amount of dice to dodge?
MilesMk1 (10:16:39 PM): Dodge.
Umbrafer (10:16:45 PM): You dodge that mofo.
Umbrafer (10:16:52 PM): (Yes, I did just say that.)
Umbrafer (10:17:12 PM): The thing wheels and gives its second burst at our brave MacLeod.

CirclMastr (10:17:49 PM): I'm out of CP
MilesMk1 (10:17:50 PM): (Is that at +2 TN for shooting at a different target?)
Umbrafer (10:17:55 PM): (Yep)
Umbrafer (10:18:53 PM): And we return to Gem.
Thematrian1 (10:19:15 PM): Peek around the door again. In particular, I look up.;
Umbrafer (10:19:47 PM): You're looking at someone holding a machete with a disturbing, nearly ear-to-ear grin.
Umbrafer (10:19:58 PM): They are hanging from the ceiling. You aren't entirely sure how.
Thematrian1 (10:20:06 PM): Race? Aggressive behavior?
Umbrafer (10:21:04 PM): Appears human, though you wouldn't put it past him to be an elf. Definitely too thin for an Ork, too tall for a Dwarf, and too non-Troll for a Troll.
MilesMk1 (10:21:21 PM): (Aside from swinging a machete at me and and MacLeod?)
Umbrafer (10:21:48 PM): Aggressive behavior not immediately apparent, though if you want to wait for his initiative pass you can better observe. ;)
Thematrian1 (10:22:11 PM): Screw it. I shoot him twice.
Umbrafer (10:22:25 PM): Roll it.
Thematrian1 (10:22:32 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 2 2 1 1
Thematrian1 (10:22:35 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 6 5 3 1
Thematrian1 (10:22:40 PM): No pool in either case
Umbrafer (10:23:13 PM): Any mods?
CirclMastr (10:23:35 PM): (My keyboard has gotten a life of its own)
MilesMk1 (10:23:42 PM): (Smartlink, right? Right?)
Thematrian1 (10:23:49 PM): (Er...not as such)
Thematrian1 (10:23:56 PM): (No mods)
Umbrafer (10:24:50 PM): (What kind of life of its own?)
Umbrafer (10:24:53 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 6
Umbrafer (10:24:58 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (10:25:04 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6

Umbrafer (10:25:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 5
Umbrafer (10:26:00 PM): He manages to get out of the way of the shots, but he ends up having to leave his perch. He lands on the floor about a meter and a half away.
Thematrian1 (10:27:02 PM): #New target#
Thematrian1 (10:27:05 PM): Done and done
CirclMastr (10:27:07 PM): (Typing on its own)
Umbrafer (10:27:25 PM): (Anyone else with a wireless keyboard nearby?)
CirclMastr (10:27:30 PM): (No)
CirclMastr (10:27:46 PM): (It's not typing anything intelligible)
Umbrafer (10:28:07 PM): I think I goofed on init by adding in a second pass for everyone when people should have only gotten one, but let's run with it. MacLeod?
MilesMk1 (10:28:37 PM): (Kill the drone!)
CirclMastr (10:28:52 PM): (Yeah right)
Umbrafer (10:29:14 PM): (With a Power of 13, you've got a better shot than anyone else here)
CirclMastr (10:29:17 PM): *gets all slashy-slashly on the machete bitch*
Umbrafer (10:29:35 PM): You turn around, run all the way back to where you were, and get slashy-slashy ;)
CirclMastr (10:30:02 PM): (lol. I want revenge!)
CirclMastr (10:30:05 PM): (3 CP)

CirclMastr (10:30:18 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (10:30:22 PM): (So, do I get an extra pass this round, too? I had 2 normally)
Umbrafer (10:30:30 PM): (Sure)
Umbrafer (10:30:44 PM): (We'll be equitable to the speedy amongst us)
Umbrafer (10:31:04 PM): Umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 2 6 6 2 5 6 6 4 5 1 2
Umbrafer (10:31:23 PM): Ouch. Eight successes each way, but ties go to the attacker.
