That's cool. If someone has time, could they please go through and translate all the posts in the combat (actions, etc.) so far over to the scratch sheets? I've been swamped at work and have been having computer trouble so it's slow going if I do it.

Doing so right now.

Done deal.

It's quite possible I've fragged up something, so please everyone, double check it.

As posted on the wiki, TF will use his Actions, to pop Jazz (free action, since it´s integrated in the breather and activates via Skinlink) and give instructions to his spirits.

He will send his Spirit of Man on remote service, to 1. disrupt/hold off as many oponents as possible, in teamwork with the watchers (one at a time, starting with any astrally active, then spirits, then Cybered/Leader, then Mundane, then Mages).
2. If he survives this undesrupted/banished use Guard (if they are still fleeing)/Concealment (if they are Hiding) on any members of the Crash, he comes about first.
3. Return to his realm and say 'Hallo' to the family.

I will hold my IC post until the Actions of the faster pcs/npcs are resolved.

Since nobody except Dranem volunteered to take over inactives, yet, I´d take over Cammy and Shade, as they are in TF´s team.

I believe sending a spirit on a remote service uses up all its services. So, theoratically, you could only give him "one" command. But then again, I might be wrong.

You can give a spirit with multiple services a number of commands for remote service.

That's not really a remote service, though.

Not entirely sure, but I think remote has to be outside your control radius.

EDIT: After reading it again, it certainly doesn't say much about it, only says, that the spirit is then allowed to leave the immediate area around the summoner, but it's just my impression, that with remote service they mean a service fulfilled at a remote location.

I read it up, you can offer more then one command, or at least comands that need more then one service, as Thanee already posted. In this case it would be Delay/Disrupt opposition and protect/conceal the Crash (as specified above).
But if TG thinks that´s not ok, well I don´t expect the spirits will to last through #1, anyway .

BTW, Mister, you might have Slam´s action gotten wrong

About Cammy and Shade
I think Cammy would stay on Auran´s side, to protect her in close combat in the event of the Trolls entering the Y (maybe Auran will be her Rider, as well). She may use a Warhawk borrowed from Slam (or Auran) and try to shoot (though she´d be as bad as JAX).
Shade will probably shoot with his Warhawk, from a Window close to the main entrance (To be near by in the event of trolls storming in).

If nobody has any objections, I´ll call targets and roll for the shots.

Oh, Juan, did you account for Shade´s Reflexbooster when rolling his in? His Booster will be one, for sure in this tense situation. That´s 3 IP, then (too bad, he doesn´t use drugs, as well ) and Init would be +2 (+hits).

Should we just put all the inactives that are melee (which is all of them but the techies I think) Inside the door and just have them hold action? Ready to pounce on anyone getting through the door?

And the only ones that seem to have any skill at firearms are thyn (Who may be backing JAX up...) and Shade.... maybe next to Auran? as a tag team revolver squad? Then Cammy, Knives, and 2by4 would be ready with fist, blade, and bat down in the entrance? next to slam?

Also noticed that Steel is up there with initiative.... wasn't Steel another current PC's old char? If we're still keeping him, he's a rigger. With 2 more dobermans packing shotguns, and a rotodrone.

Why are there posts in IC that have gone 7 seconds (2 COMBAT TURNS) in to the future?

Come on folks, I know we are all itching to post, but let's please not jump time right now when time matters so much.

Posts during an active combat should never, IMO, go further than what the GM posts. Especially 2 combat turns ahead.

Hell, all those trolls may open up on us with Assualt Canons on the second pass of the first turn...

I'll edit my timestamps when it's my turn, sorry for leaping ahead.

I say we count him in. And I think Thyn should uh, also be up on the roof. Also shooting people.

Yes, yes.

Put Steel right in front of JJ and Felix.

Alright.
I'm going to organize and clean up the IP page, cause it's cluttered and unreadable. Once I'm done with that, I'll move along to placing all the NPCs.
For ease of play, let's divide up the NPCs right now.
So:
Dranem has 0day and Electrode.
MK has Cammy and Shade.

That leaves 2by4, Knives , Thyn and Steel. If no one feels like taking them for the fight, I can always do it.

Ok here come Shade´s actions at Ini Score 13, 1st of 3 IPs. I´ll assume, he at least drew his Revolvers allready, like anybody else.

1st Simpel action shoot the Troll nearest to Spirit(s), 1 Edge, to re-roll.

Cammy (Ini Score 7, 1 IP) will just stand/crouch ~1 meter next to the main entrance, with her back at the wall. Baton in hand, holding her action to jump the first (or second, whatever, according to planing with others at the door) Enemy, that enters.

@ GM
Aziz's free action would be to duck behind cover. Forgot to mention that.

If someone wants to control Knives and Thyn, I'll take care of 2by4 and Steel.

Wasn´t that big a difference with Edge 6, to re-roll non-hits or to add 6 and re-roll 6es. Only with this really low roll, non-hit re-rolls would have been like a whole second shot.

Speaking of which, you can still do another short burst in 1st IP!

I thought long bursts were an aspect of Full Auto fire, which is a complex action...

Yes, a long burst is considered a Simple Action (page 143), while Full is Complexe.

