Scratch is still around...

[Saint Sithney]

I'm here, and I know BlackHat's still about as well.

[Digital Heroin]

Alrighty, it warms the cockles of my heart that y'all are still onboard, seriously. I think part of my absence was anxiety-based... I get busy, I miss updating, I feel an ass, and don't post that day and a bad cycle starts. That's something I am working to resolve. I just got in from a long travel day, so I'm going to crash, but tomorrow, aside from work prep, is being dedicated to reviewing my game notes, and a resuming of the game will follow.

[Saint Sithney]

If you haven't PMed the non-responders yet, I know a lot of them are still around.
Maybe not paying as close attention, but not out of reach.

[BlackHat]

I'm here, and I know BlackHat's still about as well.

Yeah, let me review the IC (to refresh myself on the situation) and dig up Grimm's character sheet today, and I'll post something tonight.

[Digital Heroin]

Ok, caught up on review. Expect a post in the next few hours, depending on workload (I love an office where they don't give a shit if I surf). I'll also be sending out PMs to those who haven't come back yet, to see how they stand. As they say at sea, shit is about to get real. Ok, only douchebags say that at sea, and usually when it's an exercise, and shit is definitely not real.

[Digital Heroin]

There we are, the scene has been updated, and action continues. I'll call for initiative from everyone now, but it won't be in effect right away. Feel free to post in any order until I signal here full on combat has officially started.

Also, Karma is being tallied up, but I'm just figuring out what level of progression to go with for the game. It'll be awarded next time the majority of people get back to the Dive, and usually that will be the time when such thing happen.

Anyone have any concerns at this point? Questions? Comments? Death threats?

[kanislatrans]

inish roll.. (6d6.hits(5)=3)

edited; oops, I am way out of practice...Initiative 9- 1pass...(actually had to look innish up in the book. thats what i get for 6 months of pathfinder and deadlands..*sheepish grin*

[Red-ROM]

Micky's initiative roll:

Reaction 3 (+1 Nova coke in cigarette) + Intuition 3 : [6,6,5,2,3,5,5] = (5)
: Initiative 12, 1 ip

[Saint Sithney]

Can I activate my autoinjector to shoot some Cram once I see the shot, but before Initiative comes up? Ought to be a free action.

Rea 4 +4 Ini = 8d6.hits(5) → [1,4,2,2,4,5,6,3] = (2)
So moves on 10 1IP. 11 2IP with the Cram.


Should I roll perception to try and spot the shooter?

[Aria]

Am I right thinking that the boy with the uzi is on our turf or did we move on to neutral territory?!? Oh, and having read the IC thread more carefully, is Scratch within LOS of the sniper and can she see backup approaching?

[BlackHat]

Grim's initiative = 4d6.hits(5) = 1 hit, so 5. (With 2 IPs
He's probably in cold-sim now, but if shit hits the fan, he may spend some actions switching to hot-sim

[Digital Heroin]

Saint: Until one of the Dozen actively engages the sniper, or Scratch engages the lookout, we're still out of initiative, so feel free to dose up.

Aria: I try to stick to the details a character would be able to observe themselves in my posting. Scratch can't directly see the sniper, as that face of the building is around the corner from where she is at. Someone else providing video would be the only way for her to see them, but it wouldn't be LOS of course.

[kanislatrans]

just made my post. I will be going for a first aid check and a trauma pactch check if I have time to get there befort initiative begins. wont post it in case there is not enough time. if there is I can add it later. will drop the 1st aid check here anyhoo.



first-aid:2(+2 combat wounds)+logic 3=7dice= (7d6.hits(5)=3)

[BlackHat]

If you're using one of grim's medkits, you can add it's rating to you dice pool.

[BlackHat]

Couldn't keep track of who took some, but I'll go back and check at some point to make sure my gear list is up to date.

[kanislatrans]

If you're using one of grim's medkits, you can add it's rating to you dice pool.

I went back and re- read my earlier posts before rolling and since Matto had been on the roof and I didn't mention picking one up, I didn't add one.*grin* It is one of my pet peeves when players in my games pull crap out of thin air. even so, I figured with his skills and background he'd carry a small collection of stuff that would help in a pinch. I went with basically what I carry in my hunting kit; tube of antibiotic, tampons, maxi pads, a few flexible bandages, tweezers, single edge razor blade,and an ace bandage.

[kanislatrans]

double post.sorry

[Saint Sithney]

On the down side, there's a healing/modifiers table on p253, and it's pretty much all penalties.
Really, all you need to worry about for now is stabilization and getting him moved.
More accurately, all you need to worry about for now is that there is a sniper shooting at your position!

Might be a good move to make an infiltration check to avoid getting shot.
Then again, neon green mohawk.

[kanislatrans]

ok, that makes sense,SS.

infiltration check.. Infiltration 2 + agility3(5d6.hits(5)=1)

and Matto's 'hawk is black, cyber-eyes are neon green, so shouldn't be a prob on the infiltration check.

[BlackHat]

If someone's engaging, I assuem we're in initiative order now? Grim will probably move his drone to the wounded troll, and attend to him personally, but I think this will take multiple combat turns (1 for each box of damage Grim is attempting to heal). How damaged is the troll?
IN any case, Grim's turn doesn't come up until late in the round, and he'll likely be busy for the whole combat (and can't help much with a sniper, anyway).

[Digital Heroin]

Aye, now that we've had shots fired the other direction we will be switching to initiative. Don't worry intrepid travellers, I'm hoping to keep this relatively streamlined. I'll post up the rival gangers' initiative as soon as I get a moment at home, as well as in the tie in 'what the oh shit' from their perspective.

[Saint Sithney]

So who is still incommunicado?

Branmac?
Combat Mage?

Sucks to lose all our magical backup, but 7/9 isn't bad for a week back after 6 months off.

[Digital Heroin]

Aye, it does suck to lose the mojo, but I'm not counting anyone out yet. Lord knows I go absent, I can't fault anyone else for it. Anyone who goes missing for a while will have their character wake up in the Dive with a wicked hangover.


I'm considering Cosimo's first shot as a surprise, so going into Initiative we've got

Mickey (12)
Cosimo (11)
Matto (9)
Gangers (7)
Grim (5)

Let's start up posting from there. I'll elaborate IC on the damage to the ganger Cosimo shot, but for the moment assume he has dropped out of sight. Lucky would have LOS on the SUV from the balcony, and on Alex, but not the ganger beside it.

Anyone yet to roll initiative, roll it up now and post when appropriate. If you roll higher than the spot we're at, post in right away.

[Propaganda]

It's now been so long that I've pretty much completely blanked on the Shadowrun rules, so, um...I may need some help with that when it comes time for me to use them. Just thought I'd mention it.