Umbrafer (10:31:28 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 5 2 2 3
Umbrafer (10:31:39 PM): Number of sixes notwithstanding.
Umbrafer (10:31:50 PM): Umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 5 3 4 3 2 4 1 1 4
Umbrafer (10:32:06 PM): Yeah, you get all slashy-slashy on him.
Umbrafer (10:32:41 PM): Seriously so, in fact. You can see bone in his arm, and his stomach should not be dripping blood like tht.
CirclMastr (10:32:56 PM): Yes, yes it should.
Umbrafer (10:34:00 PM): The physad turns tail and runs, sprinting for one of the walls. Glitch's extra pass?
MilesMk1 (10:34:35 PM): Shooting the drone.
MilesMk1 (10:34:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 3 1 6
MilesMk1 (10:34:49 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 1 5 5 3 6
Umbrafer (10:34:59 PM): Staying in cover, or getting out to do so?
CirclMastr (10:35:02 PM): (Insanity again)
MilesMk1 (10:35:19 PM): Getting out. Hopefully I'll live.
MilesMk1 (10:35:32 PM): Hopefully, I needed no more than 3's,
Umbrafer (10:35:57 PM): Base TN 2 after smartlink, +1 Attacker Walking. Anything else?
MilesMk1 (10:36:30 PM): Nope.
MilesMk1 (10:36:47 PM): Die, you box of shit!
Umbrafer (10:37:05 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 1 6 4 4 3 3

Umbrafer (10:37:34 PM): Power 11, you say?
MilesMk1 (10:37:38 PM): Yeah.
Umbrafer (10:37:44 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 4
Umbrafer (10:38:00 PM): The thing is sparking nastily.
Umbrafer (10:38:52 PM): Init time again.
CirclMastr (10:38:58 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
CirclMastr (10:39:01 PM): 9
MilesMk1 (10:39:04 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
MilesMk1 (10:39:07 PM): 11
Thematrian1 (10:39:13 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:39:15 PM): 6
Umbrafer (10:39:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 6 3 1
Umbrafer (10:40:09 PM): The Physad goes first, gets to a window, and starts clambering out of it. Glitch is next.
MilesMk1 (10:40:36 PM): So, the physad hasn't gotten out, right?
MilesMk1 (10:40:44 PM): He's still in LOS.
Umbrafer (10:40:50 PM): The physad is partly out the window, but still in LOS.
MilesMk1 (10:41:33 PM): OK... Glitch walks back to get out of the drone's line of fire, and shoots the physad twice. (he does those things in whichever order they make more sense)
Umbrafer (10:41:49 PM): The reverse of what you have there.
MilesMk1 (10:41:53 PM): Ok.
MilesMk1 (10:41:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 4 5 5 1 4 1 2
MilesMk1 (10:42:02 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 1 4 5 6 1 5 3
Umbrafer (10:42:16 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 5 5 6 4 5 3 1
Umbrafer (10:42:52 PM): He slumps, then sorta slides the rest of the way out, leaving a large smear of blood.
MilesMk1 (10:43:03 PM): Yay!
MilesMk1 (10:43:25 PM): That'll teach you to swing machetes at me.
CirclMastr (10:43:42 PM): He swung it at ME
MilesMk1 (10:43:48 PM): He swung at me first.
MilesMk1 (10:44:01 PM): Two sessions or so ago.
CirclMastr (10:44:12 PM): Don't live in the past, Glitch.
Umbrafer (10:45:00 PM): Bad Glitch, holding grudges for under sixty minutes of game-time :)
Umbrafer (10:46:07 PM): Next up, the drone takes a shot at MacLeod.
Umbrafer (10:46:12 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
Umbrafer (10:46:36 PM): Two successes on a single 8M shot incoming.
Umbrafer (10:46:39 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 6
Umbrafer (10:46:45 PM): And another one on the same.
CirclMastr (10:47:26 PM): 2 CP per shot, prayer time.
CirclMastr (10:47:30 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
CirclMastr (10:47:34 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 3
CirclMastr (10:47:38 PM): And I dodge neither.
Umbrafer (10:47:48 PM): Er?
Umbrafer (10:47:53 PM): What are your mods?
