Into the Chaos (OOC) Options

[Mulcarn]

@Kuirem - For narrative purposes I thought it'd be fitting to recount the events leading up to this very moment. Also, it's a huge helper for OOC purposes because you aren't gonna know what everyone is fighting and arguing about or the why of it all for that matter. A long detailed post was the first/biggest step in remedying this problem.

[Kuirem]

I still think I should be able to Matrix Perception on a Commlink that's recently contacted us, I don't see anything in the rules against that and it makes sense (as much as anything make sense in SR5 Matrix anyway). But well I shall line up on Gilga judgment.

[Imladir]

While I agree it would make sense (and my hacker would love that...), the problem is that it's far too powerful if you can do that: what's to prevent you then to just contact someone you're looking for, and follow the trail?

[Ennui]

Hey guys It's me Ennui. Look I know It's been a while I'm terribly sorry I left you guys hanging but I ended up getting very sick and I've spent some times in the hospital having a double mastectomy and some chemo therapy, I'm on some pretty heavy duty painkillers so please forgive any rambling or typos. I'm sorry I missed out on your games and I'd like to rejoin if at all possible. The doctor says I'm in remission so as long as I keep up with my rehab it shouldn't cause any further probably. ON the bright side I receieved my fist piece of cybernetics. My insurance covered 70% of my boob job.

What do ya say, can Kernal strap on her deck and make some movies with ya?

[Imladir]

Ooch, sorry to hear that. Get well.
Pretty sure there'd be no problems for you to come back in any of your games.

[Gilga]

First, I hope you get well and feel better!
I will come up with something soon. I left her fate vogue on purpose.

[Gilga]

you will get -3 dice due to concealment (low light vision is enough to negate the night penalty). You need one hit to spot a pixie flying your ways and 2 hits to spot the second one.

[Imladir]

Uh, answered before I saw that. The -3 removes a success, so that leaves me at 2.
I've edited my answer.

[Kuirem]

Nice to have you back. Does this game have some kind of curse where people kept being hit by disease and natural disasters IRL?

[Gilga]

Finestra and Nyx get a surprise round. the vampires are surprised because they did not expect to see people in that wood. They are entirely focused on their pixie hunt.

Fire on vampire: 11d6t5 3
Damage is 8+3 = 11
Damage resist: 10d6t5 2
Vampire takes 9 damage. (still kicking.)

[Imladir]

Nyx activates her Attribute Boost (Body)
Attribute boost (Body): 7d6t5 5 so she's up to 9.

Next come her draconic powers (those not requiring an action anyway), starting with the +2 Body (so now 11).
Activating Body +2 (Drain 4P): 14d6t5 5
So no drain, and with her willpower of 5, she won't need to roll to resist drain from the other powers (right now, nothing active: thermo vision, hardened armour, and the strength +2 and charisma +1. Not that the last one is really required, but given the rest it seems likely that she appears more impressive).

Initiative: 1d6+7 13

[Gilga]

Okay:
Intiative: 2#8+2d6 15 15
Intiative: 10+1d6 11

Surprise round is over, we start regular combat.

1. Vampire 1: 15 - attacking Nyx.
2. Nyx 13 - (Need an action)
2. Vampire 2: 12 (the one wounded by Finestra) attacking Finestra
3. Finestra: 11


Resolving:
1. Vampire Attack Nyx: Unarmed attack +Running: 13d6t5 4. Damage is: 9 stun + net hits.
Nyx has 7 armor from her clothes (all the clothes were armored for obvious reasons.)

2. Vampire attacks Finestra: Unarmed attack +Running: 10d6t5 0

3. Finestra shooting again: Shoot vampire: 11d6t5 1
vampire dodge: 5d6t5 3

[Imladir]

Nyx goes full defence, so init takes -10
Full Defence: 15d6t5 7

As for her action, it'll be Compulsion (defended by Willpower + Logic).
Compulsion: 13d6t5 5

[Gilga]

Vampire cannot resist. Feedsvon Fellow Finestra fires on second one 4 damage. And then it flees in terror.

[Imladir]

Damn, what will I do with my pet vampire now...

[Gilga]

Is it a long-term power?

[Imladir]

Nah, Sustained. But releasing a pissed off vampire seems like a bad idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[Gilga]

Okay, I wasn't next to the book. I will let you re-establish control over it if you wish to simply kill it (without rolling dice).

[Imladir]

Nah, doesn't matter, it's good enough as it is. Having him flee is a good enough result as far as Nyx is concerned.

[Gilga]

@Jack I will require some explosives roll to rigg a bomb.

[Jack_Spade]

No bombs - bundles. Just a bunch of flashbangs bound together with tape.
Or do you mean the Molotov cocktails?

Demolitions: 4d6t5 2[4d6t5=2, 3, 5, 5]

[Kuirem]

@Gilga I was wondering about that but your NPC seems to really underestimate Ant spirits, even those specialised in bug exterminations. Do you play a nerfed down version compared to the books? Because I almost lost some of my PC in a game I made thanks to their nasty acid damage.

Just asking for myself because either way Wheely won't know much about them.

[Gilga]

I made them up - they have no advantage over regular people. Unless you consider being telepathically linked an advantage.

[Mulcarn]

Page 95 of Street Grimoire will give some more indepth details on Ant Spirits. In case anyone needs a quick page reference.

[Jack_Spade]

Jupp,
those are nasty fuckers.
