only if you hit reverse ! .. actually that does sound cool, it serves a purpose too. nice rolling

I'll post reactions to that when Im not at work,

hell yes !

you see Longshot slam a Hummer into reverse and try to sideswipe him some nice men in armour just doing their jobs!

looks like someone read your mind, your back is covered.

Only the tenuous bridge between ships to worry about along with the guy you can see in your headlights in the opposing ship doorway as he waves a machine gun threateningly then wonders where the hell all his bullets went ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

post your (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ic.gif) away man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) a man is only wise when he recognises how much he doesn't know ... or summat that sounds epic and wise...

roll gud or LTS*

Nova, there's a truck ... you may wanna move (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) the driver seems to be a bit ... manic ?

*Learn 2 Swim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Driving test, throwing Edge on it: 1 hit
Man, IC is hating on me these days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Whew close.. the ships drift apart gently and the truck tyres slide towards the precipice .
At the last moment you manage to slow enough for the boats to realign and drive onto the bridge.

The extent of this rounds movement will just about get u aboard. Longshot will be stranded on the bridge in his new hummer behind you should he be able to scrape the guards off his bumper.

You can still take your actions. Or get out. But the truck is slow.

Make sense ?

Ok, Crispy plans to jump out and if nobodies in sight, stealth around a bit to get in a good firing position. If a bad guy is in sight, he'll use the truck as cover and start firing.

I'll post up as soon as I'm out of these meetings from hell...geez, how do they expect us to get real work dumpshock done?

other than the guy peeling himself from under the truck ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) although I'd guess you can't see whether he's dead or not yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

tell me about it ... now I just need to work on getting my wages linked to my post-count (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

if you ever figure out how to do that, I'd be willing to pay lots of money for the answer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

just post me a blank cheque and a post marked envelope and I'll return you a "self help e-book!"

my aunt's sisters son has made literally dollars by this secret method, now you can too !

Hahaha! the "aunt's sisters son" thing made me stop and think for awhile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Where do I send the "cheque"? I totally won't use the address for nefarious means, promise!

okay some shit happened

Nova wiggled her magic fingers and forgot how to work her rifle "DOH!"

Good guys had a brain fart and looked into the sharp end of a barrel, did not want!

Longshot reversed into two poor innocent bystanders, glancing blows as they dive for the floor and prepare to return fire.

Crispy bounces the truck off the second boat, nearly killing a former Volounteer Charity worker for Doctors without Borders
and wrecking the door mechanism on the new boat.
Also causing some rattling and screaching from the trailer of the rig.!! "what the frag is THAT?"

The spirit uses it's concealment power on Nova and is set to guard the team (I'd love to know how a materialised TREE can conceal anything in this un-natural environment, but but for the time being will overlook it as the guys are ill-equipped to deal with a spirit so will not take it head on.

we move back around to the top of the 9th.

lets GO ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

INITIATIVE ORDER - 2nd pass
***************

Nova's Initiative -> 15 + 4 hits => 19 (4 IP)

Runner team init = 14 (2 passes)

Longshot 10d6.hits(5)=3 13 int. (3 passes)

Init for Crispy: 9 + 3 = 12, (2 passes)

Spirit's Initiative -> 12 + 5 hits => 17 (2 IP)
***************

Well... magic? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I really don't have a more logical explanation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Bye
Thanee

Well, then... let's try that again (hopefully not in the same way).

This time without the called shot, though.

1st Simple Action: Shooting the guy again! -> 4 hits (damage is 9P -4 AP)

Bye
Thanee

Let crispy know to not bother scraping that guy off the truck... call him a hood ornament.

You'll have to move around your own hummer to be able to see the mess that is the other guy.

I'm ready to admit this did NOT go according to plan.

Now; where did my guys put that flamer... oh yeah. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So, is any "good guy" still around for my second Simple Action (the one who was sneaking up on the hummer, maybe)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bye
Thanee

yes, he's not hiding ... too busy trying to get the bullets out of his face (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

but you would need to move around the vehicle or stand up from cover to see him,

thus leaving you open for retalliation and negating your concealment.

also, call me confused, but, isn't there some sort of modifier for trying to swing a sniper rifle around in close quarters ?

the scope alone is set to long range so close targets should prove difficult to hit ... if there's nothing it's no prob, but we seem to be bordering on the bounds of reality here

full hydraulic combat armour that doesn't impede stealth or movement
mystic spirits that don't draw attention when manifested in broad daylight
and now sniper rifles that are accurate from the hip

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

YAY! (and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif) when I first read this)

boooo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Hey save some for Crispy!

SR4 glosses over a lot of things like that. Most of it isn't that bad (I'm not that into guns having umpteen fiddly stats), but I wish SR4 had more/better encumbrance and armor rules than currently. SR5 actually got worse in that area, imo.

as long as I'm not missing something .. cause .. Magic or cause technology .. that's cool.

on with the show ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If only. Crispy is one slow mofo compared to apparently everybody in this little boating adventure...

it's not how Fast you do it .. it's how well you do it in the limited time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So, the really nice guys are up

1) runs for cover after Nova shoots at him (or not, still waiting)
He spends the remainder of his turn hiding and reloading his SMG

2) is street pizza

3) gets up off the floor as a simple action and sprints for cover to the left side of the old boat

3) gets up off the floor as a simple action and sprints for cover to the right side of the old boat

Perception check from Longshot please, it is auditory and -3 for being in a vehicle

Crispy , visual perception as you exit the truck please !!

He is not invisible, just hard to see while concealed (-6 to Perception; Nova would have no trouble seeing the spirit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).



Nothing that I know of, but you are always free to put some modifiers down, if you feel it is reasonable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bye
Thanee

Ok, let's see... -2 modifier for additional target during the same action phase (so, at least something, though not specific to sniper rifles)

2nd Simple Action: Shooting the other guy -> 5 hits (damage is 9P -4 AP)

Bye
Thanee

after scattering the blokes longshot will zoom across to the new boat, if possible.
8d6.hits(5)=2 - perception

okay so you are moving out of cover to get the shot .. cool
REA test vs. Nova (5d6.hits(5)=1)
crap
DAMAGE RESIST test vs. Nova (11d6.hits(5)=1)
actually forgot some modifiers, not sure if possible to glitch a damage roll ?
nevermind, vs 14P you pump him full of depleted uranium lead and he goes down like a sack of shehova!