CirclMastr (10:48:00 PM): Huh?
CirclMastr (10:48:10 PM): I got one success against each shot
Umbrafer (10:48:18 PM): Right, and the second shot only had one success
Umbrafer (10:48:21 PM): So you dodged one
CirclMastr (10:48:23 PM): Oh
CirclMastr (10:48:41 PM): So, 5 points of armor, 3M? Or did you account for that?
Umbrafer (10:48:42 PM): So resist 8M modified by armor as usual.
CirclMastr (10:48:46 PM): Okay, 3/+\Mv
CirclMastr (10:48:53 PM): ...See, that's my keyboard coming alive
CirclMastr (10:49:16 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 4 2 6
CirclMastr (10:49:24 PM): Well, reduced it to L
Umbrafer (10:50:04 PM): It almost made sense to me, though
Umbrafer (10:50:35 PM): Next up is Gem.
Umbrafer (10:50:40 PM): Er
Umbrafer (10:50:42 PM): Correction
Umbrafer (10:50:50 PM): Next up, if I properly reorder my init list, is Macleod.
Umbrafer (10:50:52 PM): *:
Umbrafer (10:50:55 PM): *L
Thematrian1 (10:51:09 PM): He already got to stab the physad
CirclMastr (10:51:24 PM): That was a while ago
Thematrian1 (10:51:24 PM): or chop the physad, or fillet the physad
MilesMk1 (10:51:26 PM): That was last turn.
Thematrian1 (10:51:36 PM): rigfht, sorry
MilesMk1 (10:51:37 PM): This turn, the physad went first and ran away, then I shot him
CirclMastr (10:51:40 PM): *rushes the drone and hacks at it*
Umbrafer (10:51:49 PM): Roll Dronehacking.
CirclMastr (10:51:55 PM): CirclMastr rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 6 1 1 6
CirclMastr (10:52:41 PM): (WHY DOES MY KEYBOARD HATE ME?)
Umbrafer (10:52:56 PM): You dronehack for five successes. The drone has two body dice with which to resist. I'm going to roll just because I can.
Umbrafer (10:52:59 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
Umbrafer (10:53:18 PM): That may have been one success. I'm not going to bother calculating. There are now two pieces of drone.
CirclMastr (10:53:31 PM): "Fucking shoot at me..."
Thematrian1 (10:53:35 PM): ::is duly impressed::
CirclMastr (10:54:53 PM): Is that mage still alive?
Thematrian1 (10:55:08 PM): I walk over to the mage/the mage's body
MilesMk1 (10:55:18 PM): Are there any doors in this place?
Umbrafer (10:55:37 PM): The mage looks very much non-alive. Perception.
MilesMk1 (10:55:42 PM): *reloads*
MilesMk1 (10:55:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 3 3 3 2
MilesMk1 (10:55:50 PM): Yeah... Ok.
CirclMastr (10:55:51 PM): Everyone?
Umbrafer (10:55:56 PM): Everyone
Thematrian1 (10:55:59 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 5 2 1 2
CirclMastr (10:56:03 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 5
CirclMastr (10:56:06 PM): Damnit
CirclMastr (10:56:08 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 3 4 1
CirclMastr (10:56:13 PM): Double damnit
Umbrafer (10:56:41 PM): Gem notices a door that hadn't originally been in the far wall.
Thematrian1 (10:57:06 PM): ::points:: "Look. Someone added a doorway."
Thematrian1 (10:57:19 PM): ::searches the mage's pockets::
MilesMk1 (10:57:50 PM): "I think we need to hurry up... That drone was really sluggish towards the end there, which means the rigger unplugged and they're running for it."
Umbrafer (10:57:59 PM): A bisected credstick, a hold-out pistol, and the rod.
MilesMk1 (10:58:01 PM): *moves to the added door*
CirclMastr (10:58:07 PM): ::nods and heads through the door::
Thematrian1 (10:58:11 PM): ::grabs the rod:: Nothing focus-y?
Umbrafer (10:58:33 PM): Aside from the rod, no.
