Thematrian1 (8:38:29 PM): when we left our protagonists, they were variously staggering around, looking over their unconscious doctor friends, bleeding profusely, and looking for their bodies
Umbrafer (8:40:10 PM): And sniper-hunting.
Thematrian1 (8:40:15 PM): yes, and that
Thematrian1 (8:41:44 PM): Blake: Rock is looking shocky, and bends to look through Jeremy's pockets
Thematrian1 (8:43:38 PM): he spends a few moments searching, looks unhappy, then moves on to the recently deceased Guy With Chain
Thematrian1 (8:45:06 PM): Alex: what were you doing again?
Umbrafer (8:45:42 PM): Hanging out somewhat over a kilometer away from the scene, arcing a Strato up and over the site looking for snipers
Thematrian1 (8:46:09 PM): 1.5 kilometers, and looking for snipers, check. Passive and active sensors
MilesMk1 (8:47:33 PM): Oops... Have you guys been waiting long? Had a minor emergency...
Thematrian1 (8:47:40 PM): no worries, and no
Umbrafer (8:48:18 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 1 3 6 3
Umbrafer (8:48:20 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (8:48:24 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 6 4 1 1 3 1 2
MilesMk1 (8:48:26 PM): Ok... Assuming I hear no sound of goon feet closing in, I use my first aid to see what shape the doctor's in, and whether I could revive him with a stimpatch if necessary.
Umbrafer (8:48:27 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (8:48:42 PM): Ugh. Unless they're obvious from above, active's my only shot here.
Thematrian1 (8:48:43 PM): Blake: roll 'em
MilesMk1 (8:48:56 PM): Perception.
MilesMk1 (8:49:00 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 5 3 3 4 5
MilesMk1 (8:49:04 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (8:49:07 PM): First Aid.
MilesMk1 (8:49:10 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 3 3 4
Thematrian1 (8:49:11 PM): You hear no sound of goon feet closing in
Thematrian1 (8:49:16 PM): A stimpatch would revive him
Thematrian1 (8:49:49 PM): The damage to the back of the head isn't serious; you're 98% sure his brain is safe
MilesMk1 (8:49:59 PM): Do I know if you can use more than one in a row, if necessary?
MilesMk1 (8:50:07 PM): "Rock, what are you looking for?"
Thematrian1 (8:50:09 PM): (Jon: what happens if you do?)
MilesMk1 (8:50:22 PM): Yay!
Thematrian1 (8:50:28 PM): Rock turns and looks into your eyes. "How do you heal a man who's unconscious?"
Thematrian1 (8:50:36 PM): (Yay?)
MilesMk1 (8:50:46 PM): Gedeon's on.
Umbrafer (8:50:52 PM): (As far as I know, nothing in particular other than taking the two boxes of stun at the end instead of one)
Gedeon Ogoun has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (8:51:11 PM): *holds out a stimpatch* "With one of these."
Thematrian1 (8:51:23 PM): he reaches out to snatch it out of your hand. Care to stop him?
MilesMk1 (8:51:45 PM): Um... No, let's see where this goes, though I don't let him touch Jeremy.
Dragcrell (8:52:02 PM): ((hehehehehe))
Thematrian1 (8:52:18 PM): He does, then stops and looks at it. "You just stick it to the side of the neck?"
MilesMk1 (8:52:25 PM): Um... Does he sound like himself? I realize it could be hard to tell what with the stun and so on...
Thematrian1 (8:52:45 PM): No. His voice is the same, but his pronunciation is different, if that makes sense.
MilesMk1 (8:53:21 PM): "You pull that tab to peel the backing off first. Who are you and what are you doing in Rock's body? Is he the unconscious one?"
Gedeon Ogoun (8:53:36 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 4 1 5 3 4 1 1
Thematrian1 (8:53:40 PM): Blake: perception
MilesMk1 (8:53:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 2 3 1 3
MilesMk1 (8:53:49 PM): Argh.
MilesMk1 (8:53:52 PM): Karma.
MilesMk1 (8:54:06 PM): (I have a fair amount, and this could be important.) Roll them all?
Thematrian1 (8:54:10 PM): yeah
MilesMk1 (8:54:14 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 5 6 1 3
MilesMk1 (8:54:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (8:54:21 PM): Bah.
Thematrian1 (8:54:28 PM): keeping that roll?
MilesMk1 (8:55:08 PM): Yeah.
MilesMk1 (8:55:34 PM): Two karma to re-roll that is... All I could afford, and we're not out of the woods yet.
MilesMk1 (8:55:57 PM): Actually, I think this leaves me with 3, now that I think on it, but the point stands.
Thematrian1 (8:56:08 PM): ok. There's a brief flash of panic in Rock's eyes, then a blank hardness. Willpower
MilesMk1 (8:56:23 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 3 4 4 4 6
MilesMk1 (8:56:26 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 1
MilesMk1 (8:56:30 PM): ARGH!
Thematrian1 (8:56:41 PM): if you choose to karma, you'll be rerolling one die
Thematrian1 (8:56:48 PM): I dismiss your ARGH as premature
MilesMk1 (8:56:52 PM): Heh... Ok.
MilesMk1 (8:57:17 PM): It's not that, I just hate rolling a 1 after a 6, regardless of circumstances. :)
Thematrian1 (8:57:23 PM): Well, that's fair.
Thematrian1 (8:57:26 PM): Nothing happens.
Thematrian1 (8:57:38 PM): Rock peels off the back and slaps the patch onto the side of his neck
Umbrafer (8:57:54 PM): Aw crap
MilesMk1 (8:58:20 PM): (Hmm. Perhaps I did kill Rock last session after all?)
Dragcrell (8:58:36 PM): (mmm a new twist in our amnisaed fellow I think)
Thematrian1 (8:58:45 PM): He looks puzzled for a moment
MilesMk1 (8:58:56 PM): That was rating 6, by the way.
Thematrian1 (8:59:09 PM): Then screams, an animal noise full of fear and pain
Thematrian1 (8:59:18 PM): then he collapses at your feet
MilesMk1 (8:59:22 PM): Uh...
MilesMk1 (8:59:41 PM): Well, that went better than I expected, all things considered.
MilesMk1 (8:59:45 PM): First aid?
MilesMk1 (8:59:49 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 1 5 5
Dragcrell (8:59:50 PM): (mmmm poor Blake now has two ppl he might have to drag out)
Thematrian1 (8:59:52 PM): (God above, what were you expecting?)
MilesMk1 (9:00:13 PM): (Whatever was inside him to try to eat my soul? I dunno...)
MilesMk1 (9:00:31 PM): (Sorry, this whole "Bug City" business has me a bit paranoid. :P)
Dragcrell (9:00:53 PM): (lol ya I've seen *cough*)
Thematrian1 (9:01:11 PM): first aid first aid first aid. He's totally unresponsive, and his heart is running about 200 beats per minute
Thematrian1 (9:02:57 PM): but he's breathing, and seems unlikely to die in the next sixty seconds
MilesMk1 (9:03:14 PM): Well, that's not real healthy... I peel off the stimpatch, since I thik he needs no more sitmulation...
MilesMk1 (9:03:41 PM): #Uh... How are things going out there?#
Umbrafer (9:04:37 PM): #Can't find the snipers. What's going on?#
MilesMk1 (9:04:39 PM): #I've taken out all immediately available opposition, and Jeremy and Rock are both alive, but, um, I just had a conversation with someone inside Rock's body who wasn't him.#
Umbrafer (9:04:54 PM): #Oh.#
MilesMk1 (9:05:11 PM): #Which sort of explains why he walked away from that grenade when I expected him to be unconsious.#
MilesMk1 (9:06:04 PM): #He asked me for a stimpatch, applied it, gave a howl, and collapsed. But he seems likely to stay alive, at least for the moment.#
MilesMk1 (9:06:17 PM): #Jeremy got conked on the head, but he'll be ok.#
MilesMk1 (9:06:46 PM): #Currently, I'm thinking of reviving him and checking out the rest of the place.#
MilesMk1 (9:06:58 PM): #Why don't you ask Gedeon where the snipers were? He seemed to know.#
Umbrafer (9:07:13 PM): *Glances to Gedeon*
Thematrian1 (9:07:32 PM): Gedeon is lying in the back of the van.
Gedeon Ogoun (9:07:34 PM): *drool*
Umbrafer (9:07:38 PM): #I think he's out.#
Thematrian1 (9:07:39 PM): yeah, that
MilesMk1 (9:08:01 PM): As this conversation goes on, I check the hallway littered with bodies and see if any of them are alive - starting with Robin - who I also check for things like keys, cred, etc.
Gedeon Ogoun (9:08:04 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 3 5 6 6 4 3 5
MilesMk1 (9:08:08 PM): But...
Gedeon Ogoun (9:08:09 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
MilesMk1 (9:08:54 PM): Nah, no but, I just keep glancing back to make sure no one does anything bad to Jeremy or Rock.
