Dragcrell (8:35:52 PM): bloody hell >_< I hope it was just becuse they wasnt heated up enufe if not this brans sucks ass >_< they just fall apart >_<
Umbrafer (8:36:04 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (8:36:15 PM): something bad happened to the tacos, I think
Dragcrell (8:36:18 PM): the wrap we use -_-
Thematrian1 (8:36:34 PM): anyway, last week we had Rock back at Sigrun's, Trickster at the end of one aisle
Thematrian1 (8:36:40 PM): Blake at the other end of the other aisle
Thematrian1 (8:36:49 PM): Alex crashed through the doors and spraying machine-gun fire
Thematrian1 (8:37:07 PM): and some guy throwing flashbangs around
Umbrafer (8:37:15 PM): And bleeding in empty air.
Thematrian1 (8:37:22 PM): yeah, that too
Thematrian1 (8:38:04 PM): we'd just completed a Turn, IIRC, so you guys roll some initiative
Dragcrell (8:38:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (8:38:34 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 2
MilesMk1 (8:38:46 PM): Bah. Humbug.
MilesMk1 (8:38:50 PM): 18
Dragcrell (8:39:06 PM): (lest you can get over 12 >_>)
Umbrafer (8:39:11 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 3 5 4
Umbrafer (8:39:21 PM): 25
Thematrian1 (8:40:53 PM): ok, Alex, you have the honor of the first move
Thematrian1 (8:40:57 PM): everyone look surprised
Umbrafer (8:41:47 PM): *Shock*
Umbrafer (8:41:51 PM): What's the situation again?
Umbrafer (8:41:55 PM): Rather
MilesMk1 (8:41:58 PM): (BTW, does the fact Jon "officially" made bioware available on SotSW means the same is the case in this game? Because if not, I'll stop making long-range plans for lots of muscle toner and enhanced articulation... :))
Umbrafer (8:42:00 PM): What are my targets?
Thematrian1 (8:42:19 PM): (The same is the technically case in this game)
Umbrafer (8:42:31 PM): (In Chicago it matters less.)
Thematrian1 (8:42:33 PM): Hm. You know that there are some guys behind a counter, you saw them dive for cover
Thematrian1 (8:42:43 PM): there are a bunch of mobbing, panicke hostages
MilesMk1 (8:42:44 PM): (Yes, but a dwarf can dream.)
Thematrian1 (8:42:57 PM): they want to run away from the giant bullet-spraying van, and from the psycho with the assault rifle
Thematrian1 (8:43:03 PM): these are not compatible goals, so they're milling
Umbrafer (8:43:21 PM): I feel somewhat sorry for them.
Thematrian1 (8:43:21 PM): they're between you and the leader guy
Umbrafer (8:43:33 PM): Especially since the apparent best choice (psycho over van) is not the actual best choice.
Thematrian1 (8:43:55 PM): and there's a mob of guys bearing down on the guy who is or isn't there
Thematrian1 (8:44:01 PM): but he's between you and them
Umbrafer (8:44:08 PM): Ah yes, that mob. Yeah, I'm… damn. No shot?
MilesMk1 (8:44:10 PM): (Give me a moment and a non-psycho with an assault rifle will try to simplify the situation.)
Thematrian1 (8:44:27 PM): well, you can shoot past him, there's lots of room
Thematrian1 (8:44:33 PM): what you can't do is suppress, without riddling him with holes
Thematrian1 (8:44:38 PM): and he's already a bit riddled
Umbrafer (8:44:54 PM): Fair enow. Fire and blast for our country, fire and blast for our country.
Umbrafer (8:45:21 PM): I'll do a 3-3-4 again, if possible
Thematrian1 (8:45:32 PM): just three random guys in the mob?
Umbrafer (8:46:21 PM): Yep. Picking the easiest targets with a mild preference for guys that other guys wi… no, wait
Umbrafer (8:46:27 PM): Just the three easiest targets
Thematrian1 (8:46:43 PM): go for it
Umbrafer (8:46:46 PM): If I wasn't wounded there'd be more science to it.
Umbrafer (8:47:19 PM): Umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 4 1 1 1 5 4 4 2
Umbrafer (8:47:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 1 6 5 2 4 6
Thematrian1 (8:47:27 PM): yeah, that +5 to TN is kinda rough
Umbrafer (8:47:30 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 6 6
Umbrafer (8:47:35 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 3
Umbrafer (8:47:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 1 5 4
Umbrafer (8:47:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
Umbrafer (8:48:01 PM): What are the situational mods involved, if any?
Thematrian1 (8:48:07 PM): um. with recoil, I see hits only on the second shot?
Thematrian1 (8:48:21 PM): hm. None I can think of; the targets are running, but it's right at you
Umbrafer (8:48:57 PM): 4-2+5 for 7 base, no hits first, hits second, just barely none third. Yep, three on the second and nothing on the others.
Thematrian1 (8:49:48 PM): ok. You spray a bunch of bullets over their heads, and manage to shoot one guy a couple of times. A few people at the back detach and start running for the docking bay
Thematrian1 (8:50:03 PM): the rest of the mob keeps heading forward; they've just got too much momentum
Thematrian1 (8:50:06 PM): Blake
Umbrafer (8:50:37 PM): What happened to the one guy?
Thematrian1 (8:50:52 PM): he's starting to fall; the guy behind him is starting to trip over him
Umbrafer (8:50:59 PM): (Damage 12D after burst, before staging) Good times.
EverGuard4 (8:52:04 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 6 3 5 4 6 1 1 3
MilesMk1 (8:52:04 PM): I will continue my lateral movement in order to get a shot at the leader's back, but trying to be reasonably aware of my surroundings in case one of these thugs has a death wish.
MilesMk1 (8:52:18 PM): I believe I was only 1 aisle over last session.
Thematrian1 (8:53:31 PM): That's right. You easily move into the right aisle on your action. There's the leader and two orks with pistols; both are facing the mob and have their backs to you.
MilesMk1 (8:53:35 PM): #Anything else coming my way, Alex?#
Thematrian1 (8:53:36 PM): s/both/all
Thematrian1 (8:53:38 PM): /g
Umbrafer (8:54:02 PM): Did I see anyone moving towards him?
Umbrafer (8:54:28 PM): Also, have I seen any sign of Ork Lady?
Thematrian1 (8:54:31 PM): no. There's an awful lot to see right now, though
Thematrian1 (8:54:39 PM): did you have a lock on her?
Umbrafer (8:54:59 PM): I don't believe so. Blame it on illness.
MilesMk1 (8:55:10 PM): Ok... Well, #1, I stop so that the aisle end gives me cover relative to them.
Thematrian1 (8:55:34 PM): easily done
MilesMk1 (8:55:34 PM): First simple action, I put 3 rounds into the leader's back.
Thematrian1 (8:55:43 PM): Alex: you don't see her offhand. Feel free to Observe in Detail to look for her
Thematrian1 (8:55:47 PM): roll it
MilesMk1 (8:55:51 PM): Assuming the hostage or one of the orks aren't in the way.
MilesMk1 (8:56:00 PM): 2 CP
MilesMk1 (8:56:03 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 4 1 5 5 2
Thematrian1 (8:56:33 PM): they aren't
Thematrian1 (8:56:34 PM): ouch
MilesMk1 (8:56:41 PM): Fortunately *I* don't have to worry about over-penetration. ;)
Thematrian1 (8:56:45 PM): poor guy never even sees it coming, but he does have armor...
