Salted Wounds [OOC], a Deep Black Sea game Options

[Gilga]

We'll Anna thinks she's delusional about her ability to kick some ass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I am waiting for Sharkboy/Wraith to declare their actions before selecting what to do in 2nd init.

[Volker]

No need to rush. I'm motivated, too, but we all know that we won't even post once a day in the long ^^
Where is Anna flying bnc?

[SquirrelDude]

@Jack Can I get an answer about those raised platforms/objects that might be around Sharkboy?

[Gilga]

Anna wants to take bnc away from the chipheads Perhaps out through a window - or some high platform that will take them a while to get to us. (it may take like forever in combat time though). She tries to avoid using violence in front of such a large audience and on camera in what I read as a highly secured place.

You should have a PM.

In general there are no normal windows here - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...28%2C_DD_01.JPG

there is just a (glas)door leading to some stairs from the flat roof.

[Gilga]

How far is the door? Is it locked/closed or open?

[Jack_Spade]

It's at the end of the spiral above you. You can't see the door from your position, but if you move over there, you'll find out that it is locked although it is designated as a fire escape.

[SquirrelDude]

Sorry to keep folks wait, had to get some specifics laid out.

[Gilga]

Any way to break LOS from the S-K guys?

[Jack_Spade]

Sure, just land somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Gilga]

So, how long do I need to survive to land close to the door? (or at the stairs leading to the door?)
Also, is it possible to cast a backup levitation spell?

Edit - Nevermind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Sharkboy solved the problem already. I liked his direct approach!

Anna's second action is to make bnc invisible.
Invisibility F4: 11d6t5 5
drain: 11d6t5 3

The third action of the round likely to make herself invisible, so I keep it here.
Invisibility F4: 11d6t5 3
drain: 11d6t5 2
1 stun damage.

[SquirrelDude]

If that dude somehow totally wiffs the defense test, Sharkboy launches him at his friends.'

Edit: Also I forgot something, hold up, let me edit that into the post.
Edit: It's in. Forgot I'm wearing a shock weave suit.

[Gilga]

Way to go Sharkboy!

[Volker]

Wait. Did Sharkboy kill the Singerian or the security mage?

[Gilga]

Security mage the way I read it. Security came to our help and then decided to attack us and not the crowd as they saw us first. a true witchhunt!

[Jack_Spade]

Nope, Sharkboy killed the Dr. Singer School mage

The Security Mage heard a commotion and saw a someone hovering another person above ground and decided that whatever was going on, it would be best to not have someone hover around and move over the open center of the exhibition.

[SquirrelDude]

I couldn't tell you tbh. Sharkboy just went at the guy that his coworker informed him was a problem.

Edit, but Jack said it was the Dr. Singer guy, so that's neat.

[Volker]

Okay, that's a little less bad than killing an actual S-K security mage. It's still bad.

[Gilga]

Oh... wow so we still get counterspelled?

[SquirrelDude]

Blame Jack. If Sharkboy could have snuck in with a stick n shock + static shaft arrow and his bow, he might not have been hurt. As it is, Sharkboy can't really do nonlethal damage with his fists (maybe with his throws or sweeps). At least that's how Jack ruled it worked with Krestov's augmented skeleton previously.

Still though, bnc might try to kill Sharkboy at least twice before this is done.

[Volker]

Yes, they still can get dispelled, and yes, if they do, Sharkboy will have to wait until I have geeked Anna who thought that a spell resistance test and "Let me down, you maniac! I can't move or fight!" was too subtle an indication that bnc didn't want to get Levitated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Also, I agree that you can't dodge with 6 km/h.

@Jack please don't take the Jump In action as already performed. I definitely want to see how things evolve before I do that. I might just as well want to use the time to distract the dispelling security mage. Could I do a trick shot from the position I'm in to reconsider focussing on the dispelling attempt?
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I can do better when Jumped In and I'll be faster than him anyway.

Throws and sweeps work - anything less than 6 successes would also have been enough to let him live - but that was just a killing blow.

Also, the Singer Mage didn't actually do anything - neither did his two bodyguards - but they kept their position, so it was possible to sneak up on them while they were distracted.

The security mage got active only after the leviatation stunt got under way, so there would have been no time to get in position close to them.

Edit:

Damn it, you all are so fast:

@Volker:
You'd need Anna to point out the security mage, but yes, you could shoot at him once your drone breaks in. The question is, do you want to risk shooting while paniced people are running past him? Even if you intentionally miss him, I'll make a roll if you hit one of the bystanders.

Guys, this is a very, very populated area - there was a reason they didn't allow anyone with a weapon inside.

[Volker]

I'm aware of that. That's why first I tried to sneak away, then I wanted to jump down on the lower floor and run away, now I want to escape through the window without hurting anyone, but persons keep preventing me from doing anything until this turns into year bloodshed.
But yeah, I guess I won't shoot

Edit: Wasn't he the only magical opponent we had (at that point of time) ?

The Singerian didn't do anything? Was he not the one attempting to crash bnc and Anna onto the ground (something Wraith would notice)?

Edit : thought we had settled that he was the only magical opponent we had (back then)?
