MilesMk1 (8:57:48 PM): Mhmm. He's not even late, so we can't give him shit.
Dragcrell (8:58:07 PM): (>_>)
Thematrian1 (8:58:37 PM): So: tooling around the tower
delioch (8:58:39 PM): .............
Umbrafer (8:58:45 PM): *Loom*
Umbrafer (8:58:48 PM): Rather:
Umbrafer (8:58:52 PM): Tower: *Loom*
delioch (8:59:11 PM): (i was skulking)
Umbrafer (9:00:26 PM): Well, when we last left off…
Thematrian1 (9:00:36 PM): tooling, or skulking, as the case may be
Umbrafer (9:00:57 PM): Floating?
MilesMk1 (9:01:05 PM): So, did all this yield any insights into what we should do next? (aside from storm the tower, step on a mine, and get shot?)
Thematrian1 (9:01:06 PM): I don't think so.
Umbrafer (9:01:15 PM): Right, we were looking at the dwarf.
delioch (9:01:20 PM): no
MilesMk1 (9:01:50 PM): Does that mean me, or is there some other dwarf, now?
delioch (9:02:22 PM): i was skulking...
CirclMastr (9:02:26 PM): The non-burned up mage
delioch (9:02:39 PM): in the back seat with hand cuffs on
delioch (9:02:53 PM): and a gag i think
MilesMk1 (9:02:54 PM): We... What? There's a dwarf mage in the back seat with cuffs on?
Thematrian1 (9:03:03 PM): This is news to me too, actually.
delioch (9:03:05 PM): no just a mage
Thematrian1 (9:03:11 PM): Granted I was pretty tired at the end of last session, but...
delioch (9:03:17 PM): or just some guy which ever
MilesMk1 (9:03:21 PM): Which mage?
Thematrian1 (9:03:23 PM): Jon, if you would be so kind as to sort us out?
delioch (9:03:48 PM): it was implyed that he could be a mage becuase of the fire
Dragcrell (9:05:44 PM): (we found someone on a burning bus that was retively unharmed by the flames he is curently in the back of the car handcuffed. The Dwarf on the other hand I belive spoted S.C. and/or S.Fire sneaking around the outlineing..)
Dragcrell (9:06:02 PM): (buildings at that point we broke up for the night)
Umbrafer (9:06:21 PM): http://www.sotsw.net/runs/SotSW%2006-13-06.html
Thematrian1 (9:06:42 PM): that's right, Todd rescued him.
Thematrian1 (9:06:45 PM): Good times, thank you
Dragcrell (9:07:20 PM): (np)
CirclMastr (9:07:32 PM): At great personal risk which nobody offered to heal. >_>
Thematrian1 (9:07:45 PM): That's right. Blake is in a position to do so, however.
CirclMastr (9:07:47 PM): (New wounds = new chance for First Aid, or so I thought)
Thematrian1 (9:08:16 PM): (Yes. You can't heal more damage than you took, though)
delioch (9:08:21 PM): i had just rolled for stealth when we quite for the night: 11 5 8 and 5
MilesMk1 (9:08:47 PM): Ah. Ok, first aid on Sweeney...
MilesMk1 (9:09:15 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 4 1 3 2
Thematrian1 (9:09:16 PM): (FTR, his IC name is just Todd ;-))
delioch (9:09:43 PM): (thats what i though. i was confused)
MilesMk1 (9:09:44 PM): Mhmm... I hope you have a decent Body and Willpower...
MilesMk1 (9:10:08 PM): (My SR book is still on loan, someone else needs to look up the TNs)
Umbrafer (9:10:10 PM): (New idea: Barber's chair weapon focus, that isn't wielded as a weapon but adds its dice to attacks made against the person in the chair.)
MilesMk1 (9:10:41 PM): (Fine, I won't call him Demon Barber either.)
CirclMastr (9:10:49 PM): (Weapon focus straight-edge is a lot simpler)
Umbrafer (9:10:52 PM): What's he at?
delioch (9:10:54 PM): (werid)
Thematrian1 (9:10:54 PM): (Much appreciated)
Thematrian1 (9:11:01 PM): 5 boxes IIRC?
Umbrafer (9:11:07 PM): (They stack. Though the straight-edge can be used when not in contact with the chair.)
CirclMastr (9:11:09 PM): Yeah
delioch (9:11:47 PM): (how about getting weapon focus cement mixer)
Umbrafer (9:12:06 PM): TN 6, 10 combat turns, +2 Patient is Awakened, -1 if Body is 4-6.
delioch (9:12:07 PM): (then we can threaten people with cement shoes)
Thematrian1 (9:12:12 PM): Meanwhile, SC and SF have observed a dwarf, ducking around a corner.
MilesMk1 (9:12:15 PM): Yeesh.
CirclMastr (9:12:27 PM): TN 7
Thematrian1 (9:12:42 PM): Bad news, Blake; you're out of burn ointment. You do what you can, but it doesn't seem to help.
MilesMk1 (9:12:43 PM): Well, he's not much use to us this banged up, I suppose I'll need to use a point of Karma...
MilesMk1 (9:13:12 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 4 5 4 6
delioch (9:13:14 PM): i was working my way down a block and over
MilesMk1 (9:13:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 1
MilesMk1 (9:13:21 PM): There we go.
MilesMk1 (9:13:33 PM): Fortunately, I found some real olive oil in one of the house.
MilesMk1 (9:13:35 PM): s.
delioch (9:13:45 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (9:13:47 PM): You feel much better, but smell faintly like basil.
Thematrian1 (9:14:09 PM): ...I'll accept that. Todd, the hardened mercenary before you slathers you in olive oil. Strangely enough, it helps.