Thematrian1 (8:56:48 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 4 3 2 4 2 4 1 1 4 2 4 2 2 3
Umbrafer (8:57:40 PM): I was worried that I wouldn't overpenetrate ;)
Thematrian1 (8:57:54 PM): haha, no. His back goes rigid, he collapses in a shower of blood and torn clothing. The two orks start to look over their shoulders
MilesMk1 (8:58:24 PM): Whichever one is taller gets the second burst.
MilesMk1 (8:58:31 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 3 6 5 3 4
Thematrian1 (8:58:36 PM): Ork on the left gets blasted.
Thematrian1 (8:58:38 PM): Sheesh
Umbrafer (8:58:42 PM): You sizist individual.
Thematrian1 (8:58:52 PM): I'll go ahead and give him a chance to dodge, but
Thematrian1 (8:58:55 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 2 3 1 3
Thematrian1 (8:59:01 PM): again, no
Thematrian1 (8:59:20 PM): he tries to scream, but if he makes any noise you can't hear it in the general din. Down he goes
MilesMk1 (8:59:50 PM): 14 rounds left in the clip...
MilesMk1 (9:00:27 PM): 15 if I had one in the chamber. I ought to start doing that, it'll be divisible by 3 that way...
Thematrian1 (9:01:06 PM): heh, the arithmetic of Shadowrun
Thematrian1 (9:01:12 PM): Trickster, your move
Dragcrell (9:01:54 PM): (and I'm nose to nose with a ork right?)
Thematrian1 (9:01:57 PM): yep
Thematrian1 (9:02:05 PM): singularly surprised-looking
Dragcrell (9:02:28 PM): *nods* ok so guns out I'll punch the SoB ^_^
Thematrian1 (9:02:52 PM): heh, ok, roll it
Dragcrell (9:03:51 PM): (throwing in 4 cp hehehehe)
Dragcrell (9:04:02 PM): Dragcrell rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 1 5 5 2 4 5
Thematrian1 (9:04:15 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 6 6 4 3 6 2 1 6 3 2 5 2 6 1
Thematrian1 (9:04:37 PM): he puts up his dukes, but you're faster. Damage?
EverGuard4 (9:04:44 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 6 6 2 5 1 3
Dragcrell (9:05:23 PM): (mmm str 5 *scraches head*)
Thematrian1 (9:05:44 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 3 4 4 3 6 5 2 2 1 6 4 6 1 6
MilesMk1 (9:05:45 PM): 5M then
Umbrafer (9:05:48 PM): (5M Stun)
Thematrian1 (9:06:09 PM): you punch him in the gut, but his stomach muscles are like rocks; you don't think he felt it
MilesMk1 (9:06:14 PM): (Incidentally, your snap blades do 5M also)
Thematrian1 (9:06:34 PM): (Do they? I thought they were S+2 L or so?)
Dragcrell (9:06:42 PM): (ya but didn't know if I had time to snap em out :P)
MilesMk1 (9:06:50 PM): (Just looked. The implants might do less, I think.)
Thematrian1 (9:06:58 PM): (Ah, ok)
Thematrian1 (9:07:50 PM): The Ork acts
Thematrian1 (9:08:14 PM): He pops a hand razor and tries to cut Trickster up with it
Thematrian1 (9:08:17 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 4 3 1 1 3 2 4 6 5 6 5 4 2 1
MilesMk1 (9:08:19 PM): (Yeah, hand razors are (str)L or (str+2)L for improved ones)
Thematrian1 (9:08:34 PM): (That's what I'm thinking of then, those are what I always go to. Case in point)
Dragcrell (9:09:06 PM): (dame and I just got thes cloths to ; ; any way what skill is used for doge?)
Thematrian1 (9:09:39 PM): (You roll unarmed + howevermuch CP you want to use)
MilesMk1 (9:09:53 PM): (Skill? Combat pool, and you can't dodge in melee as such unless you use full defense.)
Dragcrell (9:10:09 PM): (mmm)
Dragcrell (9:10:16 PM): Dragcrell rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 5 4 4 1 5 4
Thematrian1 (9:10:23 PM): sheesh
MilesMk1 (9:10:24 PM): Damn.
Dragcrell (9:10:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
MilesMk1 (9:10:37 PM): That ought to do something.
Thematrian1 (9:10:51 PM): That's 6D stun before staging, folks, on the counterattack no less
Umbrafer (9:10:57 PM): D
Thematrian1 (9:10:57 PM): er, 5D
Thematrian1 (9:10:59 PM): still
Thematrian1 (9:11:04 PM): nope, 6D, he deals M
Umbrafer (9:11:05 PM): :D, rather
Dragcrell (9:11:20 PM): (>_> dame where was that roll at the start <_<)
MilesMk1 (9:11:26 PM): He'll feel that, unless he's a very short troll.
Thematrian1 (9:11:28 PM): anyway, the point is, he tries to cut you with the hand razors, so you take the opportunity to get behind him and punch him repeatedly in the kidneys
Thematrian1 (9:11:32 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 4 4 3 4 3 1 1 3 2 4 2 3
Dragcrell (9:11:52 PM): (>_< oooo that well hurt all right ^_^)
Thematrian1 (9:12:05 PM): he grunts in surprised pain
MilesMk1 (9:12:05 PM): (Unless he starts counting at the first die. ;))
Dragcrell (9:12:07 PM): (unless he sokes it all that is *cough*)
Thematrian1 (9:14:37 PM): um. The mob moves forward, guys move backward, bleeding man hurries into an aisle. Some guys fire pistols at the van but it accomplishes nothing
MilesMk1 (9:15:00 PM): What does my leftover ork do?
MilesMk1 (9:15:15 PM): (Not that I'm not happy not getting shot back at, but...)
Thematrian1 (9:15:19 PM): shoots you in the face. Or makes the attempt, at any rate
Thematrian1 (9:15:22 PM): you do have cover
Thematrian1 (9:15:25 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 2 3 2 6 2 6 6 6 3 4 6 5 5 3
Umbrafer (9:15:31 PM): That's harsh,
Umbrafer (9:15:32 PM): *.
Thematrian1 (9:15:36 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 1 2 4 3 1 3 3 3 5 1 1 2 5 2
Thematrian1 (9:15:59 PM): Both shots go wide. Leader topples, the mob bellows its fear some more
Thematrian1 (9:17:57 PM): back to Alex
Umbrafer (9:18:22 PM): Crowd still advancing? They haven't wiped ruthenium-dude yet?
Thematrian1 (9:18:33 PM): nope
Umbrafer (9:18:50 PM): Second burst, same as the first (though presumably with different targets)
Thematrian1 (9:18:55 PM): ok
Umbrafer (9:19:04 PM): Umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 4 4 1 4 4 2 3 3 6
Umbrafer (9:19:08 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6

Umbrafer (9:19:22 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 4 3 3 3 1
Umbrafer (9:19:36 PM): Hit Hit Miss, looks like
Umbrafer (9:19:42 PM): Only one on each, though
Thematrian1 (9:19:50 PM): agreed. They try to dodge
Thematrian1 (9:19:53 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 5 5 4 5 5 6 5 6 6 4 6 2 6 4
Thematrian1 (9:20:01 PM): mmph. there's a TN mod, but what?
