Dragcrell (9:08:24 PM): S.C. was in the van in her useal spot, I think mmmmm Tom? or was it Toby? was in the van as well I think as well as the two kids the man we found in the burning bus was starting to moan and awaken but unshoure where he was at think
Dragcrell (9:08:43 PM): still in the can handcuffed and gaged mmmm think thats all
CirclMastr (9:08:43 PM): ....
Dragcrell (9:08:51 PM): <_< what?
CirclMastr (9:08:56 PM): Todd
Dragcrell (9:09:38 PM): ^_^ well give me some room was 3+ weeks ago
Thematrian1 (9:09:47 PM): yes, ok. Kids, moaning unconscious man, gates that seem to have withstood one ramming already
CirclMastr (9:10:03 PM): Ah, but that wasn't a RIGGER ramming
Umbrafer (9:12:49 PM): It may have been.
MilesMk1 (9:13:07 PM): Actually, gates that just got burned off the hinges by a thermite charge, right?
MilesMk1 (9:13:27 PM): Or was I just about to do that? I thought I was on the grounds, but I could be wrong, it was 3 weeks.
Dragcrell (9:13:37 PM): Oh ya thats right forgot that part my bad
Dragcrell (9:13:53 PM): >_> hehehehe
Thematrian1 (9:14:53 PM): Did they? Jon, do you have the log?
Dragcrell (9:15:32 PM): ya woudl be a good idea to put em up lol my memory is good but still misses shit
Thematrian1 (9:16:52 PM): brb, moving garbage. Plot amongst yourselves
Dragcrell (9:17:04 PM): hehehe
Thematrian1 (9:20:07 PM): I have an experiment I'd like to try
CirclMastr (9:20:17 PM): Uh oh
CirclMastr (9:20:24 PM): I will NOT wear the helmet again!
Thematrian1 (9:21:15 PM): I think you'll find that you will
Dragcrell (9:21:22 PM): ^_- what sort of experiment?
CirclMastr (9:21:37 PM): :(
Thematrian1 (9:22:19 PM): I found something interesting on line
Thematrian1 (9:22:25 PM): a way to easily share drawings among several people
Thematrian1 (9:22:26 PM): maybe
Dragcrell (9:22:40 PM): uh oh >_>........
Thematrian1 (9:22:50 PM): I hope it will solve the persistent problem I've had of how to show you how things are laid out without having anything to draw on
CirclMastr (9:23:07 PM): Artpad?
Umbrafer (9:23:38 PM): http://www.sotsw.net/runs/SotSW%2006-20-06.html
Umbrafer (9:24:44 PM): Ah yes, the experiment. I concur.
Thematrian1 (9:25:24 PM): yeah. That sort of thing. There seems to be a limit of 2 to the number of people I can invite
Dragcrell (9:25:25 PM): *shurges* I'm for it I think I can a spot for another window someplace on my monitor hehehe
Thematrian1 (9:25:28 PM): so, you know, boo
Umbrafer (9:28:15 PM): Ugh.
Umbrafer (9:28:20 PM): So where's the Strato in all this?
Thematrian1 (9:28:55 PM): yeah, I can invite 2 people. Damnation. Sorry about the build-up, folks
Dragcrell (9:29:05 PM): *thinks* I belive being retreaved or still stitting at the cornor of the tower
Umbrafer (9:29:26 PM): Sorry, not Strato, Schattenauge.
Dragcrell (9:29:29 PM): can't rember exactly which tho and to lazy to read the logs lol
Thematrian1 (9:31:50 PM): that's right, SF had scaled the walls
Thematrian1 (9:33:02 PM): The Schattenauge is where you want it to be, more or less. I believe you were observing the main gate.
MilesMk1 (9:33:46 PM): I checked the log, and it appears that my last declared action was to set off the thermite.
Thematrian1 (9:34:07 PM): ok. Give me Demolitions or Intelligence and don't rule-of-1
Thematrian1 (9:35:44 PM): Meanwhile, the tied and gagged guy groans some more. His eyes are still shut.
Thematrian1 (9:37:11 PM): He jerks once, briefly, against his bonds, then goes still.
Dragcrell (9:37:27 PM): (mmm he in the van or the car?)
CirclMastr (9:37:34 PM): (He's in the car)
Thematrian1 (9:37:43 PM): yeah. Who else is there?
MilesMk1 (9:38:02 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 1 6 1
MilesMk1 (9:38:07 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:38:10 PM): That was INT.
