Thematrian1 (8:39:31 PM): sigh
Thematrian1 (8:39:41 PM): ok, when we left off, SC and SF were about to roll initiative
Thematrian1 (8:39:45 PM): Alex too, I think.
delioch (8:39:49 PM): ya
Thematrian1 (8:39:55 PM): Blake, sad to say, is still inside carrying heavy things
Dragcrell (8:40:04 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (8:40:08 PM): which reminds me: would whoever loses init please fill Matt in?

Umbrafer (8:41:00 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 5 6 1
delioch (8:41:02 PM): :-P
Umbrafer (8:41:28 PM): 24
Thematrian1 (8:41:49 PM): some nice initiatives tonight. Alex, you get to start us off.
delioch (8:41:52 PM): (we were sitting on top of the van)
Dragcrell (8:42:19 PM): (well you and the ork was I'm on the ground)
delioch (8:42:46 PM): (i know, thats what i ment)
MilesMk1 (8:42:48 PM): (We have an ork, now?)
Umbrafer (8:42:49 PM): Ork was on top of the van pulling something?
Umbrafer (8:42:54 PM): (We do.)
Thematrian1 (8:42:56 PM): he sure was
delioch (8:43:01 PM): (you lost so you feel him in)
Umbrafer (8:43:17 PM): No friendlies directly in front of the van?
delioch (8:43:19 PM): (fill)
MilesMk1 (8:43:20 PM): (...how much exactly did I miss? And why am I carrying heavy things?)
Dragcrell (8:43:37 PM): (by one point Elf boy)
Thematrian1 (8:43:39 PM): Alex: none
delioch (8:43:45 PM): :-P
Thematrian1 (8:43:46 PM): (Eh, lost is lost)
MilesMk1 (8:43:48 PM): (And, since we're rolling init - well, some of us... what did I do with my guns?)
Thematrian1 (8:44:22 PM): (You needed two free hands, but the Alpha's on a sling so you have that. Standard loadout, in fact, leaves both your hands free at need IIRC?)
MilesMk1 (8:44:24 PM): (could someone post a link to a log, or something?)
Umbrafer (8:44:30 PM): Then I would like to get the hell out of dodge. Or at least make the Ork very uncomfortable. Is the engine currently running?
Umbrafer (8:44:33 PM): (One moment)
Thematrian1 (8:44:54 PM): Alex: it is not, but you can start it with a Simple.
Umbrafer (8:45:14 PM): Mmk. Starting it with a Simple, deploying MMG turret with the other Simple.
Thematrian1 (8:45:29 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 6 2 1
Thematrian1 (8:45:31 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (8:45:38 PM): This worries.
Thematrian1 (8:46:17 PM): The turret deploys directly under your Ork. He shouts with surprise (Blake, roll hearing from indoors), and slides backwards off of it.
MilesMk1 (8:46:27 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 3 1 1 1 1
MilesMk1 (8:46:43 PM): Damn, these things sure are heavy...
Dragcrell (8:46:49 PM): how close am I to his landing spot?
Thematrian1 (8:46:56 PM): oof. There was some kind of noise outside.
MilesMk1 (8:47:08 PM): (You regenerate. If he falls on you, you'll be fine. Fill me in.)
MilesMk1 (8:47:19 PM): Ok... Where am I, and what am I adoing?
MilesMk1 (8:47:24 PM): doing
Thematrian1 (8:47:35 PM): SC: the turret is between the two of you.
Thematrian1 (8:47:46 PM): You're carrying something heavy to the van. Missiles, IIRC.
MilesMk1 (8:47:47 PM): #Did I hear something?#
Dragcrell (8:47:52 PM): (oh I know but I have a few opptions ahhhh -_-)
Umbrafer (8:47:55 PM): Missiles, yes.
delioch (8:47:57 PM): #yes#
Umbrafer (8:48:01 PM): #Orks with guns.@#
Umbrafer (8:48:03 PM): *#
MilesMk1 (8:48:20 PM): #Oh. Well, I better stay indoors, then.#
Umbrafer (8:48:37 PM): http://www.sotsw.net/runs/SotSW%2006-02-06.html
delioch (8:48:57 PM): #what?#
MilesMk1 (8:49:02 PM): I put down whatever I was carrying, ready my AK, and head for an exit, looking for targets.
delioch (8:49:31 PM): (is my turn yet?)
Thematrian1 (8:49:34 PM): the turret is between the ork and SF. Shadowcat, you're behind them.
Thematrian1 (8:49:39 PM): SF, go.
delioch (8:50:06 PM): (is he on his face or on his feet?)
Thematrian1 (8:50:36 PM): his butt, with a gun drawn and pointed in your general direction.
delioch (8:51:17 PM): i jump down on top of him pulling my ares viper
delioch (8:51:40 PM): delioch rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 5 4
delioch (8:51:50 PM): :-(
Thematrian1 (8:52:00 PM): no fast-draw holster?
delioch (8:52:56 PM): ummmm..... nope.. i'll just drop on him
delioch (8:53:24 PM): *mental note to self by new holsters*
Thematrian1 (8:54:02 PM): All right. Your right on top of the guy with the gun, next to the turret. SC, you're up.
Dragcrell (8:54:53 PM): one I unsheath the two long's
Thematrian1 (8:55:33 PM): ok. Your movement, if any?
delioch (8:55:39 PM): (you mean standing on him or next to him)
Dragcrell (8:55:59 PM): how far from the van am I?
Thematrian1 (8:56:07 PM): (next to; the turret sorta gets in your way. You could step on his foot or something if you wanted to)
delioch (8:56:23 PM): (naa)
Thematrian1 (8:56:33 PM): six meters
Dragcrell (8:57:32 PM): ok I just keep moveing to the van unill I can clear it with a decent jump
Thematrian1 (8:57:51 PM): done and done.
delioch (8:58:27 PM): "you may want to surander, no that i would but its a thought''
delioch (8:58:35 PM): (not)
Thematrian1 (8:59:06 PM): Shadow Fire: your new ork buddy scoots backward on his butt, firing at you.
Thematrian1 (8:59:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 6 1 6 5 3 1 1
Umbrafer (8:59:26 PM): (Should have stepped on his foot.)
MilesMk1 (8:59:30 PM): ...we might need a new elf.
MilesMk1 (8:59:35 PM): ;)
delioch (8:59:44 PM): i try to dodge
Umbrafer (9:00:01 PM): What's he using, pistol?
Dragcrell (9:00:12 PM): (na Elf's are a not that fragil tho Dwarfs and troll's are better)
delioch (9:00:24 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 5 4 5
delioch (9:00:30 PM): ya!
delioch (9:00:42 PM): (that was combet pool)
Umbrafer (9:00:53 PM): (That is customary for dodging, yes :) )
Thematrian1 (9:01:01 PM): You flatten yourself against the turret; the bullet stirs your hair as is passes you, but you're unharmed.
delioch (9:01:11 PM): (just saying, its been a while for me)
delioch (9:01:35 PM): "your sure you don't want to surander?"
Thematrian1 (9:01:37 PM): He fires again, still scooting.
Thematrian1 (9:01:50 PM): (Sadly, you can't talk that much in one three-second combat turn)
Thematrian1 (9:01:52 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 6 5 5 2 2 1 1
delioch (9:02:06 PM): (thats what i say the next 3 sec)
Thematrian1 (9:02:10 PM): (Ok)
delioch (9:02:36 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 3
delioch (9:02:47 PM): delioch rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (9:03:27 PM): you start to dodge away from the turret, but you're not fast enough. Resist 9S with ballistic armor, one leftover success.
Dragcrell (9:03:56 PM): (ouch)
delioch (9:04:27 PM): (i have a 6 bal so that should knock it down )
delioch (9:04:44 PM): roll-dice3-side6
Thematrian1 (9:04:46 PM): (All the way to 3S)
delioch (9:04:57 PM): delioch rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 2
delioch (9:05:04 PM): damn)
Umbrafer (9:05:22 PM): (You don't actually have to specify the -sides# option in Shadowrun--AIM defaults to d6s)
delioch (9:05:34 PM): ok
Dragcrell (9:05:51 PM): (ya that about sums up your situation right nicely)
Thematrian1 (9:05:55 PM): well, shit. There's a bullet in your lung. Your buddy is too busy scooting away to pay close attention to your injuries; he's going to fall off if he's not careful
Thematrian1 (9:06:25 PM): let's see.
