Thematrian1 (8:32:06 PM): good evening all
Thematrian1 (8:32:16 PM): once we acquire Matt, we'll be in good shape
Umbrafer (8:32:22 PM): \/\/007.
Dragcrell (8:33:06 PM): hehehehe ^_^
MilesMk1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (8:34:01 PM): and there it is
Thematrian1 (8:34:33 PM): when we left our intrepid opportunists, they'd just lured Edward Ng out of his lair.
MilesMk1 (8:35:28 PM): Ah, yes.
MilesMk1 (8:36:02 PM): I was about to say we have Dave, but I guess not.
Thematrian1 (8:36:30 PM): yeah, we always have him until a little past 8:30
Umbrafer (8:36:35 PM): Indeed not. We also won't have our zombie-lord tonight (though he may show at the end).
Thematrian1 (8:36:37 PM): it's like he's taunting us every night
Umbrafer (8:36:49 PM): IIRC his shift starts at 9:00 EST.
MilesMk1 (8:37:09 PM): Is there a log from last session, by any chance? I'd like to get a reminder of what I had been saying to Ed.
Umbrafer (8:37:16 PM): *Dig*
MilesMk1 (8:37:54 PM): (Though I am hopeful this will be simple - he seemed almost eager to get out even as early as when I talked to him on the phone.)
Umbrafer (8:38:33 PM): Up.
Thematrian1 (8:39:46 PM): (That is, indeed, how it was, and that was a day ago)
Umbrafer (8:41:02 PM): ( http://www.sotsw.net/runs/SotSW%2011-01-05.html for reference)
Thematrian1 (8:43:18 PM): that's right, Alex was taking Fox Footage
Thematrian1 (8:43:51 PM): Edward Ng is halfway out of the trapdoor, the pleasantries are concluded
Thematrian1 (8:43:58 PM): he's clearly waiting for Blake to begin
MilesMk1 (8:45:25 PM): "It's been a busy night - we've been trying to hit as many of our friends and associates, see if anyone needed help - or a lift. We're working on a way of getting clear of Chicago for a while."
MilesMk1 (8:45:40 PM): ...and associates as we could
MilesMk1 (8:46:00 PM): "So like I said on the phone..."
Thematrian1 (8:46:54 PM): He hesitates fractionally. "This isn't a bad setup, but I'd rather get out of town. I accept."
MilesMk1 (8:47:50 PM): "Great. Did you have any other trouble since that mantis you mentioned?"
MilesMk1 (8:48:10 PM): "Well, aside from the mundane issues like this." *gestures at the broken up shop*
Thematrian1 (8:48:20 PM): "That was the mantis"
MilesMk1 (8:48:45 PM): "Ah. I suppose the jackals came out to pick through the wreckage later."
Thematrian1 (8:49:06 PM): "Yep. But they took the corpses with them afterward, so I didn't mind too much."
MilesMk1 (8:49:31 PM): "Should have known better. Me, I mean, but them too." *grins*
Thematrian1 (8:50:00 PM): "They weren't from around here. From what I heard, they had an eye on bigger things."
Thematrian1 (8:50:12 PM): "Loot a few gun shops, take over an office building, things like that."
MilesMk1 (8:50:35 PM): "From out of town, or not from *gestures* this area?"
MilesMk1 (8:51:02 PM): "We came across an enterprising bunch trying to steal a whole Home Despot earlier, ourselves."
Thematrian1 (8:51:38 PM): He blinks. "Not bad. Shows a little vision."
EverGuard4 (8:51:59 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 2 2 1 3 6 1 1 5
MilesMk1 (8:52:04 PM): "Heh... Don't suppose they were led by a surly-looking ork with <description of the guy we chased off from Zbyhnev's shop>?"
Thematrian1 (8:52:12 PM): "I meant, further into Westside. The groups around here wouldn't have tried it."
Thematrian1 (8:52:35 PM): He shakes his head. "This group was all-elf, actually. Cycle gang."
MilesMk1 (8:53:29 PM): "We were impressed too, but they wouldn't share. Or sell. So we took three eighteen wheelers they thoughtfully loaded for us and left."
Thematrian1 (8:54:43 PM): Ed just nods. "What's your hideout?"
MilesMk1 (8:55:20 PM): (I assume no one tells me anything alarming, like "He's got a wasp in his aura!, right?")
MilesMk1 (8:55:23 PM): (Better idea.)
Thematrian1 (8:55:55 PM): (No one has said that, no)
Thematrian1 (8:56:03 PM): (It seems likely that Gedeon would have mentioned it)
EverGuard4 (8:56:12 PM): (He seems to be lacking waspiness)
MilesMk1 (8:56:38 PM): "A garage ran by a friend of Alex's."
MilesMk1 (8:56:57 PM): #Mind if I tell him something more specific, Alex?#
MilesMk1 (8:57:29 PM): If there's no objection, I mention the area it's in. (though in a general way)
Thematrian1 (8:58:25 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 5 2 4 2 4 5 6 2 4 6 1 1 1
Thematrian1 (8:58:36 PM): objections, Alex?
Umbrafer (8:59:39 PM): (Wheep, sorry.) #How specific?#
Umbrafer (8:59:49 PM): #If you trust him and he's clean, no.#
EverGuard4 (9:01:46 PM): brb, calling the parentals
MilesMk1 (9:01:52 PM): "Woman named Sigrun, in <insert name of area>."
Thematrian1 (9:02:27 PM): He nods. "I think I've heard of her."
MilesMk1 (9:03:03 PM): "By the way - how heavy are you planning on travelling? We do have a fair bit of room in the van."
Thematrian1 (9:03:51 PM): "I'd planned to seal this place and return to it; what's left isn't especially mobile"
MilesMk1 (9:05:17 PM): "Ah. Anything that might come in handy in an attempted breakout? Not that we're looking for a handout, but it looks like guns and ammo are the new hard currency, and anything helps."
Thematrian1 (9:06:53 PM): "I've got a few grenades left, some ammunition. Standard, but a machine gun can fire it."
MilesMk1 (9:07:22 PM): "Don't suppose you have any tasers lying around? They'
MilesMk1 (9:07:42 PM): d work much better on the bugs than most firearms."
MilesMk1 (9:08:14 PM): "Regardless - we wouldn't mind taking anything you can spare off your hands."
Thematrian1 (9:08:19 PM): "I have five a week ago. Guy came in, bought them all for twice the street price. Bought the laser, too."
Umbrafer (9:08:28 PM): Aw man…
MilesMk1 (9:08:43 PM): "You'd think he knew this was going to happe..."
Umbrafer (9:08:47 PM): Alex fights back weeping.
MilesMk1 (9:08:52 PM): "You had a laser?"
MilesMk1 (9:08:59 PM): "Pistol or rifle?"
Thematrian1 (9:09:00 PM): How? She has no control of her body.
Umbrafer (9:09:16 PM): Alex fights back release of coolant across the Kimji's sensors.
Umbrafer (9:09:33 PM): Lubricant, rather.
Thematrian1 (9:09:50 PM): "Rifle. A gift from a friend, for services rendered. Had it out for almost a day."
MilesMk1 (9:10:53 PM): "Huh. Ah, well. Let's get your stuff loaded up, and head out, then?"
MilesMk1 (9:11:18 PM): *as he helps with any loading/sealing* "By the way - don't suppose the name Deadeye means anything to you?"
Thematrian1 (9:11:24 PM): He nods, and beckons Blake into the trap door. He manages to exclude the rest of you without being too rude about it.
Thematrian1 (9:11:27 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 4 2 1 4 2 5 1 6 1 1 3 6 1 5
Thematrian1 (9:11:38 PM): "Ugh. Sounds like a poser name to me."
MilesMk1 (9:12:01 PM): "Could be a razorboy, so you're not far off."
Umbrafer (9:12:48 PM): (All six legit razorkids are offended)
MilesMk1 (9:13:01 PM): "Remember that kid I pulled off the street a couple of weeks ago? Someone grabbed him, and trashed the safehouse he was staying at. Got that name out of one of the neighbors."
Thematrian1 (9:13:15 PM): "Trouble sure does follow that guy around."
MilesMk1 (9:13:17 PM): "Apparently, the guys who did it mentioned it frequently."
MilesMk1 (9:15:20 PM): "Yeah, well... If I can dig up something more, the people who grabbed him will come to appreciate how true that is. I'm sick of people or things trying to poison, eat, rob or kidnap my friends lately."
Thematrian1 (9:15:36 PM): The Swag from Edward Ng's workshop:
Thematrian1 (9:16:20 PM): Crate of UCAS army rations (2)
Umbrafer (9:16:47 PM): !
Thematrian1 (9:16:49 PM): Miscellaneous grenades (12)
Thematrian1 (9:16:59 PM): Burning bar of thermite (1)
Thematrian1 (9:17:35 PM): Heavy and machine pistols, take your pick (lots)
Umbrafer (9:18:18 PM): !!!
EverGuard4 (9:18:29 PM): (pick up spare pistols for me? ^^)
Umbrafer (9:18:29 PM): Not much, but burning bars are much better for cutting through hard stuff.
Thematrian1 (9:18:41 PM): Missile, exact variety non-obvious (1)
Umbrafer (9:19:10 PM): Curious. I take it it doesn't come with a launcher?