CirclMastr (10:58:54 PM): ::doorness::
Umbrafer (10:59:06 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 4 4 5 6
Umbrafer (10:59:15 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (10:59:25 PM): ::visits the door::
Umbrafer (10:59:56 PM): Four successes on a 6L single shot incoming on MacLeod, assuming he was in fact first through the door.
CirclMastr (11:00:49 PM): Screw dodging that
CirclMastr (11:01:05 PM): I bet I can get a pair of 2's on 4 dice
Umbrafer (11:01:11 PM): Four successes.
CirclMastr (11:01:14 PM): (If my keyboard behaves)
Umbrafer (11:01:27 PM): You'd need six twos.
Umbrafer (11:01:33 PM): (Scary, I know)
CirclMastr (11:01:48 PM): (4 CP to soak, then)
Thematrian1 (11:01:49 PM): (On four dice, it's tricky)
CirclMastr (11:01:53 PM): CirclMastr rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 2 6 6 5 3
Umbrafer (11:02:10 PM): You just sorta let it bounce off. It hurts, but not enough to care.
CirclMastr (11:02:53 PM): So do I get to know what the door opens up into?
Umbrafer (11:03:40 PM): A small office, with a terrified-looking man pointing a small gun at you.
Umbrafer (11:04:00 PM): The window on the far side has been blocked up quite securely. You can just see the top over a bookcase.
CirclMastr (11:04:27 PM): "Put the gun down." ::stands there holding bloody katana::
Umbrafer (11:04:56 PM): I don't think that's likely to make him put the gun down. Roll Intimidation.
CirclMastr (11:05:42 PM): (Defaulting to Charisma...)
CirclMastr (11:05:44 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 5 1
CirclMastr (11:05:47 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (11:06:14 PM): More than enough to intimidate him, not enough to intimidate him into doing exactly what you want him to do.
Umbrafer (11:06:28 PM): He takes another shot, his hands shaking.
Umbrafer (11:06:31 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 2 6 2 4
Umbrafer (11:06:38 PM): Three successes.
CirclMastr (11:06:51 PM): So I need four 2's?
Thematrian1 (11:07:00 PM): ::from over MacLeod's shoulder:: "Cooperate, and we won't hurt you. We're here for information."
Umbrafer (11:07:05 PM): Five 2s.
Umbrafer (11:07:29 PM): Roll intelligence.
CirclMastr (11:07:34 PM): Me?
Thematrian1 (11:07:49 PM): I?
MilesMk1 (11:07:56 PM): Does he look like our intended target?
Umbrafer (11:08:12 PM): Matt got a success. Yes, he does.
CirclMastr (11:09:47 PM): So I get to decap him?
MilesMk1 (11:09:58 PM): (He nearly killed me with those damn drones several times, and I still feel bad for him.)
MilesMk1 (11:10:08 PM): Can I shoot his gun?
Umbrafer (11:10:16 PM): (If he's the target he's a decker, not a rigger.) Go for it.
Thematrian1 (11:10:17 PM): (We don't know he's the rigger)
MilesMk1 (11:10:22 PM): (True.)
Umbrafer (11:10:51 PM): Called Shot, +6, +4 if you've got a Smartlink-2. +6 because technically you can't make this kind of called shot on a sub-vehicle-sized target)
MilesMk1 (11:11:08 PM): (Although unless he can think of some way of letting us take a piece of his CNS and leave him alive, I don't see any point in prolonging this...)
CirclMastr (11:11:42 PM): He shot me twice. I should get to hack him up.
Thematrian1 (11:12:02 PM): (I just want to know why our employers want him. It might come to nothing)
MilesMk1 (11:13:19 PM): I shoot the gun, twice.
MilesMk1 (11:13:29 PM): I do have SL-2.
MilesMk1 (11:13:42 PM): (well, twice if I have to)

MilesMk1 (11:13:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 1 5 5 5 3 3
MilesMk1 (11:14:08 PM): (Let's hope I don't have to.)
Umbrafer (11:14:46 PM): The gun explodes in a shower of metal fragments. The person cries out and cluthches their hand, backing away.
