A little, but I am also being serious, Taurus is letting you guys make your play, but he is pretty sure it is going to end with him dealing with the cop, so he is ready to do that too.



Completely understandable from Taurus' perspective, he recognizes that as a better idea, but...(see above response) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That elf woman is so messed up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif)

One thing I am wondering, though. Do we only hear her? Or do the cops also say something (to her)? Or can we simply not hear them, because they are not screaming but trying to use their deescalation training on her. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


Also, is Rabe's stuff somewhere within sight in the reception area (mostly for Taurus)?

Maybe he can just grab it now, that the cops will have other things on their mind than getting their paperwork done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, the package is on the other side of the reception and yes, the guard didn't speak loud enough for you all to hear him across the whole lobby.

Anna has 16 counterspell dice, but I feel a bit awkward to toss them into the fry since you already RPed the guard being petrified.

Okay, cool! I was just re-reading the posts and realized, that we are only hearing part of the "conversation" there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@Anna: If it changes the outcome, he can edit it, so do whatever you think Anna would do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

OOC: Either she goes ballistic on the receptionist or she goes thief and tries to steal the personal items.


Jack would you allow Anna a palming roll to steal the personal items? Has Hagen noticed the receptionist turning to stone? Anna can point it out if not.

This is one hell of a distraction.

@gilga
Well, you specified that you want to cover the team and the npcs, so I assume you won't commit everything to just one person - especially since those dice have to last for the full combat turn.

So yeah, if you want to drop all 16 dice on him to hopefully achieve six successes you certainly can do so, but that leaves the rest of the team including you without protection for the turn.

Edit:
The packet is still behind the reception - not easy to lunge over and grab it without being seen. Also, Taurus is mere seconds away from getting the stuff legaly.

Yes, Hagen has seen what happened. Ini time will commence shortly - depending of course what you want to do with your counterspell.

Oh - alright. How large can Anna cast a manna barrier in there?

About 40m without intersecting with the outer ward.
From the lift in the center of the building to the reception it's about 10m with another 10m to the entrance with the petrified guard. Though I assumed you accompanied Nova instead of Taurus, or at least stood by in the open elevator.

Basically, you are free to cast a mana barrier at whatever size and force you want.

Seems reasonable, she accompanied nova because Anna was looking at Rabe. So her sticky fingers have to wait.

Initiative: Initiative: 14+2d6 23
Action: Petrify F6- on mad mage Petrify F6: 13d6t5 6
drain: 11d6t5 4
no drain.

@Jack

To clarify the situation, was Sharkboy able to exit the reception area and head down the halls before things went down, or is he caught up in all of this as well.

Also with as many people scattered in as many places, a very rough map would be appreciated to help visualize it.

Ok, I am really confused.

Initiative: 2d6+15 23

Holding action, if Angry Bitch moves to do anything, Taurus will gut her.

As soon as I get off from work I'll try to create a sketch to clarify the situation.

Here you are

Just a rough sketch, but that's the basic layout

And Anna is at Elevators?

Probably. You havn't actively moved from there.

And since the elf mage was there, already, it makes sense for her to stick to a position, where she can be of use in both directions.

Nova can handle the gurney herself. Once Rabe is secured, the problems are all on the other side of the building.

Makes a lot of sense in that case I'll leave my IC as is. We probably need to resolve the initiative order as I think that Anna and Taurus move at the same (23 init). I don't remember how we broke ties before.

There is a rule for that. ERIC.

Edge, Reaction, Intuition, Coin Flip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Doesn't matter, I am holding action to respond to the elf if she does anything. So you will go before me.

Pertrifying two guards does not count as "doing anything?" Mo critique, just in case you missed that. I like holding the action as petrify is a good solution if it works.

Kinfa what I meant, if she does anything, the petrify didn't work. 😁

Is there any reason, why we cannot just pick Sharkboy up with the car we are in?

@Gilga: It might still be relevant (not so much for us, but for the hospital), when you drop the petrify spell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think Anna would maintain it for at least an hour or so to make sure that the police had time to contain the mage somehow. Feel free to raise that IC, as currently, she is sustaining that spell.

Be aware that sustained spells can provide a link back to you.

Maybe Anna could ask bnc to send them a message to give them a heads up that you are dropping the spell in a few seconds and they should better have that crazy elf in check by then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