Umbrafer (9:20:26 PM): +1 for 3-round burst. If there's any "everyone's in a clump" mod I can't help you with it.
Thematrian1 (9:20:32 PM): hehe
Thematrian1 (9:20:38 PM): one dodges, one doesn't
Thematrian1 (9:22:22 PM): unsurprisingly, he fails to resist the machine gun bullets. Blake's action
MilesMk1 (9:23:55 PM): I shoot him with a 3-round burst. Did he back up to cover?
Thematrian1 (9:24:12 PM): nope. There isn't any close enough
Thematrian1 (9:24:17 PM): even the hostages are too far away
Thematrian1 (9:24:20 PM): roll
MilesMk1 (9:24:23 PM): Almost feel bad again...
MilesMk1 (9:24:27 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 5 1 1 5
MilesMk1 (9:24:32 PM): Ok, I no longer do.
MilesMk1 (9:24:51 PM): 13S, looks like 3 successes.
Thematrian1 (9:27:16 PM): right
Thematrian1 (9:27:20 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 3 5 2 4 3 2 4 1 6 4 6 3
Thematrian1 (9:28:08 PM): Yeah, he also dies
MilesMk1 (9:29:10 PM): Oh.
Thematrian1 (9:29:22 PM): Trickster, you have another action coming?
MilesMk1 (9:29:28 PM): Well, for my last action, can I observe in detail while shouting something?
MilesMk1 (9:30:03 PM): (since I had one more simple)
Dragcrell (9:30:10 PM): (yay! I can snap the blades out ^_^)
MilesMk1 (9:30:20 PM): (if not, I'd just like to observe in detail)
Thematrian1 (9:30:38 PM): (Sure)
MilesMk1 (9:31:39 PM): I yell "Get on the ground with your hands behind your head" at the hostages while looking for more targets.
MilesMk1 (9:31:44 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 6 2 2 3
MilesMk1 (9:31:48 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (9:32:22 PM): Ok. It will probably be a bit before they even process that, let alone obey or not
MilesMk1 (9:32:22 PM): #Out of targets here. Moving towards you from the direction of the hostages, don't plug me.#
Thematrian1 (9:32:30 PM): No targets visible
MilesMk1 (9:32:41 PM): I realize that, but I want to get a start on it.
Thematrian1 (9:32:59 PM): Ok. Trickster: snapping the blades, you said?
Dragcrell (9:33:25 PM): yep
Thematrian1 (9:34:54 PM): ok. Pretty sure that's a simple; anything left to do with your other?
Dragcrell (9:36:18 PM): any chance of attacking? (ya I'm shitty at rembering this >_<)
Umbrafer (9:36:30 PM): Not in melee
Thematrian1 (9:36:32 PM): nope, that's Complex
Thematrian1 (9:36:39 PM): although if you had a gun instead, you could shoot him
Thematrian1 (9:36:43 PM): because SR is like that
Dragcrell (9:37:23 PM): hehehehe true but can't rember if it had the Manhunter out or hulstered <_<
Thematrian1 (9:38:17 PM): holstered
Umbrafer (9:38:19 PM): When in doubt, Quickdraw.
Thematrian1 (9:38:25 PM): you may attempt to...yeah, that
Thematrian1 (9:38:36 PM): it involves a Reaction roll, against TN 6 I think
MilesMk1 (9:38:59 PM): I think it's 4 with the right kind of holster.
Umbrafer (9:39:00 PM): Yep, -2 if you've got a quickdraw holster.
MilesMk1 (9:39:05 PM): Right.
MilesMk1 (9:39:21 PM): Which, if these are the weapons I got you, you do.
Thematrian1 (9:39:33 PM): oh, ok then.
Dragcrell (9:40:13 PM): (lol ya I think I'll just leave it at the blades then becuse I dont have the quickdraw houlster in the list of stuff >_>)
Thematrian1 (9:40:56 PM): fair enough. Doing anything with your action?
Dragcrell (9:41:54 PM): *thinks* not that I can think of >_<
Umbrafer (9:42:06 PM): Observe in Detail
Thematrian1 (9:42:24 PM): ok then. The guy you just tangled with swings around and tries to slice you to ribbons, again
Thematrian1 (9:42:28 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 3 5 2 5 6 5 5 6 2 5 2 3 6 6
Dragcrell (9:43:17 PM): (dame O_o and no CP this round eh *prays*)
Dragcrell (9:43:30 PM): (mmmmm question unarmed or edge now?)
MilesMk1 (9:43:39 PM): ...
MilesMk1 (9:43:55 PM): (That sort of jokes might get you hurt in this company. ;))
Umbrafer (9:43:56 PM): (All you need to do is not take D.)
Thematrian1 (9:44:08 PM): (Either)
MilesMk1 (9:44:14 PM): Oh... Never mind.
Dragcrell (9:44:19 PM): (eh true ^_^)
MilesMk1 (9:44:23 PM): Unarmed or Edged.
Dragcrell (9:44:32 PM): Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 6 4 5 2

Dragcrell (9:44:45 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Dragcrell (9:45:19 PM): (*sigh* well so much for this t-shirt >_>)
Thematrian1 (9:46:03 PM): you get sliced in the chest. Resist 10L
Umbrafer (9:46:04 PM): (Higher of the two is usually a good call)
Dragcrell (9:46:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 1 6 4
Dragcrell (9:46:32 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Dragcrell (9:47:16 PM): (-_- dame this chere is going to be going thorw more cloths then a thrift shop)
Thematrian1 (9:48:05 PM): Trickster gets cut. Blood flies. Bullets fly off the van. Alex's action
Umbrafer (9:48:08 PM): (That's Shadowrunning for you.)
Dragcrell (9:48:37 PM): (ya but explaing the blood and no cuts is going to be a real bitch)
Umbrafer (9:48:40 PM): Unless something significant has changed, the mob receives a third 3-3-4.
MilesMk1 (9:49:02 PM): (Just say it's their blood, and that your form-fitting armor stopped the cuts.)
Umbrafer (9:49:21 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 2 6 3 5 5
Umbrafer (9:49:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 3

Thematrian1 (9:50:43 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 2 1 5 5 5 3 6 4 6 5 2 4 2 2
MilesMk1 (9:51:03 PM): (It's not like anyone will be poking their hands into the cuts in your clothes to check for wounds, will they?)
Dragcrell (9:51:20 PM): (lets hope not eh ^_^)
Thematrian1 (9:51:23 PM): first guy gets out of the way; mobs being what they are you hit someone else. Second guy gets out of the way, and the guy behind him dies. Third guy gets a bullet to the face
Umbrafer (9:52:35 PM): Yow.
Umbrafer (9:52:43 PM): Any movement from Ruthenium Dude
Umbrafer (9:52:44 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (9:53:14 PM): yeah, he's moving down the aisle.
Umbrafer (9:54:32 PM): Toward or away from the mob?
Thematrian1 (9:54:37 PM): round ends. Trickster heals. Ork guy looks creeped the hell out.

Umbrafer (9:56:24 PM): Now's your chance to beat me

Dragcrell (9:58:20 PM): (lol I thout the day hell freezes over is the day Trick goes befor both of em?)