MilesMk1 (9:09:27 PM): #Ah. He seemed to be intent on heading back. Well, I don't know how long that takes.#
Thematrian1 (9:09:33 PM): Robin is definitely alive, though his bow is not in great shape
Thematrian1 (9:09:49 PM): his minions all seem to have bled copiously from the ears
Thematrian1 (9:09:56 PM): and sometimes eyes, noses, and mouths
Umbrafer (9:10:14 PM): #Seconds, I hear. Maybe something went wrong.#
Thematrian1 (9:10:17 PM): the walls of the hallway are sagging, and the ceiling and floor are dented
Thematrian1 (9:11:35 PM): as you examine Robin more closely, you get to roll perception
MilesMk1 (9:11:42 PM): #Hmm... This place appears to be structurally unsound, now.# *drags Robin out of there along with his stuff*
MilesMk1 (9:11:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 1 1 6 1
MilesMk1 (9:11:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:11:59 PM): Man... Me and perception tonight.
Dragcrell (9:12:06 PM): (ahhh you busted Robin's bow sham sham)
Thematrian1 (9:13:31 PM): A pair of glowing beings descend through the ceiling on either side of you. One is an animate heap of garbage maybe four feet high, the other a laughing, dark-skinned man holding a knife
MilesMk1 (9:13:44 PM): Aw, fuck.
MilesMk1 (9:13:54 PM): Initiative, or am I surprised?
Thematrian1 (9:13:59 PM): Reaction
Thematrian1 (9:14:05 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 6 3 3 6 2 1 2 6 2 3 5 6 4 3
MilesMk1 (9:14:07 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 1 6 5 2 5 6 6
MilesMk1 (9:14:13 PM): Whew.
Thematrian1 (9:14:19 PM): no, you are not surprised
MilesMk1 (9:14:40 PM): I run for the body of Mr. Chain and get his sharpened piece of rebar, which is nicely staff-like.
Thematrian1 (9:14:40 PM): Neither are they, we go straight to initiative
MilesMk1 (9:14:53 PM): ...if they don't win init and kill me first.
MilesMk1 (9:14:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 1
MilesMk1 (9:15:02 PM): 20
Thematrian1 (9:15:17 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 3 1 1 6 6 2 6 2 1 1 5 5 1 2
Thematrian1 (9:15:28 PM): you have the first action
MilesMk1 (9:15:57 PM): ...and I run for the rebar.
MilesMk1 (9:16:07 PM): Can I get to it and pick it up?
Thematrian1 (9:16:28 PM): easily within reach; you dodge past the garbage heap, and scoop the rebar off the ork's cooling body
MilesMk1 (9:16:52 PM): #Great. They have spirits, and they're trying to kill me.#
Thematrian1 (9:17:09 PM): both spirits rush after you; the ambulatory garbage has a head start, but the guy with the knife still gets there first
Umbrafer (9:17:16 PM): *Checks for spirits trying to kill her*
MilesMk1 (9:17:22 PM): I'm increasing their TN.
Thematrian1 (9:17:25 PM): ok
MilesMk1 (9:17:38 PM): His, rather.
Thematrian1 (9:17:45 PM): grinning, he cuts for your face
Thematrian1 (9:17:49 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 4 6 5 5 5 6 5 6 1 2 4 6 1 5
MilesMk1 (9:17:54 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 4 3 1 3 5 1 2
MilesMk1 (9:17:59 PM): Damn it.
Thematrian1 (9:18:04 PM): karma?
MilesMk1 (9:18:12 PM): Mhmm... Sure.
MilesMk1 (9:18:20 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 1 4 3 5
Gedeon Ogoun (9:18:25 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (9:18:32 PM): (It's the "You want fries with that?" of the shadowrun world)
Dragcrell (9:18:48 PM): (lol)
Umbrafer (9:18:50 PM): "You want karma pool with that?"
Thematrian1 (9:18:52 PM): I count six successes, Blake?
MilesMk1 (9:18:57 PM): Yeah.
MilesMk1 (9:19:05 PM): Pity that won't do anything to him, just yet...
MilesMk1 (9:19:10 PM): Even if he didn't beat me.
Thematrian1 (9:20:00 PM): sadly, he rolled very well. You haven't quite adjusted to the rebar yet; resist 5M
MilesMk1 (9:20:07 PM): Bah.
MilesMk1 (9:20:13 PM): I need anything but 1s.
MilesMk1 (9:20:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 4 5 1 4 3 2 1 6
Thematrian1 (9:20:45 PM): astral knives are still just knives, your armor does what it's supposed to
Thematrian1 (9:21:29 PM): the garbage heap, pounding up behind, flows over the laughing man's head and tries to pound you with messy fists
MilesMk1 (9:21:42 PM): Aw, man...
MilesMk1 (9:22:02 PM): Same shtick for me, increasing their TNs the whole time.
MilesMk1 (9:22:13 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 4 3 5 1
MilesMk1 (9:22:21 PM): That's 3 successes for me.
Thematrian1 (9:22:34 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 6 4 4 5 5 2 2 3 5 4 6 1 5 2
Thematrian1 (9:23:12 PM): it flows around the rebar. Resist 4M
MilesMk1 (9:23:21 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 6 5 1 1 3 4 2 3
Thematrian1 (9:23:25 PM): no problem
MilesMk1 (9:23:39 PM): Ok, I just need to remember not to get overconfident... My go?
Thematrian1 (9:23:42 PM): a man dressed in white materializes behind the trash heap
Thematrian1 (9:23:57 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 5 1 1 2 6 1 6 5 5 3 4 3 4 5
MilesMk1 (9:23:58 PM): *rolls his eyes and mouths the word "fuck"*
Thematrian1 (9:24:05 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 3 2 5 4 1 6 6 6 5 6 1 1 3 3
Thematrian1 (9:24:42 PM): he plunges one hand deep inside the trash heap, and pulls out something large and dripping. The trash heap shrieks, a sound of metal on metal
Thematrian1 (9:24:50 PM): somehow, the man in white remained totally unstained
Thematrian1 (9:24:52 PM): your go
Umbrafer (9:24:52 PM): (Praise be.)
MilesMk1 (9:25:39 PM): #Know anything about a man in spotless white who just popped in to hit one of the spirits trying to kill me?#
MilesMk1 (9:25:55 PM): I make a willpower attack on the laughing man. Still raising his TN.
Thematrian1 (9:25:59 PM): ok
MilesMk1 (9:26:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 1 1 3 6 4 5 5
Dragcrell (9:26:04 PM): (lol its Mr. Clean :P)
MilesMk1 (9:26:19 PM): 5 successes, he needs 6's. ;)
Thematrian1 (9:26:24 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 5 6 5 3 5 5 3 2 1 6 2 1 4
Thematrian1 (9:26:30 PM): aaand no
Thematrian1 (9:26:38 PM): you hit him
Thematrian1 (9:26:41 PM): code?
MilesMk1 (9:26:53 PM): Heh. Heh. 4M, staged up by the 5 successes, to... 4D? 4D?
Thematrian1 (9:26:58 PM): 4D
MilesMk1 (9:26:59 PM): 5D, I mean?
Thematrian1 (9:27:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 3 6 2 4 1 1 1 5 2 2 2 1 5 1
Thematrian1 (9:27:40 PM): He avoids getting an eye poked out; you bop him on the head instead. He looks dizzied but keeps fighting
MilesMk1 (9:28:03 PM): Well, that concluded my actions for the round, sadly...
MilesMk1 (9:28:44 PM): Oh, one thing... *to man in white* "Hello. Do I know you?"
Thematrian1 (9:30:55 PM): MIW: "No"
Thematrian1 (9:31:15 PM): MIW: "But you know my master"
MilesMk1 (9:31:30 PM): *hopefully* "Gedeon?"
Thematrian1 (9:32:19 PM): The trashy beast expands itself suddenly, swarming all around you
Thematrian1 (9:32:21 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 1 4 6 2 1 6 3 4 1 3 4 6 4 5
MilesMk1 (9:32:44 PM): Uh... Yay. What do I roll?
Umbrafer (9:32:51 PM): Bah, engulf.
Umbrafer (9:32:58 PM): A stupendously unpleasant engulf.
Thematrian1 (9:33:05 PM): Worst Engulf Ever
Thematrian1 (9:33:08 PM): on your end
Umbrafer (9:33:13 PM): Not ever.
Thematrian1 (9:33:14 PM): it's like a standard melee encounter
Umbrafer (9:33:18 PM): Toxic spirit raised from the seweers.
Umbrafer (9:33:20 PM): *-e
Thematrian1 (9:33:22 PM): eew
Thematrian1 (9:33:25 PM): ok, that'd be worse
Dragcrell (9:33:47 PM): (lol ya much much worse ^_^)
MilesMk1 (9:33:59 PM): Worst ever for me because of what he's made of, or because of his rolls?
Thematrian1 (9:34:02 PM): so just roll melee, plus combat pool if you wish
Thematrian1 (9:34:07 PM): The first one
MilesMk1 (9:34:17 PM): So, do I roll unarmed, or polearms? Which one applied?
Thematrian1 (9:34:22 PM): Polearms
MilesMk1 (9:35:03 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 2 5 2 1 2 6 4
MilesMk1 (9:35:11 PM): Oh well.
