Are you going to put the rest of your post up then Mysterio? I havent finished it for you because to be honest I wasnt sure what you were doing with that carbon copy paper.

and on a seperate note... whens the London campaign starting? straight after this one or sometime soon?

I figured the carbon paper that is covering the desk represents a copier program to my deck.
I also left it open in case you wanted me to roll for my "escape" route

My last post doesn't accomplish much of practical value except to show that I'm still involved and interested, which given my lack of activity might be needed.

I also want to make it known that Ace does have a 3 in both the Chinese and Japanese languages, should it be important.

But... strangely, he doesn't have English. Silver, I must have brainfarted and assumed some sort of native language house rule; do you want me to remedy this?

yes please!

We've left the action at the point where Ace goes to get the plane so that Silver can throw a spanner in the works - if he feels so inclined!!!!

Note from DB. He's broken a metacarpel in his right hand - clumsy!! He's relying on his aged P ) me - to do the typing, yet again.

He says he will start the London run as soon as we finish this one, to avoid cross-overs in characters.

I've seen some elements of the Plot - You'll like it!!!!! Not!

What is needing is an IC post from Ace. What I am needing is time. IC post from Ace will be making tomorrow. Sorry for delaying. V. tired, work related.

Also required is a note from the Boss, I think, as to whether Lady Jane sails on the midnight tide or not.
No point getting the plane if the Lady don't sail.

Just to let you guys know... I will be going on holiday first thing Saturday morning until the 10th... so I will probably put my last post up on Friday night

DB is at work so I'm flying solo.
I've made a few assumptions and if I'm wrong, just ignore the post.

Rakshasa...you're a hell of a writer. Bravo!

ok, that will probably be my last post until about the 11th... feel free to add in whatever your charecters are doing to prepare and how the team is going to hit the ship, when I get back I will (hopefully) roll out the fight sequence to see what happens with sailers etc...

See you after my holiday!

Have a good one!

I didn't really need to know where you got your inspiration....*L*

Seeoh's TriD Phantasm Spell - Observed

Target = 4

Dice available = 9 (7 + 2 Totem Bonus)

1, 2, 3,3,4,5,5,10,11 = 5 Successes

Drain Resistance = 8 Die (6 + 2 Spell Pool)

3,3,4,4,5,5,5,5

Net Drain = Zero Drain

It occurred to me, whilst taking a walk in my garden (is that better? that the hydrofoil, Lady Jane, is a top of the range, all mod con ship.
She'll have computer navigation and, probably, computer controlled helm and other functions, even, pehaps, down to the engines.

Question is, can those systems be accessed from a plane flying overhead?

Seeoh's Improved Invisibility Spell

Target = 4

Dice available = 9 (7 + 2 Totem Bonus)

1, 1, 3,4,4,5,7,11,15 = 6 Successes

Drain Resistance = 6 Die (Willpower only)

1,3,3,4,5,6 = 5 successes

Net Drain = Zero Drain

Absailing down to Ship

Athletics Test = 4 die = 3,4,5,5

Note: Elephant, Elephant one - two etc, is an Actor's way of counting second between bows to the Audience.

HERES JONNY!!!!

Back from my holiday...fully destressed (although that wont last long) and a tan to die for!!

And in responce to Rakshasa's thoughts about it being a fully automatic boat, the answer is yes it is, the ship I worked on last year was... all the engineers did unless something went wrong was watch the computer screens! but you wouldnt be able to access it from the plane overhead because it is an enclosed system, the only things that aren't are the radio signals which have nothing to do with the computers... now if a decker were to get on board however.....

"..at the hole.."

Is that before or after Seeoh drops through?

or is it `into' the hole, which means they'd have to be either standing on the cabin roof or `swinging in the rigging' to get a downward angle - perfect targets for the Orc!!

they are inside the bridge firing up at the hole above them, they are kneeling down and firing up from behind desks and things....

and it all went quiet....

This was too easy... that's bad... very bad... *gulp*

Or maybe you were just lucky on the rolls?!

No, I'm just saying... the fear that the drek will hit the fan after all goes well is strong.

Yeah, like: What's the cargo?!?!?