Thematrian1 (9:19:22 PM): 20-round boxes of standard ammunition (18)
Thematrian1 (9:19:35 PM): Missile launcher (0)
Thematrian1 (9:21:14 PM): 20-round boxes of APDS (2)
MilesMk1 (9:21:16 PM): I take as many heavy and machine pistols as I think I reasonably can. We can add it to the pile of guns we got from the Home Despot in case we need to arm a militia.
MilesMk1 (9:21:22 PM): Rifle?
Thematrian1 (9:21:27 PM): yes
MilesMk1 (9:21:46 PM): Woo-hoo.
MilesMk1 (9:21:58 PM): And I mean that sincerely.
Dragcrell (9:22:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 5 5 5 3 3 5
Thematrian1 (9:22:45 PM): AP rounds (8)
Thematrian1 (9:25:35 PM): Collection of miscellaneous parts and tools that come with a good gun shop (1)
Umbrafer (9:25:55 PM): AP?
MilesMk1 (9:26:03 PM): AV, I'm guessing.
Thematrian1 (9:26:08 PM): uh, yeah
Thematrian1 (9:26:11 PM): AV rounds
Umbrafer (9:26:16 PM): What weapon class?
MilesMk1 (9:26:48 PM): Rifle.
Thematrian1 (9:26:56 PM): yes
Thematrian1 (9:27:04 PM): No other kind, in SotSW ;-)
Thematrian1 (9:28:52 PM): Secure jackets, vests, and long coats (2-3 of each)
Umbrafer (9:28:54 PM): Sure there are
Thematrian1 (9:28:57 PM): And that's what he has left
Umbrafer (9:29:14 PM): Three classes of rifle and three of machine gun
Thematrian1 (9:29:42 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 5 1 5 4 1 1 5 1 6 3 4 4 1 5
Umbrafer (9:29:46 PM): And assault cannon, can't forget those
Thematrian1 (9:29:58 PM): There are no assault cannons, nor ammunition for them
Umbrafer (9:30:04 PM): *Sad*
MilesMk1 (9:30:38 PM): If I can find a secure jacket that will fit Alex, I push one on her.
Umbrafer (9:31:00 PM): *Objects, as she's already wearing one*
Umbrafer (9:31:15 PM): (Well, not Secure, but none of the advantages matter for me)
MilesMk1 (9:31:42 PM): (Ah. Didn't realize Alex had acquired armor. When did that happen?)
Umbrafer (9:31:50 PM): (Zbyhnev's place.)
Umbrafer (9:32:12 PM): (Regular armored jacket. A bit heavier and bulkier, but it's all the same behind the wheel.)
MilesMk1 (9:32:25 PM): (Oh. Well, never mind, then. I see about getting Rock properly equipped, instead, since all he has is the jumpsuit.)
Umbrafer (9:32:32 PM): (He's got one too)
Umbrafer (9:32:48 PM): (Though a Secure might be worth it for him)
MilesMk1 (9:32:56 PM): (Doh. Did I miss a session? Oh well. I'm sure they'll come in handy at some point.)
MilesMk1 (9:33:16 PM): In that case, let's load up, and go to the next waypoint,
Umbrafer (9:34:37 PM): *Vrrrm*
Thematrian1 (9:35:58 PM): Ng settles in the back, draps one arm around a strato, and puts up his feet on a crate of rations
Thematrian1 (9:36:10 PM): ok, who's left?
MilesMk1 (9:36:22 PM): Jeremy, the doctor.
MilesMk1 (9:36:31 PM): And any people someone else might have.
MilesMk1 (9:36:36 PM): Like Alex and Martha.
Umbrafer (9:36:49 PM): Shojo and Martha. I'm right here.
MilesMk1 (9:36:59 PM): And I need to find Jeromah.
Thematrian1 (9:37:27 PM): (Call him that again, and I'll wave my wand and make that his real name)
Umbrafer (9:37:40 PM): *Cackle*
MilesMk1 (9:37:45 PM): (Fine, fine, I'll behave.)
Thematrian1 (9:38:08 PM): (Abuse of GM power never felt so right)
Dragcrell (9:38:22 PM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (9:38:59 PM): Shojo and Martha are not in this district. The doctor is.
MilesMk1 (9:40:38 PM): Let's check in on the doctor. If nothing else, I can maybe get him to check on Alex.
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:42:32 PM): Ok. Finding his location is no trouble. Three blocks out, you encounter a barricade composed of junkers and americars.
MilesMk1 (9:42:52 PM): That's not actually his location, is it?
Thematrian1 (9:43:05 PM): Gedeon's car would fit right it. It, by the way, is emitting some black smoke now.
Umbrafer (9:43:26 PM): *Stays a safe distance away in case it explodes*
MilesMk1 (9:43:59 PM): I'm sure Gedeon continues to insist it is a good car, and it's simply doing that because he switched it to enriched fuel mixture.
Thematrian1 (9:44:06 PM): It is to within three blocks
MilesMk1 (9:44:19 PM): Oh.
MilesMk1 (9:44:25 PM): Anyone visible on the barricade?
Umbrafer (9:44:39 PM): Trolls in suits?
MilesMk1 (9:44:52 PM): "Well, this looks fun. Let's hope it's not more morons trying to play highwaymen."
Umbrafer (9:44:53 PM): Hopefully no headless Trolls in suits back from the dead to haunt us.
Thematrian1 (9:45:07 PM): Oh, I'm sorry. You drive for a few minutes, then encounter this. It's three blocks away _from the doctor's practice/home_
MilesMk1 (9:45:25 PM): Ah.
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

EverGuard4 (9:45:40 PM): sorry about that
MilesMk1 (9:45:43 PM): np
Thematrian1 (9:46:21 PM): No trolls in suits. No nothing, in fact, except a flimsy ladder set up on your side of the barricade
EverGuard4 (9:46:38 PM): btw (from above) *sneaks weapons/armor/stuff*
MilesMk1 (9:46:50 PM): "I guess I'll go out and take a look."
MilesMk1 (9:47:06 PM): "Or maybe have Kimji take one?"
Umbrafer (9:47:36 PM): *Flitflitflit*
Thematrian1 (9:48:39 PM): up, up, and away. There are men in obvious gang colors holding a mix of submachine guns and assault rifles, watching the barricades. Passive sensors
Thematrian1 (9:49:49 PM): edit for clarity: roll passive sensors, please
Umbrafer (9:51:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 1 2 2 3
Umbrafer (9:51:54 PM): Oops
Thematrian1 (9:51:57 PM): Incidentally, Trickster is still in fox form
Umbrafer (9:51:58 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 2 3 4 2 4 4 1
Umbrafer (9:52:02 PM): Ah well.
Thematrian1 (9:52:39 PM): Ok. Gangers down below, more standing in the windows of the two-story building that Jeremy works out of.
MilesMk1 (9:53:49 PM): "I'm currently leaning towards the assumption that these people were not, in fact, stupid enough to fuck with a doctor that provides maintenance for people like me."
Umbrafer (9:54:01 PM): *Relay*
MilesMk1 (9:54:31 PM): "...let me go in and say hi."
EverGuard4 (9:54:36 PM): *quick astral peek to look for Awakened, if any*
EverGuard4 (9:56:56 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 4 6 5 2 3 5 3 1 3
Dragcrell (9:58:21 PM): *opens the window and engages the spirt*
Thematrian1 (9:59:32 PM): The fox's little paw depresses the window-down button, and he sticks his head out the window, snapping at the air
Thematrian1 (9:59:36 PM): that's all you mundanes can see
Thematrian1 (10:00:53 PM): actions from the rest of the group?
EverGuard4 (10:00:55 PM): *laughs and watches*
MilesMk1 (10:01:06 PM): #I'm trying to resist the impulse to say: "Trickster? What is it, boy?#
MilesMk1 (10:01:24 PM): *clears throat* "Trickster? What the hell is going on?"
Dragcrell (10:02:17 PM): Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 3 2 6 2
Dragcrell (10:02:25 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (10:02:34 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 4 1 4 5 1 1 3 2 6 2 2 2 4 4
Thematrian1 (10:03:18 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 1 1 5 1 2 5 1 5 5 2 1 6 1 3
Dragcrell (10:04:25 PM): *watches it and growls at it*
Thematrian1 (10:05:06 PM): Trickster growls out the window.
MilesMk1 (10:06:17 PM): "Are we in danger? What is it? Something magical?"
MilesMk1 (10:07:06 PM): "This would be a lot easier if you would just shift and talk, you know."
Dragcrell (10:07:42 PM): ((brb ahve to get the dog in and the ducks))
Dragcrell (10:07:58 PM): *shifts gets drest then gives the others the info*
Thematrian1 (10:08:26 PM): Naked man! Clothed man!
Thematrian1 (10:08:44 PM): Edward Ng keeps his cool, and doesn't say anything.
MilesMk1 (10:09:27 PM): "Ed, this is Trickster."
Thematrian1 (10:10:35 PM): "Hello, Trickster"
Umbrafer (10:10:58 PM): (Trickster is our secret weapon.)
Thematrian1 (10:13:03 PM): Ok. The info is as follows: there was a spirit, Trickster attacked it, it flew away
MilesMk1 (10:13:52 PM): Did it seems to be from the UB, or the people behind the barricade?
Umbrafer (10:15:08 PM): Thanks to the ducks, we may never know.
Dragcrell (10:15:31 PM): (back)
Dragcrell (10:15:40 PM): "na not shoure what type."
MilesMk1 (10:17:11 PM): "Why did you attack it? Because it was snooping around?"
Dragcrell (10:17:38 PM): "yep was takeing a intrest in the van."