Thematrian1 (9:36:45 PM): Blake: you are utterly surrounded by rancid smells and filthy garbage. Plastic cola cans and rotted food, chiefly, but something in the small of your back wriggles
MilesMk1 (9:37:01 PM): Yay.
MilesMk1 (9:37:10 PM): What happens now?
Thematrian1 (9:37:18 PM): Resist 5S; impact armor does apply
Thematrian1 (9:37:24 PM): some stuff happens
Dragcrell (9:37:52 PM): (mmmm suffercation comes to mind :P)
MilesMk1 (9:38:27 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 1 1 6 2 1 6 5 5
MilesMk1 (9:38:36 PM): Soaked. Just barely.
Thematrian1 (9:38:57 PM): ok then, no worries for now
MilesMk1 (9:38:58 PM): Man, my luck just sucks tonight.
Thematrian1 (9:39:11 PM): Blake agrees, I'm sure
MilesMk1 (9:39:17 PM): I guess next round, it's a contest of my strenght vs. his power, right?
Thematrian1 (9:39:23 PM): yep
Thematrian1 (9:39:53 PM): new initiative, anyway
MilesMk1 (9:40:00 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 4 5

Thematrian1 (9:43:22 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 1 1 4 4 5 4 5
MilesMk1 (9:43:27 PM): (I can't make a willpower attack at this thing from the inside, right?)
Umbrafer (9:43:40 PM): (I don't see why not, the GM might)
Umbrafer (9:44:02 PM): (The rules for the attack itself doesn't specify, I'll check the Engulf power)
Thematrian1 (9:44:10 PM): (No, you cannot, you can only try to escape)
MilesMk1 (9:44:17 PM): (Ok.)
MilesMk1 (9:44:33 PM): (Hopefully, the man in white will hit this thing again and do something bad to it.)
Umbrafer (9:44:46 PM): (Wait, no, you can't)
Umbrafer (9:44:56 PM): (Ah, already called. Good one)
MilesMk1 (9:45:05 PM): #These people are starting to make me very angry, though.#
MilesMk1 (9:46:17 PM): #In a way that makes me wish thermite wasn't in such short supply.#

Thematrian1 (9:48:11 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 1 5 5 4 3 3 2 1 4 6 2 4 4 2

Thematrian1 (9:48:37 PM): in some spots, at least
MilesMk1 (9:49:05 PM): (I could Karma, but the damn thing can't really hurt me too badly - I think - and I don't think I should waste it.)
Umbrafer (9:49:13 PM): (You can't die from this. It would be too embarrassing.)
Thematrian1 (9:49:14 PM): yeah. Resist 6S
MilesMk1 (9:49:23 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 4 2 5 5 6 5 6 3
MilesMk1 (9:49:25 PM): Soaked.
Thematrian1 (9:49:38 PM): check
MilesMk1 (9:49:40 PM): Aw, shit... This will go up by 1 power each round, won't it?
Thematrian1 (9:49:44 PM): sure will
MilesMk1 (9:50:17 PM): Well, I'm fine for the rest of this round and the next.
Gedeon Ogoun (9:50:50 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 2 3 4 5 6 4 1
Thematrian1 (9:50:57 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 4 4 1 4 1 5 1 2 4 3 1 1 1 3
Gedeon Ogoun (9:51:03 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 3 6 5 5 1 6 1
Thematrian1 (9:51:45 PM): suddenly, the garbage dissolves from around you
MilesMk1 (9:52:05 PM): *spits, looks around for something to hurt*
Thematrian1 (9:52:05 PM): Gedeon is standing a few feet down the hallway, focusing on the space where all the trash isn't
Gedeon Ogoun (9:52:15 PM): *grins*
MilesMk1 (9:52:20 PM): Gedeon, or his translucent form?
Thematrian1 (9:52:28 PM): ah
Thematrian1 (9:52:31 PM): Translucent!Gedeon
MilesMk1 (9:52:51 PM): "Got them both? Don't suppose you know where the mage who sent them is?"
Gedeon Ogoun (9:52:52 PM): "Now just tell me where I can find my body...and I'll be happy!"
Gedeon Ogoun (9:53:00 PM): "Nope:"
Gedeon Ogoun (9:53:59 PM): "I think we should get out of here pronto. THere are thousands of spirits in the skies outside. I have to get back to my body."
MilesMk1 (9:54:17 PM): "Alex is 1.5km away in <that> direction... Let me get you the street." #Alex, can you tell me what the street signs say? Gedeon's here and wants directions back to his body.#
MilesMk1 (9:54:22 PM): "And thanks."
Umbrafer (9:54:47 PM): #You sure he can read the signs like that? *relays anyway, as well as some landmarks*#
Gedeon Ogoun (9:54:50 PM): "No, thank you..." *still grinning widely*
MilesMk1 (9:54:52 PM): "I'm all for getting out, but I'd rather not go without finding out what happened to Trickster... And the snipers make it impossible to leave right now anyway."
MilesMk1 (9:55:18 PM): *passes on the info on Alex's location*
Gedeon Ogoun (9:55:46 PM): "There are more than one sniper?"
MilesMk1 (9:56:03 PM): "Alex seemed to think so."
MilesMk1 (9:56:26 PM): "She figured two, from the way the shots came."
Gedeon Ogoun (9:56:49 PM): "Well, I can check on where I left one of them. I'll look for the other one, too."
MilesMk1 (9:57:09 PM): "Thanks. If you find them, let Alex know."
Umbrafer (9:57:34 PM): (I want to double-check something:)
Umbrafer (9:57:42 PM): (Did I hear two shots? Or rather, one?)
Gedeon Ogoun (9:57:47 PM): *nods* "I will leave the loa with you for protection...he can also relay a message to me in an emergency."
Thematrian1 (9:57:55 PM): (You heard two shots, yes)
Umbrafer (9:58:02 PM): (*Nods*)
Thematrian1 (9:58:04 PM): The man in white bows to Gedeon
MilesMk1 (9:58:16 PM): "Can you tell him to protect the doctor? I might need to move a bit from this spot."
Umbrafer (9:58:39 PM): (I realize that's a very Blake thing to say, but you need the protection more)
Gedeon Ogoun (9:58:41 PM): *nods* "Loa of Obatallah, protect this doctor with your full ability."
Umbrafer (9:58:49 PM): (He's gold to them, you're just a threat)
Thematrian1 (9:59:06 PM): It bows again, and stands over Jeremy's body
MilesMk1 (9:59:20 PM): "I assume he'll help me out to, if it doesn't endanger the doc, and we're all attacked?"
Gedeon Ogoun (9:59:45 PM): *shrugs* "He will do his best."
MilesMk1 (9:59:55 PM): "Fair enough."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:01:32 PM): *mists*
MilesMk1 (10:01:32 PM): Ok... I'm going to do this: 1. Place Rock and the doctor somewhere out of the way, like an exam room - then stimpatch the doc, 2. Make sure Robin is tied up and stuffed in a closet and 3. Explore the area for more enemies, staying
MilesMk1 (10:01:35 PM): away from windows.
Gedeon Ogoun (10:01:39 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 3 3 4 2 2 5 2
MilesMk1 (10:01:50 PM): Or rather, out of the LOS of any snipers in the buildings around us.
Umbrafer (10:02:01 PM): Incidentally:
Umbrafer (10:02:11 PM): If you can't take Robin with you for any reason, kill him.
MilesMk1 (10:02:21 PM): Well, duh. ;)
Umbrafer (10:02:27 PM): Have you made sure to clear the hall of survivors?
MilesMk1 (10:02:41 PM): I didn't get the chance...
Thematrian1 (10:02:50 PM): ok. You backtrack a little bit to an open exam room, and leave Rock there. When you stimpatch Jeremy, he looks puzzled, then embarassed
Thematrian1 (10:03:19 PM): Wincingly: "I never even saw him. I guess we came out ok?"
MilesMk1 (10:03:24 PM): "It's ok, combat's not your thing... Here's one more patch, in case you start to feel like you're going to pass out."
Thematrian1 (10:03:43 PM): He nods and tucks it into his shirt pocket
Gedeon Ogoun (10:03:46 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 4 2 1 1 5 6 2
MilesMk1 (10:04:09 PM): "Well... We seem to be winning. One of ours is down, hard, another is unconscious, but we took out eight of their men and Robin, as well as a couple of spirits."
Thematrian1 (10:04:22 PM): He looks thrilled. "Robin's dead?"
MilesMk1 (10:04:37 PM): "Not yet. We're going to ask him some questions first."
MilesMk1 (10:05:07 PM): "If I can afford the luxury of dragging him out of here, anyway. If not, I'll make sure he's dead before I leave."
Thematrian1 (10:05:33 PM): He nods eagerly.
Thematrian1 (10:05:38 PM): Then regrets it
MilesMk1 (10:05:55 PM): "By the way, I need to go back out to see how the way out looks. Don't suppose this place has a back entrance?"
Thematrian1 (10:06:22 PM): "There's one through the basement. Comes up in the building next door, then into an alley
MilesMk1 (10:06:32 PM): "Do they know about this?"