Dragcrell (9:38:11 PM): (errrrrrrrrr no one only ppl in the car at any time was S.fire and Blake)
Thematrian1 (9:39:10 PM): oh. Well, don't I feel silly.
CirclMastr (9:39:26 PM): I know he was put in the car.
Thematrian1 (9:40:16 PM): Blake: you've got some experience with thermite at this point, so you burn the hinges off without any difficulties. Less than a minute later,half the gate sags free of its moorings and crashes to the ground.
Dragcrell (9:41:33 PM): *remains in her spot hood pulled down and staying still makeing a mewing sound every so often*
Umbrafer (9:41:59 PM): *Switches attention back and forth, forth and back*
Thematrian1 (9:42:54 PM): long practice protects you from the nausea that sometimes accompanies such rapid transitions. There's no response from the Tower.
MilesMk1 (9:43:50 PM): *sigh*
MilesMk1 (9:44:00 PM): I advance, under the cover of the Shield Drone.
Umbrafer (9:44:22 PM): I keep close watch for any deploying antipersonnel weapons.
MilesMk1 (9:44:25 PM): #Alex, you recon didn't spot any automated defenses outisde?#
Umbrafer (9:44:36 PM): #None exposed.#
Umbrafer (9:44:40 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 4 6 4 6 1 5
Umbrafer (9:44:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 2 6 4 2 5 4 3 1 3 6 4 5 1 1
Umbrafer (9:44:44 PM): Er
Umbrafer (9:44:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
Umbrafer (9:44:50 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 5 5 3 5
Umbrafer (9:44:53 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (9:45:04 PM): (That last one is because the Schattenauge has Sensors 6 and I never remember that)
Thematrian1 (9:45:04 PM): Todd: you doing anything exciting?
Thematrian1 (9:45:10 PM): (What with the Strato, yeah)
Thematrian1 (9:45:20 PM): SC mews pitifully
Thematrian1 (9:46:00 PM): There are gun ports listed for the towers on either side of the gates, but they're shut at the moment.
Umbrafer (9:46:23 PM): (Stratos are all 5, van's 5, I live in a world of Sensors 5)
CirclMastr (9:46:50 PM): (Todd is mostly wondering if he was better off with the last gang of psychos)
Dragcrell (9:47:54 PM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (9:49:36 PM): so, the van it is then?
Umbrafer (9:52:07 PM): (?)
Thematrian1 (9:52:31 PM): Blake: you approach the employee entrance. The path to get there winds a bit, following the shrubs on either side. Perception.
MilesMk1 (9:53:48 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 2 2 2
MilesMk1 (9:53:53 PM): Nothing good will come of this.
MilesMk1 (9:54:26 PM): BTW, I periodically reposition myself behind the drone, to make it harder for someone to aim at me.
MilesMk1 (9:54:51 PM): (or to put it differently, I never look over it in the same spot for long)
Thematrian1 (9:54:54 PM): you approach. You hear the steady hum of the shield drone, but other than that the evening is quiet. Far above you, at the top of the tower, a light flickers from time to time. No, several lights, spaced many feet apart
MilesMk1 (9:55:19 PM): #Alex, any idea about those lights up top?#
MilesMk1 (9:55:58 PM): If I see no obvious threats, I'll move for the entrance, still looking for threats.
Umbrafer (9:55:58 PM): Zoom in, take a good hard look.
Umbrafer (9:56:02 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 1 6 6 3 5
Umbrafer (9:56:06 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 5 5
Umbrafer (9:56:11 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 6 3 5 6
Umbrafer (9:56:14 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Thematrian1 (9:56:54 PM): you don't. The inside of the building is dark; the glass doors are still standing and unmolested
Thematrian1 (9:59:55 PM): Alex: the lights are being emitted by creatures roughly four feet long. Their rear sections occasionally light up, then dim again
Thematrian1 (10:01:32 PM): Definitely bugs
Umbrafer (10:02:01 PM): Aw shit.
Umbrafer (10:02:14 PM): #Fireflies. Watch yourself.#
Thematrian1 (10:05:01 PM): Blake: you're at the door.
Thematrian1 (10:05:05 PM): Todd: you're in the van
Thematrian1 (10:05:07 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 6 4 4 5
CirclMastr (10:05:15 PM): ::is in the van::
Thematrian1 (10:07:25 PM): Blake: inside, you can make out most of a huge reception area - you could hold a game of tennis inside no problem, if you got all the stuff cleared out
Thematrian1 (10:08:22 PM): Hanging from the ceiling is a long, narrow viewscreen, probably intended to display messages to people as they enter. Inside, the area is divided into dozens of corridoors leading to elevators by pieces of rope hung from poles
MilesMk1 (10:11:34 PM): #I wonder if they're the reason for the lack of defenses...#
MilesMk1 (10:11:46 PM): #Did we find out if this place was warded?#
MilesMk1 (10:12:04 PM): Are there any obvious ways of opening the doors?