Thematrian1 (9:06:29 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 1 6 6 1
Thematrian1 (9:06:32 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 2 4 4
Thematrian1 (9:06:35 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 2 4 3 5
Thematrian1 (9:07:43 PM): Alex: some bullets ricochet off of your van's armor.
Thematrian1 (9:08:30 PM): Alex, you're up
delioch (9:08:48 PM): (now i wish i took that contract with docwagon)
Thematrian1 (9:09:04 PM): (DocWagon isn't honoring contracts inside Chicago right now)
delioch (9:09:18 PM): (double-damn)
Dragcrell (9:09:20 PM): (^_^)
MilesMk1 (9:09:34 PM): (delioch: No karma? No more combat pool?)
Umbrafer (9:10:13 PM): To be clear: where is everyone in relation to the van?
Thematrian1 (9:10:26 PM): Alex: there are four or five humanoid shapes standing behind trash cans or dumpsters, firing on the van
Umbrafer (9:10:34 PM): In particular I want to know about people who are on top of it, in front of it, or have limbs underneath it that I know of.
Thematrian1 (9:11:07 PM): Ok. There's the van, facing away from your apartment building. There's SC, between the van and the building. There's SF, on top. There's Spokesork, on top. That's the lot.
delioch (9:11:35 PM): (no combat pool left, and i don't think i have any karma)
Umbrafer (9:11:40 PM): #Hang on or jump off.# Acceleration test.
Thematrian1 (9:11:41 PM): (You start with 1)
Umbrafer (9:12:01 PM): Umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 5 2 3 6 1 2
delioch (9:12:06 PM): (i have 1)
delioch (9:12:32 PM): (*crap, the vans moving*)
Thematrian1 (9:12:49 PM): oh, Alex, there's one other guy. He's walking laterally to the van, slim, with dirty clothes. Unlike everyone else involved he's not wearing gang sign, and he's making dubious "I'm not with these assholes"
Thematrian1 (9:12:53 PM): motions in their general direction
Umbrafer (9:12:58 PM): Hehehe
Thematrian1 (9:13:20 PM): human and white, I should mention, also unlike the bulk of the force assaulting you
MilesMk1 (9:14:01 PM): (I strongly suggest you petition to use your karma retroactively, based on the fact you didn't know you had any, and would have of course tried to save yourself from a 9S wound. :))
Umbrafer (9:14:07 PM): (18 meters/turn)
MilesMk1 (9:14:18 PM): (And, no more CP? I thought I only saw you use 6 dice.)
Thematrian1 (9:14:19 PM): (Right, but what would he karma? 3 dice on 3S isn't great odds)
Umbrafer (9:14:24 PM): No parasols?
Umbrafer (9:14:32 PM): (If anything, the dodge roll.)
Thematrian1 (9:14:33 PM): no parasols
MilesMk1 (9:14:33 PM): (He only needs to roll 3s.)
delioch (9:14:36 PM): (can i do that- would that save me?)
MilesMk1 (9:14:50 PM): (He could soak it to M, which I can fix to L)
delioch (9:15:00 PM): (cp:6)
Thematrian1 (9:15:18 PM): (You could reroll your 3-dice body test. With 2 or more 3s, you'd soak it to M, and then get first aid'd to L)
Thematrian1 (9:15:23 PM): The van roars forward.
Thematrian1 (9:15:25 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 1 5 2 2 4
Thematrian1 (9:15:28 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 4 3 4
delioch (9:15:57 PM): (ok, i'll do that)
delioch (9:16:18 PM): delioch rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 1 6
Thematrian1 (9:16:22 PM): spokesork goes flying; SF must roll Reaction(4) or fall to his hands and knees (still on the van, mind you; you have the turret to grab for stability)
Thematrian1 (9:16:24 PM): nice
delioch (9:16:26 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 4
MilesMk1 (9:16:30 PM): (Ah... Sorry, my perceptions of what constitutes a normal combat pool are skewed from playing Blake, the short damage sponge)
delioch (9:16:52 PM): counts as a surpise so..
MilesMk1 (9:16:56 PM): (Hey, you soaked to M)
delioch (9:17:00 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 5 4 4 6
delioch (9:17:06 PM): delioch rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
delioch (9:17:10 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 1
delioch (9:17:22 PM): (nagate that one
Thematrian1 (9:17:25 PM): easily done. You sway, but keep your feet. Honestly, you could have managed even without Alex's warning, you think.
delioch (9:17:29 PM): delioch rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
delioch (9:17:49 PM): *i hope more like it*
Thematrian1 (9:18:04 PM): Speaking of Shadow Fire, it's his turn. SF, you're standing on a moving van, and the ribs under your heart hurt like hell.
Thematrian1 (9:18:17 PM): The bullet doesn't seem to have penetrated, though. Lucky break.
delioch (9:18:18 PM): (hows the wound doc, is it bad. i'm i going to make it?)
Thematrian1 (9:18:35 PM): The odd man out waves in a friendly fashion.
MilesMk1 (9:18:43 PM): BTW, do I get to go at some point?
Thematrian1 (9:19:07 PM): at the beginning of the next combat turn, you roll init. You'll be at the doors then, so it works out.
MilesMk1 (9:19:08 PM): (not that I'm in a rush, I have a shopping list to formulate)
delioch (9:19:33 PM): i pull out the vipers and try to lay on my stomic so i wont be a easy target on top of the moving vehical
Thematrian1 (9:19:55 PM): Easily done. Grabbing the turret or anything, or just hanging free?
delioch (9:20:27 PM): where on the van is the turrent. front ,back, mid?
Thematrian1 (9:20:37 PM): mid
Umbrafer (9:20:42 PM): (Be warned that if they bring out any meaningful artillery I may have to start dodging.)
delioch (9:20:59 PM): i'll hold on to that with the left hand/arm
Thematrian1 (9:21:13 PM): check
Umbrafer (9:21:15 PM): (Also be warned, though your character may not think of this immediately, that the turret is likely to be moving fairly quickly soon.)
delioch (9:21:30 PM): :-(<-not going to enjoy this ride
Thematrian1 (9:21:56 PM): (Hey, how many runners can say they've been van-surfing?)
delioch (9:21:57 PM): i'll try to figure something out
delioch (9:22:13 PM): one werewolf in the 80"s
MilesMk1 (9:22:16 PM): (grab the edge of the hatch instead of the turret, and hold on for dear life)
delioch (9:22:30 PM): (wait theres a hatch)
Thematrian1 (9:22:38 PM): Heh. In that case, we move on to Shadow Cat. SC, the spokesork is two meters away and not facing you. There are four or five other guys shooting 50 meters away, but not at you, yet
Thematrian1 (9:22:42 PM): (Wait, there's a hatch?)
Umbrafer (9:23:11 PM): (There's a hatch?"
delioch (9:23:12 PM): (frak that, i'll hold on to that)
MilesMk1 (9:23:13 PM): (Well, presumably, as the turret pops up, there's an opening in the roof)
Umbrafer (9:23:13 PM): *)
Umbrafer (9:23:22 PM): (Oh, that)
MilesMk1 (9:23:38 PM): (Not really a hatch, sorry.)
MilesMk1 (9:23:55 PM): (But "turret hole" just doesn't sound very technical.)
delioch (9:23:57 PM): (still something more stable though)
Dragcrell (9:26:27 PM): ok I thorw both the Longs at Spokesork
Thematrian1 (9:26:33 PM): (Right)
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:28:07 PM): The oddball guy waves, looking at Shadow Cat

delioch (9:33:13 PM): (what did you do......)
Thematrian1 (9:33:19 PM): (Getting there)
Thematrian1 (9:34:08 PM): Shadowcat throws her two long knives into the back of the spokesork's neck. He didn't even know she was there, and by the look on his face he never quite figured it out.
Thematrian1 (9:34:55 PM): The oddball is still waving atyou.
delioch (9:35:03 PM): (hey, i told him to surender)
Dragcrell (9:35:16 PM): (he did I just helped him is all)
delioch (9:35:57 PM): ( i think the word your looking for is...sundering)
Dragcrell (9:36:36 PM): (well beheading would have been nicer but this works just as well ^_^)

Dragcrell (9:38:24 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 1 6 2 5 3

Thematrian1 (9:38:55 PM): were those soak rolls or what?