MilesMk1 (9:58:33 PM): #Targets?#
Thematrian1 (9:58:49 PM): (pretty much. s'what you get for the lack of cyber)
MilesMk1 (9:59:12 PM): And I begin moving towards the hostages and the sounds of gunfire, looking for more targets, ork lady, and possibly the mage we thought was in here.
Dragcrell (9:59:14 PM): (ya I know but lest I hell to try and kill tho :3)
Umbrafer (9:59:28 PM): #Coming for Ruth-boy, dropping like flies.#
Thematrian1 (9:59:53 PM): ok. Roll perception

MilesMk1 (10:01:45 PM): I am just Eagle-Eye this run.
Thematrian1 (10:02:06 PM): You spot ork-lady, under a human woman. She's not moving. No sign of the mage
MilesMk1 (10:02:42 PM): #I see the ork suit... Going to make sure she's dead.#
MilesMk1 (10:02:54 PM): I assume she has cover?
Umbrafer (10:03:33 PM): #See if you can't get her for questioning.#
Thematrian1 (10:03:34 PM): yeah
Thematrian1 (10:03:46 PM): the unmoving human woman gives her cover
MilesMk1 (10:03:53 PM): #...Sure#
MilesMk1 (10:04:33 PM): I'm just going to continue moving towards her, ready to shoot her if she moves. And I repeat my "Get down, now!" spiel.
MilesMk1 (10:04:46 PM): continue walking, rather
Thematrian1 (10:04:51 PM): They're starting to obey
Thematrian1 (10:07:07 PM): Trickst...Alex?
Umbrafer (10:07:27 PM): The mob still oncoming?
Thematrian1 (10:08:48 PM): it's starting diving into aisles, trying to get some kind of protection from the murderous hail of gunfire
Dragcrell (10:09:18 PM): (awwwwww they no wish to play with Alex? shame shame)
Umbrafer (10:10:16 PM): Well, let'
Umbrafer (10:10:25 PM): s give them another salvo to speed them on their way.
Umbrafer (10:10:39 PM): How many aggressive-ish targets are remaining?
Thematrian1 (10:11:39 PM): zero. There are people disappearing down the aisles, and disappearing into the docking bay. That's it.
Umbrafer (10:13:01 PM): How's my route to the docking bay?
Thematrian1 (10:13:42 PM): mmph. Back out of the destroyed main doors, meander through the parking lot and you're there
Umbrafer (10:14:11 PM): Well, specifically I'm wondering the best way to cut off people's access to the trucks.
Thematrian1 (10:14:58 PM): you could charge them, but you'd wind up clipping the end of each aisle. And you'd have to negotiate the garden section somehow
Umbrafer (10:15:18 PM): Were I healthy…
Umbrafer (10:15:32 PM): #Want my help here, or do I make sure they don't take the trucks?#
MilesMk1 (10:15:39 PM): Physics sighs with relief.
MilesMk1 (10:17:41 PM): #We came here for the damn trucks, so I guess you'd better make sure... Just unload someone to watch the hostages and any prisoners while I mop up.#
MilesMk1 (10:18:02 PM): #Preferably not the excitable one with grenades.#
Thematrian1 (10:19:08 PM): Alex, what are you doing?
Umbrafer (10:19:31 PM): "Blake needs help. Any volunteers?"
Thematrian1 (10:19:43 PM): Alex, your turn is over. Trickster?
Umbrafer (10:20:04 PM): Unless anything serious happens I more or less exit combat to disgorge a volunteer and head around to the outside.
Thematrian1 (10:20:27 PM): Serlin opens the back doors and climbs out. You'll be able to move next Turn. Trickster, you're up
Dragcrell (10:20:38 PM): hit the guy with the blades ^_^
Dragcrell (10:20:53 PM): only useing 3 from cp this time heheh

Thematrian1 (10:23:32 PM): Trickster gets stabbed in the face
Thematrian1 (10:23:50 PM): Ork's turn. He likes what just happened, so he opts to go for it again
Thematrian1 (10:23:55 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 3 6 1 1 4 6 5 1 6 4 2 3 3 3
Dragcrell (10:24:00 PM): (SOB!)

Dragcrell (10:24:34 PM): (good thaing I spaced out the CP tho not much good it did *cough*)
Umbrafer (10:24:48 PM): Here's to hoping we don't end up with a dead fox on our hands.
Umbrafer (10:24:55 PM): In general melee is not the time to space out the CP
Thematrian1 (10:24:56 PM): no successes. Trickster gets stabbed again. Resist 10M

MilesMk1 (10:25:31 PM): You did it.
Thematrian1 (10:25:43 PM): Trickster, you get stabbed in the chest, but it doesn't seem to have been anywhere important. You take a Light wound
Dragcrell (10:26:13 PM): (ya no kidding but dame messing up the clothing all the same ; ;)
Umbrafer (10:26:29 PM): Just don't take three more boxes
Thematrian1 (10:26:58 PM): um. Alex is u...no, Blake
Thematrian1 (10:27:14 PM): people fall to the ground out of your way as you pass
MilesMk1 (10:27:46 PM): (You know, you *can* yell for help... Didn't we give you a radio...? We should...)
Dragcrell (10:28:21 PM): (ahhh I dout i well get that unlucky woudl have to roll a 1 and even then all I would need is a medic tho if it was a weapon foce then I would be in trouble)
MilesMk1 (10:28:25 PM): I stalk up to the Ork Lady - on my guard for being ambushed in case one of the "civilians" is the missing mage - and poke her somewhere sensitive with the muzzle of my rifle.
Thematrian1 (10:28:44 PM): her nose is visible. You poke her. No response
MilesMk1 (10:29:01 PM): And when I say "poke" I mean "stab" ;)
MilesMk1 (10:29:54 PM): But if that gets no response, I keep the gun pointed at her while I drag the woman's body off her.
Thematrian1 (10:29:55 PM): you stab her with your assault rifle (??) No response
Thematrian1 (10:29:58 PM): Alex?
Umbrafer (10:31:26 PM): Still disgorging, so I guess I Observe in Detail
Thematrian1 (10:31:43 PM): anything in particular?
Umbrafer (10:31:55 PM): Trying to see signs of anything that's a meaningful threat to me or of people moving the trucks, if I can see that far.
MilesMk1 (10:31:55 PM): #By the way, any change with the Invisible Man?#
Umbrafer (10:32:04 PM): I also respond to that question appropriately.
Thematrian1 (10:32:38 PM): He's still retreating. There are some goons in his aisle with him
Umbrafer (10:33:09 PM): Aggressive goons?
Thematrian1 (10:33:53 PM): could well be
Umbrafer (10:34:25 PM): Well, not much I can do there. I also mention to Serlin not to kill the invisible man unless he prompts it.
Thematrian1 (10:35:19 PM): Serlin shrugs
Thematrian1 (10:35:27 PM): Blake has one more action
Thematrian1 (10:36:36 PM): poking the ork suit yielding nada
MilesMk1 (10:37:04 PM): Assuming I dragged the woman's corpse off the OL, I check to see if she's been shot, hurt, or is just faking - ready to hit her with my shock glove if she is.