MilesMk1 (10:12:25 PM): Or are they of the automatic sort, and locked down at the moment?
Thematrian1 (10:12:45 PM): Automatic, and shut. If they were supposed to open when you approached, well...they didn't.
MilesMk1 (10:12:51 PM): Mhmm.
MilesMk1 (10:13:08 PM): I'll duck behind the drone and take a moment ot seal up my armor and attach the respirator.
MilesMk1 (10:13:12 PM): to
MilesMk1 (10:13:32 PM): #Looks like I'm going to have to blow the doors.#
MilesMk1 (10:13:45 PM): (or is there some convenient control pannel I could perhaps bugger?)
Thematrian1 (10:13:57 PM): You can see one, but it's on the other side of the doors.
Umbrafer (10:13:58 PM): #Want a crippled Strato to watch your back?#
MilesMk1 (10:18:00 PM): #Sure. This will be noisy.#
Dragcrell (10:18:36 PM): #I can come as well if you wish.#
Umbrafer (10:18:47 PM): #MMG or launcher?#
MilesMk1 (10:19:00 PM): Does Blake know whether he'd be better off using one of his C12 charges, or just backing up a bit and blasting with a grenade?
MilesMk1 (10:19:14 PM): #Launcher. If we run into bugs, it'll be more use. I think.#
Umbrafer (10:19:45 PM): *Pops out the GL strato*
MilesMk1 (10:19:49 PM): #Or... Hell. MMG, you need to be able to fire if I get into hand to hand. Sorry.#
Umbrafer (10:20:12 PM): #Control's iffy on these things, that spirit did them a good one.#
Umbrafer (10:20:21 PM): #I'm not firing them near you anyway.#
Thematrian1 (10:21:06 PM): Blake: roll demolitions to make guesses about that
Dragcrell (10:21:40 PM): *slips down off the side of the van and slowly makes her way to Blake*
MilesMk1 (10:24:36 PM): Defaulting to INT...
MilesMk1 (10:24:39 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 6 6 6 3 5
MilesMk1 (10:24:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 5 4
MilesMk1 (10:24:47 PM): Huh.
Umbrafer (10:26:08 PM): *Whipwhipwhipwhipwhipwhipwhip*
Thematrian1 (10:26:12 PM): You've actually had to do this before, way back in the distant past. A grenade will provide enough force to shatter anything they might have put in there
Thematrian1 (10:26:20 PM): We have SC, Blake, and a Strato by the doors
Umbrafer (10:26:35 PM): Splitting my time 25-50-25 Van-Strato-Schattenauge.
Dragcrell (10:26:59 PM): *look over the area around the doors*
MilesMk1 (10:27:30 PM): *backs up, makes sure SC and the Strato are clear, and grenades the door*
MilesMk1 (10:27:50 PM): /roll-dice 8
Thematrian1 (10:27:51 PM): whumpcrashtinkle
MilesMk1 (10:27:56 PM): Ah. Ok.
MilesMk1 (10:28:06 PM): (brb, I need to take a photograph of someone, apparently...)
Thematrian1 (10:28:06 PM): it's a stationary target ten feet wide. No roll is necessary
Dragcrell (10:29:18 PM): "You both like make alot of noice and makeing stuff go boom dont you."
Thematrian1 (10:29:23 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (10:29:32 PM): Perception for the three of you
Thematrian1 (10:29:46 PM): oh, and a different perception for Todd
Dragcrell (10:29:57 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 3 5 4 4
Umbrafer (10:30:07 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 5 4 4 2 5 4 2
Umbrafer (10:30:16 PM): 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, crap.
Thematrian1 (10:31:09 PM): Alex hovers
MilesMk1 (10:31:30 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 3 4 3 5
MilesMk1 (10:31:35 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
CirclMastr (10:31:56 PM): (brb, dinner)
Dragcrell (10:32:08 PM): #OH shit something just came out sounded like Alex's turrrrrruts opeing#
Thematrian1 (10:32:11 PM): (Roll perception first please)
Umbrafer (10:32:32 PM): *Gets eaten by default*
Thematrian1 (10:38:09 PM): We wait for Matt. And Dave, since his roll is important.