Thematrian1 (10:06:45 PM): "Maybe. I haven't told them about it."
Thematrian1 (10:06:53 PM): "One of my techs might have."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:07:03 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 3 1 4 4 5
Gedeon Ogoun (10:07:08 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 3 3 5 5 5 1 2 5 5
MilesMk1 (10:07:24 PM): BTW, is Jeremy acting out of character at all? I could see someone being glad Robin is/will be dead, but is there anything else to this sudden thirst for blood?
MilesMk1 (10:07:35 PM): Especially someone who was just in Jeremy's position.
Thematrian1 (10:07:54 PM): You don't think so. There's a noticable hitch in his voice when he mentions his techs.
MilesMk1 (10:08:05 PM): "Is there a lock? Keypad? Card?"
MilesMk1 (10:08:19 PM): *expression darkens* "What did they do with the techs?"
Thematrian1 (10:08:21 PM): "Biometric. Keyed to me and a few others."
Thematrian1 (10:08:30 PM): "I don't know. I heard screams."
MilesMk1 (10:08:53 PM): "Animals... Damn, I wish I had the time to scour this place."
Thematrian1 (10:09:16 PM): "There's probably nothing left to rescue."
Thematrian1 (10:09:21 PM): That clearly hurt to say.
MilesMk1 (10:09:28 PM): "All right, I'll check it out. This fellow *points to the Loa* will watch over you."
Thematrian1 (10:09:46 PM): Jeremy studies the guy, then more closely. "Magic...?"
MilesMk1 (10:10:01 PM): "I was thinking more along the line of retribution, but it's not something I can afford right now."
Thematrian1 (10:10:16 PM): "Revenge is expensive? I understand."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:10:18 PM): (back in the van) Alex: "There was one sniper I found at the building *x* but he's been convinced to stay out of the fight. I don't know about another..the rooftops are clear at this time."
MilesMk1 (10:10:20 PM): "Spirit. He's been told to watch over you by his master."
Thematrian1 (10:11:15 PM): Jeremy nods
MilesMk1 (10:11:21 PM): "Well... It's not the best time for it, with you hurt, another guy bleeding in an alley somewhere, and a mage and a couple of snipers on the loose."
Thematrian1 (10:11:38 PM): He nods, very carefully this time.
MilesMk1 (10:11:46 PM): Hey... Did Robin have a radio?
Thematrian1 (10:12:10 PM): Not that you saw. Want to go back and look?
MilesMk1 (10:12:15 PM): Or any of the other thugs? If they did, I set it to the right channel and give it to the doc.
Thematrian1 (10:12:27 PM): None of the thugs did, that you saw.
MilesMk1 (10:12:39 PM): If not, I secure Robin, toss his pockets quickly, and then scout towards the exit.
Thematrian1 (10:12:53 PM): You head back into the hallway. The bodies are all there, except Robin's
Umbrafer (10:12:55 PM): "Convinced?"
MilesMk1 (10:13:07 PM): *curses*
MilesMk1 (10:13:16 PM): Is there a blood trail?
Thematrian1 (10:13:24 PM): yes
MilesMk1 (10:13:42 PM): Assuming how much was on the floor... Ok, I follow, as sneakily as I can manage.
Thematrian1 (10:14:18 PM): roll for sneakiness
MilesMk1 (10:14:38 PM): #Fuck. Either Robin came awake, or someone dragged him off. I need an extra pair of hands... Damn Trickster for getting himself killed. *more remoreseful than actually angry*#
MilesMk1 (10:14:50 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 2 6 5
MilesMk1 (10:14:53 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 2
MilesMk1 (10:15:00 PM): Meh. Not bad, for Blake.
Umbrafer (10:16:12 PM): #I can try to move in, but if there's a loose sniper…#
MilesMk1 (10:16:33 PM): #Yeah, we'd be really screwed if the van went down.#
MilesMk1 (10:16:48 PM): #Try to hunt the bastard down...?#
Gedeon Ogoun (10:16:59 PM): #We're not really screwed now?#
MilesMk1 (10:17:03 PM): #Don't mind me, I'm just bitching.#
Thematrian1 (10:17:04 PM): You follow the blood splatters down the hallway. They lead into the main antechamber that you first entered
MilesMk1 (10:17:37 PM): #Well... Most of us are alive... By the way, did you see what happened to Trickster?#
Umbrafer (10:17:49 PM): #If the van goes down, we're walking the [distance] back to the shop.#
Thematrian1 (10:18:00 PM): The door is open, and inside you can hear people muttering to one another
Gedeon Ogoun (10:18:00 PM): #Me? No....I could go look quickly, if necessary.#
MilesMk1 (10:18:41 PM): *takes out a can of Aztecola, takes up position by the doorway, and throws it inside like it's a grenade, watching for reaction from anyone in there*
Thematrian1 (10:19:01 PM): (I have to know...when you took the Aztecola with you, did you plan that usage?)
Thematrian1 (10:19:04 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 3 4 1 2 5 4 2 6 6 6 6 5 4 4
Thematrian1 (10:19:28 PM): All talk stops. There's some gunfire, its object unclear. A female voice is swearing in a low, even tone
MilesMk1 (10:19:32 PM): (I planned to use it that way, yes, and also if someone asked me to show what the cylindrical objects in the bag were.)
Umbrafer (10:20:03 PM): #I've got a drone overhead, call if you need backup.#
MilesMk1 (10:20:05 PM): Basically, when I hear the ginfire, I pop my head and gun around the corner and shoot some convenient target.
MilesMk1 (10:20:38 PM): I just wanted to distract them from shooting me when I appeared.
Thematrian1 (10:21:15 PM): ok. You peek your head around the door; I'm not going to bother with all the relevant reaction tests. There are five guys/girls (it's hard to tell) with variously-sized guns watching the grenade and firing at nothing in particular
MilesMk1 (10:21:27 PM): Surprise?
Thematrian1 (10:21:31 PM): oh yes
MilesMk1 (10:21:55 PM): Ok... Two people with the biggest guns get a bullet each.
Thematrian1 (10:22:10 PM): ok, roll it
MilesMk1 (10:22:19 PM): (My CP refreshes after the surprise round, yes?)
Thematrian1 (10:22:21 PM): is the Van Contingent doing anything special?
Thematrian1 (10:22:22 PM): (Yes)
MilesMk1 (10:22:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 3 5 1 3 2 5 4
MilesMk1 (10:22:29 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 5 3 1 5 2 6 2
MilesMk1 (10:22:37 PM): That's 11M for both.
Thematrian1 (10:22:50 PM): plus rather a lot of staging
MilesMk1 (10:22:58 PM): Well, yes.
Thematrian1 (10:23:11 PM): they both get shot in the throat. The ones left over dive behind the piles of tires
MilesMk1 (10:23:23 PM): I try to shoot them first. Init?
Thematrian1 (10:23:30 PM): init
MilesMk1 (10:23:35 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 3
MilesMk1 (10:23:40 PM): Grr... 19
Thematrian1 (10:23:45 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 4 4 4 4 1 4 6 6 5 2 1 3 6 4
Thematrian1 (10:23:57 PM): various things that are smaller than 19. Your aciton
MilesMk1 (10:24:11 PM): One round each into two more.
MilesMk1 (10:24:24 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 1 1 4 1 3 3 3
MilesMk1 (10:24:28 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 3 5 5 6 5 3 3
MilesMk1 (10:24:58 PM): With a preference for people without partial cover, please. :-D
Thematrian1 (10:25:15 PM): Heh. No such animal, after the surprise round
Thematrian1 (10:25:25 PM): They do get to act, they just can't shoot people with better init
MilesMk1 (10:25:36 PM): Oh well. Fortunately, I have partial cover too.
Thematrian1 (10:25:40 PM): you sure do
Thematrian1 (10:25:42 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 1 1 1
Thematrian1 (10:25:48 PM): gah
Thematrian1 (10:25:50 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 1 4 2 2 5 5 2 1 1 5 4 4 3 2
MilesMk1 (10:25:59 PM): I liked that first roll.
Thematrian1 (10:26:07 PM): yeah, but it had the wrong number of dice
Thematrian1 (10:26:29 PM): your target almost manages to dodge. As it is, you clip him in the shoulder. It doesn't look like fun, but he's still in the fight
Thematrian1 (10:27:26 PM): your opponents return fire:
Thematrian1 (10:27:28 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 3 5 2 4 2 3 4 2 2 5 6 3
Thematrian1 (10:27:31 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 4 2 2 4 3 6 2 6 3 3 3 4 1 2
Thematrian1 (10:28:06 PM): only one three-round burst comes anywhere near you. Attempting to dodge?
MilesMk1 (10:28:26 PM): Mhmm... Yes.
MilesMk1 (10:28:34 PM): No point in tempting fate.
MilesMk1 (10:28:40 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 3 2
MilesMk1 (10:28:42 PM): Oh well.
Thematrian1 (10:28:53 PM): the crappy dodging luck cuts both ways this evening, I see
Thematrian1 (10:29:05 PM): Resist 10M
Thematrian1 (10:29:12 PM): ballistic, natch
MilesMk1 (10:29:12 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 6 5 5 3 5 3
MilesMk1 (10:29:26 PM): Resisted.
