An undertimed amount on the roof. At least two, one of which is unconcious. Probably more like a small handful of them.

What do I see on the Astral?

Should we roll Initiative at this point? How do you want to work it?

Well, even on the astral, the tangos are given mucho cover by the fact that they're ducking on the roof. You can sorta see some masses with auras peeking out over the horizon created by the roofline.

I'mma just go see how many Edgers are still alive out of the NPCs, and *then* I'll want initiative and actions.

Unless my notes are wrong, I still need damage resistance from Blitz, Ricks... actually, I think that's it...

Oh, you said you needed them from people on bikes, I was accross the street, so I didn't think I was included.

<deleted>

btw, Blitz, where were you, so I don't have to look it up.

He was with me over near the alley.

Gotcha. Well, then, you guys do whatever it is you want to do. For the moment, they're seeking the cover of the roof, as far as you can tell. There's definatly movement up there, but you can't really tell how many or what's going on.

Do your things, guys.

Blitz was on foot, following Ricks until he worked his mojo, then he was going to storm the presumed waiting ambush...

This is where comms would come in handy. Someone make a note to get hands free accessories and conference call options on the cells. Thats gonna be the cheapest solution. Mickey would be in his element and we could operate more like a team in these ops.

Yes?

Did the rocket launcher survive the explosion?

Simply because I don't want to have to go retcon a second explosion, and my inner gunbunny has never actually seen one of these babies used, I'm going to say you forgot that it was magically in your hands the whole time.

Enjoy.

to shoot the building:

full auto 9 rounds/turn (+3 recoil, +2 wound, -1 stationary, -2 smartlink)
including 7 combat pool: 2,2,9,1,3,3,3,4,11,5,3,1,5,7 (3 successes, unmodified damge 17D)

to shoot a guy that appears (6 rounds, TN4, +2, -2, unmodified damge 14D)
including 4 combat pool: 1,8,2,5,4,2,8,4,5,3,3 (6 successes)

Reptile has three extra clips of 28 plus about 25 in his current one. He changes clips continually, maybe in the same round that he shoots because of initiative, so that there is a continuous gunfire directed at the building. When he has about 20 rounds left, he stops and keeps the ammo, at that point he will look for cover, but the shooting should last a little bit more than a minute.

Free action is used to tell the spirit to confuse everyone on the rooftop, but make sure it gets anyone that is astrally active. I'll be using my spell pool to help defend it if a mage attacks it up there.

a) Confuse is a one-person-at-a-time only power. It doesn't specifically say it in the spirits section, but in the Great Spirits section of MitS it says that one of the possible powers of great spirits is to use their powers on multiple people.

b) Officially, there needs to be wind for a wind spirit, but I'll give it to you cause I'm a nice guy and it's not game-breaking or anything.

Ak! I was thinking Confuse was multi-person, thats Conceal. Sorry, my bad.

I want him to confuse whoever is Magicly active up there.

Blitz probably has a handle on the thing, so I don't think I'll use the rocket launcher...Also, I'd probably miss.

Rule! With a TN of 8, and rolling 5 dice, I got three successes. That is good.

Back in stride...

Edit: Oh yeah, warn the trog after he's in mid leap...

Mickey, none of the applicants have firearms except for one streetsweeper in aweful condition between them.

Allriight. Mickey will pass Nick's Ingram Smartgun and a spare clip to Lou or his own Ares Predator 2 and a spare clip...whichever he knows how to use in the order of priority as just posted.

LM, did I get the guy that I first hurt in the shoulder and then saw in my line of sight? I want to know if I extracted proper revenge

And whats happening with my spirit?

It did say his neck went into the line of fire...

Yeah, you got him.

Grey, there are indeed people up top being confused. You just have no evidence of it.

Oh, and it's my birthday today, so everyone gets 1 karma.

w00t! Happy birthday man! How old are ya?

Happy Birthday !!

Mikey, keep in mind your dealing with squatters. If they had vehicles, they'd probably live in them.

19.

Update: I'll be spending the weekend bumming around on people's couches and whatnot, so don't expect high volume out of me. I actually do this a bit, I just figured I'd tell you guys this time. You usually barely notice.

Mikey, it's about ten blocks away. I say that running your asses off, and possibly puking once or twice, you'll make it in ten minutes. After that, until you rest at least 5 minutes, I'm going to impose +1 to all your target numbers due to exhaustion. By all rights I should ask a body test out of you, but I'm too nice a guy.

Blitz, I need you to roll body, resisting a poink blank shotgun blast to the head. My books are at home, as are my notes, so I don't know how much damage it'll be off-hand, but it'll be alot. Roll well, because things do not look well for our hero.

Gotta love going out with a bang...

If I die before I wake... I'm gonna come back from the dead and kill the motherfragger who did it...

Will this be the end of our intrepid hero?

10 minutes for 10 blocks? Holy smokes those are some mighty big blocks. I guess maybe you meant 100 blocks?

Blitz, it couldn't hurt to see if Mike uses the Hand of Gawd rule.

City blocks do tend to get pretty big... *nod*

Couldn't hurt, neh... but I wanna see if he can soak it...

Happy B'day (belated) LM!!

City blocks are big, my friend.

DH, I'm sorry.

I don't like the sound of that...

No worries... as much as I hate to see the big guy go, his run was a memorable one, and he died as he would wish.

Now... I think I need to cook up another concept... *ponders*

Uh oh...

Suddenly, my mind is bouncing around the idea of a jaded street preacher...

It won't be the same game without Blitz.

Throwing Weapons, 10, 4, 5, 2, 2. That should be one success.
