umbrafer (8:04:48 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 5 4 3
umbrafer (8:04:50 PM): :(
MilesMk1 (8:04:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 3
MilesMk1 (8:05:01 PM): 19
umbrafer (8:05:07 PM): 24
Thematrian1 (8:05:59 PM): nifty. The bugs advance. The first wave of fireflies is now over the barricade
Thematrian1 (8:06:08 PM): they're not attacking the moving buses
umbrafer (8:06:25 PM): Wait, no, 25
umbrafer (8:06:33 PM): I keep forgetting my Reaction is higher now
MilesMk1 (8:07:22 PM): Ah, jeez. We're forever tainted as Bug collaborators. I guess. I'm not sure how that's going to work out since officially, there are no Bugs in Chicago. HMHVV collaborators? Plague bearers?
umbrafer (8:08:01 PM): I think we were going to be on that list the minute we left the city anyway.
MilesMk1 (8:08:24 PM): If we live through this, Alex should send a bunch of the Bug footage she shot to every news station, just to make sure. :)
umbrafer (8:09:39 PM): Maybe if we start running our own pirate trid station. I'm not sure I want to be any more connected to all this than I have to be.
circlmastr (8:10:04 PM): Didn't SF already have a media contact that Shojo talked to?
circlmastr (8:10:09 PM): Just feed it through that channel
Thematrian1 (8:10:24 PM): There's a bunch more gunfire over to the west, plus the distinctive sound of detonating grenades
Thematrian1 (8:10:31 PM): Alex, Pass One.
umbrafer (8:10:46 PM): Let's see…
MilesMk1 (8:10:58 PM): The West... would that be nerve gas-ward?
Thematrian1 (8:11:02 PM): it would
umbrafer (8:11:36 PM): Last I heard, ~1 second ago, there was a strafing run incoming in ten seconds?
Thematrian1 (8:11:52 PM): yeah
umbrafer (8:12:37 PM): Then unless there is some geographical feature that would provide cover or box me in, I floor it north and a little east.
Thematrian1 (8:13:11 PM): The geography around here is mostly man-made, and 2-3 stories high
umbrafer (8:13:19 PM): My last action last time we met was to shout a warning over the comm, so that's done.
umbrafer (8:14:12 PM): That's cover of some sort. Covering ground is more important, but if I can do so without inconveniencing that goal, I'll try to stay near some of the building clusters.
umbrafer (8:14:23 PM): umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 4 4 3 5 6 1 3 4 6 5 6 3
umbrafer (8:14:28 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 1 6
umbrafer (8:14:31 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (8:14:42 PM): yes, easily; the streets are uncluttered by inside-Chicago standards
umbrafer (8:14:58 PM): Provided we still count as being on-road, that's 11.
Thematrian1 (8:15:44 PM): yep
umbrafer (8:17:10 PM): Other than that, I hold an Observe in Detail on anything that moves.
Thematrian1 (8:17:13 PM): more gunfire, more explosions. Alex, roll passives. Blake, you have an action
umbrafer (8:17:45 PM): umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 4 1 1 5 5 5 4 6
umbrafer (8:17:49 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
umbrafer (8:17:52 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
umbrafer (8:18:00 PM): 15, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2
Thematrian1 (8:18:05 PM): there's a rumbling to your north and east, as of several engines
Thematrian1 (8:18:12 PM): the buses, meanwhile, are following you as best they can
Thematrian1 (8:20:28 PM): Meanwhile: Blake? Also, Todd, if you have anything you wish to do, now's the time.
circlmastr (8:20:45 PM): Todd has razor out and head down, ne?
MilesMk1 (8:20:56 PM): Excuse me.
MilesMk1 (8:21:38 PM): I keep an eye out for hostile aircraft. If the drones make another appearance, I shoot. If the strike aircraft do, I leave them alone unless Appolonia indicates they're targeting us.
MilesMk1 (8:21:55 PM): (I realize that's assuming I could even do anything to them)
Thematrian1 (8:22:19 PM): you can't see the strikers yet. The enemy drones are all down, but there are bugs flying over the barricades
MilesMk1 (8:23:08 PM): Unless they're attacking the van, that's just a waste of ammo. I stay vigilant and tell Appolonia to update me of any new developments.
Thematrian1 (8:23:46 PM): #Very good, Mr. Ventures#
Thematrian1 (8:24:41 PM): A few of the bugs vanish in a spectacular midair fireball.
circlmastr (8:24:43 PM): (Appolonia is modeled after a Bond girl, apparently)
Thematrian1 (8:24:48 PM): (?)
Thematrian1 (8:25:12 PM): The magician is not in evidence. The remaining fireflies spread out. There's an explosion from the other side of the barricade. Alex, you're up.
circlmastr (8:25:28 PM): (*shrug* I'm imagining a British tone to that last statement for no reason, and it immediately made me think of a girl in a Bond film.)
Thematrian1 (8:26:14 PM): (Ah. I've never seen a Bond movie, so I was curious about the parallels)
circlmastr (8:26:49 PM): (You're not missing anything spectacular)
umbrafer (8:27:22 PM): (Yes, you are. You're missing Casino Royale, and I don't mean the one they just released.)
umbrafer (8:27:57 PM): Hm.
umbrafer (8:28:15 PM): Explosions, busses following me, engines from the NE…
MilesMk1 (8:28:18 PM): (The one they just released was a great movie. It didn't have that much in common with earlier Bond movies, but that's not really a bad thing.)
umbrafer (8:29:46 PM): (It chose the wrong name, then. Nothing can hope to stand against the true Casino Royale.) I'll take my free acceleration to let the busses catch up, aligning my course a bit more due N, and OiD at the engine noises.
umbrafer (8:29:53 PM): umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 3 3 6 2 2 5 5 3
umbrafer (8:29:55 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
umbrafer (8:29:59 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
umbrafer (8:30:03 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 6 1 5 3
umbrafer (8:30:05 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (8:30:28 PM): 2-3 vehicles of approximately your size, or engine power at any rate
umbrafer (8:30:44 PM): Hm.
umbrafer (8:31:38 PM): We need to figure out how to get the bugs and the guards fighting each other as quickly as possible so we can scram.