Thematrian1 (10:29:26 PM): a bullet deforms itself against your armor
Thematrian1 (10:29:29 PM): ow, you guess
MilesMk1 (10:29:47 PM): And now, I get to do bad things to them.
Thematrian1 (10:29:54 PM): yep
MilesMk1 (10:30:09 PM): First shot into one of the uninjured ones.
MilesMk1 (10:30:13 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 2 6 2 4 2 6
MilesMk1 (10:30:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 2
Thematrian1 (10:30:25 PM): (you have 4 sixes)
MilesMk1 (10:30:31 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (10:30:35 PM): (Thanks.)
MilesMk1 (10:30:52 PM): Second shot, into the hurt one.
MilesMk1 (10:30:55 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 5 3 6 3 1
MilesMk1 (10:30:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:31:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (10:31:13 PM): You hit the hurt one again, you think in the same place as last time
MilesMk1 (10:31:24 PM): Hah. And the first shot?
Thematrian1 (10:31:39 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 4 4 6 4 5 6
Thematrian1 (10:31:43 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 6
Thematrian1 (10:32:03 PM): You manage to shoot through a tiny opening in the barrier of tires to shoot him in the head. He was wearing a helmet, so this isn't fatal,but you hear his gun hit the floor
MilesMk1 (10:32:33 PM): [Mr.Burns]Eeeexcellent[/Mr.Burns]
Dragcrell (10:32:40 PM): (ouch that would hurt all the same whip-lash)
Thematrian1 (10:32:52 PM): Then, one of them lobs something small and spherical into the opening in front of your strategic doorway
MilesMk1 (10:32:53 PM): Helmet? Wow, gonna have to look into that.
Thematrian1 (10:33:05 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 5 6 4 1 1 1 6 3 1 3 4 1
MilesMk1 (10:33:08 PM): Damn. I was so sure they'd have no more actions...
MilesMk1 (10:33:12 PM): Fool me.
Thematrian1 (10:33:48 PM): You don't think they did
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (10:34:00 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 4
Thematrian1 (10:34:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 8-sided dice: 6 6
MilesMk1 (10:34:34 PM): Damn... Well, lets hope it scatteres somewhere it can't get me... Much.
MilesMk1 (10:34:39 PM): scatters
MilesMk1 (10:34:56 PM): (You'll appreciate the irony, I think I just got nailed with a grenade.)
Thematrian1 (10:36:23 PM): it bounces toward you, but also on the wrong side of the doorjam, so the effect cancels, more or less
Thematrian1 (10:36:49 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 5 1 6 5 6 3 6 2 6 6 1 3
MilesMk1 (10:36:55 PM): Oww...
Thematrian1 (10:37:28 PM): resist 10D
MilesMk1 (10:37:41 PM): Ahh.... Ok.
MilesMk1 (10:37:44 PM): Need 5's.
MilesMk1 (10:37:48 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 6 5 4 3 2 1 5 4
MilesMk1 (10:37:53 PM): Karma.
Thematrian1 (10:37:55 PM): ok
Thematrian1 (10:38:03 PM): I see six failures
Dragcrell (10:38:11 PM): (oooo that is messy)
MilesMk1 (10:38:21 PM): Oops... That should have been 10 dice.
MilesMk1 (10:38:24 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (10:38:29 PM): seven failures
MilesMk1 (10:38:30 PM): Not that it mattered.
MilesMk1 (10:38:33 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 3 6 2 2 5 5
MilesMk1 (10:38:43 PM): YES!
MilesMk1 (10:38:49 PM): I stage to light!
Thematrian1 (10:38:50 PM): six successes, stages to L
Thematrian1 (10:39:06 PM): the shrapnel cuts your chest a bit, but you've certainly had worse
MilesMk1 (10:39:13 PM): I hope some of the bastards inside the room feel the consequences of their shitty throwing...
MilesMk1 (10:39:36 PM): #*pained*They have grenades, apparently.#
Gedeon Ogoun (10:39:43 PM): I think the throw was fine...you're just a tough little bastard..:>
Thematrian1 (10:39:48 PM): (Sadly, they've got tires and several meters between them)
MilesMk1 (10:39:52 PM): True.
MilesMk1 (10:40:23 PM): Well, next round, I'm not spending my CP as wastefully as I did this time. And moving using my last action if they're not all dead. :)
Thematrian1 (10:40:44 PM): check and check. New initiatives all around
Thematrian1 (10:40:48 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 6 2 5 5 4 3 3 6 5 2 2 6
MilesMk1 (10:40:54 PM): (You know, if I was in full kit, this would have been a serious inconvenience at best...)
MilesMk1 (10:40:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 1
MilesMk1 (10:41:03 PM): 17
MilesMk1 (10:41:24 PM): Damn, I think those were two worst Init scores I had, ever.
Thematrian1 (10:41:35 PM): There are worse times to have had them
MilesMk1 (10:41:41 PM): True.
Thematrian1 (10:41:46 PM): you still act first
MilesMk1 (10:42:17 PM): So, we have one very badly wounded, one moderately wounded (using the word colloquially) and one fucker who threw a grenade, correct?
Thematrian1 (10:42:30 PM): well summarized
Umbrafer (10:42:32 PM): I'm going to set the van to close to 300 meters in the worst-LOS direction I can find and drop the Strato downwards. How's Ed doing?
MilesMk1 (10:42:44 PM): #But I'm more or less ok.#
MilesMk1 (10:42:58 PM): The grenade fan gets my full attention.
Thematrian1 (10:42:59 PM): Ok. That'll take about sixty seconds
Umbrafer (10:43:02 PM): #Backup incoming.#
MilesMk1 (10:43:03 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 6 4 1 2 5

Thematrian1 (10:43:31 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 5 4 6 5 3 4 3 2 1 3 2 3 3 1
Thematrian1 (10:43:49 PM): grenade fan threw himself flat behind the barricade, and managed to dodge both shots
MilesMk1 (10:43:54 PM): Shit.
Thematrian1 (10:44:41 PM): The other two start shooting the door nearest them
Thematrian1 (10:44:44 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 1 1 5 1 4 3 6 2 6 6 3 2
Thematrian1 (10:44:54 PM): the handle breaks off, and it swings outward a bit
Thematrian1 (10:45:05 PM): your action again; grenade fan didn't act, or is lying in wait, or something
MilesMk1 (10:46:00 PM): I'll shoot the two - one bullet each - then take a step back into complete cover.
MilesMk1 (10:46:04 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 4 6 2
MilesMk1 (10:46:08 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3

Thematrian1 (10:46:15 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 3 1 6 4 5 6 1 1 6 3 1 6
Thematrian1 (10:46:32 PM): You shoot some tires, and the repeatedly moderately wounded guy
MilesMk1 (10:46:37 PM): Heh.
MilesMk1 (10:46:56 PM): Nickel and dime...
Umbrafer (10:47:08 PM): EMW: the Eternal M-Wound
Thematrian1 (10:47:22 PM): this time you shoot him right under the armpit, which apparently does something bad to his internal organs because he collapses
MilesMk1 (10:47:55 PM): I feel good about that.
Thematrian1 (10:48:01 PM): He does not.
Thematrian1 (10:48:09 PM): Grenade fan doesn't throw anything
Umbrafer (10:48:23 PM): I think his continual non-throwing worries me more
Thematrian1 (10:48:25 PM): or do anything at all, that you see. New initiative
Umbrafer (10:48:38 PM): If he was putting out a grenade per turn I'd feel better. Maybe he's the mage.
MilesMk1 (10:49:56 PM): Readying an action? Or maybe just doing something sub-optimal for once. ;)
MilesMk1 (10:49:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 1
MilesMk1 (10:50:07 PM): Oh, for...
MilesMk1 (10:50:11 PM): 15.
Thematrian1 (10:50:13 PM): Blake acts first
MilesMk1 (10:50:14 PM): 15!
Umbrafer (10:50:22 PM): *Comforts*
Thematrian1 (10:50:45 PM): Back in the van, Edward Ng speaks up: "How are we doing?"
MilesMk1 (10:50:50 PM): I peek into the room - but I bend down a bit, so that my head doesn't appear in the same spot as last time.
Thematrian1 (10:51:31 PM): The guy you shot in the forehead is in the shot-up doorway, part-way through running down the hall. Grenade fan is behind the tire barrier
Gedeon Ogoun (10:51:46 PM): "We're getting closer, Ed. If you want, you can come with me. I'm going in on foot once we get as close as possible."
MilesMk1 (10:51:52 PM): Visible, or doe he have total cover?
Umbrafer (10:51:53 PM): "Better than we were, I think."
Umbrafer (10:51:57 PM): "Eh…"
Umbrafer (10:52:01 PM): "They've got spirits."
MilesMk1 (10:52:02 PM): does he
Umbrafer (10:52:08 PM): "I'd really appreciate if at least one of you stuck around."
Thematrian1 (10:52:13 PM): He has total cover, and no real way to throw things at you.