Well all is silent from down below... so maybe you should go look!

Ace now has a fair idea exactly who the people were he had trouble with earlier... and he also realises that something must have happened between the "accident" and the hardware being installed.

Oh, snap. Do I get any prize for guessing who the Asian guy is?

OK, what are the sensors like on the Osprey? I want to do an active sensor test.

The sensor suite is pretty standard.... just refer to your R3 book.

Boss, I'll let you figure how healed Bluebird is, seeing as she's you.

Heal/4 M 10 - Essence P 2(wound level)

Bluebird is now down from a Serious wound to a moderate wound... it will still hurt like hell though!

There are a couple of frigets in the local area... but you can see that there is a ship leaving harbour at the moment, which could be heading you way in the next 10-15 minutes

I am assuming we've all but lost Greasy right?

I dont honestly know! if he is around I am sure he will post... and when he does it can make it a long one!! Sorry I have been quiet... had my girlfriend around the last few days

In case there's a medkit, here's Ace's First Aid roll: 02 01 03 Damn.

At least with rolls like that I know your not cheating!!

I am suprised you guys are all bailing out due to Bluebird... after all, her wounds have been stablised and theres all that money!!

I dont have my Shadowrun books with me... so can I have a resistance test please for the mighty Flip taking hits from an Enfield shotgun and an Uzi? Do all the rolls and let me know what the damage is.

Hmm... My half of the equation is as follows:

DR tests:

Body: 7

Test #1: 3,4,5,5,5,7,8 (Yes, I know this is ludicrous, but it's true nonetheless)

Test #2: 1,1,1,2,2,3,4 (aw, tits...)

I'll split my combat pool a tad and apply two dice to each test for a little extra (I declared that to myself, alas, before that first stonkingly good roll...) - the results are as follows: Test one - 1,4, Test two - 2,4.

Without knowing what ammo type the guns are using or the successes/skill levels of teh attackers I can do little more, except tell you that the base damage codes for these weapons are: Enfield AS7: 8S and Uzi III: 6M. That, and my armour rating: B:5, I:5



Knockdown:

Body: 7

Test #1: 1,2,3,3,3,4,4
Test #2: 1,1,3,4,4,5,16 (Yes, that's a SIXTEEN!)

vs: 1/2 weapon power. Minimum success level to avoid getting knocked down (for reference):
L: 2
M: 3
S: 4
D: N/A

This all assumes, of course, I wasn't getting splurged against a bulkhead... but that's the GM's call!


Having posted this and looked at it, I find the rolls hard to believe. But they're true. I'd rather my luck had averaged out across the whole board there, but that's the first sixteen I've ever got and I'm proud, so ner...

Well the ammo type for the shotgun was Flechette, and for the Uzi it was standard. The guy with the Uzi got five sucesses and the guy with the shotgun got 3.

Uzi Test:

Burst fire at 6M (raised to 9S by the burst) reduced by Ballistic armour rating of 5, but staged up to Deadly by attacker successes.
Damage resistance test #1 (see above) vs. 4D results in 7 successes for a net result of One box of damage (light wound)

Enfield Test:

Against Flechette rounds, use Twice Impact Armour Rating = 10
Reducing 8D (staged up by attacker successes) results in the minimum of 2D for damage resistance.
Test #2 (also see above) generates 6 successes, for a net result of One box of damage (light wound)

As a note, having taken only a light wound from each, the respective knockdown tests would have given me 2 successes vs. the Uzi and 4 vs. the Enfield so I would have kept standing… so just assume I threw myself prone!

Result:
-1TN, -1Initiative, Pain and annoyed Ork…

I should give the enemy bigger guns!!

A `Flip & Seeoh' post will be done this evening, after 6pm, Sunday 8th.

You should give them bigger balls too - or bigger brains!

Thanks for that ruling, boss, it was a wicked comedy moment!

I do what I can to please my players!!! (just remember that on you London campaign!! )

Sorry that post wasnt very long, came online and ive started being harassed by an old friend of mine (long story!)...

I think it's interesting just how quickly Flip forgot that "better off in Davy Jones' Locker than on the street" stuff once he actually saw the drugs.
