Umbrafer (8:19:25 PM): \/\/007.
Umbrafer (8:19:49 PM): So, any thoughts as to how we play this?
Dragcrell (8:20:02 PM): ummm not get killed >_>
Umbrafer (8:20:04 PM): (I'll phone Adam if he doesn't show in 3-5 minutes)
Umbrafer (8:20:09 PM): Yeah, hoping for that bit.
Dragcrell (8:21:47 PM): I'm hambered for a bit untill I can work out a idea but I think as is I can keep the mage at lest busy
Umbrafer (8:22:16 PM): We're going to need to keep the guy in the van busy.
Umbrafer (8:22:29 PM): I'm not sure if I'll be able to shake him out with an acceleration test without losing a lot of other stuff.
Dragcrell (8:23:42 PM): *thinks* well i could try and scar him out >_>
MilesMk1 (8:23:46 PM): Well... Surprise round first - OIC goes down, and I should be able to take out at least one more cop.
Umbrafer (8:24:04 PM): With the shock glove?
MilesMk1 (8:24:17 PM): I was thinking more take the OICs gun and shoot someone.
MilesMk1 (8:24:22 PM): If possible.
Umbrafer (8:24:28 PM): I'll probably get jacked in and into the van with my held action, but beyond that I can't say.
Umbrafer (8:24:37 PM): Mm. Well, it's narcoject, so that works
MilesMk1 (8:24:43 PM): At the very least, though, OIC goes down, and I have his narcojet.
Thematrian1 (8:24:50 PM): Just a refresh on everyone's positions
Umbrafer (8:24:53 PM): Just be aware that they'll have a full combat turn to try to waste us
MilesMk1 (8:25:02 PM): They will?
Thematrian1 (8:25:20 PM): OIC beside the van to the left, Blake lies beside him, Rock facing him from ~10 feet away, Trickster in fox form behind him
Umbrafer (8:25:23 PM): Drugs take effect at the end of the combat turn.
MilesMk1 (8:25:31 PM): Oh, yeah, the people without 10 successes on the surprise test. :)
Umbrafer (8:25:47 PM): Drugs with an "Immediate" effect, that is.
Umbrafer (8:26:24 PM): *Digs for phone*
Umbrafer (8:26:32 PM): At least they're going to lose an entire initiative pass
Dragcrell (8:26:56 PM): mmm I think I'm still in the back of the van lest I dont' rember leaveing it
Thematrian1 (8:26:58 PM): Trickster behind Rock, that is
Thematrian1 (8:27:05 PM): You came out and sat next to Rock IIRC
Dragcrell (8:27:24 PM): mmm
Umbrafer (8:27:34 PM): Yep. Hopefully within easy reach.
Umbrafer (8:27:40 PM): (Of guy in van, that is)
Umbrafer (8:27:52 PM): Were you going for OIC or Bearded Officer?
Thematrian1 (8:27:57 PM): (Ah, there's the log. Nevermind, I'll just look at it)
MilesMk1 (8:28:09 PM): OIC was Bearded Officer, I thought.
Thematrian1 (8:28:16 PM): I thought that too
Umbrafer (8:28:25 PM): Oh
MilesMk1 (8:28:31 PM): Let me clarify something on surprise...
Umbrafer (8:28:46 PM): I thought I remembered you contrasting OIC's behavior with Bearded Officer's (and then there's the two acronyms)
Umbrafer (8:28:48 PM): Ah well.
Thematrian1 (8:29:51 PM): clarify something on surprise?
MilesMk1 (8:31:05 PM): Yeah... Does it just last for a single combat phase, or a whole round?
MilesMk1 (8:31:15 PM): Adam's here.
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (8:31:20 PM): and invited
EverGuard4 (8:31:25 PM): sorry
Thematrian1 (8:32:51 PM): right, so, when we left the team, it had just gotten into a fight with Eagle Security
Thematrian1 (8:32:59 PM): log is here: http://www.sotsw.net/runs/SotSW%2006-21-05.html
Thematrian1 (8:36:51 PM): So: Blake's surprise round action comes before anything anyone can do. Alex has a held action, but she needs to be in the van to jack in, IIRC.
MilesMk1 (8:37:42 PM): Ok... I do my best to remove one of OIC's legs.
Umbrafer (8:37:44 PM): Yep, but IIRC I'm right next to the van
Umbrafer (8:37:56 PM): So I should be well under the movement requirement for getting in and jacking in
Thematrian1 (8:38:23 PM): right, so stand as a Complex, then get in and jack in as a pair of simples
Thematrian1 (8:38:35 PM): Very well, Blake, let's see some Unarmed
MilesMk1 (8:38:35 PM): I envision it as punching him in the side of the knee.
MilesMk1 (8:38:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 4 1 5 3 5
Umbrafer (8:38:50 PM): Yep
MilesMk1 (8:38:54 PM): That's... 7S and 5M.
MilesMk1 (8:39:04 PM): And 5 successes, it looks like.
Umbrafer (8:39:06 PM): (Standing is Complex? I thought it was Simple. Either way, that's what I'm starting to do)
Thematrian1 (8:39:33 PM): (I'm honestly not sure. I've found nothing to contradict, but only because I've found nothing. Anyway, that'll be the ruling for now)
Thematrian1 (8:39:55 PM): ok. He gets Unarmed to defend himself, but no pool since he's surprised
Thematrian1 (8:40:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 6 5 6 6
MilesMk1 (8:40:09 PM): ....
Umbrafer (8:40:15 PM): Um
MilesMk1 (8:40:21 PM): Well, I sitll win.
Thematrian1 (8:40:23 PM): Ties in unarmed go to the attacker, right?
MilesMk1 (8:40:25 PM): Yeah.
Umbrafer (8:40:34 PM): By canon, he doesn't get Unarmed to defend himself
MilesMk1 (8:41:51 PM): (BTW, p. 106, SR3, bottom righ - change position - stand up or lie down - is a simple action.)
MilesMk1 (8:42:02 PM): (bottom left, I mean)
Thematrian1 (8:42:16 PM): (Awesome, thank you. Alex, you may stand and get in as an action, leaving you a simple on your next turn to direct drones or whatever)
Umbrafer (8:42:40 PM): (Good stuff)
Thematrian1 (8:43:23 PM): He tries to soak
Thematrian1 (8:43:26 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 5 5 6 4 5
Thematrian1 (8:43:28 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 6 1 5 4
MilesMk1 (8:43:49 PM): Lucky creep.
Thematrian1 (8:43:57 PM): I'll say.
Umbrafer (8:44:35 PM): (All the cops in the city and we have to be dealing with a professional…)
Thematrian1 (8:44:35 PM): Wow. Ok. As OIC draws, Blake breaks his knee sideways with a single punch. OIC controls his fall, and avoids being hit in the throat.
Umbrafer (8:44:47 PM): (Owwwww)
Thematrian1 (8:45:02 PM): (Well, if you need someplace to put your best men, 'the barricades' does make some sense)
Dragcrell (8:45:19 PM): ((lol))
Thematrian1 (8:45:21 PM): He's still having a terrible time, htough, and has lost interest in shooting anyone with his narcojet.
Thematrian1 (8:47:01 PM): We count down in 'number of successes on the reaction test' order, so:
Umbrafer (8:47:11 PM): Hopefully that doesn't mean that he's gained interest in shooting them with anything more lethal.
Dragcrell (8:47:59 PM): (frankly I would ratehr be shot with a gun then what ever the hell is in the narcojet >_>))
Thematrian1 (8:48:12 PM): next is Trickster, as his unmodified Reaction is higher. The fox is in the van with one of the cops
Umbrafer (8:48:26 PM): (As a matter of fact, most narcojects carry narcoject ;) )
Thematrian1 (8:48:45 PM): (Naroject? Not narcojet?)
Umbrafer (8:48:54 PM): (Yep)
Dragcrell (8:49:05 PM): where is the mage in relatshion to me?
Thematrian1 (8:49:06 PM): (Ject, inject, yeah, ok)
Umbrafer (8:49:11 PM): (Exactly)
Thematrian1 (8:49:30 PM): The mage is no longer in your line of sight; he took a few steps to follow Rock around the van doors
Dragcrell (8:50:04 PM): meft ok well I'll go for the one cop then a leg or other nice SOFT spot ^_^
Thematrian1 (8:50:23 PM): all right. Roll unarmed. You have surprise on the poor SOB
Dragcrell (8:50:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 5 3 1 5
Dragcrell (8:50:34 PM): ewww
MilesMk1 (8:50:38 PM): The one who thought you were so nice? Whose hand you licked? That's cold. ;)
Umbrafer (8:50:52 PM): Owwie. No pool?
Thematrian1 (8:51:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 2 6 3
Dragcrell (8:51:12 PM): ^_^ eh lifes a bitch
Dragcrell (8:51:25 PM): ((shit forgot about the pool
Thematrian1 (8:51:27 PM): You shred his pantleg and his flesh, but he's not seriously hurt
MilesMk1 (8:51:27 PM): You still won, I think.
MilesMk1 (8:51:53 PM): ...just not by a lot.
MilesMk1 (8:52:18 PM): (I was debating with myself whether to use more pool on OIC or not, but I figure he wouldn't roll all 5's and 6's... ;P )
Dragcrell (8:52:21 PM): eh well not like I would have done much anyway as I only have fangs to work with
Thematrian1 (8:52:34 PM): The mage acts. He stares at Rock's back...
Thematrian1 (8:53:29 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 6 1 1 6 5 5 5 3 4
MilesMk1 (8:54:12 PM): (Poor Rock.)
Umbrafer (8:54:19 PM): (C'mon, Rock's Willpower being 6 or higher!)
MilesMk1 (8:54:26 PM): (True...)
Dragcrell (8:54:28 PM): ((that might hurt >_>))
EverGuard4 (8:54:34 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 1 6 1 5 1 3
EverGuard4 (8:54:38 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 2
Thematrian1 (8:56:51 PM): There's no obvious effect.
MilesMk1 (8:57:23 PM): Yay!
MilesMk1 (8:57:37 PM): (Unless that's your way of saying the bleeding is internal...)
Umbrafer (8:57:48 PM): (Confusion spell! Abort before he Powerbolts us!)
Dragcrell (8:57:50 PM): (*snickers*)
Umbrafer (8:57:51 PM): ( ;) )
Thematrian1 (8:58:11 PM): Alex, your action follows.
Umbrafer (8:59:12 PM): Proceeding with my step-into-van-jack-in-ASAP plan.
Thematrian1 (8:59:30 PM): All right. You move into the van, grab the jack, and plug it in. You have a simple left over
Umbrafer (8:59:46 PM): Was I able to confirm that Trickster was in the back?
Thematrian1 (8:59:55 PM): Yes, Trickster is in the back.
Thematrian1 (9:00:03 PM): Only Blake and Rock are outside.
Umbrafer (9:00:07 PM): Then my leftover simple is to order all doors to slam closed.
Thematrian1 (9:00:16 PM): Wham!