Thematrian1 (10:38:16 PM): ok. Roll First Aid
MilesMk1 (10:39:39 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 3
MilesMk1 (10:39:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:40:13 PM): there's not time or equipment for much detail, but she's not breathing and her heart isn't beating
Thematrian1 (10:40:39 PM): Serlin steps carefully around the bodies of the hostages, approaching you. Alex starts to drive
Thematrian1 (10:40:47 PM): Trickster and the Ork face off in the bottom of the round
Dragcrell (10:41:23 PM): (joy)
Dragcrell (10:41:41 PM): >_> wish me luck on the rolls lol going to need it
Thematrian1 (10:41:59 PM): Trickster acts first, again
MilesMk1 (10:42:00 PM): Any visible wounds?
Dragcrell (10:42:13 PM): punching the Ork >_>
Thematrian1 (10:42:19 PM): on her? Actually, yes; a neat line of bullet holes in her chest.
Dragcrell (10:42:20 PM): Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 3 4 3 4

Thematrian1 (10:44:29 PM): you try to punch him in the throat. It winds up being more of a punch in the nose, but he feels it
Thematrian1 (10:44:46 PM): the round ends, Trickster heals. Orkboy starts backing away
Dragcrell (10:45:27 PM): (can't imagen why the hell that would be *cough* tho I'm pissed about the shirt >_<)
Umbrafer (10:45:30 PM): :D
Thematrian1 (10:46:48 PM): Trickster, blood is dripping down your face but the gash in your skull has closed over. It feels warm and tingly
Dragcrell (10:47:39 PM): (your getting bord now eh :3)

Umbrafer (10:48:20 PM): 26.
Dragcrell (10:48:39 PM): *blink* 10 >_> ok is it me or each time I roll instive I keep getting lower and lower?)
MilesMk1 (10:49:02 PM): (You know, Dragcrell, if you're in a fight and you're really messed up, you're better off not using your action to attack a lot of the time, since it just lets the other guy do more damage to you)
MilesMk1 (10:49:47 PM): (Especially if you're just trying to survive till next round to heal.)
Dragcrell (10:50:03 PM): (true)
Thematrian1 (10:50:08 PM): Alex, you're up. No roll required to leave the store, but it drops you out of combat for the forseeable future
Umbrafer (10:50:47 PM): That's what I'm doing. Worst comes to worst I can get a partial angle via the Strato.
Thematrian1 (10:51:44 PM): so be it. Blake?
MilesMk1 (10:53:00 PM): (to Serlin) "Keep an eye on these people while I mop up. If *anything* develops, yell for help." *moves out to look for more targets* "Trickster?!"
Thematrian1 (10:53:52 PM): That's Blake. Trickster?
Dragcrell (10:54:51 PM): ok enufe fun and games I draw and if I can shoot the SoB with the manhunter
Thematrian1 (10:55:12 PM): ok. Quick draw?
Dragcrell (10:55:33 PM): *nods* tn?
Thematrian1 (10:56:08 PM): 4
Dragcrell (10:56:57 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 3 1 2 3
Dragcrell (10:57:04 PM): *crys*
Thematrian1 (10:57:05 PM): cute roll
Thematrian1 (10:57:09 PM): also a kick to the groin
Thematrian1 (10:57:19 PM): you try to quick-draw your pistol, but fumble it.
MilesMk1 (10:57:26 PM): ... Well, that just means it takes you a simple action to get it out... Or not.
Dragcrell (10:57:32 PM): oi not my night -_-
Thematrian1 (10:57:47 PM): (Is there not a penalty? I have my notes, but this is the campus computer center...)
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (10:59:06 PM): (My bad, you're right. Got the GURPS rules mixed up with SR...)
MilesMk1 (10:59:18 PM): (If you fail, you can't fire the gun at all this phase.)
Thematrian1 (10:59:33 PM): Trickster: you have another simple, but cna't use it to shoot people
Umbrafer (11:00:01 PM): What good is a Simple that you can't shoot people in?
Dragcrell (11:00:13 PM): (bah >_< thats not good eh any chance I heard Blake?
Thematrian1 (11:00:20 PM): you guys have gotten some mileage out of OiD, once I found out about it.
Thematrian1 (11:00:25 PM): hey, good point. You did hear him
Umbrafer (11:00:48 PM): OiD?
Thematrian1 (11:01:02 PM): Observe in Detail
Dragcrell (11:01:13 PM): "Here with company" (granted I can say all that)
Umbrafer (11:01:14 PM): I think that's the first time I've ever seen a Quickdraw fail.
Umbrafer (11:01:16 PM): 'Strue.
Thematrian1 (11:01:24 PM): You may.
Thematrian1 (11:01:49 PM): Trickster's done, Alex is out of combat. Ork acts, but he backs into the open space
Thematrian1 (11:02:26 PM): Blake?
MilesMk1 (11:02:45 PM): #Are we killing everyone, or do we not care as long as we get the truck?#
Dragcrell (11:02:52 PM): (hell I'm suprised I haven't rolled all 1's yet >_>)
MilesMk1 (11:03:08 PM): If I hear Trickster, I move toward the sound of his voice, using cover as much as possible.
MilesMk1 (11:03:36 PM): #Or do we need prisoners to question?#
Thematrian1 (11:03:41 PM): Ok, you're midway through the aisle. At the end of the turn you'll be able to look down across the open space around the checkout
Thematrian1 (11:03:43 PM): oh, Blake
Thematrian1 (11:03:49 PM): almost forgot to mention
Umbrafer (11:04:03 PM): #Question on principle if we can. Otherwise, kill 'em all.#
Thematrian1 (11:04:09 PM): now that the hostages are mostly lying down, you see an ork and human cowering behind a shot-up checkout counter
Umbrafer (11:04:18 PM): #Fewer people who can fight in this city, the better for us.#
MilesMk1 (11:04:44 PM): What do they look like - hostages or thugs?
Thematrian1 (11:05:14 PM): thugs. They're carrying copper pipes
MilesMk1 (11:05:34 PM): Regardless, I guess I need to take care of them... Take aim and yell "Get out here and get on the fucking ground with the rest!"
Thematrian1 (11:06:29 PM): They stare at you, and start to rise
MilesMk1 (11:07:21 PM): "Either one of you want an EX shot in the guts? I said move!"
Thematrian1 (11:07:53 PM): We can, if you wish, leave combat at this point; thoguh people are still doing hostile things it's out of your view
MilesMk1 (11:09:38 PM): My plan at this point is to: 1. Give them each a love-tap with a shock glove - but a light one, so they give Serlin no trouble but aren't out - and then look for Mr. Ruthenium while shooting any stragglers that were
MilesMk1 (11:09:44 PM): dumb enough not to keep running.
MilesMk1 (11:10:04 PM): I guess looking for Mr. Ruthenium would be the #2 on that list.
Dragcrell (11:10:21 PM): simply meet up with Blake and keeping the Gun trained on Ork boy
Thematrian1 (11:10:48 PM): Ok. The thugs stand uncertainly. Ork boy retracts his hand razor. Alex: you see a truck pulling out of the loading dock
Dragcrell (11:12:33 PM): where is the register and others bunched up in relashion to me?
Thematrian1 (11:12:53 PM): Blake saunters up to the orks. They lie down. They get the love tap. A grenade goes off somewhere over in the garden section
Umbrafer (11:12:58 PM): Driving in front of it, sensor lock on the driver.
Umbrafer (11:13:02 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 5 2 1 2
Umbrafer (11:13:05 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (11:13:09 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (11:13:58 PM): "Fucking hell..." *heads for the garden section, trying to utilise cover, and looking for Ruthenium Boy*
MilesMk1 (11:14:20 PM): #Grenade just went off by the plants, going to check on it.#
Thematrian1 (11:15:17 PM): Alex: you've locked the driver, but you have to get out of the parking lot, while he has a straight shot to the road. Parked cars separate you.
