Takako: Initiative(12) + Wounds(-2) + 4d6 = [5,2,4,4,10] = 25

I can start doing that if you guys think we need it. Largely i think we've been doing well, it's just that on this combat turn we had to back track a little when I was letting people move ahead while we waited for Sledge to do his flashbang that changed a lot of things.

Angel's Initiative -> 20
Sprite's Initiative -> 29

Thanee

New Combat Turn Initiative so far:

Angel's Sprite: 29
NPC-Lietenant (Hacker): 28
Takako: 25
Swims-with-Sharks: 22
Angel: 20
Mako: 17 (damn did he roll for crap, on 4 dice he got a total of 9 points)
NPC-Jerry (Dad): 12
NPC-Amy: 12
Flowers: 11
NPC-Bob (Supervisor):11
NPC-Dax (Drunkard): 10
NPC-Agent 2: 8
NPC-Fontine (mom): 7
NPC-Shi-Thead (kid): 6
NPC-Doctor: 5

Still waiting on initiative rolls from Sledge

Init = Int 5 + Rea 5 - Stun 1 = 9 + 1d6 (9 + 1d6=11)

Memory test = Log 3 + Wil 4 - Stun 1 (6d6.hits(5)=1)

Quickest way out if possible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Me too... and a 10 would have been enough for 3 passes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

With 1 hit on your memory test, you stumble a bit over the wreckage of the cashier's counter, but you seem to be heading in the right direction. You're a little more than halfway to the front door.

Well.... if you accept Flowers as your (lone) superior, he could roll a Rally Leadership test that would allow all of you (including the supervisor who has accept Flowers as his leader temporarily) to add +1 to your inits for every 2 hits he gets on the roll. That would give you the 3 passes with you being so close.

Leadership is awesome.

Just remember, that people have to accept you as their sole leader in order to get the benefits of your leadership. Especially a newly established team like this may not have done that yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I've got a face in my RL game that loves using leadership, only it irks some of my players to call him their leader. So he's forced to waste a complex action to command them to get temporary leadership if they want his help. It's a great opportunity for roleplaying and creates an interesting dynamic among the team.

Does that even work, when I am immersed in the Matrix? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'll let it work with the understanding that he is broadcasting any Leadership roll across an open channel to your commlink. I'm not sure how the technomancers really interact with their commlink while in VR, but I'm willing to say it works somehow.

Well, they are connected to it, as they need to somehow save files to it (they do not have any internal storage). And they certainly can communicate via commlink.

Ok, so unless Flowers totally screws up and gives her a reason to doubt him, Angel will accept his tactical advice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanee

... does Flowers want to be leader....

Is it a complex action, Use Skill? and when would would he do it?

Just for fun and if it fits in as an action .

Rally = Leadership 3 + Charisma[9] 9 + tailored pheremones 2 - Stun 1 - Notoriety 2 = 11 (11d6.hits(5)=8)

Got it - sorry for the confusion!


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)


Yeah, and I think I'm going to post Swims actions with the init turn included in the post so I don't get confused again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Swims init: 7 + 3d6 -1(wound) = 22

This is a great accidental smiley. "I roll my dice, and the result is awesomeness!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also, 8 hits on 11 dice...nice!

Haha! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, looks like Flowers is quite competent as leader (or at least he can make it look like it).

Bye
Thanee

You can do that as a Complex action on your first past. Note, tailored pheremones would only work with people is in a "comfortable conversation range" which does not apply to anybody on the team since you just ran away from your closest ally (and it definitely doesn't apply to Angel in the Matrix). So that takes away one of your hits and will only be giving a +3 to init once your turn rolls around.

To keep us moving, I rolled for Sledge

New Combat Turn Initiative:

Angel's Sprite: 29
NPC-Lietenant (Hacker): 28
Takako: 25
Swims-with-Sharks: 22
Angel: 20
Mako: 17 (damn did he roll for crap, on 4 dice he got a total of 9 points)
Sledge: 12
NPC-Jerry (Dad): 12
NPC-Amy: 12
Flowers: 11
NPC-Bob (Supervisor):11
NPC-Dax (Drunkard): 10
NPC-Agent 2: 8
NPC-Fontine (mom): 7
NPC-Shi-Thead (kid): 6
NPC-Doctor: 5

Init 29: So, Angel's Sprite goes first, but it hasn't received any commands yet. So I'll have it delay until Angel is able to tell it to attack.

init 28: Meanwhile the enemy Hacker will again try to hit Angel with a data spike. He managed to get 4 hits this time. Angel needs to defend with Intuition + Firewall.
If he manages to hit, the damage is Attack 4 + 2DV from Hammer program + net hits.

init 25: Takako can post up his actions for Pass one

init 22: Swims-with-Sharks can post up his actions for Pass one

init 20: Angel can post up her actions for Pass one

Defense against Data Spike -> 4 hits


Cut from IC:

Angel

The angelic Angel commands her sprite to attack, giving the other guy something to occupy him for the time being.

The sprite, also quite angel-like, though somewhat translucent and accompanied by a sparkling of energy, spreads its wings and points a glaive-like weapon at the enemy icon. Lightning erupts and engulfs the hacker.

Bye
Thanee

But Flowers carefully rubbed himself all over everyone's clothes to leave a floral scent!

At least he didn't take more damage from his own attack.


Commanding the Sprite to attack is a Simple Action. Your own attack would be a Complex Action. So you can't do both. Post up rolls for whichever you are doing this pass.

Nice try, but no such luck. Pheromones don't have a lingering affect like that even if all the characters did let you do that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I'm not doing anything apart from commanding the sprite (don't think I need to roll for this)... the attack is the sprite (assuming it can act directly?). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Or does the sprite also need to make a Matrix Perception test first?

Actually, I just looked up the Electron Storm power, and it certainly makes sense to use that one instead of just attacking normally.

Electron Storm

Cybercombat:6 + Resonance:6 [Attack:9] -> 4 hits vs. Intuition + Firewall

If successful: DV 6(+net hits?) Matrix Damage, resisted as normal, and 2 Noise.

Bye
Thanee

I'm letting you identify the target for the sprite so that it doesn't have to make the Matrix Perception check. You can make the roll for the Sprite's attack.