MilesMk1 (9:00:19 PM): *shocked gasp*
Dragcrell (9:00:47 PM): ((woot joy I get to toy with the one :3))
Umbrafer (9:00:54 PM): #Avoiding snipers, I'm not going to leave you here.#
MilesMk1 (9:01:13 PM): (That was Matt joking. Should have put it in () )
Thematrian1 (9:01:33 PM): OIC acts. He gets his naroject pointed and Blake, and he fires
Thematrian1 (9:01:35 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 3 6 5 6 2 4 2
MilesMk1 (9:01:53 PM): Can he do that, if I beat him on the surprise test?
Umbrafer (9:02:06 PM): This is the next pass
MilesMk1 (9:02:11 PM): Ah.
MilesMk1 (9:02:44 PM): So my CP hasn't refreshed yet?
Thematrian1 (9:03:11 PM): No
MilesMk1 (9:03:21 PM): Well, let me know if I need to dodge... Though between shooting in melee and wound mods...
Umbrafer (9:03:46 PM): Well, either he's being very slow about rerolling or there are at least two successes
Thematrian1 (9:03:49 PM): yeah, you do need to dodge
MilesMk1 (9:04:00 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 3 1 5
MilesMk1 (9:04:05 PM): 2 successes...
MilesMk1 (9:04:09 PM): I think.
Thematrian1 (9:04:52 PM): indeed, two successess (no penalties to dodging while prone, as far as I know)
Thematrian1 (9:06:22 PM): that's enough. He narcojects the ground
Umbrafer (9:07:01 PM): *Thunk*
Thematrian1 (9:07:39 PM): The ground does not respond.
Thematrian1 (9:07:48 PM): Next: Rock
Umbrafer (9:07:55 PM): The earth doesn't need to resist damage until the end of the combat turn.
Thematrian1 (9:10:16 PM): (So everything is clear: the mage is behind Rock, and there's one non-OIC officer outside the van, though he's on the side that Alex lately vacated)
Thematrian1 (9:11:49 PM): That officer does something, but no one is in a position to see what
Umbrafer (9:12:04 PM): Not even the van's sensors?
Thematrian1 (9:12:44 PM): Heh, Alex is busy. Ask me again on her next action ;-)
MilesMk1 (9:12:45 PM): Actually, just to be even more diddicult, I could potentiall see his legs under the van. ;)
MilesMk1 (9:12:55 PM): difficult...
Umbrafer (9:13:14 PM): Fair enough :)
Thematrian1 (9:13:18 PM): If you want to look away from OIC, sure
MilesMk1 (9:13:30 PM): But I'm rolling on the ground getting shot at, so I might be viewed as busy too... :P
Thematrian1 (9:13:58 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 3-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (9:14:00 PM): Eyes on OIC! His beard scares me.
EverGuard4 (9:17:34 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 3 2 4 1 1
EverGuard4 (9:17:38 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (9:17:59 PM): Rock turns and fires on the mage
Thematrian1 (9:18:45 PM): the mage tries to dodge the gun:
Thematrian1 (9:18:49 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 2 1 1
Thematrian1 (9:19:24 PM): ...and does. Rock's shot goes wide.
EverGuard4 (9:19:48 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 5 6 1 5
EverGuard4 (9:19:50 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (9:19:58 PM): another dodge
Thematrian1 (9:20:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 5
Thematrian1 (9:20:25 PM): This one the mage easily avoids.
MilesMk1 (9:20:50 PM): He clearly doesn't realize what I do to mages that annoy me.
MilesMk1 (9:21:02 PM): Or, well, all mages I've met so far, really, that weren't on my side...
Thematrian1 (9:21:03 PM): Last action goes to the poor, chewed guy in the van
Dragcrell (9:21:12 PM): (flambay mage?)
Thematrian1 (9:21:42 PM): He draws his narcoject and shoots the fox, albeit clumsily
Thematrian1 (9:21:45 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 5 2 4 1 5
MilesMk1 (9:21:52 PM): (Yes, but I don't think we'll have the time, and I'd actually rather not kill cops...
Thematrian1 (9:22:22 PM): as gunplay goes that was pretty unimpressive. Trying to dodge, Trickster?
MilesMk1 (9:22:36 PM): (You do have all that unused pool)
Dragcrell (9:22:55 PM): (ya ya
Dragcrell (9:23:04 PM): Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 1 1 3 2 1 3 5
Umbrafer (9:23:10 PM): (Yow.)
Dragcrell (9:23:15 PM): ((lick of good that did)
Thematrian1 (9:23:23 PM): Trickster dodges easily.
Thematrian1 (9:23:32 PM): (Decided the fight, that may have)
Thematrian1 (9:23:44 PM): Ok, we're on initiative. Let's see it
Umbrafer (9:23:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 3 6 4
MilesMk1 (9:23:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 4
MilesMk1 (9:24:02 PM): Yes!
Dragcrell (9:24:04 PM): Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 3 5 4 3 5 6 4
MilesMk1 (9:24:07 PM): Finally! Over 10!
EverGuard4 (9:24:09 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (9:24:18 PM): Trickster: init, not Reaction. One die in your case
Dragcrell (9:24:20 PM): ack
Thematrian1 (9:24:27 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 5 4 2 6 5 5 2 5 1 1 4 4
Umbrafer (9:24:34 PM): 32. Rocking.
MilesMk1 (9:24:37 PM): 26
Dragcrell (9:24:37 PM): ((acutly 2 still in fox form
Thematrian1 (9:24:44 PM): (ah, indeed)
Dragcrell (9:24:49 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
Thematrian1 (9:25:39 PM): Alex goes first, it seems. Alex?
Umbrafer (9:26:51 PM): Hm. Acceleration test. Going to see if I can't tip the guy in the back off-balance (and hopefully not tip Trickster)
Umbrafer (9:27:09 PM): I'm not going to run anyone over by doing that, right?
Thematrian1 (9:27:11 PM): hm. Ok, roll the test
Dragcrell (9:27:24 PM): (4 legs beats out 2)
Thematrian1 (9:27:30 PM): no. Indeed, you'll be rocketing through the hole in the barricade
MilesMk1 (9:27:45 PM): (Which is mined.)
Umbrafer (9:27:51 PM): Hm. Oh dear. Any chance I can circle around in the space on this side of the barricade?
Umbrafer (9:28:15 PM): Maintain my ability to push through, but not go that way right now?
Thematrian1 (9:28:51 PM): Hm. Yes, but it'll halve your accel ( ::pulls stuff from...ear:: )
Umbrafer (9:29:06 PM): I deploy the MMG and go for a sensor lock on the guy on the far side. #Tell them to surrender.#
Umbrafer (9:29:26 PM): (That is to say, the guy neither Rock nor Blake are looking at. What is he doing, at that?
Umbrafer (9:29:28 PM): *)
Thematrian1 (9:29:51 PM): Taking Aim at the tires with a weapon that is not a narcoject. He's got one, it's just still at his belt.
Umbrafer (9:30:00 PM): Oh dear.
Umbrafer (9:30:06 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (9:30:10 PM): well, let's see the sensor lock
Umbrafer (9:30:16 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 5 5 2 2
Thematrian1 (9:30:29 PM): no lock this action, sorry
Umbrafer (9:30:40 PM): Er? He's got dampening of some variety?
Umbrafer (9:30:49 PM): (Keeping in mind the -2 for LOS)
Thematrian1 (9:30:50 PM): (Right, los = -3)
Dragcrell (9:30:53 PM): ((CRAP!! out of pop ; ;))
Thematrian1 (9:30:58 PM): Sorry, you have lock
Umbrafer (9:31:04 PM): (-3 on the actual gunnery test, but -2 for the lock. It's weird.)
Umbrafer (9:31:10 PM): Good stuff.
Thematrian1 (9:31:20 PM): (Goddammit. When we do SR3R Rigging, we're just starting over, right?)
Umbrafer (9:31:26 PM): (Hehehe)
Thematrian1 (9:31:29 PM): ok, that's the lock
Thematrian1 (9:31:31 PM): Blake is next
EverGuard4 (9:31:33 PM): (Yes...)
Thematrian1 (9:31:36 PM): by a considerable margin may I add
Umbrafer (9:31:41 PM): Incidentally, if I can I'm going to have the MMG follow the lock so he knows he's not being ignored.
Thematrian1 (9:31:47 PM): You can.
MilesMk1 (9:31:58 PM): If I want to get up off the ground, I can't fight - correct?
Thematrian1 (9:32:22 PM): Yeah. It takes a Simple to get up, and you need a Complex to brawl people
MilesMk1 (9:32:49 PM): And he gets a -2 for fighting me while I'm on the ground... but it's dark, and he;s wounded, and I have better vision mods...
Umbrafer (9:33:04 PM): (Hopefully)
MilesMk1 (9:33:05 PM): BTW, can I assume that a wound described as a broken joint is probably not L?
Thematrian1 (9:33:12 PM): Nope
Thematrian1 (9:33:14 PM): er
Thematrian1 (9:33:16 PM): yes, you can
Thematrian1 (9:33:18 PM): no, it isn't
MilesMk1 (9:33:55 PM): Ok, I'll try to finish him off and say "surrender or die" or as much of that as I can get out.
MilesMk1 (9:34:10 PM): Unarmed...
Thematrian1 (9:34:12 PM): ok, let's see it
MilesMk1 (9:34:14 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 6 5 4 6 3 3 3 2 1
MilesMk1 (9:34:17 PM): HAH!
MilesMk1 (9:34:26 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 5
Umbrafer (9:34:31 PM): *Thinking: must get loudspeakers. Must get loudspeakers. Must get loudspeakers.*
Thematrian1 (9:34:33 PM): yeah, this isn't going to be fun for him
Thematrian1 (9:34:37 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 5 3 2 2 2 4 5
MilesMk1 (9:34:40 PM): Die, beared bastard!
Dragcrell (9:34:49 PM): ((crunch bash crunch))
MilesMk1 (9:35:02 PM): (Dunno, he did pretty well again.)
Thematrian1 (9:35:30 PM): Between wounds and visibility, that's zero successes. Blake, it looks like you have 5 there?
MilesMk1 (9:35:34 PM): Yeah.
MilesMk1 (9:35:45 PM): Assuming more light than complete darkness.
MilesMk1 (9:36:43 PM): #If we live through this, no jokes about Dwarves and human knees...#
Thematrian1 (9:37:01 PM): Yep, there are headlights from the van (now) and from...
Thematrian1 (9:37:30 PM): a vehicle far away, approaching. You'd have to spend an action to know more than 'there are headlights way over there'
Thematrian1 (9:38:37 PM): long story short, OIC gets shock gloved to the face. Blake barks out 'surrender', but it seems unlikely that OIC can hear him.
Thematrian1 (9:39:13 PM): ok. Trickster, what's your total init?
MilesMk1 (9:39:36 PM): I'm guessing 14.
Dragcrell (9:39:46 PM): 8 so 16 total
Thematrian1 (9:39:51 PM): Thanks
Thematrian1 (9:39:55 PM): oh
MilesMk1 (9:39:56 PM): *is impressed*
Thematrian1 (9:40:16 PM): Trickster, your action is next
Dragcrell (9:40:20 PM): (eh well animal form = 8+2d6 :P)
MilesMk1 (9:40:29 PM): (Too bad you can't use reaction to fight in animal form...)
