IP#2 Amy 15 - Free action, yell "Leave Chomsky and Greeley, we let you leave. Don't and you're not getting out alive.", Simple Action, Take Cover, commands spirit Spirit of Air 14 - Attack Officer #1 Officer 2 11 Shoot Rhex and jump in car Rigger 11 - Drive car Drone 8 - shoot spirit Overkill 3 - ??? Chomsky 2 Greeley 2 Grease 1 So Amy is holding on to her free action for now, and takes cover and issues the command to the spirit of Air The spirit, seeing new priorities, attacks Officer#1, as he is the one who is actually holding Greeley 15d6.hits(5)=5 Officer#1 dodges 7d6.hits(5)=2 So, 12 DV base, +3 for the net hits, Resisted by Body +18 armor, -6 for AP is 15 dice 15d6.hits(5)=4 So he takes 11 points of damage and drops like a stone. Officer#2 takes one last shot at Rhex, and hops in the car. 15d6.hits(5)=5 Grease Dodges (including Cover and Full Defense Dice), -1 for successive attack. 15d6.hits(5)=3 Rhex has to resist base 9P 2 AP increased to 11P 2AP Body 4 + Armor 4 (reduced to 2) 6d6.hits (5)=1 So Rhex takes 10P, disabling him, and Grease has to resists 4 points of Biofeedback Damage (since it only has 8 boxes, the 2 extra boxes go to waste). Resist w/ Willpower 2 and Firewall 4 6d6.hits (5)=1 So Grease takes 3 boxes of damage from dumpshock. Now, since a drone he was jumped into was destroyed, he suffers 6 more points of biofeedback damage as dumpshock 6d6.hits (5)=3 So Grease takes 3 more boxes of damage, for a total of 6 points of physical damage - reducing his initiative to Next is the Rigger - the Patrol-3 starts to drive. Next, the Drone, which fires at the spirit of air, Full auto 6 round burst 7d6.hits(5)=3 The spirit dodges the attack 16 dice normally, -5 for the full auto 11d6.hits(5)=6 The spirit dodges it easily. @Overkill, So, with no pistol to Data Spike, do you just want to Data Spike the last drone (Which is a Complex Action) or something else? ETA when I say the car starts to drive away, bear in mind that it isn't going 60mph yet or anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Didn't I have biofeedback filter active? Thanks, -DrZ |

Didn't I have biofeedback filter active? Thanks, -DrZ Unfortunately, you didn't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) On your previous action, you wanted to do 3 things: 1) Decrease your Noise Reduction by 1 and increase your Program Capacity by 1 (Free Action), in order to allow you to: 2) Load the Biofeedback Filter (Free Action) 3) Invite 3 Marks from Overkill (Simple Action) Then we had the discussion about whether or not you wanted to be out of LOS, or in LOS, but use a Take Cover action so as to give yourself better cover against the Officer, so you added a 4th thing you wanted to do 4) Take Cover (Simple Action) You can't do all 4 of those, so per post #2642 you chose Taking Cover rather than loading the Biofeedback Filter. |

Ok,
So Overkill Data Spikes the Drone and the Car 14d6.hits(5)=6 Drone Resists 11d6.hits(5)=5 So you do 9DV Resists 6d6.hits (5)=4 So the drone takes 5DV worth of Matrix Damage The car now resists: 11d6.hits(5)=4 So base damage is 10DV Car Resists Damage 6d6.hits (5)=3 So the car takes 7 points of Matrix Damage Greeley and Chomsky do nothing (Greeley, btw, suffered some burn damage from the Spirit of Air's attack - nothing too bad, btw) Grease's turn at 1 - your action sir? |

So we've got Amy in cover, Rhex smoking, one of the cops trying to get away in a car, Overkill nearby? -DrZ ETA: When I got dumped from RHex, didn't my initiative revert to whatever my AR initiative would be? (it would be handy if they listed stuff like that in the rigger section..) |

ETA: When I got dumped from RHex, didn't my initiative revert to whatever my AR initiative would be? (it would be handy if they listed stuff like that in the rigger section..) IIRC, you roll the difference between your VR and meat initiative and subtract that from your initiative total as soon as it happens. |

Unless something drastic changes in our situation, Drave will be trying to finish off the Drone and the Vehicle with another forked Dataspike.