MilesMk1 (10:18:05 PM): "Hmm. Well, I need to find out what happend to the good doctor. I'll be back."
MilesMk1 (10:18:08 PM): *heads out*
Thematrian1 (10:18:40 PM): Out he goes. Everyone else staying behind?
MilesMk1 (10:18:48 PM): Does the barricade look like it could be climbed somewhere besides where the ladder is, so I don't stick my head over it where they'll expect it?
Thematrian1 (10:19:38 PM): if you're athletic, and willing to clamber a bit, yeah
Dragcrell (10:19:54 PM): *follows behind*
MilesMk1 (10:20:21 PM): Mhmm...
Thematrian1 (10:20:22 PM): so noted
MilesMk1 (10:21:06 PM): I'll just use the ladder.
Thematrian1 (10:21:33 PM): Ok. Up the ladder you. It's eight feet to the top of the barricade; it must have taken some time and effort.
Umbrafer (10:22:48 PM): (Or Pusher's cousin is in tow.)
Umbrafer (10:22:50 PM): *town
MilesMk1 (10:23:10 PM): I quickly pop up - ready to get back down at signs of aggression, or suspicious glints (as if off a scope's lens) in the windows, and say, loudly "Who's in charge here?"
Thematrian1 (10:23:31 PM): roll perception
Dragcrell (10:23:53 PM): *climps up the burricad beside the ladder*
Thematrian1 (10:24:00 PM): (Hey guys, totally off topic, but is it 1 or 6 on the die roll that prevents regeneration?)
Dragcrell (10:24:13 PM): (1)
Thematrian1 (10:24:19 PM): (Thanks)
Umbrafer (10:24:29 PM): (Man, that would be weird if they mixed it up like that.)
MilesMk1 (10:24:41 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 6 3 2 3 2
MilesMk1 (10:24:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (10:25:06 PM): One of the assault-rifle-carrying humans elects himself Speaker to Shortguy. "You here to see the doctor?"
Umbrafer (10:26:03 PM): (We need to make that an official position or something.)
Thematrian1 (10:27:48 PM): Blake: nothing suspicious catches your eye.
MilesMk1 (10:28:00 PM): "Yeah. You people running security for him, or what?
Thematrian1 (10:29:03 PM): He smirks. "Sure. Doc's inside." He gestures toward the building with his gun.
MilesMk1 (10:30:30 PM): Anything in that smirk to suggest that maybe they're holding him and making money off of people looking for treatment? Or is he just sneering at the idea of them as "security"?
MilesMk1 (10:30:48 PM): "And what do I need to do to see him?"
Dragcrell (10:31:06 PM): *edges head up enufe to see in side and take a look around*
Thematrian1 (10:31:08 PM): He's sneering at something, but it's hard to say what. By the look of things, his face spends a lot of time sneering.
Thematrian1 (10:31:22 PM): "Get off the wall, go inside, pay your fee."
Thematrian1 (10:31:48 PM): He's slid from smirking to outright contempt.
Umbrafer (10:32:50 PM): (Want me to just shoot them all?)
EverGuard4 (10:33:13 PM): *assense*
EverGuard4 (10:33:16 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 2 6 1 4 2 6 4 5
Thematrian1 (10:33:21 PM): Wait, Rock, you went with?
MilesMk1 (10:33:25 PM): "Credits? Ammo? Food? What are we talking about here?"
MilesMk1 (10:33:36 PM): (Would be hard, through the barricade.)
Umbrafer (10:33:48 PM): (Stratos.)
MilesMk1 (10:33:59 PM): (True.)
MilesMk1 (10:34:09 PM): (Well, this is starting to stink, but not just yet, I think.)
MilesMk1 (10:34:31 PM): (Either the doc has some really lousy help, or there will be bloodshed soon.)
Thematrian1 (10:35:01 PM): "Food or ammunition."
EverGuard4 (10:35:15 PM): (I just tag along with the duff)
MilesMk1 (10:35:18 PM): #I don't like the sound of thi...#
MilesMk1 (10:35:48 PM): #Yeah, that tears it. No way is Jeremy working for food and ammo.#
MilesMk1 (10:35:59 PM): "How much of either?"
MilesMk1 (10:36:17 PM): #I'll be going in, but I think I might need backup.#
Umbrafer (10:36:40 PM): #Got it.# *Preps a Strato, looks for a way through the barrier*
Thematrian1 (10:37:00 PM): He smiles. "Tell them what you need, then make an offer."
MilesMk1 (10:38:16 PM): "All right."
MilesMk1 (10:38:46 PM): *comes on down, watching for a place to take cover (or a busted car to jump into) if this turns ugly too soon*
Thematrian1 (10:39:13 PM): One of the americars is sort of half sticking out of the barricade. The doors are missing, but you could dive in and hide behind the engine block
Dragcrell (10:39:38 PM): (any way to weed by way in with out being seen?)
MilesMk1 (10:39:54 PM): By the way - this is me in my "normal" clothes, so no helmet, no AR... Not much in the way of visible weaponry. The way I looked when the cops stopped us.
Thematrian1 (10:39:57 PM): None that involve clambering over the barricade, that's for sure
Thematrian1 (10:40:02 PM): Rock, what are you doing?
Thematrian1 (10:40:08 PM): I see. What weapons are you carrying?
Dragcrell (10:41:13 PM): mmm well in the case follow blake but staying warry
MilesMk1 (10:41:44 PM): Shock gloves, heavy pistol in concealable holster, light pistol in concealable holster.
Thematrian1 (10:42:01 PM): no one actually points any weapons at you, but you've got the attention of every guard on this side of the barricade
Thematrian1 (10:42:25 PM): Six city blocks down, you can see another barricade, cutting off traffic from the other direction
Thematrian1 (10:42:46 PM): The cross roads are blocked with a car or two or at most three
MilesMk1 (10:42:55 PM): Does this seem like the sort of attention they'd pay to anyone coming over, or is this the look gangers get on their faces when they realize who the short guy they've been mouthing off to is?
Thematrian1 (10:43:57 PM): they're wary, but not respectful or awe-struck
MilesMk1 (10:44:33 PM): Hehe... Didn't mean it in quite that way. Ok. In I go, unless challenged.
EverGuard4 (10:45:16 PM): sorry, I followed Blake
EverGuard4 (10:45:25 PM): (just wearing jacket + coat (pistol inside))
Thematrian1 (10:45:46 PM): Rock and Trickster follow. They get some attention too. Open the doors and you're inside. A huge ork, or perhaps a smallish troll, has...
Thematrian1 (10:47:00 PM): ...stacked a set of large tires into a peculiar sort of throne.
EverGuard4 (10:47:19 PM): *assense*
Thematrian1 (10:47:26 PM): His voice is surprisingly high, almost squeaky, and very precise: "What're you here for?"
Dragcrell (10:47:45 PM): *looks the guy over then around the rest of the room*
EverGuard4 (10:47:50 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 3 2 5 2 3 4 6 5
Dragcrell (10:47:52 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 1 1 1 5
Dragcrell (10:48:00 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (10:50:09 PM): There are several doors behind him and on either connecting wall, all closed. Two humans with assault rifles stand on either side of the "throne"
MilesMk1 (10:51:14 PM): "Need to see the doctor about my eyes."
Thematrian1 (10:51:30 PM): "Normal or cybered?"
MilesMk1 (10:52:31 PM): "Cybered. All this shit made me miss my scheduled adjustment, and they're getting uncomfortable."
Thematrian1 (10:52:45 PM): "Payment?"
Umbrafer (10:53:13 PM): ("I can give you 200 rounds of MMG ammo.")
Umbrafer (10:53:36 PM): ("Act now and I'll throw in some heavy pistol rounds free.")
Dragcrell (10:53:37 PM): (lol)
EverGuard4 (10:53:59 PM): (pull a Trin) =)
MilesMk1 (10:54:06 PM): "I have some food and ammo, but more of the food. I guess it depends on how much it'd be."
MilesMk1 (10:54:19 PM): (Trin?)
Thematrian1 (10:54:41 PM): He shrugs a little. "It's not like prices are fixed, you know?"
EverGuard4 (10:54:49 PM): (negotiating scene in the 3rd Matrix movie)
MilesMk1 (10:54:57 PM): (Ah.)
Umbrafer (10:55:02 PM): (Still need to see that one.)
MilesMk1 (10:55:08 PM): "Well, I've got a week
MilesMk1 (10:55:37 PM): 's worth of MREs... Or a couple boxes of ammo."
Dragcrell (10:55:44 PM): (eh I thin the one from The 5th Element would be more fitting)
Thematrian1 (10:56:49 PM): "The MREs will do it, unless you need something exotic. Bring 'em in and Rosco will show you to the doctor."
Thematrian1 (10:56:55 PM): "What about those two?"
MilesMk1 (10:57:48 PM): *waits a bit to see if they say anything* If not:
MilesMk1 (10:58:06 PM): "Just came with, you know. City's not a good place to travel around alone."
Thematrian1 (10:58:45 PM): He nods. "They'll have to wait out here."
MilesMk1 (10:58:57 PM): "Ok. I'll go get the food."
Thematrian1 (10:59:22 PM): He nods politely
Thematrian1 (10:59:24 PM): ish
MilesMk1 (11:00:43 PM): *heads out, collects the MREs, passes all the info to the people in the van, tosses the MREs in a backpack along with a concussion grenade and a can of Aztecola, heads back in.*
EverGuard4 (11:00:52 PM): (ooc - and shamelessly metagaming - think we could find transducers for Trick and Rock)
EverGuard4 (11:01:10 PM): ?