Thematrian1 (11:15:23 PM): "Let's start small. You're <targetname>, right?"
Umbrafer (11:16:48 PM): "Who— who are you?"
CirclMastr (11:17:10 PM): "Shall I cut his arm off?"
MilesMk1 (11:17:14 PM): "Are you the rigger, or is there still someone running around out there?"
MilesMk1 (11:17:30 PM): "Nah, you can never count on being able to stop the bleeding."
CirclMastr (11:17:41 PM): "Just a hand, then?"
Thematrian1 (11:17:42 PM): ::if he hesitates:: "Answer the gentleman."
Umbrafer (11:17:44 PM): "I, he, I don't know where he is. He moves around."
Thematrian1 (11:19:38 PM): "The roof. He'll need to collect his toys."
MilesMk1 (11:19:50 PM): "Where's the roof access? How did he get the drones up there?"
Umbrafer (11:20:36 PM): "There... there's a stair. Down the hall somewhere."
MilesMk1 (11:21:55 PM): "You guys have a talk with him, I'll go see if I can't find him."
MilesMk1 (11:22:25 PM): (scratch that, actually... It's late and if I run off, we'll never finish this.)
CirclMastr (11:22:31 PM): ::steps closer to him with sword pointed:: "So where's your deck?"
Umbrafer (11:22:59 PM): "I... in the bag, under the desk."
Umbrafer (11:23:07 PM): (There is indeed a desk off to one side of the room)
CirclMastr (11:23:57 PM): ::looks back at Gem:: "Would you mind?"
Thematrian1 (11:24:04 PM): "Not at all"
Thematrian1 (11:24:25 PM): ::goes, inspects the space under the desk, grabs any available bags and opens them::
Umbrafer (11:25:50 PM): There is indeed a bag. It includes a few OMCs, a half-eaten bag of krill flakes, some cables, and a deck.
Thematrian1 (11:26:00 PM): any good?
Umbrafer (11:26:27 PM): What, the krill flakes? ;)
Umbrafer (11:26:38 PM): It is not immediately obvious what kind of deck it is, but it seems well-kept./
Thematrian1 (11:27:17 PM): ::pockets the OMCs, leaves the flakes alone, hoists the deck::
Thematrian1 (11:27:30 PM): What's the guy's name?
Umbrafer (11:28:00 PM): Were you ever told?
CirclMastr (11:28:48 PM): Do we need anything else from this guy?
Thematrian1 (11:28:51 PM): I think so, yes. But...
Thematrian1 (11:28:54 PM): "Why are you here?"
MilesMk1 (11:28:58 PM): (Yes, we were.)
Umbrafer (11:29:49 PM): (Oh, ok. Honestly, I've forgotten what it is.)
Umbrafer (11:30:14 PM): "I... I'm hiding." He gives an almost embarrassed smile before going back to cowering.
CirclMastr (11:30:15 PM): So can I kill him now?
Thematrian1 (11:30:24 PM): "From who? Why?"
Thematrian1 (11:30:50 PM): ::a little exasperated:: "Control yourself. There's been plenty of killing already."
Umbrafer (11:31:04 PM): "I... made some mistakes."
Thematrian1 (11:31:11 PM): "Elaborate
CirclMastr (11:31:17 PM): (That was an OOC question)
Thematrian1 (11:31:32 PM): Oh. Sorry.
Thematrian1 (11:31:46 PM): At this rate, yeah.
Umbrafer (11:32:16 PM): "I sold something I shouldn't have. I don't really know what it was, some kind of list."
Thematrian1 (11:32:32 PM): "A list of what?"
Umbrafer (11:32:58 PM): "It had names, some addresses, phone numbers... I think it had SINs..."
Thematrian1 (11:33:53 PM): ::rubs the bridge of her nose:: "Fine. Great. MacLeod?"
Thematrian1 (11:34:09 PM): (We've been stalking a telemarketer?)
Umbrafer (11:34:30 PM): (Haven't you always wanted to?)
CirclMastr (11:34:31 PM): "Would that be my cue?"
Thematrian1 (11:34:54 PM): "By all means."
