Dragcrell has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (7:36:19 PM): so, not terribly well
umbrafer (7:36:44 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (7:37:07 PM): he was dubious over how well they'd play out. Then he was forced out of the chat somehow
Dragcrell has entered the chat room.

umbrafer (7:37:30 PM): Ahah
umbrafer (7:37:35 PM): That's the part I was missing
Dragcrell (7:37:45 PM): *sighs* back space not esc BACK SPACE >_< I realy need to stop doign that with Aim
Dragcrell (7:39:21 PM): Oh off hand any of you know a good net music player? Music Match is ending its serves aug 31st and Y!music only works with XP and Vista *sivers*
umbrafer (7:39:47 PM): ?
circlmastr (7:39:47 PM): iTunes? *shrug*
Dragcrell (7:40:38 PM): I don't think iTunes works with PC's
circlmastr (7:40:51 PM): It does.
Dragcrell (7:40:53 PM): I run Win2K Jon
umbrafer (7:41:08 PM): It does, unless you're runing Linux/BSD. 2K, though, I don't know about. It might be XP-only.
Thematrian1 (7:41:11 PM): My officemates all run iTunes, on XP though. It may work on 2k
umbrafer (7:41:29 PM): Apparently 2K is suppoted.
umbrafer (7:41:33 PM): Supported, even.
Dragcrell (7:41:39 PM): mmmm how much for it?
circlmastr (7:41:51 PM): It's free to download.
Dragcrell (7:43:13 PM): I ment a month
Dragcrell (7:44:40 PM): oh intresting note apparently were I live there not even selling the iPhone in any of the stores here
Thematrian1 (7:45:16 PM): None in South Dakota either. My relations were a bit put out.
Dragcrell (7:46:01 PM): lol ya here there's not enufe of the net working it uses to run it apparently
Thematrian1 (7:48:57 PM): ok, this'll have to be a bit of a short session, so: When we left off, SC was dead or something and everyone else was hauling it back to Sigrun's
Dragcrell (7:49:05 PM): ok well I'll look in to that iTunes lets game
Thematrian1 (7:51:30 PM): SC, you are lying in the ruins of a card game. There are explosions outside, and a couple more gunshots. What do you do?
Dragcrell (7:51:49 PM): try and get up and head down stairs
Thematrian1 (7:52:36 PM): Your vision swims, then snaps into focus. You're hungry, but up.
Thematrian1 (7:53:13 PM): People are swarming all over the place, variously toward and away from the main garage doors. You've no trouble joining either swarm, if you wish.
Dragcrell (7:54:28 PM): *looks around for the ppl that are not running around if non are in site I stop someone*
Thematrian1 (7:56:48 PM): No, it's pretty much 100% running. Or, woah, riding: some ork's wearing security armor and straddling the vindicator drone, which is spinning up as it speeds toward the main doors
Dragcrell (7:57:53 PM): *grabs hold of the cloest person then*
Thematrian1 (7:58:02 PM): "Graak! What?"
Dragcrell (7:58:21 PM): "Wherrre is the ones in charrrge?"
Thematrian1 (7:59:49 PM): "Sigrun's down here someplace. They're sending those tankers around, her and somebody."
Dragcrell (8:00:27 PM): "is therrre a back doorrr to this place?'
Thematrian1 (8:00:59 PM): "First floor windows maybe?"
Dragcrell (8:02:06 PM): *lets the guy go and seek out ether Sigrun or signs of a person thats orgniseing the counter*
Thematrian1 (8:03:48 PM): You seek a bit. Almost a minute later, you find her, wiring something into something else on a larger drone in one of the large machining rooms.
umbrafer (8:06:06 PM): (That took longer than anticipated, sorry)
Dragcrell (8:06:15 PM): "you have a plan I hope as its probbly a Berrrrett the one is useing I've rrran in to bounty hunterrr that used it beforrr."
MilesMk1 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (8:07:13 PM): Evening.
umbrafer (8:07:20 PM): Woot!
MilesMk1 (8:07:23 PM): I almost didn't check my e-mail.
umbrafer (8:07:30 PM): *Phew*
umbrafer (8:07:38 PM): Sorry for the misinformation.
Thematrian1 (8:07:42 PM): My fault, really.
MilesMk1 (8:08:27 PM): No problem.
umbrafer (8:08:31 PM): Your airline's fault.
Thematrian1 (8:08:35 PM): "Ambush us, will they..."
Thematrian1 (8:09:12 PM): "If only we'd had time to armor those tankers."
MilesMk1 (8:09:28 PM): (someone fill me in?)
circlmastr (8:09:36 PM): (I'm lost, myself)
Dragcrell (8:09:49 PM): "is therrre a back way out of herrre one that can't be seen frrrom the frrront?"
Dragcrell (8:10:08 PM): ( all hell busted lose after you left >_>;)
Thematrian1 (8:10:19 PM): (Last week, SC was shot and killed, as far as you know, by a sniper attacking the garage. While you don't know that Appollonia is the target, no one's suggested anything else)
umbrafer (8:10:26 PM): (We're rushing back to the Garage, which is under attack. If you wanted to bring any of the haul back with us, speak up now, as Alex is worried enough to forget all of it)
umbrafer (8:10:53 PM): (I mean, it's safe, comparatively. Zbyhnev has it.)
circlmastr (8:11:04 PM): (Todd has just been not getting healed and getting CT'd by a bug for the duration of his stay at the garage, so he's happy to leave it behind.)
umbrafer (8:11:29 PM): (He can if he wants to. He'll be mighty lonely and doctorless if he does, though.)
MilesMk1 (8:12:05 PM): (I'll probably grab the chips but leave the hardware behnd.)
Dragcrell (8:12:07 PM): (......ya well kitty is a bit low on the 9 lives area so....)
MilesMk1 (8:12:24 PM): (Did you have to use Hand of God?)
umbrafer (8:12:29 PM): (Yes, it descended.)
Thematrian1 (8:12:39 PM): Sigrun: "You can use one of the back windows."
MilesMk1 (8:13:05 PM): (Again? See, this is a lesson, being able to regenerate < not taking D wounds to begin with)
Dragcrell (8:13:39 PM): "mmmm you have any..." *thinks* "nabalme gerrrnades and somethign to light it with?"
MilesMk1 (8:13:50 PM): (And Todd... Didn't Todd stay at the garage? Or did he end up coming with us?)
Thematrian1 (8:14:03 PM): (I had thought he was staying. Todd?)
MilesMk1 (8:14:10 PM): (I guess he did stay.)
Thematrian1 (8:14:15 PM): She waves an impatient hand. "Around here somewhere."
Dragcrell (8:14:26 PM): (>_> you try and doge a sniper tho would had been fine just bad roll is all)
circlmastr (8:14:33 PM): (Todd is staying with whoever has the chopper)
MilesMk1 (8:14:47 PM): (At the garage, then.)
circlmastr (8:14:50 PM): (And is presently preferring to stay IN the chopper, if that's an option.)
Dragcrell (8:15:04 PM): *rummegs around for said items*
Thematrian1 (8:15:09 PM): (Garage, then, though you weren't on the roof or in the chopper; you didn't mention it before the party started last week. You may go there now if you wish)
MilesMk1 (8:15:09 PM): (Sure, just walk across the roof and get in, and hope the sniper doesn't fire again...)
