Just waiting on Dranem...

I'll give him a couple of days then move on.

I'm about to be away for about a week (starting tomorrow night). Rome then LARPing in a field. If Dranem hasn't posted by then I'll go on without him.

Have fun!
Rome and larp- I'm jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, have fun on your trip, Ophis!

Bye
Thanee

I've finally got back. I'll move stuff on tomorrow.

Sorry... I have no excuse why I haven't checked this...
Scanning for a car's remote transponder: Electronics(4) Scan(5)=9 dice
3 hits

Initiative:
8 dice
6 hits

Initiative order

Sniper
Fellice
Alastor

Spirit
Rest of bad guys
Eury (In his normal position...)

You'll see what the sniper does in a bit.
Fellice to declare etc.
Standard action to open a door as previously. Though You can stay behind it for cover (+4 dodge -1 all attacks).

Umm still waiting for Thanee.

Sorry, have been a lil busy lately and didn't really check the forum... will make a post tomorrow after getting myself reacquainted with the situation at hand.

Bye
Thanee

As stated in the IC, Felice opens the door and gets her weapon ready while moving to the side away from the baddies for cover.

Bye
Thanee

Alastor up next.

Sorry bout the insanely long wait for this. It's been an odd and tiring week, and it's taken me til now to get my head clear enough to be able to post. But hopefully now my time's been freed up a hell of a lot more compared to before.

Right, on with the show.


~~~~~

Close behind Felice, Alastor follows suit to get out of the van, using it as cover. In one hand he grabs the bag with the orb in it, and in the other he readies a gun. As he evacuates the van, he tries to keep the orb behind as much cover as possible.

Okay Reggie?

If my first attempt to find some new wheels was unsuccessful then I'm going to try again, this time I'll give it a little more juice:

Threading: Resonance + Electronics = 9 Dice
2 Hits (darn what hoping for more juice)
Drain: 9 Dice
4 Hits (At least I don't hurt form it)

Scanning for more wheels:
Electronics (4) + Scan (5) + Threading (2) = 11 Dice
2 Hits

Ok, this isn't getting me anywhere... Sigh!
If we weren't about to be attacked and needing to be mobile, I'd be tempted to drop to VR...

No that would be enough to find some wheels, it may not be perfect but it's an unoccupied four wheeled vehicle of some sort.

System ratings 4 for breaking into it.

*smiles* Ah, there we are.. now lets see how long it's going to take to crack this baby's firewall to take control of the autopilot.
Umm... *goes through a list of subrouties* Command, Spoof, hmm... Exploit would probably be the best bet.

Hacking (3) + Exploit (5) = 8 dice
1 Hit
This might take some time... next turn I get I'll amp it up a bit with some Threading and try again.

The spirit is waiting.

One of the attackers speaks, the others spread out and cover the area.

See IC.

Then Eury, then Thanne and Al in pass 2.

Using spell defense on the entire group, calling in the fire spirit, sending spirit of man to cause havoc with influence and confusion.

Moonwolf roll 2*force for the spirit. I presume he's signalling the team to wait for the spirit to take effect. I so we'll see where we are after the roll and you can run. Also what orders is djinn getting (clue if it's the same as the angel, call it the order them both).

Rolling 10d6 6 hits!

I have to call the fire spirit from metaplanar storage first, unless they've taken that out, in which case, yeah, disrupt them too.

Okay, we'll call this a new round... and the delay will have given Reggie enough time to have that car hacked and on it's way.

We'll stick with the initiatives above Spirits on 14 (angel) and 13 (djinn)

Felice then Alastor.

That sniper's still a problem, eh?
Well I'll message the team that a new set of wheels is on the way.. lets just hope we can can manage this without being easy target practice.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY, UNDER ICY WINGS!

Wow, two years already. Happy Birthday!

Bye
Thanee

Good job, Eury!

Felice will turn around the van, staying in cover (and approximate full cover to the sniper), while unloading on another guy who has a grenade launcher.

Long Burst, Short Burst, Gel Rounds (I think that's what I loaded currently... would have to check back to make sure, tho).

Mods?

Bye
Thanee

normal recoil, -2 for shooting from cover, -2 for visibility.

k

Expect a post from me later today.

Bye
Thanee

Not too bad, this is gonna hurt a bit.

Target is an attacker with assault rifle+grenade launcher (not the one who's shooting their own guys, of course).

Long Burst: 7 hits (Gel Rounds; Base DV 12S, Resisted with Impact+2, Knockdown vs. Body-2)
Short Burst: 3 hits (Gel Rounds; Base DV 9S, Resisted with Impact+2, Knockdown vs. Body-2)

Bye
Thanee

Well he's out for the count. Alastor's turn.

What your up against

One guy with AR+GL
One Guy with SMG
Sniper with ?

Does that include the guy influenced by Eury's spirit?

Anyways, looks a lot more manageable now.

Bye
Thanee

Sorry for being rubbish at posting- been one of those weeks that's somehow vanished.

Alastor's going to follow Felice's lead and shoot at the SMG guy, using as much cover as he can get. The orb bag over his shoulder now, Alastor takes aim and shoots, using ex exp ammo in his one readied pred.

1st shot:
Ag+Pistols+spec.h.p-1wp-2vis-2cover:
Rolls= 6+5+5+1+1+2+4+6+5+2+5= 6 hits

2nd shot: (as above)
Rolls= 6+6+6+2+2+1+4+2+1+1+4 = 3 hits

~~~~~

Utilizing the fact that the remaining guy with the AR was busy picking on one of his own teammates, Alastor focuses his attention on the guy with the SMG. Following Felice's lead, he shoots at him, using as much cover as possible. The orb, 'safe' in its bag over his shoulder, he takes aim, his lips a thin straight line as he focuses on the shot, extra explosive ammo, as usual, loaded in his trusted pred. These guys meant business, and hanging back to try not to kill but rather just take someone out would just get someone, on his own team, killed.

hahahahahahaha!

