Intuition(5) + Perception(2) + Visual Specialization(2) + Visual Enhancement(3) + Actively looking(3) [3,6,4,4,5,6,5,2,2,2,2,3,5,2,2] = 5 hits

I'll wait to see if there is a secondary attacker flanking us before deciding an action.

PS: I'm using salmon... Its "Nix".

Damn it. Touche.

Ha!

I think our GM saw a squirrel and got distracted...

Sorry, I'm packing. Once I'm to wherever we deploy to and settle in I'll be back on more. Probably a lot more, once we have interne. I'm told that should be pretty immediate though. We'll see. Sorry for the lack of update. I've been popping in mostly to check mod stuff and then slipping off after squirels and .... hey there it goes!!...

another deployment, fisty? you really get around, huh?

Well, good luck on the move! see you when you get back!

RJ- nothing in the air worth noting.
Sorry it took so long guys . I have NOT been adjusting well to the time change. Last night was the first time I actually slept more than 2 hours, and in the dark at that. I'll be on more.

Initiative: 8+4=12, 2 passes

How many passes till it reaches me?

The Hound is appx 50 yards away. How many passes does Fix have? It's Initi is 10.

Not that Fix knows all that much about them, but OOC, it can cover the distance in one round, but only just. So it'll get to him at the end of it's round. IF it gets there that is.

Ok, he has two passes but my question is more towards comparing the distance and how quick it seems to move. So since he'd be able to see that it'll reach him now that affects his choice of action.

Now if there simply hasn't been enough time elapsed for him to make that judgement, he'll be continuing with his previous actions: overload it with stun.

A round is a few seconds. He's got a few seconds until it gets to him.

Figure that way we can at least keep it in context. Fair? He does have enough time to get off his two phases for the round if that helps as well. trying to make sure we can keep player and char knowledge seperate.

That works, basically just checking for his reaction time for response.

Second shot (+1, aim) = 3 hits

Edge to re-roll fails: +3 hits = 6 hits


Fun question, what would the modifiers be for firing the shotgun one handed? (Body: 5, Str: 6)

Again the dice gods are kind. Hound rolled for crap. Otherrealm apparently loves you guys.
As for shotgun, I'll look into it. RL, it's not that hard, since it's a shotgun. It's just a question of range, and what type of shotgun you have. In other words, how long the barrel is and if you're strong enough to hold it. If you're planning on doing more than one shot though you may have issues. They kick a hell of a lot and the method of reloading is a question.

Indeed. Intention would be if caught in melee, knife in one hand shotgun in other. And its the Remming 990, so a shotgun.

I take a week off and there's more posting than in the first half of the year... Keep rocking!

Thought I'd toss in a little suspense on that last post.
So all three are gathered more or less at the front entryway. Finally. Of course it's my fault it took so long, so thanks for your mountains of patience guys.

5 karma to all.

Yay! Thank you, Unka Fisty!

Score! And gotta say, always amusing when the hacker actually has to join the group

good news is that this hacker is able to hold his own in a fight. 'specially if he can get in melee range. ^__^

So now there is the door... Is Dingo gonna get that?

Pretty sure you're in melee range of the door...

Did it ring?

I love the mental image of all three of them standing at this big oak door, looking at each other.
"You gonna...?"
"No I thought you..."
"Me I, ...no..."
"Well someones' gotta..."
"I mean it's just a door right? ... Right?"

Hellhounds and Sniper Drones: No problem.

Large Oak Door: Total Defeat.

Again, Fisty and RJ? How is it you manage two laugh-worthy chains of forum posts in 24 hours?

Found it! I couldn't remember what the door's sec systems were...

Active Programs


Physical Perception
Int(5) + Perception(4) + Vision enhancement(3) = 12d6 = 2 hits
Looking for things like commlink jack, booby-traps, etc.

find the bioscanner (if it has a wireless signal at all)
E.Warfare(6) + Scan(6) = 12d6 = 3 hits

Analyze the bioscanner's node
Analyze(6) + Computer(4) = 10d6 = 2 hits

There is no wireless for the bioscanner on the door. It's a little more "old school", like the hardlined secuirty system that remote-ops the "Death Balloon".
Rolls Electronics. And before you ask, the scanner it's self isn't connected to the same system as the Death Balloon.

Logic(6) + electronics group (4) + edge (5) = 15d6 = 8 hits

Hard wired to the door lock it's self as a stand alone. There does appear to be an alarm on the door it's self, little ore than a pad that recognizs whether or not the door is open. Running along the same set of conduit set into the frame is a mirco wire for a discreetly hidden camera as well.

The biometrics system could be hacked if taken apart properly and tapped into directly, or bypassed and tricked electronically.
Or Fix could "Fix" the door.

I'm assuming eye biometric scanners are Retinal scanners. Is it possible for me to fake the retina using my cybereyes, assuming we have the old man's biometrics?

Only if you have Retinal Duplication built in. And yes, fair to assume that biometrics for a door would be the good ol' eye scan. Don't know if I said it specifically, but that's how I figure the standard door would be if secured with a iock of some kind. Why bother with even taking your hands out of your pockets for a hand print when you can just look at it? That's assuming a fair budget anyway.

F5 - Clairvoyance, Extended: [1,6,5,5,1,3,1,1,4,4,1] = 3 hits
Resist DV3 drain: [6,6,2,3,6,3,6,6,1,6] = 6 hits
No Drain.

the question was more as a reminder for himself and me...

whoops. forgot to post the roll.

Hardware(4) + logic(6) = 10d6 = 5 hits

Yo Fisty, how was Comicon? Pictures looked great! Ready to pick back up?

So, hows things? Didn't want both of our threads to end up last.

Is Fisty on orders somewhere again?

I'm guessing so. last minute rush out the door, maybe?

Sounds about right.

Sorry thought I told you guys before I took off. Can't be too specific on dates when I'm going out. No, not at ComicCon. I'm in Spain, and just took a trip on an escort mission . But I'm back now and should be able to get some legitimate posts up tomorrow.

Excellent!!

yay!!

Woo!!

Mickle: +1 Karma for "Hold your hands inside too." Made me grin.

Ugh. Sorry guys. So we're all on the same page as to why I'm taking so damn long to do anything lately:
On Deployment
Taking missions
Found out last week my wife has cancer.

It has not been a good summer.

That sucks. Our prays are with you.


Watchers stay on patrol. Spirit has 4 services.

Cast Increases Reflexes F4: Magic(6) + Spell Casting(5) [6,3,6,3,2,1,2,2,6,5,5] = 5 hits
- Resist DV4 Drain: Willpower(5) + Logic(5) [3,6,6,5,6,4,1,1,2,3] = 4 hits; No drain

RJ - Thanks man. Caught it early, at Stage 1.

Also ... color code. But hey, keep fighting the good fight man.

Good to hear, hope it goes well.

So I was reviewing old posts, did we get a general layout of this place from the nephew? And if so did my packet of info include it?

Perception checks:

Visual: 4 hits
Hearing: 6 hits

Dicsussion with Kolby Stanton, the nephew, is on Page 4.

A rough floor plan was provided to the primary team members, Nyx and Dingo. If they shared that or not however is up to them. The floor plan is a rough sketch at best, apparently using a fairly simple architectural layour and design program to show simple walls,doorways, windows, stairs. and approxiamate measurements, with a number of the rooms labels with things such as 'Privy' and 'study'.
The basement level on the plan, for those who have it, also marks 'kennel', with the door down into the basement located in the kitchen. Other areas of interest are : -Master Bedroom, Solarium, and Armory.