Thematrian1 (9:39:08 PM): If so, you're soaking 9S before armor, twice
Dragcrell (9:39:21 PM): that was soke
delioch (9:39:29 PM): (it really is deguesting, at least use a toothpick)
MilesMk1 (9:39:57 PM): (Would you people stop getting hurt?)
Umbrafer (9:40:17 PM): (Crap, I keep forgetting she isn't Trickster.)
delioch (9:40:20 PM): *looks at feet, *sorry
MilesMk1 (9:40:26 PM): (Oh, never mind, she does heal fast.)
Dragcrell (9:40:27 PM): (What?)
Umbrafer (9:40:30 PM): (Poor lad)
MilesMk1 (9:40:48 PM): (Never mind, you can get shot, a little. SF, stop it.)
Thematrian1 (9:40:49 PM): Ok, enough of this. Alex, you have a third action and then it's time for new initiatives.
Thematrian1 (9:40:56 PM): (Hey, hey)
Umbrafer (9:41:08 PM): There were five guys behind trash cans?
Thematrian1 (9:41:26 PM): Six, now, but yeah
Umbrafer (9:41:47 PM): *Nods* Well, I'm going to pick a closely-spaced group and let them have it. Three targets, 3-3-4.
Thematrian1 (9:41:59 PM): part of SC's neck explodes, she hits the pavement, bleeding profusely.
Umbrafer (9:42:02 PM): Also taking my free acceleration.

Thematrian1 (9:48:00 PM): and with that, we're done with the Turn. New initiative, and Blake gets to play.
delioch (9:48:12 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 5
Thematrian1 (9:48:14 PM): oddball is still waving in a friendly way
delioch (9:48:31 PM): 15
MilesMk1 (9:48:32 PM): He's their mage, and will kill us all unless we get him first.
Dragcrell (9:48:33 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 5 6 4
Thematrian1 (9:48:50 PM): Blake: you reach the doorway. You're carrying some missiles, and see Shadow Cat out in the street, face down in a pool of blood
delioch (9:48:54 PM): (i really don't think so)
Dragcrell (9:48:57 PM): damn 24 ^_^
Umbrafer (9:48:59 PM): (Sorry, had to rescue a pepper plant. 12D after burst mod.)
Thematrian1 (9:49:05 PM): (Rescue?)
MilesMk1 (9:49:17 PM): Actually, I did say I was putting down the missiles and readying the AK as I went.
Umbrafer (9:49:23 PM): (Yeah. They're accustomed to hot, dryish weather and it's cold and wet right now.)
Thematrian1 (9:49:37 PM): Did you? Fair enough. You have your AK. SC is still down, though. The van is accelerating away from you.
delioch (9:49:39 PM): (oh)
MilesMk1 (9:49:58 PM): Can I see the source of SC's discomfort?
MilesMk1 (9:50:10 PM): #Targets?#
Thematrian1 (9:50:11 PM): curiously, no. She seems to be in perfectly good health to you.
delioch (9:50:25 PM): #6 in the alley#
MilesMk1 (9:50:26 PM): I meant the shooters. ;)
Thematrian1 (9:50:32 PM): Oh.
MilesMk1 (9:50:52 PM): That's what we get for our pretensions of eloquence. ;)
Thematrian1 (9:51:03 PM): Yeah. There are five between 40 and 50 meters down the street, firing from around alley corners, over dumpsters, and behind trash cans.
Thematrian1 (9:51:11 PM): (There were six, but Alex's gunnery disposed of one)
delioch (9:51:29 PM): (i reaaly can see from where i am)
MilesMk1 (9:51:37 PM): I take cover behind the doorframe, and say hi to them with an airburst grenade.
Thematrian1 (9:51:44 PM): (Yeah, you have the best view, even if it is going by pretty quickly)
delioch (9:51:58 PM): (that and the turrents there)
MilesMk1 (9:52:14 PM): Firing:
MilesMk1 (9:52:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 2 5 2 2 1 4
MilesMk1 (9:52:21 PM): ...
MilesMk1 (9:52:24 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (9:53:00 PM): oh, and there's a tall dark-haired guy waving in a friendly and non-threatening way.
MilesMk1 (9:53:09 PM): Next to them?
Thematrian1 (9:53:21 PM): Same general area. The middle of the street, where they're at the edges
delioch (9:53:41 PM): (i hope someone waves back soon)
Thematrian1 (9:53:42 PM): When he sees you fire, he breaks into a sudden sprint.
MilesMk1 (9:54:03 PM): Ah. Well, let's hope I was accurate... and that is a defensive greande.
MilesMk1 (9:54:24 PM): if he can get 8 meters from impact, he's fine.
Thematrian1 (9:54:29 PM): Ok. There are two clusters of two and a cluster of one that you can favor: Trash Can Man, the Dumpster Duo, and the two in the alleyway
MilesMk1 (9:54:47 PM): I favor whoever has the worst cover. ;)
Thematrian1 (9:54:47 PM): (They were the dumpster trio, but Alex helped them out with their alliteration)
delioch (9:54:48 PM): lol
MilesMk1 (9:55:34 PM): and/or whoever makes it least likely I kill Oddball.
Thematrian1 (9:56:03 PM): the alley guys make sense, then; there's always the chance that you land the grenade in the dumpster, where it does no good whatsoever
MilesMk1 (9:56:12 PM): ok
Dragcrell (9:56:22 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 1 2 5
Dragcrell (9:56:27 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:56:40 PM): BTW, I can fire again, but I'm waiting for the effects of the first one.
Thematrian1 (9:56:45 PM): right
Thematrian1 (9:56:47 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 4 2 6
Thematrian1 (9:56:49 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 3 3 5
MilesMk1 (9:56:57 PM): 15S, BTW.
Thematrian1 (9:57:12 PM): They dive further into the alley for cover. Your grenade goes off and you hear a scream; it's hard to say how badly they're hurt
Thematrian1 (9:57:15 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 1 5 2 4 6 1
Thematrian1 (9:57:17 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 1 2 2 4 6 2 5
MilesMk1 (9:57:56 PM): I'll shoot one of the other ones with a 3-round burst.
Thematrian1 (9:58:11 PM): ok. They have cover but are in your Short range
MilesMk1 (9:58:13 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 1 5 4 2 4 1
MilesMk1 (9:58:17 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (9:58:23 PM): grr
Thematrian1 (9:58:41 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 3 3 1
Thematrian1 (9:58:45 PM): code on that?
Thematrian1 (9:58:51 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 6 2 5 4
MilesMk1 (9:58:53 PM): Carry the two...
Thematrian1 (9:58:54 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:59:02 PM): 8+3+2... 13S
Thematrian1 (9:59:42 PM): how unfortunate for him. The Dumpster Duo becomes the Dumpster Solo as one half of the team sinks out of sight.
Thematrian1 (10:00:10 PM): Hm. Not the best time to be asking this, I know, but did Blake ever roll initiative?
MilesMk1 (10:00:17 PM): Oh, damn.
MilesMk1 (10:00:22 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 4
MilesMk1 (10:00:25 PM): 20
Dragcrell (10:00:45 PM): (ROFL)
Thematrian1 (10:00:46 PM): how about Alex, did she? I saw SF an dSC
Dragcrell (10:00:55 PM): (nope ^_^)
delioch (10:01:06 PM): (haha)
Thematrian1 (10:01:12 PM): Shadowcat picks herself up and sprints across the street toward an alley
Umbrafer (10:01:30 PM): Eep
Umbrafer (10:01:32 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 2
Umbrafer (10:01:37 PM): I must have missed the call.
Umbrafer (10:01:43 PM): 23.
Thematrian1 (10:02:28 PM): Ok. You go after Blake because...because.
Thematrian1 (10:02:34 PM): Anyway, it's Alex's action now.
Umbrafer (10:02:38 PM): I… held an action for something shiny.
Umbrafer (10:02:49 PM): Second verse, same as the first. Or maybe the third line of the first verse.
Thematrian1 (10:02:57 PM): Hm. You do need to make one decision
Dragcrell (10:03:02 PM): #oddball friendly mage#
Umbrafer (10:03:09 PM): Decision?
