@Volker

The -3 were the penalty for trying to silently break something (I could have made it a bonus to perception, but in the end it's not much difference beyond increasing your glitch chance)
Also I thought you'd just break the cheap frame of the window, not the window pane (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Also also, the 2 mercs aren't in the flat but outside it in the corridor. You only hear one murmuring voice (it's not singing but the voice sounds nice enough to be that of a singer)

[Gilga]

Jack Anna's spirit would not manifest it would attack astral targets. (and the right term is materialized). I rolled astral combat for it, and preferably it would charge Battery or the spirit (if he is no longer perceiving). It does not have significant meat space combat capabilities - as you mentioned earlier with the drones.

And the free action goes to spell defense (anyone she can see), including Battery/Assult. (perhaps to counter buffs?)).

Okay, understood! Window frame is okay, too, as described in an earlier post. Since I didn't know what stabile it looks, I just went for the pane in the description but if she can see that the frame is cheap, she'll just kick that one in. Preferably so, indeed, as it's softer and leaves less shards to scratch yourself on.

Okay, good to know. The murmur comes from the living room, right? Not the sleeping chamber. So I could (from all I know so far) try to sneak on it and run a bullet through his head without getting in conflict with the mercenaries, couldn't I?

[Jack_Spade]

@Volker
Yes, the main living room. And yes, you probably wouldn't get in conflict with the mercenaries.

@gilga
Sorry, I misread that.

@Squirreldude
Just for your information, Sharkboy has to make a defense test vs. 5 successes.

[SquirrelDude]

Sharkboy Defense vs the sword cyber spurs.
Dodge for -5 to initiative +6 to defense

Defense vs Battery: 18d6t5 5 Glancing Hit

[SquirrelDude]

Sharkboy initiative should be down to 2 after using the dodge interrupt action to avoid the cyber-spurs.

[Gilga]

Jack if the shieldman attack does it means that the manuver ends and they can be hit?

Also is there a way to use the fling spell to toss the granade back at them? I'll use the run gor your life otherwise... but if I can somewhat 'in your face' I much rather do that.

[Thanee]

Oops, just realized, I had this posted in the IC.


Can we kick the grenade further into the staircase, ideally having it drop down the stairs?

Bye
Thanee

[Volker]

I don't like the way you underlined the word "mercenaries" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Have any of the spirits already materialized?

[Luckace]

@Jack: is there a way to find out whether a spirit is unbound or bound (and thereby nigh impossible to banish)? Like, can I see a trace of the magician's astral signature on a bound spirit or so?

@Volker: I think up until now they all stayed astral.

@SquirrelDude
Thanks, updated the list.

@gilga and Thanee
Fling is not a spell or effect that can be used as an interrupt action - also throwing back a grenade that might (what am I saying: Is guaranteed to) be motion triggered is a pretty good way to lose a loved appendage.
Expect the grenade to go off on impact.
Also, no, Battery has not moved out of position and still does his job of covering his chummer.

@Volker
No, all spirits in the corridor are still in the astral (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

@Luckace
Sure, that can be easily ascertained by spending a simple action to assense the spirit and getting at least three hits to detect the summoner link.


Seems like the enemy spirit is up against two of your spirits:

it uses Fear and the summoner spends Edge for the Spirit to reroll:

Fear: 14d6t5 5
Fear Reroll: 9d6t5 3
Total 8

[Volker]

Your use of underlining really frightens me, dude ...
I already see my beloved decker in a hand-to-hand fight against a bound force 8 spirit inside a force 10 ward...
Oh, speaking of: How far does the ward extend? Is bnc already inside it?

It's currently the enemy spirit's turn, right?

[Jack_Spade]

@Volker
There is no way for you to know if you are within the ward, but your knowledge tells you that normally the whole flat would be warded.

And yes, at the end of my last post I posted it's action (using fear on the other spirits)

[Volker]

I guess I could make a Perception for feeling a shiver or something when I pass through the ward ... but James wouldn't.

Regardless, I have a way of knowing: We spied out the area on the astral, and the mages could see and report the shape of the ward, so I should know, I guess.

[Luckace]

That's one scary spirit!

@Jack: Would you allow a leadership-test to help my spirit overcome the fear? I dont want to force any loopholes, I just have no idea if normal social tests can be taken on spirits - but then again, they have a telepathic connection, so why not...

Resist Fear: 12d6t5 4
Fleeing for 4 combat turns

[Gilga]

Jack - I am pretty sure that Fear is a single target spell - so which spirit is targetted? From a meta gaming prespective I prefer it to be Anna's spirit so that LuckAce has someone to play in the fight.

Resist fear: 12d6t5 4- Anna's spirit would also be terrified for 4 combat rounds.

[Gilga]

Run for your life it is - toward the melee fight to stay in the game, but far enough so that Assault cannot attack without breaking formation.

[Luckace]

@Gilga: kind of you to give me a pass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but worry not - Wraith has two other other bound spirits at his disposal, just waiting to be unleashed.

So I think I'll still have someone to play. But thanks, very much appreciated.

[Jack_Spade]

@gilga

Yeah you are right, I mixed it up with paralyzing howl

Anna1 or Wraith2: 1d2 1

So it actually does hit Anna's spirit

[Thanee]

@Jack: Nova will take her chances with the grenade and thus no interrupt action.

Bye
Thanee

[Thanee]

We wait with the Toxin Resistance until the end of the combat round, right?

Bye
Thanee

[Gilga]

PS: if we toss a grenade back at them they may break formation.

[SquirrelDude]

Sharkboy is in the middle of them, please don't.
