I ran through everything on the Wiki for pass 1. I think there are some characters missing (Neo, for instance) so put them up and they'll get edited in when I add pass 2 (tomorrow, most likely).

Air Spirit's Resistance Tests:

1st Stun Bolt: 2 hits
2nd Stun Bolt: 2 hits

Didn't use Edge, since it was said, that the spirits have control over their own Edge.

I think JJs actions were included in the "engines rev in the gym preparing for escape" section... I could be wrong though.

Knives IP2
Hold action, untils the trolls begin to engage in melee combat with anyone. holding action to wait to see if any injured trolls enter the door, if any moderately injured trolls begin melee combat with anyone, then Knives will throw.

Actions:
Free: Call Shot
Simple 1: Throw Knife

Whoops, two vital pieces of information, both of which immediately affect Knives, but affect everyone eventually.

#1, The grenades explode on initiative 12, cloaking the trolls (and about 5m into the entry way) in heavy smoke. It's non-thermal, but even thermo is at a -2 penalty to everything through it. (not relevant to Knives I now see)

#2. There are some house rules for called shots on the wiki. As the trolls are wearing helmets and body armor, your called shot is restricted to 3 points or less. Clicky.

@silo would that require a body + Str roll?
Mebbe you shoulda had that rolled first... TG always responds to rolls heheh

PS to everyone - don't start rolling to just grab the gm's attention on too many things, cuz then we just bog down his precious time.

Oh, and if your character's actions were of the "run away, get to the vehicles" nature, they are covered by the last line in a blanket fashion.

Shade's rolls against shotgun attacks for Combat Turn 2, Pass 1

Shot 1: 1 hit
Reaction Roll: 01 02 03 04 05 06 06 = 3 hits
Net Result: Defender has 2 net hits: Attack does not hit; no damage

Shot 2: 2 hit
Reaction Roll: 01 04 04 05 05 06 06 = 4 hits
Net Result: Defender has 2 net hits: Attack does not hit; no damage

Shot 3: 2 hit
Reaction Roll: 01 03 04 04 04 05 06 = 2 hits
Net Result: Defender has 0 net hits, Tie goes to Defender: Attack does not hit; no damage

Shot 4: 1 hit
Reaction Roll: 01 01 02 04 05 05 05 = 3 hits
Net Result: Defender has 2 net hits: Attack does not hit; no damage

Note: Just looking at what the trolls have for damage resistance, it's no wonder we can barely hurt them. And that's not even counting any Reaction rolls they're able to make to dodge. Sheesh, and here I was sure my last attack would at least hurt one of them.

Actually, I was hoping I'd get lucky and drop one of them, or at least seriously injure him. Clearly, I was living in a fantasy world. Uh, even more so than I already am, since I'm playing an RPG.

The trolls are pretty stout. But, then again, you've got Knives up there rolling 15 dice to hit with throwing knives, so it's not like they really out class you guys by much.

Since you just posted Pass 1, can we post our OOC rolls/actions and IC posts for Pass 2 now?

yea but you gotta remember... he's throwing KNIVES! (you made the exception for him! read the notes in the char creation...) even at 9P damage.. it gets shifted to stun....not much a knife gonna do if it hits that armor....

so I editted my old post on his first throw.... still did good job for being a knife thrower though.

Well, stun damage is still damage. For NPCs, I'm using the combined damage track rules. 3P is pretty wimpy damage, though

@ TG & GM
Uh, what did the troll readying and tossing the two granades with his two-handed cobat-axe in the mean time?

EDIT:
No intend to rent about, I don´t really care. Was just wondering, if the troll droped his axe.

Well, normal movement rules apply. You probably don't need to roll to carry Felix, but you would likely not be able to run whlie doing so (you could move at a walk speed, though).

Felix's actions still stand: he'll keep fighting the air spirit while the rest of the gangers escape from the roof.

Does moving Felix affect his astral stuff?

Not that JJ will care...

Not at all
I'm just curious as to how Felix is going to find his body again

When are we scheduled to get to combat round 3?

At this pace, round 3 will start on Friday.

Back to an earlier question I didn't answer, please go ahead and post your actions for passes 2 and 3. As pass 3 tends to be only a few characters, I'm going to try to get both passes done at the same time.

TinkerGnome: You forgot to post the results of Neo's actions in your Combat turn 2, pass 1 post.

@ GM & TG
About spirit combat. I´d have objections to using a contested combined F roll, as I don´t know, how to implement Damage & Friends in combat modifieres. If I should simply apply them to the roll (that would be (combined F 5 * 2)-2 Damage +3 FiC = 11) that would be ok, with me, as long as any cometant, who does have no action, not only rolls just F * 1 (- Damage) for that IP, but allso can´t do any damage, in that IP, even if it gets more hits.

Edit2: oh, I just saw, that TF´s spirits have been edited out of the IP lists, so I guess you are allready using the simple rolls. If so, ignor this post.

So, untill these issues are addrest:

I didn't exactly forget. It wasn't on the list on the Wiki.

@ GM & TG
Well, I don´t really like this system and don´t want to use it in regular battles. However, to speed up things in this mass battle, I have no objections, to use it (though IMO my spirits would still be better off in the long run, by regular rules). The only point I´d insist on, is, that a spirit can´t dish out any damage in an IP, where it has no action, no metter, how many hits.

