Karmakaze will delay action, since she wouldn't have known a spirit was going to materialize right behind her. Drawing weapon in IC for fluff.

[Mulcarn]

@Bastard - What initiative score are you delaying your action to? Or are you only drawing your weapon for the first IP?
@Derfmancher - Where is Aeron currently? On the ride back with Titan or somewhere else?

Control Tower Mage is going to summon some backup.

@Bastard - What initiative score are you delaying your action to? Or are you only drawing your weapon for the first IP?

Delaying until another spirit arrives. My pulling weapon is part of my next action, it was just in there for fluff.

[Jack_Spade]

Harbinger switches from astral to mundane sight and tries to take out the fire spirit with a lightning bolt:
Lightning Bolt F8: 14d6t5 3 [14d6t5=2, 2, 1, 4, 6, 5, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2]
Drain resist: 11d6t5 6
No Drain
Elemental:
Defense: 10d6t5 4
But the bastard handily evades.

[Mulcarn]

The air elemental will try to engulf Karmakaze and it has superior positioning due to it being behind her while attacking.
Air Engulf: 11d6t5 0

That spirit might be a little brain damaged...

What an airhead.

Karma turns and fires two burst fires from Ingram Smartgun X:
2 BF at Air Elemental with ISX: 13d6t5 2 13d6t5 4

[Mulcarn]

You only get one attack per IP. (Unless using the Multiple Attacks action but that's a whole other can of worms) Did you want to spend your other simple action to Take Cover?

Defense: 8d6t5 3
Airhead manages to dodge.

[Gilga]

Jaws would strike the fire elemental with his killing hands. (he has 20 dice - and I am subtracting 2 for BGC).

Killing hands + striking calluses (2 BGC assumed): 18d6t5 6

For most people this is going to burn... so I'll roll damage resistance from touching the fire elemental.
Damage resist: 35d6t5 9

[Bastard]

You only get one attack per IP. . .
Did you want to spend your other simple action to Take Cover?

Sorry. Most of my experience is SR1 and SR3. I thought BF got two shots.

Edited my IC post to only one burst fire.

Yes, simple action to take cover.

[Mulcarn]

Sorry for the delay. Been swamped at work because it's the holidays. I'll have a post up later tonight.

[Mulcarn]

Lesser Fire Spirit - Defense: 10d6t5 5
Lesser Fire Spirit - Damage Resistance: 4d6t5 0

The fire elemental goes down in one hit and you soak through it's energy aura.

[Mulcarn]

The spirit of man will materialize in the air facing Harbinger.

Harbinger tries again to take out the Air Spirit:
F9
Lightning Bolt: 14d6t5 3
Drain resist: 11d6t5 4

Spirit of Air Defense: 10d6t5 5

Yeah. This is not going well.

[Mulcarn]

The air elemental will use it's Accident power on Jaws, Karmakaze and Harbinger.

Resist with Reaction + Intuition.

[Mulcarn]

[Jack_Spade]

Ini Round 2: 17+4d6 33

Resist Accident: 11d6t5 5

No Accident.

@gilga
Your melee attack will get you some burns from the elemental aura

Anyway, time to finally knock out one of those spirits: F10 Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt: 14d6t5 6
Drain resist: 11d6t5 6
No Drain


Spirit defense: 11d6t5 4
Spirit Soak: 3d6t5 0

Spirit kaput

[Gilga]

I had 9 hits in the soak roll - I think it covered that problem.

reaction + intuition: 12d6t5 5
Initiative: 12+1d6 14

[Mulcarn]

@Jack - I assume you were aiming for the air spirit, right?

Edit: Never mind I just reread the IC post.

[Mulcarn]

I went ahead and rolled for Karmakaze's initiative.
Initiative: 9+3d6 23

Harbinger 33: Lightning Bolt on Air Spirit
Karmakaze 23: Burst Fire at Man Spirit
Jaws 14: Sniper Shot at Man Spirit
Control Tower Mage 12: Commanded Fire Elemental to fight
Fire Elemental: 6: Materialize in front of Harbinger

[Bastard]

I went ahead and rolled for Karmakaze's initiative.

Sorry... didn't realize you were waiting on me.

Karma will fire another pointless burst fire at the remaining spirit, because that is all she can really do.
BF at Air Elemental with ISX: 13d6t5 3

[Mulcarn]

Lesser Man Spirit
Defense: 7d6t5 2
Damage Resistance: 10d6t5 2

The spirit soaks 2 damage and gets 3 auto-hits from Immunity to Normal Weapons.
Totaling for 4 Physical damage.

[Mulcarn]

Lesser Man Spirit will try to influence Jaws into attacking Karmakaze.
Influence: 5d6t5 4
Resist with Willpower + Logic.

[Gilga]

Resist influence: 8d6t5 4
Mind tricks did not work, but now Jaws is really pissed off.

He'll fire at the spirit with his sniper rifle.
Fire at spirit: 17d6t5 7

[Mulcarn]

Defense: 8d6t5 1
Damage Resistance: 4d6t5 0
And pop goes the spirit!

Control Tower Mage will command his brand new fire elemental to join the fight.
Because the spirit is joining the fight after it started he'll have a -10 initiative penalty. (I need to reread that section in the CRB later when I get the chance)
Astral Initiative: 8+3d6-10 10

The spirit will use a free action to 'run' next to Harbinger and a complex to materialize one meter in front of him.
Initiative: 10+2d6-10 6