Dragcrell (10:38:49 PM): >_> nice we have a informal cliffhanger now
MilesMk1 (10:42:27 PM): #I think we just had a turret deploy inside.#
MilesMk1 (10:42:39 PM): #SC's right.#
Thematrian1 (10:42:43 PM): Ok SC, you may take your action now.
Dragcrell (10:43:34 PM): *yonks Blake around a wall out of the doorways path*
Thematrian1 (10:44:22 PM): Blake: do you wish to resist?
MilesMk1 (10:44:50 PM): No.
MilesMk1 (10:44:53 PM): I suppose.
MilesMk1 (10:45:18 PM): (Though I'd like to point out I have my own mobile cover.)
Thematrian1 (10:45:29 PM): Speaking of, said mobile cover has how much armor?
MilesMk1 (10:45:37 PM): Jon?
Dragcrell (10:46:01 PM): (ya but dose S.C. relise this?)
Thematrian1 (10:46:33 PM): (That she trusts buildings more than drones I'd hardly find surprising)
Dragcrell (10:47:06 PM): (or what said drone is used for :3)
Umbrafer (10:48:51 PM): Sorry. Straight up and out of the way.
Umbrafer (10:48:59 PM): (Vehicle armor 5)
Thematrian1 (10:49:29 PM): It is pelted with 14D worth of 10-round machine-gun burst
Umbrafer (10:50:19 PM): Ouch. AV?
Dragcrell (10:50:36 PM): ( >_> mmmmmm well)
Thematrian1 (10:50:47 PM): nope
Umbrafer (10:50:56 PM): Base damage?
Umbrafer (10:51:43 PM): Waitaminute, 14D? They using tracers, or is it firing hold-out rounds?
Thematrian1 (10:51:53 PM): tracers
Umbrafer (10:52:17 PM): Got it. Anyway, since Power isn't above 10 unmodified, it bounces.
Thematrian1 (10:52:34 PM): pingpingpingpingpingpingping
Thematrian1 (10:53:47 PM): after the first burst, the gun goes quiet
Dragcrell (10:54:09 PM): "You like flurrrting with death I think dwarrrf." *purrs softly*
Umbrafer (10:54:27 PM): I command the shielddrone and have it scoot behind the wall.
MilesMk1 (10:54:46 PM): I would like to try to do a quick peep-and-shoot from behind the corner.
Thematrian1 (10:55:36 PM): ok, roll initiative everybody
Umbrafer (10:55:43 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 4
MilesMk1 (10:55:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 4
MilesMk1 (10:55:49 PM): 23
Umbrafer (10:55:54 PM): 26
Dragcrell (10:56:11 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 6
MilesMk1 (10:57:00 PM): (I can actually shrug off a 14D burst right now, just as long as it's only one before I get out of the line of fire.)
MilesMk1 (10:57:32 PM): (And/or it's not APDS.)
Dragcrell (10:57:38 PM): 18
Umbrafer (10:57:52 PM): (I'm just worried they've got a backup.)
MilesMk1 (10:58:09 PM): (Hey, I'm certainly not getting cocky...)
Umbrafer (10:58:10 PM): (You know, fire a burst, figure out whether the threat's gone, then fire an APDS/AV burst)
Dragcrell (10:58:40 PM): (and that was a volcal from S.C.)
Umbrafer (10:58:46 PM): (And remember, every security system we destroy is one more system we need to replace)
Thematrian1 (10:59:05 PM): Ok, at the top of the order we have Alex in her shield drone. It scoots away from the doors.
Thematrian1 (10:59:38 PM): Blake
Umbrafer (10:59:46 PM): *Scoot*
MilesMk1 (11:00:24 PM): I'll look around the corner, and try to nail the turret if I can. (preferably then leaning back out of sight)
MilesMk1 (11:00:56 PM): Using the AK loaded with AV rounds.
Thematrian1 (11:01:47 PM): you peek. The turret is dangling down from behind the viewscreen (if the viewscreen is much sturdier than it looks this provides it with cover, otherwise no benefit). It begins to seek on you as soon as you move; either there's a
Thematrian1 (11:01:51 PM): brain behind it or it's rigged
MilesMk1 (11:02:33 PM): Does that mean it'll shoot at me first?
MilesMk1 (11:02:48 PM): Or that I have to choose between shooting and getting fired at, or leaning back?
Thematrian1 (11:03:43 PM): neither; it just might start suppressing the area later
Thematrian1 (11:05:24 PM): so by all means take your shot if you want to, there's no danger you'll be fired upon
MilesMk1 (11:05:37 PM): Excellent. Three-round burst.
