Done and done,

Logic - 2, to be added to the roll above: # dice: 4 :: 1 1 5 3 -- 1 success

Cool, Vegas, "Jun" can heal a box of physical. which is nice.

Hey people anyone looking round the room can make a perception+int+any visual modifiers. Threshold is 5. Tell me if you hit it.

JW will glance around the room after he's done patching up Jun.

Int + Perception + Vision Enhancers # dice: 10 :: 1 5 4 5 5 2 3 2 6 6 -- 5 successes
-- Holy shit, he sees it. Hell of a roll.

Toobit's perception check:

6,5,3,2,2,3 = 2 Hits

Dark Horse's Perception Test

Int + Perception + Vision Enhancers # Dice 11 :: 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 4 3 1

8 hits

from now on, I think I'll make all my rolls here at work. I think FEAR of somebody hearing me roll dice is my good luck charm.

Christ on a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice roll.

A couple of pointers on how I run things...

One I like lists of the numbers on dice rolled. If I'm taking of modifiers you are unaware of I take off from the right so don't list them highest to lowest, pick them up from once side of the dice splatter and list them in the order you pick them up. It stops me working from the left instead

Two and this is the biggie. In combat I do the posting. We handle intiative etc here I post an order everyone posts the ooc side of their actions rolls and what they're doing. Once everything is sorted I post a cool action sequence in the IC thread. It keeps things tidy and means we don't get redundant IC posts. If you have a cool description you want posting send me it in a PM and I'll work it in.

Thank you for your time.

Perception+int+vision enhance + 6+4+3= 13

3,3,1,5,3,5,6,1,6,2,5,6,5 = 7 hits

I'd make a roll myself, but I figure all this is happening simultaneously to my assensing the room and assensing the girl, which I'm still waiting on the results of.

pragma - if you do start to take the girl up to Wing's "landy" (Landcruiser?), Flat will probably motion for you to hang on a second. Once I do a general Assensing, I DEFINITELY want to take an action to do Psychometry on her.

You've got several rounds while first aid gets performed, that's why JW encouraged folks to run ahead and kill appropriate cultists.

@Ophis:

On a mildly related note, is the agent turning up anything?

Yes to most questions. Will post full answers later tonight.

ok. I'll have Dark Horse go over to the place where he sees the markings on the floor and search for the door.

what do I need to roll for that?

No worries about rolls with 8 hits you'll see it, just do in IC 'kay.

ok. I did an IC. I wasn't sure what its going to take to open this 'door', so I left that part open ended.

Adamu - Jun is hurt and scared, confused as hell, slightly angry, and a grade two initiated shamen of Sun.

oh and landy is short for Landrover, basically a a big 4x4 type thing, with some class for being British

Okay, assuming then that my Knowledge skill test on the oily feeling came back "no idea," and that my perception test for spirits or other astral threats also came up nada.

So next, I will be doing psychometry on the room to get as much info as possible about what happened here - there is a whole list of mods I won't mess with since I can't be sure about most of them.

Just rolling my base dice -
Intuition + Assensing + Specialization + Initiate Grade + Adept Power = 23 dice
1 2 6 1 1 1 4 6 6 6 1 2 5 5 6 1 5 5 1 4 4 5 4 = 10 successes

On the car - those vehicles on the Wikipedia page you kindly linked me to look a bit cramped for five tricked-out Shadowrunners plus two extractees plus maybe a "prisoner." So I assume I also brought my own car...If that is a problem just let me know.

No problem, Landrovers are actually quite big, the one I linkied was the one that looked closest to what Wing has it can seat about 7 in three rows 2-3-2.

The oily feeling is probably a result of the corruption of astral space. No spirits in the room, you are right there. I'll have you psychometry results in a mo.

Ok. I'm going to open up the secret door. And follow it to where it leads.

Is anybody going to follow me? I'll post an IC about it.

TEAM - Okay, one of those "we don't know each other and have not talked about leadership and no one wants to step on anyone's toes but we gotta keep this moving things."
So Mr. Doormat has committed to hot pursuit through the secret door, and I have committed to taking Jun to my car to try and get a two-pronged chase going.
Now everyone else can decide which they'd like to follow and we will be in motion!

OPHIS - Don't know whether you want my academic Magical Theory skill, or my street Astral Phenomena skill, but they are each 10 dice, so I'll just roll once and you can apply as appropriate or amalgamate...?

With this knowledge test, just want to confirm that - psychometry supposedly picking up past impressions, the direct communication I just experienced must have either (A) been left there intentionally or (B) transmitted in real time, both of which would imply EXTREME power levels? Or do I know of any other explanation?

6 5 3 5 3 3 5 2 3 3 = 4 successes

Also, with my knowledge skills, is it reasonable that Flat knows the basics of the info on Shadow Spirits as outlined in Street Magic?

Trying not to IC too far ahead of the other team. Let me know if I have the green light to hit the van or if I should hold up and keep chatting with the charming lady (who is probably also the devil or something).

Also -- the agent turn up anything?

pragma - since we have established that my car is also here, I think we should use that one... since it's my car...and also cuz it has lotsa clothes in it, since I live in it.

