Juicy.
The shield is no problem, but to remove the helmet and shoot you need two separate actions (you are still in combat time), so it would be possible if Tanya manages to get 3 successes on a Judge Intention test.

Ok, here goes: Glo Edge 3, 1 hit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Runner mage: 9D 1 [4, 4, 1, 3, 3, 2, 6, 1, 3] No idea if combat sense or similar is in operation, and if she gets -6D from the chameleon coating...?

Anyway, I guess this is a surprise check? Mage 10D [3] 3 [1, 6, 2, 4, 5, 5, 1, 1, 4, 1] so if she's aware doesn't matter either way...or is this affected by her spell sustaining?!? In which case she's likely oblivious?!
Glo Int 5+Rea7+3 aware 15D [3] 5 [4, 5, 2, 6, 4, 4, 3, 3, 6, 2, 2, 6, 4, 6, 2]

Argh! Jack, let me know before I go further with any D rolls please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

That's cool. I'm going for a more descriptive approach. That'll take my whole next turn then will it? Shiled this turn, remove helmet and shoot next turn.

I need more initiative dice.....

The perception test is only to see if you get a bonus to the surprise test and, yeah your -6 do count as well as her sustaining penalty, leading to her being surprised.

The elf has a total soak pool of 3 Body + 17 Armor


The dwarf on the other hand:
Perception Test: 14d6t5 5
Surprise Test: 18d6t5 6
isn't surprised (Drone with Ultrasound and Motion Sensor) and currently jumped into the Lynx
In it's weapon mount Glo can see a very dangerous and very illegal looking full auto shotgun. Luckily, shooting in an ongoing melee combat with flechette is quite likely to hit both combatants... so better beet his ini (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Glo's a killer not a kamikaze, no way she would expose herself to an easy firing solution out in the open! Even if it takes another minute of sneaking! Any chance of a Google maps overlay of somewhere similar we can use? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

No problem, I just assumed you wanted to charge her. As long as you stay in cover the rigger won't notice you.

I'll try to whip up a sketch of the situation.

Edit:
Here you go:

@Jan I don't suppose that there is any way to talk you out of killing the Troll, is there? My look on this is that we are trying to lift a contract on you guys and killing this guy might get someone else to get another contract on you. If you were part of a team and someone killed your friend, would you not do everything you could to track those people down and kill them? Just asking you to reconsider.

Thanks Jack...think the link isn't working but pasted it in to my browser and voila!

So, when you say the lynx is 'next to' the mage, is that as in standing guard or driving past to get to the action? I ask because the safest place to be for Glo is probably on top of the damn thing!!!

Are you trying to convince me or Jan? As a player sure, I can see plenty of merits to keeping him alive. Questioning/interrogation being the foremost. Jan though, not so much. He's a pretty straightforward and fairly ruthless chap. He's working on the lines of making sure the major threat is eliminated (major to him as he hasn't got a weapon on him that can hurt the thing) and working on taking one of the others for questions later. Also, Jan wouldn't even be considering the idea of a second contract because he won't have conceived of a plan that leaves any of their team alive.

@Aria

Driving past is correct - the back door is open and the mage will shortly go inside to safety while the drone moves towards the hole in the wall (at the moment it's slowly driving down a small ramp)

Tanya Judge Intentions: Judge Intentions: 14d6t5 3


Made the threshold. You still need to edit the last post to indicate that you have not yet fired the shots.

Ok, Jack…Glo will try and approach from behind the drone with a view to getting to the ‘off ramp’ once it is clear…once that door is closed it’s unlikely she’d get inside…so, is that an action, two? If just one is the mage within whip range from the ramp? If not she’s well within SMG range (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) …I’m assuming Glo doesn’t know the mage will make a break for the van at this point but if that’s obvious she’ll still try and get inside and then deal with the mage and the rigger there…

I wasn't going to edit it until we knew what was happening. It takes me long enough to get my turns done anyway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
I can edit it to remove the shooting. It was only meant to be a quick action though. I aren't doing it gleefully or sadistically as it sounds in your post. I was literally just going to kick off his helmet and finish him off as I passed.

Whatever though. I'll roll with it


Edit: IC post edited

Alright,
I'm starting Round 3

Glo gets a surprise round against both the mage and the rigger (she can enter the car and has access to the dwarf)

Both spirit, drone and man enter delayed with a -10 Ini penalty

Drone: 33-10=23 Ini
Spirit of Man: Ini: 13+2d6 17 -10=7
Street Sam: Ini: 14+3d6 27 -10=17

On the other side of the bar, Ninja Ork is about to make his entrance:
Ini: 14+4d6 23

Stealth: 15d6t5 7

One Perception Roll from Al
and one from John: Perception check (Electronic Warfare): 15d6t5 2
Totally misses the guy's entrance from his sniper position.
John's hiding place: Stealth: 17d6t5 7
Ninja Ork Perception: 15d6t5 6
Much better at detecting, but not enough: Two dark ships passing each other in the night...