Dragcrell (11:15:29 PM): *growls at Ork boy* "Back to the hostages NOW! Blake what the hell was that?"
Thematrian1 (11:16:19 PM): The ork goes meekly. Blake heads for the garden section. Down one aisle you see three thugs of indeterminate race frantically pulling stacks of lumber away from the fire escape
Umbrafer (11:17:16 PM): Well, I guess I'll wait for a clear shot and then SEG him out of the driver's seat.
Dragcrell (11:17:20 PM): any sings of Ruth man? by chance or the Mage?
Thematrian1 (11:17:35 PM): Trickster: Perception

Umbrafer (11:19:04 PM): Which level of VCR-mods do I get?
MilesMk1 (11:19:05 PM): I don't waste shots on anyone busy running - only on anyone acting hostile. I continue trying to locate the ruthenium guy. #Alex, you still have that sensor lock on the guy?#
Thematrian1 (11:19:28 PM): Alex: all of them
Umbrafer (11:19:57 PM): What I mean is, driving tests rate a -3 TN, while all other manouvers (give or take) get -6
Thematrian1 (11:20:07 PM): ah. -6
Thematrian1 (11:20:16 PM): Trickster: you spot Mr. Ruthenium. He has climbed eight feet up, and is lying on one shelf looking down at you.

Umbrafer (11:20:33 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (11:20:58 PM): TN should be 0+5-6+(other stuff)… Tight terrain, would you say?
Thematrian1 (11:21:20 PM): yeah
Umbrafer (11:21:29 PM): So +3, for a final TN of… 2.
Thematrian1 (11:21:55 PM): heard that one before
Umbrafer (11:21:57 PM): Ah, Riggers.
Umbrafer (11:22:10 PM): At least this time it isn't rounded up :)
Thematrian1 (11:22:28 PM): ok, you bound like a gazelle through the parking lot, and tear off in pursuit of this truck. It's clear the the driver only has a very basic idea of what to do
Thematrian1 (11:22:34 PM): Blake: Perception
MilesMk1 (11:22:49 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 4 5 3

Thematrian1 (11:23:42 PM): you don't see him
MilesMk1 (11:23:55 PM): Doh.
Umbrafer (11:24:12 PM): #Yeah, still locked.#
MilesMk1 (11:24:27 PM): #Where is he? Anywhere near the garden section?#
Dragcrell (11:24:27 PM): ^_^ ruthem dont do shit vs. astral veiwers :P
MilesMk1 (11:24:46 PM): #Someone popped off a grenade over there.#
Dragcrell (11:25:00 PM): "Haveing fun up there?"
Umbrafer (11:25:02 PM): I relay that info if feasible
Thematrian1 (11:25:30 PM): It's not. You can tell him exactly where he is relative to the van
Umbrafer (11:26:00 PM): Done. When I'm done with all this I can give him more detail.
Thematrian1 (11:27:29 PM): drive drive. Ruth does not respond
MilesMk1 (11:27:37 PM): This is really screwing with my sense of direction... :) I don't suppose I see Trickster talking to thin air?
Dragcrell (11:27:55 PM): (ROFL)
MilesMk1 (11:28:10 PM): If not, I just continue my search - making sure I don't miss any thugs.
Thematrian1 (11:28:16 PM): you see it, you hear it, yeah
Dragcrell (11:28:50 PM): *grunts* "eh fine stay up there and bleed dont make much diffrence to me." *turns to catch up with Blake*
MilesMk1 (11:28:55 PM): "Is that the guy in Ruthenium, Trickster?"
Dragcrell (11:29:28 PM): *nods* "ya about 8' up laing down."
Thematrian1 (11:29:30 PM): Blake: you can now see where the grenade detonated. This one was filled with white phosphorus; good thing the lumber had mostly been removed from this section
Thematrian1 (11:29:44 PM): Trickster: note, the guy is now edging away down the shelf
MilesMk1 (11:30:34 PM): And is Ruthenium guy the logical candidate for who threw it? I assume I at least see no one else.
Dragcrell (11:30:52 PM): *slowly turns back around and stars at the guy* "need some help?"
Thematrian1 (11:31:36 PM): You don't. There's a guy lying at the far end of the aisle, covered in WP. If it was him...
Thematrian1 (11:31:48 PM): This isn't the same aisle that Trickster was talking into, though.
Thematrian1 (11:31:53 PM): No response from Ruth.
Thematrian1 (11:32:19 PM): Alex: it's simplicity itself to draw alongside the truck, especially since the stop lights no longer function
Dragcrell (11:32:48 PM): can I get any info from his aura by chance?
Thematrian1 (11:33:11 PM): roll assensing
Dragcrell (11:33:22 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 1 1 2 5
Dragcrell (11:33:29 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (11:34:00 PM): he's afraid, he's got less essence than you've ever seen in a living being. He's not a mage of any kind.
Thematrian1 (11:34:05 PM): This is a very tense person.
Umbrafer (11:34:14 PM): Pointing the MMG straight at the driver, giving him a few seconds to slow down. If he doesn't, it's a six-round burst through the window.
Thematrian1 (11:34:51 PM): He doesn't. Roll it.
MilesMk1 (11:35:15 PM): "Look, whoever you are... You're free to go if you want to, so take it easy with the grenades - but I'd like to ask you a few questions first. No reason why we can't help each other out, because
MilesMk1 (11:35:24 PM): I don't think you're here after the merchandise."
Thematrian1 (11:35:39 PM): Silence. Trickster, Ruth has stopped edging away.
MilesMk1 (11:36:02 PM): I say that loudly enough to be heard, and continue to look for whoever else might have thrown the grenade.
Thematrian1 (11:36:24 PM): right
Dragcrell (11:36:49 PM): *sighs* "This one is a tence one Blake farly afrade as well. Tho would like to know what he was up to my self."
Thematrian1 (11:38:25 PM): Something sticks a head out of the dock doors, sees Blake, and retreats
MilesMk1 (11:38:53 PM): "If you tell me what you were after, there's no reason you can't get it and leave peacefully... Unless it's a refrigerator..."
Thematrian1 (11:39:00 PM): (heh)
Thematrian1 (11:39:31 PM): You hear him clearing his throat.
Thematrian1 (11:39:36 PM): He (definitely a he)
Thematrian1 (11:39:37 PM): replies
Thematrian1 (11:39:57 PM): Oops, being thrown out of the library, see you all next week.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:40:11 PM): Son of a...
Dragcrell (11:40:19 PM): O_o well that was........................
MilesMk1 (11:40:21 PM): He did that on purpose, didn't he. :)
Umbrafer (11:40:22 PM): That was…
Umbrafer (11:40:23 PM): Aburpt.
Dragcrell (11:40:34 PM): yes he did >_<
Umbrafer (11:40:37 PM): C'est la vie.
MilesMk1 (11:40:40 PM): Well, this went well, all things conisdered.
Umbrafer (11:40:48 PM): Indeed.
