I think it is a -2 for searching together. I'll write up a response for them.

Good luck on the exam!

[banditf50]

As I take a quick study and coffee break . . . :)

Thanks BC, I'll be watching for the good luck vibes tonight.

[banditf50]

Whoo-hoo, the first exam of my grad student career is over!

Note: Dragon may be driving the car, but Juliette loaned it to us :eek:
It looks as if our bill of favors and compensation just keeps on getting longer.

[bclements]

No runner was harmed in the making of this explosion. And I was so hoping to even up the odds...

Everyone: Roll 'dem bones for initiative.

Baby needs new shoes...

[Tiredronin]

guess those bar types didn't hear Daedalus' warning : (

mwa haha... time to see if I can begin to do something!

initiative:

23... well its something

Bandit: congrats on finishing! one down... ...

[banditf50]

Thanks ronin. After adjusting for wound penalties Virgil'ls iniative is an amazing (drum roll please) . . .

Someone come tap him on the shoulder when it's all over :)

[Shadowrunner13]

Tenmou's initiative:

9 + 6 + 5 + 4 (Sweet!)

24...

[Cedric Rolfsson]

Erebus: 28

9 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 28 (snarls unhappily about not reaching 30)

[banditf50]

Damn. . . 30 would have been a full 10x greater than Virgil in his current state. I can't even visualize what it would look like to see someone reacting to a situation 10x faster than I was. Sometimes imagining the SR would just blows my mind.

[Cedric Rolfsson]

Ya, Bandit, what always gets me is trying to visualize what this kind of speed would look like to an ordinary person. Erebus, has a synaptic accelerator and boosted reflexes combined, think of the people with synaptic accelerators and move-by-wire systems. Wild huh?

[WinterRat1]

Dragon's Initiative: 22

All right dang it, is there some all purpose car insurance, with a category of 'random explosions/missile fire' available? Cause I'm getting REALLY sick of watching everything we drive get blown up. Heck, it makes me glad we don't have Daedalus's van yet. ;)

Actually Bandit, it would really be more like 3X, because remember, each 10 initiative points only counts as 1 turn, so he'd be getting 3 turns to your one, not 10 turns to your one.

[bclements]

Ok, here's the lineup, for those interested:

[ Spoiler ]

Erebus
Temmou
Daed
Dragon
Goon2
Goon1
Goon3
Virgil

Erebus is up on an almost ungodly 28, at the corner of the building that he's up against. I'll update the map and repost the link in the morning.

And really, you could have saved money on your car insurance... :grinbig:

[Cedric Rolfsson]

BC do you want me to go or am I waiting for the updated map? Let me know. Basically Erebus is going to tear ass around the building to get behind the area where they ambushed the team from. He's got his Predator with 4 gel rounds and is going to be trying for a prisoner for Dragon to play with so unless Goon 2 is still hanging around you can just post the next action for Erebus. (who is praying that Goon 2 didn't run to meet up with his buddies in the van, you know, the ones with the minigun.)

[banditf50]

Shush Cedric . . . BC is creative enough already, we don't need to be giving him any ideas :-P

[bclements]

Sorry for the lack of an updated map (switched laptops this weekend, still getting Visio and Acrobat installed on there). Erebus, you can go, starting at the corner of the building. Its an 18x20 building, though, so you'll get there 2/3 of the way through this combat turn, unless you do a Complex Action (Quickness, use a skill) to get to the back of it. Every success you roll (TN 4) increases your Quickness by 1. You'll need at least 2 successes to get there by your second initiative pass, and 7 to get there at the end of your first.

And, since no one sees fit to use their drones to help you... (free actions, by canon, are allowed by all this combat turn at any time)

Map will be up by morning, at the latest.

EDIT: To match the stated diminsions of the building.

[Tiredronin]

boo : P even if I did take a look at where the goon2 is, I can't communicate it to Erebus..

Though i guess it is my bad, I didn't explicitly state anything about Talos watching this guy... so... can I take a free action at the first possible moment to keeping an eye on goon 2 and follow Erebus?

And if it looks like he (Erebus) will be running into trouble, Daedalus will just have to have Dragon yell again.

(Thanks bc : P)

[banditf50]

Since it looks like we all may be working together for a longer period of time, it might be prudent for a uniform radio communications protocol to be established. At least everyone should get on the same frequency.

Ronin: You are the only eye we got, anything you can do will always be a lifesaver, even if it cannot be communicated in the most efficient manner.

[bclements]

Map is up

Ronin: sure, you can take an action. Swinging Talos around, you see that Goon2 is moving toward the back corner of the building.

[Tiredronin]

aite, gonna tell Dragon..

[bclements]

Cedric: you delaying Erebus's remaing actions this round?

[Cedric Rolfsson]

Yes, waiting for bad guys to come around the corner

[bclements]

Cool then. SR13, Temmou is up on 24.

[Shadowrunner13]

How close to the street can I get, if I moved at steady, yet stealthy pace?

[bclements]

Well, walking is a good option; you'll move at your Quickness meters per combat turn. The corner of the building is about 10 meters distant. If you want to move faster, then running is the option, but I want a stealth roll if you go that path.

Remember your wound mods as well (You're at +2, not counting whatever superman cyberware that's packed in there).

[Tiredronin]

oy, so I'm up on 23... and I assume that Tenmou is going to hold any sort of attack till he sees a target.. so I'll write out my action, list my intent and then see how feasable it is.

I want to fly Talos from where he is to the mouth of the alley that Goon 2 entered, hovering at about head level, and in sight of Goon 2, should he turn to look out the alley.

Then I want to lay down suppressing fire where Goon 1 and 3 are, sweeping from right to left.

Meanwhile also having Talos move in the direction AWAY from Goon 2.

Intentions:

1. though flying there may not grab goon 2's attention, im hoping an MMG going off full auto should, allowing Erebus the opportunity to play ninja.

2. The sweeping from right to left and the movement while firing is intended to make goons 1 and 3 panic and try to get away from the gunfire, and thus pushing into overlapping fields of fire from Dragon and Tenmou (who they don't know is there).

question: will this work as it stands? I figure Talos movement while firing should make him a harder target to hit, and encourage goons 1 and 3 not to follow in the same direction (thus getting the desired overlapping fields of fire).

If the suppressing fire is focused on the right side first, hopefully it will give them the hint to move? or would it make more sense in the other direction.

And I think on 24 Daedalus will tell dragon to advise Erebus to go on my mark. (timing wise is this feasable?)

Thoughts? :D

go team!