MilesMk1 (11:05:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 3 2 4 6 1 6 4
MilesMk1 (11:05:49 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 3
MilesMk1 (11:06:01 PM): That's... 11S, AV ammo.
Thematrian1 (11:06:06 PM): your vision mods are what in near darkness?
MilesMk1 (11:06:12 PM): None.
MilesMk1 (11:06:20 PM): As long as it's not utter darkness.
MilesMk1 (11:06:41 PM): Trying for a shot through the viewscreen.
MilesMk1 (11:06:52 PM): Rather than aiming around it and suffering cover mods.
Umbrafer (11:07:21 PM): Cover would still give it armor, if it exists. That said, we
Umbrafer (11:07:23 PM): 're finding out.
Thematrian1 (11:07:48 PM): You hit the viewscreen three times. The display panel shatters into jagged shards, revealing something gray and unyielding behind it. No effect.
CirclMastr (11:07:50 PM): (Back(
Thematrian1 (11:07:52 PM): Shadow Cat, you're up
CirclMastr (11:07:53 PM): *)
Thematrian1 (11:07:56 PM): (Awesome. Roll hearing)
CirclMastr (11:08:23 PM): 3
CirclMastr (11:08:27 PM): (Oops)
MilesMk1 (11:08:28 PM): (I assume we're treating the lean-shoot-lean back maneuver as a complex action, like we did before?)
CirclMastr (11:08:29 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 4 5
CirclMastr (11:08:35 PM): (4, crap)
Thematrian1 (11:08:39 PM): (That seems reasonable)
MilesMk1 (11:08:56 PM): #Armor plate behind the screen. Hmm.#
MilesMk1 (11:09:45 PM): (And a shitload of it, to stop AV rounds... Unless structural armor works differently?)
Thematrian1 (11:10:18 PM): (It's Barrier, not armor, so yeah.)
MilesMk1 (11:10:22 PM): (Ah.)
Thematrian1 (11:10:24 PM): (And, yeah, rather a lot)
Thematrian1 (11:10:49 PM): (Designed with explosives in mind rather than AV, but the principle is much the same)
Umbrafer (11:10:54 PM): So to be clear, what's the setup here?
Umbrafer (11:11:00 PM): That's the question you least wanted to hear, I know :)
Thematrian1 (11:11:18 PM): There's you guys, just to the right of the wide doorway which until recently contained glass
Umbrafer (11:11:25 PM): Yep
Thematrian1 (11:11:26 PM): There's the inside, which is a maze of rope corridoors
Thematrian1 (11:12:28 PM): There's the ceiling on the inside, which has a machine gun dangling from an articulated arm (with a gray power/sensor/whatever pack behind the firing mechanism) and a long narrow viewscreen suitable for displaying helpful
Thematrian1 (11:12:48 PM): platitudes, which is apparently backed by milspec construction
Umbrafer (11:13:12 PM): And what's the relationship between the gun, the viewscreen, and the line of sight from the door?
Thematrian1 (11:14:02 PM): The screen is between the thing that's holding the gun up and the door. Incidentally, the gun made an effort to pull itself up behind the viewscreen as Blake fired, though it wasn't really fast enough.
Umbrafer (11:14:54 PM): Interesting. We're dealing with a Rigger or a Robot, probably, neither of which are good.
CirclMastr (11:15:21 PM): Or maybe even a Riggerbot!
Thematrian1 (11:16:55 PM): Todd: Alice tugs on your sleeve to get your attention
Umbrafer (11:17:00 PM): RINAB?
Thematrian1 (11:17:18 PM): Rigger IN A Box?
CirclMastr (11:17:22 PM): ::looks over at her with a small smile:: "What is it?"
CirclMastr (11:17:34 PM): (Rigger IS A Box)
Umbrafer (11:17:36 PM): Yep
Dragcrell (11:18:25 PM): *scales up the wall to the top of the door then in to the room along its ceiling*
Thematrian1 (11:18:31 PM): She points out the back window, where the guy you rescued is clearly visible, limping down the street with his hands cuffed behind him
Thematrian1 (11:18:51 PM): away from the van, not especially furtively
CirclMastr (11:19:05 PM): #Umm... that guy from the bus is hobbling away.#
Umbrafer (11:19:41 PM): #Aw crap.#
CirclMastr (11:20:24 PM): ::pats Alice's arm gently:: "Don't worry, it'll be okay."