MilesMk1 (9:40:39 PM): (Silly self-contradictory rules...)
Thematrian1 (9:40:46 PM): (unlike certain avians we could name)
Dragcrell (9:40:48 PM): eh keep shreding the one guys legs
Thematrian1 (9:40:55 PM): all right, let's see it
Dragcrell (9:41:18 PM): Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 2 6 3 3 3 3 2
MilesMk1 (9:41:29 PM): I feel sorry for the guy. He seemed so taken in by the "nice doggy"... It's just not right. If you were a cat, it'd be ok, but this...
Dragcrell (9:41:35 PM): ((used 3 from teh pool this time >_> dame)
Thematrian1 (9:41:45 PM): While all this is going down, the guy on the wrong side of the van speaks softly, and clearly, as if in wonder: "He wasn't the rigger..."
Thematrian1 (9:42:12 PM): All right. This time he's allowed to fight back, and attempts to do so:
MilesMk1 (9:42:26 PM): Shoot the van! It's the bigger threat!
Thematrian1 (9:42:27 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 2 6 6 2 3 3 4
Umbrafer (9:42:29 PM): :D
Dragcrell (9:42:43 PM): ((oooo thats not good))
Umbrafer (9:42:50 PM): That not so much
Thematrian1 (9:42:58 PM): (Short, treestump-y guy who moves really slowly, he's gotta be the rigger, right?)
MilesMk1 (9:43:09 PM): (Right.)
Umbrafer (9:43:12 PM): But the guy on the wrong side of the van's statement is going in Alex's personal quotefile.
Umbrafer (9:43:25 PM): (Dwarves do make stereotypical Riggers, after all)
Thematrian1 (9:43:30 PM): I'm sure that will console his next of kin.
MilesMk1 (9:43:42 PM): (Hey, you actually remember my character description. :) )
Dragcrell (9:43:48 PM): ((lol))
Umbrafer (9:43:50 PM): (That depends on whether or not he takes a shot at the tires)
Thematrian1 (9:44:27 PM): anyway, Trickster attempts to bite again, but this time the cop knows what he's dealing with. He grabs you by the scruff and hurls you into one of the drones
Dragcrell (9:44:46 PM): ((oooooo that well hurt for a few secs
Dragcrell (9:45:12 PM): "yippe"
Thematrian1 (9:45:22 PM): yeah. Resist 4M stun.
MilesMk1 (9:45:28 PM): (Make sure to whine and look pitiful. :))
MilesMk1 (9:45:35 PM): (Maybe he'll feel bad.)
Dragcrell (9:45:42 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 2
Umbrafer (9:46:11 PM): Yow.
Dragcrell (9:46:11 PM): (blech)
Thematrian1 (9:46:18 PM): ok, you stage it to an L.
Thematrian1 (9:46:22 PM): He wasn't all that strong
MilesMk1 (9:46:52 PM): Good, he'll make a better hostage.
Dragcrell (9:47:08 PM): (eh fun >_> hate the idea its a complex to shift tho >_<))
Umbrafer (9:47:35 PM): (You ought to take him by surprise doing so, at least I hope so)
Thematrian1 (9:48:07 PM): Ok. That was 16. The mage acts
Dragcrell (9:48:18 PM): (true or lest feak the liveing shit and piss out of him at lest))
Thematrian1 (9:49:23 PM): While walking backward slowly, he points at Blake. "Kill him."
Umbrafer (9:49:40 PM): Oh dear.
Thematrian1 (9:50:15 PM): There's no immediate result
Umbrafer (9:50:30 PM): Where is he in relation to the van?
MilesMk1 (9:50:39 PM): Any sign he tried to cast a spell on me?
Thematrian1 (9:50:49 PM): Right now he's behind it, about five feet away, and retreating slowly
Umbrafer (9:51:00 PM): YES!
Thematrian1 (9:51:04 PM): No. You've had plenty of experience shaking off spells at this point, and there was nothing
Umbrafer (9:51:07 PM): Carry on.
MilesMk1 (9:51:10 PM): I'll narcojet his ass...
Dragcrell (9:51:26 PM): (uh oh why do I have the feeling the mage just made a bad move >_>))
Thematrian1 (9:51:27 PM): I should say, not directly behind, since he had LOS on Blake, but certainly within 'turn-and-tire' distance
Thematrian1 (9:53:34 PM): ok, guy in the van gets a turn
Dragcrell (9:55:00 PM): ((oooo mean prick at that thorwing defenless animals around))
Thematrian1 (9:55:45 PM): He moves away from Trickster, insofar as he can, leans into the driver's compartment, and narcojects Alex
Thematrian1 (9:56:06 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 5 1 5 4
Umbrafer (9:56:11 PM): (Got three more passes. Three more passes…)
Thematrian1 (9:56:44 PM): The needle sinks into her throat. Only vanman and Trickster know about it
Thematrian1 (9:57:09 PM): The guy on the other side of the van opens his hand and drops his gun.
Umbrafer (9:57:16 PM): Smart man.
Thematrian1 (9:57:32 PM): That was pass one. Pass two: Alex?
Umbrafer (9:57:48 PM): Starting van, backing at mage.
Umbrafer (9:58:05 PM): If I can do it in a way that conceals the motion from GOWS, so much the better.
Umbrafer (9:58:19 PM): (Not concealing that I'm moving, but concealing that I may be about to run over one of his friends)
Thematrian1 (9:59:04 PM): Ok, make some rolls.
Thematrian1 (9:59:20 PM): Concealment is gonna be pretty futile, unless the guy goes down without making any noise
Umbrafer (9:59:27 PM): Well
Umbrafer (9:59:46 PM): My intention is to stop if I get onto him. Optimally, pin his legs under the tire but with his torso intact.
Umbrafer (10:00:01 PM): If that doesn't happen, well, it doesn't happen, but we can always try.
Umbrafer (10:00:17 PM): Umbrafer rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 3 6 1 5 1 3 6 3 1
Umbrafer (10:00:24 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 2
Thematrian1 (10:00:26 PM): Wow. Ok. roll some dice, but I don't know how that'll work
Umbrafer (10:00:34 PM): Karmaing that if necessary.
Thematrian1 (10:01:43 PM): If you choose to karma, you'll be rerolling 8 dice
Umbrafer (10:02:38 PM): Alea jacta est. Doing it.
Umbrafer (10:02:41 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 4 6 4 6 1 2
Umbrafer (10:02:48 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 6
Umbrafer (10:02:52 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (10:03:23 PM): Ok, here's how it happens:
Thematrian1 (10:04:22 PM): The van roars to life, and leaps backwards. One edge clips the mage, and the van screeches to a stop with the front left tire on top of his shin
MilesMk1 (10:04:36 PM): Ouch.
Thematrian1 (10:04:45 PM): Total distance traveled is barely twenty feet
Dragcrell (10:04:51 PM): ((lol))
Thematrian1 (10:04:54 PM): and most of that was the length of the van
Umbrafer (10:05:12 PM): Does this expose GOWS to LOS with Blake?
Thematrian1 (10:05:19 PM): Indeed it does.
MilesMk1 (10:05:28 PM): Remind me to shoot the guy who thought I was the Rigger in the leg. :)
Thematrian1 (10:05:32 PM): Rock, because I forgot you, it's your turn now.
MilesMk1 (10:05:45 PM): Cause that's where we've done most of the damage so far.
EverGuard4 (10:05:59 PM): um....
Umbrafer (10:06:10 PM): (Crotch, knee, shin… nail him in the foot or something)
Umbrafer (10:06:18 PM): (He cooperated, though, so try not to hurt him too badly.)
Umbrafer (10:06:29 PM): (MMG's still pointing at him, by the by.)
MilesMk1 (10:07:08 PM): (Maybe I won't shoot him, then.)
EverGuard4 (10:07:20 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 4 2 6 4 6 6 5 2 2
EverGuard4 (10:07:25 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 6
Thematrian1 (10:10:20 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 6 5 3 4 6 1 2 1 4 1 5 6
Thematrian1 (10:11:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 4
EverGuard4 (10:12:18 PM): *approaches mage, looks down and levels Pred @ him* "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
Thematrian1 (10:12:24 PM): The guy in the van was deeply surprised by all that acceleration
Dragcrell (10:12:39 PM): ((ROFL))
Thematrian1 (10:12:42 PM): He's half-sitting, half-lying in the driver's compartment
EverGuard4 (10:13:06 PM): (Rock's best Dirty Harry imitation-- do I need to roll Etiquette for that? ;-))
Thematrian1 (10:13:10 PM): Dragcrell, roll reaction for that too
Thematrian1 (10:13:16 PM): (Not in this case ;-))
Dragcrell (10:13:30 PM): (ALL right ^_^ Chompy compy)
Thematrian1 (10:13:34 PM): Blake, you are up
Dragcrell (10:13:47 PM): Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 6 4 3 2 4 6 2
Thematrian1 (10:14:05 PM): Trickster keeps his feet with no trouble
Dragcrell (10:14:07 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 5
Dragcrell (10:14:19 PM): (muahahahahahahahaha)
MilesMk1 (10:14:23 PM): So, the guy on the Wrong Side dropped his non-narcojet gun?
Thematrian1 (10:14:29 PM): yep
MilesMk1 (10:14:40 PM): Ok... I get up, walk over, and pick it up.
Thematrian1 (10:14:45 PM): he's got his hands by his sides, held palms out
MilesMk1 (10:15:14 PM): Or run/jog over, really.
Thematrian1 (10:15:48 PM): all right
MilesMk1 (10:15:52 PM): What is it? Heavy pistol? Smartgun?
Thematrian1 (10:16:11 PM): Both of those. It seems to be a custom job
Umbrafer (10:16:16 PM): Ooh
MilesMk1 (10:16:26 PM): Does my SL-2 interface with it, or is it locked out?
Thematrian1 (10:16:33 PM): as you're examining it, a car slightly bigger than you are hits you from behind.
MilesMk1 (10:16:42 PM): ...
Umbrafer (10:16:47 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (10:16:55 PM): the car floats about three feet off the ground
MilesMk1 (10:17:04 PM): ...
Umbrafer (10:17:13 PM): I think we found what the mage was ordering.
Dragcrell (10:17:21 PM): ((O_o more play mates?))
MilesMk1 (10:17:41 PM): Yay... What happens to me?
Thematrian1 (10:17:44 PM): the windows are totally reflective, and for some reason you have to roll unarmed in order to fight it off
MilesMk1 (10:18:00 PM): Ok...
MilesMk1 (10:18:12 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 5 4 6 2 5 5 6 3 2
Thematrian1 (10:18:32 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 3 1 3 1 3 2 4
MilesMk1 (10:18:33 PM): That's 7 successes if we're really doing Unarmed...