Thematrian1 (8:32:16 PM): Blake, SC, Todd: actions?
Vernjonal has left the chat room.

Dragcrell (8:32:37 PM): keep holding
Thematrian1 (8:33:20 PM): yep. Nobody's invaded the van for some time now.
circlmastr (8:33:38 PM): Keep head down
umbrafer (8:33:51 PM): Not too far down, please, you might create a gap.
MilesMk1 (8:33:51 PM): I ask Alex for an update, check on the kids, and hold.
Thematrian1 (8:34:55 PM): The kids are still strapped in, though Alice has half-crawled out of her restraints, trying to see more clearly
Thematrian1 (8:36:37 PM): There's another explosion from the far side of the barricades. Sigrun: #Alex! The bugs have Great Dragons too!#
Thematrian1 (8:37:02 PM): Alex, third pass. Bombers are due in 7 seconds, give or take
umbrafer (8:37:29 PM): Oh hell. How're the busses doing?
Thematrian1 (8:37:59 PM): Five through so far, the sixth is rumbling along now. The last two aren't coming, since they were both disabled earlier.
umbrafer (8:38:12 PM): Hm.
umbrafer (8:41:14 PM): Well, not much I can do to speed them along. Free acceleration again, this time watching the skies.
MilesMk1 (8:41:21 PM): "Alice, I'm hanging out of a helicopter door with drones shooting at me. I can't constantly have to worry whether you're strapped in. If this keeps up, I'll put Duncan in charge of keeping an eye on you."
umbrafer (8:41:39 PM): #How many?#
Thematrian1 (8:41:44 PM): She sits, looking chagrined.
Thematrian1 (8:41:48 PM): #One so far.#
MilesMk1 (8:42:37 PM): Chagrined by threat of Duncan, or my attempt at a guilt-trip? Ah, well, so long as it works...
MilesMk1 (8:43:11 PM): #Alex, how're we doing?#
umbrafer (8:43:24 PM): #Where?#
Thematrian1 (8:43:37 PM): Hard to say
umbrafer (8:43:51 PM): #Bug's're keeping us good company here.#
MilesMk1 (8:44:22 PM): #Shit. You know I'd turn this thing around if we didn't have three kids on board.#
umbrafer (8:45:08 PM): #It's ok, long as the fighter doesn't kill us.#
MilesMk1 (8:45:48 PM): #Yeah, I'm hoping they don't notice us either.#
Thematrian1 (8:46:20 PM): New initiatives. The gunfire to the west seems to have died down
MilesMk1 (8:46:28 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 5
umbrafer (8:46:30 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 6 3 4
MilesMk1 (8:46:33 PM): 24
umbrafer (8:46:36 PM): 27
Dragcrell (8:47:36 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 5 5 5
Dragcrell (8:47:52 PM): 22
Thematrian1 (8:48:40 PM): Alex, you have the first action of the new Turn
umbrafer (8:48:56 PM): Hm. Dangerous Danger.
umbrafer (8:50:03 PM): Still no sign of horrible painful death from above?
Thematrian1 (8:50:52 PM): nope
Thematrian1 (8:50:56 PM): still 6ish seconds out
umbrafer (8:51:57 PM): Hm. What sort of progress are the busses making?
Thematrian1 (8:52:34 PM): The sixth is coming down the far side of the hole in the barricade now
umbrafer (8:53:03 PM): Awesome, sorta. Ok, I keep on driving and OiD the skies.
umbrafer (8:53:06 PM): umbrafer rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 2 4 3 3 3 2 5 2
umbrafer (8:53:10 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 4 1
Thematrian1 (8:53:49 PM): no bombers. You wouldn't expect to see them yet, anyway; you might well see their launches before you see them
umbrafer (8:54:22 PM): Isn't it always the way?
umbrafer (8:55:44 PM): Well, for now I'm just taking my free acceleration. I'm probably going to regret it when the bombs start going off…
Thematrian1 (8:56:15 PM): Ok. What's your total speed at this point?
circlmastr (8:56:33 PM): Once Alex hits 88 mph, she can cross the border before it's erected.
umbrafer (8:57:04 PM): 42 m/t by my count.
Thematrian1 (8:57:49 PM): check. Blake, Todd, SC?
MilesMk1 (8:58:30 PM): I make sure the Great Dragon is handy, and keep on scanning.
Thematrian1 (8:59:06 PM): hm. Perception.
circlmastr (8:59:10 PM): Todd continues holding
Thematrian1 (8:59:14 PM): Meanwhile, Todd and SC...yeah
Dragcrell (8:59:23 PM): holding yet
Thematrian1 (8:59:35 PM): For the record, you two, the bugs tried to get into the van last session, but couldn't for some reason.
MilesMk1 (8:59:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 2 5 4
umbrafer (9:00:51 PM): Mmm, bugspray.
Thematrian1 (9:00:59 PM): Blake: nothing visible, but you do hear the distinctive whine of vector-thrust aircraft
circlmastr (9:01:12 PM): I had no idea that happened
circlmastr (9:01:34 PM): Todd still keeps his head down but also keeps a wary eye out.
Thematrian1 (9:02:58 PM): Ok. The fireflies are swarming back over the barricade, perhaps in response to a missile launch from out the back of the sixth bus.
