thats just what i'm seeing in my head trying best to get a layout without any maps

(jacky and 4 cops on this side)

[FrostyNSO]

Qill, I don't have the roll anymore because I got relieved and had to switch computers (I emailed the post I was working on to myself, but forget to send the roll too)...long story short, the NSRCG didn't smile and you only got 2 successes against TN3 for bopping that cop. He got no defense dice since you hit him at unawares, and didn't resist anything so took a serious.

As to layout: I've got this now:

_________________________________________________________________

edit: Exciting enough for you yet, Mister Juan?

[Mister Juan]

getting there getting there ;)
Now, lets take the gloves off and get that lead flying in tight quarters :P
You'll tell us when to roll init? (so we know when the combat pool refrehses

[FrostyNSO]

I would roll initiative when you next post. That goes for everyone. I'll let you know when to roll it again, but it should be pretty evident.

[Mister Juan]

Ludi will use the doorway as partial cover and lay down some fire on the closest cop. One free action to talk to Hank, two simple to shoot twice at the first blue boy in her line. If by some miracle the 1st shot gets the guy down, I guess she'll send the second one for his partner. I guessed the distance at medium (since 5 meter would seem way too close)

Initiative

[ Spoiler ]

05 02 + 04 = 11

Shot #1

[ Spoiler ]

Colt Manhunter, regular ammo: 9M

Original TN (distance = medium) 5
Smartlink II = -2
Modified TN = 3
Roll : 05 04 04 03 02
# of successes : 4
Staged up damage: 9F

Shots left in clip: 15

Shot #2

[ Spoiler ]

Colt Manhunter, regular ammo: 9M

Original TN (distance = medium) 5
Smartlink II = -2
Recoil = +1
Modified TN = 4
Roll : 09 04 01 01 01
# of successes : 2
Staged up damage: 9S

Shots left in clip: 14

I hope they're wearing some armor cause....

[FrostyNSO]

now we have to wait for Q.

[Mister Juan]

Alright; I'll be here... AGONIZING

:rotfl:

[Qillin]

can you # the cops please

ok can jacky run over the injured cop, well stepping on him? jacky does wiegh like 350 or something so with a good step i think he could hurt him alittle.


either way. Jacky will do whats in ic.

[FrostyNSO]

feel free to express more thouroughly what you're doing here...so I don't have to guess and write something you didn't intend.

Please include any dice rolls that you think might be relevant and I'll use what I need.

[Qillin]

ok Jacky is using Killing Hands STR(Serious) while tackling the cop

[ Spoiler ]

i'm sure you already rolled init. for Jacky
so Athletics of 3 to jump at the cop i'll use 2 combat pool for the jump
then Brawling 4 +2 combat pool with killing hands to hurt the cop not sure how the tackle thing work
so lets go from there

[Mister Juan]

I take it he hits?

[FrostyNSO]

Jacky D

[ Spoiler ]

jacky got a 12 on his init when i rolled it back there BTW.

stepping on cop inflicts BodM-1/2impact, after resist attempt ends up giving him M damage

athletics TN=4

08 02 02
#D:3 TN:4 H#:8 S:1

(good enough for what you're doing)

brawling TN3-1(reach)+1 for the leap(?) =4

05 04 04 04 03 02
#D:6 TN:4 H#:5 S:4

Cop3 tries to dodge (not ranged combat?...not really melee? I'm gonna roll from the seat of my pants, so lets roll with it) TN4+1 (Jacky's huge)=5

Cop3 gets 2 successes.
05 05 04 04 02 02
#D:6 TN:5 H#:5 S:2

Resists Jacky's BodS staged up to D-impact, stages it down to S
15 11 05 04 04
#D:5 TN:7 H#:15 S:2

Cop3 pinned under Jacky D...both prone

Cop4 keeps distance, shouts for Jacky D to surrender.

Ludi

[ Spoiler ]

cop2 takes a hit and attempts to stage down damage TN9-b4 body5+5combatpool
15 11 05 04 04

Cop1 takes aim with the SMG and fires:

*Sorry, Quick/Dirty picture, sorry if it sucks.

[FrostyNSO]

whoops, lemme fix that pic

Goddamnit...I'm just going to use Paintbrush if I have to do this again. That's as good as it's getting.

[Mister Juan]

Well, since its way too cramped up to dodge, and since Ludi is crouched, I'm going to roll body directly

This is where I curse that Ludi only has her FFA on.... oh well.
4 balistic is better than nothing.
Since you asked me to roll initiative again, I take it combat pool has refreshed.

Body + 6 combat pool (yep, thats all of it)

[ Spoiler ]

10 09 07 05 05 05 03 01 01 01 01

Tell me what kind of wound Ludi's taking (probably severe :S) and I'll post IC.

[FrostyNSO]

Yeah it's serious. It was 10S burst fire (started at 7M from and Hk227), staged up to Deadly, then staged down by you to Serious again.

[ Spoiler ]

By our house rules it would've been 9S though because we don't count the first round for the power increase on burst fire. At first I was like wow! She's fine!
But then I realized my error. Sorry to tease you, I just thought it was interesting.

[Mister Juan]

At least, it wasn't deadly ;)
Now, this is getting VERY interesting.

[Mister Juan]

Ok, crucial shot.
No combat pool left, so one karma dice will go in, and the other one will be burnt to get one succes in (if I score one success at least :S)

Shot #1

[ Spoiler ]

Colt Manhunter, regular ammo: 9M

Original TN (distance = medium) 5
Aimed Shot = -1
Smartlink II = -2
Wound modifier (Severe) = +3
Modified TN = 5

Roll : 15 05 03 03 02 02
Burnt Karma pool dice : +1 success

One point of good karma spent to reroll the two 02
roll: 09 02

# of successes : 4
Staged up damage: 9F

Shots left in clip: 13

Well.... I'll start thinking about a new character ;)

[FrostyNSO]

ummmm...so why did we come here?

I never ever thought we'd be doing all this. As I was reading your post where you went ahead and set up the meet I was like "Noooooooo!"

But really, I don't like killing characters, especially the ones I like. But I also don't like to bend reality too much to bail them out...damn I wanna finish this run.'

edit: Hell, I hope you guys pull through so I don't feel bad like I've wasted Slacker and Shadow's time.

We need Q to post now...he's in not too great a spot either...but possibly survivable.

[Shadow]

Ah man I hope not. I am really digging the mafia vibe I have on this guy.

If the mains do get whacked Frosty you got to run another game, with all the same players. And let me and worm play our characters :) So far you seem to be an awesome GM.

[Slacker]

I have to agree with Shadow. So far you have proved to be a great GM and it would be a shame to have to stop this game. I've enjoyed what's happened so far, so its not a total loss. But I would still like to be able to see this thing through.

[Mister Juan]

If Ludi does pull tru, I swear that she's going on a massive killing spreed. In the past week, she's been abandonned or double crossed by 3 people... she's getting pissed ;)

[Mister Juan]

Oh yea; we came here because Ludi's main contact on whole thing, the guy who could break the case wide open, told him he had some crucial information for her. So, even if it was pretty obvious something fishy was going on, if there was even the most remote of odds that he'd play ball, Ludi had to go.

And when is that damn freaking train starting? ;)

[FrostyNSO]

Well hopefully Qillin shows up today...

Hmmm, who here sees a jailbreak run at Hollywood Correctional in the future? 8) J/K

[Mister Juan]

If Ludi does go down.... I'm starting to think I'll transform Alec into a PC. Could be a very cool thing :D

I'd rather keep Ludi around (I'm starting to like her I thin :P) but I'm just opening myself to new avenues.
