Hmm, would it take a roll to see what that node is?

Sorry... server went down as soon as I typed this the first time.

Anticipated Rolls:
Kno: Drugs - Int + skill = 2+3 = 5
2,3,6,6,6 - Three hits!

Con: Default Cha = 2-1 = 1
2 - 0 hits
Don't know if any situational modifiers apply.... but so what, he's a bad liar.

Crystal--Computer+Analyze. See SR4 p. 217

Ginger--Sorry, your assensing test slid under my radar.

It is a force 8 ward. Tracking its creator pulls you in several directions.

I took a "Magic Background" knowlegde skill which I meant to be a history of magic type skill. I also took a "Magic" knowledge skill which is supposed to be a 'how magic works' skill, which I think is the same as magic theory. If it is:

Magic + Magic theory = 9 dice
1,6,5,6,5,3,3,4,6 -> 5 successes 1 one

if not I default on magic = 5 dice
1,6,5,6,5 -> 4 successes 1 one

Talk about overkill.

I will spend 4 more hours tracking the creators of the ward. Following the strands going from left to right. If a strand leads me outside of Seatle I will stop and go back to start on the next strand.

Assensing + Intuition = 8 dice (1 hour interval)
1,4,4,5,3,2,4,3 -> 1 successes 1 ones
1,4,6,5,2,4,1,4 -> 2 successes 2 ones
4,1,5,2,4,3,1,3 -> 1 successes 2 ones
4,3,1,3,3,6,5,4 -> 2 successes 1 ones

*edit - Whoops, I thought that I could project for (Magic x 2) hours but rereading the rules I can only project for (Magic) hours, so nix that last test and I will spend the last hour returning to my body.

Ginger--All the strands lead out of Seattle. 2 to the North, 1 to the east.

Computer (4) + Analyze (6) = 10 Dice

#D=10 : 5636534121 n1=2 n6=2 nHit=4

Wolfgar is keeping watch as kevin digs for the house server making sure they are not noticed.

Warrior--Are you still driving? If you stop the motorcycle in front of the shop while Kevin analyzes things, you may start looking conspicuous.

Crystal--It's a rating 3 traffic sensor with a hardened firewall, actively scanning the area.

i figured i would have to stop, he cant scan as we drive past can he?

As long as you remain within his Signal range, you can keep moving.

then i remain moving, circling the area around the building

I'm in the process of moving, and will be offline until Friday.

Well, grats to moving, and then we'll see u soon!

hope the move was good.

Rolling starting cash
Low - 3 dice x $50
Rolls - 2,4,6 - 12 total, = 600 starting cash.


Roll:
Negotiation = Charisma (2) -1 for default
Rolls: 5 (1 hit)

Computer (4) + Analyze (6) = 10 Dice

5,4,3,3,1,3,6,4,2,3 = 2 Hits

so.... is this over?

doubt it, just waiting on the GM

Sorry folks, I started work 48 hours after getting into town...Should be back at this point.

Welcome back! hope everything's well!

Rokur--Just to be sure, you realize the area is fairly deserted and in the middle of a rural community.

Well, hmmm didn't realize it was rural.. thought it was a cityish area, cuz of the descriptions of looping around it and whatnot. Is there a likely place to park his bike where noone would notice it? I'll edit my post depending upon the answer to that. Remember Krum's not the smartest... he just tries real hard.

edited my post about staking out the shop.... didn't realize how rural it was...

Wolfgar is driving down to Redmond to find a van that he and kevin can hijack. looking for an older roadmaster or similar with only one occupant or none.

Hunter is taking a ride around the drop. Getting as close to the actual drop as possible and then spiraling out to five blocks, just to get a good over-view of the area.

Perception rolls if needed:
3, 4, 4, 5, 10 = 2 successes
1,1,3,4,10 = 1 success
1,1,3,4,5 = 1 succes
wow can you glitch on a perception test?

Bearclaw--yes, you can...

Rokur--Perception test please.

Sorry... knew I forgot something haha...

defaulting to intuition:
5 = 1hit

PS I was re-reviewing the rules, and was wondering if i can change Krum a bit... basically wanna get rid of dodge, since I didn't realize that melee defense could use unarmed combat. I even put the specialty in melee, which is double retarded.

What skill would I need to use to get past the alarms and hack the rig?

Rokur--Keep Krum as is for this run. Afterwards, if you'd like to re-build him before the next run that's fine.

Crystal--there are several ways to steal a car...from a purely wireless setup it'd be as follows:
First you have to find the signal--Matrix Perception test.
Then Hacking on the Fly--Hack+Exploit

Once you're inside the host, actions become based on what you want to do.

Perception Test (Computer (4) + Analyze (6) = 10 Dice)

#D=10 : 3252561644 n1=1 n6=2 nHit=4


Hack (4) + Exploit (6) = 10 Dice

#D=10 : 6611664414 n1=3 n6=4 nHit=4

Hack (4) + Exploit (6) = 10 Dice

#D=10 : 4353664214 n1=1 n6=2 nHit=3

Doh!

then:
1 hit
2 hits
3 hits
3 hits

My rolls suck very much it seems.

How long can I do this?

until someone notices us, and i'm keeping watch

Crystal--each time you attempt, the system gets a chance to detect your intrusion. It can then launch counter attacks.

#D=10 : 2143216414 n1=3 n6=1 nHit=1
#D=10 : 1516522134 n1=3 n6=1 nHit=3
#D=10 : 3223665615 n1=1 n6=3 nHit=5

Did I make it with the 5?

Isn't there a probe node extended test???(unless you're hacking on the fly)

PS - I rolled a resistance test to drug, and lost.... did you want to do those? or keep track? or what would you like?

Rokur--He's hacking on the fly, as the probe node takes hours....please post your resistance rolls in the future. Also, how many doses are you taking in one go?

Trying to take as little as possible, while still feeling results. so 1?

Rokur-Noted.

Crystal--The system is launching a counter offensive after your 3rd pass. I will bump the attack tonight when I get home from work. Please roll initiative.

Bearclaw--Do you have any dice you'd like to throw my way?

Warrior--Feel free to roll initiative as well so that you can take actions while Keivn fights with the system.

Rokur--Please roll Willpower.

Krum - rolling willpower
Will (4) -
6,1,4,4 - 1 hit

Initiative (10 Dice)

#D=10 : 4456366142 n1=1 n6=3 nHit=4

So 14 initiative.

New to cyber combat, any way to form a shield against these?

shields!? what do you mean?

Cybercombat is just like regular combat but differrent rolls (i.e. attacks are opposed hacking +ATTACK prog. vs Firewall+response.)
And then damage resistance comes from rolling system + armor...

Initiative (8 Dice)

#D=8 : 66665411 n1=2 n6=4 nHit=5

So 13 initiative.

so... uh... did I fall unconscious? take a lot of stun but still standing? or should I just post as if I have no clue?

Rokur--You're conscious, no damage except the emotional baggage of feeling your own death and projecting out of your body for a second.

Sorry, been a bit since I've last played and a bit confused because of it.

Crystal--You have initiative. You can go full defense if you don't want to attack the IC. You can make an attack, or a non-combat matrix action if you would rather. A final solution to leaving the problem is to Jack out.

Was the initiative score you used for AR or VR? Are you Hot or Cold?
