For those of you who didn't read my last post, I'm a new GM to Shadowrun. I'm extending the On the Run module since my players screwed up securing the disk. My team is going to be sneaking into a corporate building to steal the disk back. They face opposition from a shaman (amoung others) who I want to use spirits to guard the building. The problem is that I've been looking through the rules and I can't find any way to sneak past a spirit who's watching the door. Is there any way for my players to infiltrate a building without fighting, when a spirit is on guard duty?