Thematrian1 (10:03:11 PM): You were accelerating away from your apartment, so you're approaching the opposite building
Thematrian1 (10:03:18 PM): you need to turn toward or away from your attackers
Umbrafer (10:03:31 PM): Ah yes. Hm.
delioch (10:03:37 PM): (please don't run into the building)
Thematrian1 (10:03:54 PM): yeah, SF would not come out well if you ram something, regardless of what you get on the Crash test
Thematrian1 (10:03:58 PM): just so we're clear on that
MilesMk1 (10:04:01 PM): #Is he ok?#
Thematrian1 (10:04:10 PM): (brb)
Umbrafer (10:04:19 PM): I assume that applies only to heavy or tall things?
delioch (10:04:22 PM): =-O
Dragcrell (10:04:28 PM): (lol ya that might hurt him more then what he all ready is ^_^)
Umbrafer (10:04:58 PM): Well, there's nothing quite like hurtling into unknown territory. Towards. Please let me know when I'm about to pass into areas covered by large unseen angles (dumpsters, alleys, etc.), as I would like to hold an action going into t
Umbrafer (10:04:59 PM): *them
Thematrian1 (10:08:05 PM): indeed. You turn. SF, roll Reaction(4) to stay on the van.
Thematrian1 (10:08:11 PM): You're traveling at, what 18 MPT right now?
delioch (10:08:35 PM): (do i add lightning reflex?)
Umbrafer (10:08:42 PM): 24.
Umbrafer (10:08:51 PM): Free acceleration.
Thematrian1 (10:09:02 PM): (Yes)
delioch (10:09:08 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 4 3 3 4
Thematrian1 (10:09:17 PM): Ah, indeed.
delioch (10:09:22 PM): (good-bye everone)
MilesMk1 (10:09:35 PM): (Leaving?)
Thematrian1 (10:09:40 PM): You manage to hang on to the turret. The van is picking up speed, though.
Dragcrell (10:09:54 PM): (^_^ hehehe)
delioch (10:10:01 PM): =-O(no i'll probable just fall of a speeding vehical)
Thematrian1 (10:10:06 PM): (I think it's more a general comment on his situation)
Thematrian1 (10:10:32 PM): Alex: oddball is waving at you now
Thematrian1 (10:10:36 PM): or at least, at the van.
MilesMk1 (10:10:36 PM): (You could always let Alex know you're in trouble, she can probably make it easier for you.)
Thematrian1 (10:10:51 PM): speaking of Shadow Fire, it looks like he's up
delioch (10:11:40 PM): #i'm still on the roof# i'll fire at one of the gangers with my one viper(whcih has smartlink)
Thematrian1 (10:11:58 PM): Ok, go for it
delioch (10:12:00 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 3
Thematrian1 (10:12:35 PM): You fire, but your slivers ricochet uselessly off of his shielding trash can
Umbrafer (10:12:57 PM): #Hang on tight#
delioch (10:13:39 PM): *i hate today*
delioch (10:13:53 PM): i think as i try to hold on
Umbrafer (10:13:57 PM): (Look on the bright side—your lungs are a lead-free zone.
Umbrafer (10:13:59 PM): *)
Thematrian1 (10:14:02 PM): Several more ganger types break cover, but they're fleeing rather than fighting.
delioch (10:14:26 PM): (true)
MilesMk1 (10:15:05 PM): #Do you think the waving guy wants to talk?#
Umbrafer (10:16:28 PM): #Maybe. I'd sure like to talk to him when this is through#
Thematrian1 (10:16:53 PM): ok. Second actions. SC continues to sprint for her alley. Alex is still holding her action. Blake
Thematrian1 (10:16:55 PM): ?
Umbrafer (10:17:37 PM): Was there anything in the unseen angles?
MilesMk1 (10:17:38 PM): Targets?
MilesMk1 (10:18:11 PM): Or, more accurately, anyone still pointing guns at us?
Thematrian1 (10:18:12 PM): No. Targets are between 15 and 25 meters away from the van. Blake you still have a van man and the trash can man
Thematrian1 (10:18:13 PM): er
Thematrian1 (10:18:16 PM): a dumpster guy
MilesMk1 (10:18:41 PM): dumpster and trash can?
MilesMk1 (10:18:50 PM): Ok, they each get a 3-round burst.
Thematrian1 (10:18:56 PM): go for it
MilesMk1 (10:18:57 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 1 2 4 3 1
MilesMk1 (10:19:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 6 6 1 2
Thematrian1 (10:19:04 PM): The trash can does not count as cover against your assault rifle
MilesMk1 (10:19:05 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 5
MilesMk1 (10:19:28 PM): Mhmm... Well, I suppose I can't say the first one was the trash can guy, can I? ;)
Thematrian1 (10:19:37 PM): heh, no
MilesMk1 (10:19:50 PM): Well, so one dies.
Thematrian1 (10:19:55 PM): heh, maybe not
Thematrian1 (10:19:57 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 2 6 6 6
Thematrian1 (10:20:16 PM): nope. The guy behind the trash can hits the dirt; your bullets never touch him.
MilesMk1 (10:20:26 PM): Lucky SOB.
Thematrian1 (10:20:30 PM): meanwhile, the oddball is gesturing like a man trying to wave down a taxi
Umbrafer (10:21:00 PM): Hmf. How many targets remain visible?
Thematrian1 (10:21:23 PM): one
Umbrafer (10:21:46 PM): I will, if possible, break off and head for the oddball, decelerating as I go.
delioch (10:22:29 PM): *oh thank god we're slowing down*
Thematrian1 (10:22:34 PM): ok. Decceleration test, or the old fashioned way?
Umbrafer (10:22:49 PM): Depends on how close I am to him.
Thematrian1 (10:23:38 PM): 20 meters
Umbrafer (10:23:44 PM): Yeah, deceleration test.
Umbrafer (10:23:47 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 6 1 6
Umbrafer (10:23:52 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 6 3
Umbrafer (10:23:55 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (10:24:03 PM): 12 MPT slower.
Umbrafer (10:24:06 PM): Also:
Umbrafer (10:24:08 PM): #Hang on#
Thematrian1 (10:24:10 PM): he hurries up toward you
Umbrafer (10:24:14 PM): In the other order, preferably
Thematrian1 (10:24:19 PM): heh, sure
Thematrian1 (10:24:33 PM): the remaining gangers drop their weapons and flee
MilesMk1 (10:25:36 PM): Does that include the ones by the dumpster/trash can I was shooting at?
Thematrian1 (10:25:39 PM): yes
Umbrafer (10:25:41 PM): I wonder if this is what they meant when they said they were going places.
Dragcrell (10:25:54 PM): lol
delioch (10:25:55 PM): (i guess so)
Thematrian1 (10:27:08 PM): we're out of initiative. Now what?
MilesMk1 (10:27:28 PM): They're lucky it was us (in a kind mood) they were dealing with.
Umbrafer (10:27:29 PM): Rolling on up to the oddball.
delioch (10:27:41 PM): i wait until i can get off this crazy ride
Umbrafer (10:28:11 PM): This is nothing. You should be on this thing during high-speed vehicle combat.
Thematrian1 (10:28:22 PM): The van rolls to a stop, right next to the oddball. He's holding a straight razor, you can now notice.
delioch (10:28:33 PM): i'll wait until i have magnegic boots
CirclMastr has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (10:28:40 PM): SF: the ride is over.
Dragcrell (10:28:50 PM): *walks back to the one ork and retreaves her Longs not being to gental about doing it and then pilfers the body and then goes and checks out the gangs hinding spots*
MilesMk1 (10:29:00 PM): I get into a good firing position covering the street, and watch for any more trouble.
Thematrian1 (10:29:08 PM): check
delioch (10:29:09 PM): i roll off and land cat like on the raod mumbling about stable ground
Thematrian1 (10:29:28 PM): SC: you're in an alley. Now what?
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (10:29:50 PM): doh
delioch (10:30:02 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (10:30:04 PM): SC's investigating behind the dumpster. Van and oddball are side by side.
Thematrian1 (10:30:09 PM): now what?
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

delioch (10:30:37 PM): #was it me or was there a guy that was standing around in the middle of the road during that#
Umbrafer (10:30:46 PM): #Other side of the van.#
Umbrafer (10:30:53 PM): I examine this man.