CirclMastr (11:35:32 PM): lncs3+\cs\v
Umbrafer (11:35:52 PM): Eh?
CirclMastr (11:35:56 PM): \+|/+\\\\N
Umbrafer (11:36:01 PM): Er...
Thematrian1 (11:36:07 PM): I'm guessing it's "Wow, my keyboard is screwed" for "I kill him"
Thematrian1 (11:36:13 PM): just a guess, you understand

Umbrafer (11:36:37 PM): .Are you sure something didn't spill into those keys or something?
CirclMastr (11:37:04 PM): AHEM
CirclMastr (11:37:12 PM): No, I didn't spill

MilesMk1 (11:40:33 PM): Um.... Anyone actually still there?
Umbrafer (11:40:35 PM): "Round and round the mulberry bush..."
CirclMastr has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (11:40:58 PM): well, that was odd
CirclMastr (11:41:03 PM): CirclMastr rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 3 1 3 4 4 4
CirclMastr (11:41:08 PM): ...Well that sucked
Thematrian1 (11:41:08 PM): like a netsplit, only AIMy
Thematrian1 (11:41:21 PM): I think you'll still manage to kill the unarmed man
Umbrafer (11:41:38 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 3 3 5
Umbrafer (11:41:48 PM): Yep, he tries to fight back but gets sliced.
Thematrian1 (11:43:54 PM): ::grabs the guy's head, puts it in his bag::
Umbrafer (11:44:16 PM): Done.
CirclMastr (11:44:30 PM): That was odd
Umbrafer (11:44:43 PM): Hm?
CirclMastr (11:44:47 PM): My keyboard AND mouse were briefly fucked
Umbrafer (11:44:52 PM): Hm.
CirclMastr (11:45:00 PM): Well actually it was over a full minute
Umbrafer (11:45:26 PM): Still relatively brief.
Thematrian1 (11:47:01 PM): ::offers MacLeod the deck:: "Still interested?"
CirclMastr (11:47:23 PM): "Yup, thanks" ::takes the deck::
Umbrafer (11:48:24 PM): (So you are giving him that one?)
Thematrian1 (11:48:55 PM): (Yep. I'll cry if it turns out to be Fairlight, but somehow I doubt that it will)
Umbrafer (11:49:10 PM): (What does Gem use?)
Thematrian1 (11:49:16 PM): (CMT Avatar)
MilesMk1 (11:49:48 PM): (By all rights, Glitch should be all over that thing, but I know nothing about decking, so I'm reluctant to even try...)
Umbrafer (11:49:57 PM): (It's no Fairlight, but it is a Kraftwerk-8.)

CirclMastr has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:51:06 PM): Yeah, that big blob up there
Umbrafer (11:52:56 PM): The sudden and continuing absence of Dave is a mite worrisome.
CirclMastr declined your invitation to chat.

Umbrafer (11:54:51 PM): Hm.
Umbrafer (11:55:14 PM): Much as I hate to stretch further, I don't think we're getting Dave back. Aftermath next week?
MilesMk1 (11:55:32 PM): He did log back on.
Umbrafer (11:55:39 PM): He did, but on the laptop;.
MilesMk1 (11:55:42 PM): Ah,
Thematrian1 (11:55:43 PM): mm. Aftermath and hunting down the rigger. I kinda want to steal those drones
Umbrafer (11:55:43 PM): So no chat.
MilesMk1 (11:55:57 PM): All right.
Umbrafer (11:59:06 PM): Incidentally, in recognition of the fact that we've got a de facto team even if it wasn't de iure previously, I'm going to start treating the group like a more traditional shadowrunning team. Feel free to mistrust each other all you
Umbrafer (11:59:24 PM): like, but until such time as we get more players, if it happens, we're back to normalcy.
MilesMk1 (12:00:39 AM): Ok... Good night, guys.
Thematrian1 (12:00:45 AM): sleep well
MilesMk1 (12:00:45 AM): See everyone Tuesday?
Umbrafer (12:00:51 AM): Sleep well, and Tuesday it is.
Thematrian1 (12:00:51 AM): I surely hope so