Dragcrell (11:01:21 PM): (for Rock that would be easy not so for Trick
Umbrafer (11:01:25 PM): (No, as neither have datajacks IIRC. Subvocal mics might be a good bet…)
MilesMk1 (11:01:30 PM): (Would be good, but things have been rough to find since the quarantine.)
EverGuard4 (11:01:35 PM): (the usual external ones)
Umbrafer (11:01:43 PM): (They still plug into a datajack)
MilesMk1 (11:01:53 PM): ? in relation to your question, or the Aztecola?
Umbrafer (11:01:56 PM): (I suppose you might be able to make a case for using a trode rig, but still)
EverGuard4 (11:01:57 PM): ( o right... sorry)
EverGuard4 (11:02:09 PM): (subvocal + radio for me, I guess)
Thematrian1 (11:02:12 PM): Blake goes and comes
Umbrafer (11:02:45 PM): (As soon as we have access to a surgery I'm down with datajack+transducer for Rock if you're willing to take the chrome. That's your call.)
MilesMk1 (11:03:32 PM): *hands over the food*
Thematrian1 (11:03:37 PM): Squeaky gestures, and one of the gunmen walks over to the crate and opens it up. Seeing the Food, he nods, and Squeaky is appeased.
Thematrian1 (11:04:05 PM): The same gunman grabs the crate, and gestures with his free hand to follow him through one of the doors behind the throne
MilesMk1 (11:04:08 PM): I actually just took seven out of a crate.
MilesMk1 (11:04:28 PM): (I assumed a crate of MREs was more than a week's worth. If not, I guess I brought one.)
Thematrian1 (11:04:30 PM): s/crate/backpack. They take the food
MilesMk1 (11:04:35 PM): I follow.
Thematrian1 (11:04:39 PM): (Yeah, a crate is many more. My mistake)
Umbrafer (11:05:41 PM): The Strato is not fielded, but is ready to go.
Dragcrell (11:06:21 PM): *looks around takeing in the goings on and such*
Thematrian1 (11:06:26 PM): check. You follow him to one of Jeremy's offices; you could lead the way.
Thematrian1 (11:07:00 PM): When you enter, Jeremy is typing something in a personal computer. His eyes widen slightly when he sees you, but he speaks politely: "Hello. What's your name?"
MilesMk1 (11:07:30 PM): "Uh, hello. Jonathan Foster."
Thematrian1 (11:09:08 PM): He smiles. "And what's the problem, Jonathan?"
Thematrian1 (11:09:55 PM): "My name is Jeremy Kovacs, by the way." ::he extends a hand::
MilesMk1 (11:09:59 PM): *shakes*
Thematrian1 (11:10:54 PM): The room is simple and clean, much as you remember. The big difference is the skinny, nervous-looking guy with the submachine gun
MilesMk1 (11:11:15 PM): "Well, I've been putting off the maintenance on my eyes, and they're starting to bother me. So I figured I'd better get that looked at while I could still see and I could find a doctor, you know?"
MilesMk1 (11:11:53 PM): "That, and my datajack - the skin next to it's been kind of numb."
Thematrian1 (11:12:11 PM): "That's strange. Mind if I jack in and run a diagnostic?"
Thematrian1 (11:12:19 PM): "The eyes are routine, we'll do those second."
MilesMk1 (11:12:55 PM): "I think I've been spending too much time plugg... Yeah, I was hoping you would."
MilesMk1 (11:13:15 PM): "Uh, do I need to sit somewhere for this?"
Thematrian1 (11:14:12 PM): He has a chair with wheels. He glides it over beside a uncomfortable-looking plastic one, then invites you to sit.
MilesMk1 (11:14:12 PM): As I do this, I consider two things: Are Jeremy's rooms reasonably soundproofed for patient privacy, and the distance I'd need to cover to severely shock-glove the guy.
Thematrian1 (11:14:25 PM): Out in the antechamber, Squeaky speaks: "Do you guys follow Urban Brawl?"
MilesMk1 (11:14:29 PM): I comply.
MilesMk1 (11:14:50 PM): Not terribly well sound-proofed, then.
Thematrian1 (11:14:59 PM): Heh
Thematrian1 (11:15:04 PM): That's not audible to you, Blake
Dragcrell (11:15:10 PM): "not realy."
MilesMk1 (11:15:14 PM): ;)
Thematrian1 (11:15:23 PM): Jeremy's rooms are _very_ soundproofed, and you'd need to cross the room to mess the guy up
Thematrian1 (11:15:32 PM): "Too bad, you should. It's intense, you know?"
Thematrian1 (11:16:19 PM): Jeremy fishes some cable out of his coat, and connects to you.
Thematrian1 (11:16:32 PM): #Hi Blake. What the frag is going on?#
Dragcrell (11:16:47 PM): "so I've heard tho hard to keep up with all the shits thats going on."
Thematrian1 (11:17:32 PM): Squeaky casts a curious glance Rock's way
MilesMk1 (11:18:03 PM): #Just checking on all the people who owe me money.#
MilesMk1 (11:18:48 PM): *in a serious tone* #The crew and I were making the rounds, making sure our friends were doing all right.#
Thematrian1 (11:19:23 PM): #Well, I've been better. These guys moved in and took over...thirty hours ago? Forty?#
Thematrian1 (11:20:34 PM): Squeaky: "Anyway, it's crazy. I watched this one game..." and he's off into a long and largely incomprehensible story. His one remaining gunman has, by his expression, heard it before. Many times.
MilesMk1 (11:20:36 PM): #My first thought is, they couldn't be stupid enough to do this... Then they asked for payment in food or ammo, and it became pretty clear what was up.#
MilesMk1 (11:20:53 PM): thought was, rather.
EverGuard4 (11:22:03 PM): how many have we seen?
Thematrian1 (11:22:08 PM): #Yeah. I don't suppose you're leading a battalion of UCAS soldiers, with massive firepower and an unlimited mandate with which to restore order?#
MilesMk1 (11:22:12 PM): #I have a rigger with a MMG-loaded Strato standing by outside. And a mage. (assuming Gedeon didn't disappear) Who are these people? Anyone we need to watch out for?#
Thematrian1 (11:22:15 PM): How many what?
EverGuard4 (11:22:28 PM): hostiles (or potential hostiles)
Thematrian1 (11:23:32 PM): #I'm not totally sure. There's a gang, but they're not in charge. There's a guy with a bow, but he's not in charge either. There's allegedly a mage, I've never seen him#
Umbrafer (11:23:41 PM): Aw crap.
Thematrian1 (11:23:56 PM): Hostiles: 12 outside, the three inside, possibly others
EverGuard4 (11:24:21 PM): mind describing the entrance to this room/building?
EverGuard4 (11:24:39 PM): reasonably defensible?
EverGuard4 (11:24:49 PM): (or not?)
Thematrian1 (11:25:04 PM): It's a single door, with one-way windows on the same wall
MilesMk1 (11:25:14 PM): #Is the mage in charge? Or are they all working for the Yaks, or something?#
MilesMk1 (11:25:50 PM): #Guy with a bow... Smells like an adept to me.#
MilesMk1 (11:26:12 PM): #Any idea how many there are?#
Thematrian1 (11:26:55 PM): #Maybe twenty gang types, and the two rulers. I haven't seen them all, though.#
Thematrian1 (11:27:07 PM): #I don't think they answer to a higher authority; the gangers sure don't#
Thematrian1 (11:28:38 PM): #Just Robin and "My Associate"#
MilesMk1 (11:30:27 PM): #How do you want us to handle this? This should be well within our ability to take care of, but it will get messy. And there are never guarantees once the lead starts flying.#
Thematrian1 (11:31:12 PM): #I want the hell out of this, if you can arrange it.#
Thematrian1 (11:32:34 PM): #If you can kill one quietly here, I can probably lure a few more in#
MilesMk1 (11:33:18 PM): #Not a problem, unless he's a lot better than he looks.#
MilesMk1 (11:34:05 PM): #How do you figure? Tell them I need to be restrained, or something? If you can do it without raising an alarm, that'd be great.#
Thematrian1 (11:34:41 PM): Back in the antechamber, the story is winding down.
Thematrian1 (11:34:58 PM): Apparently half of one team or another, or maybe both teams, or part of a third team, needed to be hospitalized
MilesMk1 (11:35:22 PM): #If not, then I can take him out, and take down the ones in the anteroom at the same time as my partner sends in the drones, guns blazing.#
Thematrian1 (11:35:35 PM): DocWagon showed up right in the middle of the game.
Umbrafer (11:35:52 PM): (We could leave Shadowrunning and join a Combat Biking team)
Thematrian1 (11:35:55 PM): #There are others in the building. I'll tell them I need you restrained.#
Thematrian1 (11:37:12 PM): #These are not bright guys#
MilesMk1 (11:37:16 PM): #I got a couple of friends in the waiting room. How's that going to affect things? They might decide to lead them out at gunpoint, or do something hasty...#
MilesMk1 (11:37:43 PM): #But if you're confident you can get some more in here, where I can work quietly, that'd be good.#
MilesMk1 (11:38:39 PM): #By the way, can you patch me back in into my radio, give me a minute, then plug back in again? I'll let the guys in the car know what's going on.#
Thematrian1 (11:38:52 PM): #Sure#
Thematrian1 (11:38:57 PM): He unjacks
Thematrian1 (11:39:14 PM): "I believe that will do it, Mister Foster. Test it now."