Gedeon Ogoun (10:53:02 PM): "Their spirits are weak and not too worrisome."
MilesMk1 (10:53:28 PM): Would it be doable for me to charge him using the sharpened rebar?
Thematrian1 (10:53:35 PM): Edward: "I'm not a mage, but I've fought spirits before."
Thematrian1 (10:53:50 PM): What's your movement per turn? 18?
MilesMk1 (10:53:59 PM): Alas, 12.
Thematrian1 (10:54:02 PM): ah
MilesMk1 (10:54:07 PM): Dwarf, and all that.
Thematrian1 (10:54:36 PM): it'd take a full action to cross the distance, even running. Then on your second action you could rebar him.
MilesMk1 (10:54:42 PM): But I will have a Quickness of 9 one day, if I survive this, mark my words.
Thematrian1 (10:54:48 PM): haha
MilesMk1 (10:55:10 PM): Ok... I move in. This shit needs to end.
MilesMk1 (10:55:30 PM): Here's hoping there's not someone laying in cunning ambush.
Thematrian1 (10:55:43 PM): The guy you shot in the forehead sees you coming, and fires over his shoulder as he flees. The results are not terribly accurate, but he could get lucky:
Thematrian1 (10:55:46 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 3 1 3 3 1 2 6 5 4 5 6 2 1
Thematrian1 (10:55:50 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 6 1 3 2 6 2 6 6 2 6 4 2 5 6
Thematrian1 (10:55:54 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 3 3 2 1 1
Thematrian1 (10:56:14 PM): nope. He tears up the clinic's nice walls
MilesMk1 (10:56:20 PM): Whew.
Umbrafer (10:56:21 PM): "It doesn't matter how weak they are when I'm not in my body.(If they leave the building, they're mine.)
Umbrafer (10:56:27 PM): Whoops
Umbrafer (10:56:32 PM): Forgot what I was doing halfway
Umbrafer (10:56:35 PM): <--asleep
Thematrian1 (10:56:40 PM): (His TN was 15)
MilesMk1 (10:56:47 PM): (Good times.)
MilesMk1 (10:57:08 PM): (Now if I can just survive the bastard behind the barricade...)
Thematrian1 (10:57:18 PM): Grenade fan is not lying in ambush, he's digging frantically through a tattered backpack
Umbrafer (10:57:27 PM): :)
Thematrian1 (10:57:28 PM): the ground around him is littered with Stuffer Shack food, mostly unopened
Umbrafer (10:57:30 PM): Thought as much.
MilesMk1 (10:57:51 PM): Does me being up and him on the ground count as superior position?
Thematrian1 (10:58:06 PM): Hm. Yeah, I'll allow that
MilesMk1 (10:58:26 PM): Ok... In that case, his TN is 6. Assuming I get to go and no one shoots me.
MilesMk1 (10:58:32 PM): Or engulfs me.
Thematrian1 (10:58:35 PM): nope
MilesMk1 (10:58:38 PM): Or throws a grenade at me.
Thematrian1 (10:58:39 PM): just pure rebarage
MilesMk1 (10:58:48 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 1 2 3 4 3 6 1
MilesMk1 (10:59:00 PM): Well... Three successes.
Thematrian1 (10:59:10 PM): 5. Superior position
Thematrian1 (10:59:12 PM): er
Thematrian1 (10:59:14 PM): nevermind
Thematrian1 (10:59:16 PM): wounds
MilesMk1 (10:59:16 PM): Wounded. :(
Thematrian1 (10:59:23 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 1 2 6 1 2 1 1 4 4 4 4 3 6 4
Thematrian1 (10:59:30 PM): he gets fewer than that
Thematrian1 (10:59:34 PM): You step on some jerky as you step in and stab him with rebar.
Thematrian1 (10:59:38 PM): well, smack him
Thematrian1 (10:59:43 PM): I guess you weren't using it as a spear
MilesMk1 (10:59:57 PM): I was using it as a Polearm. ;)
Thematrian1 (11:00:06 PM): (You don't have Staff specialization?)
Thematrian1 (11:00:18 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 2 4 1 5 1 2 1 4 5 3 3 5 2 3
Umbrafer (11:00:19 PM): Stab him! Stab him!
MilesMk1 (11:00:33 PM): (I do, but it's in Extendable Staff.)
Umbrafer (11:00:42 PM): We reenact a scene from Lord of the Flies, only with adults and in Chicago.
Thematrian1 (11:00:47 PM): (Ah. Yeah, that's different. Stabbing or smacking?)
MilesMk1 (11:00:56 PM): (I assumed it's a separate skill, though it's stupid, but if you say different...)
Umbrafer (11:01:17 PM): (Spear gets crazy Power bonuses. It's like (STR+4)L or something)
MilesMk1 (11:01:19 PM): Smacking.
MilesMk1 (11:01:28 PM): So it's, IIRC, 8M.
Thematrian1 (11:01:30 PM): (Hm. I'll say different for now, but then contemplate and return a real ruling later)
Dragcrell (11:01:49 PM): (awwww should make with the staby staby
Thematrian1 (11:01:53 PM): He blocks your smack with his left wrist, unfortunately for his left wrist
MilesMk1 (11:02:21 PM): Init?
Thematrian1 (11:02:29 PM): He throws his other hand in the air and says "Uncle!"
MilesMk1 (11:02:42 PM): He actually says "Uncle?"
Umbrafer (11:02:46 PM): (I would argue that an extendable staff is at least as different from a staff as a Manhunter is from a Predator. Among other things, the balance is probably different)
Thematrian1 (11:02:46 PM): yes
MilesMk1 (11:02:50 PM): With a straight face?
Thematrian1 (11:02:55 PM): Well
Thematrian1 (11:02:58 PM): with a rictus of pain
Thematrian1 (11:02:59 PM): but yes
Umbrafer (11:03:01 PM): (Ok, he wins cool points for that one)
Dragcrell (11:03:10 PM): (ROFL)
MilesMk1 (11:03:16 PM): Ok...
MilesMk1 (11:03:52 PM): Well, I'm sick of flailing blindly... So I'll guess I'll just drag him upright with the pointy end of the rebar to his neck, instead of killing him.
MilesMk1 (11:03:58 PM): I guess.
Thematrian1 (11:04:18 PM): He stands, shakily.
Thematrian1 (11:04:27 PM): His eyes keep darting to that backpack of his
Thematrian1 (11:04:29 PM): maybe he's hungry
Umbrafer (11:04:51 PM): (Was Robin amongst the five?)
EverGuard4 (11:04:52 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 6 5 3 2 6 1 2 5
Thematrian1 (11:04:55 PM): (No)
MilesMk1 (11:05:13 PM): "There's exactly one way for you to have chance of walking out of here alive. You tell me everything you know." *drags him away and around a corner/doorjamb*
MilesMk1 (11:05:45 PM): "You fuck with me, I'm feeling angry enough to actually - pardon the cliche - cut your balls off."
MilesMk1 (11:06:02 PM): "What's in the backpack?"
Thematrian1 (11:06:04 PM): His eyes flick to the rebar.
Thematrian1 (11:06:15 PM): He hesitates fractionally. "'nother grenade"
Thematrian1 (11:06:35 PM): "Some food"
Thematrian1 (11:06:40 PM): "I was saving it"
MilesMk1 (11:06:48 PM): "Who dragged away Robin, and where is he?"
MilesMk1 (11:07:12 PM): (BTW, if I get anything tactically useful, I forward it to Alex immediately.)
Thematrian1 (11:07:23 PM): "I saw that! His body floated up that way." He points to another of the antechamber's doors.
Thematrian1 (11:07:37 PM): "It floated."
Thematrian1 (11:07:42 PM): "Like, in the air."
MilesMk1 (11:07:54 PM): "Yeah, ok, that's great."
MilesMk1 (11:08:22 PM): "When Robin went to see his magical friend, which way did he go?"
MilesMk1 (11:08:32 PM): "Any particular staircase?"
Umbrafer (11:09:15 PM): Strato see anyone emerging from the building?
MilesMk1 (11:09:23 PM): "How many snipers did you have posted, and which buildings were they in?"
Thematrian1 (11:09:26 PM): "Y-yeah. Go through that same door."
Thematrian1 (11:09:41 PM): "Just Tommi. I don't know where Robin sent him."
MilesMk1 (11:10:12 PM): "You only had the one? I have friends outside, and if they find out different the hard way..." *shakes the rebar*
MilesMk1 (11:10:24 PM): This claim gets relayed, BTW.
Thematrian1 (11:10:25 PM): "Just him! No one else even knows how!"
Umbrafer (11:10:53 PM): #If that's true, he's damn good.#
Umbrafer (11:11:17 PM): #I knew someone could do that all by himself once.#
Umbrafer (11:11:36 PM): #Guy had about a billion in experimental 'ware in him. Had an aneurism two months after I met him.#
MilesMk1 (11:11:47 PM): "How many of you are left? Considering that you'll make the 12th I'll have killed if you lie to me."