MilesMk1 (9:14:29 PM): (I was being facetious, but... hey, whatever works.)
delioch (9:14:31 PM): (greek wreasling)
CirclMastr (9:14:43 PM): ".....Ooookaaaaayyyy....."
MilesMk1 (9:14:59 PM): (Hey, you feel better!)
delioch (9:15:41 PM): (now your slathered up for ther crawl through the air ducts
MilesMk1 (9:15:55 PM): "Well, consider what I have to work with, here."
Dragcrell (9:16:13 PM): (off hand could have usea Aloie plant as well ;3 for burns works as well we use to have some around here and thats what we used for burns)
Thematrian1 (9:16:23 PM): (It's harder to find in the big city)
delioch (9:16:41 PM): (yeap)
Dragcrell (9:17:00 PM): (eh true true and I dout meny ppl keep live house plants in 205x as well)
Thematrian1 (9:17:16 PM): (They're so inconvenient)
Dragcrell (9:17:37 PM): (hehehehe)
delioch (9:17:38 PM): (poo to real plant life)
MilesMk1 (9:17:54 PM): (Actually, I think it popped into my head because I was re-reading the Three Musketeers, and it's one of the ingredients, IIRC, for the balm d'Artagnan's mother gives him a recipe for...)
Thematrian1 (9:18:04 PM): SF is making his way down a block. Shadow Cat, what were you up to?
MilesMk1 (9:18:12 PM): (Anyway, he feels better.)
delioch (9:18:24 PM): (haha)
MilesMk1 (9:18:35 PM): "So, if you got these burns saving him from a bus on fire, why do we need to keep him gagged and cuffed?"
delioch (9:18:54 PM): (that was me)
MilesMk1 (9:19:31 PM): (And if he's a mage, blindfolded's really all that matters...)
Dragcrell (9:19:48 PM): easy up a wall and try to sneak over to the corner the dwarf ducked behind and see what hes doing
delioch (9:19:56 PM): (my character really would have very little clue to that)
CirclMastr (9:20:23 PM): "They gagged and cuffed him?"
MilesMk1 (9:20:41 PM): *looks over at the maybe-a-mage*
delioch (9:20:43 PM): (but you were in the car with me when i did it.. so ya)
Umbrafer (9:20:47 PM): (I'm all for the gagging-and-cuffing)
CirclMastr (9:20:58 PM): (I thought I was in the van and the guy is now in the car)
MilesMk1 (9:20:58 PM): "Looks like it."
delioch (9:21:01 PM): :-D
Thematrian1 (9:21:29 PM): Yep. SF sneaks around, SC sneaks over. SF, you get there first. From behind a public trash can, you see the dwarf holding a pistol and a radio. He's got the pistol pointed more or less in your direction (though
MilesMk1 (9:21:36 PM): (Damn it... I completely forgot about the separate vehicles. Again.)
delioch (9:21:37 PM): (i ment blake)
Thematrian1 (9:21:39 PM): he clearly hasn't seen you), and he's whispering furiously into the radio
delioch (9:22:16 PM): #he's got a radio#
MilesMk1 (9:22:42 PM): #...and?#
delioch (9:22:45 PM): i'm going to take aim at the radio he has in hand.. just aiming though
delioch (9:22:55 PM): #just letyting you know#
Thematrian1 (9:23:02 PM): ok, you're taking aim
delioch (9:23:02 PM): (letting)
MilesMk1 (9:23:14 PM): #What's he look like? Corp security?#
delioch (9:23:26 PM): (?)
delioch (9:23:42 PM): #does it matter?#
Umbrafer (9:24:24 PM): #Yes.@#
Umbrafer (9:24:26 PM): *-@
Thematrian1 (9:24:27 PM): He's wearing a thick brown jacket with a greyish vest underneath. He's heavily muscled, with a dark glove on one hand.
MilesMk1 (9:24:30 PM): #It does if that makes him a part of tower security. Or competition.#
delioch (9:24:54 PM): # i don't think he is...#
Thematrian1 (9:24:59 PM): He's skin's olive...he looks sort of italian. Beardless. What kind of vision mods do you have, SF?
MilesMk1 (9:25:24 PM): #Just don't get shot again, there's only so much I can do with painkillers and athletic tape.#
delioch (9:25:46 PM): flare comp/ thermo/ low light/ opticam
MilesMk1 (9:25:53 PM): #...on someone of your frail consitution, anyway...#
Thematrian1 (9:25:54 PM): ah yes
delioch (9:25:58 PM): #i'll try#
Dragcrell (9:25:59 PM): (crosses fingers)
Dragcrell (9:26:13 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 4 2 4 3 3
Thematrian1 (9:26:17 PM): He's got a scar stretching from the point of his jaw down his neck into his vest

Dragcrell (9:26:48 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 5 6 4 6
delioch (9:26:53 PM): #hey cat can you jump him when your ready.. i'll shoot the radio#
Dragcrell (9:26:54 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 6
Umbrafer (9:26:57 PM): I get anything? I was watching him, IIRC.
Dragcrell (9:27:04 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (9:27:27 PM): Shadow Cat: behind you, you hear footsteps: boots on asphalt.
Thematrian1 (9:27:41 PM): (did I call for vision? Oops. Whatever)
Thematrian1 (9:28:17 PM): Alex: watching the dwarf? He's not in the van's LOS
Umbrafer (9:28:27 PM): I was in the Schattenauge most of the time.
Thematrian1 (9:28:32 PM): ah yes
Thematrian1 (9:28:49 PM): You get the same picture that SF got, minus the scar since you're looking down from above
CirclMastr (9:28:54 PM): (brb, dinner)
delioch (9:29:19 PM): .....