Thematrian1 (9:03:10 PM): ...which is even now emerging from the White Phosphorous cloud
Thematrian1 (9:03:18 PM): Sigrun: #Go! Go!#
Thematrian1 (9:03:25 PM): Alex, second pass
Thematrian1 (9:03:38 PM): Your sensors are picking up heat sources high in the sky and far north.
umbrafer (9:03:45 PM): Aw man.
umbrafer (9:04:24 PM): I, in the immortal words of Sigrun Utskjoer, will go! Go!
umbrafer (9:04:32 PM): Accelerate.
umbrafer (9:04:36 PM): umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 1 3 2 5 3 3 3
Thematrian1 (9:04:55 PM): still on-road
MilesMk1 (9:04:59 PM): Jon, what is Alex doing with those vector thrust drones we liberated from the Tower?
circlmastr (9:05:14 PM): (brb)
umbrafer (9:05:32 PM): That's seven then. One of them's sitting in the van right now, the other one got smashed into the barricade further down along with some surplus Russian nerve gas.
circlmastr has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:06:21 PM): The drones that attacked last session, that you shot down a few of, were vector-thrust
umbrafer (9:07:41 PM): Mmm, vector thrust.
Thematrian1 (9:09:00 PM): Alex, third pass
umbrafer (9:10:22 PM): Status of the flies and skyscapes as can be identified from where the van's current location?
Thematrian1 (9:11:17 PM): yep, definitely heat sources up there. Four of them. Fireflies are back over the barricade, and mostly too close to the earth to see
umbrafer (9:12:48 PM): Hm. Ok, well, those heat sources make me nervous but I'm going to keep going on.
Thematrian1 (9:13:23 PM): yep. Blake, SC?
Dragcrell (9:13:38 PM): holding
MilesMk1 (9:13:44 PM): Observe in detail, scanning for threats.
MilesMk1 (9:13:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 6 1 1 3
MilesMk1 (9:13:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (9:14:39 PM): What do you have in the way of hearing amp?
MilesMk1 (9:14:51 PM): Nothing, I think.
umbrafer (9:14:58 PM): Wow, really?
Thematrian1 (9:15:05 PM): ok. still vector-y, but you can't tell where from
circlmastr has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (9:15:38 PM): Really. Why? Glitch is the one with heavy-duty ear cyber.
circlmastr (9:15:59 PM): I hate iChat's pathetic chatroom handling.
MilesMk1 (9:16:14 PM): For Blake, it'd be nice to have but there's only so much essence and money.
MilesMk1 (9:16:43 PM): He does have 6 vision enhancements...
Thematrian1 (9:19:21 PM): That's the third Pass. New Turn! 3 seconds to blastage
circlmastr (9:19:34 PM): circlmastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 3
circlmastr (9:19:41 PM): 22! 3 passes!
umbrafer (9:19:43 PM): Not so happy with blastage.
umbrafer (9:19:47 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 2 1 1
umbrafer (9:19:53 PM): Aw crap.
Dragcrell (9:20:06 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 2 6 3
Dragcrell (9:20:21 PM): 18
umbrafer (9:20:35 PM): Not so happy with getting a 19 on initiative, either.
MilesMk1 (9:20:40 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 4 6
MilesMk1 (9:20:43 PM): 26
Thematrian1 (9:22:05 PM): Blake: two more vector-thrust drones appear over a roof to your four-o-clock. They're firing machine guns, but Appolonia climbs swiftly and evades them.
Thematrian1 (9:22:08 PM): You now have an action.
MilesMk1 (9:23:04 PM): I fire single shots, switching to the second target if one drops.
MilesMk1 (9:23:13 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 1 1 4 6 1 4
MilesMk1 (9:23:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
MilesMk1 (9:23:21 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 6 3 3 2 5 4
MilesMk1 (9:23:24 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
Thematrian1 (9:24:18 PM): It dodges your first shot; your second shot wings it. It plummets, corrects, and begins to climb.
Thematrian1 (9:26:42 PM): Todd is next; the gunfire to the west has started up again. Meanwhile, a squat, wide UAV has rounded the corner and is hurtling toward the van
umbrafer (9:27:28 PM): Oh dear.
MilesMk1 (9:27:54 PM): UAV?
circlmastr (9:27:57 PM): Todd, uh, holds
MilesMk1 (9:28:01 PM): ...armored vehicle?
Thematrian1 (9:28:18 PM): Urban Assault Vehicle
MilesMk1 (9:28:27 PM): Ah.
MilesMk1 (9:28:33 PM): Lovely.
Thematrian1 (9:28:48 PM): Armored, often armed, probably carries some troops. Can ram like a bastard if it's rigger-controlled
Thematrian1 (9:29:05 PM): from Blake's vantage, he can see a second one about to round the corner
MilesMk1 (9:29:59 PM): *notifies Alex of that*
umbrafer (9:30:57 PM): Now I know, and now we get to see if knowing is half the battle.
Thematrian1 (9:31:21 PM): I know I'm curious. And you even have an action now!
MilesMk1 (9:31:39 PM): I don't know if I can tell, but does it look like it's more lightly armored than that mini-tank I had so much trouble with?
umbrafer (9:31:40 PM): Distance?
Thematrian1 (9:32:26 PM): Perception, Blake.
MilesMk1 (9:32:31 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 5 6 6
Thematrian1 (9:32:34 PM): Alex: distance is 60 meters, ish
MilesMk1 (9:32:35 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 2 6 1 5 2
MilesMk1 (9:32:38 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (9:32:49 PM): It has six points of vehicle armor.
MilesMk1 (9:33:04 PM): Aha. It'll suffer greatly. Maybe.
umbrafer (9:33:46 PM): That's some sixes there.
MilesMk1 (9:34:23 PM): Yeah, I bet I'll wish I rolled like that on an attack or body roll before this is done...
Thematrian1 (9:35:08 PM): Heh heh heh. Alex, what are you doing?
umbrafer (9:35:14 PM): Hm.
umbrafer (9:35:14 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 2-sided die: 2
umbrafer (9:37:04 PM): Hm. Ok.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

circlmastr (9:37:50 PM): Hmm
MilesMk1 (9:38:06 PM): He'll be back.
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:39:13 PM): hmph
umbrafer (9:39:21 PM): Victory?