(Assuming most female elves can get ill-fittedly into the khakis and sports shirts of an average-sized human male. Haven't heard any counter-to-FRPG-naked-elf-chick-stereotype descriptors about Jun's body size...)

Note to everyone in case there was any misunderstanding - Flat is neither a spellcaster nor a conjuror.

pragma and everyone - have we established what sort of team commnet we have established? I assume we all have decently firewalled and encrypted commlinks, and that we are all on each others' scopes? Coordinated by JW? Anyone NOT linked up via AR?

Ophis - I'm with pragma on settling for small talk until we get a green light from you on making it to the car without incident.

*hides Jun's red eyes and fangs for the time being*

She's harmless... no really!

Adamu - She's "Stereotypical Elven Chick" as far as height goes, perhaps a little bit more muscled than a dainty elf, but most likely worst case scenario is that she'd swim in a sports shirt (like a chick wearing her boyfriends) and the pants might be more like capris

Can i get a confirmation on which way Pragma is going please.

Adamu - I'm cool with you reaching the van, as I presume the pursuit team will be moving carefully.

Can I get perception tests for the team going thru the door visual and audio please.

Hey, I tend to be the one who leads things IRL, so I thought it'd make a change for me...

audio perception = int+perception+audio enhance 3 = 13 dice
1,3,5,3,2,6,6,3,1,3,3,6,3 = 4 hits

visual perception = int+perception+visual enhance 3 = 13 dice
2,6,6,4,3,5,6,4,5,3,4,6,2 = 7 hits

JW is going with Jun and Flat to the van/car.

Visual Perception = Int + Perception + Visual Enhancement
5,3,5,1,4,4 = 2 Hits


Audio Perception = Int + Perception + Audio Enhancement
3,6,1,1,6,2,6 = 3 Hits

Re: Network

Here's how I was envisioning team network:

All communications routed through my comm. so that I can encrypt them and keep an eye out for hostile network traffic. (Encrypt 6, for reference). Everyone has the appropriate public/private keys.

I assume that we're all sharing our own locations to the team network (commlinks, if I remember correctly, remember where they are) which allows us to build a map of where we all are. If I'm misremembering, JW doing the scanning should be enough.

JW seems to be running everything on a beat up meta-link, but five minutes observation will reveal something else is going on. There's probably another commlink somewhere and some funny commcode spoofing going on.

@adamu

Is Flat asking about the cultists or our team members?

@Ophis

Has the agent turned up anything?

Nothing amazingly useful yet, but feel free to keep reminding me so i don't forget.

pragma - either or both, actually. The targets so we can chase them down, our team so we can do it in a pincer movement.

And thanks for the network info - I really didn't want to be leaving my own Scan program running...

So, once we hook up with the team, I'm still hoping to combine foot and mounted pursuit. But since my car probably won't really hold all six of us, is Wing's Landy set up for JW (or Wing) to remote pilot it to the exit point?

The landy doesn't have any sort of rigger adaption, sorry

Oh well, like I said, mixed pursuit!

Toobit will be providing 4 dice of counterspelling for Dark Horse, Wing and any others coming down the hallway with him.

While not rigger adapted, Wing (or anyone she allows) can activates the Landy's pilot to follow the car.

*looks sheepish*

Cool - just in case the foot pursuit goes cold.

pragma - can you have JW do that remotely so we don't have to backtrack IC?

Hey all - I will be unable to get online for the next three or four days. The last thing I want to do is hold up the game. Flat will mostly just follow JW's lead, and if rolls need to be made, well, obviously Ophis has my sheet. Be back ASAP.

Cool thanks for the warnings. I just jigger with the timings for stuff I had worked out. the team in the tunnels can feel free to emerge...

Okay tunnel team initiative. The rest of you will arrive in time for turn two. Weapons are stowed and Wing needs to take a Standad action to emerge, Toobit needs 2 standard actions. Post actions and rolls here, leave actual descriptions to me, but feel free to send me your ideas/texts for actions and I'll fit it together.

My turn to toss up my "away message"

Basically I am gonna be out of pocket and mostly away from computers starting possibly as early as Wed. and until Tues. of next week. I have a local con this weekend and I have a show that I'm doing on Monday that is a really big deal for my personal business so.... yeah. GM's feel free to heard my characters along if necessary. I'll try to pop on when I can, but I make no promises, hence me stating I'll be out for a week.

Sorry for those that see this multiple times.

Thats cool, ta for the warning. Jun can pass out for a bit due to stress.

Wings initiative = 13 dice, 5 hits, 18 initiative, 3 passes.

First pass will be taken up by getting outside and readying my weapon.

Toobit's initiative = 2,2,4,1,5,3 = 7 (1 pass)

Dark Horse's initiative: 11 dice :: 1 4 3 5 1 6 6 5 4 1 5 = five hits

Initiative Score = 16(2 passes)

Dark Horse will look for cover and ready his weapon.

[EDIT]
If it isn't too late, I'd like to warn the others about what I've seen.

@Ophis

I'm wondering where the van is with respect to the current action. My operating assumption is that you'll put us into the scene when it is necessary.

Also, has the agent turned up anything yet?