Thematrian1 (9:29:21 PM): Inside the van, Todd's rescuee groans and stirs
Thematrian1 (9:29:27 PM): (He'll be right back)
delioch (9:29:37 PM): (inside the car by the by)
Umbrafer (9:29:58 PM): *Nods*
delioch (9:31:24 PM): #hello, cat?#
MilesMk1 (9:31:36 PM): (sounds like someone sneaking up on you)
delioch (9:31:55 PM): (not me)
Thematrian1 (9:32:32 PM): lessee...Blake, you're with Todd in the...van? With the kids also in the van? Everyone has left the car at this point?
delioch (9:32:48 PM): (it would seem so)\
Umbrafer (9:33:15 PM): Hm.
Umbrafer (9:33:22 PM): This is unfortunate. So it goes, I guess.
MilesMk1 (9:34:12 PM): I'd have had to come over to apply First Aid.
MilesMk1 (9:34:16 PM): Or drive over...
MilesMk1 (9:34:30 PM): I really don't know where I was, since I wasn't clear on what happened last session.
delioch (9:34:38 PM): the cars not that far from the van
delioch (9:35:02 PM): like right next to each other i think
MilesMk1 (9:35:44 PM): Assuming I was done with Todd, and the van wasn't moving, I'd assume I was probably standing outside with my rifle ready. (what with all the sneaking and dwarf-spotting)
Thematrian1 (9:35:50 PM): the van crept ahead a bit, but yes, they're quite close together
delioch (9:37:25 PM): #hey, i'm not getting anything from cat. just so you know#
delioch (9:38:39 PM): i'll shoot the radio
MilesMk1 (9:38:47 PM): #SC?#
Thematrian1 (9:38:50 PM): He finishes whispering into his radio, and...roll it.
MilesMk1 (9:39:02 PM): *scans the area for snipers and such*
delioch (9:39:05 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 4 6 4
delioch (9:39:16 PM): delioch rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (9:39:39 PM): what're you shooting it with?
delioch (9:39:55 PM): silver viper
delioch (9:40:47 PM): ares viper i mean
Thematrian1 (9:40:49 PM): ::nod::
delioch (9:41:07 PM): flechette rounds
Thematrian1 (9:41:57 PM): the radio turns out to be a cheap piece of Stuffer Shack garbage. It starts to come apart as you shoot it; its holder flings it aside and dives to the ground, shouting curses.
Thematrian1 (9:42:05 PM): initiative
delioch (9:42:21 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 6
delioch (9:42:37 PM): 16
MilesMk1 (9:42:41 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 1
MilesMk1 (9:42:44 PM): 23
MilesMk1 (9:42:53 PM): (in case I end up getting involved in this...)

Dragcrell (9:43:21 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 4
Thematrian1 (9:43:31 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 6
Thematrian1 (9:43:42 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (9:44:06 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 2
Umbrafer (9:44:10 PM): Ow.
MilesMk1 (9:44:14 PM): (So, is there a reason SC isn't answering her radio?)
Umbrafer (9:44:19 PM): 21
delioch (9:44:28 PM): (it would seem so)
MilesMk1 (9:44:29 PM): I beat Alex? Wow.
Umbrafer (9:44:33 PM): She is unwilling or unable, presumably
Dragcrell (9:44:34 PM): 21
CirclMastr (9:45:17 PM): Back
delioch (9:45:42 PM): just in time..
Thematrian1 (9:46:35 PM): Ok then. Blake starts us off, but he has no idea what's going on.
CirclMastr (9:46:45 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (9:46:53 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 2 2 4
Thematrian1 (9:48:23 PM): The scarred dwarf pulls a spherical object out of his coat and throws it in the general direction of SF's trash can. It lands a meter to SF's left.
Thematrian1 (9:48:27 PM): Alex, then Shadow Cat
delioch (9:48:42 PM): crap
delioch (9:48:53 PM): can i kick it back?
Thematrian1 (9:49:28 PM): Yes.
Thematrian1 (9:49:47 PM): hm...roll Athletics to kick it accurately.
delioch (9:49:51 PM): roll unarmed
delioch (9:49:55 PM): ok
delioch (9:50:07 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 4 3 4 4
CirclMastr (9:51:12 PM): (I'm not sure what's going on)
Thematrian1 (9:51:37 PM): that was Athletics?
delioch (9:51:45 PM): (you should roll for init)
delioch (9:51:48 PM): (ya)
Thematrian1 (9:52:14 PM): If so, nicely done. You step from behind the trash can and boot the grenade straight back at him. He yelps in surprise.
delioch (9:52:30 PM): sweet
Thematrian1 (9:52:59 PM): although, this doesn't happen until your action
Thematrian1 (9:53:04 PM): Shadow Cat, go
Umbrafer (9:53:05 PM): As for my action, I pull back behind the building and swap into the van.
Thematrian1 (9:53:13 PM): done
Dragcrell (9:53:22 PM): mmmmm
delioch (9:53:26 PM): swap or swoop?
Thematrian1 (9:54:28 PM): swap
CirclMastr (9:54:49 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 6
delioch (9:54:50 PM): nods
MilesMk1 (9:54:51 PM): #What is going on?#
CirclMastr (9:54:59 PM): (19 for init, though I still don't kno what's going on)
Umbrafer (9:55:05 PM): Swap. It would be a very long swoop, and accomplish little.
delioch (9:55:15 PM): #he throw a gernade at me#
MilesMk1 (9:55:29 PM): (We lost radio contact with SC, SF shot the dwarf's radio and got a grenade thrown at him)
Dragcrell (9:56:39 PM): ok I'll jump at and attack the searcher
delioch (9:56:56 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (9:57:25 PM): SF: Shadow Cat jumps off of the wall, into the Tower grounds
delioch (9:57:33 PM): ?