MilesMk1 (8:15:39 PM): "What's our ETA to Sigrun's?"
Dragcrell (8:15:47 PM): (uhhhhhh I dont think even being in the chopper would be overly safe but I've been on the buissnes end of it)
Thematrian1 (8:16:05 PM): You are several minutes away at best speed.
circlmastr (8:16:16 PM): (The chopper is my armored womb!)
MilesMk1 (8:17:05 PM): (I shot down an armored chopper with an assault rifle, like a week and a half ago, game-time. Two and a half years, real time?)
MilesMk1 (8:17:27 PM): (Of course, I don't know how armored it was, but...)
umbrafer (8:17:39 PM): (I think it might have been a little longer, but yeah)
Thematrian1 (8:17:42 PM): (Appollonia is probably more armored than that one. Also, I wasn't as good at SR then)
MilesMk1 (8:17:53 PM): (Mhmm.)
umbrafer (8:18:14 PM): (Plus, those were amateurs ;) )
MilesMk1 (8:18:36 PM): (Perhaps, though I think I mainly was able to do it because you wasted CP dodging Alex's fire, then rolled really well with two bursts of AV rounds.)
Dragcrell (8:18:40 PM): (well even the most armored vehicles have weak points ;3 )
Thematrian1 (8:19:09 PM): (I haven't read that log in a while. If you had AV rounds, it makes more sense)
umbrafer (8:19:19 PM): (He used a grenade.)
umbrafer (8:19:24 PM): (IPE.)
umbrafer (8:19:34 PM): (Wait, AV?)
umbrafer (8:19:37 PM): (You sure?)
MilesMk1 (8:19:39 PM): (Definitely did. Nope, the grenade was Shojo shooting at the other chopper, much earlier.)
Thematrian1 (8:19:40 PM): Todd, what are you doing? SC, you don't see any napalm around casually, but Sigrun is no longer watching you.
umbrafer (8:19:46 PM): (Oh.)
umbrafer (8:19:52 PM): (Oh, /right/)
umbrafer (8:19:57 PM): (I remember now.)
circlmastr (8:20:03 PM): Todd is I guess still in the infirmary, wishing someone would give him medical treatment.
MilesMk1 (8:20:15 PM): (Blake never got the hug he was promised for that one.)
umbrafer (8:20:26 PM): (Dude, I've been waiting for medical treatment for two years :P )
Thematrian1 (8:20:40 PM): Todd hangs out, waiting peacefully for someone to help him.
Thematrian1 (8:20:56 PM): SC is searching for grenades. She eventually finds a whole box marked 'white phosphorous'
Dragcrell (8:22:01 PM): *just purrrrs and finds a way to carry a few in a way that leaves her hands free*
umbrafer (8:22:13 PM): :D
Thematrian1 (8:22:13 PM): There's shooting, engine revving, and more shooting.
Thematrian1 (8:22:37 PM): You still have some pockets left; this death wasn't explosion related so your clothes are mostly intact.
Dragcrell (8:23:19 PM): that works ^_^
Thematrian1 (8:26:02 PM): Similarly, one of the small offices in the back has a window that's not boarded up. Two guys are pointing guns out of it, but apparently there's no excitement there yet; it faces a blank wall anyway
Dragcrell (8:26:40 PM): *heads for the window looking befor heading out*
umbrafer (8:26:44 PM): You never know when Gyoubu will suddenly appear in Shadowrun.
Thematrian1 (8:26:55 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (8:27:03 PM): (Should we be flattered that they tried this when we weren't there?)
Thematrian1 (8:27:10 PM): (I would be)
umbrafer (8:27:20 PM): (Basilisk character. His ninja technique was merging with walls and ground and travelling through them)
Thematrian1 (8:27:45 PM): (Impressive)
Dragcrell (8:27:56 PM): (mmmm depends they much better off haveing to fight you guys or the now rather pissed off tiger?)
MilesMk1 (8:27:57 PM): (Of course, if they did that, they might have someone with an AT rocket waiting for us to come back. I assume Alex is paranoid enough to think of that, but...)
Thematrian1 (8:28:13 PM): (You might want to mention it out loud; she has a lot on her mind)
umbrafer (8:28:14 PM): (Probably, normally.)
Thematrian1 (8:28:28 PM): Ok. SC, you're out. No one's trying to shoot you.
Thematrian1 (8:28:34 PM): Todd: no one offers you medical treatment.
circlmastr (8:28:45 PM): That's nothing new.
Dragcrell (8:29:25 PM): ok I make my way around to the back of the group thats fireing on the garage useign the buildings as cover keeping a eye out for sentrys
MilesMk1 (8:30:03 PM): *mentions it outloud*
umbrafer (8:31:06 PM): "Hm? Oh. Yeah, right. Thanks."
Thematrian1 (8:31:06 PM): You slip down the alley. Nothing fires on you from above. Peeking around the edge toward the street, you see one of the tankers, parked, with bullets hailing down around it.
umbrafer (8:31:42 PM): My plan is to get to within… hm. How fast do you run again?
Dragcrell (8:32:47 PM): ^_- mmmm ok I take extra care on the approch then
Dragcrell (8:34:30 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 2 1 2 4
MilesMk1 (8:34:35 PM): 12 meters per round.
MilesMk1 (8:34:53 PM): 16 on average if I use a complex action to run.
umbrafer (8:35:54 PM): Hm. Getting to within 300 meters, then lofting a Strato. Staying out of LOS of any buildings immediately around the Garage, if possible.
Thematrian1 (8:37:25 PM): ok. That puts you about fifteen seconds ahead of the action.
umbrafer (8:38:14 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (8:38:24 PM): Ok, you're there. Strato is up and running
Thematrian1 (8:39:26 PM): flying, whatever
umbrafer (8:39:55 PM): *Whipwhipwhipwhip*
umbrafer (8:41:01 PM): (Why did I do this again? My dodge TN in this thing is 5 now!)
MilesMk1 (8:41:07 PM): *seals his helmet and gets ready to shoot people*
Thematrian1 (8:41:16 PM): (Hell, I dunno. I assumed you had a plan)
umbrafer (8:41:37 PM): (I've got plenty of plans. They're all left over from when I and my drones were unwounded.)
umbrafer (8:41:51 PM): (Ah well.)
umbrafer (8:42:34 PM): Let me know when we go into init. Until then, I'm going to barely crest the rooftops and scan for hostiles, buildinghopping towards the Garage.
Thematrian1 (8:43:17 PM): roll actives
Thematrian1 (8:43:25 PM): on the Strato, that is
umbrafer (8:43:52 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 3 6 4 5
umbrafer (8:43:55 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
umbrafer (8:44:03 PM): 8, 3, 2, 2
umbrafer (8:44:14 PM): Also looking visually, horrible as the mods on that are
umbrafer (8:44:16 PM): umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 4 2 1 2 1 2 6 2 6
umbrafer (8:44:19 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
umbrafer (8:44:22 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
umbrafer (8:44:34 PM): 13, 4
Thematrian1 (8:45:01 PM): ok. 300 meters out, you spot the fight no trouble: a gun battle between a four-story roof across from the garage and one of the tankers, which is somehow firing back from the tank area. Appollonia is also in the air...
