MrMiracle
I'll be watching.
Redjack
Have a safe trip.
Digital Heroin
I'm back and trying to figure out where I stand... feeble be my mind...
Thanee
I think you are all inside the building (or in the process of getting inside). Kerrigan is outside standing guard, and watching the watcher. wink.gif

Bye

I thought we are standing just outside the back door waiting for the drone to report what it sees.
Digital Heroin
I remain confused, after trying to catch up... gonna station Buscemi outside, spotter of sorts. Plus he's antsy aroung interrogations. Bad memories.
Marmot
Sorry I fell off the face of the Earth. Things came up, rocks fell, luckily I didn't die.

I'll try to get Akita back up to speed.
Redjack
Just realized I didn't roll for Bump's starting money

Redjack
Anybody seen or heard from MrMiracle. We seem to be waiting on him...??

BUMP

He's in "Ties that Bind".
(Bump, not the GM)

Speaking of Bump and missing people....
Trigger
I sent a PM MrMiracle's way and I will be moving the game on without him if he doesn't post within the next couple of days.
Thanee
Yeah, waiting more than a couple days for someone to post (it always happens, that someone will not be able to post for some reason or another), unless it is absolutely crucial to get that person's input, is usually not a good idea.

Just move one. smile.gif

Thanee
Redjack
Just for myself, if I'm gone more than four days without prior notice carry me along.
If I'm gone ten days without notice, find out where to send flowers.
-Redjack
Trigger
Well, MrMiracle was crucial as Dawna is the one interrogating the Russian and no one else was interacting with him. If I get no hit by tomorrow then I will move on with the game and really spice things up in the process.
Thanee
Ok, that certainly counts as crucial in the current situation... smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
Alright I am moving on without MrMiracle and continuing with the game.

Also, +2 karma for all of you who are still in the game.

@Redjack: I got that right (hopefully smile.gif), that Bump is using his commlink (so Kerrigan can hear what he is saying)... just wondering, because the color says 'speech', the text says 'com', though. Guess you just used that color because it's not really subvocal. biggrin.gif

Bye
Thanee
Digital Heroin
I'm gonna try and get my sorry head back into the mix of thing here... and I'm sorely tempted to leave my AIM with someone to kick me in the head should I not post regular-like... I dig the vibe of this game seriously, and dig Buscemi... my brain's been distracted a lot lately...
Trigger
No problem man, and now you know what happens when you get crucial and you are absent too long...you are liable to end up shot.

The only problem with color codes is needing one to describe everything. I adapted to Thanee's standard of yellow for coms spoken aloud and changed the quotes to < > for all coms to add clarification.
Sorry 'bout the confusion, hope this helps. biggrin.gif

Heh. The coloring I use is not that sophisticated... yellow (which I simply adopted from another game, actually) is simply what is visible on the Com (in Kerrigan's case, it is not spoken at all, neither aloud nor subvocal; DNI FTW wink.gif).

But as long as it is reasonably clear who is able to read/hear something, things are fine for me. smile.gif

BTW, cool post. smile.gif

@Amra28: Dawna has only the inklings of a pulse still. She is fading fast and has lost quite a bit of blood already.
amra28
I modified my post to reflect this.
Trigger
Please roll initiative....things got interesting biggrin.gif
amra28
Halfpast's Initiative
5,2,6,5,6,1,5,1 = 5 Hits = 13
Thanee
I'll roll for Kerrigan, too, in case she decides to go inside... and for her spirit, of course.

Kerrigan 12
Spirit of Air (astral) 14

Roll

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Bump: 9 + 4 hits = 13 (2 passes)
Digital Heroin
8 + 5 hits = 13 for Buscemi
Redjack
Are we ready to rumble here? wink.gif
Trigger
Yeah, but I am going to do the post tomorrow. Just got back from a show I did tonight and I am going to crash...so something coming your way tomorrow.
Redjack
*nudge*
Trigger
Alright, sorry about the wait, but here we go.

Spirit of Air (the one with Bump) : Initiative 15 + 5 hits: 21

Spirit of Man (the one with the Russian): Initiative 9 + 2 hits: 11

Russian: Initiatie 7 + 0 hits: 7

So the Spirit of Air is first in the round, approaching on Bump and attacks him, trying to use Engulf on him: 2 hits for the attack.
Thanee
Has Kerrigan's spirit found the russian already?

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
No, your spirit didn't. You had no clue where the Russian was, and you sent your spirit after him while he was still in the library, so your spirit went into the library after him...
Thanee
k, just checking.

Spirit will search then.
Kerrigan begins to run around the building towards the back entrance.

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Bump counters the engulf attack: 3 hits; engulf resisted.

He then spends a point of edge and counter attacks: 8 hits

DV: 1/2 Str (4) + Critical Strike (2) + 8 hits = 14
Trigger
Spirit's Dodge: 4 hits

Spirit's Resistance: 0 Hits

The spirit takes 10 Lethal damage and is disrupted back to it's home plane.
Thanee
Hey Trigger!

Not that I'm complaining, considering Kerrigan likes to use Air Spirits, too, but I'm afraid you got one of the older printings of the book where the Reaction is falsely listed as Fx4 (it's actually F+4 (added not multiplied); also initiative is F+4 for Reaction + F for Intuition or Fx2+4 in physical form, not Fx5 wink.gif).

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
Ahh, didn't know that....well, I will check the erratta before I post next time, but there is no use changing what has happened already eh?
Thanee
It didn't really help the spirit, right? wink.gif

Note: The errata also contains an error specific to Air Spirits (still, even though it has been listed in the errata thread *sigh*), it says initiative is Fx2+3, whereas it is (obviously) Fx2+4 (REA+INI).

I hope they got this right in the 4th printing of the book at least. wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Are we awaiting player posts?
Trigger
Yes, I believe so, Kerrigan's spirit of air was the next in the initiative line up....
Thanee
I think I had said what both Kerrigan and the spirit are doing (the spirit is searching the russian and when he is found will try to disable him). I can't decide that, since I don't know how long the search will take. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
Alright, Halfpast is up next then. Followed by Buscemi....
Thanee
When Kerrigan's turn comes up (12), she will run towards the back entrance (probably takes a few passes, too), as said in my last IC post. She will stay invisible (sustaining the spell).

Bye
Thanee
amra28
Halfpast will continue to apply pressure to Dawna's wound while keeping an eye out for any trouble coming his way.
Trigger
Well, if you have it you can try and make a First Aid check to help her stabilize
amra28
No first aid, so Halfpast will just hang out until someone better qualified shows up.
Trigger
Alright then, now it is Buscemi's turn....