Dragcrell (9:57:39 PM): Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 1 3 4 2 6 5 6 2 4
Dragcrell (9:57:46 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 5
Umbrafer (9:57:51 PM): Oh dear.
delioch (9:58:06 PM): i hope that gernade doesn't hit her
MilesMk1 (9:58:11 PM): This is why his characters always have regeneration.
Dragcrell (9:58:54 PM): Dragcrell rolled 9 6-sided dice: 2 4 5 3 2 5 5 5 2
Thematrian1 (9:58:56 PM): She was on the wall surrounding the Tower grounds, and is now on the other side of the wall.
delioch (9:59:09 PM): ok
Thematrian1 (9:59:24 PM): she's safe from the grenade. As to everything else, we'll see
delioch (9:59:29 PM): so shes in the street?
Thematrian1 (9:59:33 PM): speaking of: Dragcrell, pick high or low
Thematrian1 (9:59:46 PM): now, you're in the street, she's on the Tower lawn
Dragcrell (9:59:53 PM): ......eh Low
delioch (10:00:03 PM): oh i see
Thematrian1 (10:00:11 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (10:00:20 PM): thanks
Thematrian1 (10:00:40 PM): let's see. Todd, you're up, but you don't know that anything is going on yet
Thematrian1 (10:00:47 PM): the guy you rescued stirred a moment ago
delioch (10:01:10 PM): (good thimng hes tied up)
delioch (10:01:31 PM): (thing)
Thematrian1 (10:01:34 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 2 2 1 1
Thematrian1 (10:01:39 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 5 5 6 6 4 5 4
Thematrian1 (10:01:44 PM): holy crap
CirclMastr (10:01:50 PM): "So what should I be doing?"
delioch (10:02:13 PM): screw that.. what just happened
Dragcrell (10:02:46 PM): (knowing me and my luck a rather large ass BOOM >_> )
delioch (10:02:55 PM): ouch
delioch (10:03:27 PM): i guess i should have explaned that part of security
Thematrian1 (10:03:36 PM): Shadow Fire, you masterfully kick that grenade
Dragcrell (10:03:51 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 2 2 5 1 5
delioch (10:04:03 PM): can move away from here now?
Thematrian1 (10:04:05 PM): second actions. Blake still has no idea what's up.
Thematrian1 (10:04:17 PM): instead of ducking back behind the trash can, you can move down the street, yeah
delioch (10:04:27 PM): i'll duck
Thematrian1 (10:04:56 PM): ok.
Thematrian1 (10:04:59 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 5 3 1 5 5 3 6
Thematrian1 (10:06:20 PM): The scarred dwarf pounces on the grenade and throws it straight upward. It explodes in midair with a familiar explosive *whump*, illuminating the Core streets for a lightning instant. The shock wave drives him to his knees.
Thematrian1 (10:06:31 PM): Everyone hears that, no rolls required.
Umbrafer (10:06:59 PM): What kind of familiar? Concussion-grenade familiar, or was it live?
delioch (10:07:02 PM): .....damn
Thematrian1 (10:07:38 PM): very, very live. SF and SC are the only ones close enough to know, but it was definitely an IPE, probably offensive, if the blast radius is anything to go by.
MilesMk1 (10:07:58 PM): "Hold tight, I don't think it's a good idea to go up against guns and grenades in the open, with a razor."
delioch (10:08:14 PM): ......radio?
CirclMastr (10:08:26 PM): "Fun."
Thematrian1 (10:08:26 PM): SF: you may use the radio if you wish
Thematrian1 (10:08:30 PM): SC and Alex: go
delioch (10:08:47 PM): no i ment did blake mean that to be on the radio
MilesMk1 (10:09:01 PM): No, he was responding to Todd.
delioch (10:09:05 PM): cause i broke the other one
delioch (10:09:08 PM): ok
Umbrafer (10:09:53 PM): #Need backup?#
delioch (10:10:16 PM): #always. i rather leave this to others#
Dragcrell (10:10:18 PM): Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 4 6 5 3 4 6 6 6 5
Dragcrell (10:10:30 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 6
Dragcrell (10:10:42 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 4
delioch (10:10:57 PM): #but still its fun#
MilesMk1 (10:12:17 PM): #How many hostiles? SC, call in, damn it.#
Thematrian1 (10:12:37 PM): Shadow Cat reappears, landing heavily on the top of the wall. Good thing there's no monowire there.
delioch (10:12:53 PM): ..........
Thematrian1 (10:13:14 PM): She sways on the edge, then catches her balance. Alex, you still have a real action, if you want it.
Dragcrell (10:13:30 PM): #herrre#
Umbrafer (10:14:05 PM): Hm. Advancing to the corner and holding.
Thematrian1 (10:14:24 PM): the van comes to life. Acceleration test.
delioch (10:15:02 PM): i think their going to forget the car
Umbrafer (10:15:34 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 4 5 3
Umbrafer (10:15:51 PM): 15MPT
Thematrian1 (10:15:56 PM): could well be
Thematrian1 (10:16:07 PM): Alice looks to Todd. "What's going on?"
CirclMastr (10:16:33 PM): "I'm not sure, just stay here in the van and you'll be fine."
delioch (10:20:23 PM): whos next
Dragcrell (10:20:25 PM): Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 5 1 1 3 1 2 3
MilesMk1 (10:20:32 PM): ...