Umbrafer (11:21:53 PM): (He's totally going to kill us all now.)
Thematrian1 (11:22:06 PM): (When has that ever happened?)
Thematrian1 (11:22:33 PM): SC charges into the room along the ceiling.
Thematrian1 (11:22:37 PM): Alex is up for round 2
Dragcrell (11:22:48 PM): ( *cough* that could be a bad thaing with SC 's case)
Dragcrell (11:22:57 PM): #Stop him#
CirclMastr (11:23:13 PM): #Me? What if he zaps me or something?#
Umbrafer (11:23:17 PM): Popping into the van.
MilesMk1 (11:23:30 PM): #He's blindfoled, the poor bastard.#
MilesMk1 (11:24:18 PM): #He's not zapping anyone. Just talk him down.#
Thematrian1 (11:24:22 PM): Alex: in. You still have a simple
CirclMastr (11:24:31 PM): http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=2881
Thematrian1 (11:24:37 PM): the blindfold is missing, actually
CirclMastr (11:24:57 PM): #He is not blindfolded. I don't want to get zapped.#
Thematrian1 (11:26:19 PM): Alex, take your Simple action or don't.
Umbrafer (11:26:21 PM): OID the leaving guy.
Thematrian1 (11:26:24 PM): good times
CirclMastr (11:26:29 PM): (OID?)
Umbrafer (11:26:33 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 5 4 3 4 3 6 5

MilesMk1 (11:26:50 PM): (Observe In Detail)
CirclMastr (11:26:54 PM): (Ah)
MilesMk1 (11:27:19 PM): (BTW, I meant to ask... Is that "Shopping? I had to kill..." quote one of mine?)
Thematrian1 (11:27:31 PM): (Yes)
MilesMk1 (11:27:50 PM): (I don't remember writing that, but it did sound like something I'd have Blake say.)
Thematrian1 (11:28:09 PM): Ok. He's entirely uninjured; even the minor burns he sustained in the deadly fire are missing. The blindfold is missing too, but he's still handcuffed. Your first impression was "limping", but it's closer to
Thematrian1 (11:28:35 PM): "staggering"; he may not be injured but he's clearly tired to death.
Umbrafer (11:29:30 PM): #He's not hurting anything. Maybe he can help us. I'll get a bead on him in case.#
Thematrian1 (11:29:42 PM): Ok, that's that. Blake
MilesMk1 (11:29:52 PM): I'll try my last move, again.
MilesMk1 (11:30:16 PM): Alert to the possibility this time it might have a ready action to spray me with bullets.
MilesMk1 (11:30:33 PM): And I'll shoot around the damn metal plate, this time.
Thematrian1 (11:31:16 PM): ok. It does indeed have such a readied action (though it probably wasn't intended for you personally).
MilesMk1 (11:31:46 PM): So, does it fire at me?
Thematrian1 (11:31:50 PM): It's a full burst; you may attempt to dodge but the penalties are hellacious IIRC.
MilesMk1 (11:31:57 PM): Uh... Yeah.
MilesMk1 (11:32:02 PM): No, no doge for me.
Umbrafer (11:32:03 PM): If it's 10 rounds, +3 TN.
Dragcrell (11:32:08 PM): ....... wow........>_>
Umbrafer (11:32:09 PM): +1/3 rounds.
MilesMk1 (11:32:15 PM): dodge
Thematrian1 (11:32:27 PM): No doge for you either.
MilesMk1 (11:32:39 PM): Let's hope it's not all that accurate, what with cover and so on.
Dragcrell (11:32:40 PM): X_x
Thematrian1 (11:32:42 PM): Genovese authority figures are thin on the ground in Chicago.
Thematrian1 (11:32:49 PM): anyhoo, let's see:
Thematrian1 (11:32:53 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 6 6 2
Thematrian1 (11:33:00 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
MilesMk1 (11:33:07 PM): ...
Thematrian1 (11:33:08 PM): 2 successes.
Umbrafer (11:33:16 PM): Hm.
Dragcrell (11:34:51 PM): (mmmm so do we have Dwarfpata or not?)
MilesMk1 (11:35:08 PM): What do I resist?
Umbrafer (11:35:10 PM): (He hasn't been force-fed, so his liver wouldn't be very good anyway)
Thematrian1 (11:35:35 PM): 2 successes, so 13D
Dragcrell (11:35:44 PM): (lol or would it be Cream-o-Dwarf in this case?)
MilesMk1 (11:35:50 PM): Mhmm.
MilesMk1 (11:36:03 PM): Ok, throwing my CP into this one...
