Burst fire mode. Ludi is second again in the order, Vadim will go first, three passes during this turn.

Well, I guess her actions will depend on how the situation evolves from here.

Vadim has moved past the second floor landing and is firing up the stairs. That's about all Ludi can tell right now unless she moves after him.

In that case, she's going to put some fire toward the 6th floor landing (if there's still someone).

Does the AK have any RC beside the stock? (and does that even count?)

To save on time and get this going forward, if there is someone still on the 6th floor landing, this is what Ludi will do.

Simple Action 1: Fire one Wide Burst from Good Cover (-2 dice pool): http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4059751/ 6,3,1,2,2,6,3: 2 hits
Simple Action 2: Held until Initiative 1, IP 1, in case someone comes through the door

Free Action to ask "Got him?" ?

I really hope Vadim makes it. He's by far my favorite NPC

Are we still "in combat"? I'm mainly asking because I was going to post and realized maybe I couldn't.

Basically, Ludi thinks that now would be a good time to cut things short and get the hell out.
If we ARE still in combat, she'll tell Vadim to take the chemist and make a run for the car while she provides cover. She'll then proceed to go full auto and use 20 rounds for actual suppressive fire (I've ALWAYS wanted to do this in SR)

Yes, we're still in combat timing.

You can go ahead and post Ludi's action. Keep in mind that suppressive fire is a complex action, so you can only use ten rounds from the AK-98. If you had a supermachinegun or minigun class weapon, you could use more.

How long do you reckon the cab + car journey's going to take? I expect I might be late back, really should have remembered to bring things with me.

Probably around 40 minutes if Josslyn pushes it on the way back to Danny's.

I would've sworn that in SR4 they had bumped it up to 20.

Anyways! I'll probably write something up tomorrow (and change my mind 20 times before I actually do it )

You're right, it is twenty rounds for suppressive fire. Just had to recheck.

I know that mechanically speaking, "covering fire" doesn't really exist in SR4. I mean, sure, there's the suppressive fire thing, but rereading the rules, it seems horrible, because unless you're going first in combat, it serves almost no purpose, since it only lasts until your next action phase. At least, that's how I'm reading it. If you interpet the rules different, do chime in All Ludi wants is to provide covering fire while Vadim retreats with the chemist.

So, unless you tell me that I've misread the rules, Ludi will tell Vadim to grab the chemist and make it for the car. Then, hold her action until Vadim makes a move. As soon as he starts moving, she'll swing out of cover and either fire at whomever she sees (wide burst again), or hold her action until someone pops out.

Sounds good. Post away.

*pokes everyone*

Did everyone take the holiday weekend off and not tell me? Sad Vegas is sad. Or bored. Stuck in town working all weekend.

Busy walking the dog and cooking BBQ back to normal tuesday

You onna get any time off ?

Sorry, I was in DC for the weekend. I thought I would have time for a post or two but it turns out we were busier than expected. My apologies for not posting an absence notice.

OMG, you're so fired

But keeping with the tradition of posting absiences... I have 12 shoots/weddings over the next 7 days. I am either going to lothe the computer when I come home, or be desperate for RP escape. Too soon to tell. Just my heads up.

Yeah, yeah, sass away.

You say it like you expect anything less from me

I keep hoping.

@Joslyn hope that's about what you wanted,

I dunno what you hope to achieve with the tracking device, and getting the kid to arrive at a similar time.. we can't use the trace we have from Xade, do you have another tracking device that you mean ?

I think I'm confused

Roll me some perception for Remy and Joslyn, please, aural so visual enhancements do not apply.

Perception
(7d6.hits(5)=4)

Roll me initiative for Remy and Joslyn!

@Grendel "ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and girls, We have official Turbine / Drek interface ! "

initiative : Danny's Pawn & Loan
(12d6.hits(5)=5) total = 17 / 3 passes

first question, was my perception enough to see huge K.E. badges on their chests ? or S.W.A.T whatever the recent equivalent task force moniker is

@Joslyn "I dun Finks dey liked your accent, man!"

