Yep, that's SleepIncarnate.

Thanee

for once Thanee and I are on at the same time.. and there's no cruiser, and no JP

Disjointed for the lose. D:

Sorry, gang. Xmas calls, at least shopping and wrapping presents for the missus. Probably won't be on for real until evening.

Sorry guys, today is my Mum's birthday, and have been hosting a large family lunch. Should get back to computer in a little bit.

Visual Perception Test: Perception 4 + Intuition 4 + Attention Coprocessor 3 + Visual Enhancement 3 = 14 dice
14d6.hits(5) → [1,4,2,6,1,4,1,1,3,2,4,6,3,5] = (3)

OK, I was able to slip away for a few minutes to the computer

Just finished reading IC. Looks like we are going to get caught in the middle of a gunfight.

I'm still RP-ing on the sidelines. Excited to see whether you'll actually take on all these guys, seems like a hefty challenge for a green team. Especially that mage, assuming he may be a Wuxing wage mage?

Attribute Boost (Strength) - 3 hits (boosting Ghost's Strength to 5)

A feeble attempt to Intimidate the Triad grunt (for the 'just try it' look) - 1 hit + 2 hits = 3 hits

If he does not let her past... using Commanding Voice (Street Magic p. 176) to order him to back off - 6 hits

Thanee

I have a stun pistol that does 8S(e) in my holster. And I have an 'okay' attack pool.
(6 dice I think)

Aim FTW = + 1 dice, also, hold your action until multiple attacks have been shot at one dude, his dodge pool will have decreased, then you can strike.

Waiting on a few more posts from others aside from "Lyle" - but so looking forward to the reply post I get to make...

Infiltration (trying to use the distraction to get out of their focus) 1 hit

Bye
Thanee

Sorry about being slow to respond, I was having too much fun playing my shiny new Assassin's Creed 2. >.>

man I hope I don't have to roll a new character already
I like Rick

Me too. Make like a fox and you'll probably be ok.

This most recent IC post has nothing for Rick to fear, but I make no promises for the future.

I've never rolled a more spectacular critical glitch in my life, and of course it's on a negotiation roll. Seven dice, five ones, a two and a four.

I'll post here what I put in the other team's thread - I'll be posting spottily for the next few days, no more than once or twice a day. It seems to be a slow time for posting anyway, so I'll give lots of leeway for waiting for others to post before I jump into the IC thread.

Sorry for the delay, especially for such a short response post.

Dude, it's Christmas weekend, don't sweat it.

You guys have a preference where I take this.
5k.. + introduction to Triad superiors.. that's.. tasty.

My guy is /really/ hungry. (read 73 to his name.. that's gonna be tempting.)
And while he doesn't want to piss off the Koshari, he certainly doesn't want to piss off the Triads AND the Yakuza.

I still think there is no way we can accept any of those offers, really. As tempting as they may be.

Bye
Thanee

Are they offering 5000 each or just total? If it is just a lump sum 5000 then is not close to what Koshari have offered (i.e. we should be getting 6000nuyen at drop-off point, 1500*4)

So am against pissing off the Koshari, and if we can get Yaks to fight Triads, while we slip away, we will not have pissed them off either.

Well, I think I have made it off their radar for now, thanks to the distraction... so, I guess I will use that opportunity and disguise myself a bit (having Facial Sculpt and Melanin Control should help a bit).

Disguise 1 hit

Bye
Thanee

@J.Packer Is there anyway to get my Jack Rabbit out of it's traffic jam? I mean, we've been standing here in the middle of the street talking for a bit, did the road clear up, are there people behind us honking and getting pissed off?

The traffic appears to be stalled - some sort of altercation going on up ahead at the light. You can't see it from here, but yes, the natives are getting restless.

You could escape, jump your car up onto the median and ride along the edge, but it'd be a tricky bit of driving...(read a roll definitely required)

Sadly, I'd be defaulting
though my pilot would have 4 dice, and wouldn't be defaulting.

But Ghost has the package, and is away from the car.

Added moving ahead to find out what caused the traffic to halt in my last post.

Infiltration (to get there, and away from the syndicate goons, unnoticed) 3 hits

Bye
Thanee

Who knows they won't try to beat your asses after they take the document?

Drain Resistance from Attribute Boost, which will run out somewhere in between... 3 hits vs. 1S.

Bye
Thanee

I know I'm still just on the sidelines, but I'm trying hard to follow what's going on. Are Warden and Rick going to single-handedly take on 8 yaks and triads, while Cruiser and Ghost bolt on out of there? Seems like quite a challenge.

Well, at the very least it is not 2v8 there, but rather 2v4v4.

Besides, we are still around... if a battle actually does begin, I wouldn't just run away (even though that would probably be smart!).

Bye
Thanee

hey I'm a combat monster! with my 1 IP and 6 dice

Good! We feel safe now.

Bye
Thanee

-- DOUBLE POST --

Indeed. You might even be good enough to jump out of the crossfire.

With 2 IPs and 3 points of edge to spend, I can potentially eliminate all of the mooks in one combat round. >.>

I never said I had dodge

Gymnastics is your friend.

Well Cruiser is not going to run away and let you have all the fun

I'm glad that, even though I violated the recommendations of the adventure in letting you split up, you're thinking like a team.

I'll update the IC thread momentarily. Got the in-laws off to Milwaukee again, and things should hopefully return to normal over the next couple of days.

Anyone have any recommendations for online tools to depict a battle on-line? I've never done it with such tools, usually just set it up on paper here and post what folks need to know, but I'd not mind trying out something if there are good tools already in place.

Aww, I was hoping they would be confused

their current negotiating has been so pathetic

So yeah, with that action being held, I guess initiative works normally? I'm not sure how it works. >_>

You should totally waste that troll. Just sayin.

Maptool or simply GIMP and upload the pictures somewhere (like imageshack.us).

Bye
Thanee

Initiative Order:
Warden
Ghost/Cruiser - simultaneous
Jonny
An Peng
Rick
Mooks

Looks like we're after actions from Warden, but feel free to give me what you intend to do, with the caveat that you can correct for that if something happens before your turn that would have an impact.

Also, how many IPs is everyone going to have?

Ghost has 2 IP

Bye
Thanee

Warden will have 2 IPs, maybe 3 if I feel like blowing edge.

A mighty 1 ip! woot

I'm going to dodge back into the car and order the car to close the door, while i fish out my stun gun I suspect.

I think those yak mooks are in for a very bad day. >.>

If Cruiser works on the traids and the yak's haven't toally run for it, Jessie Warden will be slamming Johny and the other yak mook. (I'm assuming yak mook 1 and 2 go shredded)

Cruiser has 2 IP as well. He is going to blow away the triad mook looking at him first and then hit An Peng.
