OoC - Dairy Dash!, The Night of the Ripper Options

[tisoz]

Hopefully that catches me up to the current situation.

Is Knuckles concealed? Green Eyed Monster was concealing everybody and everything but the "bait". If you don't want concealed, just say so.

Ditto Rob, and really, everyone.

As before, would a mundane know he was concealed? I didnt see anything IC that would have indicated he was informed of his being concealed (but I may have missed it).

If he knows he's concealed, he'd be closer to the target for sure, most likely directly across the street. Let me know if I should update it.

[EDIT] Ok, changed to to reflect his current position since he'd know about the plan. Removed the smoking bit, since its useless if people cant see him.

Well, Green Eyed Monster stated this OoC.

By the way, I'll pay for the hooker with the credsticks I was letting the free spirits use.

And welcome to the new players.

"The group" is all us PCs, our spirits and drones, up to 36 in that order. Like I said before, I'll have the F6 Sylph concealing "the group" other than the bait, and providing Magical Guard to "the group". I'll have the Manitou with 7 services go with the Andersons and the Manitou with 8 services stay with our group. Their orders are to conceal "the group" if attacked, confuse any attackers of "the group" and use Guard power on "the group".

I think it was a recap of "the plan" he proposed, and people agreed to, before the Anderson twins joined. Since you agreed to the plan OoC and are caring out IC, I am assuming you know the details, which included being concealed. So, if you were across the street, Jacky took the John there kind of right in front of you. Oooooh.

Tinker gets a bio slot from where the bioware was removed, and 2 dice for healing this damage.

[Dranem]

hmm... I have the cash for that, but if I pull 500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) worth of cred out of my purse, that might cause them to up their 'protection fee'...

I'm still in position to do some troll tossing and just say take your offer and shove it.... anyone want to send a suggestion over the connection? Cause I'm actually a bit stumped.

[Xiuhaun]

Yeah, before I posted, I had an idea then realized (through reading and re-reading) I was out of position to really affect that situation.

Always down for a rival gang match (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

[Dranem]

My map-fu shows that Indiana and Dunn run parallel to each other, so which street is she on?

Offer them 100 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) or so, and put the rest on account, on account we are going to be quitting soon anyway. They think they get to earn loan shark rates on th 400 balance. If we see them again, can explain we were undercover solving their protection problem and they should be paying us. If they don't like that explanation, we get in a gang fight then.

So have Sphinx and Rob dropped out?

Is that who we are waiting on? I vote for moving the story along, if someone doesn't post for a day or two, either run their character or leave them out.

So have Sphinx and Rob dropped out?

Maybe, but I have not heard from either.

Rob last posted about agreeing to the plan. I was waiting for him to position himself, but have since tried moving the story along, however not as originally planned.

Tempting, very tempting.

Did we just jump forward a few days? "On the third night"... feeling like I missed something

Yes, jumped forward a few days of no contact with Ripper. This will help Tinker rejoin everyone and let everyone else wonder how effective this plan was.

Everyone should know "the plan" by now and that it involves everyone being concealed except the "bait", that "the bait" will be concealed if attacked, and anyone attacking "the group" will be confused.

Instead of rolling up new spirits, I'm just using the ones that are on hand and the services they have left. If that is an issue, I'll roll some new ones up.

I'm assuming Troy is rigging and that everyone had their reflexes turned on.

Tinker, I'm not sure on your healing time, but I think it was 4 days so you have one day left. You can be linked through a drone or cameras the group thought to set up in the time that passed. If you have other idea of being linked, let me know.

[BobRoberts]

Troy has been rigging to keep an eye on the situations via drone and close to shooting distances fast.

With that in mind, alert the rest of the team with a shout over comms and surge the bison into gun range at top speed.

[Dranem]

Terry will dodge the attack. Focusing on boosting my attributes if I have time.
I'll need to roll magic tests for each one, tn 2 (half my attribute) to succeed.

Carrie is reacting that I'm unaware of this guy approaching... I'm a little confused here.

I thought you were watching from the astral Plane. Adjusted Initiative, 1 Action, casting Armor. Any other confusion?

Do you want to add Spell Pool dice to either roll?

[Dranem]

seeing as I'm unarmed, my first response will be to try to get the guy off balance. I'm going to drop to a sweeping kick to get him off his feet. Aiming for his knees in case he manages to jump a low kick. Martial Arts (5)

Draw my shotgun, shoot the bike of the mage using the shotgun (5+1+4 combat pool), and actions permitting, my second shot goes for the mage who is yelling (5+1+4 combat pool).

Really dont see being able to talk my way out of this one, since (even though we didnt kill them and they aparently didnt get arrested) they were combat monsters in our previous encounter.

[Green Eyed Monst...]

If I have cover modifiers, Center vs Penalties, otherwise Center for Success and Stun Bolt the Astral Perceiving Mage (I'm figuring that is the only way he spotted Knuckles at night, under cover and F6 Concealed.) If He's not astrally active I'll command a few spirits to land on him.
Centering 6, Sorcery 6, Willpower 7, Deadly Stun, -1(-1wnd lev) Drain, use maximum spell pool for success test, remaining spell pool and power foci dice for Drain.

look around in general (not enough for simple action) to see how many of the gang showed up.

A purse snatcher, eh? I'll try to smack him as he gets by me with either a punch in the back or a kick if I need more range. IC coming up.

Ah, yes, I kind of overlooked getting that info into the IC post.