Thematrian1 (10:18:59 PM): you sure are. The car is surprisingly light for its size; you easily evade it and pound it with the Glove of Love
MilesMk1 (10:19:10 PM): #The fu... Grrr...?#
Thematrian1 (10:19:45 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 2 5 5 5 4 1
Thematrian1 (10:20:49 PM): its whole being ripples as you shock it
Thematrian1 (10:21:19 PM): Next we have Trickster
Umbrafer (10:21:22 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Dragcrell (10:21:46 PM): I go for the SoB family jewells ^_^
Thematrian1 (10:22:14 PM): ow. Roll it
Dragcrell (10:22:18 PM): Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 2 3 4 5 2 1 5 3 6 3
Dragcrell (10:22:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (10:22:43 PM): With a -1 "opponent sort of prone" bonus, that's seven successes
Thematrian1 (10:22:46 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 4
Dragcrell (10:22:55 PM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (10:23:05 PM): er, six
Umbrafer (10:23:11 PM): (Character Has Superior Position is probably the appropriate mod. It's still -1)
Thematrian1 (10:23:14 PM): no, seven
Dragcrell (10:23:16 PM): *snarl* *growl*
Thematrian1 (10:23:33 PM): anyway, the poor guy is facing 2S lethal:
Thematrian1 (10:23:36 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 2
Dragcrell (10:24:06 PM): ( to bad its a 2 -_- oh well well still hurt like hell)
Thematrian1 (10:24:12 PM): He manages to interpose his hips, and gets cut again, but not in a horrible way
Thematrian1 (10:24:50 PM): That's it for pass two. Pass three. Alex?
Umbrafer (10:25:55 PM): Is GFOWS doing anything?
Thematrian1 (10:26:15 PM): He leapt back a pace when that car appeared out of nowhere, but he hasn't gone for his narcoject or anyway
Thematrian1 (10:26:17 PM): anything
Umbrafer (10:26:38 PM): *Nods* My first Simple is an Observe in Detail on that vehicle coming up behind us.
Umbrafer (10:26:51 PM): Active and passive sweep.
Thematrian1 (10:26:56 PM): all right, roll em
Umbrafer (10:26:58 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 2 1 4 4 6 2 2
Umbrafer (10:27:02 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (10:27:06 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 5 3 4 2
Thematrian1 (10:28:47 PM): it's an Americar clone, with six people inside. Two other vehicles are following it. It is deccelerating
Thematrian1 (10:29:06 PM): Ask me questions and I might answer.
Thematrian1 (10:29:15 PM): Also, what's your other simple?
Umbrafer (10:29:26 PM): How far away? Any visible weapons or armor?
Thematrian1 (10:29:38 PM): most of a mile. No
Umbrafer (10:30:02 PM): People within look like security forces?
Umbrafer (10:30:10 PM): Also, how fast is it going?
Thematrian1 (10:31:00 PM): 50 miles per hour, people within are mostly child-sized. Beyond that you can't say
Umbrafer (10:31:07 PM): …
Umbrafer (10:31:10 PM): Interesting.
Umbrafer (10:31:22 PM): Next action: Observe in Detail on the mage.
Umbrafer (10:31:36 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 5 5 4 6 1 2 3
Umbrafer (10:31:41 PM): 1
Umbrafer (10:31:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (10:31:50 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 2 1 2 3
Thematrian1 (10:33:19 PM): His shin is broken. His shoulder doesn't look so hot either. Pulse is astronomical. He has one narcoject on his belt, though he hasn't tried to go for it
Thematrian1 (10:33:33 PM): ask and I may answer
Thematrian1 (10:33:35 PM): meanwhile: Blake?
MilesMk1 (10:34:03 PM): The "car" is still in combat with me?
Thematrian1 (10:34:14 PM): yes
MilesMk1 (10:34:42 PM): I bark out a "sit" at the scared (or acting scared) guard, and hurt the car/spirit/whatever the hell it is.
MilesMk1 (10:34:55 PM): Did it look like I hurt it before, BTW?
MilesMk1 (10:35:06 PM): As far as you can tell with a thing like that...
Thematrian1 (10:35:14 PM): yeah, you think so. That rippling didn't look like a healthy sort of thing to do
MilesMk1 (10:35:19 PM): All right...
Thematrian1 (10:35:22 PM): all right, Roll 'em
MilesMk1 (10:35:24 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 2 4 5 6 1 2
MilesMk1 (10:35:42 PM): Bah... Hopefully it has some healthy mods to worry about.
Thematrian1 (10:35:44 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 1 5 4 1 6 2 6
MilesMk1 (10:35:49 PM): ...
MilesMk1 (10:36:10 PM): Entirely too lucky, these guys. :)
Thematrian1 (10:37:25 PM): you win, though far less decisively than last time.
Thematrian1 (10:37:28 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 6 6 5 5 3 1 6
Thematrian1 (10:38:49 PM): it ripples again, though much more gently
Thematrian1 (10:39:25 PM): it has a try at running you over in midair
Thematrian1 (10:39:28 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 2 5 5 4 6 6 5
MilesMk1 (10:39:55 PM): Do I roll unarmed again?
Thematrian1 (10:39:59 PM): yeah
MilesMk1 (10:40:04 PM): Ow.
MilesMk1 (10:40:09 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 2 5 3 2 1
Thematrian1 (10:40:11 PM): yeah
MilesMk1 (10:40:16 PM): 2 successes vs....
Thematrian1 (10:40:27 PM): ties go to the attaacker. Resist 5M
MilesMk1 (10:40:39 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 2 1 1 5 5 3 4 3
MilesMk1 (10:40:49 PM): That's 7 successes.
Thematrian1 (10:40:51 PM): with armor, that looks fully staged
Thematrian1 (10:41:00 PM): it's pretty light, for a car
Thematrian1 (10:41:44 PM): ok, that's it for pass three. Pass four. Alex?
Thematrian1 (10:43:33 PM): Oh, and roll Intelligence, Alex
Umbrafer (10:43:35 PM): I'd love to take a burst at that spirit, but I'm worried that someone could take the MMG fire the wrong way… I guess I'm grabbing a sensor lock on the approaching Americar (but leaving the MMG on GFOWS for right now)
Umbrafer (10:43:39 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 2 1 2 1 5 5 6
Umbrafer (10:43:43 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (10:43:56 PM): you've locked the americar
Thematrian1 (10:44:02 PM): er
Umbrafer (10:44:09 PM): That was INT
Thematrian1 (10:44:28 PM): nevermind. Your head feels foggy and distant, all of a sudden
Umbrafer (10:44:40 PM): #I feel weird…#
Umbrafer (10:44:43 PM): Locking.
Umbrafer (10:44:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 3 6 2 5
Umbrafer (10:44:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (10:45:14 PM): lock is yours
Umbrafer (10:45:41 PM): *Pats the three points of Karma Pool* C'mon, don't fail me now…
Thematrian1 (10:46:13 PM): the round ends. Alex is resisting narcojectage
MilesMk1 (10:46:30 PM): (Please tell me you had some impact armor?)
Umbrafer (10:46:40 PM): Fortunately it should be difficult if not impossible to notice if I'm going unconscious…
Umbrafer (10:46:58 PM): (I don't think so. At most, armored clothing, but I don't remember if I got any)
MilesMk1 (10:47:15 PM): (If we live through this, I'm making you wear FFBA and a rapid transit suit. :) )
Thematrian1 (10:47:18 PM): Alex is facing 8D, no armor
Thematrian1 (10:47:26 PM): let's see some Body
MilesMk1 (10:47:29 PM): Eugh...
Umbrafer (10:47:59 PM): Three points, two rerolls. Luck be a lady tonight.
Umbrafer (10:48:06 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 4
Umbrafer (10:48:13 PM): Reroll one:
Umbrafer (10:48:18 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 2

Umbrafer (10:48:32 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 4 6
Umbrafer (10:48:39 PM): Sonofabitch.
Thematrian1 (10:48:45 PM): no staging. Alex is out like a light.
Umbrafer (10:48:56 PM): *Loses consciousness, hopefully in the middle of talking to Blake*
EverGuard4 (10:49:15 PM): =(
Dragcrell (10:49:29 PM): >_< dice no like us to night
Thematrian1 (10:49:40 PM): Roll Willpower, TN 6, to alert somebody via Transducer before you drop
Thematrian1 (10:49:50 PM): one word, slurred, but enough, yes?
Umbrafer (10:49:57 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 4 4 6 5
Umbrafer (10:50:02 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (10:50:08 PM): Done.
Thematrian1 (10:50:12 PM): all right
Thematrian1 (10:50:47 PM): While Alex reflects on that, everyone else gets new initiative
MilesMk1 (10:50:56 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 4 4
MilesMk1 (10:51:00 PM): 24
Dragcrell (10:51:06 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
Dragcrell (10:51:16 PM): ..........16 yet again

Thematrian1 (10:51:36 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 3 2 2 1 3 5 2 6 2 3 2 4 1 1
MilesMk1 (10:51:39 PM): (Well, if so, good timing on their part.)
Umbrafer (10:52:09 PM): #Drugged…#
Thematrian1 (10:52:22 PM): Blake acts first.
Umbrafer (10:52:31 PM): (I'd think that 2 and 2 would, in this case, be comparatively easy to put together into 4)
MilesMk1 (10:53:17 PM): (Well, I did see the narcojets...)
MilesMk1 (10:53:33 PM): Ok, I'm sick of this spirit... Time to make it go by-bye.
MilesMk1 (10:53:40 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 2 3 2 5 6 1 4
MilesMk1 (10:54:03 PM): That's 4...
Thematrian1 (10:54:14 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 1 1 2 1 3 3 3

MilesMk1 (10:54:39 PM): Hah...
MilesMk1 (10:54:42 PM): Ah, sweet karmic justice. :)
Dragcrell (10:54:48 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (10:55:12 PM): The spirit ripples again, but this time the ripples harmonize instead of dissipating. In the space of half a second, it tears itself apart.
Thematrian1 (10:56:00 PM): Trickster, you're up
Dragcrell (10:56:19 PM): shifting this round need more power
Dragcrell (10:56:34 PM): to the hits I do
Thematrian1 (10:56:41 PM): all right
Thematrian1 (10:56:49 PM): Van Man: "The frag?"
Dragcrell (10:57:04 PM): "woof"
EverGuard4 (10:57:07 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (10:57:09 PM): (Please shoot Trickster, please shoot Trickster…)
Thematrian1 (10:57:15 PM): Rock acts next
Dragcrell (10:57:56 PM): (any pistels with in eash reach?)
EverGuard4 (10:58:00 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 4 1 6 6 5 1 3
EverGuard4 (10:58:06 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 2 3 4
Umbrafer (10:58:15 PM): (Yes, the one the guy is holding)
Dragcrell (10:58:37 PM): (eh true you guys hid all the others >_<)
Thematrian1 (10:58:42 PM): The mage may not attempt to dodge
Thematrian1 (10:59:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 5 5 3
Umbrafer (10:59:18 PM): He apparently felt lucky.
Dragcrell (10:59:39 PM): na called haveing a 2+ton object on his ass
Thematrian1 (10:59:48 PM): Rock puts a gel round into the mage's belly at close range. The mage lies there, barely breathing. He's done.
EverGuard4 (11:02:03 PM): *tries to extract mage from under van*
EverGuard4 (11:02:08 PM): *searches for entrance to van*
Thematrian1 (11:02:21 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 11 6-sided dice: 1 3 2 3 6 2 2 2 3 1 5
Umbrafer (11:02:25 PM): (That isn't going to go well without either moving the van or severing his leg)
Umbrafer (11:02:29 PM): (Probably, that is)
Thematrian1 (11:02:32 PM): No success at either, immediately
Thematrian1 (11:02:43 PM): He's probably stuck under the van for the time being.