MilesMk1 (11:36:07 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 4 1 6 1 4 6 4 3 2 2 1 5 5 6
MilesMk1 (11:36:11 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Thematrian1 (11:36:16 PM): 3 sixes
MilesMk1 (11:36:34 PM): 9 successes
Dragcrell (11:36:43 PM): ( >_> dame lucky ass dwarf)
MilesMk1 (11:37:20 PM): Do I need to soak any extra dice over D, or am I in the clear?
Thematrian1 (11:37:36 PM): God damn it. 12D, with 2 successes.
CirclMastr (11:37:56 PM): Huh? I thought extra successes over D increased the Power
Thematrian1 (11:37:58 PM): three weeks and everything I think I know about SR goes straight down the disposal
Thematrian1 (11:38:02 PM): Only for melee combat
Thematrian1 (11:38:07 PM): ranged does it the other way
MilesMk1 (11:38:26 PM): Ok, so I got 12 successes, then.
MilesMk1 (11:38:37 PM): No, 13.
MilesMk1 (11:38:40 PM): My turn.
Thematrian1 (11:38:42 PM): yep
Dragcrell (11:38:45 PM): (lol)
MilesMk1 (11:38:54 PM): before I duck back into cover.
MilesMk1 (11:38:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 4 5 4 1
MilesMk1 (11:39:02 PM): Bah.
MilesMk1 (11:39:15 PM): Oh well. All things considered, I am not unhappy with this round.
Thematrian1 (11:39:39 PM): 4 - 2 + 4 = 6, so no successes. Your aim is a bit off, but what with one thing and another you're willing to forgive yourself
Thematrian1 (11:39:54 PM): Shadow Cat continues to charge across the ceiling. What's your total movement, SC?
Dragcrell (11:40:50 PM): (.......sssssssssssssssshit......)
Dragcrell (11:42:58 PM): (Reboots brain..........)
Thematrian1 (11:43:17 PM): SC charges some more. She covered 18 meters this round, and is maybe 10 from the ex-viewscreen
Thematrian1 (11:43:22 PM): Top of the third. Alex?
Umbrafer (11:43:38 PM): Sensor lock on Leaving Guy
Umbrafer (11:43:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 1 1 1 4
Umbrafer (11:43:48 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (11:43:54 PM): ker-lock
Thematrian1 (11:44:57 PM): Blake?
MilesMk1 (11:46:23 PM): Rules-wise, could the turret have lit me up and then readied an action to do it again if I stick my head out?
Dragcrell (11:46:29 PM): (throws rocks at the crickets)
MilesMk1 (11:46:32 PM): (assuming it had enough actions)
Thematrian1 (11:46:58 PM): Yes.
MilesMk1 (11:47:26 PM): Well, I'm all out of CP. I stay put this time.
MilesMk1 (11:47:46 PM): Actually, no.
Thematrian1 (11:47:56 PM): ah?
Dragcrell (11:48:14 PM): (lol I could make a coment but well wisly stay silent)
MilesMk1 (11:48:18 PM): I ready an action to lean and shoot if I hear it open up on SC.
Thematrian1 (11:48:44 PM): you'll have to limit that to "hear it open up", but other than that that's fine
MilesMk1 (11:49:01 PM): As long as it's a given I won't lean into a stream of tracers. :)
Thematrian1 (11:49:57 PM): ok, ok. The round ends, a new one begins. The former burn victim hobbles. Todd, you're not acting?
CirclMastr (11:50:10 PM): I'd prefer not to, at this point.
CirclMastr (11:50:23 PM): Since going outside equals DEATH by insane guy.
MilesMk1 (11:50:26 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 3
MilesMk1 (11:50:29 PM): 22
Umbrafer (11:50:35 PM): ("Too bad! Get out there and get mageblasted!" ;) )
Umbrafer (11:50:38 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 6 4 1
Umbrafer (11:50:50 PM): 28
Dragcrell (11:51:13 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 3 1 6
Thematrian1 (11:51:15 PM): Fair enough. Todd, at the bottom of the last round Alice and Duncan processed that and exchanged a look.
Dragcrell (11:51:34 PM): (oh good lord >_< another one of them nights I see)
Dragcrell (11:51:42 PM): 12
Umbrafer (11:51:44 PM): (Man, the kids probably only get one pass.)
Umbrafer (11:51:52 PM): (Someone should slap wired-1 in them just out of pity or something)
CirclMastr (11:51:53 PM): ("He's not a REAL shadowrunner, he won't face senseless death when already injured!")