Thematrian1 (9:39:22 PM): my apologies; last I saw, Jon was flipping a coin
umbrafer (9:39:55 PM): I was indeed flipping a coin.
umbrafer (9:40:05 PM): It came up twos.
umbrafer (9:40:20 PM): I was also reviewing the ramming rules.
umbrafer (9:41:21 PM): Hiding Test!
circlmastr (9:41:25 PM): That made me remember The Last Starfighter
umbrafer (9:42:12 PM): Unfortunately, the terrain that wasn't giving me horrible modifiers on everything else gives me some bad ones here.
Thematrian1 (9:42:47 PM): Yeah. I take it you're hiding from the aircraft? Hiding from the UAV is almost certainly a lost cause.
umbrafer (9:43:21 PM): Aww. I could hope. But yeah, I'd like to hide from the aircraft while not getting in ramming range of the UAV.
umbrafer (9:43:56 PM): umbrafer rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 5 4 2 5 3 4 2 2 3
umbrafer (9:44:00 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (9:44:21 PM): You're surrounded by houses, lawns, driveways, things of that ilk. Pretty ramshackle, and abandoned for days, by the look of them.
umbrafer (9:44:54 PM): I don't blame them. You never know when something from inside the city could come busting out.
umbrafer (9:46:06 PM): Anyway, that looks like ten successes unless I've got some nastier modifiers against me that I haven't accounted for
Thematrian1 (9:46:24 PM): It looks good. How are you hiding?
umbrafer (9:48:13 PM): Mostly trying to obstruct line of sight between me and the probable aircraft location.
umbrafer (9:48:48 PM): (I will also warn you that I'm starting to experience involuntary microsleeps, so I'm probably not good for much longer)
Thematrian1 (9:49:07 PM): Meanwhile, Blake, you're being fired upon. You personally this time, not Appolonia.
Thematrian1 (9:50:00 PM): Appolonia dodges one of the bursts, you have cover against the other one, so you're looking at only one success.
MilesMk1 (9:50:19 PM): Dodge! Dodge!
MilesMk1 (9:50:25 PM): Fired at by the drones?
MilesMk1 (9:50:39 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 6 2 2
MilesMk1 (9:50:46 PM): I think that does it?
Thematrian1 (9:52:05 PM): Yep. The six suffices
Thematrian1 (9:52:15 PM): Jon: let me know when you're ready to conk out.
Thematrian1 (9:52:30 PM): Blake, you now have another action
MilesMk1 (9:54:04 PM): I fire at the drones. Clearly, this calls for some more firepower... 3-round bursts of AV rounds, this time.
MilesMk1 (9:54:14 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 3 2 6 6
MilesMk1 (9:54:19 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 4
MilesMk1 (9:54:22 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 5 4 2 4 2 5
umbrafer (9:54:47 PM): You push that dodge TN up by one.
Thematrian1 (9:54:57 PM): The one you winged goes down in flames. The other dodges again, darting behind an old-style chimney
Thematrian1 (9:55:22 PM): er
Thematrian1 (9:55:23 PM): dodges
Thematrian1 (9:55:29 PM): not again
MilesMk1 (9:56:15 PM): Damn, and I really wanted to light up that UAV.
umbrafer (9:57:30 PM): (We need an assault cannon.)
Thematrian1 (9:57:37 PM): Yeah, speaking of that, it's deccelerating. A turrent emerges from the roof
Thematrian1 (9:57:44 PM): (You're in luck)
Thematrian1 (9:59:41 PM): Alex, you may take your second action.
umbrafer (10:01:09 PM): Hm. S I'm in Hiding, we've got how many seconds until horrible flaming death from above? And there's a turret that may or may not contain a rotary autocannon.
Thematrian1 (10:01:17 PM): 2
Thematrian1 (10:01:35 PM): And it doesn't
umbrafer (10:01:40 PM): Where did that S come from?
Thematrian1 (10:01:48 PM): S is for Sleep
umbrafer (10:01:54 PM): Probably.
Thematrian1 (10:03:24 PM): While that's going on, Blake has a third action. Before you take it, you should know a few things: 1) The second UAV has also popped a turret, and is aiming at you, 2) a third UAV has rumbled into view, and 3) armored troops are
Thematrian1 (10:03:37 PM): rolling out of the side doors of the first one.
umbrafer (10:03:54 PM): Come to that, there was mention of Blake and UAVs in the same general area. How nearby is he, if I know, and do I have an idea of where the vector-thrust drones he's tussling with are?
MilesMk1 (10:04:00 PM): Ah, man.
MilesMk1 (10:04:33 PM): #Appolonia, get us out of the line of fire.#
Thematrian1 (10:04:38 PM): You do; you can see them overhead. Blake's about a street away, fifty meters up
MilesMk1 (10:04:50 PM): I shoot a six-round burst at the UAV aiming at me.
Thematrian1 (10:04:51 PM): Or, he was until he gave that order.
Thematrian1 (10:04:56 PM): Go for it
MilesMk1 (10:05:01 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 3 4 2 3 1 5 3 3 1
MilesMk1 (10:05:04 PM): Shit.
MilesMk1 (10:05:06 PM): Karma.
Thematrian1 (10:05:27 PM): k. You're moving, they're moving, range...I make it 5 after Smartlink. reroll all 10
MilesMk1 (10:05:36 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 2 4 4 6 1 6 5 6 6 3
MilesMk1 (10:05:49 PM): Hah! Take that, bastard.
MilesMk1 (10:05:55 PM): 14D, AV rounds.
umbrafer (10:06:04 PM): when you say "them", you mean I can see vector-thrust drones? Or just the helicopter crowd?
Thematrian1 (10:06:23 PM): 'The V-Ts. The helicopter too
MilesMk1 (10:06:54 PM): #Alex, three UAVs, troops unloading.#
MilesMk1 (10:07:53 PM): It'd be really nice if there was an explosion and I could ammend my estimate of 3 downwards. Very dramatic.
Thematrian1 (10:08:09 PM): Blake: your target skews to one side, trying to dodge. Then it flips on its side, skids, and rams through someone's garage door.
Thematrian1 (10:08:18 PM): Also, it's on fire.