Thematrian1 (8:45:20 PM): ...making these weird little hops around the garage roof and firing at empty air.
umbrafer (8:45:26 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (8:45:34 PM): Todd is not receiving medical treatment, but your roll wasn't good enough to reveal that.
umbrafer (8:45:57 PM): I can probably guess that :)
umbrafer (8:46:15 PM): #Helo's gone weird. Your doing?#
umbrafer (8:46:42 PM): Do I see any of the participants on the roof?
umbrafer (8:46:49 PM): See them directly, that is?
MilesMk1 (8:47:08 PM): #Nope.#
circlmastr (8:47:24 PM): #The helo's gone? Oh fuck...#
MilesMk1 (8:47:32 PM): *reaches out to the helo using his secure-ish radio setup*
MilesMk1 (8:47:54 PM): #Appolonia, status. Explain your flight pattern.#
MilesMk1 (8:48:12 PM): "Let me see if I can get in touch with her. It."
Thematrian1 (8:48:33 PM): #I am acting to preserve myself, consistent with your orders of April 11th.#
circlmastr (8:49:50 PM): #What the fuck are we going to do now?#
MilesMk1 (8:50:04 PM): #Acknowledged. What are you firing at?#
MilesMk1 (8:50:38 PM): #We're going to kill them all. The chopper's still with us, she's just decided not to be a sitting target.#
umbrafer (8:50:48 PM): Anything on the visibility status of the rooftop dudes/
umbrafer (8:50:50 PM): *?
circlmastr (8:50:59 PM): #As long as it comes back for us before it flies off....#
Thematrian1 (8:51:12 PM): The guys on the rooftop are wholely visible, peering over the edge and firing.
Thematrian1 (8:51:18 PM): Yelling their heads off, too
umbrafer (8:51:26 PM): Can I see what they've got for weapons?
umbrafer (8:51:33 PM): Probably not, but you never know.
umbrafer (8:51:43 PM): Well, actually, my roll wasn't as awful as I thought.
Thematrian1 (8:51:59 PM): From the gunfire you're hearing, probably assault rifles
umbrafer (8:52:14 PM): Ok. I'm going to pick one of them.
MilesMk1 (8:52:20 PM): #If the hostiles deploy anti-vehicular weaponry against you specifically, you're authorized to leave your current position and find hard cover.#
umbrafer (8:52:46 PM): Then I'm going to Take Aim, Take Aim, Take Aim.
Thematrian1 (8:52:49 PM): #Acknowledged, Mr. Ventures#
Thematrian1 (8:52:59 PM): You're taking aim. They're ignoring you.
Thematrian1 (8:53:09 PM): Then, actives one more time.
umbrafer (8:53:17 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 5 2
umbrafer (8:53:19 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
umbrafer (8:53:25 PM): 7, 7
umbrafer (8:53:27 PM): 1
umbrafer (8:53:35 PM): Wait
umbrafer (8:53:40 PM): 9 9 3
umbrafer (8:53:48 PM): This is Active, so it doesn't get the double-whammy
Thematrian1 (8:54:01 PM): ok. Reaction from you, then initiative for everybody.
umbrafer (8:54:29 PM): umbrafer rolled 14 6-sided dice: 3 1 2 6 1 1 6 4 2 5 3 1 4 2
umbrafer (8:54:33 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 5
MilesMk1 (8:54:39 PM): #Also, report the locations of any hostile movements you detect.#
MilesMk1 (8:54:48 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 4
circlmastr (8:54:51 PM): Even Todd?
MilesMk1 (8:54:51 PM): 23
Thematrian1 (8:55:06 PM): Todd may roll init or not, as he wishes.
Dragcrell (8:55:15 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 1 3 1
umbrafer (8:55:22 PM): Assuming this is a Surprise Test, two successes. If that isn't enough, I karma.
circlmastr (8:55:33 PM): circlmastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 4
Dragcrell (8:55:34 PM): 11
circlmastr (8:55:38 PM): (17)
Thematrian1 (8:55:43 PM): It is a surprise test, and two is fewer than the one by which you are opposed
umbrafer (8:55:49 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
umbrafer (8:55:57 PM): umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 1 6 2 6 2 3 2 1 3 3 6 6
umbrafer (8:56:07 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 5 2 5
umbrafer (8:56:25 PM): Six?
Thematrian1 (8:56:42 PM): Six is enough.
umbrafer (8:57:58 PM): Well, no sense wasting my Take Aims. I use my surprise action to 3-3-4 three of the guys on the roof. The first guy gets Aimed, the others probably don't get hit.
umbrafer (8:58:34 PM): How many Take Aims did I get through before the Surprise Test? Two, or all three?
Thematrian1 (9:00:12 PM): all three
umbrafer (9:00:25 PM): Awesome. Then:
Thematrian1 (9:00:28 PM): What's Alex's init?
umbrafer (9:00:44 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 6 5 2
umbrafer (9:00:53 PM): 27
umbrafer (9:02:33 PM): By my count: TN 6 (Long Range) -2 (Smartlink) +4 (wound mods) -3 (Take Aim), or 5
Thematrian1 (9:02:45 PM): Ok. You burst fire. Roll for it.
umbrafer (9:02:49 PM): umbrafer rolled 14 6-sided dice: 2 3 3 4 4 6 6 4 5 4 2 1 2 4
umbrafer (9:02:55 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 5
umbrafer (9:02:57 PM): Meh.
umbrafer (9:03:14 PM): Still, three ain't awful. I'll leave it.
umbrafer (9:03:37 PM): Next: 6-2+4+2 (switching target) = 10
umbrafer (9:03:41 PM): umbrafer rolled 7 6-sided dice: 1 5 4 2 1 3 4
umbrafer (9:04:08 PM): And finally, 6-2+4+2+2(switching target) +4 (recoil) = 16
umbrafer (9:04:14 PM): umbrafer rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 4 6 1 5 1 4
umbrafer (9:04:18 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
umbrafer (9:04:24 PM): Should've saved the ammo. Oh well.
Thematrian1 (9:04:52 PM): The first guy is very briefly surprised.
Thematrian1 (9:06:08 PM): The other three successfully startle away from the edge of the roof, and scramble to cover behind big brick chimneys. Around now, your ultrasound sensors pick up a guy leaning out behind a metal pipe on a different roof...
umbrafer (9:06:35 PM): Range, roughly?
Thematrian1 (9:06:36 PM): He fires something long and slender. Roll to dodge?
Thematrian1 (9:06:44 PM): ~350 meters
umbrafer (9:07:14 PM): I would say most likely, yes.
umbrafer (9:07:47 PM): umbrafer rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 2 4 4 6 3 4 2 1 6
umbrafer (9:08:08 PM): Crap. Two. If that's not enough, I'll try to Karma.
umbrafer (9:08:10 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 4
umbrafer (9:08:13 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
umbrafer (9:08:42 PM): (Cursed Karma was so not a good decision on my part.)
