Living in the Shadows: OOC, never relax... Options

[Sedna]

Oops, sorry -- I meant I need an answer from WinterRat.

[WinterRat1]

Sedna ONLY-

[ Spoiler ]

He'd recognize you as Sal, since he was astral the whole meet last time. Technically speaking, you can stop him because you have masking, but I'm assuming you WANT to be seen as Sal? In which case he would recognize you because that's who you're projecting as an image right now.

Unless you're bothering to hide it, I would personally rule that since he spent considerable time in Sal's presence while astral he could recognize her without a roll, barring active interference on your part. Sound reasonable to you?

It's a brief delving into masking and identitites, we might need to hash it out in more detail later, given your penchant for switching selves, but for now I personally think this answer suffices. Unless you have a problem with this current interpretation, I'd run with it from here.

[Sedna]

Got it, thanks! paul -- writing now. (Sorry about that.)

[paul_HArkonen]

it's no problem, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't loosing posts or something.

[Bastard]

Do I know if its an enemy, or the guy that was down in the middle?

Perception (if needed) 6

[ Spoiler ]

5,5,,4,2,1,1

[Slipshade]

WinterRat1 -

[ Spoiler ]

Perception Test: 16, 07, 03, 03, 02

Aura Reading: 16, 08, 04, 03

I am going to make my summoning roll if you don't mind. It should be happening soon so I thought I would get the rolls out of the way.

Summoning Force 6 City Spirit

Conjuring: 10, 07, 05, 02, 01

2 Successes = 2 Services

Drain: 3M(stun)

Charisma + Gargoyle Modifier: 07, 07, 05, 05, 04, 03, 03, 01, 01

No Drain taken.

Did I do all of that correctly?

[WinterRat1]

Slip- On projecting, you see the two guards sitting in the front lobby eating donuts, drinking coffee, watching TV, and generally in a pretty nonchalant state of mind. Nothing else is out of the ordinary or different from your first pass through.

For your drain test, the drain TN for conjuring is equal to the FORCE of the Spirit, so in this case, the TN would be 6 and you would only have 2 successes, for an L Stun. You may use karma pool if you wish, or else you have an L stun.

Sedna, Paul- For the time being, treat Tin Star as an NPC until we hear otherwise regarding Digital's return.

Scrap- Regarding vehicle ID, your van isn't exactly high tech. Assume between you and Iris, you can remove the plates, transponder, etc.

[paul_HArkonen]

the force of the spirit can only be 3 (half my magic rating).

And unless I miss read it should be force + hours of existence in this case 2.

Therefore, unless I missed something (and I may have) it would be TN 5.

Either way if I had a light stun it's been over an hour of non-strenous activity (meditation and driving) since so I think the stun would be gone... (again, my memory of rules is likely faulty so correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh and Body Test to heal the stun if it exists: 07 05 05 02

I can accept either one, but whichever it was the stun should be gone by the meet.

[WinterRat1]

Paul I was referring to Slipshade, your watcher summoning was fine, and yeah you would be fine by the meet.

[WinterRat1]

Slip, Scrap- Anything else you guys want to do to prepare? I'll write up the post bringing you guys to the clinic entrance as soon as you're ready. In the mean time, if you guys could post some stealth rolls please?

I'm assuming you're sneaking, hence the stealth, and yes, I will factor in the spirit. Just saving time so I can write up the post as soon as you both are ready.

[Scrapheap]

I'm all set.

[ Spoiler ]

Stealth -3
14 05 04

Edit: Actually, I forgot one thing that I've edited my IC post to reflect. Streetnames.

[paul_HArkonen]

ah, whoops, I saw summoning drain and my brain kinda farted, sorry about that.

[Bastard]

Again two burst fires at target

[ Spoiler ]

Right hand: 11,8,5,4,3,1
Left hand: 5,5,3,2,2,2

[grendel]

Short range, base to hit target number: 4
Partial Cover: +2
Target's Cover: +4
Visibility (light smoke): +4
Second Weapon: +2
Final to hit target number: 16

Both bursts go wide of their target. Red Target Two takes his held action, firing an air-timed minigrenade from his underbarrel launcher.

Short range, base to hit target number: 4
Partial Cover: +2
Target's Cover: +4
Visibility (light smoke with cybernetic low-light): +4
Smartlink II w/ Grenade Link: -1
Final to hit target number: 13
Launch weapons (5) + Combat pool (2): 15, 10, 5, 4, 4, 2, 1
Scatter (direction + distance): 5 + 4 (-4 for one success, no scatter)

Marquis is rocked by the 15M (stun) concussion grenade detonating just behind his position.

[Shadow]

That should be a mastercard comercial.

Being pwned by a air timed grenade? Priceless.

[Bastard]

This guy is toast on my next turn :D

15M soak

[ Spoiler ]

Armor (Impact) 4
3 Jacket
1 Form-Fitting

11 TN

4 Body
4 Combat Pool

11,11,8,5,3,2,2,2

If I can I use my Karma Pool to reroll failures

[grendel]

When layering armor, you halve the lower value before adding it. In this case, the form fitting impact halves to .5, which rounds to 0. No benefit. You're looking for 12s to soak. Go ahead and reroll with karma.

[bclements]

grendel: Tony's up after Marq still, right? (barring any more held actions, of course)

[grendel]

That's correct.

[Bastard]

12S not 12M? I thought it did 15M to start, Im not up on the rules, thats why I post all my numbers, cause they will be wrong here and there. I thought that the 1 impact armor didnt round down cause it was already at 1, but I guess I am wrong. Sorry.

I will reroll when I get home in about 3 hours. Do I need one success or two to drop it down? And has my Karma pool refreshed (do I have 1 or 2 to spend)?

[grendel]

Sorry, I meant 12s as in the plural of 12. The damage code is 12M, and you need two successes to stage it down to L. Your karma pool has not refreshed.

[Bastard]

Reroll

[ Spoiler ]

5,5,4,3,2,2,1,1

dammit

[grendel]

Moderate stun. Drops you two in the intiative count to four on the second pass. Tony is up.

[WinterRat1]

Slip- Just letting you know I'm waiting on your stealth roll for you and Scrap's storyline.

Paul, Sedna- Keep chatting until you're ready for me to fast forward to the meet, and continue playing Tin Star as an NPC for the time being.

[Bastard]

lousy karma pool :S
