The troll will be a more difficult shot as he's prone between the Rovers, not impossible, but also now very aware that combat is going on! I'll have a look at this when I get home this evening and amend as needed...the Lynx may need to break cover (or at least come to the edge of it) to get a shot...

EDIT: Looking at the map the Lynx is currently behind an outbuilding but I'll assume you can be positioned off its southern corner. The troll will have cover, his shield, and a bucket full of injury mods! ...so, let me know if you want to take that shot instead, you will take him out of the picture with that shot so I've no problem with that. Al has nuked his gun so he'd only be sucking his thumb anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Regarding smartlinks: I'd say they have to be in the eyeball so in this case the drone sensor suite. I'd count the VR version as implanted as the info is going directly to your brain (otherwise I can't really see the difference between a smartlink there and in a pair of glasses / contacts)...! Remember though, what works for you also works for the foe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

@LookingGlass

I feel like my posts are not very descriptive or as dynamic as others. Please bear with me.

While I can visualize the guard station, I really don't know where the other "bad guys" are in the room, so my last post was just keep shooting - boring, but I'll get the hang of pbp writing soon.

@LocknLoad/Drace

Are we going to move the game forward without the other active players?

@L&L:JustKelly

Yep! Just waiting for iverkills post, and then were going forward. Missing players will be NPCd as background until their return/replacement

Can someone do me a solid and link me to the maps for LG please? My brain is melting trying to dig through threads. Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I found.. finally (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Coolness.

Didn't know that was resolved yet - will get it up.

I'll wait to declare my third pass action until we see what happens in the intervening time.

Hm... I'd been figuring the troll as still a threat... Not sure now...

I have a reply ready to go but it kinda depends on us getting surprise on the whistling Troll girl. Is that too much to assume?

edit: As in, she approaches us but isn't ready for what I'm about to do...

Hopefully the IC gives you some options to act...?

Well he's not dead so still counts as a threat, he can still do stuff even with wound mods and no primary weapon, I've left it to you to decide...the drone racks are a bit of creative licence at the moment, three each just felt like a good number (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@LG: sorry it's a bit brief but I don't want to step too hard on anyone's toes. I'm sort of fudging through the initiative but rest assured I will do my best to keep it fair while still keeping the story moving along...

@Aria: Could you add Jan to the list of characters on the first page please. I can't remember where I put him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

edit: He's 2/3rds of the way down page 35

Initiative = 18

Attack Roll = 5 hits

Damage = 11(+net hits)P

Initiative: Crap lost link to the first roll: it was two 1's so: 12

Attack: Shock Hand to the chest. 4 Hits

Damage 8S +hits

That should put her down; but, Mr. Joshua, had you thought that we now have to drag her unconscious form to GOD knows what closet to keep her out of sight?

Done!
Unconcious form??! Damn! She's into physical damage overflow there (I'm assuming that rule was carried over from SR4?!?), I can look up the rules and make any rolls later but she's well and truly out for the count, broken bones, scorch marks - hope you feel good about yourselves (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

quiet insertion...mission accomplished lol

right play by my count - the inside team's current advantage of being undetected trumps all else

plus you guys are giving new meaning to my post header!

Hey, I'm thinking on my feet here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tbh though I thought if there isn't an empty room immediately available I'll just stuff her back up the vents (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

@aria: Did my elbow put her down before the shock hand? If so is she dying?

@adamu: glad you liked it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You did catch the part where she is a troll, right?

In all seriousness no worries, just struck me as a funny complication that goes with knocking her out.

Yeah. I equated young and female to mean smaller than an average troll. I imagined body 5 or 6. I have strength 8 so I reckon I could do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Tribes

Adamu has kindly agreed to take over as GM temporarily to run Steamer's abduction. I think he intends that Frizzen will meet up with Tyro and Umi's new characters at the mall and they will have leads but I'll leave it to him to explain. I will probably bow Cam/Lady boy out for now but Briar will be available if you want matrix support!

Enjoy!

That's about right. There are empty rooms on your right...

@LG - my third-pass shot will be a called shot at the fuel tank of the closest Rover. Run & Gun doesn't allow for anything as fun as a spectacular explosion automatically, but it will at least screw with the vehicle - and all that leaking gasoline can't make the troll or anyone else around there feel very safe!

Still taking one aim for one extra die, but you'll have to take six dice off that third roll.

@Drace - will have an IC for you in the Tribes thread in about 24.

@Umi and Tyro

Sheets look good, and I am getting a good sense of the characters' backgrounds from your discussion.

Umi - you mention your sheet is possibly not final…?

Also, any further background is not required but very cool - the more I know, the more I can tailor subplots to your characters.

@Any other would-be Tribespersons -

In the spirit of Aria's open door policy on the campaign, I will be happy to take new runners into the game mid-stream.

@All new players-
shall we say until early next week for the initial group's sheets to be finalized, and I will open doors into the IC from there?

@Tribes -

okay, since Umi and Tyro are saying their sheets are basically ready, no need to wait until next week.

Aria has answered the question on contacts.
My impression from your chat on backgrounds was that Umi and Tyro's characters were not yet members of either Tribe, but either way it doesn't really matter.
If you are taking a Tribal contact, let me know who that is when you can.

Drace/Umi/Tyro - if you will indulge the tiniest bit of railroading just to get the initial three "team members" synced up in an orderly manner -
I thought at some point reasonably soon Friz might find his way to the "scene of the crime" and look for leads.
Umi and Tyro's characters (together? separately?) will have already been there and been witnesses (choose your own reason for not having intervened). Then you can work out your own reasons IC to work together, and off we go - end of railroading.

So Drace, post away.

Umi and Tyro, if you will each post ICs of yourselves doing whatever it is you might be doing at the crime mall at around 1315ish, somewhere at least in sight of the mid-level, then I will IC what you see, and then you can encounter Friz after that.

And don't forget that Aria will be playing her character Briar as a Tribes support decker, so that resource is there.

@LG Sorry for vanishing on you guys like that. Had to fly to Tir Tairngre on school business. I'll get back to posting tonight.

I've posted IC asking a couple of question

1) Is the troll girl dead?
2) Who is she?

Also, does she have anything else on her that may be deemed 'useful'

What is this room I'm in?

Cheers

I suppose the main question I need to ask is what is on her ID card.