Thematrian1 (10:08:20 PM): You hit it, all right.
umbrafer (10:08:26 PM): Mmm, fire.
Thematrian1 (10:08:28 PM): The doors are opening, though.
MilesMk1 (10:08:52 PM): #Make that two UAVs.#
umbrafer (10:09:09 PM): Well, then, unless my glance suggests that the vec-thrust drones are heavily armored, I'm going to give them the old three-three-four, or three-three, or six, depending on how many I can see.
Thematrian1 (10:09:29 PM): There's only one still up, that you can see
umbrafer (10:10:18 PM): Then a six-round burst at it.
umbrafer (10:10:35 PM): umbrafer rolled 14 6-sided dice: 4 6 3 1 2 2 6 3 3 1 6 6 5 1
umbrafer (10:10:41 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 6 5 2
umbrafer (10:10:44 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:10:50 PM): hm. I count 5?
MilesMk1 (10:11:35 PM): You know, I'm still mostly interested in not dying, but I'm glad that at least we're ensuring someone else is having The Worst Day of Their Life, for a change.
umbrafer (10:11:55 PM): Smartlink and wound mods balance, if I have a net +1 from somewhere else I have 5.
Thematrian1 (10:12:14 PM): Target "Running"
umbrafer (10:12:50 PM): Moving away, +1
Thematrian1 (10:13:11 PM): Right, it's called something else in this case. Ah, Shadowrun.
umbrafer (10:13:12 PM): So yeah, that's 5
Thematrian1 (10:13:50 PM): Anyway, it doesn't dodge, and crashes into someone's roof.
umbrafer (10:13:58 PM): Poor someone.
MilesMk1 (10:14:33 PM): I hope we're dumpshocking the hell out of some riggers. No offense to Alex.
Thematrian1 (10:14:36 PM): Also, you can hear this high whining noise, against a duller roar
MilesMk1 (10:14:58 PM): Oh, good, maybe the exploding bombs will let us escape in the confusion...
Thematrian1 (10:14:59 PM): And see contrails from the north, coming right in. Initiative for the next Turn.
MilesMk1 (10:15:09 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 6
MilesMk1 (10:15:13 PM): 25
umbrafer (10:15:23 PM): Does ceasing biological function count as escape?
umbrafer (10:15:26 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 3 4 5
umbrafer (10:15:31 PM): Oh, much better.
Dragcrell (10:15:33 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 6 1 1
Dragcrell (10:15:43 PM): >_< 13
MilesMk1 (10:15:55 PM): Depends on your religious or philosophical background, I guess.
umbrafer (10:16:08 PM): 30
umbrafer (10:16:11 PM): One shy x.x
circlmastr (10:16:56 PM): circlmastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 5
circlmastr (10:16:59 PM): 17
Thematrian1 (10:19:11 PM): Appolonia dives, leveling off a bare ten feet above the ground. The kids are screaming, Little Ork Girl is screaming, and you think Jeremy might have yelped a bit. The good news is, Blake and friends have full cover.
Thematrian1 (10:19:21 PM): It's Alex's turn, Pass 1. You
Thematrian1 (10:19:38 PM): ve darted out of the street, behind a friendly house, into someone's lawn
Thematrian1 (10:19:56 PM): If you're lucky, the trees and swingset will cover you
umbrafer (10:21:11 PM): (I'd feel a lot better about getting blasted into smithereens if we were at least being properly nuked from orbit.) Mmm, someone's lawn. Any lawn flamingos? I think I'll just focus on traversing ground for right now.
umbrafer (10:21:22 PM): Not that the trees/swingset idea doesn't sounds pretty nice.
MilesMk1 (10:21:26 PM): *starts humming "High Speed Dirt"*
Thematrian1 (10:22:12 PM): No. There's a plastic picket fence around the perimeter of the half-acre, though. Or, there was; you're moving pretty fast, and are already into someone else's lawn
MilesMk1 (10:22:33 PM): *holds back on singing the lyrics on account of the kids*
Thematrian1 (10:22:41 PM): And, oh, hey, there's a swimming pool. Roll me some driving.
MilesMk1 (10:22:56 PM): I'm suddenly reminded of Snow Crash.
MilesMk1 (10:23:01 PM): I hope not.
circlmastr (10:23:09 PM): I've never read Snow Crash.
Thematrian1 (10:23:13 PM): Well, this swimming pool is full.
Thematrian1 (10:23:20 PM): Of water, not blood or corpses or anything.
umbrafer (10:24:18 PM): umbrafer rolled 12 6-sided dice: 2 5 6 6 5 2 5 4 1 1 4 6
umbrafer (10:24:24 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 5
Thematrian1 (10:24:57 PM): yeah, that's fine. You weave around it and bust through another fence. Blake, you have an action, which you could use to reach out and touch the ground, if you time it right.
Dragcrell (10:25:14 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (10:25:34 PM): Duncan has his eyes closed.
Thematrian1 (10:26:47 PM): Meanwhile, Todd and SC may act, if they wish.
MilesMk1 (10:26:58 PM): If there are no targets, I yell out "It's going to be allright" and reload my AK.
circlmastr (10:27:25 PM): Todd has nothing to act against.
Thematrian1 (10:28:09 PM): KABOOM!
Thematrian1 (10:28:21 PM): Blake, roll Reaction.
umbrafer (10:28:23 PM): Mmm, kaboom.
MilesMk1 (10:28:29 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 6 3 3 5 4 4 3
Thematrian1 (10:28:33 PM): Also, who doesn't have flare comp?
MilesMk1 (10:28:37 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (10:28:43 PM): I hope one 10's enough...
circlmastr (10:29:10 PM): Todd doesn't.
Thematrian1 (10:29:33 PM): Hm. You said you were keeping your head down, you're ok.
umbrafer (10:29:35 PM): Alex doesn't as such, but the vehicle she's currently jumped into does.
