Gang Turf: 2, 4, 5, 10

So, who do I have to geek to get out?

Hi everybody! I didn't post a description because I like being evil.

Or I'm just too lazy to write something up.

Well, there's the most infamous downtown gang, the Halloweeners, Renraku hating vicious and racially diverse. The Disassemblers are in the erea too, chop shop suppliers extrordinaire...as in body parts! SMaller gangs include the Terrorizers, small time robbers, really. And the Lame Brains who are chip pushers, known to sell Kong chips.

Kong? As in King Kong or Hong Kong?

*slots chip, climbs up nearest skyscraper, grabs beautiful woman, shakes fists at helicopters and airplanes that fly by dropping stuff on him*

Wee!

I BAAAAAck!! Reading and posting soon.

BTW: Hoboken (sp?) is a Troll sized load of fun!!

Perception test on the deck heads--looking for weapons: 1, 1, 3, 4, 7
Ditto the bartender: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3

If you allow Stealth as a complimentary skill: 2, 2, 3, 5, 16 and 1, 1, 1, 2, 2 (that bartender, curse him!). If not, s'cool, too.

Any gangs claim the bar as part of thier turf?

Gang Background: 1, 2, 3, 5

Gang ID: 2, 3, 4

Use whatever ya want!

Neither the deckers nor the bartender appear to have any weapons to your eyes.

The Lame Brains call the erea theirs, but they don't usually go into the Places of Business

I have Ettiquete(Matrix) 5/7, but nothing in negotiation - anybody else have social skills, or am I the one who would be making the call?

Etiquette4 & Negotiation (Fast Talk) 1(4).

You can call me "Plan B" if we don't have anyone more qualified. Also, do we have a team transport? I saw somebody has a Rapier, but that could get wicked crowded--especially w/ the Big A on it

And we have a "leader"? I don't want the job, just curious.

Street Etiquette here. 3/6. So more than likely it's your call, just don't go all Matrix talk on him.

Allright, 3Threes, make a hearing based perception test.

Perception : 04 02 14 04 01 04

The Johnson's voice seems kinda flat and monotoned when before it had at least a touch of emotion in it.

did it seem to be the same person's voice?

1) Who here has a radio as 'ware or somewhere on their person?
2) Perception (You know all my goodies ): 1, 2, 7, 11
3) Stealth (Awareness) as a complimentary skill: 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 10

What do I see and who do I have to kill?

1. I have a microtranciever w/ sub voc mic...but I don't know that I'd keep it on me. Other than that, I got a Pocket Secretary and a Pager. Not exactly military grade comms...

2. Which bodes the question: Mikey, do you want a list of what we consider normal gear and a list of run gear? Because I for one, have a number of things that I wouldn't be carrying around in the street.

3. Where are the exits? What are the tables/chairs made of? Are they attached to the floor?

Just as a point of reference, I don't have my SMG, and am only carrying the Pred w/ Silencer in Concealable Holster. The four spare clips are loaded with regular ammo. I also have my P-Sec in a front jacket pocket.

Oh, and of course the staff sitting next to the door.

I've got headware radio (12 frequencies, nonetheless!) and a subvoc microphone, if anybody's wondering.

This is not a surprise situation. Everyone was on guard. Simply roll initiatives.

Fscking... Turned off Wired!

*sigh*

Initiative: 6

I hate you. >_<

When my first action pops up, I'm turning on Wired. Then shooting people. Lots of people.

init roll - 6 3 1 + 10 = 20

Lets Rock.

I got the Browning, loaded w/ Regular ammo.

I: 20 (Boosted, omae. Never have to turn 'em off. Can't tell they're there )

Reaction for quick Draw: 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6

Don't know what you want for the dive. Athletics? 1, 1, 1, 4, 9 (gotta spend more time at the gym...)

I was thinking this was an action but if you want to call it the Combat Pool Dodge, lemme know and I'll change my dice pool accordingly...

Free Action for the talking

One CP die for each shot, leaving me 7

I'll go for the ork to to the left of the door. I think that would be the one closest to me, yes?

First shot (SmLink, Moving, No Recoil): 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 8, 8
Second shot (SmLink, Moving, 1 Recoil): 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5

And now, I'm hopefully behind cover.

BTW, exactly how many tuskers are we talking here?

Reaction to QD after turning on Wired: 2, 2, 7, 9, 9, 10, 10 (I've haven't seen that many sixes in a long time. I'm so happy!)

Default to Body for jumping over the bar: 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 9

Shot #1 (preferring guy on my left at door): 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 10 (My savior!)

Shot #2 (if guy on left is down, guy on right. otherwise guy on left): 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 9, 17

Recoil all compensated, no visibility mods, movement mods are obvious, and no cover mods that I'm aware of.

This is leaving me with 6 CP.

Dammit, why did you have to do this right before I go to sleep? I have work in the morning!

So since we didn't make it clear that we had *most* of our runner gear, would it be safe to assume that I had the SMG w/ me? I would assume that its not easily accessible. Say, in a shoulder bag, mayhaps? Possibly disasembled for easier concealment along w/ some spare ammo and other "runner" odds and ends?

