Scrap- If you had to guess, they look like they could be Yakuza, but you wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Give me a surprise roll, TN 4, no ambush mods since you saw them coming in and were sort of waiting for this. And to save time, give me your initiative roll as well. |

It's kind of like that old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, with a speeding passenger train heading west, a massive eastbound freight train, a tractor-trailer loaded with compressed natural gas on its way north, and a jumbo jet trying to make an emergency all-engines-out landing. All of which are trying to occupy the same space at the same time.

I see someone else out there loves the movie Heat, eh Grendel? Now I'm picturing Caska sort of looking like Val Kilmer. :) Not De Niro because he's a bit too old. Plus, it sounds like someone was saying it to Caska, hence, Val. |

Darker hair, but yeah, that's roughly analogous. Heat is such an essentially Shadowrun movie. I knew it when I first saw it. When you say professional criminal, that's what comes to mind.

One of these days we're going to have a street shootout and you're going to long for the times of easy cover behind cars and confined spaces where Blimps of Doom™ can't reach you. Just sayin'.

Heat is one of the quintessential SR movies. A must see for any SR player. One can learn a lot from watching it. And Grendel, I hope that street shootout comment was directed towards BC. ;)
Scrap- You are first. Modified reaction does count for surprise, and you may post your action, since you are not surprised by any of them and have initiative. Are you flipping it towards the goons near the front door (group of 3), or the west wall (group of 2)? The kitchen is straight behind you, coincidentally enough. |

Of course it was. Afterall, your character hasn't appeared in my game. Yet.

I'll flip it towards the larger group. And, is it obvious that they are aiming for us, or did the fixer just choose the wrong restaraunt? -S |

grendel- it's that 'yet' part that worries me.
Scrap- You can't tell yet, because they technically haven't gone yet, but it sure as heck looks like they're aiming for you or Cheryl. Or both. |

Sorry, just a reminder that it isn't internal headware: just an earplug cellphone with a subvocal rig. I'll try to get up a proper post later -- but paul, if you happen to beat me to it, that's fine too :)

I guess that answers that question! John's going to quickdraw a pistol, use the doorway for cover, and take down one of the yaks(?). The remaining guy from the smaller group, to eliminate the cross-fire. [ Spoiler ]

If I was that bloodthirsty, would I be packing gels in the first place?

Rules Question: How long does it take to learn a spell that you already have the spell formula for?

No problem Winter. I don't really have much to do but wait for calls, so I figured that if it was only a matter of spending the karma or using an hour or two of time, I would add on a few spells that I already have the formula for. If it takes to long then I will find something else to do with my time. :)

According to my notes, learning spells requires a Sorcery vs TN(spell force x2) test, with magic background and instruction skill as complimentary. The base time to learn a spell is Force in days, with successes dividing normally.
