I like the interlude fiction, but I'm not liking the fact that - once seeing the gate open - you decided for me that Reggie would just drive out into the open without being cautious. I would have stopped and dismounted and have a recon done, open doors can sometimes mean a baited trap.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well... just driving out there blindly would be asking for trouble.

Maybe just edit the last part of your post, Ophis, that Reg does not just drive through, and leave it up to Dranem (and MrJ) what they are going to do?

Cool, I was just wanting to move things on, I'll alter my post.

Tattered~Seraphim as your moving thru the undergrowth outside, make a Perecption check for me. And a Willpower test.

Summoning:
4 hits Dice
Spirit got 2 Dice
Drain resisted Dice
Extra power fear.

Sorry, just saw this after posting IC.
Perception:
Int 4 + Perception 3 = 7 dice
Rolls = 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2 = 3 hits

Willpower:
Will 3 = 3 dice
Rolls = 4, 4, 4 = 0 hits

Assuming your two mages are still spell defending. They both felt soemthing hit their spell defence moments before Alastor screamed.

Tattered~Seraphim

Sander hiding in the shadows and taking some cover

Felice's Infiltration: 3 hits

And some Perception rolls, just in case:

Visual: 4 hits
Hearing: 4 hits

Ordering spirit to get rid of them. It's not going over 500 metres away from me, so it's not a remote service. Then shifting to astral perception as a simple action.

Moonwolf, initiative for you spirit please.
Hey evrryone else can roll too if they want, but since the spirit is going out there, it definiately needs to roll.

Felice's Initiative: 18 (13 + 5 hits)

Bye
Thanee

Reg's Initiative: 10

Hey, I sent my spirit out too... Check the IC section.

Haven't got my book with me right now, but I put my spirit on remote service anyway, so he's yours What's the initiative on a spirit? Force 4 wind. It's going to be interesting as I put mine on orders to incapacitate them, and EDIT Eury's /EDIT has been told to chase them off.

I believe my initiative is my int+reactions, in which case

Initiative, int+rea (7d6=29) 2 hits.

And they don't remote service unless they go over magic*100 metres away from you any more. But anyway.

Eury: 2 hits Dice = Init 9
Spirit: 3 hits Dice = Init 17

Edit for fixing.

Add hits on initiative test to initiative score to work out initiative.
Air spirit force four 10init.

Sander's Initiative: 12
Initiative Pass: 2

Spirit initiative Spirit initiative Force 4 (10d6=39) 3 hits, 13 initiative


My initiative is 9, I already rolled for 2 hits.

Is it just my copy that says that physical air spirits have init of F*5 then?

I was wondering how you got 9 hits....

That sounds more like astral initiative levels...

Edit, While there may be a distance limit before a service becomes remote, I assume that a spirit can be ordered to treat a service as a remore one. As I only had one service from it I figured I may as well open a slot to summon a new spirit.

I am waiting for other people's actions before I act, but in case I miss them,

[Ophis]

As for the action, Felice is simply delaying, until more information is obtained about what's going on.

Apoligies for my lack of replies, I've been tied up with overtime, and RL activities. I'll sort out proper responces on the morrow when I'm more awake...
Tattered~Seraphim has been involved in much the same.

Yup. Ta Ophis for posting for me. ^_^

Okies, the two spirits will head out of the gate and breifly out of sight...
From peoples comments your holding tight for the moment. Since the spirits are under there own cognisence I'll handle there little fracas for the first round. I'll hold everyones init for the second round.

Ankle Biter since you'll have gone astral to try and destroy the mojo on Alastor as mentioned IC, there is a spell on him, make a magic+counterspelling test, the resist 3S drain.

When the spirits move out of sight, Felice will slowly advance (using Infiltration to stay hidden as much as possible), trying to see where they are headed to. She will make sure to keep in LOS to Shiver/Eury.

Hmm... does initiative really work like this?

You can delay to the last point in IP1, then in IP2, if you are first, you get to act right again? So you can make two actions right after each other, if you go first? Seems a bit weird...

Bye
Thanee

Your only allowed one action a pass. If you wait till after everyone that may count as the new pass. To be honest I'd say that you intiative resets to the new point if you act within the pass you started holding (ie if you hold till 6 you act on six on every pass). Then again I have less problem with the two actions one after the other it happens the same if your the only one with tonnes of actions, really all the actions are spread evenly across the 3 seconds... which is it's own sort of madness.

I'll run it as it stands, but usually treat a pass as over once everyone has acted, I'll allow the action, action trick if you specify the point your holding till in the past when you hold. ie you get 15 init, acting first on action declare I hold till Init 4, you get to act on 4 in the first pass and then 15 on the second. If you just hold till after everyone else youn act right at the start of pass 2. Okay guys?

Ta Thanee, that gives me am observer for the fight so I can describe it rather than just report results.

Sounds reasonable... either way, I'm not really one to misuse stuff like that, just because it is possible mechanically, anyways. Was just being curious, since it seems to be a little whacky.

Here's a repost of my rolls from the last page...

Ankle Biter
the spell is still in effect but reduced in power greatly

Tattered~Seraphim

Your penelty is down to -1 with that, you can now function fairly normally.

One spirit comabt dealt with, 1 round, your team wins. Though Eury's spirit did almost crap itself... Damn fear is almost to good a power.

Ophis


Edit, I'll get back to you on if the robed one was my spirit.

Either way, we won, so time to get me a new buddy.
My break is almost over, so I'll roll him up around 14.30 GMT

The spirit was yours anklebiter, you gave it remote service and never told it not to manifest, since some of it's powers are physical (ie not usable when astral) it chose to manifest, it sacrifices an action for a better body and reactions, so harder to kill.

sweet, time to call up a new best mate.

Crap, forgot drain on the spell breaking...

Drain for breaking spell (10d6=34) 3 hits, ping.

Scan of entrance and surrounding area using periscope + optical low light binocs.

Scan area (4d6=15) 1 hit.

Stealth test- infliltration
Agl 9 + Inf 4 = 13 dice
Rolls: 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2 = 8 hits

Perception:
Int 4 + Perception 3 = 7 dice
Rolls= 6, 6, 6, 4, 1, 1, 1 = 3 hits

I believe, Infiltration is Agility not Intuition.

Bye
Thanee

LOL, oops....... ah well, I just need to add more dice then! I was being stupid, lol!!!!!!!!
Have now corrected very very stupid moment. Blame Doctor Who and Underworld Evolution being on Seraphim's brain, and a silly typo on Alastor's char sheet.

Summon 1:
Summon (2 hits): Dice
Drain (3 hits) : Dice

Summon (2 hits): Dice
Drain (6 hits, what a waste) : Dice
