Doggies (both) and they should be on the opposite side of where Rex is-trying to get them in crossfire.

Invisible Castle has upgraded their site. Dice Rolling now supports "hits" and "hitsopen"

nd6.hits(5) : This will roll n dice and count the hits (a hit defined as a d6 roll of 5+)
Example: 5d6.hits(5) → [5,5,6,2,6] = (4)

nd6.hitsopen(5,6) : This will roll n dice and count the hits (a hit defined as a d6 roll of 5+). It will also add an extra die for any value of 6.
Example: 7d6.hitsopen(5,6) → [[6, 6, 3],4,1,4,4,3,5] = (3)

It also supports linking rolls by campaign. Please use Campaign of Puyallups

Ok, kvasac is taking back Rex forever more. He also just got a promotion and might be a little scarce this month. (Congrats again!)

Any knowledge skills that I can throw at recognizing the name?

Thanks. I'll try to keep steady amount of posts. Also, Rex will spend all the time aiming while Carter talks.

Didn't see any applicable for Carter on his character sheet..

Hey RedJack and all. Sorry again that I had to bail from the game.

I read along my team's IC posts today (first time I log on to DS in 6+ months) and I'm happy to see that things went on and that my character has even been taken up by a new player. I just felt like dropping to say hi. And RJ you're doing a great job GMing this.

Ok that was all I'm out again.

I have been real happy with the game. Some changing of the guard in the intervening months, but great role-playing.

I just wanted to know if I had anything before coughing...

I had to read that twice before remembering the last statement from Rex.... HAHAHAHA

Readying action to dodge/dive for cover when Rex shoots.

RJ can you resend me Rex's sheet?

Done.

Ok, I have 11 dice with Rex and 7 with Jake's drones. Any modifiers (cover, aiming)?

Doberman [ R:4; P4; S:3; F:3 ]
- Autosoft: Clearsight [ R3 ]
- Autosoft: Targeting [ R3 ]
- Autosoft: Maneuver [ R3 ]
- Weapon ingram smartgun x + 100 regular rounds
Firewall [ R6 ]



Doberman [ R:4; P3; S:3; F:3 ]
- Autosoft: Clearsight [ R3 ]
- Autosoft: Targeting [ R3 ]
- Autosoft: Maneuver [ R3 ]
- Weapon:fn har assault rifle + 100apds rounds
Firewall [ R6 ]

Rex gets a max aiming bonus equal to 1/2 his weapon skill.
Agility(6) + Automatics(5) + Specialization[SMG](2) + Reflex Recorder(1) + Aiming(3) + Range(negated by Vision Magnification) + Attacker firing from cover(-2) + Smartgun(2)

If you fire a burst, you need to choose Wide Burst(+2 to hit) or Narrow Burst(+2DV).
He can fire 2 bursts per combat action. He has 4 points of recoil compensation so the second shot has Recoil(-2) and of course the aiming will have expired.

The dobermans have Pilot(4) + Targeting(3) = dp7; Pilot(3) + Targeting(3) = dp6;
Jake has no gunnery skill so I wouldn't recommend jumping into the drones, rather just issuing commands.

Kvasac - How goes the new promotion? Time to sneak in a post? Was the detail about enough?

Two more days and I'll make rolls and post. I promise.
Thanks for the patience.

Rex, 6 hits
Drone 1, 5 hits
Drone2, 3 hits

This will be messy...

You rolled with hitsopen, instead of hits. The former indicates the spending of edge. You can only spend edge for your actions, not those you delegate... so the edge does not apply for the dobermans.

I guess I am still tired and all. I've been working for 12hours or more for past two weeks I'll rol again and do things right.
Rex, 6hits
drone1, 3hits
drone 2, 2hits

Messy...

If Carter finds the commlink, what tests do you want to make a "backup" copy of the PDA section--appointments, contact phone numbers, etc. The plan is to copy the data onto his own commlink and then ditch the link.

Also from a data recovery standpoint, is it reasonable for Carter to believe that a gunshot to the commlink will do a good enough job at destroying the data? Not trying to beat the system entirely, but to get the basic effect of a bullet through a modern hard drive.

Make a hardware(2) test.

Nil hardware skill. Was that for the copy or the knowledge?

Ok, the Russian doesn't flinch when told to hand over his admin code for the com. His morale is fully shattered.
Insuring you get everything off the com will require a software(2) test. Accessing, using the com and a standard backup are all things generally done by users and require no test.
Carter knows its possible to destroy a com and have the data irretrievable. He also knows that some of the guys in his former life have done an amazing job retrieving data. Being sure that it is destroyed in a fashion that makes it irretrievable will require a hardware(2) test.

Making a standard backup, putting a few rounds in it and praying the Vory don't have access to high caliber facilities and data specialists.

General plan is to let the kid go, if he dies before medical assistance arrives, that's too bad. Then, start driving and get directions from the Russian as to where we can find Yavanna.

What I wouldn't do for a Laes cigarette at this point....

I guess the question is... What is Carter gonna do?

Carter will let him go, hopefully in the same condition as the kid.

Kvasac/Jake--can you put two slugs in him from the drone with the rifle?

Kvasac/Rex--Now's your chance, Carter won't stop you from shanking him.

Drones are packed up but Rex will do the dirty job.

Howdy! Grayson the man of many faces is back!

Welcome back Sparky--this means we don't have to shoot Grayson as a traitor.

You could still shoot him... Once, just for good measure....

Given our forum makeover, we should consider a non-black color for text comms. I don't have any preferences or suggestions.

I think Jake is more intelligent than that...

Seeing if you were paying attention

But that does beg the question. Do you pull over and retrieve the roto-drone or set a pace utilizing its max speed?

Retrieve. Fuel costs, you know... And then-pedal to the metal.
I'll try to pay attention to those details in the future.

Sparky is traveling on business and didn't post before she left... 2 demerits for her... I'll give her a few days to post in.

Guess we'll wait a few more days...

My understanding is that she didn't get home until last night.

Late Friday, in fact. And under a huge backlog of work. I'd swear I mentioned it to you in IM, Red. Apologies.

Though, admittedly, I still don't know what to do.

Judge Intentions (INT + CHA): 7 dice
[6] [5] 4 3 1 1: 2 hits

Body Language (4 + LOG): 8 dice
[6] [5] 4 3 2 2 1 1: 2 hits

Rolls

To clarify, Carter sent the message to Grayson/Greer's commlink. I don't think we were givern Jack's LTG. (My reason for stating that it was never returned is because i knew OOC that the commlink was fried.)

Ah... well, hmm, maybe Grayson did some fancy-work for while he was using the Jack Thompson identity to forward Grayson's contact info to the comm...?

This is my understanding as well. Carter sent the message to Grayson. The message is still sitting on a shadow server waiting to be picked up once Grayson/Greer gets his comlink fixed.

All right. Editing.

Ummm, I thought we were approaching on foot with the cars parked about half a block down the street.

Editing

Team--Sorry for the lack of posts this week. A new writing project fell into my lap which I need to have a rough draft by this weekend for. Unfortunately that needs to take priority for me. Thank you for your patience and expect a post from me this weekend.
