Well, I think we don´t have any spare locks/sec devices, so I´d say the backdoor should be heavyly bared and maybe lightly blocked from the inside. Thisway, it could still be used as back door, but only be opened from the inside.
If you guys and gals think that´s too insecure, well then better have it compleatly blocked as open and not lockable.

EDIT:
Changed Post Icon, to account for another hit of the conspiracy, to push me into the spotlight.

@ GM

If it´s possible, Tao will whistle up some Watchers BEFORE the Trolls start talking. This shouldn´t be a problem, since they take thair time. If it´s not ok just ignore the following rolls, I´ll make up some IC excuse, why TF didn´t summon them before. All will only be summoned for 1 hour, so the Drain is allways 1S.

Watcher #1

Watchers are fine, drugs are fine (provided they last at least a number of minutes). You guys are going to need every edge you can get. I just hope enough of you survive to learn from this experience

Ok I forgot to mention besides Aurans initiative she has 3IP
so Auran's initiative Round 1 = 6/3 IP

Also since there is no action section quite yet, here are Auran's actions for now and her rolls -
Action 1 - Boosting own agility

maybe someone should just roll initiative at least for the inactives, and then we can worry about their actions later?

Sorry for the triple post, but TG! you shouldn't have put the Stuff on the combat page... now I am spoiled But yea.... we're gonna die....

@ GM

Does TF have any experiance with taking Novacoke and Jazz (maybe Kamikaze, too) simultaneously?
He would have asked any medic about it, since these are the drugs (besids Cram) he uses most frequently.

So does he know wether these combinations have adverse effects beyond the combined usual side effects?

I'll take care of rolling Initiative for all the inactives. I trying to clean up the scratch pad as we speak, so don't touch it

Eh, they will probably run off after their leader dies in front of them.

Please God, let them run when their leader dies in front of them.

You realize it's a huge, heavily cybered troll wearing an armor jacket and a helmet, right? I've already rolled the result and he took... 3 boxes.

@TG
Want me to keep track of condition monitors also?
Also, could you write up the IP of the trolls so I know where to put them in the IP list?

@ TG

Besides the Drug question, how about TF´s Leadership roll, will it give bonus dice (2 hits = 2 dice?) for composure tests?

@ MJ

TF will only have 2 IP next turn he takes Jazz in the first turn, not befor the first shot.
Though he may go astral anyway (so 3 IP, then, I guess the Jazz doesn´t work while projecting).
Halo and TF are still on the wrong position. Take your time, just wanted to point it out again, since it came up in IRC.

I added IP to the Wiki.

Leadership should give bonus dice for composure, yes.

I'm not going to give you drug inteaction side effects. You simply take full after-effects from both.

Great, 3 boxes.

JJ is yelling for Slam to call the A's.

If he doesn't or they don't come, JJ might call the freakin' Star.

I suppose handing the box over at this point won't do any good either. Not unless we give them Aziz as well. Hehe...nah...we'll keep him a bit longer.

Nurse Initative:

@ GM

I rolled (back on the other page) Gang ID and got 4 successes, can you tell us/me who these guys are or what Halo'd know with that so we can pass it along amongst the group?

Thanks!

@GM -

JJ wants to know too...

To identify the mean ass trolls in our yard:

You know, having the 'Star show up in the middle of this to question us about the Stuffer doesn't sound so bad right about now, does it?

On the upshot, if I live, I'll have a rep boost as the guy who shot the troll leader a pretty decent wounding. I guess Aziz should have yelled "Leeroy Jenkins!" instead of "Fuck you!"

Oh no.

Who said he didn't.... .... .... right, everyone, right?

Well, I think we're going to be okay. We're in a defended position, and so far we have the drop on them.

Wounded Ronin
Cool IC post, really sweet (but where is the accent)

About the inactives, yea, ther won´t be too much RPing in it, just make them act semi resonably, so everyone, who feels up to it, from a time standpoint, should just grab one (or two) of them and call thair actions/roll thair dice.

The gangers are definiely Spikes. With 4 hit, you know pretty much what's in New Seattle and other books about them. Trolls. Hate elves. You're also pretty sure (90%) that the guy leading this group is NOT the leader of the entire gang.

OKie doke. Sounds good to me. I'll make a post up tonight to pass the info onto our gang

Hate elves? Awesome! Those of us elves who aren't killed in the initial fighting can look forward to a slow death through very elaborate torture.

Wait, did I say that out loud?

Spikes or not Spikes, Wyrms, still gonna crash some bikes so that Nurse and I can make our gettaway.

That'll be a big boost my to my online rep, The Wyrm who Crash'd the Spikes!

