My team needs to get through the exterior wall of a brick building - preferably quietly and quickly. What's a good way to do that in SR4?
It looks like an AV rocket is the quickets and least skill-intensive. But it is also very restricted and loud. Plastic explosives seem readily available but I'm hesitant to use it with no Demoltions skills. Is it feasible to use that stuff untrained (in game)? Isn't there some sort of thermite paste in real life that you can outline a hole with and then blow up (or burn through)? The thermite bar in the rules seems like a primitive version of that - but the stats for it don't look like they'd get though a good exterior wall. I thought maybe an earth spirit could do something (the building being brick) but nothing there. I'm not familar with spells, and am not sure if the team would be able to get hold of a spell our shamman does not already have with her - but if there is the perfect spell out there, we'll certainly try :). Anyway, there may not be any good way to do this - but I figured I would ask. |