Thematrian1 (9:09:28 PM): (Haven't missed one yet, have you?)
Thematrian1 (9:09:57 PM): (Not so good on remembering it, I grant)
Thematrian1 (9:10:03 PM): Two is nowhere near enough
umbrafer (9:10:07 PM): (I have, IIRC twice. At least one of them was on a test where there was nothing left to take away (zero successes, trying to reroll failures))
umbrafer (9:10:11 PM): Karma.
umbrafer (9:10:14 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
umbrafer (9:10:17 PM): Phew.
umbrafer (9:10:22 PM): umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 6 5 6 2 4 2 2
umbrafer (9:10:31 PM): Five any better?
Thematrian1 (9:10:45 PM): it's better, but insufficient
umbrafer (9:10:59 PM): Hmrg. Well, the Strato can't soak, so even if I do…
umbrafer (9:11:06 PM): Karma^2.
umbrafer (9:11:09 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (9:11:23 PM): let's see it
umbrafer (9:11:27 PM): Magical thinking, now…
umbrafer (9:11:31 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 3 1 6 4
Thematrian1 (9:11:35 PM): argh
umbrafer (9:11:44 PM): Hmrg. Seven still no go?
Thematrian1 (9:11:57 PM): I'm sorry.
umbrafer (9:12:05 PM): C'est la vie.
umbrafer (9:12:31 PM): !!!
Thematrian1 (9:12:34 PM): On the plus si...?
umbrafer (9:12:41 PM): The cost doesn't increase exponentially!
Thematrian1 (9:12:49 PM): No, just geometrically
umbrafer (9:13:04 PM): Not that, either. It costs three karma to try again.
umbrafer (9:13:08 PM): Which means I get the choice.
umbrafer (9:13:13 PM): I'm not sure it's worth it, but…
MilesMk1 (9:13:21 PM): It could be.
Thematrian1 (9:13:27 PM): Yeah, yeah. The increase is linear, the total is geometric.
umbrafer (9:13:32 PM): Yeah.
umbrafer (9:13:51 PM): This first roll is not cursed karma. It is deciding whether to karma again.
umbrafer (9:13:54 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
umbrafer (9:14:19 PM): I'll do it. I feel (5/6)^3.
Thematrian1 (9:14:32 PM): ok then
umbrafer (9:14:38 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
umbrafer (9:14:42 PM): Heh.
umbrafer (9:14:50 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 3 3
umbrafer (9:14:55 PM): Well shit.
MilesMk1 (9:14:55 PM): Damn.
Thematrian1 (9:14:55 PM): ...
umbrafer (9:15:02 PM): Oh well
umbrafer (9:15:12 PM): Gimme the bad news. Or the good news you were about to givem e.
umbrafer (9:15:15 PM): *me
umbrafer (9:15:48 PM): Relatively good news, at least.
Thematrian1 (9:15:49 PM): Well, you almost dodged. Resist 13S, not 13D with more successes than you have body dice.
umbrafer (9:15:59 PM): Aw man.
umbrafer (9:16:08 PM): That's 13 AV?
Thematrian1 (9:16:16 PM): The good stuff, I'm afraid.
Dragcrell (9:17:23 PM): (now why dose that sound familure to me.......)
umbrafer (9:17:40 PM): One second while I look up the dump shock rules.
Thematrian1 (9:17:52 PM): Sure thing. Meanwhile, Blake has an action if he cares to take it
umbrafer (9:18:19 PM): Awesome. Drone Dump Shock is so much less nasty than the stuff from being directly jacked in.
Thematrian1 (9:18:30 PM): That seems fair.
Thematrian1 (9:18:51 PM): Or, no, Alex has another action and then Blake has an action
MilesMk1 (9:19:03 PM): Blake looks for targets, but since none are in LOS, I think...
Thematrian1 (9:19:18 PM): No. And you're still in the van anyway, aren't you?
umbrafer (9:19:19 PM): Less fair if you consider that there's no bonus to being directly jacked in. Alex doesn't really have any reason not to route her connection to the Van through the RCD at all times.
umbrafer (9:19:29 PM): He got out and started jogging towards the scene
Thematrian1 (9:19:32 PM): ...add it to The List, I guess.
umbrafer (9:19:43 PM): Anyway. Resistance:
Thematrian1 (9:19:56 PM): Thank you. But, no, you're a third of a kilometer out. You heard the gunshot and you're watching the strato fall, though
umbrafer (9:20:02 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
umbrafer (9:20:05 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
umbrafer (9:20:07 PM): Aww.
Thematrian1 (9:20:16 PM): what were you looking for?
umbrafer (9:20:20 PM): Not fall, though—it's at 9 boxes.
umbrafer (9:20:24 PM): 13. Stratos have no armor.
umbrafer (9:20:46 PM): It's their one drawback. Well, that and high Handling.
Thematrian1 (9:20:47 PM): Oh, I thought it had 5, and you were resisting DS with that roll.
Thematrian1 (9:20:55 PM): But ok, you see the strato stagger.
umbrafer (9:21:06 PM): But I don't get dumped, which means I take no dump shock.
umbrafer (9:21:27 PM): Unlike a direct connection, where Serious means I resist 6M Physical.
umbrafer (9:22:41 PM): Wait, so I didn't Surprise this guy?
umbrafer (9:22:47 PM): I tied him on the Surprise test?
Thematrian1 (9:23:12 PM): Correct. You're tied in init too, FWIW.
umbrafer (9:23:16 PM): Aw man.
umbrafer (9:23:24 PM): Talk about bad luck.
Dragcrell (9:23:38 PM): (maby :3)
Thematrian1 (9:23:44 PM): No, good karma, otherwise he'd have been first. By a considerable margin.
Thematrian1 (9:23:52 PM): That's what happened to SC, after all.
umbrafer (9:24:16 PM): Well, I will duck below the roofline, breaking LOS. While doing it, I give a parting shot.
Dragcrell (9:24:36 PM): (well not haveing a scope like vission ether so not like I knew what he had with him ether)
Thematrian1 (9:24:36 PM): ok. This is on init
umbrafer (9:24:44 PM): Yep
Thematrian1 (9:25:00 PM): roll 'em
umbrafer (9:25:24 PM): Well, I guess first:
umbrafer (9:25:37 PM): Do I have any reason to believe that he'll be able to fire again before I leave view?
umbrafer (9:25:54 PM): If so, belay and I'm Accelerating.
Thematrian1 (9:25:57 PM): He's still aiming at you, but it's a tenth of a second here, so who knows?
umbrafer (9:26:06 PM): Hm.
umbrafer (9:26:12 PM): One moment.
umbrafer (9:27:42 PM): 6-2+5=9... fortune favours the bold, I'm doing it.
umbrafer (9:27:51 PM): Wait
umbrafer (9:27:54 PM): +1
umbrafer (9:28:04 PM): Still doing it.
Thematrian1 (9:28:08 PM): heh
umbrafer (9:28:09 PM): (Relative Motion: Away)
umbrafer (9:28:21 PM): umbrafer rolled 11 6-sided dice: 5 5 5 4 1 4 6 6 2 4 5
umbrafer (9:28:24 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 4
umbrafer (9:28:27 PM): Hah!