Umbrafer (10:30:56 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 3 4 1 6 3
Umbrafer (10:30:58 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (10:31:01 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 5 4
Dragcrell has entered the chat room.

delioch (10:31:20 PM): #what ,did you run him over# i get up and walk around the van
MilesMk1 (10:31:28 PM): #Hah.#
Dragcrell (10:31:28 PM): (*sigh* bloody dame esc key)
Thematrian1 (10:31:36 PM): Shadow Fire, please describe yourself for the benefit of the newcomer.
delioch (10:31:46 PM): ok
CirclMastr (10:32:30 PM): Pretty dirty. About six feet, maybe a hair less, slim build, pretty worn clothes with armor vest over them. Short dirty brown hair, causasian, human.
MilesMk1 (10:33:14 PM): Does he look dirty because of the circumstances, or the sort of ingrained "hobo" dirty?
CirclMastr (10:33:22 PM): Circumstances
Umbrafer (10:33:42 PM): (Hobo!)
delioch (10:33:45 PM): -5'8'' elf with short messy flame red hair. black combat fatgue pants, black long coat, and ff armor(no shirt). i seem to a look a profound amusment to my eyes and the corners of my mouth-which is almost always in a smile-
Thematrian1 (10:35:05 PM): Right now, I expect his expression is slightly shocky ;-)
delioch (10:35:27 PM): its stuck like this>=-O
CirclMastr (10:35:28 PM): "Hey, thank god you stopped, those guys were fucking freaks!"
MilesMk1 (10:35:51 PM): (Working at a hospital catering to a lot of elderly (and often eccentric) patients has made me familiar (thanks to people you run into in elevators) with just about every form of dirty.)
delioch (10:36:23 PM): (i can carpets... i know dirt)
delioch (10:36:29 PM): (clean)
Dragcrell (10:36:35 PM): *just growls as they move about*
MilesMk1 (10:37:02 PM): *gives up his overwatch, and jogs over, staying alert*
delioch (10:37:15 PM): "so whats up?"
delioch (10:37:27 PM): looks towards alex
CirclMastr (10:37:31 PM): "Can I join up with you guys? I need to get out of this hellhole."
CirclMastr (10:37:46 PM): (I was sorely tempted to open with "Hey, you guys must be the party!")
Thematrian1 (10:38:19 PM): (Strangely enough, you'd have fit right in)
delioch (10:38:20 PM): "did someone tell"
Umbrafer (10:38:21 PM): #Oh god, not another one.# (Private channel to Blake, natch)
CirclMastr (10:39:38 PM): "Tell what? You guys have this van, don't you? We need to get out of here!"
MilesMk1 (10:39:43 PM): #SC said he was a mage. Mages are useful. Though it helps when they're not crazy, standing around in the middle of a firefight, trying to flag down an armored truck with a straigh razor.#
delioch (10:40:47 PM): "no one told you...... well, then nothing..all roads closed going out of the city. i should know i just got here"
CirclMastr (10:41:05 PM): "...You're fucking kidding me."
MilesMk1 (10:41:36 PM): "I'm sure you can appreciate the difficulties involved giving a complete stranger a lift in the middle of all this. Especially when they wave around a razor..."
delioch (10:41:50 PM): i smile broadly"nope.. i jumped the wall... killed a guard, but it doesn't count as murder"
MilesMk1 (10:41:52 PM): "No, if they weren't, we'd have been out of here days ago."
CirclMastr (10:42:00 PM): (Having one in my pocket hardly counts as "waving around")
MilesMk1 (10:42:16 PM): (GM said you were waving one around before...)
MilesMk1 (10:42:20 PM): (Blame him. :))
Thematrian1 (10:42:26 PM): (No, just that he had one. Also, god dammit)
CirclMastr (10:42:26 PM): (He lies, I never did any such thing)
MilesMk1 (10:42:34 PM): If you put it away, scratch that part of my post.
CirclMastr (10:42:42 PM): (I never had it out.)
MilesMk1 (10:42:55 PM): (Ok.)
Thematrian1 (10:43:15 PM): (Yeah, I fucked up.)
MilesMk1 (10:43:16 PM): (Ignore everything after "this", in that case.)
delioch (10:43:24 PM): roll perception to see if i see any weapons on this guy...(i'm not worried about a razor)
CirclMastr (10:43:25 PM): "I know it's a lot to ask, but I can pay you. And I'll be glad to help out however I can."
delioch (10:43:34 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 1 6 5
delioch (10:44:12 PM): "pay"i perk up" sure sure.. hold on a sec as i calculator it out for a moment"
delioch (10:45:01 PM): #hey, he could be usefull at the tower#
delioch (10:45:19 PM): delioch rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (10:45:36 PM): B:#Too many new faces. I don't like it one bit, even if Eagle has left the city.#
MilesMk1 (10:45:36 PM): "Hold, on, hold on... I know you need a ride, but you do understand what you're getting into, here?" *points at the MMG turret, and assorted other highly illegal weaponry*
Umbrafer (10:46:28 PM): Speaking of which, I am going to retract the MMG turret.
delioch (10:46:32 PM): "lets say 1000 neuyen"
Thematrian1 (10:46:35 PM): whirrr
CirclMastr (10:46:53 PM): "Yeah, you're runners. Definitely not syndicate, look too varied for that..."
CirclMastr (10:47:00 PM): "One thousand? Done."
Thematrian1 (10:47:14 PM): Alex's meat body is still inside her apartment, IIRC.
delioch (10:47:25 PM): *damn should have charged more*"i take care of all the money"
Umbrafer (10:47:28 PM): This is true.
Umbrafer (10:47:32 PM): I suspect she's forgotten that.
Umbrafer (10:48:05 PM): Hopefully one of the others will remember.
CirclMastr (10:48:12 PM): *pulls out a certified stick and holds it out to the elf*
delioch (10:48:19 PM): i wait pamiantly for the yen
MilesMk1 (10:48:21 PM): "What are you charging tha man for? Last I checked, we were giving you a ride, too." *bemused grin*
MilesMk1 (10:48:31 PM): "More or less..."
delioch (10:48:34 PM): "thank you" puts into pocket
delioch (10:48:48 PM): "i payed in info"
CirclMastr (10:48:53 PM): (Fuck it all... brb)
delioch (10:49:14 PM): i smile brightly at the new guest
Umbrafer (10:49:46 PM): #That gets you one seat. You want to sell it to someone else, that's your business.#
delioch (10:50:29 PM): # fine, you want the cash#
MilesMk1 (10:50:47 PM): #What do we need a K for, in the middle of all this?#
Umbrafer (10:50:54 PM): (She's totally lying, by the way)
delioch (10:51:03 PM): # we are not staying#
delioch (10:51:31 PM): #and seattle is not cheap#
MilesMk1 (10:51:51 PM): #Yeah, we're not, but one thousand nuyen, divided four ways, is about enough to cover the dinner I'm going to eat if I get out of this place.#
delioch (10:51:55 PM): "hey, where cat go?"
delioch (10:52:22 PM): # i didn't think he had it to tell the truth#
Thematrian1 (10:52:32 PM): SC is rummaging through the belongings of the corpses on the field of battle.
delioch (10:52:40 PM): oh
MilesMk1 (10:52:43 PM): #Besides, if he's a mage, he has skills that're worth a lot more to us than money.#
delioch (10:53:02 PM): #true#
MilesMk1 (10:53:19 PM): #Fair enough... Now why don't you give the nice man back his money, and we'll see if he has something to offer in our upcoming... operation.#
delioch (10:55:14 PM): "here, i was told to give this back" i say with cred stick in hand
delioch (10:55:34 PM): (i hope he gets back soon)
Thematrian1 (10:56:34 PM): (So plot amongst yourself)
CirclMastr (10:56:43 PM): (Back, sorry)
delioch (10:56:54 PM): #so are we heading out to the tower?#
delioch (10:57:04 PM): i look at the new mage,"so let me ask you a question, do you know anything about infiltrating past magical security?"
delioch (10:57:31 PM): "elemental, charms, curses that sort of thing?"
CirclMastr (10:57:55 PM): *takes the stick back* "What? No, I'm a physical adept."
