Cool. Lets see how this goes.

Wonder if Sledge and the boys are going to hang around outside long enough for Fort to walk outside and see her surrounded.

Sadly, all Sledge is trying to do is make a beer and food run for everyone. Result? One dead ganger. And that was just walking out the door.

Hmm, I can see Fort walking into the scene and saying, "Hey guys, seen any rope?"...

Sorry I posted into the IC thread accidently. I'll fill it in later.

I've been quiet (and busy) the last few days, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm still around and checking up on this thread.

Will probably put together something meaningless for Adam before long, but until then, enjoy the silence of a sugar(-lips)-free afternoon.

who needs meat puppets when you can just use magic and make the chick do whatever you want and then forget all about it.

Ok, got a deadline and a last minute crisis, so we'll see what I can squeeze in today.

Posted the PMed conversation that me and JD were working on. Might continue it more if nothing breaks into the convo.

@DR
After your last post, I could see a slight pause as the gangers think it over. Sorta a standoff situation that lasts until something breaks it.
"So, you feelin' lucky, punks?"

le sigh.

Can't even go get a beer without having to stomp someone.

That last IC post - I wasn't feeling any urge to exercise my descriptive powers - damned thing double-posted on me, forcing me to wax poetic to fill the second post.

Okay - I promised a karma point to the first two players to do that conversation experiment between themselves. So that's one point each for Konsaki and JD.

Sledge angry now. You do not want Sledge angry. Do not make Sledge angry. Angry Sledge not nice.

Based on the last incident Sledge went through involving people with starry badges ...

Adamu

@DR - Nice line. :-)

JD

Hey wiki people there are some kool new things you can do on wiki spaces, check em out.

https://www.wikispaces.com/changes

I think the best thing is the TEMPLATES!! Make a template page and then you can use it to make new pages, like character sheets or maps or whatever.

The variable thing looks like it could be useful to for nerdy reasons. No more stepping on each others toes by editing over each other. Now if two people are trying to edit or look at a page they will know..

I also posted this in the general discussion board if you wanna talk about this stuff over there.

Sorry folks if I'm holding things, work work work. I'll get something in to keep things moving soon

Your not the only one who could be doing stuff.

Dire

Initiative, attack and reaction tests, soaks, the whole shmear.

Only need enough to cope with Mr. Deputy for the nonce, then we'll see how things progress.

Adamu

The infamous cross posts

DireRadiant

All right - the long and the short of it is that he does attack you with the knife, but you totally parry. His five buddies ready a collection of chains, pipes and knives, but do not move in.
You attack, but he avoids your attack as well.

I assumed you would use your reach bonus defensively during the pass you defended and offensively in the pass you attacked. Let me know if that is not true.

As long as you are fighting with your back to the (sec system-armed) van you are at a -1 or -2 penalty for all that you do. It fluctuates, so just roll and I'll take off dice.

You are free to IC or wait for a more substantive resolution.

If you do IC, as you know the time should be 42:13.

EDIT: OOPS - duh - need the next set of rolls.

Sledge sees a giant snake demon come out of the hotel, flaming shotgun in hand.

Need declarations and rolls.

Adamu, I edited in the rolls.

Second Combat Turn Resolution -

Ganger fails to stab his way through Sledge's full parry.

Snake demon shows up wielding flaming shotgun (how does a snake hold a gun?).

Gangers that were holding back to see how their leader fared notice snake demon approaching and flee in a scattered panic.

Gang lieutenant apparently doesn't notice, concentrating on fighting the ork.

Sledge fails to connect with her hammer.

Need rolls, etc for Combat Turn 3.

You guys can feel free to IC this far, or wait for further resolution.

3rd Combat Turn Resolution

Deputy drives a weaving knife attack under Sledge's guard and she narrowly pulls her head away from a face slash. Not quite far enough, though, hampered as she is by the inability to retreat backwards. The ganger's blade draws a line of red across her cheek (not enough to cause a game-terms wound, but lets her know he's closing in.

The snake demon shouts "Hey Posse" in an obvious bid to distract him. He does spare a glance that way, but still easily ducks a sledge hammer swing.

He then does a double-take, however (SNAKE DEMON!?), and back pedals away from the fight far enough to risk a 360 spin to see that his fellows have fled and be in a position where both the ork and and the snake are in his field of vision.

Dunno what he'll do next, but at the top of your list of rolls to make, Dire, is your free interception attack.

After that it's business as usual, although if you want to keep fighting him you'll have to close about three meters distance (unless your intercept hit him, in which case he never gets to look around).

Also, Dire, you've fought him enough to know that he only gets one pass, so no need to keep rolling those second-pass defensive rolls; I'm only using the attack roll.

As soon as your guard is down, he'll turn on his wired reflexes!

Adamu

Well, he avoided the Intercept attack, so all his actions stand.

Dire, since you are still fighting I guess that means you covered the intervening distance. So you are out in the open now - I'll no longer be deducting dice from your rolls, and you'll no longer be dreading knock-back.

pragma - waiting on your stuff before I resolve rest of this new combat turn, but note that Sledge yells, "Mine! Stay away!"