MilesMk1 (11:39:45 PM): *jacks in* #Alex.#
MilesMk1 (11:39:53 PM): *describes the situation*
Umbrafer (11:40:27 PM): #Got it. When do you want the cavalry?#
Umbrafer (11:40:42 PM): Scanning the buildings around to make sure no one's in position to hit the van.
Umbrafer (11:40:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 3 5 2 6
MilesMk1 (11:40:46 PM): #I think we're up to getting him out of here - he's my friend, and I want him out, but practically speaking, we can also really use a real doctor.#
Umbrafer (11:40:48 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (11:40:52 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 1 5 5 2 4 4 4
Umbrafer (11:41:03 PM): Yow. Active sensors, don't fail me now.
MilesMk1 (11:41:14 PM): #Watch out for this "Robin" and the supposed mage. Maybe Gedeon can do something about him?#
Thematrian1 (11:41:45 PM): Alex: No one is.
MilesMk1 (11:42:30 PM): #Go in either on my word - I'll try to take some down quietly with Jeremy's help, and then hit the rest at the same time as you - or when you hear gunfire, or have reason to belive the shit has hit the fan.#
Thematrian1 (11:42:55 PM): Rock and Trickster are obvious
Thematrian1 (11:43:04 PM): Squeaky has started another story
Umbrafer (11:43:07 PM): I'm going to move a few blocks away, do another scan, then loft the Strato. Not pulling into LOS of anyone yet.
Thematrian1 (11:43:11 PM): He keeps trying to get you to reply
Thematrian1 (11:43:19 PM): Ok. Roll the scans
Umbrafer (11:43:24 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 5 1
Umbrafer (11:43:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 5
Umbrafer (11:43:29 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 6 6 2 3 4 4 2
Umbrafer (11:43:32 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 5
Umbrafer (11:43:35 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Dragcrell (11:44:48 PM): "Wow and here I thout all the action was in the streets out side the walls you put up."
Thematrian1 (11:44:49 PM): the rooftops overlooking the van, the alleys...all of them clean as a whistle. The biggest threats by far are a pair of cats, back in one alley
Thematrian1 (11:45:18 PM): Squeaky shakes his head. "No _way_. Urban Brawl is intense, is so heavy, like _every day_."
Umbrafer (11:46:24 PM): I will try to make sure they don't tear the van apart, then loft the Strato. Also going to try for sensor locks on people in the open area 'twixt the barricades.
Dragcrell (11:46:37 PM): "Ya but do they ever throw in beetles the size of cars in the Brawls?"
Thematrian1 (11:47:15 PM): Go ahead and try, but there's a bunch of metal between you and them
Thematrian1 (11:48:31 PM): Jeremy watches Blake with interest. The nervous-looking man watches Blake without interest.
Umbrafer (11:48:48 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 3 4 6 2
Umbrafer (11:48:50 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 3
Umbrafer (11:48:53 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 2 3 3 5
Umbrafer (11:48:56 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 3 5 1 4
Thematrian1 (11:48:57 PM): Squeaky: "beetles the size of cars? Only beetles I know go direct to the brain"
Umbrafer (11:49:00 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 2 6 2 5
Umbrafer (11:49:05 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 5
Thematrian1 (11:49:10 PM): You successfully lock on to two guys
Umbrafer (11:49:11 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 4 6 2 1
Umbrafer (11:49:15 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (11:49:19 PM): That's the lot.
MilesMk1 (11:49:51 PM): *makes face, unplugs* "I think I felt it getting a little warm, actually."
Thematrian1 (11:50:06 PM): "Hmph. Let me examine..."
Thematrian1 (11:50:13 PM): ::he plugs in::
MilesMk1 (11:50:16 PM): "Like when you get a knot in the muscles of your neck..."
Thematrian1 (11:50:18 PM): #Well?#
Thematrian1 (11:50:27 PM): Jeremy is eager.
MilesMk1 (11:51:13 PM): #They're with us.We'll try to take out as many as possible here, then I give the word, and Alex hits them from outside. Or comes in if things go wrong and there's firing.#
MilesMk1 (11:51:33 PM): #Either way, concentrate on putting solid objects between you and people with guns, and let me handle the rest.#
Thematrian1 (11:52:01 PM): Rock and Trickster, perception for both of you
EverGuard4 (11:52:07 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 5 5 1 1 3 2
Dragcrell (11:52:15 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 2 1 2 1 1 4
Thematrian1 (11:53:33 PM): #Will do. Just tell me when#
MilesMk1 (11:55:18 PM): #This guys needs to go first, and after that, we can see about getting more of them in here.#
MilesMk1 (11:55:41 PM): #Just wrap this up like you would normally, and I'll get him on the way out.#
Thematrian1 (11:56:23 PM): #All right.#
Thematrian1 (11:56:31 PM): He unjacks. "Try it now."
MilesMk1 (11:57:03 PM): *plugs back in, pretends to test it* "Yeah, that's good. Thank you."
Thematrian1 (11:57:43 PM): He nods. "Always glad to be of service."
MilesMk1 (11:58:13 PM): #Getting ready to take down the first one. I'm back in contact now, so I'll yell out if something happens.#
Umbrafer (11:58:43 PM): *Drifts up above the building, still staying clear of LOS*
Thematrian1 (11:59:28 PM): ok. Passive sensors, please
MilesMk1 (11:59:44 PM): "Well, I guess that covers it. Thanks again." *takes a step towards the door, converts it into driving a shock-gloved fist into the guy's solar plexus* (provided he doesn't have his finger wrapped around the trigger)
Umbrafer (11:59:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 2 6 4 4 4 1
Umbrafer (11:59:50 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (11:59:58 PM): Ew.
Thematrian1 (12:00:27 AM): He doesn't. Contest of reaction, just for form's sake:
Thematrian1 (12:00:30 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 4 5 5 2 6 1 3 2 2 1 1 4 1 5
Thematrian1 (12:00:45 AM): Alex: the area is still clear
MilesMk1 (12:01:07 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 2 3 3 1 2 5 6 2 2 2
MilesMk1 (12:01:12 AM): Son of a...
Umbrafer (12:01:20 AM): Oww.
MilesMk1 (12:01:23 AM): Karma, I think.
MilesMk1 (12:01:38 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 4 6 5 2 5 1 4
Thematrian1 (12:01:41 AM): that's 2 successes. You'd be re-rolling 8 dice
Thematrian1 (12:01:46 AM): ok, there we go
Thematrian1 (12:02:18 AM): roll it
MilesMk1 (12:02:44 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 6 3 3 1 1 3 2 6 6
MilesMk1 (12:02:50 AM): Bah.
MilesMk1 (12:02:57 AM): Still.
Thematrian1 (12:03:14 AM): Meanwhile, five guys with guns of various size and badassitude enter the antechamber, followed by a massive ork with a large, complicated-looking bow.
Thematrian1 (12:03:27 AM): The guys with guns have their weapons pointed at Trickster and Rock
Thematrian1 (12:03:40 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 2 2 5 6 1 5 2 1 2 5 2 2 2 3
EverGuard4 (12:03:44 AM): *assense peoplez*
Dragcrell (12:03:53 AM): "Problem?" *looking the guys over*
EverGuard4 (12:03:53 AM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 6 6 2 4 5 6 1 1
Thematrian1 (12:03:58 AM): The breath whooshes out of him. He convules momentarily, then slumps
Dragcrell (12:03:59 AM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 6 1 4 5 2 6
Dragcrell (12:04:14 AM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 6
Dragcrell (12:04:19 AM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Dragcrell (12:04:28 AM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (12:04:29 AM): Bow-boy: "Take off your coats, and drop all your weapons"
Thematrian1 (12:05:28 AM): Meanwhile: Alex, doing anything exciting?
MilesMk1 (12:06:01 AM): *places him somewhere out of the way, then gets his gun ready - and transfers the concussion grenade from bag to pocket*
Dragcrell (12:06:15 AM): "We'll be out of your way as soon as our freind is done gettign his stuff checked on."
Umbrafer (12:06:17 AM): Since I haven't gotten the word yet, not particularly. Doing my usual bounce back and forth 'twixt van and Strato, with whichever one I'm not in under orders to keep watch for approaching signatures.
Thematrian1 (12:06:31 AM): check
Thematrian1 (12:07:21 AM): "Do it, now!"
Thematrian1 (12:07:29 AM): That, by the man with the bow in the antechamber
MilesMk1 (12:08:21 AM): "I'm ready. I just wish there'd been a way to warn the two guys in the antechamber... They're awakened, so no transducers."
Dragcrell (12:08:31 AM): (mmmm well testy testy)
Dragcrell (12:08:48 AM): "no need to be pushy whats this all about anyway?"
Thematrian1 (12:08:52 AM): Jeremy hunkers down behind an operating table. "Ready."
EverGuard4 (12:09:00 AM): (sorry, I haven't been meaning to stall here, just trying to finish w you)
Thematrian1 (12:09:31 AM): He draws an arrow, and takes his time fitting it to his bowstring.
MilesMk1 (12:09:45 AM): "Try calling them in?"
Thematrian1 (12:10:04 AM): He shakes his head. "Right, right."
MilesMk1 (12:10:24 AM): "Don't suppose you have any way of seeing what's going on outside?"