Thematrian1 (11:04:06 PM): Van Man's turn. He points his gun at Trickster and fires:
Dragcrell (11:04:16 PM): ooo man
Thematrian1 (11:04:16 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 1
Thematrian1 (11:04:31 PM): attempting to dodge, Trickster?
Dragcrell (11:04:36 PM): hell ya
Thematrian1 (11:04:41 PM): let's see it
Dragcrell (11:04:42 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 2 1 2
Dragcrell (11:04:49 PM): ; ;
Umbrafer (11:04:52 PM): *Cringe*
Umbrafer (11:04:54 PM): Consider karma!
Thematrian1 (11:05:03 PM): ::wince:: Want to karma that?
Dragcrell (11:05:07 PM): only have the one >_<
Thematrian1 (11:05:22 PM): so no?
MilesMk1 (11:05:25 PM): It's a bad time to go unconscious...
Umbrafer (11:05:32 PM): Very.
Umbrafer (11:05:37 PM): We can't all have a slumber party.
Umbrafer (11:05:43 PM): At least not unless he joins in.
Dragcrell (11:05:44 PM): mmmmmmmm reroll
Dragcrell (11:05:50 PM): *prays*
Dragcrell (11:05:58 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 5
Umbrafer (11:06:10 PM): Victoly!
Dragcrell (11:06:15 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (11:06:24 PM): better...but van man has a smartlink, and 3 successes.
Dragcrell (11:06:34 PM): >_< ooooo this well hurt
Umbrafer (11:06:37 PM): Sonofa. No wound mods?
Dragcrell (11:06:53 PM): hell I bit the sob twice
Thematrian1 (11:07:12 PM): Yeah, for a light each time. He's not happy about it, believe me
Umbrafer (11:07:26 PM): Still Narcoject?
Thematrian1 (11:07:31 PM): yep
MilesMk1 (11:07:40 PM): (And he's shooting when in melee... :))
MilesMk1 (11:07:53 PM): (Well, no, since you shifted.)
Thematrian1 (11:07:55 PM): (No, Trickster shifted)
Thematrian1 (11:08:01 PM): (Yeah)
Umbrafer (11:08:03 PM): The bad: no regen. The good: doesn't hit until the end of the turn.
Thematrian1 (11:08:19 PM): For his second Simple, he holds the gun to Alex's neck and says "Stop"
Dragcrell (11:08:27 PM): mmm shoure about the regen?
Umbrafer (11:08:34 PM): It's Stun.
Dragcrell (11:08:39 PM): frck
Thematrian1 (11:08:57 PM): And that was pass one. Pass two. Blake?
MilesMk1 (11:09:10 PM): Does the guy who dropped his gun look cowed?
Thematrian1 (11:09:15 PM): Yep
Thematrian1 (11:09:22 PM): The MMG is still pointing his way
Thematrian1 (11:09:27 PM): he's trying not to look at it
MilesMk1 (11:09:46 PM): Ok... Walk to the van (run if needed), yank the door open, and shoot the fucker inside.
MilesMk1 (11:10:11 PM): That's assuming my SL is working with this gun. (I did ask about that a little while ago)
Thematrian1 (11:10:39 PM): Your smartlink isn't working with this gun. Some kind of biometric guard
MilesMk1 (11:11:02 PM): So, the gun won't work at all, in other words...
Thematrian1 (11:11:07 PM): No
MilesMk1 (11:11:49 PM): In that case, this pass, toss the gun away, grab the cowed guy's narcojet and walk over to the van.
Thematrian1 (11:12:15 PM): Easily done. Cowed guy is holding still.
Umbrafer (11:12:23 PM): Don't toss! Keep!
MilesMk1 (11:12:28 PM): Narcojet useable, far as I can tell?
Thematrian1 (11:12:38 PM): entirely
MilesMk1 (11:12:42 PM): Um... Can I retcon that on the advice of my attorney?
Thematrian1 (11:12:57 PM): Sure. One gun in each hand?
Umbrafer (11:13:28 PM): (Last thing we want is Cowed guy coming Uncowed and grabbing the gun on the assumption that he's dead either way)
MilesMk1 (11:13:29 PM): (Yeah, but I switch the real gun to my off-hand first so I have the narcojet in my main hand.)
Umbrafer (11:13:37 PM): (At least the MMG should still follow him)
Thematrian1 (11:13:48 PM): And that's Blake's action. Trickster?
MilesMk1 (11:14:07 PM): (I meant I toss it into the darkness, not at his feet, but yeah... I can always drop a gun as a free action if I need my hand free.)
Thematrian1 (11:14:08 PM): Van man is threatening Alex with his narcoject. You're not sure what effect a second dose will have on her.
Dragcrell (11:14:27 PM): mmmm any chance I have a clear shot to the crotch?
Thematrian1 (11:14:37 PM): You're a human now
Umbrafer (11:14:45 PM): This is of little concern.
MilesMk1 (11:14:48 PM): (What is it with you and groins?)
Dragcrell (11:15:00 PM): for a kick?
Dragcrell (11:15:19 PM): (well he threw me the SOB!!))
Thematrian1 (11:15:20 PM): You may still assault his crotch if you wish, though if his held action is something like "Shoot Alex if the naked man attacks me", he'll get his action first
Dragcrell (11:15:48 PM): great can I opent the door?
Thematrian1 (11:16:12 PM): You're in the back. You can open the van doors, but opening any of the others will involve moving past him
Thematrian1 (11:16:24 PM): which, depending on his held action, might get Alex shot. It's your call
Dragcrell (11:16:44 PM): the sidedoor then if there is one
Thematrian1 (11:17:01 PM): No, this is a full van. There are doors in the very back.
Umbrafer (11:17:04 PM): (Nope. 2d+1x)
Dragcrell (11:18:48 PM): ok make that the back doors then lol
Thematrian1 (11:19:00 PM): You open the back doors. Van man does not shoot Alex
Dragcrell (11:19:43 PM): can I shout a worring to blake?
Thematrian1 (11:19:55 PM): yes
Dragcrell (11:20:23 PM): "carefull Blake he as something to Alex's neck"
Thematrian1 (11:20:41 PM): Blake, you hear that warning. Rock, so do you. Rock, it's your turn.
Thematrian1 (11:20:49 PM): You're by one of the van doors. You can open it if you wish.
EverGuard4 (11:22:09 PM): *opens door and enters vehicle*
MilesMk1 (11:22:38 PM): (Sort of hard to do without climbing over Alex, I think.)
Thematrian1 (11:23:05 PM): (Nope, just the reverse. She's on the passenger side, so you're the one who'd need to crawl over her)
EverGuard4 (11:23:13 PM): (I suppose that depends on which door we're discussing)
Thematrian1 (11:24:25 PM): He's not facing Rock; the opening door...hm
Thematrian1 (11:24:30 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 4 1 2
MilesMk1 (11:24:35 PM): (Oh, right. Got things mixed up.)
Thematrian1 (11:25:51 PM): fuck it
Thematrian1 (11:25:52 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 2-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (11:27:05 PM): he fires on Alex, then whirls to face Rock, looking horrified. Rock, you may shoot him.
Thematrian1 (11:27:09 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 4 3 4
Dragcrell (11:28:15 PM): (well lest I didn't do it :3)
EverGuard4 (11:29:07 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 4 2 1 2 2 6 6
EverGuard4 (11:29:33 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 3
Thematrian1 (11:30:40 PM): He makes no attempt to dodge. He does attempt to soak:
Thematrian1 (11:30:43 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 6 2 6 4 6 6 3
Thematrian1 (11:30:48 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 1 5 6
Thematrian1 (11:31:45 PM): And astonishingly, does so. He takes a gel round to the chest, drops his narcoject, and slumps backwards over Alex, but he's still conscious
Thematrian1 (11:32:02 PM): Here ends pass two. Pass three, the Blake exclusive:
MilesMk1 (11:33:04 PM): I open the door, saying "Trickster, watch the one outside" or as much of that as I can and check in on Alex.
Thematrian1 (11:33:51 PM): Alex looks like she usually looks: jacked in, slumped in her seat, barely moving or breathing
Dragcrell (11:34:11 PM): (riiigght hope your counting on my insanity luck to kick in now right?)
Umbrafer (11:34:13 PM): The two darts in the side of my neck are new.
Thematrian1 (11:34:37 PM): There are two new additions to her off side, in the form of...yeah, those
Thematrian1 (11:34:55 PM): Van man has his back to you; he's dropping the narcojet as you open the door
MilesMk1 (11:35:16 PM): Well, I can't do much to him right now that'd really be appropriate...
Thematrian1 (11:35:30 PM): You have a simple
MilesMk1 (11:35:56 PM): If it looks like he surrendered, I jump into the van and yank the darts out of her neck, then start looking for the med kit.
Thematrian1 (11:36:23 PM): He's holding no weapons, and looks horrified
MilesMk1 (11:37:44 PM): If we're out of initative at this point, I say, in a very flat tone (while still looking for the medkit) "The last guy who *tried* to do what you just *did*... I burned his face off with thermite."
Dragcrell (11:37:50 PM): (well lest see had the nice pet turn on him bit him in the leg and nearly in the crouch then turn in to a guy................naaaaaa no resion to be horrified))
Thematrian1 (11:38:15 PM): Trickster goes over to check on CowedMan. He's stepping a few steps to the left, few to the right, few to the left...just watching the turrent follow him
Umbrafer (11:38:24 PM): :)
Thematrian1 (11:38:25 PM): Initiative ends unless someone wants to keep it
Umbrafer (11:38:34 PM): Me! Mememe! ;)
MilesMk1 (11:38:56 PM): I'm focused at applying medical aid at this point.
Dragcrell (11:39:01 PM): (mmm take it Van guy missed?)
Thematrian1 (11:39:07 PM): very well. What's everyone doing with van man
Thematrian1 (11:39:10 PM): (Nope, he hit)
MilesMk1 (11:39:12 PM): And determining life signs, and so on...
Umbrafer (11:39:21 PM): (Not so much. On that topic, should I see if I take S instead of D?)
Dragcrell (11:39:49 PM): (ya and there is the maner of my own hit I think.....)
Thematrian1 (11:40:14 PM): (That's a good point. Roll for that: 8D)
MilesMk1 (11:40:24 PM): Fuck it... The Van Man actually gets a tap with the Love Glove.
Umbrafer (11:40:29 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 2
Thematrian1 (11:40:30 PM): (Yes, that too. Trickster, resist 6D)
Dragcrell (11:40:32 PM): ((who first?))
Umbrafer (11:40:56 PM): Sonofa. *Slight trickle of saliva down corner of mouth, otherwise status outwardly similar to normal*
Dragcrell (11:41:22 PM): *prays*
Dragcrell (11:41:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 5 4 5 5 2 2
Thematrian1 (11:41:33 PM): Ok. Blake, you find the first aid kit. What's its rating and what's your skill?
