Is the Spirit down? If so, do you want me to take out the gun of the goon taking pot shots at you Jack?

As an aside, I think that the middle of combat should something where unless you want to take an action to speak to someone, you shouldn't be collaborating OOC to determine the best course of action in a CT.
We never really discussed combat before (since this is the first one of the run) - so no harm, no foul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I don't have a problem with that, assuming you don't have a problem with us subbing Free Actions for Simple Actions, which I don't think is ever explicitly stated in the book.
Jack's IC request is for everyone to bug out. We're already in a pretty good position tactically now that the spirit is gone. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Point taken, I have at times had similar reservations when I am running combat in a game; combat happens fast and you don't have time to always ask what your best option would be. Drave will continue falling back on the route he was on before the Spirit interrupted him. |

Since Jack goes last, he's going to make sure everyone else is, in actuality, getting the Hell out of Dodge. If that appears to be the case, he is going to sprint.
Sprinting Test: Running (3) + Strength (7) [Physical 9] (10d6.hits(5)=3) Jack's movement shouldn't overtake Amy or Overkill. I don't think there's a chance of that, but I wanted to put it out there. |

QUOTE (Jack VII @ Mar 18 2014, 08:13 AM) Based on OOC knowledge, once we book it we can drive around for several hours. The mage has to go back to her body at some point. Or Amy can risk astrally perceiving to check to see if the mage is still following us. Hopefully the mage just decides to see us out of Yak territory. I have an answer to this, but we're not supposed to plan things in OOC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Amy will run (not srpint) along the same direction. What kind of action can she perform while running? |

As long as Amy is still with him, Drave is Running and checking ahead to see if there are anymore surprises between them and the street.

You're our magic specialist. Hell, Jack doesn't really know anything about magic except that it's bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ok, so given the above, Amy, Overkill and Jack are all booking it, while Grease does his best impression of Lieutenant Gorman, laying down suppressing fire with the incinerator, while falling back by squads to the APC.
Given the fact that you are only 30 meters from the houses (less for some of you), you will easily be able to get out of LOS of the Goons, and into the street into Grease's BMW. Jack (or anyone) want to put up IC posts on that? I'm assuming that Jack hangs out outside the car long enough to pick up Rhex and throw him in the trunk? |

Yes, even if that means he has to put a shotgun in a Yak's mouth in order to close the trunk. I can edit my last IC post to account for everyone's movement. |

Amy will stay outside the car as well, until everyone is ready to go in and the drone is in the trunk. She'll take a quick peak in the astral to locate the mage once more, and see what he's up to.

When Amy looks into the Astral, the mage is hovering in the air about 100 meters above the car, waiting for you to do something like that.

Ok, not cool, although I sort of expected something like it, like an astral combat attack.
She's got guts, I'll give her that. She must be aware that I'm more powerful and you can still get hurt in the astral. Oh well, my revenge will come later. |

If you leave astral space, then you can jump in the car, and we can continue from there. If you hang around, we will need to roll Initiative again. |

No I have no reason to continue perceiving, I just wanted to check whether the mage would keep pursuing, and I'm now convinced she will. I'll have things to say in IC. |

Ok - at this point, we just have to figure out what Amy says IC, and how you all react to it.

Just let me know (through IC or OOC) when everyone is in the car, and then what Grease is doing, then I can post IC what happens next.