Thematrian1 (10:30:20 PM): Blake: the TN was 8. It was to avoid falling out when Appolonia flips in mid-air thanks to the shockwave from the explosion that just obliterated the barricade
MilesMk1 (10:30:37 PM): Those poor bastards in the buses...
MilesMk1 (10:32:29 PM): #Argh... Alex, you alive?#
Thematrian1 (10:32:45 PM): The van is shielded by all those houses and white picket fences; no roll is required.
Thematrian1 (10:33:18 PM): Appolonia does manage to right herself, though the roar of her rotors has taken on an alarming asymmetric choppiness
umbrafer (10:33:56 PM): #I'm here.#
MilesMk1 (10:33:59 PM): Aw, shit.
MilesMk1 (10:34:22 PM): #Appolonia, damage report?#
Thematrian1 (10:35:11 PM): #Some loss of rotor effectiveness. Recommend servicing ahead of usual schedule.#
Thematrian1 (10:35:33 PM): Meanwhile, the buses that were following the van are now facing off with the UAV. Or so you assume; there are houses in the way now.
umbrafer (10:36:01 PM): I call around and see who, if anyone, else I can raise.
MilesMk1 (10:36:15 PM): #Proceed with the escape plan.# *looks for anyone chasing us*
Thematrian1 (10:36:18 PM): Alex, you burst through another fence, fake plastic chain link this time, and emerge onto a street. The crashed and burned UAV is to your left, with dazed-looking armored soldiers pulling themselves out.
umbrafer (10:36:27 PM): !
umbrafer (10:36:28 PM): !!!
umbrafer (10:36:30 PM): !!!!!
MilesMk1 (10:36:41 PM): *checks to see the kids didn't shake loose*
Thematrian1 (10:36:46 PM): The other two UAVs are not in evidence; they must have turned the corner already.
umbrafer (10:36:55 PM): If a bumper could smile, I think mine would.
Thematrian1 (10:36:58 PM): They haven't; Alice took your warning seriously.
Thematrian1 (10:37:58 PM): Overhead, you hear sonic booms and see jet contrails
circlmastr (10:39:29 PM): I think Alex is about to make some chunky salsa.
Thematrian1 (10:39:51 PM): By an amazing coincidence, she has an action now.
circlmastr (10:39:58 PM): Amazing!
Thematrian1 (10:40:07 PM): her second of the Turn
umbrafer (10:41:15 PM): How close am I to the emerging group?
Thematrian1 (10:41:45 PM): 14 meters
umbrafer (10:42:48 PM): And what exactly would happen if I performed a ramming test in this sort of clustered situation?
Thematrian1 (10:44:02 PM): huh. Well, you can hit either one of the two on the ground, along with the overturned UAV itself. The guy standing on it and the guy standing in it would then suffer damage as though their vehicle had crashed. Again.
umbrafer (10:45:03 PM): :D
Thematrian1 (10:45:17 PM): Yeah, probably
Thematrian1 (10:45:25 PM): oh, you were grinning
umbrafer (10:47:11 PM): Ok, sounds like a good time. Let me see…
MilesMk1 (10:47:17 PM): This opportunity provided to you courtesy of Blake.
umbrafer (10:47:26 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 2 1 5 5
umbrafer (10:47:32 PM): It's much appreciated.
Thematrian1 (10:48:11 PM): was that your ramming test?
umbrafer (10:48:20 PM): It was indeed.
Thematrian1 (10:48:51 PM): it only had six dice, so I was confused
circlmastr (10:49:22 PM): The rest would be to resist damage, I imagine.
umbrafer (10:49:30 PM): It's a fairly low-speed collision, and only one success is needed to drop the Power I resist against to 2 :)
circlmastr (10:49:45 PM): Never mind then
Thematrian1 (10:49:48 PM): You swing around across the road, and ram them travelling at...50 MPT? Ish?
umbrafer (10:49:54 PM): Counting the passes I don't think I hit 60, which means that they're facing 5S and I'm facing 5L
umbrafer (10:49:57 PM): Yeah
umbrafer (10:51:01 PM): Ok, we're going to have to redo these rules eventually.
Thematrian1 (10:51:15 PM): Definitely
umbrafer (10:51:18 PM): (Fun fact: vehicles don't get armor when rammed, but pedestrians do.)
umbrafer (10:52:04 PM): Anyway.
Thematrian1 (10:52:12 PM): I'm going to give the guy outside the vehicle 5D, on the grounds that he's trapped against an immobile obstacle. I think he's going to soak anyway, but I did my best.
umbrafer (10:52:35 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 6 2 2 6 5
umbrafer (10:52:40 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 2
Thematrian1 (10:52:44 PM): Yeah, he's fine. Security armor is really amazing stuff, you know that?
Thematrian1 (10:53:01 PM): In related news, the guy who was standing on the UAV is now lying on the van's roof.
Thematrian1 (10:53:07 PM): Dude #3 is nowhere to be seen.
umbrafer (10:53:15 PM): Oh, yeah
umbrafer (10:53:21 PM): Even more fun fact, which you may have noticed:
umbrafer (10:54:43 PM): No, never mind
Thematrian1 (10:54:43 PM): Ah?
umbrafer (10:54:49 PM): I was wrong
umbrafer (10:55:06 PM): The rule of "when vehicles and pedestrians interact, only pedestrians get armor" is upheld.
umbrafer (10:55:13 PM): At least it's… consistent.
Thematrian1 (10:55:20 PM): Um
Thematrian1 (10:55:22 PM): Ish
Thematrian1 (10:55:41 PM): Anyhoo, dude #4 has an assault rifle. He opens fire.
Thematrian1 (10:56:25 PM): The bullets are AV. Resist 11S
umbrafer (10:56:40 PM): How many successes?