MilesMk1 (11:41:42 PM): Rating 4, skill 3.
Dragcrell (11:41:44 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (11:41:55 PM): Nope, that would be deadly stun. The naked man approaching the cowed cop falls over unconscious
Dragcrell (11:42:15 PM): ..................well that was not good -_-
MilesMk1 (11:42:25 PM): "... Rock, please keep an eye on the cop outside."
Thematrian1 (11:42:28 PM): Blake: van man goes out like a light when you Love him.
Thematrian1 (11:43:19 PM): Rock is presently in the driver's seat. Alex is in the passenger's, VM is slumped at her feet, Blake leaning over Alex
Thematrian1 (11:43:24 PM): Trickster napping outside
Umbrafer (11:43:38 PM): Question:
Umbrafer (11:43:46 PM): Does Trickster revert to a fox when he drops?
Thematrian1 (11:43:54 PM): haha
Thematrian1 (11:44:18 PM): In the absence of a specific ruling to the contrary, I say he does.
Thematrian1 (11:44:25 PM): Normal sleep is controllable, drugged sleep is not.
Thematrian1 (11:45:00 PM): So that's the situation. Blake, roll your first aid on Alex
Umbrafer (11:45:05 PM): I am, at the moment, unaware of one. What is Cowed Man's reaction to naked man collapsing into a small, unconscious fox?
MilesMk1 (11:45:26 PM): Complementary from Med-Kit first...
MilesMk1 (11:45:30 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 4 3 6
Thematrian1 (11:45:32 PM): your first guess is that she's in deadly danger. Two narcojects close together can easily kill a slight woman
Dragcrell (11:45:39 PM): (nope nothing in companion about it so i woudl say its a GM call))
MilesMk1 (11:46:25 PM): Then first aid...
MilesMk1 (11:46:30 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 3
MilesMk1 (11:46:34 PM): Whew...
MilesMk1 (11:46:37 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
MilesMk1 (11:46:52 PM): Umm... Hopefully that does something useful, if not, Karma.
Thematrian1 (11:47:28 PM): Let's see. Base TN is 10 for deadly damage, but what are the mods?
MilesMk1 (11:48:42 PM): +2 for bad conditions, I think.
MilesMk1 (11:48:54 PM): BTW, did I get any extra dice for that complementary roll for the medkit?
Umbrafer (11:48:57 PM): I'm just shy of the -1 for Body 4, sadly. Are the conditions really Bad?
Thematrian1 (11:48:59 PM): that's only +1
Umbrafer (11:49:13 PM): (Complementary rolls give you extra successes providing you've got one on the base, not extra dice)
MilesMk1 (11:49:23 PM): (Damn.)
Thematrian1 (11:49:25 PM): (Seriously?)
Thematrian1 (11:49:33 PM): (That makes medkits utterly useless)
Umbrafer (11:49:48 PM): (Not really, since you can use them as the base)
Thematrian1 (11:49:51 PM): (Except for evading that pesky +4 penalty)
Umbrafer (11:50:05 PM): (If you've got less skill than they do, your Biotech is the complementary)
Thematrian1 (11:50:06 PM): (Ok, useless to people with skill)
Thematrian1 (11:50:07 PM): (But never mind)
Dragcrell (11:50:13 PM): (well unless you dont have a bio skill ;3 )
Umbrafer (11:50:16 PM): (Not really, they're still extra successes)
MilesMk1 (11:50:41 PM): (So... Does that mean I should roll the sixes for the medkit, then?)
Thematrian1 (11:50:48 PM): (But what do they do for you? Everything is one-or-nthing)
MilesMk1 (11:50:52 PM): (Since it's rating is higher than my skill?)
Thematrian1 (11:51:04 PM): (Ah, I see, they speed things up)
Umbrafer (11:51:07 PM): (You divide the base time by the successes)
Umbrafer (11:51:08 PM): (Yeah)
Umbrafer (11:51:31 PM): (Especially useful if combat is actively raging or you're trying hard to meet a deadline for the Treat spell)
Thematrian1 (11:51:32 PM): Yes. Reroll 6s on the medkit
MilesMk1 (11:51:39 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
MilesMk1 (11:51:42 PM): SHIT!
Thematrian1 (11:51:44 PM): shit
Dragcrell (11:52:08 PM): (that bad I take it)
Thematrian1 (11:52:10 PM): You needed 10s. You did your best, but her condition is still deteriorating. Her heart has stopped.
MilesMk1 (11:52:15 PM): Wait...
MilesMk1 (11:52:19 PM): Karma.
Thematrian1 (11:52:20 PM): wait?
Thematrian1 (11:52:23 PM): ah
MilesMk1 (11:52:28 PM): I still have 4 points.
Thematrian1 (11:52:29 PM): reroll everything
MilesMk1 (11:52:53 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 2 5 4
MilesMk1 (11:52:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 1 3
Thematrian1 (11:53:05 PM): again?
MilesMk1 (11:53:06 PM): Shit... Again.
MilesMk1 (11:53:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 2 5 1
MilesMk1 (11:53:20 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (11:53:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (11:53:29 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 6
MilesMk1 (11:53:35 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (11:54:07 PM): You restart her heart. Her breathing is still thready and weak, but barring other shocks or complications, she's going to live.
Umbrafer (11:54:38 PM): Rolling Willpower vs. TN 8 to recover a box of Stun.
Umbrafer (11:54:44 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 1 1 5 5
MilesMk1 (11:54:46 PM): *turning to cowed guy* "If you have some sort of antidote for this shit, you better turn it over now if you want you and your friends to have ANY chance of walking away from this."
Umbrafer (11:54:51 PM): Nothing.
Thematrian1 (11:55:17 PM): He shakes his head. "The followup team will have it."
EverGuard4 (11:56:05 PM): "Get the damn critter."
MilesMk1 (11:56:19 PM): "Collects the fox and puts him in the back."
EverGuard4 (11:56:22 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 2 4 5 3 6 3 6 3
Dragcrell (11:56:56 PM): (well lest I easy to handle >_>)
MilesMk1 (11:57:27 PM): *walks over to cowed guy and cuffs his hands behind his back*
Thematrian1 (11:57:35 PM): cowed guy permits this
MilesMk1 (11:57:54 PM): *retrieves his real gun* "Get in the back and shut up."
Thematrian1 (11:58:08 PM): He nods nervously, and does as you command.
Dragcrell (11:58:28 PM): sucks regen is usless vs stun ; ;
MilesMk1 (11:58:40 PM): *starts to look for a way to drive the van without unplugging Alex and killing her with dumpshock*
EverGuard4 (11:58:41 PM): After foxie has been collected, I'll head outta Chicago...
Thematrian1 (11:58:46 PM): Trickster: roll Willpower or Body vs. TN 5 to recover some Stun
Thematrian1 (11:58:56 PM): The controls are not responding.
Thematrian1 (11:59:04 PM): You turn them, and push them, and so forth, but nothing happens
MilesMk1 (11:59:25 PM): *to cowed guy* "Did you call for backup yet or notify anyone? Believe me, at this point, you don't want me to feel surprised."
Dragcrell (11:59:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 5
Dragcrell (11:59:42 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (11:59:53 PM): Can I use my electronics skill to get them unlocked without killing Alex?
Thematrian1 (11:59:56 PM): "I didn't. The sergeant had the transducer, it was his job."
Thematrian1 (12:00:03 AM): More quietly: "He probably did."
Thematrian1 (12:00:24 AM): Um. That's an interesting question.
MilesMk1 (12:01:04 AM): Or use the remote control deck she gave me to get in there and unlock them?
Thematrian1 (12:01:52 AM): Damn. Every five minutes I fall into another rules pothole. I bet other SR GMs don't have this happen in their firefights.
Dragcrell (12:02:23 AM): lol ya but other GM's dont have the ppl we do ;3
MilesMk1 (12:02:25 AM): Well... You could have taken the easy way out and ruled Narcojet doesn't cause deadly physical damage on the second dose. ;)
MilesMk1 (12:03:05 AM): Or see if Alex built some sort of manual safe-cutoff into the thing?
Thematrian1 (12:03:19 AM): Such things don't exist by default.
Thematrian1 (12:03:47 AM): In meat time, Blake thinks the problem over
Thematrian1 (12:03:57 AM): You're pretty sure there's no fast way to manually detach the cable
Thematrian1 (12:04:29 AM): Stealing the van out from under her with the remote control deck would probably work, you think
Thematrian1 (12:04:41 AM): you'd have to drive the van in captain's chair mode, though
EverGuard4 (12:04:42 AM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 1 3 2 5 5 3 3 5
MilesMk1 (12:04:51 AM): Going to try that, then. It's our only way out...
Umbrafer (12:04:58 AM): (Once he's stolen it he could presumably return it to manual)
Thematrian1 (12:05:08 AM): (Ah, that's true)
Thematrian1 (12:05:12 AM): (Less of a species of hell, then)
MilesMk1 (12:05:23 AM): "Rock, if I can get this van out of here, can you do anything to make us difficult to find?"
MilesMk1 (12:06:07 AM): Ok, I do the remote deck trick, then.
Thematrian1 (12:06:58 AM): right. This involves rolling Electronics(Electronic Warfare) many times, from a rule perspective
EverGuard4 (12:07:01 AM): *Spanish Spanish Spanish*
MilesMk1 (12:07:28 AM): "Please translate..."
MilesMk1 (12:07:50 AM): *to the cop* "Did you mine or do anything to the intersection?"
Thematrian1 (12:08:09 AM): "No"
Dragcrell (12:08:11 AM): (mmm your shoure as Alex is all ready uncontcess and I do belive thats is one of the win points in that type of war fare
EverGuard4 (12:08:24 AM): *stares down an individual no one else can see*
Thematrian1 (12:09:10 AM): Blake: you've never done this before; it will take a few attempts before you know how long this will take?
Thematrian1 (12:09:12 AM): er
Thematrian1 (12:09:14 AM): take
MilesMk1 (12:09:24 AM): Ok...
Thematrian1 (12:09:37 AM): just roll Electornics a few times
MilesMk1 (12:09:52 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 5 5 4 5

MilesMk1 (12:10:14 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
EverGuard4 (12:10:15 AM): "What do you want?"
MilesMk1 (12:10:20 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
MilesMk1 (12:10:24 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 2 6 5 1
MilesMk1 (12:10:29 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (12:10:32 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (12:10:35 AM): three seconds pass. Six. Nine. Twelve.
MilesMk1 (12:10:51 AM): "If we get the car out of here, can you do anything to hide it?"
EverGuard4 (12:11:14 AM): *gestures to wait to Blake*
Thematrian1 (12:11:53 AM): You're degrading the connection between van and Alex. Roll Electronics background, or just Electronics
MilesMk1 (12:12:04 AM): Electronics...
Dragcrell (12:12:11 AM): mmmm GM call here Rigger 3 page 42
MilesMk1 (12:12:19 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 4 2 4 6
MilesMk1 (12:12:24 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Dragcrell (12:13:29 AM): (tenickly the Vans a drone and Alex was in direct control right?)
Thematrian1 (12:13:46 AM): ok. You're almost sure: completing the connection-break would knock Alex out of the network, with all consequences pertaining thereto.