Thematrian1 (12:10:29 AM): He gets up again and crosses to the door. He pokes his head out, then calls, "Hey you! I need some help with this patient!"
EverGuard4 (12:10:48 AM): *slowly begins complying*
Thematrian1 (12:10:52 AM): As he passes you on the way to the door: "I did. Gangers probably have access now."
EverGuard4 (12:10:52 AM): (very)
Thematrian1 (12:11:19 AM): "You too, scruffy." Clearly he's referring to Trickster.
MilesMk1 (12:11:27 AM): (If this goes bad, I hope you guys will forgive me if I throw a concussion grenade into a room you're in.)
Thematrian1 (12:12:06 AM): Jeremy: "No, don't bring your friend."
Thematrian1 (12:12:10 AM): "Just get in here."
Dragcrell (12:12:32 AM): *mubles about not being scruffy under breath and as slowly as can comply with the guy*
Thematrian1 (12:12:43 AM): A bored-looking human woman wanders in, looking around idly for the patient
EverGuard4 (12:13:01 AM): *assense*
Thematrian1 (12:13:03 AM): She's got an assault rifle, but slung rather than carried
EverGuard4 (12:13:06 AM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 4 1 3 2 3 2
MilesMk1 (12:13:13 AM): Guess what happens to her?
MilesMk1 (12:13:21 AM): Reaction again?
Thematrian1 (12:13:23 AM): Apologies: wanders into the room with Blake
Thematrian1 (12:13:26 AM): yeah
EverGuard4 (12:13:26 AM): (o)
Thematrian1 (12:13:28 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 6 6 4 1 6 1 4 1 5 1 4 6
EverGuard4 (12:13:30 AM): (nvm)
MilesMk1 (12:13:33 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 2 2 3 6 6 3 3 4 6
MilesMk1 (12:13:38 AM): Better.
Thematrian1 (12:13:44 AM): well, I guess you'd better hope I count from the...or you could just roll well
Umbrafer (12:14:05 AM): :)
EverGuard4 (12:14:20 AM): (-2 for ambush - w007)
MilesMk1 (12:14:36 AM): Attack?
Thematrian1 (12:14:41 AM): by all means
MilesMk1 (12:14:43 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 4 2 2 1 4 2 6 4 1 6 2
MilesMk1 (12:14:54 AM): 6 successes.
Thematrian1 (12:15:06 AM): Rock and Trickster: are you actually dropping your weapons, or leaving some back? If so, which ones?
Thematrian1 (12:15:09 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 6 3 5 1 2 6 4 1 4 5 2 1 4 2
Dragcrell (12:15:34 AM): if I can the snap blades stay on he want em off well..................
Thematrian1 (12:15:36 AM): Yeah, her first sign that something is amiss is when vast quantities of electricity course through her body. She's done, dropped without even a cry.
Thematrian1 (12:16:08 AM): Jeremy, quietly: "One more?"
Thematrian1 (12:16:15 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 3 5 2 3 3 4 3 6 4 2 2 5 2 4
Thematrian1 (12:16:22 AM): He doesn't seem to notice those
EverGuard4 (12:16:26 AM): um... I'll very slowly remove pistol numero uno (of tres) and place it down, then slowly begin removing the coat...
Thematrian1 (12:16:37 AM): He seems content to wait.
MilesMk1 (12:16:48 AM): "Sure."
Thematrian1 (12:17:03 AM): He gestures worriedly at the body
Thematrian1 (12:17:10 AM): Rock: your coat is off.
MilesMk1 (12:17:18 AM): *moves the body behind the operating table*
Thematrian1 (12:17:27 AM): Alex: passive sensors
Umbrafer (12:17:40 AM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 5 1 5 4 2 3
Umbrafer (12:17:45 AM): Oww. Hm.
Thematrian1 (12:17:50 AM): Jeremy sticks his head out the door again. "Hey you! I need some help with this patient!"
Thematrian1 (12:17:56 AM): Hm? Thinking of karma'ing?
Umbrafer (12:18:03 AM): Considering it.
Umbrafer (12:18:19 AM): Nah, I'll let it ride.
Thematrian1 (12:18:23 AM): very well
Thematrian1 (12:18:43 AM): let's see...Edward Ng is in the van, but no one else is?
Thematrian1 (12:19:18 AM): This time you get a suspicious-looking troll with a submachine gun. Go for it, Blake
MilesMk1 (12:19:29 AM): Reaction.
MilesMk1 (12:19:40 AM): Oh, gods. Troll.
MilesMk1 (12:19:43 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 1 5 1 1 1 6 4
Thematrian1 (12:19:45 AM): Bow-guy: "Ok, both of you, against the wall."
Thematrian1 (12:19:49 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 6 1 4 5 3 6 3 4 4 6 6 6 4 2
Umbrafer (12:19:57 AM): Correct, though Gedeon is probably nearby
Thematrian1 (12:20:00 AM): Yeah, you've got him. Melee
MilesMk1 (12:20:07 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 3 3 6 2 6 1 1 6 6 2 4 6
Thematrian1 (12:20:10 AM): Yes, Gedeon is close at hand
Thematrian1 (12:20:27 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 5 5 5 3 2 4 6 5 1 6 5 1
Dragcrell (12:20:36 AM): "Theres 4 of em whic one do you mean?"
Thematrian1 (12:21:58 AM): You dominate the unarmed combat, but your attacks don't accomplish much. The troll looks dizzied and a bit cross-eyed, but very conscious.
Thematrian1 (12:22:15 AM): Bow-man: "The one with the windows, wise guy."
MilesMk1 (12:22:33 AM): Damn. Time to go again, since I had surprise on my side, or...?
Thematrian1 (12:22:59 AM): well, roll initiative, but yes
Dragcrell (12:23:09 AM): *slowly moves to the wall* "so you acutly use that or is it just for looks?"
EverGuard4 (12:23:13 AM): *begins to move slowly*
MilesMk1 (12:23:39 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 6 3
MilesMk1 (12:23:42 AM): 24
Thematrian1 (12:23:56 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 1 1 4 6 1 2 5 5 4 6 2 4 5 3
Thematrian1 (12:24:01 AM): less than that. Go nuts
MilesMk1 (12:24:34 AM): I might need to Karma this to make sure he goes down...
MilesMk1 (12:24:43 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 4 3 3 1 2 6 1 1 4 1 1 2
MilesMk1 (12:24:47 AM): Uh. Yeah.
MilesMk1 (12:24:49 AM): Karma.
Thematrian1 (12:24:55 AM): reroll 11
Thematrian1 (12:24:58 AM): reach
MilesMk1 (12:25:02 AM): Yeesh.
MilesMk1 (12:25:06 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 11 6-sided dice: 2 1 4 3 2 1 2 2 2 6 6

Thematrian1 (12:25:20 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 5 2 3 4 4 6 6 1 1 2 6 1 2 3
EverGuard4 (12:25:24 AM): =(
Umbrafer (12:25:33 AM): Here's hoping he isn't much of a boxer.
Thematrian1 (12:25:34 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 6
MilesMk1 (12:26:30 AM): If we make it out, I'll make a point of telling Jeremy he needs to let people know when "one more" is going to be a troll. :)
Thematrian1 (12:26:40 AM): you win the engagement and pummel the troll some more.
Thematrian1 (12:26:46 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 3 3 2 6 4 4 4 3 5 4 4 3 6 6
MilesMk1 (12:26:49 AM): Oh.
Thematrian1 (12:26:57 AM): with about as much effect as last time
MilesMk1 (12:27:24 AM): He is taking some damage?
Thematrian1 (12:27:32 AM): yes, though not a lot
Umbrafer (12:28:16 AM): That sounds unpleasantly like a pair of Ls.
Thematrian1 (12:28:21 AM): Bow-boy is speaking to his men: "The drone's outside, but the van is a ways away. Get our people indoors, and we'll hold these two."
Thematrian1 (12:29:25 AM): The gunmen head out, save two, who approach Trickster and Rock respectively, and take you by the arms
Umbrafer (12:29:52 AM): (Damn. FIrst time we've actually fought someone with intel, I think.)
Dragcrell (12:30:09 AM): (ya shoudl be intresting)
MilesMk1 (12:30:15 AM): (Well, at the base, they had spirits snooping on us.)
Umbrafer (12:30:22 AM): (Yep)
Thematrian1 (12:30:30 AM): "Nunzio, go upstairs and cover my associate. If the rigger's alone, we'll have this wrapped up in five minutes."
Umbrafer (12:30:53 AM): (Here's to Ed being a willful and charismatic guy.)
MilesMk1 (12:31:15 AM): (Here's to Ed having an automatic shotgun, IIRC.)
Thematrian1 (12:31:19 AM): Squeaky-voice-guy leaves through one door, Bow-man through another. Trickster and Rock are led/dragged behind him, unless you act
Dragcrell (12:31:28 AM): (and lest hope a mage gets his ass on line soon)
Thematrian1 (12:31:46 AM): Alex: some gunmen have emerged from the building and are speaking with the guys watching the barricades
Umbrafer (12:32:02 AM): I have not heard a go-signal?
Dragcrell (12:32:14 AM): any chance of a shitf and run out the door?
Thematrian1 (12:32:17 AM): Blake hasn't made one, but he's been busy.
Thematrian1 (12:32:22 AM): you can try it
Dragcrell (12:32:45 AM): I well not like I don't have extras in the pack in the van :P
Umbrafer (12:32:50 AM): Well, I was wondering if he'd used a Speak A Word, what with his failure to quickly down the Troll. The answer appears to be no, I hold steady.
