Probably a stupid question, but... Is the Smartgun Smartlinked? I don't seem to recall if it is naturally or if it has to be added in.

If you have the skill to drive and it's not a combat situation then don't bother rolling. Unless there's some resistance, there's no risk of failure.

An ingram smartgun is indeed smartlinked.

Gee, good call, me. OK. Yay. Lower TNs and I have the skill, so I'm good to go.

You're lucky, kevyn.

My bad. The Ingram M20T Smartgun that you have found in your lap has Smartlink I, gas vent 2 and a retractable stock. There is also a detachable suppressor in the bag as well. And nine clips, 7 are normal looking, 1 has green tape on it (gel), and one has red (XE). Have fun!!

Wait. EX? Oh goodie... Except that killing cops like that is generally bad...

OK... So that's 2 points of recoil comp, plus my Str giving another point... So I can take the first burst with no problem, and suffer a +3 TN on the second. Yum...

Yes, but it'd be difficult to do that and lay down supressive fire at the same time.

Glad you like the XE, I would've got AV rounds but they didn't have my size.

And about killing cops: think of it like 50 cals and the Geneeva Convention. "...Cannot be used on personel. Can be used on equipment; such as cover, vehicles, boots, uniforms...."

Yes, but if it happens to hit a gas tank or somesuch... Boom-boom is bad-bad.

Besides. It's expensive.

Gimme 2 driving skill rolls. One to maintain control when you bust through a roadblock, another to set a target number I may or may not need...

Okay, Dub D is casting Powerbolt at 5S, using all of his Spellcasting, Totem, and Combat Focus dice, along with 3 Spell Pool dice. He is using the other 3 Spell Pool dice to resist Drain.

Spellcasting test: 20, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1. With his wound modifiers, that's probably one success. I was hoping to stage it up and take out that barrier, but maybe Serious damage will at least weaken it.

Drain resistance test: 8, 5, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1. And he takes Light Drain.

Hey...anyone out there?

*looks around*

Yes?

Hey, Tanka...are ya picturing Olanis all scrunched up in the human sized bucket seat?

How tall did I make him? Oh, yeah, too tall. Damn humans. *shakes Fist of Doom™*

Sorry, sorry. Went out last night. You wouldn't Sloan to be drinking and driving, would you??

Car1: 1 3 3 17
Car2: 3 3 4 8

What, you didn't take the Common Sense Edge?

Allright, Kevyn, that 17 was good enough (just barely) to get you past the pylons on the road without crashing...feel free to post your driving away IC

17! just barely? crap.

How does Common Sense help one drive drunk...?

Oh wait, I get it. It would tell not to....

Everyone in the back of the van make an Athletics test to avoid getting tossed around and out and taking any damage...and be sure to thank Kevyn for his fine description of his driving skills, trying to avoid the soft, small rubber pylons by fishtailing and going up on the sidewalk instead of just driving over 'em. I pity any who fail.

Who makes pylons out of soft rubber?? I thought it was a roadblock....

Well, I did tell everyone to "hold on".

Sorry guys.

Shit happens.

OK, defaulting from Body... (Remind me to start getting points in Athletics asap...): 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6 (7! >_<), 11, 15, 15

hey dude, if I read Mikey's post right you and I don't have to make that test. We're in the front. And if you listened to me, you'd have your seatbelt on, too.

Ehe... I rolled nothing!

Athletics: 4, 2, 1, 1. But remember, I was near the front (tossing that Powerbolt, then huddling in one of the front corners).

3.1.5 (That's a failure)

Jamal gets thrown out of the car, and lands on the pavement hard.

Whoa!! Maxxi, are you sure its failure? Mikey didn't set a TN and it shouldn't be much more than 4. Well, maybe 5. But its only a van that swerved a little bit, not a chopper dodging ground fire...Right? :hopefulsmiley:

You still have your personal karma pool and team karma. I know we're burning it up in a hurry but "Life in the shadows just turned lethal".

Defaulting from body - 01 01 05 04 03 05

Tanka, you're fine.

Kevyn, pylons are those little rubber cones that they set down to indicate people should not proceed...they're stackable and light and orange.

Everyone else: breakdown...base test:4
big jugs of water getting tossed around: +1
Final target number:5

If you used athletics and got a 5, you're fine. If you defaulted you actually needed a 9...a single nine. Nobody got thrown out. Not even Jamal. HOwever, all who failed must make a resistance test against 5m stun, with impact armour assisting.

5m stun - 3m with lined coat -

02 01 03 01 03 01 - staged to light

Whoa! Divine Intervention!

I thought those were just "little orange cones". "Pylon" makes me think of "support structure" or at least cement. Oh well.

So to sum up: every one is fine except for Wil, correct?

[edit] I just read the IC post. Ya gotta love livin the 6th World, neh?[/edit]

More edits:
Just so I'm clear: everyone is still in the van except Wil, correct? I'll wait untill Mikey posts before reacting.

ahhh, got it. Sorry, I was reading at work. Shame on me!

Cool.

I guess I get to save my selfless, heroric plan for later.

Turning to the Troll next to him, "Big A, see if you can pick up thier radio freqs and give us a heads up. And put your fraggin seatbelt on!!"

Heh...a troll in a human sized front seat, likely with his knees against his chest and you think he could get a seatbelt on him? Hah!

Armor is for sissies. Ofcourse, using your combat pool isn't.

Using five combat pool dice, and 3 normal body dice, to give me my lucky number of 8d6. TN 5. Whooha.

10, 5, 2, 3, 10, 3, 5, 4 Finally, a sexy roll. Staged it down to nothing.

With 2 Impact armor, TN of 3.

Body test: 5, 5, 3, 3, 2.

Combat Pool: 10, 10, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2.

Staged down to no damage.

Excellent! See? I'm evil, but not cruel!

3Threes, I'm not even gonna bother rolling to see how long you'll have that damage...it'll be gone pretty quick.

What are you trying to say, Mikey? Trolls can't multitask? Racist.

But did I not enhance the image of the "troll in human sized seat w/ a seatbelt"? he can probably lick his Kneecaps...

Allright, folks, you've effectively gotten out of the immediate danger...it's up to you to go somewhere to hide out or to run for the hills or wahtever...take the ball and run with it!

Is everyone on board still? (I mean w/ the run not "in the van")

Yup. Just got home from work (and had to clean up spilt Sprite. Forgot to screw the cap on all the way and knocked it over. >_<).

here

Trillz. Aka Yes.

Definitely still here.