Thematrian1 (12:13:49 AM): Including dump shock
MilesMk1 (12:14:19 AM): So I can't go on with this.
Thematrian1 (12:14:45 AM): Withut risking alex's life
MilesMk1 (12:15:04 AM): Can I at least make the van move in captain's chair mode without risking killing her?
EverGuard4 (12:15:06 AM): (Can we sit here without risking the life of each party member?)
Umbrafer (12:15:25 AM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 4 1 6 1
Thematrian1 (12:15:27 AM): No. Gaining that level of control involves evicting her and dump-shocking her
Umbrafer (12:15:29 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
Thematrian1 (12:16:17 AM): (That was Alex's attempt to gain consciousness by sheer willpwer. We'll see if she succeeded.
MilesMk1 (12:16:20 AM): (Umm... Dumpshock is how much, again?)
MilesMk1 (12:16:52 AM): (If it doesn't kill her outright, I can burn a point of Karma to keep her alive...)
Umbrafer (12:17:32 AM): 6S Stun, IIRC.
Thematrian1 (12:17:37 AM): (It's M, I think. M will kill her from overdamage unless she stages. If it's S...well, that much except worse)
Thematrian1 (12:17:41 AM): (Ah, there you have it then)
Thematrian1 (12:18:09 AM): (And I think Alex has a flaw that makes dumpshock hit her harder)
Umbrafer (12:18:10 AM): Wait, no
Umbrafer (12:18:12 AM): Let me see
Umbrafer (12:18:18 AM): (Reduces my resistance dice, yeah)
Umbrafer (12:18:31 AM): 6S is for the vehicle being Destroyed. Let me see if it's any better for being jacked out.
MilesMk1 (12:18:47 AM): BTW, does Rock eventually say anything after gesturing me to wait?
Umbrafer (12:18:59 AM): 5S. Wonderful.
Thematrian1 (12:19:08 AM): About a minute has elapsed since the fighting stopped
Thematrian1 (12:19:20 AM): (Yeah. She'd need 4 fives on 4 dice to not die)
Thematrian1 (12:19:39 AM): (In character, you know that the shock would probably give her a stroke, and kill her in seconds)
Thematrian1 (12:20:18 AM): Cowed guy clears his throat.
Umbrafer (12:20:21 AM): Waitaminute
MilesMk1 (12:20:24 AM): "Yes?"
Umbrafer (12:20:53 AM): I failed my test, but Blake can make a Biotech (First Aid) test against TN 8 +- first aid modifiers to get me conscious again for a number of minutes equal to successes.
Thematrian1 (12:20:59 AM): "There's a trauma team with the backup, to deal with cases like this. We're only authorized to kill when...in special circumstances. They could help her."
Umbrafer (12:21:07 AM): (My TN was 12, for reference)
Thematrian1 (12:21:38 AM): Seriously? Ok: Blake, there are some things in the kit that could bring her around briefly. Mr. Cow's mention of a trauma team stirs your memory
Thematrian1 (12:21:57 AM): Sort of tricky to apply, but you have a fair idea how
Thematrian1 (12:22:00 AM): And they can't hurt
Umbrafer (12:22:01 AM): I take ridiculous modifiers, but no damage.
MilesMk1 (12:22:02 AM): So, what would the TN be for that?
Thematrian1 (12:22:09 AM): 8
MilesMk1 (12:22:12 AM): ...
Thematrian1 (12:22:14 AM): No FA mods here
Umbrafer (12:22:20 AM): (Go! Go! Go!)
Umbrafer (12:22:26 AM): (You can do it!)
MilesMk1 (12:22:57 AM): One question before I try... If I use up my Karma pool, I can no longer permanently burn a die of Karma for auto-success, right?
Umbrafer (12:23:17 AM): (You can only autosuccess if you've already gotten one)
MilesMk1 (12:23:26 AM): (Oh. Damn.)
MilesMk1 (12:23:34 AM): Ok, I'll try it...
MilesMk1 (12:23:37 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 4 3 5
MilesMk1 (12:23:42 AM): Karma.
MilesMk1 (12:23:56 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 6
MilesMk1 (12:24:01 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 1 3
MilesMk1 (12:24:05 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (12:24:06 AM): yes!
MilesMk1 (12:24:12 AM): God damn...
Thematrian1 (12:24:22 AM): Alex: you awaken. Your world is pain and darkness.
Umbrafer (12:24:30 AM): First action: recline seat as far as it'll go without hitting anyone. Second action: jack out.
Thematrian1 (12:24:44 AM): The seat reclines. You jack out.
MilesMk1 (12:24:59 AM): *breathes out a sigh of relief*
Umbrafer (12:25:09 AM): "Hey… what… what happened?"
MilesMk1 (12:25:26 AM): "Narcojet. Take it easy, we're getting out of here."
Umbrafer (12:25:28 AM): (Ironically enough, Alex probably looks a lot more noticably messed up than when she was jacked in)
MilesMk1 (12:26:01 AM): *plugs the car into his datajack and tries to get the hell out of here*
Thematrian1 (12:26:07 AM): (Indeed. Alex's face is terribly tense now; her rigger's slouch could have been mistaken for tranquility earlier. Not now)
Umbrafer (12:26:13 AM): "Autonav system… never use it, you might…"
MilesMk1 (12:26:22 AM): (actually have Car at 3)
Umbrafer (12:26:38 AM): (It adds dice to everything you do that isn't combat or otherwise horribly unsafe)
MilesMk1 (12:26:47 AM): (Excellent.)
Umbrafer (12:26:49 AM): (And "never use it" is actually a lie)
Thematrian1 (12:26:52 AM): All right. You jack in, and the van rumbles away. There's a bu-bump as you run over the mage's legs, again
Thematrian1 (12:27:11 AM): through the barricade?
Umbrafer (12:27:12 AM): Poor guy. Ah well, prosthetics are on company dime.
MilesMk1 (12:27:25 AM): Well, I don't think going back is an option with me driving...
Thematrian1 (12:27:30 AM): (When you're a mage, prosthetics are the devil. But yeah)
Umbrafer (12:27:42 AM): (Them's the breaks.)
Dragcrell (12:27:43 AM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (12:27:47 AM): Through the barricade it is. The highway before you is open.
MilesMk1 (12:27:50 AM): Unless there's an off-ramp that lest me hit surface streets and try to get into the city that way?
Thematrian1 (12:28:25 AM): You're by and large past that sort of thing. A good map would help.
MilesMk1 (12:28:46 AM): I don't suppose we have one?
MilesMk1 (12:28:58 AM): "Alex, do you have a map in the van?"
Thematrian1 (12:29:06 AM): Alex certainly did. I forget where...
Umbrafer (12:29:46 AM): *Fumbles chip out of pocsec, slides over to Blake*
Umbrafer (12:30:01 AM): "Detailed stuff… got off matrix… this'll do?"
MilesMk1 (12:30:35 AM): "Thank you."
EverGuard4 (12:30:37 AM): *pokes girl*
Umbrafer (12:31:05 AM): *Hurts* "'eah?"
MilesMk1 (12:32:11 AM): *puts the car on auto and checks the map*
MilesMk1 (12:32:32 AM): (I do have local area knowledge at 6, if it helps any)
Thematrian1 (12:32:54 AM): For the next few minutes, you have no choices to make. Then, the basic decision is: stay out of chicago, or get back in?
Umbrafer (12:33:14 AM): Have I noticed the Eagle Security guy in the back?
Thematrian1 (12:33:32 AM): heh. roll perception, base TN 0
Thematrian1 (12:33:43 AM): actually, you have the seat reclined. No roll
Thematrian1 (12:33:46 AM): you see him
Thematrian1 (12:33:51 AM): (argh, brb
Umbrafer (12:33:57 AM): *Looks back at him. "'Ey."
Umbrafer (12:34:10 AM): "What… if we hadn't stopped?"
Umbrafer (12:34:22 AM): "Your boss… standing in the hole… goddamned foolish…"
EverGuard4 (12:36:56 AM): *waves* I've got work later today, so I'm out
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (12:38:24 AM): Mr. Cow looks deeply unnerved.
Thematrian1 (12:38:45 AM): "I guess we'd have gotten out of the way. But it never came up, not once."
Umbrafer (12:39:34 AM): (Say, what ever happened to the Americars behind us?)
Thematrian1 (12:39:35 AM): (He looks unnerved by the fact that you're talking to him, more than by the prospect you raise)
Thematrian1 (12:39:43 AM): (They stopped, not that Alex knows that)
Thematrian1 (12:39:50 AM): Stopped easily a half-mile away.
MilesMk1 (12:40:14 AM): "Where else do you have the roadblocks?"
Thematrian1 (12:40:40 AM): "We're still setting them up. I only know about ours."
MilesMk1 (12:40:45 AM): "Did I mention that your one chance of walking away from this is making sure we don't get caught?"
MilesMk1 (12:41:47 AM): *examines the map some more, looking for the best way back into the city*
Thematrian1 (12:41:48 AM): "I don't know. I don't think there were others on this road."
Thematrian1 (12:41:53 AM): "Maybe there will be later."
Thematrian1 (12:42:05 AM): "You're going to make it out."
Thematrian1 (12:42:51 AM): Roll Area Knowledge, plus four complementary dice for the map
MilesMk1 (12:43:04 AM): "I don't want to make it out... I have people back in there and you assholes are locking down the city instead of telling anyone the place is being overrun by fucking bugs."
MilesMk1 (12:43:16 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 4 1 3 2
MilesMk1 (12:43:21 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 4 3 1
Thematrian1 (12:43:26 AM): "Oh"
Thematrian1 (12:43:57 AM): "Look, all they told us is there's some new strand of VITAS in Chicago. It's contagious, so no-one gets out until we know more. That's it."
Thematrian1 (12:44:41 AM): "If you want to go back in, I can help."
MilesMk1 (12:45:07 AM): "Really? How so?"
Umbrafer (12:45:52 AM): "If… it's VITA… VITAS… why didnya have suits?"
Thematrian1 (12:46:28 AM): His newfound confidence wavers. "Well, they're looking for people going out, right? If you're going in, and I can show them my military ID, no one will mind, right?"
Thematrian1 (12:46:33 AM): He ignores Alex's question.
MilesMk1 (12:47:01 AM): "That's if they haven't sent out our description out yet..."
MilesMk1 (12:47:44 AM): *quietly to Alex* "How do I run the camo systems on the outside? Gives this thing a different appearance, maybe an Eagle logo or something?"
MilesMk1 (12:47:51 AM): give
Thematrian1 (12:47:59 AM): He wilts. "I'll do what I can, to get you into Chicago."
MilesMk1 (12:48:18 AM): "You'd better be damn sure that's what you're planning to do..."
MilesMk1 (12:48:47 AM): "I haven't killed any of you - by choice - but if things come down to getting arrested..."
Umbrafer (12:49:10 AM): "Th'controls… in vspace… should be a lib'ry…"
Thematrian1 (12:49:22 AM): He nods.
MilesMk1 (12:49:56 AM): "Is it going to help if this crate has Eagle Security markings?"