CirclMastr (10:58:20 PM): "I've got a weapon for spirits and elementals, that's about it."
MilesMk1 (10:58:35 PM): "Very hand in Chicago, right about now."
MilesMk1 (10:58:37 PM): handy
delioch (10:58:45 PM): turns away and finds a seat next to the van"damn, couldn't have been a mage"
MilesMk1 (10:59:07 PM): "Ok, here's our situation..."
delioch (10:59:21 PM): "do you need the maps for this?"
MilesMk1 (10:59:30 PM): "We're very interested in getting out of Chicago, but we're likely to make a couple of stops along the way."
MilesMk1 (11:00:03 PM): "Which, as you might imagine, given the climate here, can be dangerous."
delioch (11:00:15 PM): " i think there are only two more left"
CirclMastr (11:00:26 PM): "As long as getting out of here alive is on the menu, I'm game..."
MilesMk1 (11:00:46 PM): "We could probably use someone who can handle a spirit along the way, but we're not taking on passengers."
delioch (11:00:55 PM): "maybe we shouldn't talk about this outside?"
CirclMastr (11:01:09 PM): *nods* "Sounds fair, I'm ready to earn my seat."
Thematrian1 (11:01:25 PM): SC pulls off the dead guy's arms and removes some internal organs. She's headed back to the van now.
MilesMk1 (11:01:27 PM): "Ever try leading by example?" *flashes a crooked smile at SF*
delioch (11:01:37 PM): #hey, alex you coming back down?#
MilesMk1 (11:01:46 PM): #That sound ok to you, Alex?#
Umbrafer (11:02:00 PM): #Down?#
Umbrafer (11:02:04 PM): #Oh, shit.#
delioch (11:02:05 PM): "in what way?"
Umbrafer (11:02:14 PM): *Jacks out, looks around*
delioch (11:02:16 PM): i say looking at blake
MilesMk1 (11:02:22 PM): #I mean, we've been holding thins together with luck and duct tape, since this all started, so what's one more guy.#
MilesMk1 (11:02:33 PM): "Ah, never mind."
delioch (11:02:47 PM): i get up and get in the van
MilesMk1 (11:02:52 PM): *holds out a hand to the skinny guy* "Name's Blake."
Thematrian1 (11:02:54 PM): Alex: you're not in the van.
Thematrian1 (11:02:59 PM): woah, weird.
delioch (11:03:13 PM): then i rebring up the maps..knowing it might come up
CirclMastr (11:03:52 PM): *shakes Blake's hand gratefully* "Todd."
delioch (11:04:02 PM): #hey, the vans sound proofed against altra ears right?#
Umbrafer (11:04:09 PM): "Damn." Going to check my apartment for anything I might have missed, take some stuff like a toothbrush, towel, my stock of hypoallergenic detergent, and a pillow, lock the door behind me and head down.
Umbrafer (11:04:13 PM): #What?#
Umbrafer (11:04:31 PM): B:#One of these days, we're going to pick someone up and they're going to be the next Neil.#
Thematrian1 (11:04:40 PM): As she approaches the van, SC opens her mouth and devours the heart she was carrying.
Thematrian1 (11:04:45 PM): The liver follows it a moment later.
MilesMk1 (11:05:33 PM): *looks like he swallowed a bug*
delioch (11:05:47 PM): #i'm just wondering because someone could listen in on a privte conversation through the walls other wise#
Umbrafer (11:06:07 PM): #Altra?#
delioch (11:06:12 PM): #well, maybe#
delioch (11:06:41 PM): #hearing ampafing#
delioch (11:06:57 PM): (amplifing)
MilesMk1 (11:07:13 PM): #Next Neil? As in, an ork Barbarian? Is that a bad thing? Was he psychotic? I don't think I watched that show.#
Dragcrell (11:07:13 PM): *naws on the guys arm as she waits handing Blake two Ares Predators and a Browning Max power as well as some Ares script and slips on the Armored Coat she found as well*
CirclMastr (11:07:32 PM): "I don't know what your comm situation is, but I've got a micro-tranceiver..." *blinks a few times at the organ-devouring*
Thematrian1 (11:08:00 PM): Blake: SC is trying to hand you some blood-stained guns and rather a lot of paper Ares scrip
Thematrian1 (11:08:08 PM): the scrip is sort of sticking together now, which helps
delioch (11:08:12 PM): (i'm in the van, so the display of cats food is unknown to me)
Umbrafer (11:08:34 PM): B:#Remember the guy we found with the Trolls? The one that got us sent to see clown-guy?#
MilesMk1 (11:08:51 PM): *takes the guns and holds them away from his clothes* "You know, I heard about breakdown of civilization, but this is ridiculous."
Umbrafer (11:09:16 PM): #The van's got $CENTIMETERS of armor plating with engine noise running through it. Anything that'll hear through that will hear us just fine, I guess.#
delioch (11:09:18 PM): "why what happened?" i ask from inside the van
MilesMk1 (11:09:32 PM): #Oh. Right. Well, there is that possibility, but really...#
delioch (11:09:50 PM): # true, i didn't think about that. never mind#
Dragcrell (11:10:19 PM): "freash food better then soi shit you like" *goes back to her meal*
Thematrian1 (11:10:25 PM): sounds like Alex opened the doors at some point?
MilesMk1 (11:10:29 PM): "Call me old fashioned, but if you're going to turn cannibal, could you do it somwhere I can't see?"
MilesMk1 (11:10:41 PM): *shakes his head to clear it*
Umbrafer (11:10:42 PM): Well, no, but if asked to she will on her way down.
CirclMastr (11:11:04 PM): "Uh... so... yeah...."
MilesMk1 (11:11:09 PM): "We have a comm network... I should be able to get you patched in, but give me a few minutes." *gestures with the guns*
Dragcrell (11:11:31 PM): *raises a ear at blakes coment* "Only works if I was eatting a tiger I think"
delioch (11:11:34 PM): "canible" i look out side "what in the shit city....."
CirclMastr (11:11:37 PM): (I'm not sure what you're trying to gesture)
MilesMk1 (11:12:14 PM): (going for a "have my hands full" (of bloody guns and cannibals) kind of gesture)
CirclMastr (11:12:18 PM): (Ah)
CirclMastr (11:12:31 PM): *nods a bit*
MilesMk1 (11:12:34 PM): (I'm still holding them a couple of feet away from me.)
Thematrian1 (11:12:40 PM): (Understood)
MilesMk1 (11:12:43 PM): *finds a sack to throw them in*
Thematrian1 (11:12:58 PM): There are several garbage bags in your LOS, but they're all full.
MilesMk1 (11:13:18 PM): "Whatever... Can you please not devour people in public? It's a bit antisocial."
delioch (11:13:40 PM): "check that opened garage over there for something"
delioch (11:14:01 PM): (for a bag)
MilesMk1 (11:14:02 PM): I use some of the plastic sheathing we have in the van for interrogations.
MilesMk1 (11:14:13 PM): Or go with SF's suggestion.
CirclMastr (11:14:22 PM): *wonders if anyone else will introduce themselves*
Thematrian1 (11:14:26 PM): which?
Dragcrell (11:14:35 PM): *finshes with her meal then cleans her fur*
Thematrian1 (11:14:42 PM): Todd: You've met two out of three; the third is also the cannibal
delioch (11:14:43 PM): the one i opened
Thematrian1 (11:14:52 PM): oh, and now she's licking her fur. Yep, that's definitely fur.
Thematrian1 (11:15:01 PM): Let me rephrase. Blake, which of those things are you doing?
CirclMastr (11:15:03 PM): (I don't recall anyone introducing themselves aside Blake)
MilesMk1 (11:15:06 PM): #We really could use someone who can hurt spirits... I say we give the guy a chance. I mean, we're travelling with someone who eats human hearts.#
MilesMk1 (11:15:17 PM): Garage.
MilesMk1 (11:15:40 PM): #I'm no longer sure what it is we're worried about.#
delioch (11:15:52 PM): "oh, while blakes heading in that direction. can anyone here drive a sobe?"