Ha, I read the OOC first and thought I'd provoked Xade to attack me somehow...not that this seems the better option.

Prepare to witness the glorious combat prowess of a completely unaugmented 80 year old man!

7d6.hits(5)=2

Init 9, 1 pass.

I quite literally snorted cherry coke out my nose,

same here, note to self, read IC first

Ok, I needed that laugh.

@grendel, sorry for my shit post. Should have waited till I was more coherent to write something, but I didn't know if I'd have time until Monday/Tuesday if I didn't toss something up.

All right, Remy is up first in combat, this turn will have 3 passes.

This is what the pawn shop looks like on the first turn of combat.

None of the attackers are wearing any insignia, the quick glance Remy has shows them to be dressed in digital urban camo jumpsuits with respirators and goggles.

How do you want this? Ooc intentions first followed by IC or vice versa ?

For example, Remy intends to step quickly to cover between Joslyn and Alpha.

His complex action is to grab and subdue Alpha, thus using him as human cover from the rest as well as the physical cover from the wall.

Subdual combat is handled as a standard melee attack, Remy has no modifiers so go ahead and roll his pool.

Free Action: Shout to Danny and Joslyn "GEDDOWN!"
Subdual attack: Alpha
(8d6.hits(5)=3)

are we updating IC at the end of each pass etc. ? or as we see fit ?

Can't see the map yet, didn't join the wikispaces thing previously. Reckon the actions would be the same however the map looks though:

Joslyn will try to take cover near the front door, draw pistol and...

can you hold simple actions?

If you can, he'll wait to take his shot, if not, he'll shoot the nearest ungrappled guy.

8d6.hits(5)=1

...miss the nearest ungrappled guy.

I didn't realize you had to be a member to see the map. I'll put it up on flickr for you, let me adjust it to reflect reality. Joslyn is also going to have to resist damage from the flash-bang as there's no power reduction. 6S, -3 AP, with body+impact armor.

Try this link.

Eeep! "dis is gunna hurts, Chummer!"
RESIST : GRENADE
Body = 5
Bone lace = 2
Armoured vest = 4

taken 3 boxes stun,

Balls, I don't think I'm even wearing armour, think some Edge use is in order...

6d6.hits(5)=0

...yup, balls seems to sum it up.

6S taken.

Stumbling for the front door here.

I'm not dead! Just busy

Things are "sort of" quieting down, so I'll start writing again either tonight or tomorrow.

Yay! This mama hen was getting worried

No worries, I've been a bit swamped myself.

Let me get that fixed.

Holy crap. Apparently, wikispace became "subscription based" since we've started using it (2007!!!), so technically, we are now limited to 5 members only if we want to use the free version. Luckily enough, by kicking out all the inactive players, I've been able to make a spot for DeliciousD.

All this to say that I think I'll start searching for another platform. A plain ol' Wiki might just do the trick.

Let me know if you guys need another editor. I'm happy to help again, whatever platform we go to.

And I think if an "owner" of the wiki validates/verifies the account it can be made public again... but then again I only skimmed the info when it kept yelling at me to look at mine.

Dayamn sorry mate, thought I was doin' you a solid there by diving on the first guy, they must really want something bad to be breaking out the "heavy" ordnance in the first round.

If I survive this, I'm not stepping out of the house without armour again...preferably milspec.

It's fine though, it's only stun, I'll just slap on a Stimpatch and...damn, I knew there was something I forgot to buy something at character creation.

I've got a bunch of Cram for this exact sort of situation too but it's probably in my armoured jacket...safely at home. At least I'm saving on armour repair.

I didn't realize that wikispaces had gone to a subscription service. That's unfortunate.

Danny spends a simple action to ready weapon and a simple action to load (agility) rounds. This ends first pass.

Remy is up on 17 again.