Thematrian1 (10:20:53 PM): let's see. Shadow Fire, you have a second action coming.
Thematrian1 (10:21:03 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 2 2 5 1
delioch (10:21:05 PM): yeap...
Thematrian1 (10:21:40 PM): The scarred dwarf rolls left, avoiding the knife that Shadow Cat just threw at him.
delioch (10:21:59 PM): i shoot
delioch (10:22:06 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 3 3 1
delioch (10:22:20 PM): (i need pratice)
delioch (10:22:58 PM): (but they are smart linked)
Thematrian1 (10:23:22 PM): and you have both lowlight and thermo
delioch (10:23:30 PM): yeap
Thematrian1 (10:23:30 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (10:23:53 PM): This time he sees you take aim. He continues his roll, and your slivers ricochet off of the pavement
Thematrian1 (10:24:13 PM): third actions. Blake
MilesMk1 (10:24:46 PM): Can I see any of this? If not, I begin running towards the action, trying to maintain as much cover as possible.
Thematrian1 (10:25:05 PM): You were in the van. You can see SF, but not his target
MilesMk1 (10:25:40 PM): What's hiding his target from me?
MilesMk1 (10:26:04 PM): (just trying to get a grip on the situation - are they outside the wall to the tower grounds?)
delioch (10:26:17 PM): out side
Thematrian1 (10:26:31 PM): yes, outside
MilesMk1 (10:26:53 PM): (And I can't see the dwarf because he's behind...?)
delioch (10:27:17 PM): i'm behind the dumpster
delioch (10:27:35 PM): hes got to be on the other side of it
Thematrian1 (10:27:44 PM): The van is just short of a corner in the wall around the tower
Thematrian1 (10:27:51 PM): The dwarf is around that corner, and so out of your LOS
Thematrian1 (10:28:01 PM): SF is behind a trash can on the opposite side of the street
delioch (10:28:11 PM): oh i see
MilesMk1 (10:28:15 PM): If it looks like the van will keep on moving and give me a shot, then I roll down a window and hold my fire.
MilesMk1 (10:28:54 PM): If, on the other hand, Alex stops short of the corner, I will get out and move up to the corner, to turn it next round.
Thematrian1 (10:29:04 PM): Alex - is the van going to keep moving?
Umbrafer (10:30:02 PM): Do I have distance to cover until the corner?
Thematrian1 (10:30:26 PM): another ten meters or so, yea
Umbrafer (10:31:14 PM): Decelerating but not stopping.
Thematrian1 (10:33:04 PM): ok. The scarred dwarf contemplates his sitution for a moment, then drops his gun and begins to rise, hands over his head
CirclMastr (10:33:19 PM): (Now's your chance to kill him!)
Thematrian1 (10:34:17 PM): Shadow Cat and Alex, your actions
delioch (10:34:30 PM): "good idea"
Umbrafer (10:35:24 PM): Deceleration test.
Umbrafer (10:35:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 4 3 6 4 4
Umbrafer (10:35:30 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 3
Umbrafer (10:35:34 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (10:35:55 PM): (I'm sticking to the 4x required to not make a crash test, so I'm at 3 MPT)
Thematrian1 (10:36:26 PM): (Very well)
Thematrian1 (10:37:07 PM): Alice stumbles, then catches herself. Duncan was still sitting, and is not discommoded. The Not!BurnVictim moans again.
delioch (10:37:30 PM): ?
Dragcrell (10:37:36 PM): *jumps down off the wall next to the Dwarf growling*
delioch (10:38:04 PM): "where were you?"
Umbrafer (10:38:08 PM): (We get a lot of people better described by what they aren't than what they are.)
MilesMk1 (10:39:23 PM): "SC, don't eat him."
Thematrian1 (10:39:46 PM): Shadow Cat scoops up the knife she threw earlier.
Dragcrell (10:40:12 PM): *snorts* "Prrrobly tast like shit." *Glares at the dwarf still growling*
MilesMk1 (10:40:49 PM): #We need to either move in, or get out - that explosion will have alerted everyone in the area.#
delioch (10:40:50 PM): i put away my gun and pull out the two stun batons as i walk over to the dwarf
MilesMk1 (10:40:57 PM): #Fast.#
Thematrian1 (10:41:13 PM): Dwarf: "What do you want?"
Umbrafer (10:41:17 PM): #Agreed. Opinions?#
Thematrian1 (10:41:31 PM): He's looking at Shadow Fire but the question seems to be addressed to all and sundry.
delioch (10:41:36 PM): #we get in#"who the frak are you chummer?" i ponit with the baton
delioch (10:42:02 PM): (point)
Thematrian1 (10:42:45 PM): "I'm Ratchet. What do you want?"
delioch (10:42:58 PM): "who do you work for"
Umbrafer (10:43:07 PM): (We did shoot at him first.)
Dragcrell (10:43:10 PM): #dont carrre head hurrts frrrom a kick# *flashes a toothy grin* "if he dont talk can I use him for a scrrraching post?"
delioch (10:43:11 PM): "or did work for if that be the case"
MilesMk1 (10:43:15 PM): "What are you doing here, who do you work for, and who were you talking to on the radio?"
delioch (10:43:25 PM): "yes"
Dragcrell (10:43:54 PM): *purrrrs contently* "Good"
delioch (10:44:06 PM): #you can search him cat if you want#
Thematrian1 (10:44:36 PM): He fixates on his fellow dwarf: "I'm hunting the Rain Man, I work for myself, and I was talking to my crew."
delioch (10:44:58 PM): "rain man" i look at blake
Thematrian1 (10:46:01 PM): "We're pulling out, if you must know. Yoss is already dead, and the gang got away clean."