MilesMk1 (11:12:22 PM): #Some people think 'ware means you don't need to think anymore...#
Thematrian1 (11:12:33 PM): "You killed twelve..." he chokes that thought off. His fingers twitch for a moment, then he says "Seven. Eight including me."
Thematrian1 (11:13:54 PM): Alex rolls in, if she hasn't already.
Umbrafer (11:14:15 PM): Van or Strato? Strato should have arrived well before van, most likely
Umbrafer (11:14:25 PM): Similar distance, but one travellning straight down through clear air
Thematrian1 (11:14:28 PM): yeah, the Strato has been there, and has not been fired at
MilesMk1 (11:14:57 PM): "Ok... Two things. One, you'll very carefully get that grenade out and give it to me. Two, I'm a man of my word, so you'll wake up with a headache in one of the closets if you don't try soemething stupid. Got it?"
Umbrafer (11:15:18 PM): Van's going to hold, Strato's going to hunt.
Thematrian1 (11:15:20 PM): He nods carefully
Umbrafer (11:15:25 PM): I'm jumped into Strato.
MilesMk1 (11:15:34 PM): I let him get the grenade out, covering him with a gun.
Thematrian1 (11:15:36 PM): "It's in the backpack" (which is back behind the tire barrier)
MilesMk1 (11:15:52 PM): I lead him back there, at gunpoint.
Thematrian1 (11:15:55 PM): He sloooowly searches his backpack, then sloooowly picks it up in one hand and holds it out to you
MilesMk1 (11:16:14 PM): As long as it doesn't look like it could be a boobytrap of some sort, I take it.
MilesMk1 (11:16:30 PM): Make sure the pin is in, and not loose, and so on.
Thematrian1 (11:16:44 PM): It looks like your standard offensive HE grenade to you. Manufactured by Aztechnology instead of Ares, but same idea
MilesMk1 (11:16:57 PM): Then I lead him back down the hall, hit him over the head, and stuff him in a closet.
Thematrian1 (11:17:02 PM): donk
Thematrian1 (11:17:07 PM): he slumps, and into the closet he goes
MilesMk1 (11:17:58 PM): #Guys, there's a <description of guy> with a bruise on his head in one of the closets. I gave him my word I'd leave him alive, which makes him the lucky one. Plaease leve him be.#
Umbrafer (11:18:30 PM): #I'll try.#
MilesMk1 (11:18:47 PM): After that, I *do* make sure all the people I took out so far are dead, and check in on Jeremy.
MilesMk1 (11:19:04 PM): #He's the one who got me with the grenade, so if anyone is going to...#
Thematrian1 (11:19:26 PM): Everyone else in the hallway is dead or unconscious. The unconscious ones get made dead?
Umbrafer (11:19:39 PM): Mmm, rebar through the throat.
MilesMk1 (11:19:50 PM): #By the way, if Gedeon comes this way, can you ask him to please bring my AR, its ammo pouch, and my helmet?#
Umbrafer (11:19:57 PM): *Relay*
Thematrian1 (11:20:01 PM): Gedeon is drooling again
MilesMk1 (11:20:06 PM): Yes, they do. I am unhappy with this situation.
MilesMk1 (11:20:26 PM): And I do save on ammo.
Thematrian1 (11:22:02 PM): Gedeon appears through the floor just as you're finishing with the last guy
Gedeon Ogoun (11:22:23 PM): *boo*
MilesMk1 (11:22:39 PM): (Does he really look upset / disappointed?)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:22:39 PM): *points upstairs, taps ear*
Gedeon Ogoun (11:23:27 PM): *puts finger over lips in universal gesture of 'be quiet'*
MilesMk1 (11:23:50 PM): *taps his radio with an inquisitive expression on his face*
Gedeon Ogoun (11:24:05 PM): *shakes head sadly*
Gedeon Ogoun (11:24:19 PM): *holds up one finger*
MilesMk1 (11:24:29 PM): *nods, makes an "after you" gesture*
MilesMk1 (11:24:52 PM): But I do check on Jeremy before we go anywhere.
Thematrian1 (11:24:56 PM): (Magical Charades, by far my favorite game for the middle of an infiltration)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:25:05 PM): *makes gesture with fingers to head, running through his hair*
Thematrian1 (11:25:27 PM): Jeremy is examining Rock, who is moving around again
Gedeon Ogoun (11:25:30 PM): *begins to move towards stairs*
MilesMk1 (11:26:00 PM): *nods at Jeremy, holds his finger to his lips, follows Gedeon*
EverGuard4 (11:27:04 PM): *waves* I'll be afk. Happy Turkey Day all.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:27:18 PM): *waves* you too, adam
Thematrian1 (11:27:24 PM): Gedeon and Blake head through the door, around a corner, and up the stairs. At the top is a cheap radio. It blares "Stop right there."
MilesMk1 (11:27:43 PM): You too.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:27:50 PM): *Gedeon disappears*
MilesMk1 (11:28:11 PM): ("...I gotta know right now. Do you love me? Will you...")
Thematrian1 (11:28:21 PM): (Wuh?)
MilesMk1 (11:28:24 PM): *Blake grabs some cover.*
Thematrian1 (11:28:36 PM): the stairwell is bare, but there's a corner you can duck around
MilesMk1 (11:28:38 PM): (Song. Pay it no mind.)
MilesMk1 (11:28:53 PM): I use it for partial cover, I don't want to lose sight of the door.
Thematrian1 (11:28:56 PM): ok
Umbrafer (11:29:24 PM): Strato: *hunt hunt hunt*
Thematrian1 (11:29:36 PM): The strato seeks, but does not find
MilesMk1 (11:30:26 PM): I wait for the radio to say something, or for Gedeon to cause something to happen, I guess.
MilesMk1 (11:30:50 PM): (And since I'm still using my pistol, I hold on to the rebar if I can, with my free hand.)
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:31:36 PM): (Unless Gedeon did show up with the good stuff?)
Thematrian1 (11:33:15 PM): Goddammit folks, I'm sorry. Your GM broke continuity. Gedeon leads Blake to some stairs that go down, and no cheap plastic radios are involved.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:33:47 PM): okay..
Dragcrell (11:34:07 PM): (lol ooops :-X )
Umbrafer (11:34:17 PM): Aww…
Umbrafer (11:34:23 PM): I was digging the cheap plastic radio
Dragcrell (11:34:32 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 1 4 1 2 3
Gedeon Ogoun (11:34:52 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 3 6 4 4 6 2 2
Gedeon Ogoun (11:34:57 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 2 6 5
Gedeon Ogoun (11:35:41 PM): *To the air* "Well, let's get out of here...don't worry about the stairs"
Gedeon Ogoun (11:35:47 PM): *winks*
MilesMk1 (11:36:39 PM): "About time."
Thematrian1 (11:37:14 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 6 1 3 3 4 4 3 2 4 4 4 3
MilesMk1 (11:37:16 PM): Do those stairs, by any chance, match the ones that Jeremy described as the way to the exit?
Gedeon Ogoun (11:37:19 PM): *slowly, sneakily moves towards stairs*
MilesMk1 (11:37:32 PM): *tries to do the same*
Thematrian1 (11:37:43 PM): No, they're in the wrong part of the building
Thematrian1 (11:38:00 PM): those of you who aren't astral beings and thus incapable of making noise without intending to, please roll stealth
MilesMk1 (11:38:07 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 1 5 3
MilesMk1 (11:38:14 PM): Oh, well.
MilesMk1 (11:38:27 PM): Not using my last point of Karma on that.
Thematrian1 (11:38:36 PM): understood
Thematrian1 (11:38:42 PM): Heading down the stairs?
MilesMk1 (11:38:56 PM): After Gedeon.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:38:59 PM): I go first
Umbrafer (11:39:02 PM): (If you ever need a boost to your stealth, just tell me to open up with the MMG :) )
Thematrian1 (11:39:09 PM): (Heh)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:39:11 PM): *disappearing*
MilesMk1 (11:39:44 PM): I follow along. (slowly, so as not to bump into him)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:40:08 PM): *appearing* *silently mouthing the word: NOW*
Thematrian1 (11:40:18 PM): you slowly head down the stairs, and slowly approach a single door
Umbrafer (11:40:57 PM): Question:
Thematrian1 (11:40:58 PM): The hallway is such that more doors and rooms were clearly planned, but there's only one actual door
Thematrian1 (11:41:00 PM): yes?
Umbrafer (11:41:04 PM): When Robin vanished, did his bow go too?
Thematrian1 (11:41:08 PM): No
Umbrafer (11:41:21 PM): We should grab that on principle
Umbrafer (11:41:29 PM): If it isn't busted, Accident might be able to use it
Thematrian1 (11:41:40 PM): Its sights were pretty much wrecked
Thematrian1 (11:41:48 PM): It's sights
Thematrian1 (11:41:54 PM): no, I had it right the first time
Umbrafer (11:41:58 PM): The first was corre… yeah
MilesMk1 (11:42:30 PM): Hmm... Not exactly sure what Gedeon means by that, so I'll take it as my sign to throw open the door.
Umbrafer (11:42:42 PM): Still worth grabbing. Don't need the sights to fire, and he's probably not good enough to do anything at range anyway
Umbrafer (11:42:54 PM): I mean, I think. He could secretly be a boy scout with all kinds of archery awards.