Thematrian1 (10:57:27 PM): oh, right, damage stages in this game. What I get for trying to do it by hand. He has 6 successes.
umbrafer (10:57:43 PM): Ugbugu
umbrafer (10:59:07 PM): Dodging!
umbrafer (10:59:14 PM): umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 2 3 3 3 4 2 6
umbrafer (10:59:17 PM): Woo!
umbrafer (10:59:20 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 4
umbrafer (10:59:36 PM): Now I just hope that no one else hits me before pools refresh x.x
Thematrian1 (10:59:54 PM): and there that is. You back up away from the man with the assault rifle, and he's too rattled by his near-death experience to track you.
Thematrian1 (11:00:49 PM): The guy on your roof clings to your turret, and avoids falling off.
umbrafer (11:01:04 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (11:01:13 PM): The guy you rammed is too busy diving away from his transport to shoot you
MilesMk1 (11:01:28 PM): You need a low-hanging branch to scrape him off with.
Thematrian1 (11:01:33 PM): Sigrun: #Alex, we need help! We've got two squads ahead, and more bugs behind. We're trapped!#
umbrafer (11:03:12 PM): #We've got one here, we'll be right there#
Thematrian1 (11:03:28 PM): More explosions from Escape Street
Thematrian1 (11:03:41 PM): Actually, you can see a street sign from your position: the buses are on Hove Road
Thematrian1 (11:05:08 PM): Blake, you may now act
MilesMk1 (11:06:15 PM): No enemies visible?
Thematrian1 (11:06:34 PM): None
MilesMk1 (11:07:02 PM): #Alex, should I bug out or come around? What happened back there?#
Thematrian1 (11:09:19 PM): Well, Blake?
umbrafer (11:09:22 PM): #Cockroa… um, guys in securty armor. Ran 'em over but they're still ticking."
umbrafer (11:09:24 PM): "#
Thematrian1 (11:09:25 PM): It looks like this will be the last Turn of the game.
MilesMk1 (11:10:28 PM): Doh.
MilesMk1 (11:10:55 PM): I really can't make up my mind.
MilesMk1 (11:11:15 PM): #Appolonia, stay low but swing back towards those UAVs and give me a shot.#
Thematrian1 (11:11:42 PM): #Very good, Mr. Ventures.#
MilesMk1 (11:11:47 PM): I'm going to hate myself for this.
Thematrian1 (11:11:59 PM): She rises a bit, maybe 15 feet above the ground, and turns at the next intersection.
Thematrian1 (11:13:03 PM): Meanwhile, Alex, another cockroach hauls himself out of the battered remains of his vehicle. He jumps to the ground and starts to sprint across the street, firing as he does so.
Thematrian1 (11:13:20 PM): What with one thing and another, you are facing two successes.
umbrafer (11:13:46 PM): This is in the same turn as everything else?
Thematrian1 (11:13:57 PM): yes. Same pass, even
umbrafer (11:14:20 PM): Bugger all. So much for my poor van--what's the damage?
Thematrian1 (11:14:42 PM): You're facing 11S
Thematrian1 (11:14:45 PM): er, D
Thematrian1 (11:14:48 PM): if you don't dodge at all?
umbrafer (11:15:08 PM): Well, zero Control Pool doesn't offer much dodging capability
umbrafer (11:15:21 PM): This is the same turn as the pool, right? Or is it the next one?
Thematrian1 (11:15:36 PM): yeah, same turn. Ok, resist 11D
umbrafer (11:16:43 PM): 11D-2=9D... has karma pool refreshed since the incident with the sniper-dude?
Thematrian1 (11:17:08 PM): the attack on the garage? Yeah, you had a refresh after that finished.
umbrafer (11:17:31 PM): Oh, whew. Let's see how far it'll go:
umbrafer (11:18:07 PM): umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 2 6 1 6 4
umbrafer (11:18:15 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 6
umbrafer (11:18:19 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Thematrian1 (11:18:22 PM): not bad
MilesMk1 (11:19:37 PM): Well, no reason not to try to improve on it, though...
umbrafer (11:19:50 PM): That gets it down to S, which is base, I'd need three more to get it lower... getting all three successes is not a happy probability.
umbrafer (11:19:54 PM): Well, actually, there is
umbrafer (11:20:10 PM): There are a few reasons, one of them being "opportunity cost", but the other being "cursed karma"
MilesMk1 (11:21:03 PM): Not two more?
umbrafer (11:21:59 PM): I have a much better chance of losing at least one of my existing successes than I do of getting the three that I need to stage down to M.
MilesMk1 (11:22:09 PM): Ah. Well, in that case...
MilesMk1 (11:22:14 PM): Just don't get shot again.
umbrafer (11:22:18 PM): More sensible would be buying three successes, but any one of those could backfire.
umbrafer (11:22:39 PM): Actually, though, I need my karma for the next test, which is the part where I try not to die from dump shock.
MilesMk1 (11:22:40 PM): I'm suddenly glad I turned around. And I hope Appolonia has more armor than the van...
umbrafer (11:23:34 PM): No, correction, this technically isn't dump shock.
umbrafer (11:23:54 PM): Ok. Van takes S from a single attack, which means I resist 6M Physical. Fortunately, I'm more fit than I was.
umbrafer (11:24:02 PM): umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 1 6 3
umbrafer (11:24:14 PM): But not fit enough. Hm.
umbrafer (11:24:21 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
umbrafer (11:25:15 PM): Karma reroll.
umbrafer (11:25:20 PM): CK roll:
umbrafer (11:25:24 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
umbrafer (11:25:26 PM): Whew.
umbrafer (11:25:31 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 3 5
umbrafer (11:25:37 PM): Aw man.
Thematrian1 (11:25:42 PM): ass
umbrafer (11:26:05 PM): Double ass. But the math made sense the first time, it still makes sense this time. x2:
Thematrian1 (11:26:06 PM): again?
umbrafer (11:26:09 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
umbrafer (11:26:16 PM): It's taunting me
umbrafer (11:26:28 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 5
Thematrian1 (11:26:32 PM): it sure is
umbrafer (11:26:36 PM): fjfejgs
umbrafer (11:27:05 PM): It still makes sense.
umbrafer (11:27:08 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
umbrafer (11:27:13 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 6
umbrafer (11:27:18 PM): Oh praise be.