Heh, it would be funny if the box left by motorcycle out the back while everyone is busy killing and dying up front. Then the Spikes go over all these bodies and casings and pick up the shoebox and find that it's filled with dog shit and the real box is long gone.

BTW, I guess I should save time by rolling dice ahead of time. Using automatic fire I'd like to shoot at the same person Aziz shot at with a number of rounds that represents a medium balance between power and accuracy. Can someone help me understand what I need to do?

I think you're going to want to fire a Long Burst, which is a complex action. It ups the Damage by 5P, but imposes a -5 recoil modifier. The modifier would be completely offset by the laser sight, shock pad, and gas vent, so roll your Firearms + Agility + Anything else you want (Coughedgecough)

Looks like Voorhees is telling me to use edge, which I understand is a bit like karma pool. I'll use two points of edge, then, and reserve the rest until such time of edge refreshment, for bullet absorption.

That's not the way I understand Edge to work.

You say that you're rolling Edge and then you add your Edge attribute in dice to the roll (keeping track that you've spent a point of Edge). So at 6 Edge you add six dice to your roll and can use Edge 5 more times before you re-roll.

Edge seems super crazy good to me, but since we're likely to make more than 6 rolls before the pool refreshes, maybe it all comes out in the wash. So, then you have 4 more dice to roll, if my take on those rules is correct.

TG's dice rolling Excel deali-o is handy, it makes code tags for you and everything.

EDIT: Added 'dice' in a couple spots.

Yeah, with edge and home turf you'd be rolling a total of 16 dice.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I will remember that I had 1 hit so far, and now I am rolling an additional 6 dice as per your recommendations.

You get to explode (reroll) 6s on Edge rolls (and when you're spending Edge up front - not afterward to save your ass - you get to explode ANY 6s that come up).

So you get one more roll. (Come on 6!)

EDIT: Again, someone jump in if I've got a bad read on this.

Holy crap! OK, here's one more roll, with a 1/3 chance of it being another hit.

A long burst uses 6 bullets.

Anyway, you did a 14P wound to the previously wounded Troll leader. Hopefully he won't roll 15 hits again.

@ Wounded Ronin - Not to beat edge to death... but to clarify, and for other people's use... I believe you may have incorrect rolls STILl.. which is insane.... with the use of edge... per 1 point spent, you can add your edge attribute in dice on one test. Since you used 2 points, you'd get 12.... However, besides the 6 you already rolled, you have already rolled 2 in the first post.... so you've rolled 8 for your edge instead of 12.

However, there are a couple methods of use for edge in case you were wondering - 1)Add edge attribute to roll (Rule of 6 applies only when edge is spent in this way, and only to those dice rolled after the declaration of spending edge)
2) Re-roll all misses from a single test
3) Go first in one initiatuve pass,
4) get another Initiative pass for that combat turn
5) Long shot.,.. roll edge attribute for one test, even if modifiers would have made it 0.
6) Burn one Edge to do a Dead Man's Trigger? Hand of God? (This may have been ruled out by TG, but i don't remember right now)

I don't think you can use more than 1 Edge on a single roll... and usually, if you do not have about as much Edge as half or more of the number of dice you got for the roll (pre-Edge), it's often best to simply reroll the non-hits.

For example, if you have 10 dice (3 hits on average) and Edge 2, you could either roll 2 additional dice (and reroll 6s (2 more additional dice for a total of 4 in this example), or you could reroll 7 dice, which is 3 more and thus one more hit on average.

Bye
Thanee

Thanee got it right, you can only use 1 Edge per roll. With Home Ground Ronins roll was correct (though re-rolling would have been the better option even on an everage roll, so you should probably use this next time).

Also, though only 1 long bu!rst can be fired per IP, it only takes a simple action! Toy could have aimed befor.
Now she can still fire a short burst. 3 rounds, only +2 boxes, addsRecoil is -6, so it will be 11 dice base (incl. Home Ground). Edge (if applied) should be used for 6 additional dice & re-roll of 6es (but I´d spare the Edge for the next Long burst).

BTW, The AK has 38 rounds per clip.

Another Edge use, for which EVERYBODY should keep the last edge point is:
Burn 1 Edge permanently, to escape certain death.

The PC will probably still be out in this case, but not dieing, unless further misstreated.

Took the liberty of posting China Doll IP action, as I don't think there's much that can happen to materially change it on the first run through.

Hooray! Hop over and thank Adam for setting this up.

We now have cyan in our color dropdown list! So we can go with the color scheme as designated on the first page of this OOC thread.

@TG - you can edit out the bit about posting in blue.