Dragcrell (12:33:06 AM): so I'll go for it
Thematrian1 (12:33:11 AM): The troll disengages, and steps into the hallway
Thematrian1 (12:33:34 AM): ok. The goon dragging you find himself holding an arm, then a furry arm, then nothing whatsoever
Thematrian1 (12:33:51 AM): He gibbers a bit, and does not attempt to catch you.
MilesMk1 (12:34:15 AM): (I still hoped to take the troll down quietly.)
Thematrian1 (12:34:31 AM): Blake, your troll is bellowing at the top of his lungs
Thematrian1 (12:35:00 AM): It's not a coherent word, as such, but the general message of "ALARM!" is nevertheless conveyed
Thematrian1 (12:35:07 AM): you have another action
MilesMk1 (12:35:10 AM): That's a pretty big mistake on his part, since he was only going to get shock-gloved before.
Thematrian1 (12:35:13 AM): Jeremy hasn't reacted to all this yet
Dragcrell (12:35:18 AM): ok I bah ha out of the area and try to get to the van
MilesMk1 (12:35:22 AM): Quickdraw my gun.
MilesMk1 (12:35:28 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 6 6 5 1 5 1 1 1 1
Thematrian1 (12:35:36 AM): Bow man stops walking for a sec, concentrating.
Thematrian1 (12:35:44 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 2 3 3 1 2 1 3 5 3 6 1 5 6 6
MilesMk1 (12:35:45 AM): Shoot the troll twice.
Thematrian1 (12:35:53 AM): Go for it
Umbrafer (12:35:57 AM): (Incidentally, in case it wasn't clear I was trying to stay outside of SMG range with the Strato—not going to try to keep clear of assault rifles, it isn't worth it)
MilesMk1 (12:36:01 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 6 5 4 4 2 1 3
Thematrian1 (12:36:06 AM): Bow-boy, out loud, to his man: "Don't worry about the shifter, it's taken care of."
Umbrafer (12:36:10 AM): (If that changes what any of the people who emerged took with them, so be it.)
MilesMk1 (12:36:14 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 6 6 4
Thematrian1 (12:36:24 AM): Alex: the gunmen, including the guys on the barricades, are all headed indoors
MilesMk1 (12:36:26 AM): That should be 7 and 6 successes.
MilesMk1 (12:36:33 AM): Wait...
MilesMk1 (12:36:37 AM): #Go!#
Umbrafer (12:36:42 AM): Well, I… thank you :)
Dragcrell (12:37:04 AM): Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 6 1 2 2 3 2 4
Thematrian1 (12:37:06 AM): Trickster, you hit the door just as some heavily armed men are stepping in. They're surprised to see you, not to mention baffled
Thematrian1 (12:37:16 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 5 2 5 4 2 4 3 1 6 3 6 4 6 1
EverGuard4 (12:37:54 AM): (sorry about that)
Thematrian1 (12:37:56 AM): They don't manage to stop you from getting onto the street.
Thematrian1 (12:38:10 AM): (A bit more and we're done, promise)
Thematrian1 (12:38:18 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 2 3 3 5 3 3 3 3 2 3 5 4 5 6
Thematrian1 (12:38:30 AM): Trickster, resist 18D
Umbrafer (12:38:44 AM): Owwwwwwwwwwwww.
Dragcrell (12:38:53 AM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 3
MilesMk1 (12:39:07 AM): Shit... Did they put up a ward?
Umbrafer (12:39:16 AM): No, he would've just crashed into it
Thematrian1 (12:39:32 AM): not exactly. Alex, you hear a rifle shot from one of the rooftops you scanned.
Umbrafer (12:39:34 AM): You need to be forced through to take damage like that
Thematrian1 (12:39:57 AM): Trickster does not soak. Regeneration?
Umbrafer (12:40:06 AM): If applicable, I dodge. If not, well…
Dragcrell (12:40:06 AM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (12:40:10 AM): …
Dragcrell (12:40:13 AM): >_<
MilesMk1 (12:40:14 AM): Damn it.
Umbrafer (12:40:18 AM): HoG!
Thematrian1 (12:40:38 AM): Trickster, will you expend your Hand of God?
Dragcrell (12:41:42 AM): na ^_^ I a back up so its all good
Thematrian1 (12:41:53 AM): so be it
MilesMk1 (12:41:56 AM): Well, you can still bring him in...
Thematrian1 (12:42:23 AM): Alex: with the strato you see something small, reddish, and furry streak onto the scene. Then you see it get splattered all over the road. Trickster is very still, and at the center of a spreading pool of blood
Thematrian1 (12:42:32 AM): it doens't look offhand like the sort of thing one regenerates from
Umbrafer (12:43:05 AM): In van: *Angry noises*
EverGuard4 (12:43:45 AM): (brb)
Thematrian1 (12:43:51 AM): Alex: since there was already one gunshot, you may contest initiative with the sniper before he shoot syour strato
Thematrian1 (12:44:00 AM): contest reaction, rather
MilesMk1 (12:44:03 AM): (You could HoG Trickster and sitll bring in the backup character...)
Umbrafer (12:44:47 AM): Umbrafer rolled 13 6-sided dice: 6 4 3 2 1 2 5 3 5 1 4 1 5
Umbrafer (12:44:51 AM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (12:45:00 AM): do wound modifiers apply to this?
Umbrafer (12:45:04 AM): Karma. Yes.
Thematrian1 (12:45:10 AM): ok, reroll 12
Thematrian1 (12:45:15 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 5 3 2 4 5 2 6 3 6 5 2 3 6 1
Umbrafer (12:45:19 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
Umbrafer (12:45:23 AM): Oops
Umbrafer (12:45:25 AM): Umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 1 1 5 5 3 3 6 1 4
Thematrian1 (12:45:34 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 2 4 3 5 5 6 4 1 5 1 1 4 3 3
Umbrafer (12:45:39 AM): Hm. Karma^2
Umbrafer (12:45:44 AM): Umbrafer rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 3 5 3 2 6 6 2 6 4
Umbrafer (12:45:51 AM): Six. Respectable.
Umbrafer (12:45:59 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
Thematrian1 (12:46:31 AM): very much so. But not quite enough. Strato, resist 15D
Umbrafer (12:46:47 AM): AV ammo?
Thematrian1 (12:46:57 AM): yep
Umbrafer (12:47:00 AM): Woah.
Umbrafer (12:47:16 AM): Umbrafer rolled 14 6-sided dice: 2 4 4 4 1 1 2 6 1 5 6 6 5 6
Umbrafer (12:47:24 AM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 2 1 4
Umbrafer (12:47:30 AM): No such luck.
Thematrian1 (12:48:02 AM): the strato falls from the sky. Rotor blades, sensors, weapons, they're all reporting garbage. Dump shock?
Thematrian1 (12:48:12 AM): Blake:
Umbrafer (12:48:15 AM): Digging for that now.
Thematrian1 (12:48:29 AM): you successfully shoot your troll twice. He's not shouting any more, more gurgling and collapsing
MilesMk1 (12:48:38 AM): (Oh, man, we've been suckered.)
Thematrian1 (12:48:58 AM): The strato hits the ground with a crash of delicate electronics. It's the last thing Trickster hears.
Thematrian1 (12:49:04 AM): See you on Thursday, or next week
MilesMk1 (12:49:12 AM): See you.
MilesMk1 (12:49:37 AM): (The hell was that? An assault cannon?)
Umbrafer (12:50:05 AM): (Nah, sniper rifle with AV rounds.)
MilesMk1 (12:50:55 AM): (How do you get a damage code of 18 with a sniper rifle loaded with AV rounds?)
Umbrafer (12:51:04 AM): Oh, wait, on Trickster.
Umbrafer (12:51:05 AM): No, the bow.
Umbrafer (12:51:13 AM): Bows are insane.
Umbrafer (12:51:19 AM): Well, maybe not the bow.
Umbrafer (12:51:21 AM): I don't know.
Umbrafer (12:51:25 AM): But the bow is a definite possibility.
Thematrian1 (12:51:48 AM): Actually, it's possible that that should only have been 14D, on Trickster.
Umbrafer (12:52:02 AM): *Digs for the wording on SNS*
Dragcrell (12:52:03 AM): ehhehehehe ya but still splater
MilesMk1 (12:52:42 AM): Do you have any armed drones left?
MilesMk1 (12:52:49 AM): Although...
MilesMk1 (12:53:00 AM): The dumpshock will probably knock Alex out, right?
Thematrian1 (12:53:13 AM): Alex has no stun on her condition montior
Umbrafer (12:53:14 AM): No chance of that, though I'll be mostly useless.
Thematrian1 (12:53:18 AM): Dumpshock only deals S, IIRC
Umbrafer (12:53:19 AM): Dump shock caps at S.
Umbrafer (12:53:30 AM): Well
Thematrian1 (12:53:34 AM): She'll be hating life, but she's not done for
Umbrafer (12:53:41 AM): I think if you get dumped from a UV host you can take D stun
MilesMk1 (12:54:12 AM): If she had no stun, why did she have those wound penalties? Hasn't Gedeon been casting something on her to reduce the pain (and the penalties?)
Umbrafer (12:54:17 AM): Ah, and I do get full willpower to resist disorientation. Good times.
Umbrafer (12:54:18 AM): She has.