Dragcrell (11:52:31 PM): (lol ment my crap rolls)
Thematrian1 (11:52:32 PM): Ok Alex, again you're starting us off
Thematrian1 (11:52:36 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 2 6 3 3
Umbrafer (11:53:20 PM): #Check the guy out. I've got you covered.#
CirclMastr (11:53:41 PM): #You sure?#
Thematrian1 (11:54:00 PM): (Roll init, Todd, even if you don't intend to use it)
Thematrian1 (11:54:21 PM): Ok, Alex has more coming but it's not going to relate to the action by the door, so: Blake
CirclMastr (11:54:24 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 5 2
CirclMastr (11:54:29 PM): (18)
MilesMk1 (11:54:53 PM): I'll risk taking a shot at the turret.
MilesMk1 (11:55:04 PM): Do I get lit up, again?
Umbrafer (11:55:15 PM): #Got him locked. If he so much as looks at you the wrong way, I can take him down.#
Thematrian1 (11:55:29 PM): You step out of cover. It blasts you.
CirclMastr (11:55:33 PM): #You COULD save us all some trouble and do that now...#
Thematrian1 (11:55:34 PM): Or, lean out, rather
Thematrian1 (11:55:37 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 2 3 2 4
Thematrian1 (11:55:59 PM): But it fires too early; all ten bullets either miss or perforate the walls of the building.
MilesMk1 (11:56:40 PM): Ok...
MilesMk1 (11:56:44 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 4 6 2 1 2 4
MilesMk1 (11:56:50 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 6
MilesMk1 (11:57:15 PM): 11S
MilesMk1 (11:57:30 PM): AV rounds. Die!
Thematrian1 (11:57:31 PM): AV, right?
Thematrian1 (11:57:32 PM): yeah

MilesMk1 (12:02:11 AM): I shot it so hard, it knocked him off the internet. ;)
Thematrian1 (12:02:21 AM): as I was saying before I kicked the power cord, you shoot up the mounted gun
Thematrian1 (12:02:39 AM): once it crouched on the ceiling, black and deadly as a spider. Now it dangles, though it's still tracking you
Dragcrell (12:02:54 AM): (test)
MilesMk1 (12:03:21 AM): I still lean back, in order not to tempt fate.
Thematrian1 (12:03:22 AM): Shadow Cat's turn, then we end the game at the end of the pass
CirclMastr (12:03:35 AM): Doh
Thematrian1 (12:03:47 AM): ah, yes
CirclMastr (12:03:50 AM): I never even got to be brave (well, pretend to be brave) in front of the kids.
Thematrian1 (12:03:55 AM): Todd does get an action, should he wish to claim it
CirclMastr (12:04:21 AM): "Stay here, kids." ::gets out of the van and goes after Hobbling Man::
CirclMastr (12:04:28 AM): (::dies::)
Dragcrell (12:04:36 AM): (>_> well that was fun)
Thematrian1 (12:05:07 AM): Todd: you speak just as Alice is gathering herself to spring out the back doors after him. She doesn't quite fall, but only because Duncan manages to grab her
Thematrian1 (12:05:10 AM): Shadow Cat?
Dragcrell (12:06:05 AM): *heads for turret*
CirclMastr (12:06:07 AM): #...Damn, Alice was actually going to chase after that guy.#
Umbrafer (12:06:53 AM): #Probably knew that if she went you'd have to go.#
Thematrian1 (12:07:19 AM): Staggering Man continues to stagger. SC, and then we're done
CirclMastr (12:07:28 AM): #I don't know if that's good or bad for me.#
Thematrian1 (12:10:03 AM): SC swarms over (under?) the broken viewscreen, right up next to the turret. That's her action. Next week, the thrilling finale!
Dragcrell (12:10:19 AM): lol closeing
Umbrafer (12:11:28 AM): *Clings by fingertips*
CirclMastr (12:11:49 AM): *Is already reading about Pac-Man*
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (12:11:56 AM): huh?
CirclMastr (12:12:14 AM): Your cliffhangers have no effect on those who only partially pay attention! Mwahahaha!
Umbrafer (12:12:38 AM): Hanging off cliffs, and other such structures.
MilesMk1 (12:13:00 AM): Well, some of us (the ones actually getting shot at) do care. :)
MilesMk1 (12:13:38 AM): See you guys Thursday. (most likely, though work's been busy - there's a small but non-trivial chance I won't be there)
CirclMastr (12:14:19 AM): Doh
MilesMk1 (12:16:00 AM): Later.