So, here are the combined rolls:

I've finished the edit of round 1. Some light injuries from Neo's actions, but he got shot. A lot. I'm not going to include his actions for the rest of the round pending his survival or decision to retreat. Honestly, I wouldn't stand and throw more grenades after something like that.

Round 3 now?

TG - Noticed you just put up the IC post for Pass 2 and 3. For those of us who don't require any dice rolls (such as Shade) can we post our Pass 2 and 3 actions in one IC post then?

Has it been decided for sure that there's a fire escape on the outside of the building? If so, Shade and Toy are definitely taking the roof and fire escape.

Do you want any rolls for Shade carrying Toy? According to the book, Lifting and Carrying is a STR + BOD roll, so I'm going to go with that unless you say otherwise. I believe Ronin has already burned the Edge to stabilize her, so Shade should not need any first aid type rolls.

Lifting and Carrying Toy (STR + BOD): 01 02 02 03 04 05 05 06 06: 4 hits

The only real combat still going on is the melee. Aside from that, everyone is fleeing. If you're involved in the melee, go ahead and make some rolls (I would recommend running or taking a fall) and we'll narrate out the rest of it since the actual rolls part of the combat looks to be over.

I would actively discourage anyone from popping up in a window to fire. You will die. Also, jumping into melee with the adepts is likely to be suicide.

All in all, the trolls are all bloodied, but most are still mobile.

Don't worry, Shade and Toy are definitely running away, along with anyone else going out through the roof. How far ahead do you want us to narrate? I would imagine that by the end of Pass 3, Shade will have made it to Toy, and maybe managed to carry her to the stairs.

Do you want us to narrate to a certain time, or to a certain point in the storyline (e.g. when the gangers regroup in their various 'cells')? Just let me know how far I can post ahead and I'll get it up reasonably soon.

Theoretically the trolls can make it into the auditorium to block anyone escaping through that area, the timing could be important in terms of combat turns, though not IP. It might make a difference if some of us have to run past some Spikes as we flee.

After that, it may be likely we have a chase and a series of encounters unless the Spikes withdraw, or we flee the area entirely (That Cali Road trip sounds good right now). This again implies some sequence of actions to resolve these encounters. How are we handling this?

I can understand going off of IP, but it seems we may need to do combat turns or some equivalent for a while?

@TG

Well, Felix will simply try to find his body in get back to the physical plane. Do you want me to roll anything?

Well, I don't think there's much chance of the trolls being held in place for more than a couple of IP. However, they're not going to know to head immediately for where the vehicles are, so I'd say we'll begin the road race instead. Go ahead and narrate up through the end of round 3.

And no, Felix doesn't need to roll anything to find his body.

Raven's summoning attempt on the 2nd IP:

Summoning: 2 hits

Reading the IC... does Raven's Air Spirit even get to use the Fear power?

Unless it uses Edge, the spirit should suffer 12 boxes of stun from the two Stun Bolts (rolls are somewhere above in this thread, 2 hits on each Resistance Test w/o Edge).

Not that it makes a big difference... rolled for Fear just in case it's necessary: 1 hit

EDIT: Whoops, I just saw somewhere hidden within a paragraph, that you apparantly already rolled for it?

I couldn't find the stunbolt resistance rolls so I just assumed it was there as it changes very little, in the end.

@ GM & TG

In the 3rd Round, TF´s spirits will go after the last enemy spirit, that stayed with the trolls, trying to disrupt it as well, as commanded. If any of the Mages posps into astral space, they will all concentrate their attacks on the mage (one of them, if there is more then one).
I won´t bother rolling, unless you deem it necessarry. Just tell me when (if) any of them parish, so TF can whistle up new support.
When there are no other targets available, the Spirit of Man will seek for the next crash members and support thair flight (using guard and or confusion). The Watchers will single mindedly search the gangs turf for more enemies in astral space, until their time is up in ~53 minutes or until they meet TF, and he tells them to do s.th. else.

Thanee - How is Raven planning on escaping? Would she like to come to the roof with Shade and Toy? We should be able to meet up with Aziz and maybe Thyn as well. Going through the melee downstairs could be really risky.

Of course the downside is leaving our vehicles in the gym (ARGH! That's a couple BP right there!) but for Shade at least, I highly doubt he's skilled enough to ride while carrying an unconscious Toy, so he would have to leave it either way and hope the Spikes don't take/destroy it.

Anyway, if you want to take the fire escape route with us, just letting you know that's which way we're going.

Raven plans to go through a backside window on the 2nd floor (roof would work, too, but backside seems quicker). She can levitate. Also, Raven's bike is not in the gym, but outside a bit away from the obvious 'hot spots'.

Once she knows, that Auran is not actually wounded (but rather unconscious from mental trauma), and if she sees Toy bleeding on the floor (which she probably will) on her way to Auran and Shade, she will head there, to help her instead (she can't do anything for Auran).

I guess with a little running back and forth, she will get there on the 3rd IP.

Shade will probably not be there before next round (it takes 2 IPs running alone to get there, by my estimation from the wiki map).

TG - I think you have a bad habbit of writing off Electrode's drones.

Drone 1 just can't avoid the Troll's continued attack.. The remington wielding machine crumbles.
Drone 2 avoid:

Umm.. query: Why is Jax in the combat at the front door?

Last I heard he was in the gym loading dock with the bikes ready to hold back any trolls who try to attack trolls getting to those running away....

If the GM would use the map we have loaded on the wiki, he would see that was the case...