According to SR4 p. 143+, only a full burst (more then 6 shots) would be a complex action, a Long burst (6 shots) can only be done in full auto mode, but only takes up a simple action. Only one long burst can be fired in a single IP, but with another simple action (befor or after), an aditional standard (3 round) burst can be fired, the recoil for the second burst is -6.

So Toy can do an additionell similar burst, but only with 3 rounds (DV 3 less) and with one less die, due to recoil. I would not use Edge (keeping it for the next long burst or what ever).

Hey guys... I wouldn't mind taking over for Thyn and Knives... I like to RP, and hopefully I could make their actions semi-realistic for this combat.

As fas as Thyn goes.... He could be on the roof with Aziz, but he would then give control of his van to JAX.

Knives would probably be holding action, not jumping out into the gunfight but would be waiting for it to come into his range.

Quick Question to all... for Throw Weapon action... can you only throw 1 knife? or can you throw as many as you have readied in one hand?

I won't roll anything yet, just in case someone else wanted to take over Thyn or something, or had objections to him being on the roof. Comments?

JAX has objections to him being on the roof, but Thyn's his own man. He's a solid dependable sort of guy - the sort that needs to be with Aziz. The sort that should be with non-combatants (like JAX and some of the techies).

Thyn's motives? how's this....

Thyn: "Sorry, JaX, but there's a time for patience and a time for action. And when the going gets tough...I was picked on the diversion team, you're on the getaway team." He places a hand on JAX's shoulder. "Listen, if I don't make it back, I want you to have the van." Thyn subscribes the van to JaX's comm. "It's been good..." Thyn offers a toothy grin, and he calmly gathers his things. He grabs his Polearm and his AK, stuffs some extra clips into the pockets of his armor jacket, and he marches off to the roof...

Sorry guys been at work all afternoon.

Halo's gonna pop Cram, move beside her bike and watch the loading dock door. Once she gets the sign from Wyrm that she's crashed up some bikes she'll take off... likely a few actions from now

Had to change Shade´s Target from nearest awakened to Spirit(s), to nearest Troll to Spirit(s), since he ha no Com, to use the Tactical heads-up :-/

Thyn's going to fire a burst at the leader (Or any other available troll) from his spot next to Aziz on the roof.

Don't forget thyn's second shot... long burst - still aimed at leader

Uh, Looks like Voorhees also forgot to roll 2 dice for Thyn´s Smartlink, eh?

As the Combat probably won´t reach IC for some days, I posted how TF wasted some of the time until the Trolls reached the Y. This shouldn´t have any effect on the combat.

EDIT:
Uh, Rokur your right, I forgot about that, the 1 die still to roll, probably won´t make a lot of a difference.

@ GM & TG
Now I don´t want to apear greedy, but just in case, you have simply forgotten about it. Do we get Karma for last (and this) week? I could still wait, as I can´t decide, what to boost first (@ All, any recomandations?), but some are saving up thair karma since the beginning, and would be hapy to reach thair spending threshold, I guess.

I went through init 13 as I felt a few people might want to adjust actions. From here, I'll run out the rest of the pass.

The physical barrier is force 5 with 5 hits.

Oh and 3 karma for active players for each of the last two weeks.

Decided to change Raven's action after all...

Increase Reflexes Force 4: 3 hits (+2 Initiative, +2 IP)
Drain Resistance DV 4P: 5 hits (No Drain)

Bye
Thanee

Dodge against shot one

...each of the last two weeks...

Can only mean the latter, really.

Bye
Thanee

TG - if you got time... which trolls are under the barrier? just 3 (leader + 2 mages)? or all the rest that haven't pulled a weapon?

edit - also, with new Karma.... are we allowed to implement changes into our char now? or wait till after this "meeting of the minds"

Since JJ is getting shot, Felix, who was about to got to the gym for his bike, will stop in his track and stay to fight.

Felix is going astral and heading towards the roof, ordering his spirit to attack the spirit heading for the roof.

Auran's action will be the same... but from what I can tell the AK is the heaviest weaponry???

Here are the Astral Combat rolls for the Fire Elemental

@TG
Can we make our spirits roll Edge, or do you control them 100%?

@ TG & GM

Can a mage summon spirits and watchers, while astrally projecting? The Book doesn´t mention anything, so I think it´s ok.

Anyway, TF´s action stays the same, The spirit & watchers will attack the Spirit going after Auran & Slam, first.

The leader, two of the mundane trolls, and the three mages are the ones in the barrier.

Spirits pretty much never roll edge unless there is a very good (ie, DM approved) reason. For instance, a fire elemental is happy to roll edge against a water elemental most of the time. Characters with Spirit Affinity often get their (appropriate type) spirits to roll it, though.

The karma can't be spent just yet. Wait till combat is over (for those that live).

There is nothing I've seen stopping you from conjuring while projecting.

The AK is the heaviest gun you've seen. There are a frightening number of shotguns and combat axes floating about, though.

JJ Getting Shot At

2 hits, 2 hits, 7P/-1

Shot 1

Dodge

Silo, I think you may have rolled too many dice for that second dodge. Doesn't your pool go down by one for each attack you attempt to evade?