Umbrafer (11:41:01 PM): Hopefully I can MMG the driver out of his seat without damage to the merchandise
Umbrafer (11:41:06 PM): Too much damage, rather
Dragcrell (11:41:08 PM): ya not counting the fact I have a nicely slashed up shirt
MilesMk1 (11:41:25 PM): They're dead or in disarray, we have captives, we've established dialogue with the ruthnium-covered plot hook...
MilesMk1 (11:41:50 PM): We'll get you a bunch of Home Despot t-shirts.
MilesMk1 (11:41:58 PM): Everyone sells t-shirts these days.
Dragcrell (11:42:01 PM): ^_^
MilesMk1 (11:42:30 PM): Was this *the* truck, or just a truck, BTW?
MilesMk1 (11:42:40 PM): I assume the former, but it wasn't clear to me.
Umbrafer (11:42:52 PM): Wasn't clear to me either, and I'm not sure there's a way to find out.
Umbrafer (11:43:01 PM): Has to be more than one truck, though
Dragcrell (11:43:03 PM): hehehe wash my cloths? they never last that long lol
Umbrafer (11:43:05 PM): They cleared the place out.
Umbrafer (11:43:34 PM): Make sure to grab the bug spray.
Umbrafer (11:43:50 PM): Can either of you drive a truck?
Dragcrell (11:44:15 PM): >_> *cough*
Umbrafer (11:44:22 PM): Oh man… if their handling didn't probably suck arse, I'd be so salivating over ramming something with those things.
MilesMk1 (11:44:48 PM): Is it covered by the Car skill?
Umbrafer (11:45:05 PM): Yep, with a few penalties for Very Large Vehicle in Class
MilesMk1 (11:45:17 PM): Mhmm... I have Car at 3.
MilesMk1 (11:45:21 PM): And a reaction of 10.
MilesMk1 (11:45:33 PM): Unless something is shooting at me, I can drive anything manually...
Dragcrell (11:45:50 PM): bike 1 and a reaction of 6 >_<
Umbrafer (11:46:04 PM): Hopefully I'll just be able to link them to my network
Umbrafer (11:46:13 PM): We should steal all of them if possible, I think
Umbrafer (11:46:21 PM): Even if we don't need them
Umbrafer (11:46:44 PM): We'll be the only Chicago residents with our own truck fleet.
MilesMk1 (11:47:18 PM): Where are we going to put them? Is the garage that big?
Umbrafer (11:48:05 PM): No, probably not
Umbrafer (11:48:27 PM): There's a lot of useful things that can be done with them, though
Umbrafer (11:48:47 PM): Like mobile living quarters
Umbrafer (11:48:58 PM): For expeditions to recover our lost contacts
MilesMk1 (11:49:15 PM): True.
MilesMk1 (11:49:27 PM): Hell, if we just take a truck without a trailer...
Umbrafer (11:49:49 PM): Absolute bare minimum we can just snag the fuel
Umbrafer (11:49:54 PM): That's valuable stuff now
MilesMk1 (11:50:05 PM): That's one sturdy vehicle and lots of room inside the cab. Assuming they're a lot like actual 18-wheelers.
Umbrafer (11:50:11 PM): Indeed.
Umbrafer (11:50:39 PM): Take the trailer, we can always detach it later and leave it around as obstacles or an addition.
Vernjonal has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:51:13 PM): Hmm... Get rid of a trailer, lower the profile a bit, and place an armored passenger compartment with a large turret on the back, where the trailer hitch is... :)
Dragcrell (11:51:33 PM): your evil
Umbrafer (11:51:55 PM): We'll turn this city into Mad Max
MilesMk1 (11:52:03 PM): Of course, the question would be where to get the armor, but we could have the closest thing to a tank inside the Chicago city limits. :D
Dragcrell (11:52:04 PM): lol
Umbrafer (11:52:30 PM): We're pretty lightly armored, actually.
Umbrafer (11:52:53 PM): And particularly vulnerable at the moment, with my dodge TN floating at about 5 instead of about 2.
MilesMk1 (11:53:00 PM): I meant once we up-armor and re-design the 18-wheeler. :)
Umbrafer (11:53:08 PM): Ah yes :D
Umbrafer (11:53:12 PM): This is true.
Umbrafer (11:53:19 PM): Man. If only I could get my hands on a Boomer.
MilesMk1 (11:54:14 PM): I mean, seriously... Cut off most of the roof, lowering the profile 2-3 feet, make the driver's seat recline back so a driver will fit (the less to armor the better)
MilesMk1 (11:54:34 PM): then put an armored compartment with a turretted heavy weapon on the back...
Umbrafer (11:54:50 PM): Hell, give me an armored cocoon and I'll be ok
MilesMk1 (11:54:58 PM): Weld large round pieces of armor over the wheels...
Umbrafer (11:55:09 PM): Maybe not happy (Alex likes her comfort, hence the perpetual lack of armored clothing), but ok
MilesMk1 (11:55:51 PM): Well, we can lower the roof quite a bit and still leave enough room for a comfy horizontal acceleration couch...
MilesMk1 (11:55:55 PM): Hehe.
MilesMk1 (11:56:14 PM): Of course, I'm sure we'll have the time or materials for none of this, but it's nice to dream.
Umbrafer (11:57:10 PM): We need our dreams. That's what separates us from the ganger scum, from the wageslaves working another 80-hour week and not knowing why.
MilesMk1 (11:57:59 PM): Right, right.
Umbrafer (11:58:09 PM): We pursue the American dream through overwhelming force and a dislike of authority.
Umbrafer (11:58:26 PM): Life, Liberty, and a Panther Assault Cannon. Isn't that how it goes?
MilesMk1 (11:58:29 PM): "Kill my boss? Dare I live the American dream?"
Dragcrell (11:59:26 PM): heheheehheehehe
MilesMk1 (11:59:41 PM): I wonder how Seiler will take it when we announce our intention to become warlords of a piece of Chicago... :)
Dragcrell (12:00:02 AM): *chucles*
Umbrafer (12:00:07 AM): I doubt he'll be surprised.
MilesMk1 (12:00:19 AM): Although seriously speaking, I guess our actual intention (though we'll probably be stymied) is actually to get all the people we can, and run, right?
Umbrafer (12:00:21 AM): Remember, he's GMed for us for over a year now.
Umbrafer (12:00:29 AM): Pretty much.
Umbrafer (12:00:50 AM): Though we're somewhat caught in the "get all the people we can" stage
MilesMk1 (12:00:59 AM): But I don't think he started Bug City only to have us spend two or three days inside and then run...
MilesMk1 (12:01:11 AM): Though we almost did do that when we broke out...
Umbrafer (12:01:17 AM): I think even in-character we'd realize that we pretty much threw away our chance at easy/fast escape
Dragcrell (12:01:47 AM): ya that was not fun not looking forward to round 2 of that area
MilesMk1 (12:01:51 AM): Probably.
MilesMk1 (12:02:14 AM): Enough time has passed that now there probably really are tanks in the area.
MilesMk1 (12:02:32 AM): Or at the very least NG troops with lots of nasty weapons.
Umbrafer (12:02:34 AM): They're breaking out the riot drones.
Umbrafer (12:02:50 AM): We could steal a couple extras, perhaps.
MilesMk1 (12:03:02 AM): I sort of hope one of the NG troops gets lost. I want a security helmet.
Dragcrell (12:03:24 AM): hehehehehehe "Hey Jo where is number 7 at I can't find it?"
