Since all I can see are the whip wielder in melee with Rowan and the shooter at Bob, I'm going to split off to the right, keeping within the bushes if possible, and try to line up a shot on Bob's assailant. Max Power with Ex Ex ammo, Pistols 5(6). With two initiative phases, I'd probably try to aim with one phase because of the poor lighting, and fire with my second phase.

Grey: considering about 3 meters from the bar to the curb, about 6 meters across the street and maybe another 3 from the curb to the elf, you need to cover 12 meters -- if you start running you can cover 8x3 = 24 meters in the turn, which means you'll get to act on your third phase in melee. Running imposes a +4 on your target numbers, so if you don't call the shot and aim for a round, you'll have only a +3.

I couldn't find an initiative roll for Rowan so I just did it myself. Combat phase one posted on the IC thread for this little firefight. Akuma and Lex still have actions in this phase so speak up and let me know what they're going to do. If I don't hear anything from Grey about actions I'll proabably just make him shoot at the Ork with the machine gun, because that seems like a good thing to do 
If Rowan notices Medea.. she uses both of her actions to shoot

Please auto pilot me until tuesday morning. Im on vacation and can't find time to post. SORRY!
If I have enough of an action left, I'd probably take another shot at the Ork with the machine gun (this is still combat phase 1 right?). If that shot you posted in the IC threat was the rest of my action, so be it. The next phase I'd try to find something to use for cover, before taking on the machine gunner again. Still not crossing the street yet.

I'm going to hold until Grey is back. And since Blitz is coming back tomorrow morning, too, that should work out pretty well. I want to know what Sophia would do about Gio wanting to go outside and help out with the fight. Once I have that action, I'll be able to know what's going on. So, for about 24 hours we're on hold.
Can you give us an update on the map so we know where eachother is?
And damn man, I leave you with my character for a little bit and he takes a Serious wound? Ugh!

Considering the roll, I could have blasted you right out of the game but didn't -- I decided on a serious manabolt because the mage _really_ doesn't want drain right around now. That's why she dropped the spell on Rowan before casting the manabolt, too.

I'll have an IC post for combat phase 2 as well as Gio's response to Blitz, etc. later tonight. right now, going to work on a picture showing the status outside. I'll have that up in maybe 15 minutes.
Okay -- current setting outside. I figured since Akuma was moving forward and Rowan was moving backwards, you'd both end up somewhere in between the bar and the bad guys pretty well lined up. Technically, Rowan is still in motion backwards at the moment retreating from the Elf that she just dropped and Akuma was trying to move forward, but got blasted by Medea.
Lex has partial cover from hiding by those bushes but only from the ork at the moment. The other shooter currently tangling with Bob has a line of sight on Lex so no cover from that location. Right now Rowan and Akuma have no cover at all. In light of this, I think Rowan, who is still in motion would be heading toward the bushes with Lex. PFogg, if you want to contradict me, that's fine, but since you're actions above included a movement modifier but no directional vector. In light of her slashing, I figure Rowan wants to move to cover.
I haven't heard from TinkerGnome in a while, so I'm putting Mojo back onto Autopilot. As of now, because of Akuma's call for spell defense, he's coming back outside, but he's not astrally perceiving or projecting because that elemental's still out there somewhere. He'll be running (15 11 04 01 #D:4 TN:4 H#:15 S:3, DAMN!) which puts him outside and prepared to do spell defense after this turn -- maybe a little out of breath

I'm not going to take any offencive actions, instead trying to get to that cover in one turn. If I don't have time to change clips, then I'll do that next round. Top priority is getting to the rear of the bushes and getting cover.

fyi...i've shifted the spell defense from the guards in the bar to those outside the bar. All 12 dice
Change of mind: Rowan runs towards Bob, hoping to use the car for cover and help bob out.
Instead of firing two rounds, Rowan will just run near the car and use it for cover, if she has time for a second action, she will shoot at bob's attacker.

Anyone know if you can protect people you can't see with spell defense?
There are no solid rules in the books as to when and how you can assign spell defense, only that it is a free action and does not require line of sight. Our gaming groups have always ruled that as long as the spell caster knows the person, has seen them, has seen their aura or knows their exact location, they can assign spell defense.
You are correct, madam. I reread the spell defense section -- not so much because I didn't believe you but because I was amazed that it didn't require LOS -- and it says they need to be on the same plane and within Magic Rating times 100 meters of you which the three outside certainly are.
Grey: I have that you used only the 2 combat pool added to firing. Also, you'll have one more phase (at phase 3 pass 4) to act on, post those actions when you can -- you're the only one from the team with anything left and you'll be able to make it to the bushes during this phase so you have the chance for an offensive action should you choose to take it.
IC post coming up.

