Norgal was now rough housing with the dog. Grabbing it's muzzle, and rolling around on the ground with it. That dwarf was just not right in the head. He was laughing and pinning the dog down, letting it know who was boss.


Awesome, a big attack dog and a dwarven berserker rough housing in a pool of blood.

Pusher drew out a patch and applied it, letting the stimulants soak into his bloodstream as he knelt down next to the man and rested one hand on his head. He closed his eyes and focused on picking up the last of his thoughts before they drained out of his body. The pain-killers helped block out the headache he had from his previous attempt, but he was still having a hard time digging into the fading mind.

[ Spoiler ]

Klink mentioned the guy was still alive in PM, so I am moving forward with that assumption.

Using one rating 6 stim patch, so I can ignore the wound modifiers
Then casting Mind Probe on the man
Since he's unconscious Pusher will need 3 hits to find anything useful, and probably no more than that.
I'll have him cast at force 3, to reduce drain, since the stim patch will add another stun in a while
Spellcasting 5 + Magic 5 = 10 dice
10d6.hits(5) = 1 hit
Drain is 3S, resisted with 11 dice
11d6.hits(5) = 3 hits, so no drain

1 hit will probably be resisted, and even if it isn't, it would only get conscious surface thoughts (which are nothing if he's unconscious).

If he doesn't bleed out in that 1 round, I'll try again
Multiple mind probes get a -2 penalty for each previous attempt, so I'll only try once more
Spellcasting 5 + Magic 5 = 10 dice
8d6.hits(5) = 5 hits (but can only get 3 hits since it was at force 3)
Drain is 3S, resisted with 11 dice
11d6.hits(5) = 4 hits

So, if there is time (6 seconds rather than 3), the ganger needs to resist (willpower + counterspelling) and if Pusher has 3 net hits afterwards (which is only possible if the ganger gets 0 hits... I was an idiot for picking force 3) then he can get the answer to one question a round for as long as he sustains the spell... which will also be limited to when the guy bleeds out (probably his body in combat turns, minus the two rounds it took his spell to stick)

The Marquis

PAN = Hidden | Fake SIN = Alphonse Francois

Marquis marvels at the lethality and sheer blood-lust of his boys and girl, taking in the ferrous scent of blood that's pooling on the pavement, he notices that one of the ganger's might still be alive. As Pusher approaches the mutt and places a hand on his head, Marquis gracefully moves towards him as well, avoiding getting his clothes or shoes covered in blood.

He applies a tourniquet on the man's stump using his skills in First Aid to stabilize him...

[ Spoiler ]

Knowledge DocWagon procedures first to help in diagnosis of "patient":

DocWagon Procedures 3 + Logic 3 = 6 dice ==> 6d6.hits(5) → [4,3,5,3,2,3] = (1)

Not sure if you allow hits on Knowledge Skills to add to Active Skill dice rolls; for now assuming 'YES' and have added 1 die, remove from end of Dice Roll if you do not agree with this.

First Aid 3 + Logic 3 + Medkit 6 + DocWagon Proc 1 = 13 dice
13d6.hits(5) → [5,6,2,6,4,2,3,1,1,2,6,3,2] = (4)

So hopefully he is stabilized and maybe cured a little.

"This dogbreath is mine. After you dig into his mind it's my turn...", he pulls out a thick dog collar with a synthleather leash and clasps it around the ganger's throat.

PAN = Hidden | No SIN

Post fight everything is hyer-real, etched in relief. The magically fueled adrenaline still rides in Kid's system and it leaves everything to move at a glacial pace until it subsides. As everyone goes about their business, he has two priorities. The first is to move across the street and check the two downed Dog Warriors for commlinks, and if found to strip them of them and shut the devices off. Later, in a place that is more secure, he will mine them for anything useful. Careful to avoid Norgal and his new friend, but heedless of the blood on the street, Kid kneels beside the beheaded Dog Warrior and strips him of his colors. Steal a man's life and he is dead. Steal his colors and he never was truly alive. Kid throws the cut over his shoulder, and considers the scene as reality starts to filter back to normal.

`Jesus, Marquis, it's bad enough the guy got his hand cut off now you're gonna collar him?` Kid mutters something more and moves clear of him and the dwarf and dog pile. He crosses the street again to mill with the working girls a moment. He makes assurances, knowing that Princess will keep things safe with them, and ducks an attempt to ruffle his hair from one of the older girls. With a look over to Pusher and Marquis as they tend to the last living Dog Warrior he calls out. `I'm going back to the squat. Anyone needs me I'll likely be in virtual.`