Sorry as a ref I'm amused as the next action is going to upset Alastor and Felice's ideas about what Influence does (it's a one shot suggestion...)

Alastor has felled the last remaining guy.

The final enemy is tuning, aiming and firing a minigrenades at the van.

Everyone dodge reactions as +2 due to cover. Each hit gives you 1 meters worth of "distance". Just roll one dodge for both.

spot on near the van doors.

If everyone can also give me a soak with body+impact+2

Luckily your soft characters are further away.

Gah! Sorry guys for being stupid! Have incl. wp.

Dodge:
Rolls = 3+1+5+6+1+5+1+5= 4 hits

Damage:
Rolls=4,2,2,6,1,1,3,5,2,6,5= 4 hits

Felice has no idea what Influence does, she just reacts to what she has seen, and when that one guy is shooting their own, she will rather shoot at another target, because chances are that he keeps doing that. Or not, but the other guy will shoot us for sure.

Reaction+2-1 -> 3 hits
Body+Impact+2 -> 8 hits (tough girl! )
Roll (Doh! Forgot to add the '.hits(5)'; counting the old-fashioned way)

Bye
Thanee

P.S. I'm reaonably sure Felice has a -1 wound penalty from physical damage still... forgot to add that in during the shooting (would have been 1 box less for the poor guy, probably no difference in the result, I guess). I really should write that down somewhere, where it's easier to find...

Dodging:
7 dice = 3 Hits)
So that gives 3 meters of 'cover distance' from the blast.

Body(3) + Impact(6) + 2= 11 dice
4 Hits worth of soaked damage.

Wasn't sure if I should have been adding the full bonus to these rolls, seeing as Reg is a little distracted in calling the new set of wheels to the team's location, so feel free to truncate these rolls should you feel it better suit the situation.

Dodge 1 hit

Soak 5 hits

results...

Eury - 3P
Reggie - 2P
Alastor - 3P
Felice - 0P

I'm giving Felice an Edge point back for having a grenade go off next to her and only getting some cuts and bruises.

IC post will be up in a mo.

Eury spirits, and Eury next please.

Man spirit confusion 3 hits

Fire spirit melee 5 hits

Eury manabolt (Force 5)1 hit Woo

Soak drain 4 hits No drain.

Well he's bouncing all of those. Will amend the IC post.

Do you ever get the feeling we're passing a screen between us.

Reggie, control your police car I presume...
Felice up for pass two.

Woohoo!


IC: < Felice: Uh oh, a police car is closing in, lights and sirens off. >

Focusing on the last guy with a grenade launcher, not wanting to test her luck again against such a dangerous weapon, Felice brings her SMG to bear once more, but she is still a little disoriented from the grenade impact, despite having soaked it remarkably well, and her aim is way below her usual standards.

Long Burst 0 hits ( )
Short Burst 2 hits ( base DV 9S, incl. short burst and gel rounds )
ROLL

Bye
Thanee

Cool! a cruiser! Hmmm... well if we have any un-attended foes, I'd like a quick 1-round hoot of the siren to put them off balance before clipping them with the cruiser and having the vehicle stop in back of the van - giving as much cover as possible to dash to the cruiser. Otherwise I'm going to avoid as many bodies laying on the ground as possible.

On this turn (or my next depending on how much time) I'll enact the following... I wasn't sure if this will come before or after Felice's note, so I'll place it in IC as appropriate, or you can place it in the action post.

Reg Blinks for a moment, she was so concentrated on hacking the car, she hadn't checked the network ID of the device. Giving a sheepish grin she transmits the message.
<[SilverSurfr]: Who wants to ride shotgun? I got us some new wheels!

Alastor, lets not let the pace drop here people

Felice wings the guy with the first shot (he got 0 hits too...) and misses with the second.

IC going up.

Sorry bout lack of postage, I'm now ready to jump in properly.

Seeing that Felice failed to get the last guy standing, Alastor will use the distraction (hopefully more of the other guy) of the incoming Police car to take aim at him.

1st shot: (-2wp, -2vis)
Rolls: 1,1,2,4,4,5,5,4,5,3,4,5 = 4 hits

2nd shot: (same)
Rolls: 4,1,6,5,2,4,6,4,6,6,4,1 = 5 hits

Well he's down. Feel free to post IC freely, I'll interrupt on behalf of the sniper if appropriate. have fun and keep your heads down .

Heal self: 8 dice 4 hits Full heal.

Drain: 11 dice 4 hits No drain.

Heal Reggie: 8 dice 4 hits 4 boxes.

Drain: 11 dice 2 hits No drain.

Heal Alastor: 8 dice 1 hits 1 box.

Drain: 11 dice 2 hits No drain.

IIRC Felice only got some first aid, but no magical healing yet. She sustains 2 boxes of physical damage.

Bye
Thanee

I had 4 boxes of physical damage, so that means I'm all healed up, right?

Dranem: Yes, Reggie is fine now.

Healing Felice: 6 dice 1 hit Silly essence loss