I'm interpreting that to mean that you're trying to use the car for cover from both the human shooter that Bob is tangling with as well as the Ork with the machine gun. You can make it there by the start of the next combat turn.
Grey: available targets for Akuma are the ork, the shooter engaged with Bob and the dwarf who is running from car to car. The ork is stationary, the shooter's in melee and the runner is ... well ... running so such target numbers will apply.
You interpretted things correctly, do you need a new intitive yet?
Did I get my clips changed? I'm going to assume I did and if I didn't, my two shots will only be one shot. If I only get 1 shot, use combat pool from the second shot on the first shot.

Didn't want to usurp the character from you, I just figured you were travelling again. I understand the issues of real life and stuff
Grey: Yes, you're clips are changed. However, since the running is a complex action (Use Skill) you techinically use the free action and a simple action to drop the clip and slam in a new one on your third phse, then you can shoot once more with all 7 combat pool at the ork instead of splitting it between the two shots. I'll also allow you to send the message over the comms to Mojo as he moves out into the combat zone because I missed that you wanted to switch clips when I posted the last combat phase IC. Since I used GMs perrogative to change your posted actions, I'll also re-roll to see if you can nail a few more successes, if not, I'll go with your rolls.

Okay, currently Rowan, Lex, Akuma and Mojo are in combat. I'll need initiatives and first actiosn from you guys. TinkerGnome: If the others post an action before you do, I'll determine where best to plant a little magical assistence in favor of the group.

Yes, at this range, the low-light vision would definately cut through the bad lighitng so the TN is only 7 which still results in one success, though.
Yeah, but it might matter in the future.. thats all..
Oh the combat pool I rolled is also for the shot, I just saw Grey adding it seperately and decided to follwi his example
Thanks for mentioning that -- I missed it on the seperate line.

Lex is going to drop back into the bushes (free action to crouch?) right away, hoping the ork doesn't see him. Next opportunity the ork gives him, Lex will fire at the ork (twice if possible). Saving all combat pool for dodging (I hate machine guns).

I can't remember...do you have to do Biotech before magic healing or magic healing before biotech?? I think if you do the wrong one first, you can't do the second. But I could be wrong...
Well, being that you can always try to heal someone in the hospitol, I don't see why you couldn't do the spell first, then biotech after.
She drops all her held spells and throws all her spell pool to making the test rather than the drain.
Good luck hitting that Target Number 10. 
If anyone needs it, I have a high Biotech and medkits, but I figured with the mages in the group, healing shouldn't be a problem
Wait...cancel that. I just got confirmation. Magic healing seals the deal. Biotech FIRST!
I'll edit my post out and repost it after they've been bioteched. Ignore her post at this time.

Right -- a person who's magically healed is concidered "on the mend" for lack of a better term and biotech can't do any more for them. Essentially, biotech only gets rid of one box of damage and then the healing can get more, so it's almost six of one half a dozen of the other. 'Course with cybered-guys like Akuma, the biotech is much more effective than the healing is sometimes
Now that you all get a good look at Medea, I'll explain: Duster has a 9 strength with titanium bone lacing for a 13M stun hit. He rolled his 5 brawling + 9 combat pool in a surprise hit to Medea's face. Scoring 11 successes put her damage well past stun into a serious physical! Hence, the broken face.
Not that I wanted you to reroll things, but just for future referance, you can't roll more combat pool than you have points in a skill. If you have Pistols 3, then you can only spend 3 combat pool on the roll. It keeps people from taking 1 point in a skill, then throwing 9 combat pool at a roll and hitting like they are a freakin' ninja.
True -- it's funnier this way, though. I had forgotten about that little fact, something I do frequently in RL games, too.
Blitz: Should I take that to mean that you and Gio are going to work on Rowan, Lex, and Bob as well?

Correct, as well as any NPC's that need attention too. Im hoping that Gio and Sophia can make a good example of cooperation for their fathers to follow.

Drain TN2: 10 10 05 05 05 03 02 02 02 02 01 01
That would have worked except for the clause that says that people influenced to do things that are against their will get a chance to restis like the Control Thoughts spell. Because of the vindictive flaw and the comments earlier about Akuma feeling that Medea was responsible for the deaths and not the Rosselis, I think this qualifies as agaisnt Akuma's will.
Akuma's Willpower Resits TN3: 04 03 03 02
Sophia's Attempt to back up her spell TN 4: 04 03 02 01 01 01
So, that leaves Akuma with 2 successes and the ability to break the spell. Grey -- it's your call. Technically Akuma was influenced to put the gun down, so by shaking off the spell you can keep it drawn and pointing. Gonna leave this one to you on the IC thread.
Also, FYI, it probably takes about a 1/2 hour for Gio, Sophia, and Lex to biotech and heal everyone. I'm using Lex because his biotect his higher than Gio's so they can both work together. If Gio fails the roll, Lex can try again. So, the three of you work together to try and heal everyone. Everyone can check their character records at dcrs.dashifen.com to see what their current damage level is. Blitz: Sophia to light drain one so that's why you have still have 1 box of stun. The other stun -- from the armor spells which I dropped for you as well when you started healing -- was "healed" already with a willpower roll as per the rules.