Thematrian1 (9:28:32 PM): how many is that?
umbrafer (9:28:39 PM): Two successes. It was a 6-round burst.
Thematrian1 (9:28:53 PM): and so +6 to dodge tests? Hm...
MilesMk1 (9:29:08 PM): Nah, just +2.
umbrafer (9:29:10 PM): +2, actually. It's +1 per 3.
Thematrian1 (9:29:17 PM): ah, right
MilesMk1 (9:29:19 PM): Still not too good for him...
umbrafer (9:29:34 PM): Hopefully bad enough that he'll take a 15D hit.
umbrafer (9:29:38 PM): We'll see.
umbrafer (9:30:23 PM): On the one hand, it's good I didn't risk the van. On the other, I think the van would have had nine dodge successes on the first roll.
Thematrian1 (9:30:24 PM): As you fire, he ducks back behind his metal chimney. Your bullets tear right through it, but you don't see his body slump to the ground.
umbrafer (9:30:32 PM): Hmf.
Thematrian1 (9:30:54 PM): Todd: any actions?
Thematrian1 (9:31:11 PM): You can hear the main door opening, and someone started an alarm klaxon going on the second floor. God knows where they got it.
circlmastr (9:31:49 PM): #What's going on?#
Thematrian1 (9:32:34 PM): Appollonia, to Blake: #My attacker has withdrawn.#
MilesMk1 (9:33:11 PM): #There's some idiots on a rootop and they're shooting at us. That, and a sniper.#
MilesMk1 (9:33:41 PM): #Alex, think you can get me a little closer?#
MilesMk1 (9:34:28 PM): #Appolonia, let me know where he goes.#
Thematrian1 (9:35:29 PM): Appollonia: #He has moved...
Thematrian1 (9:35:42 PM): SC: you've reached the rooftop.
Dragcrell (9:36:44 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 4 1 4 4 1
Dragcrell (9:36:52 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
MilesMk1 (9:37:52 PM): (if I run over there, and we're in combat rounds, it'll take me about 30 rounds to get to the action)
Thematrian1 (9:37:59 PM): (Yeah, I know)
Thematrian1 (9:38:10 PM): (I recommend clinging to the van)
MilesMk1 (9:38:13 PM): (I was just explaining why I want a lift.)
Thematrian1 (9:38:15 PM): (Ride the turret, maybe)
MilesMk1 (9:38:21 PM): (I never actually got out.)
Thematrian1 (9:38:31 PM): (And I was just setting up a jo...oh? Wha?)
umbrafer (9:38:39 PM): (You didn't?)
umbrafer (9:38:42 PM): (My mistake)
MilesMk1 (9:38:55 PM): (Nah, I said I was sealing my helmet and getting ready to shoot people.)
Dragcrell (9:41:21 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 2 4 1
Dragcrell (9:41:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Dragcrell (9:41:46 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 4 3 3 5
circlmastr (9:41:58 PM): (brb, dinner)
Dragcrell (9:42:25 PM): (if Im lucky ya same here ^_^)
Dragcrell (9:42:45 PM): (tho staying at the comp just saying for S.C. that is)
Thematrian1 (9:42:54 PM): two white phosphorous grenades go off on the roof
umbrafer (9:44:20 PM): What roof?
MilesMk1 (9:44:27 PM): I was about to ask the same.
Thematrian1 (9:44:30 PM): The same one with the sniper
umbrafer (9:44:37 PM): !!!
umbrafer (9:44:38 PM): :D
umbrafer (9:44:43 PM): BURN!!!
Dragcrell (9:45:00 PM): (as i said think there much better off with you two or the pissed off tiger ;3 )
Thematrian1 (9:45:43 PM): The roof is now mostly doused in white phosphorous. That's all you can tell, though; I don't think anyone has vantage to the roof.
umbrafer (9:46:12 PM): I certainly hope I don't anymore.
MilesMk1 (9:46:14 PM): #Damn. Come on, get us closer, if we're lucky we get to shoot them as they try to run.#
Dragcrell (9:47:49 PM): (you saying two was a a bit of over kill?)
MilesMk1 (9:47:50 PM): (Our group doesn't really believe in the concept of overkill.)
MilesMk1 (9:47:50 PM): (I mean, I could claim I do, but I use grenade launchers indoors. With a lot of discretion, but they're still grenade launchers being fired indoors.)
Dragcrell (9:49:37 PM): (mmmm good point)
umbrafer (9:49:38 PM): (Well, I would've like to capture him alive, but my personal satisfaction is not worth risking the counterattack.)
Thematrian1 (9:49:38 PM): SC, you don't hear any screaming, but maybe whoever's up there is just dedicated.
Dragcrell (9:49:38 PM): :P that works I supose
umbrafer (9:49:39 PM): (Ping?)
Dragcrell (9:49:39 PM): (pong)
umbrafer (9:49:45 PM): (There we go.)
MilesMk1 (9:50:49 PM): (I think that just means you need to use more grenades. Or watch for him getting away.)
Thematrian1 (9:50:50 PM): anyhoo, that's it for Pass 1, now it's time for Pass 2! The first thing that happens is that a grenade explodes on the wall opposite SC, thrown from somewhere on the roof.
Thematrian1 (9:51:54 PM): She's four meters away, and so may dodge and is only resisting 11S anyhow.
Dragcrell (9:51:54 PM): dogeing
Dragcrell (9:51:57 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 4 2 4
Dragcrell (9:53:13 PM): (well or not)
MilesMk1 (9:53:13 PM): (it buys you more distance from the grenade)
umbrafer (9:53:14 PM): (Does Essie mind her meat tenderized?)
Thematrian1 (9:53:14 PM): I see 3 successes. SC must resist 8S.
umbrafer (9:53:14 PM): (Or lightly seared in some places?)
Dragcrell (9:53:15 PM): (so long as it still edible)
Dragcrell (9:53:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 2 2 5 5 1
umbrafer (9:53:40 PM): Aww.
Dragcrell (9:53:47 PM): (mmmm thats going to hurt for a bit)
Thematrian1 (9:54:08 PM): Alex, you're up!
umbrafer (9:55:03 PM): Harrumph.
umbrafer (9:55:37 PM): Swapping to van, Accelerating towards the target building but avoiding LOS to the roof.
umbrafer (9:55:57 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 5 1 2
circlmastr (9:56:00 PM): (Back)
umbrafer (9:56:00 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
umbrafer (9:56:20 PM): (That's… four, still. I love my van.)
Thematrian1 (9:56:23 PM): vrroom. What is your speed?
Thematrian1 (9:56:33 PM): (I'm less thrilled ;-))
umbrafer (9:56:44 PM): Right now, 12 mpt
Thematrian1 (9:57:55 PM): Blake: anything exciting to do?
umbrafer (9:58:20 PM): (Even if you take away my VCR-3, it's still 4. 3 if the terrain is Restricted.)
Thematrian1 (9:58:42 PM): Appollonia: #...through a trapdoor, into the building I landed on.#
MilesMk1 (9:59:59 PM): (Wait, did she just say he went through a trapdoor into the garage? That being the building she landed on?)