Umbrafer (12:54:33 AM): From eight boxes (+3) to an effective five (+2)
Thematrian1 (12:54:39 AM): yes and yes. So her penalties are +2 instead of +3. On a TN 4 test...
Umbrafer (12:54:43 AM): He has, rather.
MilesMk1 (12:54:45 AM): (Ah.)
Umbrafer (12:54:56 AM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 6 2 1 4
Umbrafer (12:55:00 AM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (12:55:05 AM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (12:55:21 AM): I wonder if they overlooked me again, or do they have me "handled" as well.
Thematrian1 (12:55:30 AM): good grief. I hope you guys have some good luck sometime before the end of this encounter
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (12:55:34 AM): Disorientation much reduced, thankfully.
Umbrafer (12:55:41 AM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 6 4 2
Thematrian1 (12:55:44 AM): oh? What's the TN?
Umbrafer (12:55:50 AM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 1
Thematrian1 (12:55:54 AM): I just don't remember how disorientation works at all
Thematrian1 (12:55:59 AM): and you...do stage to M?
Dragcrell has entered the chat room.

Umbrafer (12:56:35 AM): TN 4, unadjusted by wound mods. I do indeed stage it to M, thankfully. Trying to decide whether to spend my last karma point trying to go to L.
Thematrian1 (12:56:48 AM): trying to?
Thematrian1 (12:56:53 AM): right, two successes
Thematrian1 (12:57:00 AM): I was thinking you could buy one, but no such luck
Umbrafer (12:57:11 AM): Actually, I cou… oh, yeah
Umbrafer (12:57:17 AM): But buying requires burning anyay
Umbrafer (12:57:19 AM): *way
Umbrafer (12:57:22 AM): So no good
Thematrian1 (12:57:24 AM): you need two, though, don't you?
Umbrafer (12:57:28 AM): I do
Thematrian1 (12:57:31 AM): oh, right
Umbrafer (12:57:33 AM): Hence the "oh, yeah"
MilesMk1 (12:58:03 AM): Well, hopefully Gedeon will be around next week.
Thematrian1 (12:58:50 AM): Yeah, that'd be helpful. I've fiated him to guarding the rigger, which could work out quite well for you
Umbrafer (12:58:52 AM): Indeed. I think that could have helped a lot. C'est la vie.
Umbrafer (12:58:58 AM): This is true as well.
MilesMk1 (12:59:13 AM): True.
Umbrafer (12:59:17 AM): Though the Rigger isn't nearly as useful as usual. Not even as useful as before.
Thematrian1 (12:59:21 AM): I'm not sure it would have. He'd have been inside with Rock and Trickster, and probably started a gunfight right there, with Bow-man
Thematrian1 (12:59:40 AM): that would have changed things, certainly, but I'm not sure how
Umbrafer (12:59:41 AM): He also would have been in a position to alert us to spirit activity.
Dragcrell (12:59:45 AM): lol ya I could see that one
MilesMk1 (12:59:49 AM): I just don't like my chances going up against the bow-man and who knows how many grunts.
Thematrian1 (12:59:54 AM): a cogent point
EverGuard4 (12:59:57 AM): ..
Umbrafer (1:00:00 AM): Rock and Trickster saw things, I think, but had no way of relaying.
Umbrafer (1:01:25 AM): Score!
Thematrian1 (1:01:31 AM): score?
MilesMk1 (1:01:31 AM): Score?
Dragcrell (1:01:39 AM): ^__
Umbrafer (1:01:40 AM): I'm still in bad shape, but the Resist Pain doesn't drop unless I take more Physical.
MilesMk1 (1:02:00 AM): Ah.
Thematrian1 (1:02:15 AM): good times
Umbrafer (1:02:19 AM): So I'm at +4 instead of +5. All varying levels of useless.
Umbrafer (1:02:29 AM): Unless I get a good line of fire and SEG…
Thematrian1 (1:02:33 AM): hey, that could be decisive
MilesMk1 (1:02:37 AM): You do have stim patches...
Umbrafer (1:02:52 AM): Very true.
MilesMk1 (1:03:31 AM): I just hope this damn sniper doesn't have a LOS to the van.
Umbrafer (1:03:38 AM): Doubt it.
Umbrafer (1:03:45 AM): He'd have to get pretty far to have it.
Umbrafer (1:03:51 AM): Damn. I can't use my range advantage without abandoning you people.
MilesMk1 (1:04:27 AM): Hopefully, Rock will finally come to realize just what exactly his magical powers are, and save us. :)
Umbrafer (1:04:28 AM): (MMGs outrange sniper rifles, so theoretically I could just pull way back and blast them from extreme range)
Umbrafer (1:05:06 AM): I need to get an assault cannon and start taking advantage of 2,400-meter ranges.
MilesMk1 (1:05:14 AM): (BTW, I demand you HoG Trickster even if you want to retire him - I have a thing about small furry animals dying.)
Umbrafer (1:05:36 AM): (Whereas my thinking is that having even one more thing to attract bullets could be decisive)
Thematrian1 (1:05:41 AM): The TN on that would be, what, 10?
MilesMk1 (1:05:58 AM): (I mean, it's bad RP *not* to HoG Trickster. He's too curious to just die. ;P)
Umbrafer (1:06:13 AM): 9, but SEG takes no range penalties. Also, magnification, so base 4 when not using SEG.
Dragcrell (1:06:26 AM): lol
Thematrian1 (1:06:36 AM): well, at least it's not 2 ;-)
EverGuard4 (1:06:54 AM): um...
EverGuard4 (1:06:56 AM): well...
EverGuard4 (1:07:00 AM): that'd be nice, wouldn't it?
MilesMk1 (1:07:02 AM): (He can go convalesce with Samantha, and be out of the picture.)
Umbrafer (1:07:55 AM): Take Aim :)
MilesMk1 (1:08:24 AM): Aw, man... I'm just glad I brought a grenade along.
Thematrian1 (1:08:41 AM): You finally had the grenades when you wanted them
Dragcrell (1:08:43 AM): ya tho you only have the one
Thematrian1 (1:08:53 AM): yeah, had the grenade
MilesMk1 (1:09:07 AM): Yeah, well... If I use it well, in an enclosed space...
Thematrian1 (1:10:02 AM): I don't think you can Chunky Salsa with a concussion grenade
Thematrian1 (1:10:15 AM): but yeah, some guys are in trouble, even if they don't know it yet
Dragcrell (1:10:48 AM): dont see why not the concushion wave would be contaned and rebound off the walls granted they hold
MilesMk1 (1:11:19 AM): Maybe not chunky salsa, but I'll settle for D stun.
Umbrafer (1:12:06 AM): You can
Umbrafer (1:12:14 AM): Actually, you'd get a better effect out of it
Umbrafer (1:12:40 AM): Standard grenades are mostly shrapnel in terms of damage, while concussion grenades are (almost) entirely blast
MilesMk1 (1:13:54 AM): I wonder...
MilesMk1 (1:14:20 AM): I think this must have been an opportunistic robbery attempt on their part...
Umbrafer (1:14:43 AM): ?
MilesMk1 (1:14:54 AM): This attack on us.
Umbrafer (1:15:05 AM): I got that part
Umbrafer (1:15:08 AM): Explain?
MilesMk1 (1:15:25 AM): If they realized that we planned to get the doctor out, they'd have taken me out first, while I was all by myself. I think.
MilesMk1 (1:15:35 AM): Rather than let me take out three of their men.
MilesMk1 (1:15:39 AM): People.
Umbrafer (1:16:11 AM): Mm. Hard to tell.
MilesMk1 (1:16:21 AM): Unless they have a spirit standing by to kill me, or something.
Umbrafer (1:16:31 AM): It may have been a response to our clearly hostile actions, alternately
Umbrafer (1:16:36 AM): It all happened once I lofted the Strat.
Umbrafer (1:16:38 AM): *Strato
MilesMk1 (1:16:53 AM): True.
MilesMk1 (1:17:02 AM): Bastard of a sniper...
Umbrafer (1:17:07 AM): Fortunately, I can use Alex's comparative spirit-ignorance as an excuse—I was just roleplaying ;)
Umbrafer (1:17:20 AM): That was my fault. I should have stayed below the rooftops.
MilesMk1 (1:17:39 AM): I was assuming Gedeon, though not there as such, would let us know about any spirit activity around the van. Maybe he failed his checks too.
Umbrafer (1:17:50 AM): Likewise.
MilesMk1 (1:18:02 AM): Oh well. See you guys later...
MilesMk1 (1:18:06 AM): Damn, it's late.
Thematrian1 (1:18:11 AM): whoops
Umbrafer (1:18:13 AM): *Waves*
MilesMk1 (1:18:16 AM): Night.
Thematrian1 (1:18:17 AM): guess it is at that
Thematrian1 (1:18:21 AM): sleep well, Matt
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (1:18:44 AM): I'm touched
Umbrafer (1:18:58 AM): ?
Thematrian1 (1:19:32 AM): that you guys would just assume I was rolling for Gedeon, hadn't lost track of him or what-have-you. I hadn't, but your reflexive faith is touching.
Umbrafer (1:19:46 AM): Hehehe

Thematrian1 (1:23:28 AM): well, I'd best go; I still need to walk home
Thematrian1 (1:23:31 AM): see you tomorrow
Umbrafer (1:23:36 AM): *Nods* Take care.
Umbrafer (1:23:39 AM): And good luck with the power.
Dragcrell (1:23:40 AM): ok have fun
