Shen's Quest IC, OMG I'm running for Emo Samurai... Options

[Ophis]

"Jesus Christ!" Hannah seems shocked at Autumn's confidence but maybe it's just her choice of examples.

[Metatron]

"It's all true. Although I only just managed to walk out the last time I fought Vampires and their minions. I did have to hold bits of my side together. I got shot with an asault cannon whilst wearing a stealth suit."

[Ophis]

hannah appears silent with shock at Autumn's claim.

[Ophis]

Autumn

[ Spoiler ]

the guide for your location is showing you've arrived

[Metatron]

"I'll show you the scars when we get in, if you like."

Autumn finds a parking place, a little away from the safehouse, and kills the engine.

"Well, we're here kids. Out you get" She moves to get out of the car herself.

[emo samurai]

Shen gets out of the car himself and takes a good long look at the new safehouse.

[Ophis]

The new safe house is posher than the last, a detached house with a front garden sat off one side of a suburban street. There's a couple of bikes parked in the drive.

[ Spoiler ]

can I get perception tests from people? Visual if you would

[Metatron]

Ophis

[ Spoiler ]

15 dice= 7 hits

[emo samurai]

Ophis

[ Spoiler ]

10 dice= 4 hits

[Ophis]

AS you step out the car. You both see a fairly familiar car turn a corner about thirty metres away, and start heading your way. A couple of guys are leaning ou of windows with guns. Pheonix's voice will come over the comm. "Ah fuck, take them down asap, I have their comms seriously jammed, they aren't spilling the beans to Kratos just yet." Hannah still in the back seat, clearly hears the car and a look of terror crosses her face.

[ Spoiler ]

yep Autumn didn't lose them as well as she thought, so initiative please.

[Metatron]

[ Spoiler ]

initiative 22, with 4 passes

[emo samurai]

[ Spoiler ]

initiative 15, 1 pass.

[Ophis]

[ Spoiler ]

right ho Autumn first them, the rigger, then shen, then the gun bunnies in the car.

[Metatron]

I will hold until the car is level with me.

[Ophis]

The car accelerates towards you. The distance is now about ten metres between the car and Autumn.

[ Spoiler ]

Autumn I presume has moved a little away from her car. Shen's turn.

[emo samurai]

Shen locks onto the people in the car's auras and decimates them with a veritable nuclear blast of mana.

[ Spoiler ]

force 9 manaball, 8 successes on the spellcasting test with 11 dice, 7 successes on the drain resistance test against 6 drain. My dice rock.

[Metatron]

[ Spoiler ]

That would be a yes

[Ophis]

The manaball detonates around the car, blood spurts form the ears of the gunman hanging out of the rear drivers side window and he collapses hanging comatose out of the car. A wall of mana from somewhere protects the gunman hanging out of the front passenger side window and the spell simply washes over him. He grins as he starts to bring his gun up.

[ Spoiler ]

your dice do indeed rock, but mine would appear to paper. The guy in the back only failed to resist by 1!

[Metatron]

Autumn will now attempt the insane...

She will take a running jump to flying kick through the car's windshield on the drivers' side, and attempt to severely hurt (preferably kill) whoever is sitting in the seat.

[ Spoiler ]

unarmed combat + agility = 20 dice, edged 14 hits base damage 10P

[Ophis]

[ Spoiler ]

These are the moments that make me love Shadowrun...

Skidpan swore as his VR senses showed the elf bint charging his Westwind. "Crazy bitch!" he thinks as he tries the somhow avoid her attack, a jink to the right comes too late as Autumn's booted titanium laced foot shatters the wind shield, Skidpan has a breif moment to regret the fact he is in VR as Autumn leap carries her through the flying plexiglass and into the car. Skidpan's chest explodes from the impact, and Autumn's motion comes to a halt in a mess of rigger and drivers seat. A somewhat shocked man in a hoody decorated with runic embroidary stares at her in outright terror. The gunman next to her swears and shoots at her twice at point blank range.

[ Spoiler ]

Autumn first soak 6P from going thru the car, with only half impact. Then dodge two shots the first at -2 (your prone) and the second at -3(still prone, second attack on you). First shot 6 hits doing 13P -1AP second 7 hits doing 14P

[Metatron]

[ Spoiler ]

1st soak 21 dice, 9 hits

1st dodge 7 dice, 2 hits...1st soak 27 dice, edged (reroll failures(which is pretty much all i ever do with edge in this circumstance))14 hits

2nd dodge 6 dice, 3 hits...2nd soak 27 dice, edged 12 hits.

That should pretty much do it!

[Ophis]

[ Spoiler ]

Damn i was hoping for a box or two... Now to see if the mage does anything useful. Emo I presume Shen has spell defence up on him and Autumn. Since the mirrored windshield is gone you can just see her...

Jay Dee, realised he was in trouble, Kratos hadn't breifed them about this woman, he had vauge memories of some crazed stories about an indestructable elf from back when he started, but surely these where only stories. He stoped concentrating on the Manball he had wanted to cast and focused his attention on this crazy bitch. He let fly a manabolt as big as he could make it while chanting the stacatto rhymes that Hermes Trismegestris taught him.

[ Spoiler ]

Okay here goes Manbolt 12!! 4 hits, after an edge reroll, oh shit... Shen roll Counterspelling, Autumn roll Willpower, at least if this affects she's dropping. His drain 5 hits so he takes 1P

[Metatron]

[ Spoiler ]

willpower + edge = 13 dice, 6 hits

Just waitin on emo ;) ...damn this is wierd being in a forum game when the ref is in the same house...

[emo samurai]

[ Spoiler ]

Shen gets 5 hits with edge reroll on his counterspelling.

[Ophis]

The spell fails to penetrate the wall of spell defence Shen throws in it's way.

[ Spoiler ]

Well I think a bonus edge for style has to go to Autumn, and Emo can get the unnessecary one he threw on spell def there back as well, having a team mate pulling off that shit without a scratch will boost anyone's confidence...

Pheonix will mutter about charmed lives over the commlines and then say, "For safties sake I'll control that car. Glad to see you still know how to have a good time Autumn."

[ Spoiler ]

okay thats the first pass over, Autumn is acting first. I'm off to cry in a corner for the badguys. Ah well Autumn always has been fucking nails...