Umbrafer (12:04:24 AM): Meanwhile I need to decide how vindictive Alex is with all of this
MilesMk1 (12:05:06 AM): Oh, you mean, what we do with the two guards?
Umbrafer (12:05:21 AM): Well, there's that too.
MilesMk1 (12:05:31 AM): Oh. What else did you mean?
Umbrafer (12:05:36 AM): Specifically, Alex has an old score to settle with a cop
MilesMk1 (12:05:42 AM): Ah.
Umbrafer (12:05:59 AM): (She really hates undercover cops.)
Umbrafer (12:06:36 AM): So now the question is, does she sit back with an "he's meat anyway" attitude, or does she go act as the butcher.
MilesMk1 (12:07:02 AM): Logic would dicate that, given what a mess the city is, he'll be almost impossible to find...
Umbrafer (12:07:17 AM): Sooth.
MilesMk1 (12:07:45 AM): Ah, hell... I just remembered - we have that rat-spirit thing and its master to deal with once we get this stuff wrapped up.
Umbrafer (12:07:46 AM): Still, she might give a try. There's also someone who needs breaking out of prison, though they may already be out and wandering.
MilesMk1 (12:08:05 AM): Damn, that's a long and painful backstory. ;)
Umbrafer (12:08:19 AM): Even just by the time we've collected our contacts we're going to have a regular fiefdom at hand.
MilesMk1 (12:08:38 AM): Assuming they want to be contacted...
Dragcrell (12:08:42 AM): lol
MilesMk1 (12:09:19 AM): Though it'd seem like the smart thing to do - do you prefer to take your chances alone, or stick together with a bunch of heavily armed people with their own power?
MilesMk1 (12:09:45 AM): Man... I don't even know if any of my contacts are married. I think the doctor, at the least, has a family...
MilesMk1 (12:09:53 AM): Ed is single, I'm pretty sure...
Dragcrell (12:10:29 AM): Mehehehehehehehehe ya well I know hes haveing a fild day with my latest brain storm ^_^
MilesMk1 (12:10:32 AM): Level 1 contacts I'll unfortunately have to forget about, I think... I have 4 others plus Jerome to think about...
Umbrafer (12:10:44 AM): Sigrun needs some magical fixing.
MilesMk1 (12:10:47 AM): Who is? Seiler?
MilesMk1 (12:10:58 AM): One of my contacts is a shaman.
Umbrafer (12:11:02 AM): I want to pick up my level 1 contact on principle
MilesMk1 (12:11:07 AM): Hopefully we can pick her up.
Umbrafer (12:11:22 AM): And because he's an arms dealer, so he might have some stuff left over for us.
Umbrafer (12:11:30 AM): I'm wishing I'd brought more MMG rounds into this.
Dragcrell (12:11:35 AM): *nods* ya had a big brain storm at work no stats yet just a story to work off of right now
MilesMk1 (12:11:40 AM): I'd want to pick mine up on principle too, but one is a corp suit, the other an ex-cop, and they never appeared int the game yet.
MilesMk1 (12:12:07 AM): So you're planning on changing characters?
Dragcrell (12:13:15 AM): eh hard to say I all ready have a back up in cast Trick goes down but I dont see that happing unless I get insanly unlucky on rolling and even my lucks not that twisted
Umbrafer (12:14:01 AM): In retrospect it really wasn't a good decision to take so few contacts
Umbrafer (12:14:11 AM): If just because it doesn't really make sense for Alex, half-Face that she is
Dragcrell (12:14:45 AM): but theres a few quarks and such with the new one we have to work em out and just how to introduce the chear as well
MilesMk1 (12:15:29 AM): Ah.
MilesMk1 (12:15:41 AM): He's... Ruthenium Man!
MilesMk1 (12:16:00 AM): Yeah, I had money left over, so I got a bunch.
MilesMk1 (12:16:14 AM): Came in handy so far.
Dragcrell (12:16:28 AM): *chucles* not even close acutly tho She could probly give even Blake a run for his life ^_^
Umbrafer (12:17:14 AM): Athletic adept, then?
Umbrafer (12:17:19 AM): ;)
MilesMk1 (12:18:22 AM): Heh. Well, Blake isn't nearly as broken an min-maxed as he could have been...
Dragcrell (12:18:25 AM): *smiles* like I said still a few items I'm working on but one thing is for serten if I do finish her in time I might see about swiching out Trick
MilesMk1 (12:18:43 AM): But he's very well rounded...
Umbrafer (12:19:20 AM): "In time" for what, out of interest?
Umbrafer (12:19:46 AM): At this point, the most likely campaign-ender is a TPK, as far as I can tell
Dragcrell (12:20:37 AM): lol dont worry you'll still hold the area in the gun area this one is melee set. Oh the chicago area *taps finger to chin* some ways it a good area and time realy but *smiles* can never realy tell ether hehehehe
Umbrafer (12:21:59 AM): Need… more… MMG rounds…
MilesMk1 (12:22:13 AM): Well, hopefully when we rescue Ed...
MilesMk1 (12:22:32 AM): Six months or so from now, real-time... :P
Umbrafer (12:22:37 AM): :D
Dragcrell (12:22:39 AM): right now the Chear is still in the discusion faze just waiting on him to pick something then I'll start working out the other details
Umbrafer (12:22:47 AM): I swear, Borrowed Time is such free points for our games.
Dragcrell (12:23:00 AM): hehehehehe
MilesMk1 (12:23:45 AM): Yeah, in a way... Unless suddenly you guys decided to start giving us a few weeks' downtime between each run...
MilesMk1 (12:23:59 AM): Speaking of running - I should.
MilesMk1 (12:24:06 AM): Good night.
Dragcrell (12:24:15 AM): Night
Umbrafer (12:24:16 AM): Sleep well.
MilesMk1 (12:24:43 AM): See you next week, most likely - there's something I need to take care of on Thursday that'll probably make me miss the game... :(
Umbrafer (12:25:16 AM): :( Fair enow.
Umbrafer (12:25:29 AM): Let me know if it changes.
MilesMk1 (12:25:43 AM): I will. I'd rather we didn't miss two weeks in a row...
MilesMk1 (12:25:47 AM): See you later.
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (12:26:02 AM): *Waves*
Dragcrell (12:26:25 AM): acutly I think you know of some of the quarks on the Chear as I know he was going to run some past you
Umbrafer (12:27:19 AM): I'm not sure if he has, aside from the smashing blow thing
Dragcrell (12:27:21 AM): but mostly he's worryed about the "Freak" factor
Dragcrell (12:28:56 AM): *nods* ya this one is a real dozy tho its why I rather take the time and make shoure he is ok with whats being done befor moveing to the next step and soforth I dout it well be done any time soon tho
Dragcrell (12:30:47 AM): *chucles* ya hes haveing a ball with Anibell and was haveing a hard time with whitch spell to add to the cher.
Umbrafer (12:32:35 AM): You seem to have a particular taste for unique character
Umbrafer (12:32:37 AM): *s
Dragcrell (12:33:27 AM): hehehe there the fun ones ^_^ but over all the new one follows the same rules as Trick only a twist as been added
Umbrafer (12:36:19 AM): In any event, I must needs be off sleepward.
Umbrafer (12:36:28 AM): *Waves* Take care.
Dragcrell (12:36:30 AM): ok have fun ^_^
Dragcrell has left the chat room.