Thematrian1 (10:01:30 PM): (That is the building she landed on, and there is a trap door in the roof)
MilesMk1 (10:01:30 PM): (I thought he was on some distant building.)
Thematrian1 (10:01:30 PM): (The sniper who shot Alex is. Apparently Appollonia's attacker was right there with her)
MilesMk1 (10:01:31 PM): (Oh. Ah, shit.)
MilesMk1 (10:01:33 PM): #Guys, Appolonia just told me the person trying to get at her went down into the garage through a trap door!#
MilesMk1 (10:02:05 PM): #Todd, look alive - we might have trouble. Tell Sigrun, and watch out for anyone acting suspicious.#
MilesMk1 (10:02:34 PM): #That must be why she was flying so strangely.#
circlmastr (10:03:16 PM): *does as told, and gets razor out, grumbling*
Thematrian1 (10:03:24 PM): snikt!
circlmastr (10:03:40 PM): I don't think straight razors go snikt
Thematrian1 (10:03:44 PM): And, hey, look at that, Todd has an action in the second pass!
Thematrian1 (10:03:50 PM): Well, maybe they should
umbrafer (10:03:55 PM): They do if you do it right.
Thematrian1 (10:04:51 PM): Todd, anything else?
circlmastr (10:05:12 PM): Well, not really.
umbrafer (10:05:36 PM): Go hunting! How bad can your mods really be, anyway?
Dragcrell (10:06:08 PM): >_> I think he is close to be up there with alex by now....
MilesMk1 (10:06:17 PM): And tell Sigrun.
circlmastr (10:06:19 PM): +2 from injuries, and I have no vision enhancement so any darkness/smoke/etc. fully applies.
umbrafer (10:06:39 PM): Alex is the only character in the party who can manage a +9 TN from wound mods alone, I think.
Thematrian1 (10:06:50 PM): The lights are still on. There's no smoke where you are, either.
umbrafer (10:07:06 PM): Also, vision mods count half in melee.
Dragcrell (10:07:22 PM): well I could just most dont stay
Thematrian1 (10:08:23 PM): Meanwhile, SC has an action
Dragcrell (10:09:38 PM): ( I REALY hope on one wanted this roof >_> )
Dragcrell (10:09:46 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 3 4 4
Dragcrell (10:09:55 PM): /roll-dice 1
Dragcrell (10:10:00 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (10:12:22 PM): A third WP grenade blossoms on the roof. You've gotta wonder where the owners are in all of this, assuming it's not the owners shooting at you.
umbrafer (10:14:35 PM): The owners are probably either dead, incapacitated, or cooperating with these people.
MilesMk1 (10:14:43 PM): Or running.
Thematrian1 (10:14:45 PM): ok. That's it for Pass 2! #3 now begins!
umbrafer (10:15:13 PM): *Drive drive drive*
Dragcrell (10:15:31 PM): (well the roof is screwed i would say)
Thematrian1 (10:15:45 PM): Van drives. How fast?
Thematrian1 (10:15:58 PM): It's cover 4m so far.
Thematrian1 (10:16:10 PM): Or, no, 8
umbrafer (10:17:07 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 6 3 2 2 3
umbrafer (10:17:21 PM): 27 mpt
Thematrian1 (10:17:52 PM): 17 in all, then. The sniper is quiescent. Blake?
Thematrian1 (10:17:56 PM): Meanwhile, Todd?
MilesMk1 (10:18:50 PM): *directs Appolonia to do a scan of the burning roof for still-living snipers*
circlmastr (10:19:16 PM): Todd... continues looking for Sigrun to inform him?
MilesMk1 (10:19:31 PM): Her.
Thematrian1 (10:20:26 PM): Her. Ok, you're out in the hallway. Several figures are moving toward you, carrying another guy among them.
Thematrian1 (10:21:38 PM): Appolonia: #Understood, Mr. Ventures.#
Thematrian1 (10:22:47 PM): One of them suddenly stumbles, looking confused.
Dragcrell (10:23:19 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 4 3 5
umbrafer (10:24:00 PM): Sigrun Utskjoer. Don't mispronounce her name.
Thematrian1 (10:25:05 PM): Heh. That's the Turn. New initiative!

Dragcrell (10:25:41 PM): 15
umbrafer (10:25:46 PM): 25
umbrafer (10:25:47 PM): Wait
umbrafer (10:25:48 PM): 26
MilesMk1 (10:25:49 PM): Shit, don't you just know it - when I have nothing to do, I roll 3 actions, no problem.
umbrafer (10:25:52 PM): I forgot my Reaction went up
Dragcrell (10:27:25 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 1 5 5 4
Dragcrell (10:27:33 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:29:36 PM): Ok. Alex: Acceleration?
umbrafer (10:31:08 PM): Hm. Sure, why not.
umbrafer (10:31:11 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 2 4 6 5 6
umbrafer (10:31:15 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 6
umbrafer (10:31:19 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:31:46 PM): bringing you to?
umbrafer (10:33:27 PM): 6*3=18, +27=45
Thematrian1 (10:34:33 PM): nifty. Appollonia has been reporting to you, Blake: #One person has revealed himself on a fire escape attached to the burning roof.#
MilesMk1 (10:35:51 PM): #Someone's on the fire escape of the burning building. Could the sniper.#
Thematrian1 (10:36:12 PM): #My attacker has not reappeared.#
Thematrian1 (10:36:34 PM): Todd, you've got an action coming.
Thematrian1 (10:36:45 PM): The guys walking toward you are in the midst of falling all over one another
Thematrian1 (10:36:53 PM): knocked down like dominoes by their comrade's careless mistake
circlmastr (10:37:03 PM): Todd, uh... goes back to not getting medical attention?
Thematrian1 (10:37:31 PM): Is that different from looking for Sigrun?
MilesMk1 (10:37:33 PM): ...or you could investigate the suspicious behavior.
MilesMk1 (10:38:29 PM): If only because, if this is the guy, he might decided to settle for killing one of our group or something.
Thematrian1 (10:40:48 PM): While Todd's deciding that, Alex and Blake get their second-pass actions.
circlmastr (10:41:15 PM): Well, if I haven't found Sigrun, I'll keep looking.
Thematrian1 (10:41:52 PM): Uh, no, you haven't. You're in the hallway outside the sickbay. The stairs are to your right, if you'd like to continue your search on the first floor.
Thematrian1 (10:43:25 PM): Meanwhile: Alex, more acceleration?
circlmastr (10:43:30 PM): Sure.
umbrafer (10:43:32 PM): Sure, why not.
umbrafer (10:43:37 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 1 1 1 1
umbrafer (10:43:40 PM): Oh man
Thematrian1 (10:43:43 PM): that'd be why
umbrafer (10:43:55 PM): +6, for 51.
Thematrian1 (10:45:00 PM): Todd: Ok. Behind you: "Garf, you stupid - " "I tripped! On something!" " - fragging hobo - " "Hey!"
umbrafer (10:45:18 PM): It sounds like someone is having an Accident.
Thematrian1 (10:45:33 PM): can't be, he's at the Tower.
Thematrian1 (10:45:36 PM): Anyway
MilesMk1 (10:46:18 PM): Sounds like we have an intruder problem.
