Tink Sends up his 2 flyspys sets one to watching the guy that fired the gun and the other to keeping an eye out for any back up he may have comeing including teachers/security/ admin people.

Just to note, I've had a browser fubar while rolling up that block. So a whole bunch have gone through at once. (Last time I use IE for /anything/ on this bloody machine.)

Have messaged Karaden asking if I should re-do it. So my IC post may be subject to change depending on if a re-roll is required.

Apologies in advance for this.

I don't have my books on hand. What are the consequences for not succeeding on a quickdraw?

Yellow text. Definitely yellow text.

You draw the weapon but don't get the shot that goes with it. Glitch is a drop, crit glitch is I get to have fun.

And no, rolls are fine, you beat him on virtually every one of them, you may continue to remain not reminiscent of kindergartner's favorite snack.

hows carson looking? is he showing any wear and tear? also do we know the shooter im watching with the fly spy

He is starting to slow down a bit, but he doesn't look like he is ready to go down just too soon.

He's someone from the school, not anyone you know particularly well. His name might be Greg, your not really sure.

Armed with knowladge of what a failed quickdraw roll does, will Mickle5125 ever actually do anything? Will the campaign come to a screeching halt? Will the GM simply give him the GodSmack:tm:?

i got the impression he was waiting for his next pass. but i could be wrong

Why? Its the first pass of round 2. Everyone gets to go, and he goes directly after Carson. Really you shouldn't have even done your own post yet, you kinda skipped right over him, but he still gets to go.

my bad sorry about that ill pay closer atention next time.

That's alright, it happens, and your action isn't very likely to have direct affect on what he does, nor is his action likely to have a direct affect on what you planned to do.

Just so everyone knows, after he has finally gone, Milafin and Mya get to go, then Lou gets to try and not fry himself with another Masterfully done spell. Oh, and Gres can moan in pain or something in there if he likes.

Or, perhaps Mickle5125 may have already had something happen...

I just wanted to know what extra crap I needed to worry about...

Was this not what you where waiting on?

Edit: My bad, didn't see that you'd posted.

12d6 Attack, 7d6 DR (12d6.hits(5)=4, 7d6.hits(5)=4) Still no damage for Milafin, although that Attack roll was crappy.

So it's Lou and then Carson again, if I'm reading the poses and pose order correctly?

(I'm going on the assumption that Taylor is too smart to go anywhere near a brawl with Carson, although for what it's worth I'd hope he's in the crowd and looking out for teachers approaching so he can give us a warning.)

Correct on all accounts.

*note to self: make sure the baddies can actually hit someone next time*

To be fair, Carson did utterly break Gres in a single blow!

Plus most of our attacks have bounced off like rain, he's definately a challenge to us (and I'd be worried if Alexei was down already in our first fight as he's in -MMO terms- the group tank).

True, and if Carson lands even one blow it is going to give you a few penelties to dodging his next one. On the bright side for you guys it seems as though Milafin is about to disable his wired reflexes, oh the fun!

Alexie will actually get to attack as opposed to standing there using 'taunt' on Carson to draw all the agro

I believe Mya and Milafin still get to go, then Milafin gets to go again maybe? (I forgot how many IPs VR gives to technos)

Three isn't it? They count as always being in Hotsim VR.

Yeah, technos get three passes in VR, but they can't get as good as a mundane hacker in meatspace combat.

And with the upgrades in Unwired and Augmentation they're slower than a cybered up hacker too (Without submersion grades that is) as they can hit up to five IP's.

They are however damn near impossible to detect or track, which is always a good thing when you're upto no good.

We're now on the second IP of the round, which Carson no longer gets to be a part of. So those people who still have a second IP get to go (Alexie and Mya are the only two I think)

does being jumped in with a rig count as being in full VR for IP passes? I just want to know for future reference

So Alexei and Mya are in hand to hand, giving a +1 bonus? And Carson should hopefully be taking the multiple defences penalty. Lets hope this battle starts to turn in our favor!

