Is Dubstep one of the regulars Frank was talking as being able to help Cat with her commlink or should I just chose a random club goer and post something up?

@NSEDM: Despite what the IC post might suggest Copperhead has got some way into the building...I just wanted you to hear what was going on outside!

Does Gossmaer need to roll anything for the ShadowSEA searches or can you buy hits for me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ok. For further reference, I'm using a Ruger Thunderbolt, with EX explosive ammo. That brings the damage up from 5P -1 AP to 6P, -2 AP.

Yeah, Dubstep is the man in question. Frank doesn't exactly know who he is though, but he does know that one of Reed Caspa's fans is supposed to be a 'shit hot decker' - Reed's words not mine. Feel free to talk to Frank though!

From SR4A295 Fear is LOS (single target), but it should not need multiple services to affect a group. Each target is going to need a separate complex action (by the spirit), but a single service of 'scare our enemies off' or 'put fear into that group of attackers' should let the spirit send fear at all of the attackers, one at a time.
Worded right, that service will keep any that fail (or continue to fail) the opposed test away.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) catching the driver with that could remove the threat in a hurry, either because the driver goes a long way (LOS for a hovering spirit in clear air on flat, open land is a LONG way), or because the panic causes him to fail a drive check.

@ EP:PL/UK: Okay, so I'm feeling the need to try chucking a white phosphorous grenade under one of those tanks, but I'm not sure on the test or rules. Would that be Agility + Thrown for the test? Does the - half for AP apply for vehicles?

Probably (although I haven't got my books infront of me at the moment)...it's pretty evil stuff! Aren't there conventions against using it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oh, and don't catch Tsubaki's spirit in it...I would think she would be mighty pissed!

Hmm, you know what, there probably are conventions against using them. Too bad Gemeaux doesn't care about that sort of thing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

I'll figure out the test, though. They're 12F availability, but if it seems like something I shouldn't have then I'll just cut them out of my inventory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm happy for you to have them...you are a heartless assassin after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) what do conventions mean to you?

Sorry no IC today, will get to it on Monday!

I'll get a post up for Copperhead attempting to sneak away without bringing the building down on her head.

Post up for Gossamer. She is still too close to 'event horizon' for any real info to be out there. She can hang about the post node for a while and try again later or Argent can bring some muscle/technical experts home to put her body back in the charger alllowing her to return to it if she so wishes.

After a couple of hours, there is some information out there, although mostly people trying to find out how to get rid of it. It seems to have infected a lot of nodes. Most replies/suggestions are bogus. There are a few sites/posters claiming they know how to get rid of it that she could investigate. One is Citadel Security Systems (CSS).

I'd just like to apologise again for my lack of activity. Busy first week back. I'll endeavour to do better next week. Have I missed much in either game?

Okay, here goes something. Let me know if I miss anything on the grenade throw stuff. ^_^

Tossing grenade at tank
Agi(9) + Throw(1) + Spec(2) = 12d6 for 6 hits.

I'll let you do the scatter stuff, because I'm a bit confused by it and I trust you with the rules more than myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I wouldn't bother checking there, they'll only have presentation semantics, no actual data. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif)


Sorry, couldn't resist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif)

I'm just glad someone got the reference!

@Virtual Scream/All
Monday summary:

Cipher - in a remote spot in a car park recovering from >1rtu@l5cr3@m attack. Currently on 6S, 3 boxes of which are suppressed by aspirin (effectively 3S). Just got the bad news from code sprite. Mister Joshua to post.

Cheers for the re-cap. I've (finally) managed to get 2 new responses up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Virtual Scream / Cat

Influence (pick a skill, they're all the same) roll for charming Frank: Etiquette roll for Frank. (15d6.hits(5)=6)
First impression etiquette roll for Reed/Dubstep: Etiquette roll (with First Impression) for Reed Caspa/Dubstep. (16d6.hits(5)=5)

@Fairy, while I craft the IC can you make some fear rolls for me? If I don't see any by the time I'm more or less ready to post (some time tomorrow I hope!) then I'll roll for you! Thanks

@Everyone else, sorry I'm slacking a bit on my posting schedule, I anticipate a flurry of activity over the next couple of days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't know how many you need, though... So, I will do the generic 6 rolls. XD You can use them one by one from first to last to however many times Fear is intended to be used.

8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=1, 8d6.hits(5)=0, 8d6.hits(5)=3

@Virtual Scream/phlapjack77
Either I'm not giving enough information or maybe giving misleading in my posts (IC and OOC), or Dante just has sex on the brain!

Hehe. Sorry about that, I was trying to have Dante be all secretive and stuff, so that it didn't look like he was questioning her about the virus. Maybe you've set the paranoia bar really high (a good thing!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hehe, no problem. Was more worried that I might have been confusing or misleading in my posts. Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of paranoia. After all just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you!

No need to worry about scatter as the max is 6m (it’s not an aerodynamic grenade is it???) and you got 6 hits (note hits don’t add to grenade damage, only get it nearer to target!) – I had to look up the rules (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , ages since I’ve seen an offensive grenade used! So, right on the money, and with 8P and -1/2AP that will do some initial damage to the land rover, although not enough to destroy it (will probably burn out the tyres, even runflats), and keep on burning for 10 combat turns doing 4P a turn (which isn’t enough to do further damage!). Lots of thick smoke too so I hope you brought along your thermo/ultrasound vision!
Ok, some good rolls there…

Gemeaux: Ini 15 (3IPs) Mordred: Ini 11 (3IPs) Tsubaki: Ini 10 (2IPs) bought hits for you…

Combat so far goes something like this:

1.1 Mordred fires, Gemeaux arrives, gives grenade to Mordred, Collots get inside, Tsubaki summons spider woman [Force 4], opposition deploy grenade launcher
1.2 Gemeaux throws grenade, spirit manifests inside the lead vehicle (only gets 2IPs when manifest), grenade launcher fires, air burst CS gas canister
1.3 Bang goes Gemeaux’s grenade, other peoples’ actions TBC…
2.1 Spirit uses fear power on first attacker [2 net hits], attackers exit the vehicle – one of them not exactly of his own free will!
2.2 Spirit uses fear power on second attacker [2 net hits], PCs need to resist power 5S gas attack [contact and inhalation so just a respirator will give half its rating as bonus D – unless anyone knows the RAW rules for it???]
2.3
…

Perception tests at -4 ruthenium -2 smoke penalties to draw a bead on the exiting attackers!

I'm dumb and forgot that I have the thrill seeker negative quality, so here's my test:

Thrill Seeker: Need 2 hits
Composure: Will(3) + Cha(3) = 6d6 for 1 hit. I effed up, so I'll spend a point of Edge and see if I get any more hits: 3 more hits.

After this fight, I have got to start working on my willpower... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