Thematrian1 (10:47:24 PM): Ok. SC, you're creeping along the side of the building when somebody leans out from the other side and shoots you, with a now terribly familiar long-barrelled sniper rifle
Thematrian1 (10:47:35 PM): or, tries to; let's see how that goes
Dragcrell (10:48:10 PM): ^_- ok you know this might sound crazy but I simply DROP from the wall a few storys >_>
Thematrian1 (10:48:43 PM): I'll call that a dodge.
umbrafer (10:48:58 PM): Yeah, Dropping Prone is a free action
umbrafer (10:49:13 PM): I figure Dropping from Building is probably similar
Dragcrell (10:49:31 PM): :P
Thematrian1 (10:49:33 PM): Man, the SR3 rules, so many holes! Why isn't this spelled out?
umbrafer (10:49:46 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (10:50:18 PM): (Parodying myself ;-))
Thematrian1 (10:50:25 PM): anyhoo, let's see a dodge roll!
umbrafer (10:50:27 PM): Hehehe
Dragcrell (10:50:27 PM): uhhh probely becuse they never figured a playwe would pull off what i am with shit?
Dragcrell (10:50:54 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 3 3 5 2 3
Dragcrell (10:51:05 PM): ^_- mmm
Thematrian1 (10:51:25 PM): 2 successes is not enough. Karma?
umbrafer (10:51:52 PM): She HoGed. How would she have karma left?
Dragcrell (10:52:08 PM): >_> ummm bad karma = 20 points untill I even get a new karma pool point
Thematrian1 (10:52:40 PM): right, of course
Thematrian1 (10:52:49 PM): never mind. Resist 13D

Dragcrell (10:53:54 PM): yaaaaa this well be rather painfull.......
Thematrian1 (10:55:05 PM): You're shot through the heart, for the second time today. It is, indeed, rather painful.
Dragcrell (10:55:15 PM): >_<
Thematrian1 (10:57:03 PM): Roll regen, and it's Todd's turn.
circlmastr (10:57:11 PM): *search search*
Dragcrell (10:57:24 PM): (prays)
Dragcrell (10:57:27 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Dragcrell (10:57:38 PM): I need to do that more
MilesMk1 (10:58:07 PM): (...are you seriously just ingoring the fact that some people appear to be carrying a body and weird shit is happening?)
Thematrian1 (10:58:20 PM): (It seems so. Leave it, you're not there)
MilesMk1 (10:58:28 PM): (Ok, ok.)
circlmastr (10:58:32 PM): (Oh, that was around me?)
umbrafer (10:58:38 PM): (Yeah)
Thematrian1 (10:58:44 PM): (Yeah, it was)
circlmastr (10:58:45 PM): (I thought that was back around SC)
umbrafer (10:58:45 PM): (You're the representative at the Garage)
circlmastr (10:58:52 PM): (I'm so confused)
Thematrian1 (10:58:59 PM): (Oh. Much becomes clear. No, that's happening right in your very own hallway)
Dragcrell (10:59:07 PM): (noooo I'm the one setting roofs on fire and being shot at)
circlmastr (10:59:11 PM): "Hey, what the fuck?"
MilesMk1 (10:59:19 PM): (You left the medbay, which is upstairs, just like the roof hatch.)
MilesMk1 (10:59:24 PM): (IIRC.)
Thematrian1 (11:00:33 PM): The lead addresses you, falling backward: "Awk! Where's Kovacs?"
Thematrian1 (11:00:56 PM): Meanwhile, the fellow who fell over: "I told you, I tripped on something!"
circlmastr (11:01:27 PM): "Uh, fuck if I know."
Thematrian1 (11:01:45 PM): That's that for that Pass! Third Pass Ho!
umbrafer (11:02:12 PM): *Drv* How close are we to where Blake wants to be, or to where I can no longer avoid LOS?
MilesMk1 (11:02:39 PM): Blake, incidentally, wants to be close to where the sniper was.
umbrafer (11:03:08 PM): It's a city, presumably the two are within a dozen or two meters of one another.
Thematrian1 (11:03:11 PM): Not your turn yet. SC, you're already regenerating. As your eyes come into focus, you see the sniper concentrate, make a sharp gesture with one hand, and vanish from your physical eyes
MilesMk1 (11:03:12 PM): Or chooses to be. Don't know if "wants" is accurate, really.
umbrafer (11:03:22 PM): !!
umbrafer (11:03:28 PM): Damn, I'm too slow.
Thematrian1 (11:03:49 PM): Indeed. You were about 350 meters from him, and have travelled 58 meters. Still accelerating?
umbrafer (11:03:59 PM): Yep.
umbrafer (11:04:12 PM): Wait. Does he vanish from Essie's eyes?
Thematrian1 (11:04:30 PM): the physical ones. The astral ones still have him.
umbrafer (11:04:35 PM): Keeping in mind that Essie is permanently dual-natured and thus always Astrally Perceiving?
umbrafer (11:04:36 PM): Ok, good.
umbrafer (11:04:48 PM): Where was I. Accelerating, right.
Dragcrell (11:04:51 PM): :3 that and she no longer appers a such ;3
umbrafer (11:05:01 PM): umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 6 4 1 1 3 6 3 6 4 4 3
umbrafer (11:05:32 PM): +30 mpt, for 81.
MilesMk1 (11:06:51 PM): #SC, see anyone on the fire escape?#
Thematrian1 (11:06:54 PM): You've travelled 75m so far. At no point has your distance travelled been greater than your speed.
Thematrian1 (11:08:14 PM): Appollonia is reporting to Blake: #I have detected a large flying vehicle approaching our position. Profile is consistent with that of a UCAS air-to-ground bomber craft#
umbrafer (11:08:45 PM): Aw fuck.
Thematrian1 (11:09:24 PM): Todd and SC have actions!
circlmastr (11:09:36 PM): "What happened?"
Dragcrell (11:09:42 PM): >_> ummm i keep on regening? lol
Thematrian1 (11:10:32 PM): Heh, yep. Todd has another action! Meanwhile, Alex gets to act.
MilesMk1 (11:10:41 PM): #Everyone, we've got a UCAS airstrike incoming!#
circlmastr (11:11:11 PM): Todd's action was asking the above.
umbrafer (11:11:37 PM): OiD. Scanning the skies for a UCAS bomber. Also taking my free acceleration, making 84.
umbrafer (11:11:49 PM): (As an aside, what else would a bomber bomb but ground?)
umbrafer (11:12:09 PM): (I know they've got better accuracy in 205X, but air-to-air bombers…)
Thematrian1 (11:12:10 PM): (You actually use different craft for ships, I've heard)
umbrafer (11:12:16 PM): (Ahah)
umbrafer (11:12:29 PM): (Yeah, dropping torpedoes is probably more reliable)
umbrafer (11:12:39 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 4 6 2 3
umbrafer (11:12:42 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
umbrafer (11:12:45 PM): umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 1 6 2 6 2 6 2 6
Thematrian1 (11:12:46 PM): Todd: just that? Ok. Replies: "He just fell over like - " "No, something tripped me!"
umbrafer (11:12:53 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 5 1
umbrafer (11:12:56 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
umbrafer (11:13:08 PM): Probably not anywhere I can see it visually, but no sense in not trying.
circlmastr (11:13:22 PM): Todd decides these people are idiots and continues looking for Sigrun.