MilesMk1 (11:16:12 PM): #By our recent standards, as long as someone has an endoskeleton...#
delioch (11:16:22 PM): kind of gestures towards the garage
MilesMk1 (11:16:26 PM): "What's a sobe?"
delioch (11:16:40 PM): (or what ever that car is)
Thematrian1 (11:16:55 PM): (The ones in the garage? They were nice sedans)
Thematrian1 (11:17:02 PM): (sobe was one brand)
MilesMk1 (11:17:34 PM): "Oh. Yeah, I can drive."
delioch (11:17:42 PM): (thats what i ment)
Umbrafer (11:18:00 PM): *Walk walk walk*
delioch (11:18:04 PM): "theres like 3 or 4 of them there... all nice and shiny"
Umbrafer (11:18:23 PM): (We have yet to go wrong stealing a car…)
Thematrian1 (11:18:48 PM): SF: The adrenaline is starting to wear off, and your ribs are aching again.
Thematrian1 (11:18:56 PM): Alex strolls back to her van?
Thematrian1 (11:19:14 PM): Shadow Cat polishes off her arm
Thematrian1 (11:19:23 PM): that is to say, the arm she took off of the dead guy
delioch (11:19:28 PM): i'll sit back down again..."by the by. does anyone here know how to check for a cracked rib?"
Umbrafer (11:19:34 PM): Indeed. Tossing the pillow next to the driver's seat, the toothbrush and toothpaste into the glove compartment, etc.
Thematrian1 (11:19:39 PM): check
Umbrafer (11:20:01 PM): The towel I keep with me.
MilesMk1 (11:20:10 PM): "Yes."
MilesMk1 (11:20:19 PM): "I don't do windows, though."
delioch (11:20:20 PM): ( always keep your towel handy)
delioch (11:20:35 PM): "good. cause i think i might have one"
MilesMk1 (11:20:43 PM): *sticks the guns in a bag, comes back to the van, gets out the medkit*
delioch (11:21:04 PM): (how much did i take?)
MilesMk1 (11:21:13 PM): M, I think.
MilesMk1 (11:21:31 PM): Someone else will have to look up the TNs, I still don't have my book.
Thematrian1 (11:21:33 PM): (You had an M)
delioch (11:21:38 PM): (3 or just 1)
Thematrian1 (11:21:45 PM): (3)
MilesMk1 (11:22:07 PM): Oh, and I'll make sure to do it somewhere that doesn't qualify as "terrible" conditions - like inside the van, comfortably seated, or in the apartment.
MilesMk1 (11:22:15 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 1 6 5 2
MilesMk1 (11:22:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (11:22:23 PM): I think we're in business.
Thematrian1 (11:22:25 PM): inside the van is your best bet
delioch (11:22:27 PM): vans fine
MilesMk1 (11:22:36 PM): Welcome to only having an L wound.
Thematrian1 (11:22:41 PM): you tape up his ribs and give him some antibiotics. He's at L.
CirclMastr (11:23:06 PM): "So, where are we going?"
Dragcrell (11:23:09 PM): <--- 7' tall humanoid Bengal Tigeress curently in a rather bloody T-shirt and denim pants with reddish yellow/ Black Stripes two cougar short fineblades are sheaths on her upper arms.....
MilesMk1 (11:23:13 PM): "Actually, I think it wasn't broken, just separated from your sternum. Or almost."
delioch (11:23:15 PM): "thank you" i say through a cry eyed look
MilesMk1 (11:23:31 PM): Really looking tear-eyed, or messing around?
delioch (11:23:34 PM): "still sounds bad"
Dragcrell (11:23:48 PM): *and two couger long fineblades are simalerly attacted to her thughs*
MilesMk1 (11:23:51 PM): "You'll be fine in a day or two."
delioch (11:23:58 PM): (i'm pretty sure it still hurt a bit)
Thematrian1 (11:24:14 PM): (Yep, to the tune of +1 TN. But it's not as immediate)
delioch (11:24:17 PM): (what with the tap and all)
MilesMk1 (11:24:43 PM): *to Todd* "By the way, this is Shadowfire, and this is Shadowcat. No relation."
delioch (11:24:46 PM): "so..... whats your name?"
CirclMastr (11:24:53 PM): *looks over the tigress woman with some curiousity*
delioch (11:25:05 PM): "i knew i forgot something"
CirclMastr (11:25:16 PM): "Todd. Nice to meet you both."
Dragcrell (11:25:18 PM): *twiches a ear at the sound of her name as she cleans the blood from her fur*
delioch (11:25:45 PM): "don't mind her, shes a drama queen"
CirclMastr (11:26:15 PM): *still can't help looking at her*
MilesMk1 (11:26:32 PM): *restrains an urge to poke SF in the ribs*
delioch (11:26:54 PM): "so, as to what is next?"
CirclMastr (11:27:05 PM): "Uh... yeah, where are we going?"
MilesMk1 (11:27:08 PM): "I think it'll be best to talk about where we're going next once we're all inside the van, nice and private."
Umbrafer (11:27:15 PM): We've retrieved all the munitions from my apartment?
delioch (11:27:19 PM): "yeap"
Thematrian1 (11:27:30 PM): You have.
CirclMastr (11:27:33 PM): "Yeah, that's probably a good idea."
MilesMk1 (11:27:34 PM): "Don't worry, if you decide you'll change your mind, we're not going to press-gang you..." *smiles*
MilesMk1 (11:27:42 PM): you've changed
MilesMk1 (11:27:49 PM): "Well, not likely, anyway."
MilesMk1 (11:28:03 PM): if we didn't, I collect any rockets I put down to come out and fight
Thematrian1 (11:28:19 PM): Ah yes, those. You have them.
delioch (11:28:36 PM): ( i wait in the van for everyone to get in and close the door)
Dragcrell (11:28:42 PM): *throws a bone from the arm she was munching on at S.Fire* "that comeing from the cube that let a opponet get that close to them?"
Umbrafer (11:28:44 PM): Good times. The back of the van becomes increasingly crowded with boxes of rockets and MMG rounds.
delioch (11:29:11 PM): "cube?"
Thematrian1 (11:29:18 PM): yeah. And yet another extra person. It's not as cramped without all the broken stratos, though
Thematrian1 (11:29:34 PM): Shadow Fire: you're hit on the shoulder by a human femur.
delioch (11:29:42 PM): "we could take sedan before we leave"
delioch (11:29:59 PM): i toss it out the door
Umbrafer (11:30:14 PM): *Weeps for the Stratos*
delioch (11:30:28 PM): i try not to think about her and humaniod flesh to much
Dragcrell (11:31:21 PM): "Yes cube." *goes to her usal spot in the uper back cornor of the van's interior*
delioch (11:31:32 PM): "what cube?"
MilesMk1 (11:31:33 PM): (We got rid of the damaged Stratos?)
MilesMk1 (11:32:00 PM): BTW, I suppose we can grab one of the cars, and I can do it, but I also need to go sleep. :(
Thematrian1 (11:32:04 PM): (The ones that had taken D are at the garage AFAIK)
MilesMk1 (11:32:14 PM): (Ah, yes.)
Umbrafer (11:32:29 PM): (And the ones that were unrecoverable are in the remains of a pyre)
Dragcrell (11:32:45 PM): "or would you rather I call you a pup then?"
delioch (11:32:55 PM): (we could open another garage)
MilesMk1 (11:33:03 PM): So, I jack a nice, roomy car, and we head out?
CirclMastr (11:33:06 PM): *gets in the van, toward the back near the tigress, too curious to do otherwise*
MilesMk1 (11:33:10 PM): (oh, a cub)
delioch (11:33:11 PM): "oh i see..."
Thematrian1 (11:33:12 PM): Yep. We'll deal with the details. Sleep well.
MilesMk1 (11:33:23 PM): See you guys variously.
delioch (11:33:29 PM): later
MilesMk1 (11:33:34 PM): Good night.
MilesMk1 (11:33:45 PM): I'll post the "shopping list".
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

delioch (11:34:30 PM): once everyboby is in i colse the door" so as we were saying"
Dragcrell (11:36:07 PM): "How hard is it to get the scrip do you think with thaings as they are now?"
Umbrafer (11:36:24 PM): *Plugs in but doesn't jump into the van yet* "Scrip's always worthless."
CirclMastr (11:36:54 PM): "Scrip is useless without a corporate ID."
Dragcrell (11:36:55 PM): "Then why have it like the one Ork?"
Umbrafer (11:36:57 PM): "That's why they pay in it.