I'm not trying to force you into micromanaging us but I don't want to cheat either.

Init - 20

Quickdraw SMG - 05 08 10 07 04 03 02 05 05 04

Using Ingram SMG loaded with gel rounds (what he would have loaded for the job)


Walking behind partial cover - assuming some is near. Running if it isnt.


Shot - 3 round burst at whichever ork is nearest my dearest dufflebag
Smartlink, Walking, his movement, aim 1 simple action, no uncompensated recoil, 4 CP
04 11 07 04 04 11 03 03 01 02

8S damage from burst before successes

maybe i will get lucky and knock him down

5 CP left - I should be behind partial cover

Once Glyph and Maxxi post I'll post the first phase's results.

Dub D doesn't go around lit up like a Christmas tree most of the time, but he wouldn't turn off his sustaining focus unless the bar was warded. So if it was, his initiative is 8; otherwise, it is 21. Either way, he will cast stunball at the mass of orks, trying to get all of the ones who came milling through the front (especially the two by the door) - hopefully before they can get too much cover; and using a free action to crouch down a bit for some cover himself.

He will use 6 dice of spellcasting for the spell, withholding 3 dice to increase the radius by 3 meters (making it a 9 meter radius), adding his Totem dice and 3 from his Spell Pool. He will add 3 dice from Spell Pool to resist Drain.

Stunball, cast at 6M:

10, 8, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1.

Resist Drain:

9, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2 (Resisted 2S Drain).


If he had the higher initiative, then his second action will be to spend two simple actions activating his other two foci. For his third action, he will cast another stunball at the two orks by the back door. He will use all of his spellcasting dice, and also gets his Totem bonus, but will use the combat focus to help resist Drain.

Stunball, cast at 6M:

10, 9, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1.

Resist Drain:

22, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1 (Resisted 2S Drain).

The cafe is not warded.

Oh, Maxxi...here MaxxiMaxxiMaxxi...c'mere, boy! Come on and post. Ooohhh Maxxi..!

Okay, sorry about the delay.

Let's see if I have the Shadowrun rules down.

My intiative is nine, so only one phase for me.

Jamal is duck down, get over the bar, without any flashy athletics. Do I really need to roll for that? Or is it just a simple action?

His next thing, will be to activate his Control Action Foci on his wrist.

None to complicated.

It's amazing how many people leap over the counter when all you had to do was move around in behind it.

adrenaline - plus makes for good cinematics

What he said.

Plus that means we have to make not much of a moving target, whereas if we jump, we get there quicker!

I was going to do a one-handed handstand over and land, but then I went: "Defaulting from Body. Wait... Bad idea!" So, yeah, otherwise I'd probably be on my face right now.

oh c'mon, Mikey. I stole the move from you. Besides, Ive been playing alot of Max Payne lately.

Glyph, you got two bursts coming at ya you need to dodge or resist.

Tanka, you got 1 burst to worry about! Way to go taking out one of the noncombatants, by the way. That leap over the bar unskilled...marvelous!

Heh...have I mentioned to any of you before that I loooove my red dice? For some reason they tend to roll on the high side...

...Oops...

Well... I got 'em!

OK, Body roll + 3 CP: 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 9, 10, 17

Tell me I staged that... Pleae, please tell me I did...

This leaves me with 3 CP just in case.

Staged to a light wound in true troll fashion!

Crap.

Free Action for the yell

No Combat Pool on the first shot. 1 die each on the others.

First shot (SmL, no recoil):2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 14
Second shot (SmL, 1 Recoil): 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 7, 9

If Ork1 goes down, I switch to the next one.

3rd shot (SmL, 2 Recoil): 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4
4th shot (SmL, 3 Recoil): 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5

(oh sure, when the recoil starts is when the dice screw me.... )

Free action to hit the deck.

4 CP dice left. 4 rounds left.

Heh...well, Kevyn, if Gly[h's Dub D takes some damage, then his initiative'll drop and you might get to take out an ork or two all by yourself...if 3Three's Wil doesn't steal the glory.

Since he has a long coat and partial cover, and trying to dodge autofire has such big penalties, he will use his Combat Pool to help him soak, adding 4 dice to each Body test.

Burst #1: 11, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1.

Burst #2: 5, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1.

I figured better safe than sorry.

Actually, I didn't think anyone had a higher initiative than me and Wil. Opps.

Glyph, from the first roll you get to take a moderate wound.

From the second you take a serious wound.

Considering the amount of damage that would be (9 boxes) would you like to spend karma on the first set of rolls and reroll all those failures? That would give you seven dice to roll...or you can trust that your fellow shadowrunners can heal you if you survive the combat.

Glyph: don't forget we have the team karma too!

A light wound? Bah. I'm used to staging completely.

Then again, I still have 3 CP.

Now I am off to work for the night. Start with a fight and leave ya hangin'! That's how evil I am! Bwa ha ha ha! I'll be up and posting tomorrow no later than 7pm Pacific time. tomorrow, then off to work at the same time as now.