Ok,
Yes, forgot about the reduction in initiative (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) Your VR Init is 4d6+7 Your AR Init is 1d6+7 So as soon as you got dumped, you lose 3d6 subtracted from your initiative, so you don't actually get an action (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) Btw, when it is your turn after initiative is rolled again, yes, you can be in AR and drive. However, you aren't close enough to cut him off. You were about 50 meters away from him before he started moving, and now you are at least 70 meters away from him - which is not Short Range (which is what you need to cut him off). You can, however, do a Catch Up action. Now, you will be controlling the car manually (which is better than via a Control Device action simply to avoid Noise), and you will roll: Pilot 6, plus specialization 2 plus Reaction 7, -2 for wounds, -2 for dumpshock (you will be at minus 2 to all actions until 8 minutes have passed). For right now, we are up to Amy and the Spirit again. IP#3 Amy 5 - Spirit of Air 4 - Officer 2 1 r Rigger 1 - |

@Grease,
In addition, right now you are not in VR or AR. You need to spend a simple action to switch to AR, and then another to switch to VR. When you got dumped, you got dumped out of the Matrix altogether. |

To be consistent w/ prior rolls, Amy will cast Mass Confusion on the driver running away. She'll also send a message to the others: <<@Grease, Overkill [Amy's subvocal] Don't let the last one get away. >>

I haven't been following the IC all that closely. For my own edification, Greeley and Chomsky are still with us and not in either of the cop cars, right?

With the last Drone down, Drave will swap Fork for Decryption and Dataspike the Vehicle.
Frak, that Rigger is having a very bad day; he just lost a lot of expensive hardware in very short amount of time. OH, and I had a question, do Lone Star Officers normally carry explosive ammo loaded in their sidearms? |

OH, and I had a question, do Lone Star Officers normally carry explosive ammo loaded in their sidearms? I bet you'd find a similar answer to "Do Lone Star officers normally wear full body armor?" "Do Lone Star officers usually dodge like mofos?" "Do Lone Star officers usually perceive like hawks?" and "Do Lone Star officers usually have extraordinary skills with a pistol?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I think putting everything together, we either just took down two elite Lone Stars sent alone in a dangerous area with insufficient backup, or those were not Lone Star. Both of which I actually consider possible. It might be useful to interrogate one of them, if one survives... ETA: And someone already pointed out that the warrant was clearly fake, since it wasn't signed by a judge in the ARO. |

Yeah, I am just curious as to whether either of those "Officers" was Lynx or Stinger. (They never lifted their visors, and both officers were the appropriate height.)
ETA: And someone already pointed out that the warrant was clearly fake, since it wasn't signed by a judge in the ARO. Yes, I remember that someone; I see him in the mirror everyday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Ok, time for the next initiative round.
Amy 4d6+8=27 Overkill 2d6+9=16 Grease 1d6+5=7 Rigger 4d6+8=25 Officer#2 3d6+9=22 I'm going to take Chomsky and Greeley out of it, as they are no longer in danger. I'm going to take Amy's spirit out of the equation as well, it will hover over Greeley and Chomsky and protect them, but as there are no hostiles left, it has no one left to attack. IP 1 Amy 27 Rigger 25 Officer#2 22 Overkill 16 Grease 7 Amy's Action? The car is currently 30 meters or so away from her. |

Question on the opposing Rigger; has he been taking damage from having all of his Drones bricked and fried? Or is that only when he is jumped into the specific drone as it is being hit? |

You have no way of knowing this IC, but OOC I will tell you he has been using the Control Device action to command all the drones - thus no biofeedback damage. The exception was the last drone, which was on Auto pilot on its last action. |

The exception was the last drone, which was on Auto pilot on its last action. Yeah, it was just an OoC inquiry. Still learning the rules and details. Particularly Rigging, as I am playing one for the upcoming Lock & Load. |

Riggers only risk getting dumped if they're actually jumped in the drone or if you locate and brick their RCC.
