Background

[ Spoiler ]

Padrig Muchinsky was born to a made man from the Finnegan Crime family who died in a territorial dispute with the Vory v Zacone and the Finnegan Mafia. Since then, Padrig has had a vendetta against the Vory. It was his brother Peter who gave him the nickname 'Spiderman' because of his aversion to arachnids and the insistence that he saw spider spirits in his room. His brother would follow in their fathers footstep and he too died but at the hands of the police during a botched heist. Padrig would later test as awakened and was sponsored for magical training by Knight Errant. After training, Padrig was assigned as a support mage to a tactical response unit. He worked 5 years to pay off the debt of the corporate sponsored schooling and now that the debt is paid, he has quit. Even though he did not become a made man, deep down he never felt comfortable working for the law. It almost felt disrespectful to his dead father and brother. One of Padrig's teacher's was a Druidic Conjurer and Artificer by the name of Myrrdyn. Though he teaches at the academy three day a week, he is secretly a fixer who deals mainly with awakened runners.

PC alternate #2, if one ever exists.

[Redjack]

Had the flu last week so my post was delayed until today. I will be giving you both some Karma for the restart and will always post on Sundays, at a minimum. I'll post in more through the week if I'm able.

[Saytr]

sounds good. sorry flu sucks a lot. everyone I know has some sort of variant of it lol. glad I didn't get the vaccination.

[Redjack]

@Satyr: Val doesn't seem to have a comlink at the moment.

[Saytr]

Edited post sorry lol.

[Sengir]

Does that owl feel kinda matrix-y or is it just a case of pink elephants

[Redjack]

@Sengir

Does that owl feel kinda matrix-y or is it just a case of pink elephants

As you take a moment to focus on the owl, it is not like the pink bunnies. It appears to be of the matrix, more than drug induced.

@Satyr
WIL(3) + Wil(3) nausea check[2] [4,2,6,4,6,1] = 2 hits

[Redjack]

Val: Body(4) + Willpower(3) [6,1,6,4,6,2,5] = 4 hits

[Sengir]

Woohoo, come here little floating owl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif)

[Redjack]

I imagine this much akin to how television portrays an acid trip.

[Sengir]

...only that by the 2070s you don't need any pharmaceuticals to see floating images or have the doorknob talk to you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But yeah, I imagine he's a bit dopey after three weeks

[Sengir]

I'm obviously trying to unplug myself from all that stuff, starting with the breathing tube

Since the question will come up, a preemptive "what's there to know about is this place" roll for the St. Francis Medical Center: Area Knowledge: Seattle (4) + Intuition (5) [4,1,1,3,5,5,6,2,6] = 4 hits

[Saytr]

Val is a accomplished medic perfectly capable of killing you by just removing your breathing tube wrong lol. j/k

medic 3 logic 6 9 dp http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4782021/

9d6.hits(5) → [6,1,6,4,5,5,5,1,3] = (5)

val is also privately assessing Hardwires injuries from physical inspection. I guess he could also just check his chart which would be close by.

[Redjack]

Initiative:
- Val: [6,3,4,1,2,1,5,1,6,4] = 3 hits + 10 = 13(3)
- Hardwire: [2,1,1,6,6,4,2,5] = 3 hits + 8 = 11(1)
- NPC 1: [5,6,2,4,2,4,5,3,6] = 4 hits + 9 = 13(1)
- NPC 2: [6,4,2,3,6,3,6,3,2] = 3 hits + 9 = 12(1)

Pass #1:
- Val is up first

[Redjack]

Val: Unarmed Attack - AGL(8 ) + Default Unarmed(-1) [2,2,5,2,5,3,5] = 3 hits
Goon #1:
- Block - REA(5) + UnArmed(2) [5,6,6,5,5,3,3] = 5 hits
- Pistol Whip - AGL(4) + Clubs(2) [3,4,2,6,4,6] = 2 hits
Val
- Block - REA(6) + Unarmed(0) [6,6,5,3,6,1] = 4 hits


====
Hardwire is up.

[Saytr]

Next on purchase list unarmed combat lol

[Redjack]

Next on purchase list unarmed combat lol

I've pretty much decided that every character needs that at least at a level 1.

[Redjack]

Hardwire's dice pool is AGL(3) + Default Unarmed(-1) + Charging(+2). Roll with that?

[Sengir]

That's why my characters always have a breakable tooth with some combat drug...well, not always because in this case I forgot that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Trying to bowl over Goon #1 (who is standing in front of #2, right?): AGI (3) - defaulting (1) + Charging (2) + Edge (2) → [[6, 2],3,1,3,4,2] = (1)
I need a tooth compartment with valium...

Edit: sorry for the short delay, got a call

[Redjack]

Goon #2: Block - REA(5) + Unarmed(2) [6,1,6,5,2,4,5] = 4 hits

Val is up again.

[Saytr]

Val will be using a edge point in a attempt to barrel through the first Russian and pick up push along hardwire in a attempt to get them both out of there.