Just to confirm that I am thinking correctly... Gres took 12 boxes of Stun which overflowed into 2 boxes of physical. Now he was healed three boxes of stun which brings him around. This leaves him 7 stun and 2 physical for a -3 dice from wounds.

Yes, I'm fairly certain it does.

@Oenone Yes, Alexie and Mya should be getting the +1 to attack for having friends in melee, and Carson has been taking his proper penalties.

@estralding. Correct on the boxes part, but only a -3 wound penalty from what I see (0 from physical, 2 from stun)

I suspected as much, I mentioned it more in a 'motivational posting' sort of way!

Uhmmm those numbers don't match

Alexei should, by my reckoning have taken 3 boxes of physical damage from that punch, right?

(And boy am I so glad that defence roll came up high, because those punches are really really nasty and could potentially leave someone dead in one hit!)

Wow, very lucky roll. Yes 3 boxes sounds correct. Though in the future the friends in melee bonus counts only towards your attacks, not to your defense.

Actually according to this bit on P. 147 "Defenders apply dice pool modifiers according to the Defense Modifiers Table (p. 150). Some modifiers from the Melee Modifiers Table (p. 148) may apply to the defender as well."

It implies they do as the table on P. 148 is the same one which includes friends in melee, basically that table is for things which (edited in) can (edited in finishes) affect both attack and defence. But if you'd rather run with it being attacking only then sure thing!

I run it as being only attack for two reasons. One, it gives a double benifit/penelty for being outnumbered (And you really don't want me doing that to you) and two, the fact that the table includes either a) things that apply only to the attacker or b) things that apply to virtually every circumstance.

Fair enough! I'll keep that in mind for future combats.

It would have made a lot more sense if the table actually mentioned which applied to attackers only and which could apply to both. But then I think the one area Shadowrun 4th edition has had problems with is weird editing, like how some of the BBB's drugs only get a price listed for them in Arsenal......

Sorry for the double post, but what (if any) roll is required to go through Carsons pockets?

He owes Alexei some lunch money.....

No roll required as he isn't conscious at the moment. I'll post findings in IC

How good would the face have to be to convince carson he just got jumped in to the gang and hes now one of us

any mojo that would make him think thats what happened? hes not too bright.

While his brightness does indeed rank somewhere around 'burned out light bulb' he isn't going to just suddenly start thinking he is one of your gang members. All you'd likely manage to do is confuse him (really not difficult) and/or make him mad.

Lou has mind control powers... but I'm not overly eager to have him use them because of the whole "what happens when it wears off" problem...

I'm actually planning on putting some effort into making Carson choose to side with us...

my bad.. im not the best at writen communication. The face thing was a joke im just not good at getting things accross some times.

I think our best bet is with his little buddy.

Lunch was probably worth less than 10 nuyen I suspect? Guess this means Alexei treats himself to something special for a change.

Edit- And what happened to the guy with the taser? Did he run for it? Or is he one of the new recruits / members of the other gang?

he's one o' the new recruits.

Am I right in assuming we're waiting on the results of where Carsons friend is and why?

Also how fast does the news spread? (Is it the talk of the school? And indeed how are students and teachers treating us?)

I thought someone hadn't posted yet. I'll go double check and if everyone has posted recently I'll do a bit of a scene advance.

Tink will fire up his rote drone and 2 dobermans to take with him to the meet after school.

How're we looking in terms of wounds now? Healed up?

If not then is anyone in the party able to do first aid? As Alexei took I think 3P from Carson which probably won't heal up by the end of the day. So whatever magic can be thrown at it would be handy. (Especially as with a crowd that big if they're not all friendly we're in trouble)

I'll let you guys post anything special you've done during the day. I'll count classes as resting for Gres so he can make 4 Body + Willpower checks to reduce his stun. He can also cast the healing spell on himself and any other injured (If the healing spell works that way, don't feel like looking it up) prior to or after doing those checks at his discretion.

Gres's stun healing rolls6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=3, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=3 9 boxes of stun healed by the end of school


Gres Healing himself after school 9d6.hits(5)=3 All phyiscal healed

Drain 8d6.hits(5)=2 No drain

Doing just a little patchwork on Carson.