How close to the ramp is the Mage? 2-3m is probably whip range given its reach...

Let the carnage continue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

Yeah, you are within "reach" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)


Edit:
Since adamu asked me to roll for him:

Ini: 16+4d6 30
Perception: 11d6t5 4
Surprise: 15d6t5 4
No surprise for Al

And since I forgot John's Ini:
Ini: 14+5d6 31

Looks like the Ninja Ork has the first move since he is the only one able to see one of his targets - unless of course Al does a stealth check of his own and no-one sees anybody (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks Jack.

No, hadn't intended on Stealth so won't. Was headed on towards truck, but looks like won't make it right away. Since not surprised, I'll go on full defense when he jumps me, dropping my initiative to 20.

Bring it!

Let's see how the disaster dominos are working out:

Ninja Ork carries two stun batons and uses the Two-Weapon-Style-Attack, combined with a charge attack and a Pouncing Dragon maneuver.
AGI 6 Skill 8 Charge 2 Superior Position 2
Attack: 18d6t5 7
Which happens to be the limit of the weapons (Base 4, Custom Grip 1, Enhanced Accuracy 1, TWSA 1)

DV 9S(e) AP-5 +2 (Pouncing Dragon) +1(TWSA) +net successes

No matter if Al dodges (likely), John will notice the attack (checks for surprise: Surprise Test: 14d6t5 7... he isn't) and tries to nail the ninja (Surprise Test: 14d6t5 5 who also saw that coming)
Ninja Ork goes full defense
John shoots a full auto salvo
FA Burst: 21d6t5 6
Ninja tries to dodge but takes -3 for being in melee and -9 for FA burst: Defense: 7d6t5 1
Ninja has to soak 16P AP-6
Soak: 21d6t5 6
Takes 10 P
-3 wound mod, takes his Ini from 23 (attack -10, Full Defense -10, Wounds -3) to exactly 0
Also he goes prone.

Oooo...that's bad! For the mage...at least I hope it will be! Well, I should have rolled first and then gloated:

15d6t5: 3 [15d6t5=4, 5, 1, 2, 1, 3, 5, 1, 2, 2, 5, 2, 4, 1, 4] Monofilament whip [A5(7), R2, 12P, -8AP] ...will save my edge just in case...

Clearly she didn't need to have wifi on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) ...but for reference, it is on, running silent, wrapper on the choice bits of gear to make them innocuous, wrapper on innocuous stuff to make it look dangerous (unless it only works on a single icon in which case it will be disguising the whip), and an Agent program scanning for unsolicited marks

Now, hopefully the mage is surprised and only gets a soak roll...(I think the negatives for sustaining apply to every roll except soak but I'm not entirely sure) but I will let Jack tell me before I IC anything...

Jepp, all tests, mage is surprised.

Elf Mage soakSoak: 12d6t5 6
The devil's own luck...

That's 9P - The mage is still alive, though barely - time to spend a bit of edge or contend with a mage dropping her sustained spells and firing a big old lightning strike back at Glo

If not, Elf grips the amulet hanging around her neck, calls out an incomprehensible word and shoots lightning from her fingers:
Lightning Bolt F8: 11d6t5 2[11d6t5=4, 5, 3, 4, 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 4, 1]
But her aim is terrible

8P(e) AP-8 + Net successes

Lots of activity today. Sorry that I can only post morning and night.

Tanya Initiative: Initiative: 16+3d6 24 so, 24 and 3IP

So is the drone through the hole into the yard yet or is it still approaching? I am assuming that we are on the next turn so rolled init of 24. I do not know what Jan's init is so will need to wait to see if I can move and where.

The round begins as the drone moves through the hole in the wall, the black man with the trenchcoat appears above the wall, using half cover (while standing on the trash container) and the spirit may or may not be floating above them, depending on if Aria uses Edge to finish the mage off.

Haha. I'm only rolling 2d6+11 so you're pretty safe on 24 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I got 14

Will save my edge!
Def roll against the lightening bolt: Int 5 Rea 7 Combat Sense 5 = 17D 5 [6, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 4, 2, 3, 5, 5, 1, 1, 6, 4] …so easily evades

Follow up whip attack next round 15D 5 [4, 5, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 6, 2, 6, 2, 4, 5]
Won’t roll Def as while it was 20 I’ve no idea what it is now that she has no sustained spell and -3 wound mods! …she really doesn’t look that pretty anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)