MilesMk1 (12:50:16 AM): *goes about adjusting the exterior appropriately*
Thematrian1 (12:51:31 AM): In 15 minutes, Trickster will awaken
Thematrian1 (12:51:50 AM): "It might."
MilesMk1 (12:51:52 AM): Oh, and I'll also make sure ther is no visible blood on the back, where it hit the mage.
MilesMk1 (12:52:15 AM): "If you're going to show them your ID, you'll need to be in the driver's seat."
Umbrafer (12:52:17 AM): The blood would be on the tires.
MilesMk1 (12:52:37 AM): *looks at Alex* I think we'll have to move you into the back."
Umbrafer (12:52:43 AM): Specifically, the front tire. The van hip-checked him.
Umbrafer (12:53:03 AM): "Sure… juss' move me back even… even'lly."
MilesMk1 (12:53:30 AM): *moves Alex back carefully*
MilesMk1 (12:53:58 AM): BTW, does the uniform on the unconscious guy look like it'd fit me? The shirt, I mean, and whatever cap comes with it.
Thematrian1 (12:53:59 AM): ::lift, drag, settle::
Thematrian1 (12:54:12 AM): CowMan makes move
Thematrian1 (12:54:14 AM): room
Thematrian1 (12:54:17 AM): bah
MilesMk1 (12:54:24 AM): Makes room?
Thematrian1 (12:54:33 AM): The shirt, maybe; the shirt on the OIC would have been a much better fit.
Thematrian1 (12:54:36 AM): Gets out of your way
Thematrian1 (12:54:38 AM): yeah
MilesMk1 (12:54:48 AM): Heh... Unfortunately, the OIC is far away...
MilesMk1 (12:55:05 AM): *puts on the shirt, makes sure he knows what the name and rank on it are*
MilesMk1 (12:55:30 AM): *moves all incriminating stuff in the back*
MilesMk1 (12:55:40 AM): *sets out to find the best way into town*
MilesMk1 (12:56:03 AM): (Still driving via datajack, but letting the cop sit in the driver's seat.)
Thematrian1 (12:56:09 AM): Area Knowledge + 4 complementary from the map
Umbrafer (12:57:13 AM): (Let me know when I can give another shot at rolling to recover stun)
MilesMk1 (12:57:45 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 5 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2
MilesMk1 (12:57:50 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (12:57:56 AM): Hmm.
Thematrian1 (12:58:07 AM): All right. You've settled on a destination, and you more or less have a route. You take an offramp, traverse some surface streets, and get on to a different highway. The van is headed back into Chicago.
MilesMk1 (12:58:45 AM): *drive*
Thematrian1 (12:58:46 AM): Here we break; see you all next week?
MilesMk1 (12:58:51 AM): Sure.
Umbrafer (12:58:56 AM): \/\/007
MilesMk1 (12:59:01 AM): Trickster, you there?
Thematrian1 (12:59:05 AM): well, way to survive, guys
MilesMk1 (12:59:06 AM): :)
Dragcrell (12:59:09 AM): yep
MilesMk1 (12:59:17 AM): You should be conscious soon. :)
Thematrian1 (12:59:33 AM): At the beginning of next session, Trickster will be awake and Alex will not.
Thematrian1 (12:59:39 AM): The law of conservation of party members
Dragcrell (12:59:40 AM): yay! then I can piss on the one guy :3
Umbrafer (12:59:49 AM): *Laughs*
MilesMk1 (12:59:51 AM): Umm...
Umbrafer (1:00:07 AM): That might not endear us to GFOWS
MilesMk1 (1:00:12 AM): We probably don't need the thing to smell of urine as we try to get through a checkopoint... ;)
MilesMk1 (1:00:21 AM): And, yeah, we need his cooperation...
Umbrafer (1:00:37 AM): Though the thought of TOG waking up urine-soaked is somewhat amusing.
Dragcrell (1:00:42 AM): -_- dame it you know Tricks goign to be pissed about the narco shot
Thematrian1 (1:00:57 AM): Trickster already tried to bite him in the testicles; it's hard to imagine his being less happy with the cute little dog
MilesMk1 (1:01:09 AM): Man, for a while there I thought we were going to lose Alex for sure...
Umbrafer (1:01:24 AM): I had a HoG up my sleeve, but yeah.
Dragcrell (1:01:27 AM): ^_^ na just wait untill he wakes up with me growling at him
Umbrafer (1:01:29 AM): Things were close.
Thematrian1 (1:01:47 AM): (I had a sweet Hand planned for when you guys pulled the plug)
MilesMk1 (1:02:09 AM): (We were going to pull the plug?)
Thematrian1 (1:02:32 AM): (If you did. For a while there, I was sure you would.)
Dragcrell (1:02:47 AM): ya I just relised to had I shifted sooner *cough* would have ended up with me being hit sooner >_<
MilesMk1 (1:02:54 AM): (My next step would have probably been to hijack the cop car and make it tow the van. :))
Thematrian1 (1:03:09 AM): (Haha. That would have been classic.)
MilesMk1 (1:03:11 AM): (If I could make it do that somehow...)
Umbrafer (1:03:28 AM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 3 6 6 5
Umbrafer (1:03:32 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
Thematrian1 (1:03:34 AM): (Part of the fun)
Umbrafer (1:03:37 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
Umbrafer (1:03:42 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 5
Thematrian1 (1:03:47 AM): Stun recovery is half an hour away for Alex
Thematrian1 (1:04:00 AM): At that point she regains consciousness, though her world is still pain
MilesMk1 (1:04:15 AM): Ah, what a mess...
Umbrafer (1:04:25 AM): (I'm going to be pretty useless for a few months in-game unless we find a mage who can hit a few 10s on a Heal)
Dragcrell (1:04:34 AM): mmmm ya Trick well be less then happy about the unplaned nap and such as well....................
MilesMk1 (1:04:53 AM): (I'm sure if we spend 10 or 20 k on healing we'll find someone... Hopefully.)
Umbrafer (1:05:23 AM): (But at least I can mumble semi-coherently at you :D )
Thematrian1 (1:06:28 AM): Sounds like the next few sessions will be "gather up everyone who wants to go and bust out of the CZ"
MilesMk1 (1:07:25 AM): You mean, try this again, only against worse odds? ;)
Thematrian1 (1:07:34 AM): Tremendously worse
Thematrian1 (1:07:57 AM): on the other hand, you'll have had practice
MilesMk1 (1:08:02 AM): Hell... I think after this, bunkering up will be the thought of the day.
MilesMk1 (1:08:12 AM): Though I guess we'll see.
Umbrafer (1:08:13 AM): Practice and heavier weapons
MilesMk1 (1:08:24 AM): Yeah... God, I hate not having a gun.
MilesMk1 (1:08:43 AM): If only that damn OIC had gone down when he was supposed to...
Thematrian1 (1:08:50 AM): The officer in charge wasn't thrilled with the outcome either
Umbrafer (1:08:55 AM): I'd imagine.
MilesMk1 (1:09:09 AM): Or won't be, when he regains consciousness in the ICU.
Thematrian1 (1:09:19 AM): well, yeah
MilesMk1 (1:09:24 AM): I'm pretty sure I went way over deadly stun.
Thematrian1 (1:09:29 AM): when the trauma team brings him around, he is going to be pissed
Thematrian1 (1:09:30 AM): and how
Thematrian1 (1:09:35 AM): eight boxes of physical
Umbrafer (1:09:54 AM): Out of interest, how bad did the mage take it? Are those legs salvageable?
MilesMk1 (1:10:17 AM): He must have thought I was a rigger too... Sloppy on his part. :)
Thematrian1 (1:10:35 AM): Yeah, well, now he knows
Umbrafer (1:10:44 AM): If they thought you were the Rigger, I can only imagine what they must have thought I was.
Thematrian1 (1:10:51 AM): The mage will certainly live, and will probably keep his legs
Umbrafer (1:11:08 AM): The first part is good, the second is mildly disappointing. I'll do better next time.
Thematrian1 (1:11:18 AM): They...were not certain of Alex's role.
Thematrian1 (1:11:27 AM): In the absence of evidence they were left to speculate.
MilesMk1 (1:11:29 AM): Well, I don't think they figured you for a Street Sam or an Adept, or they wouldn't have put just one guy on you...
Dragcrell (1:11:34 AM): lol well ^_^ all but the mage and the two in the van know about me so
Umbrafer (1:11:47 AM): They didn't even do that most of the time
Thematrian1 (1:11:53 AM): They've been run over a bunch, but I gather that's less of a problem in the sixth world
MilesMk1 (1:11:58 AM): Hell, I don't think they realized we *had* a Street Sam, or they'd have been a lot more wary...
Umbrafer (1:12:00 AM): I was basically ignored for most of it.
Umbrafer (1:12:23 AM): We did look more like smugglers or something, I suppose.
Umbrafer (1:12:31 AM): And all the drones in the back with no personal weapons visible
MilesMk1 (1:12:35 AM): Probably.
Thematrian1 (1:12:50 AM): I wish you guys had had some way to bug their radio transmissions.
MilesMk1 (1:13:00 AM): That fun, eh?
Thematrian1 (1:13:19 AM): Well, it'd explain a lot, and amuse you.
Thematrian1 (1:13:21 AM): Maybe annoy Alex
MilesMk1 (1:13:25 AM): Ah.
MilesMk1 (1:13:45 AM): Well, maybe Shojo picked them up. ;)
Dragcrell (1:13:53 AM): lol "ya they had a bloody dame fox for a pet!" lol
Thematrian1 (1:14:01 AM): Shojo...has an adopted daughter to worry about, basically
Umbrafer (1:14:25 AM): I think that alone qualifies you for RBGM admissions. I'll be stewing about that for months (or until I hack their storage for the records)
Thematrian1 (1:14:58 AM): stewing? About Martha? Whatever for?
Umbrafer (1:15:16 AM): No, about what in their transmissions would "[m]aybe annoy Alex"
Thematrian1 (1:15:30 AM): Heh, ah
MilesMk1 (1:16:31 AM): Yeah, I'm curious too...
MilesMk1 (1:16:33 AM): M
Umbrafer (1:16:59 AM): ?
MilesMk1 (1:17:03 AM): Maybe CowMan can tell us what frequency to listen at... Does he even have a radio?
Umbrafer (1:17:12 AM): Hehehe
MilesMk1 (1:17:25 AM): Something to find out next week... Goodnight, guys.
Thematrian1 (1:17:33 AM): yeah. Sleep well
MilesMk1 (1:17:55 AM): *waves*
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (1:18:15 AM): *Waves* Sleep well, all. I've got the log.
Thematrian1 (1:18:22 AM): very nice
Dragcrell (1:19:07 AM): well have fun lol when pets go BAD! lol
Umbrafer (1:19:20 AM): Trickster gets his own TV show.
Thematrian1 (1:19:24 AM): that's Trickster all over.
Dragcrell (1:19:30 AM): hehehehe
Thematrian1 (1:19:36 AM): Just have Alex supply the footage
Dragcrell (1:19:40 AM): hell ya :3
Thematrian1 (1:19:42 AM): do some voiceovers
Thematrian1 (1:20:13 AM): bugger shadowrunning, trid is where the money's at