MilesMk1 (11:27:20 PM): Finally.
Thematrian1 (11:27:22 PM): and there it is, finally
Thematrian1 (11:27:30 PM): you go from 8 boxes to 9?
Thematrian1 (11:27:35 PM): Resist Pain is still effective
umbrafer (11:27:59 PM): Oh, it is? Awesome.
umbrafer (11:28:08 PM): Anyway, the important part is that I am not actively dying.
Thematrian1 (11:28:32 PM): 9 boxes, driving a shot up van, but not dying. So far, so good.
Thematrian1 (11:28:54 PM): Alex and Blake, you have third passes comign
MilesMk1 (11:29:25 PM): I'll be shooting stuff if I can.
umbrafer (11:29:37 PM): As much as I'd love to shoot some people, I think it's Hiding Test time. Getting as out of the line of fire as I can.
Thematrian1 (11:29:40 PM): Not yet.
MilesMk1 (11:29:45 PM): I'd suggest Alex get the hell out of there.
Thematrian1 (11:30:09 PM): From Hove Road, you can hear crashing and exploding
umbrafer (11:30:13 PM): And this time I actually have to be careful summing up the modifiers.
umbrafer (11:30:21 PM): #Help Sigrun#
umbrafer (11:30:59 PM): What sort of terrain would you say this is?
umbrafer (11:31:05 PM): Open/normal/restricted/tight?
Thematrian1 (11:31:27 PM): normal, veering into restricted if you go off-road and on-lawn
umbrafer (11:32:40 PM): Unfortuantely I can't handle the off-road TN with as much aplomb as formerly. So that's +2 TN for Normal, +5 for wound and damage mods, -6 for VCR-3, -1 for Vehicle Empathy…
umbrafer (11:32:58 PM): TN 1.
umbrafer (11:33:01 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 1 1 5 2
umbrafer (11:33:05 PM): Aw hell.
Thematrian1 (11:33:10 PM): I count 3
umbrafer (11:33:11 PM): Anyway, that's 3 non-1s.
Thematrian1 (11:33:39 PM): heading back off-road, then, or just trying to outrun them?
umbrafer (11:34:25 PM): Outrun and move in directions that put solid objects between me and them. Generally sticking to roads, but leaving the line of fire is first priority.
Thematrian1 (11:34:45 PM): lawns it is, at least until the next turning
Thematrian1 (11:35:24 PM): A bus rolls slowly around the corner of Hove Road. At least one of the tires is flat, but it's still accelerating
Thematrian1 (11:35:36 PM): on closer examination, you see that the windshield is missing
Thematrian1 (11:36:36 PM): And that's the Turn. Next week, a series of unfortunate developments.
umbrafer (11:37:07 PM): I hope not.
MilesMk1 (11:37:09 PM): Oh, thanks a lot.
umbrafer (11:37:10 PM): Oh!
umbrafer (11:37:15 PM): Before I forget:
MilesMk1 (11:37:37 PM): Way to show confidence in us. :)
umbrafer (11:37:46 PM): Late start Thursday, 'cause one of my professors decided that Thursday evening was an awesome time to have an exam.
Thematrian1 (11:37:47 PM): Hey, I never said for whom.
MilesMk1 (11:37:54 PM): Hmm. I suppose.
Thematrian1 (11:38:03 PM): I'll have you know that one of the soldiers just had a really rotten time of it.
MilesMk1 (11:38:26 PM): Gah. Right, Thursday...
MilesMk1 (11:38:37 PM): Thursday looks bad for me. Blood samples coming in.
Thematrian1 (11:38:38 PM): Late Thursday. Ok.
MilesMk1 (11:39:00 PM): I think that sort of screws everything up since Glitch was supposed to be doing the killing.
Thematrian1 (11:39:22 PM): ...yeah, kinda
MilesMk1 (11:39:26 PM): Sorry...
umbrafer (11:39:29 PM): There's a small chance that I'll be delayed excessively… or that. Well, anyway, I will be on hopefully no later than 9:00, if people are here you can give up on me after 9:15, and if I get on and people are there we'll do our thing.
umbrafer (11:39:36 PM): And if people aren't, I get to sleep.
umbrafer (11:39:44 PM): So I don't know about everyone else, but I win either way.
umbrafer (11:39:47 PM): :D
Thematrian1 (11:40:42 PM): I'm driving all day Friday, so I'm content with either result. Anyway, I will be on next Monday - how about everyone else?
MilesMk1 (11:40:44 PM): Basically, because of the airline schedule involved and the way US Customs operates, they have a tendency to get there on Thursdays.
Thematrian1 (11:40:46 PM): I got some maybes last week
MilesMk1 (11:41:25 PM): I should be able to play next Monday. I'm not planning to go anywhere - there might be some family-related distractions, but I should be able to play.
umbrafer (11:41:38 PM): Next Monday's what, the 24th? Should work for me.
Thematrian1 (11:42:02 PM): oh man, it is, it's Christmas Eve. For some reason I thought it was the 23rd
MilesMk1 (11:42:17 PM): Ah.
Thematrian1 (11:42:27 PM): And the Monday after that is New Years' Eve. For crying out loud.
Thematrian1 (11:42:37 PM): OK, next week is still a go, but the week after that is not.
Dragcrell (11:42:42 PM): meh I'll be here usaly time after I get off work so ;3
circlmastr (11:42:44 PM): Next week works for me but not New Year's Eve (as it's my dad's birthday)
Thematrian1 (11:43:09 PM): Fair enough. No game on NYE, wish your dad a happy birthday for me. I'll see you all next week
MilesMk1 (11:43:18 PM): Ok, then... Again, sorry to be so flaky about Thursdays lately, but...
MilesMk1 (11:43:25 PM): See you guys later.
umbrafer (11:43:39 PM): I've been flaky about them too. We'll figure ito ut.
MilesMk1 (11:43:53 PM): Goodnight.