Thematrian1 (11:13:51 PM): Alex: that's a 5 after mods? You don't see it.
MilesMk1 (11:13:56 PM): #Appolonia, in case of attack take whatever evasive action you deem necessary to avoid being destroyed by the craft, but don't abandon the immediate area.#
Thematrian1 (11:14:06 PM): #Understood, Mr. Ventures#
umbrafer (11:14:19 PM): Hm? The Actives were an 8, 7, 4, 3, 2
Thematrian1 (11:14:57 PM): Ah, I see. What's that last set of five?
Thematrian1 (11:14:59 PM): er
Thematrian1 (11:15:03 PM): The other 5 are rerolls. Sigh.
umbrafer (11:15:06 PM): Rerolling sixes for… yeah
Thematrian1 (11:16:23 PM): This is not a stealth bomber, apparently. You find it, streaking out of the northeast, pretty much toward you guys.
umbrafer (11:16:48 PM): Aw shit. How far, roughly?
MilesMk1 (11:17:19 PM): #Todd, warn the garage that a bomber's headed this way.#
Thematrian1 (11:17:36 PM): Based on its current speed and direction, it will arrive in about thirty seconds. Vast stretches of combat time.
umbrafer (11:18:01 PM): Approximate altitude?
circlmastr (11:18:32 PM): "Fuck, a bomber's coming..."
Thematrian1 (11:18:41 PM): high
Thematrian1 (11:18:46 PM): "What?!"
Thematrian1 (11:18:56 PM): "For US?"
circlmastr (11:19:15 PM): "Fuck if I know, I just hear 'warn the garage that a bomber's heading this way'!"
Thematrian1 (11:19:29 PM): "That's it, I'm getting out of here."
circlmastr (11:19:41 PM): #Where the fuck is Appollonia?#
umbrafer (11:20:57 PM): If we're lucky, someone in the city will have an AA missile ready to go and use it like last time…
umbrafer (11:20:57 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (11:22:07 PM): Third pass!
umbrafer (11:24:16 PM): Ok. If this bomber looks like it's trying to bomb us, Alex is probably going to have to make a futile last stand trying to shoot down incoming bombs. I'll get Blake as close as I can first. Where am I?
Thematrian1 (11:24:41 PM): 220 meters away from the action, give or take
MilesMk1 (11:25:21 PM): What's the utiliy of ATGM missiles against aircraft?
umbrafer (11:25:47 PM): About the same as everything else. The question is, is it within 3km
circlmastr (11:25:48 PM): ATGM are AV, IIRC
MilesMk1 (11:25:59 PM): Mhmm.
MilesMk1 (11:26:10 PM): Well, we do have a Great Dragon, don't we?
Thematrian1 (11:26:20 PM): You do.
Thematrian1 (11:26:38 PM): (If you shoot down this bomber, I probably won't ever stop laughing)
MilesMk1 (11:27:01 PM): (If I shoot down this bomber, won't they send more people after us?)
Thematrian1 (11:27:21 PM): (Depends who sent it and why. If it's the UCAS...yeah, they get shirty about things like that.)
Thematrian1 (11:28:05 PM): Alex, roll Accelleration or do whatever, and then it's on to the next Turn!
MilesMk1 (11:28:08 PM): #Want me to take the Great Dragon and take a shot at it, if we're all out of options?#
Thematrian1 (11:28:12 PM): Oh, and the tanker's engine just caught fire.
umbrafer (11:28:37 PM): What is the… aw crap. Where's it taking fire from?
umbrafer (11:28:45 PM): Not that I'd be in position to see, I guess.
Thematrian1 (11:28:49 PM): The burning-roofed building.
Thematrian1 (11:28:53 PM): SC is
umbrafer (11:28:58 PM): Oh. Oh crap.
umbrafer (11:29:14 PM): Hm. What do I have to do to get a better estimate on altitude?
MilesMk1 (11:29:54 PM): *loads the launcher and slings it over his shoulder, just in case*
Thematrian1 (11:32:25 PM): You'd say two, two and a half kilometers, cruising in at about a thousand kilometers per hour.
umbrafer (11:32:41 PM): Heh.
Thematrian1 (11:33:04 PM): oh, and it's still climbing
umbrafer (11:33:11 PM): But within ATGM range. 30 seconds, you say?
umbrafer (11:33:12 PM): …Oh.
umbrafer (11:33:13 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (11:33:28 PM): Alex, you have an action this pass.
umbrafer (11:33:49 PM): Yeah, I'm just trying to establish what I know.
umbrafer (11:33:55 PM): Do I know anything about the behaviour of this sort of vehicle when making a bombing run?
Thematrian1 (11:34:30 PM): Depends. If it's planning to nuke the city then it'll climb steadily to 15kilometers or so, drop its bomb, and leave.
umbrafer (11:34:39 PM): Anyway, for now I'll keep accelerating towards the building. I guess I have… oh.
umbrafer (11:35:00 PM): That would be unfortunate. I guess I'll Accelerate for now.
Thematrian1 (11:35:04 PM): If the devastation needs to be more precise...well, max altitude is a function of the necessary precision
umbrafer (11:35:09 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 4 5 4 4
umbrafer (11:35:12 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
umbrafer (11:35:26 PM): 96.
Thematrian1 (11:36:01 PM): 196 meters out. That's the Turn. Nine left until the bomber arrives.
umbrafer (11:36:47 PM): Tempted to try to spook it with a sensor lock, but that could result in bad things.
Thematrian1 (11:37:03 PM): That's just barely possible, yeah.
umbrafer (11:37:49 PM): How far is it from the Garage to the nearest approximate edge of the city?
Thematrian1 (11:37:53 PM): Todd Sigrun-hunting, SC just finished regenerating from her second deadly wound of the day, Appollonia is taking off, and Blake and Alex are plunging headlong toward the center of the chaos.
Thematrian1 (11:38:09 PM): of the city, or of the barricaded section?
umbrafer (11:38:17 PM): Barricaded section
Dragcrell (11:38:38 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 4 2 1
Dragcrell (11:39:02 PM): 17
Thematrian1 (11:39:14 PM): You don't know for sure, but many kilometers. At least 15, depending on where they set their choke points.
umbrafer (11:39:33 PM): 15 isn't very many. (For reference, I'm thinking about sensor range)
umbrafer (11:39:45 PM): (Man, someone needs to cast Turn to Goo on the sniper. Or maybe Hellblast)
Thematrian1 (11:39:47 PM): (Ah. Well then)
Thematrian1 (11:41:15 PM): Ok. Here's where we break. Next session: the ambush wraps up, probably, and we get to have fun with the UCAS air force!
Dragcrell (11:41:31 PM): oh joy!
MilesMk1 (11:41:58 PM): Yay... Ok guys, see you Thursday.
MilesMk1 (11:42:02 PM): Have a good 4th.
Thematrian1 (11:42:04 PM): you too
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

umbrafer (11:42:36 PM): Indeed. Take care, all!