Thematrian1 (11:43:09 PM): yeah, Accident is definitely the boy scout type
Thematrian1 (11:43:22 PM): The ork you shot in the head earlier is standing with his back to you, wrapping a bandage around his head.
MilesMk1 (11:43:41 PM): Anyone else?
Thematrian1 (11:43:42 PM): no
Thematrian1 (11:43:50 PM): there's some radio equipment on one table
Thematrian1 (11:43:54 PM): with his helmet on top of it
MilesMk1 (11:44:00 PM): I hit him with the rebar.
Thematrian1 (11:44:08 PM): stabbing or bashing?
Dragcrell (11:44:15 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 4 4 5
MilesMk1 (11:44:23 PM): Hmm... Stabbing. No way he'll soak.
MilesMk1 (11:44:31 PM): Lowering my TN to 3.
Thematrian1 (11:44:37 PM): ok
MilesMk1 (11:44:37 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 4 1 1 6 5 4
MilesMk1 (11:44:45 PM): ...and a good thing I did.
MilesMk1 (11:44:48 PM): 10L.
Thematrian1 (11:44:49 PM): hm. Roll Reaction
Thematrian1 (11:44:53 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 1 1 4 4 1 2 4 5 5 5 5 2 2 4
MilesMk1 (11:44:54 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 2 5 3 1 5 1 4
Thematrian1 (11:45:00 PM): yeah, you surprise him
MilesMk1 (11:45:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (11:45:09 PM): Skewered Ork.
Thematrian1 (11:45:10 PM): then you skewed him right through the chest
Thematrian1 (11:45:13 PM): skewer
Thematrian1 (11:45:14 PM): yeah
MilesMk1 (11:45:30 PM): I look around the room for more, then look at Gedeon for my next cue.
Thematrian1 (11:45:36 PM): There are no more
Gedeon Ogoun (11:45:38 PM): *shrugs*
Thematrian1 (11:45:40 PM): there's flourescent lighting
Umbrafer (11:45:42 PM): (For just a second, Blake's head looks like a large metal pyramid.)
MilesMk1 (11:46:06 PM): (Hmm? Sorry, missed that reference. :))
Thematrian1 (11:46:12 PM): (Me too)
Thematrian1 (11:46:20 PM): Blake stands there
MilesMk1 (11:46:37 PM): I examine the room, and wait for Gedeon to lead on.
MilesMk1 (11:47:09 PM): I grab the redio, and the helmet. (which I wear, ghoulish as it is... considering what I'm covered in as a result of the day's events...)
Thematrian1 (11:47:13 PM): The room, she is examined. There's a bunch of medical gear in a cabinet along one wall, the radio stuff I already mentioned, and a desk (which is empty)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:47:18 PM): "What's the plan..are we getting out or cleaning out?"
Thematrian1 (11:47:21 PM): The helmet is a little loose
MilesMk1 (11:47:23 PM): (Hey, maybe the grenade blew off some of the shit.)
MilesMk1 (11:47:56 PM): "Let's get back up first... This detour took us away from Jeremy and Rock, I want to make sure nothing happened to them."
MilesMk1 (11:48:05 PM): "My vote would be cleanout, at this point."
MilesMk1 (11:48:52 PM): "I don't want a mage - even one with fairly ineffectual spirits - at our backs, if I can help it."
Thematrian1 (11:49:06 PM): The radio is connected to some other stuff, which is connected to the wall with a power cord
MilesMk1 (11:49:14 PM): "But I understand if you think getting out would be the wise thing..."
Umbrafer (11:49:20 PM): #Find Raven?#
Thematrian1 (11:49:24 PM): You think you can disentangle it.
MilesMk1 (11:49:35 PM): I take it with me. Stuff it in the backpack.
Thematrian1 (11:49:37 PM): The radio: "Find Raven?"
MilesMk1 (11:49:42 PM): #Who's Raven?#
Thematrian1 (11:49:43 PM): In Alex's voice, no less
Thematrian1 (11:49:48 PM): Radio: "Who's Raven?"
Umbrafer (11:49:50 PM): #Robin, yeah#
Gedeon Ogoun (11:49:52 PM): "It's going to take me a few minutes to get to within physical range. But then I can get you the AR"
Thematrian1 (11:49:55 PM): "Robin, yeah"
Umbrafer (11:49:59 PM): *Shakes head to clear it*
MilesMk1 (11:50:14 PM): Oh... So Gedeon was till translucent.
Thematrian1 (11:50:15 PM): (Hey, hey, I never even thought of that)
MilesMk1 (11:50:27 PM): #Careful, Alex, they had our comms tapped.)
MilesMk1 (11:50:29 PM): #
Thematrian1 (11:50:35 PM): "Careful, Alex, they had our comms tapped"
Umbrafer (11:50:42 PM): #They--how--#
Umbrafer (11:50:45 PM): #Oh.#
Thematrian1 (11:50:46 PM): "They---how"
MilesMk1 (11:50:47 PM): #Maybe they still do, if they have more than one set of this gear.#
Thematrian1 (11:50:48 PM): "Oh"
Thematrian1 (11:50:55 PM): "Maybe they still do, if they have more than one set of this gear."
MilesMk1 (11:51:00 PM): I take the stuff, and pack it up.
MilesMk1 (11:51:36 PM): "Let's go, and see if we can do something about this mage once and for all."
Gedeon Ogoun (11:51:42 PM): "So if you wait here, we'll close a little. The one sniper is hopefully still out of it with a broken rifle. Then, I'll ruck in the rest of the gear and we can clear this place out."
Umbrafer (11:51:46 PM): #Damn it, I told you to get some crypto gear.#
Umbrafer (11:51:52 PM): *Then shuts up on the air*
MilesMk1 (11:52:17 PM): "All right - I'll go check on Jeremy, and wait for you. Alex ought to be getting close by now."
Gedeon Ogoun (11:52:47 PM): "Right. If you can, get as close to the front door as possible..I'll be carrying too much stuff to move fast."
Thematrian1 (11:53:03 PM): You go up and check on Jeremy/Rock. They're as you left them, everything is fine.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:53:09 PM): *grins and vanishes*
MilesMk1 (11:53:17 PM): (In my defense, it just didn't happen because the SR main book had shit in terms of rules for it, and I didn't know how to handle it. Did set some money aside for things I missed, but it never did get taken care of...)
Thematrian1 (11:53:19 PM): Back in the van, Gedeon sits up
Umbrafer (11:53:34 PM): (I know)
Umbrafer (11:53:50 PM): (And IIRC when Alex told you was three or four days, in-game—a week at most.)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:53:54 PM): "Our comm is encrypted."
MilesMk1 (11:54:25 PM): Ok... I go stake out the stairway which my cpative claimed leads to Mr. Mage.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:54:32 PM): (between Alex and myself)
Thematrian1 (11:54:39 PM): Blake stakes out.
MilesMk1 (11:54:51 PM): #My staff too, please.#
Umbrafer (11:55:10 PM): (Don't you like the rebar? ;) )
Gedeon Ogoun (11:55:25 PM): *shaking head* #No more talking#
MilesMk1 (11:55:26 PM): (It has a certain rustic charm, but I'd rather use six dice than four.)
Umbrafer (11:55:40 PM): (Ooh. You could get Throwing Weapons and use it as a javelin)
MilesMk1 (11:55:57 PM): (Don't need to, Polearms cover harpoons. ;))
Umbrafer (11:56:08 PM): (Only wielded, not thrown)
Umbrafer (11:57:11 PM): (Since you already have some fair Throwing Weapons skill, though…)
MilesMk1 (11:57:32 PM): (I have a skill of two in it,. with specialization in Grenades, though.)
Umbrafer (11:57:37 PM): Ah well)
MilesMk1 (11:57:50 PM): (And I somehow think I'd do better with a pistol, at range. :P)
Umbrafer (11:57:55 PM): (Hehehe)
Umbrafer (11:58:03 PM): (Pistol has less cool factor)
Thematrian1 (11:58:46 PM): And, that's where we break. Thank you all for coming, enjoy thanksgiving, I'll see you next week
Dragcrell (11:59:04 PM): Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 1 4 5 4 4 4 4 2 4
Umbrafer (11:59:06 PM): Indeed. I'm assuming that the Thursday game is probably off this week, being Thursday and all
Umbrafer (11:59:08 PM): I mean
Umbrafer (11:59:11 PM): I'm not opposed to running it
Umbrafer (11:59:18 PM): But it needs players to work, and all
Thematrian1 (11:59:25 PM): I can't make it
Umbrafer (11:59:39 PM): *Nods*
MilesMk1 (11:59:43 PM): Ok...
Gedeon Ogoun (11:59:44 PM): good night
MilesMk1 (11:59:47 PM): Good night.
Thematrian1 (11:59:55 PM): sleep wlel all

MilesMk1 (12:00:54 AM): Damnation... I can't believe we still haven't killed them all.
MilesMk1 (12:01:14 AM): This is turning into a land war in Asia. :)
