I was running my game last night and a long time friend of mine had the most spectacular and stunning deaths I had everwitnessed in my 13+ years of running.
He was running a Shaman that had poored in a lot of cyberware and thus had a fairly low Magic rating despite having initiated a few times. The team he was a part of was attempting to gain access to an underground tram to a magical research facility. They were engaged with the warehouse/station security forces when the security rigger popped 3 roto drones at them. Most of the team had managed to make it to the "relative" saftly of the tram, as the security forces did not want to destroy it. My buddy, however managed to inadvertantly get himself hemmed in by the drones. He had already been smacked with a serious wound and felt if took a run at the tram they would cut him down. He also feels that the drones still pose a very real threat to the rest of the team. He decided to lob 3 force 6 Lightening Bolts on his next turn at Deadly damage. Each one would be lobbed at a different drone. Needless to say it was all physical drain. The floodgates of Mana were openned and he nuked himself like a microwave burrito. His last words were "Make it count" to the rest of the team. Very awsome. The damge jacked up the target number high enough that the last member of the team was able to make it to the tram before being mowed down by the drones. Stormcrow did not go out like a punk. :nuyen: :nuyen: :nuyen: |