Thematrian1 (10:46:22 PM): "Let the fragging bugs kill each other for all I care."
delioch (10:46:28 PM): "so your not ares?"
Dragcrell (10:46:35 PM): *moves over sheaths the longs and unsheaths her claws* "Rrraing man?" *tugs at the dwarfs clothing* "any otherrr weapons if so drrrop orrr I starrrt brakeing."
MilesMk1 (10:46:55 PM): "Who's Rain Man, and what do the bugs have to do with this?"
delioch (10:47:13 PM): is there a guard post near b?
delioch (10:47:18 PM): by
MilesMk1 (10:47:19 PM): "Your particular hunt, that is?"
Thematrian1 (10:47:45 PM): He steps away from SC. "Ares? Hell no. We're independent."
delioch (10:48:23 PM): "you better let her check you. i could hurt other wise"
delioch (10:48:30 PM): (it)
MilesMk1 (10:48:52 PM): "I think he got that part when he put his hands up. Let him talk."
Thematrian1 (10:48:57 PM): Where's Todd in al this?
MilesMk1 (10:49:24 PM): (not really trying to snap at SF, just playing a little Good Cop, in so far as I can while pointing an automatic weapon at him)
Thematrian1 (10:49:47 PM): "Rain Man. They call him that because he carries an umbrella. We think he's a wizard. He's got the pink eyes, anyway."
Dragcrell (10:50:34 PM): *growls at the Dwarf then moves closer and starts to search him again*
MilesMk1 (10:51:05 PM): #Does that sound like the guy we met around that beetle... nest, Alex? The one who was headed for it?#
delioch (10:51:23 PM): is there a guard post near by?
Thematrian1 (10:51:26 PM): He lays a hand on her chest. "Your group fired at me, remember. I propose a truce. We're getting out of here anyway, you can do whatever you came to do."
Thematrian1 (10:51:40 PM): SF: No. The closest one is around the corner and down the block, maybe fifty meters away
Umbrafer (10:51:47 PM): #Who? Neil?#
delioch (10:51:49 PM): ok
delioch (10:52:15 PM): what do you mean.. were you in side"points towards building
MilesMk1 (10:52:17 PM): #Wasn't there a second one? He headed for us, then ran, and you couldn't catch him.#
MilesMk1 (10:53:05 PM): "Fine... If you have any other high explosives on you, set them down, then you can go."
Dragcrell (10:53:23 PM): *looks down at the dwarfs hand the growl growing* "Move hand orrrr lose it prrray."
Umbrafer (10:53:24 PM): Come to that, what did he look like? *Digs*
MilesMk1 (10:53:33 PM): "No offense, but I wouldn't want temptation to get the better of you once you're around the corner."
MilesMk1 (10:54:16 PM): #SC, let him be... We have how many guns at him?# (also, I think his slowness in responding has more to do with the GM getting swamped with lots of actions...)
Thematrian1 (10:54:26 PM): He hesitates, but gives in on hearing your reasoning. He slowly and carefully removes three mroe grenades (two red, one green) from his coat, and leaves him on the floor.
MilesMk1 (10:54:33 PM): (...guns on him, I mean)
Thematrian1 (10:54:41 PM): Alex, you're in the van? Has the van rounded the corner?
Umbrafer (10:55:12 PM): Van has not rounded the corner. Van has pulled up to the corner and become stationary.
Dragcrell (10:55:34 PM): #he trrrys something hes dead#
delioch (10:55:49 PM): i pick up the green one..
Thematrian1 (10:56:39 PM): Dwarf: "May I borrow a radio? Mine met with an accident, and I'd like to call the troops off."
MilesMk1 (10:57:03 PM): (we had a spare radio around somwhere, looted by SC, didn't we?)
delioch (10:57:04 PM): .....
delioch (10:57:36 PM): i gave it too her
MilesMk1 (10:58:23 PM): (I also replaced mine with an encrypted one, so I ought to... bah, I'm making life easier and saying we do:))
MilesMk1 (10:58:43 PM): *passes him a spare radio, without a headset so he has to talk in the open*
delioch (10:58:55 PM): i start looking for a way up the wall
Thematrian1 (10:59:00 PM): (You do indeed have a spare, at this point)
Thematrian1 (10:59:32 PM): He carefully adjusts the dial, then speaks into it. "Things are fine, gang. We've come to an arrangement."
delioch (10:59:33 PM): #make a note of the frequency he is using#
MilesMk1 (10:59:44 PM): "By the way, where has Rain Man and his lot got away to?"
MilesMk1 (10:59:54 PM): *does so*
Thematrian1 (11:00:14 PM): From the radio: #Ratchet! We thought - # He interrupts: "You're in the clear, Boris."
delioch (11:01:08 PM): #whats the frequency he is using?#
delioch (11:01:25 PM): #i'll keep a eye on them#
delioch (11:01:38 PM): #or ear whatever#
Thematrian1 (11:01:48 PM): You have the frequency.
MilesMk1 (11:02:01 PM): *passes on the frequency*
delioch (11:02:23 PM): places it in a slot on my radio
delioch (11:02:34 PM): then starts to climb the wall
Thematrian1 (11:02:40 PM): go for it
delioch (11:02:57 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 5 4 6 1
MilesMk1 (11:03:01 PM): ...
delioch (11:03:06 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
Dragcrell (11:03:23 PM): #any of you know a mage female thats small with dozens of long, darrrk brrraids?#
MilesMk1 (11:03:35 PM): #Could you wait for him to leave, do you think?#
delioch (11:03:51 PM): #no#
delioch (11:04:02 PM): (thtas for sc)
MilesMk1 (11:04:06 PM): *takes the radio back* "All right, you're free to go. Sorry about the grenades, but I'm not taking any chances."