CirclMastr (11:37:10 PM): "Because that ork was a fucking moron, they all were."
Dragcrell (11:37:58 PM): *looks over at Tod* "What makes you say that?"
delioch (11:38:00 PM): "well, ya. but hes dead now."
Umbrafer (11:38:06 PM): "You knew them?"
CirclMastr (11:38:43 PM): "Yeah, I was trying to get out with them before... a bunch of idiotic religious whackjobs."
delioch (11:39:03 PM): "what wack jobs?"
delioch (11:39:18 PM): *record*
CirclMastr (11:39:21 PM): "Fuck if I know, I didn't listen to them ranting about crap."
delioch (11:39:53 PM): "oh, but what was the effect of this religuos group?"
CirclMastr (11:40:03 PM): "...Effect?"
delioch (11:40:11 PM): "coming into the group that is?"
CirclMastr (11:40:33 PM): "I was just going with them hoping to get out of the city."
Dragcrell (11:40:34 PM): "not as odd as the pup with no hairrr like the elf therrre."
delioch (11:41:10 PM): *stops recording and erases it*
delioch (11:41:25 PM): "hey, i'm on the clock as you know"
delioch (11:42:16 PM): "i'm here to assist you of all people, so its only odd as far as that"
CirclMastr (11:42:23 PM): *looks over at Shadowcat* "Mind if I ask what sort of... uh, metatype you are?"
Dragcrell (11:42:35 PM): *snorts* "and you nearrrly was no longerrr on the clock yourrr a lucky pup to be alive."
Dragcrell (11:42:58 PM): *flicks ears and looks at Tod some what confused*
delioch (11:43:06 PM): "true.... i'm not a combat person.. "
delioch (11:43:28 PM): "i don't think she has one."
CirclMastr (11:43:47 PM): "Never mind."
delioch (11:43:54 PM): changing the subject well, todd. whats going on at the moment is that we are going to the ares tower for a party and a shopping spree"
delioch (11:44:16 PM): (")
CirclMastr (11:44:18 PM): "...Huh?"
delioch (11:44:50 PM): "you know the tower, down town.. where they design weapons of mass distruction"
Umbrafer (11:45:06 PM): *Muttered* "Infosec would've had my ovaries on a platter…"
delioch (11:45:28 PM): ?
Dragcrell (11:45:45 PM): *right ear pirks up at the muttering from Alex*
delioch (11:45:55 PM): "you know ares"
CirclMastr (11:46:14 PM): "Yeah... uh, is someone else in the van?"
delioch (11:46:48 PM): (what do you mean?)
Thematrian1 (11:46:49 PM): Yeah, come to think of it, Todd, yo uhaven't seen the driver yet.
Umbrafer (11:46:51 PM): "Nobody here but us chickens."
CirclMastr (11:47:22 PM): "Uh huh... dare I ask?"
delioch (11:47:27 PM): "oh, that... thats alex.. the driver"
CirclMastr (11:47:51 PM): *tries speaking up* "Uh, nice to meet you?"
Dragcrell (11:47:58 PM): "Alex I think." *puts her fur back in to place for lack of intrest in what else has to be said*
delioch (11:49:13 PM): "anyway.. we are going in to sack the tower, and since you said you would help your coming with i guess. after that- except a minor situation or two- we can leave town"
delioch (11:49:54 PM): "hopefull i can get a sub or something to help in that end by then"
CirclMastr (11:50:07 PM): "Alright... a sub?"
delioch (11:51:31 PM): "yes, a sub. cause i'm not sure if you know this or not, but the city is surrounded by ucas soldiers who will shoot anything that moves towards the walls on this side. so with a sub we could go via the lake"
CirclMastr (11:51:52 PM): "Oh..."
Dragcrell (11:52:33 PM): "Unless they have something to coverrr the lake."
CirclMastr (11:52:51 PM): *grins a bit* "I can imagine why you wouldn't be a fan of the lake..."
delioch (11:53:04 PM): " and since it will come up sooner or later, since cat likes to harp on about it. i came in here a load of info on the city and the tower by a little bird"
delioch (11:53:49 PM): "true, but i wasn't abou to check it out with nothing but my armor to protect me from the cems they put in there"
delioch (11:54:02 PM): (chems)
Dragcrell (11:54:05 PM): "I have no issuies with waterrr just pointing out they have the rrroads blocked and therrre boutnd to think about the lake as a means to get out."
CirclMastr (11:54:16 PM): "Ah..."
delioch (11:55:22 PM): " well, i know i could sneak out just as i snuck in... i'm justy looking out for the rest of you and the nice shiny objects you'll most likle what to carry out from the tower"
Dragcrell (11:57:02 PM): *unsheaths one of the short cougers* "unless there are stuff better then this not likely." *resheaths the knife*
CirclMastr (11:57:22 PM): "I've got the important thing to take out of here already."
delioch (11:57:23 PM): looking back at tod "so you game?"
CirclMastr (11:58:20 PM): "I said I'd help, so I'll help."
delioch (11:58:25 PM): #alex anything you would like to add?#
Umbrafer (11:59:01 PM): #Not yet. See if he's got a radio.#
CirclMastr (11:59:08 PM): (I already said I do)
Thematrian1 (11:59:13 PM): (He does; Blake checked that earlier)
delioch (11:59:14 PM): "got a radio"
CirclMastr (11:59:23 PM): "Yeah."
Umbrafer (11:59:30 PM): #Crypto?#
delioch (11:59:41 PM): "crypto?"
Umbrafer (11:59:53 PM): Hm. How are we treating Blake's car theft?
Umbrafer (12:00:00 AM): Well
CirclMastr (12:00:01 AM): "It's not encrypted, no."
delioch (12:00:17 AM): (i could do the stealing and can drive)
Umbrafer (12:00:19 AM): I guess he's either successful or rides with us
Thematrian1 (12:00:30 AM): You could both steal cars.
delioch (12:00:32 AM): (and he can do the driving)
Thematrian1 (12:00:39 AM): The cars Shadow Fire are just the cars that were on that one floor.
Thematrian1 (12:00:55 AM): The supply of cars is abundant relative to the supply of drivers.
delioch (12:00:57 AM): (i can't really drive, at least safely)
Thematrian1 (12:01:04 AM): ohhh
Umbrafer (12:01:15 AM): After all car theft resolves I'm going to head for the Tower for some surveillance. Though since we're just Shadowrunners spying on a megacorp, would that make it sousveillance?
Thematrian1 (12:01:45 AM): ok. It's not quite that simple though; you have to either pass through the Vehicle Points that access the Core, or else take the monorail.
Umbrafer (12:01:46 AM): #Give him channel $NEW_CHANNEL, and add it to your list.#
Umbrafer (12:01:52 AM): Ahah.
delioch (12:01:56 AM): #ok#
Umbrafer (12:01:58 AM): Well
delioch (12:02:06 AM): "here let me see it"
Umbrafer (12:02:11 AM): How close are these Vehicle Point to the Tower?
delioch (12:02:36 AM): the radio i mean
Thematrian1 (12:02:37 AM): not especially; the access points are necssarily at the edges, and the Tower is nearly dead center
Umbrafer (12:03:07 AM): Estimate in kilometers based on my maps?
delioch (12:03:14 AM): (check out the v points)
CirclMastr (12:03:37 AM): *hands over the radio*
Thematrian1 (12:03:39 AM): Ask me again at the beginning of next session. Why?
delioch (12:04:00 AM): i set his radio up for the desired channel
Dragcrell (12:04:12 AM): ok well I'm out for the night have fun
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

delioch (12:04:21 AM): night
delioch (12:04:26 AM): ......
Thematrian1 (12:04:32 AM): yeah, he's swift like that
Umbrafer (12:04:42 AM): Depending on distance my immediate plan may be to park outside it, loft the Schattenauge outside it, and use the 300x zoom to scope the tower out from a distance.
CirclMastr (12:04:44 AM): Like the Flash, but running away
Thematrian1 (12:04:57 AM): I'm about done in here, so I'll see everybody next week, and then I'll disgorge some geographical details, I promise
delioch (12:05:18 AM): ok, later
delioch (12:05:33 AM): well, i guess i'll go as well.
Umbrafer (12:05:34 AM): Good times.