Thematrian1 (11:04:30 PM): He nods. "May I have your names?"
delioch (11:04:35 PM): #why ? did you see a amge#
delioch (11:04:44 PM): (mage)
Dragcrell (11:05:35 PM): #just wounderrring# *climbes in to the back of the van* #dont give him names#
delioch (11:06:12 PM): #give him fake names#
delioch (11:06:38 PM): #like tasiloff and riverwind and shit like that#
MilesMk1 (11:07:16 PM): "I'm James... The rest of them are rather shy."
Umbrafer (11:07:56 PM): #Give him my pseudonym if you need to.#
Thematrian1 (11:08:04 PM): He nods, backing up.
delioch (11:08:14 PM): i'll wait til i get to the top of the wall before i check on his friends
MilesMk1 (11:08:29 PM): I watch him go, but don't keep the gun trained on him.
Dragcrell (11:09:00 PM): *takes up her usal spot*
Thematrian1 (11:09:49 PM): unless someone interferes, he turns and walks slowly away, eventually disappearing behind the far corner of the Tower walls
MilesMk1 (11:10:01 PM): I leave him be,
MilesMk1 (11:10:20 PM): I do get his grenades. (and make sure they haven't been set to explode...)
delioch (11:10:34 PM): i took the green one
MilesMk1 (11:10:47 PM): #All right, what now? Either the tower security is asleep, or they're waiting for more of us to come over the wall.#
Dragcrell (11:10:49 PM): #mage whent the same way he did#
Thematrian1 (11:11:07 PM): SF has the green one, and now Blake has the other two.
MilesMk1 (11:11:18 PM): #And this is not a good place for us to cross, if we want the van to be able to provide us with support.#
delioch (11:11:29 PM): do i hear anything from them
MilesMk1 (11:11:41 PM): #Not to mention that this has to be the slowest surprise assault in history.#
MilesMk1 (11:12:22 PM): #Perhaps that's what's throwing them off...#
MilesMk1 (11:12:43 PM): #They're trying to figure out what we're the diversion for.#
delioch (11:13:01 PM): #why don't you go down by the first guard post while i scout #
Umbrafer (11:13:05 PM): #Pick a spot and let's go, or we're pulling out for at least four hours..#
Dragcrell (11:13:07 PM): #orrr therrre dead#
Umbrafer (11:13:09 PM): *-.
Dragcrell (11:13:51 PM): *makes quiet mewing sounds and holds her head*
delioch (11:13:56 PM): whats the distance between the wall and the building it protects?
CirclMastr (11:14:07 PM): #What are we doing, exactly?#
MilesMk1 (11:14:11 PM): #Fine. I'm moving to the guard post, you meet me there. Alex, can you get the shield drone deployed when you have the chance?#
MilesMk1 (11:15:03 PM): (Gah... This all stinks.)
Umbrafer (11:15:05 PM): #Got it.# *Deploying shielddrone, sending it around to Blake*
MilesMk1 (11:15:22 PM): #We're doing reconeissance in force.#
MilesMk1 (11:15:32 PM): *moves on the the guard post*
CirclMastr (11:15:38 PM): #That sounds more like "charging in recklessly" #
Umbrafer (11:15:44 PM): *Puts the feed from the Schattenauge and the shielddrone up on the van monitors*
CirclMastr (11:15:52 PM): *looks*
MilesMk1 (11:16:22 PM): #There's a fine line, there.#
delioch (11:16:46 PM): i turn on my ultra sound detector/emitterand climb down the other side of the wall
MilesMk1 (11:17:03 PM): #If I can preserve whatever momentum we have left, I'm doing this. If there's serious resistance, I'm pulling back.#
delioch (11:17:15 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 4 6 3 1 1
delioch (11:17:28 PM): delioch rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
delioch (11:17:36 PM): #ok#
Thematrian1 (11:18:10 PM): SF: You're in. The grounds are as described:: flowers by the wall, well-mowed grass further in, with bushes lining the paths that lead up to the Tower's main doors.
delioch (11:18:53 PM): i move slowly... searching before and around me for mines so i don't go boom
delioch (11:19:08 PM): stealth
delioch (11:19:16 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 6 2 6
delioch (11:19:25 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
Thematrian1 (11:19:49 PM): searching for mines how?
Thematrian1 (11:20:00 PM): Meanwhile: Alex, you reach the gate. It's closed.
Umbrafer (11:20:34 PM): Hm. #Drone's at the gate.#
MilesMk1 (11:21:40 PM): I hoof it up to the drone.
MilesMk1 (11:21:53 PM): What kind of gate is it? Bars, solid metal, how big?
Thematrian1 (11:22:19 PM): it is hoofed. Bars, about eight feet high, it looks like metal but it's probably some more-durable ceramoplastic thing
delioch (11:23:05 PM): i 'll have to look for anything on the ground/ gress that looks out of place. anything that could be a digused switch/trigger.should i roll for the ultrasound emitter?
delioch (11:23:18 PM): (grass)
MilesMk1 (11:23:41 PM): Does it look like I could take it down - by going through the hinges, say - with a burning bar?
Thematrian1 (11:23:44 PM): SF: That you have one is good enough. Roll for the search, though.
Thematrian1 (11:23:51 PM): Blake: almost certainly
delioch (11:24:15 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 5 3 6
MilesMk1 (11:24:28 PM): Mhmm... Does there appear to be any less drastic way of gaining access? I'm assuming grenades won't do it.
delioch (11:24:32 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
Thematrian1 (11:25:20 PM): no. The gate is curiously dented, too. It looks like someone tried to ram it.
CirclMastr (11:25:57 PM): (Sounds familiar)
delioch (11:26:24 PM): (i'll have to get one of those devices that reads magnetic energy for this kind of thing)
MilesMk1 (11:26:26 PM): I do also have some pre-made C12 charges... Would those do the trick?
MilesMk1 (11:26:42 PM): (and does anyone have an opinion on what would be the better bet?)
delioch (11:27:15 PM): (don't you have some of that stuff that goes less boom and more burn/melt like)
MilesMk1 (11:27:22 PM): Thermite.
Thematrian1 (11:27:24 PM): SF: Where is it you're headed?
Umbrafer (11:27:30 PM): (I've got no idea. I don't like the idea of using thermite on it, but I'd rather than than make a big boom.)
delioch (11:27:36 PM): towards the main building
delioch (11:27:55 PM): (ya thermit thats it)
MilesMk1 (11:28:23 PM): Ok... I'll actually use one of my thermite charges to make out a nice, van-sized hole in the gate. (this time, I specified getting many magnesium-based remote detonators...)
Dragcrell (11:28:26 PM): (well could hit the hinges/locks but I dout its that type of gate)
MilesMk1 (11:28:38 PM): The burning bars can come in handy later.
delioch (11:29:01 PM): (put them on the van for more armour)
delioch (11:29:37 PM): (over windows or something)
MilesMk1 (11:29:59 PM): (Oh, and before I do this, I'll load my rifle with AV rounds. Just in case drones or automated defenses come into play...)
Thematrian1 (11:30:08 PM): (So noted)
delioch (11:31:20 PM): as i go i will stop ever so often to look around for camria and other security problems
MilesMk1 (11:32:11 PM): I don't think we need to worry about cameras... I think they'll notice we're here, if they haven't already. :) Unless you mean to say you'll be shooting the cameras. :)
Thematrian1 (11:32:18 PM): Shadow Fire: You've reached the main building, safely unexploded. The Tower's wall extends for another fifteenish meters in either direction, toward and away from the team.
delioch (11:32:58 PM): did i see any camera.. that were on?
MilesMk1 (11:33:05 PM): (sorry... can you explain that wall bit again?)
Thematrian1 (11:33:21 PM): (This is a bitch without diagrams. One sec)
delioch (11:33:36 PM): k
Thematrian1 (11:33:44 PM): Ok. We have the outer wall, which guards the grounds. Call that our baseline. There's a gate in the wall, which Blake is presently next to.
delioch (11:34:20 PM): k
Thematrian1 (11:34:47 PM): The gate opens on a gently curving path which leads to an entrance in one wall of the Tower. The tower itself is square, oriented so that one of its points is facing the south wall
Thematrian1 (11:35:23 PM): of the two inner Tower walls that converge on that point, Shadowfire is now on the left, about fifteen meters from the southern point and thirty meters (not fifteen as I said before) from the eastern one
MilesMk1 (11:36:45 PM): (So, an actual wall of the building itself, as opposed to another external wall of some kind.)
Thematrian1 (11:37:21 PM): (Yes)
MilesMk1 (11:37:35 PM): (Ok, I blow the gate.)
delioch (11:38:02 PM): i'll find a way inside
Thematrian1 (11:38:30 PM): There's that walkway, leading to the big glass doors you saw earlier.
Thematrian1 (11:38:45 PM): Alternately, according to the plans you obtained, there should be another one on the northwest wall
Thematrian1 (11:38:52 PM): and the northeast one, come to that
delioch (11:39:16 PM): whats the plains say about the doors?
MilesMk1 (11:39:21 PM): (And if I manage that, I'm afraid it's time for me to go do that sleep thing)
Thematrian1 (11:39:35 PM): (Using the C12? If so, roll Demolitions)
MilesMk1 (11:39:46 PM): (BTW, Jon - unfortunately, I probably won't be able to make it Thursday.)
delioch (11:39:47 PM): ya i got to do that soon
MilesMk1 (11:39:58 PM): (Nah, I was going to use the thermite charge on the hinges.)
MilesMk1 (11:40:24 PM): (The consensus seemed to be that Burning > Blowing Up)
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

delioch (11:41:54 PM): you think we should stop here for this week?
Thematrian1 (11:41:58 PM): blah, lost a bunch of messages there
Thematrian1 (11:42:42 PM): thermite on the hinges works, the big glass doors are meant for employees
MilesMk1 (11:43:46 PM): Ok, I thermite the hinges.
Dragcrell (11:43:59 PM): (well have fun I'm off to dreamland)
delioch (11:44:01 PM): i'll work my way over towards there but i'll not stepp out infront of it.
MilesMk1 (11:44:05 PM): (And, unless something drastic happens, I think I need to call it a night.)
Umbrafer (11:44:07 PM): (Got it.)
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

delioch (11:44:18 PM): (ok, me too)
Thematrian1 (11:44:20 PM): (So do I. Sleep well, we'll pick up netxt week)
delioch (11:44:33 PM): later
delioch has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:44:40 PM): (Remind me, do we have stuff we can do without Matt on Thursday?)
Thematrian1 (11:44:57 PM): Probaby. What sort of goodies came out of that journal?
MilesMk1 (11:45:05 PM): (Crap just keeps coming up... Hopefully, you can handle some of the fun stuff Gem is undergoing... Hmm, I thought there was a bunch.)
Umbrafer (11:45:20 PM): (Right, right. We're still meeting Thursday, then, though we may end early.)
Thematrian1 (11:46:02 PM): (Good times, and good night)
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

CirclMastr has left the chat room.
