Err, nevermind.

A pair of 3-round bursts at Tadgh:
- [4,2,6,4,1,4,2,6,3,2] = 2 hits
- [5,6,3,3,2,6,6,5,4] = 5 hits

Reaction checks. Full defense?

Nope.

1 hit and 1 hit

Assuming no magical intervention, rolling body + ballistic armor, If it's ap just shave the last numbers off.

Damage Reduction of 4 on hit 1.
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3814655/
And again 4 on hit 2.

Damn, I assumed there was a door at the foot of the stairs so the surprise guests wouldn't see the jammer. Sorry for getting you shot ;)

There is... and Tig went through it.

Shot #1
DV4 + 2 + 1 net hit = DV8 - 4 soak = 3P Wound
DV4 + 2 + 4 net hits = DV11 - 4 soak = 6P Wound

Can I take an interrupt action to make a con check to appear dead? Assuming with a bonus for nearly being dead? (lol)

Also, suggested twist : Tadgh gets rescued by a mysterious benefactor, who alters his mind and body and sends him into the past, becoming Val. We've been roleplaying in a temporal anomaly!

Once val takes care of the threat I am sure he will administer first aid, he isn't a monster lol

Then take care of them already, before AN develops an Austrian accent...

How about a declaration of action from Val? Perhaps some supporting rolls, if required.

Remember that HW's meat body has only one IP, right now it's your show

That's fine with the distraction with bar tensor should afford me at least one good spray at one goon then the ability to deal with other on even terms before the star arrives.

5 hits on init for Val
+ 3 hits for ambush [6,6,5] = 8 total hits for surprise
vs [4,5,1,1,5,5,3,4,1,3] 3 hits = Init 13 = surprise on the goons.


Val: Agility(8 ) + Automatics(3) + Firing from Cover(-2) + Recoil(-2) [6,3,4,1,4,6,6] = 3 hits
No resistance = Base DV5 + Long Burst DV5 + net hits DV3 = DV13
Goon: Body(5) + Armor Jacket(8 ) + Form Fit(4) [6,2,1,3,5,1,2,5,3,4,1,1,3,3,1,5,2] = 4 hits
Damage taken 9 boxes physical

You could fire a short burst [Agility(8 ) + Automatics(3) + Firing from Cover(-2) + Recoil(-5) = DP4] if you wanted?

Sounds good.

4d6.hits(5) → [5,6,3,5] = (3) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3834077/
For above mentioned rolls

Merry x mas

DV5 + DV2 + DV3 = 10 damage (surprise is in effect on both shots)

Resist: [2,5,3,6,6,6,2,3,5,3,4,1,3,1,1,2,6] = 6 hits; 4 damage taken. 13 boxes total.

Surprise is over and guess what...? Val has initiative. The remaining goon has cover as he has dove into the room amidst the tables and chairs.

Val: Agility(8 ) + Automatics(3) + Firing from Cover(-2) + Recoil(-2)= 7d6.hits(5) → [4,1,5,2,5,5,5] = (4)
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3844522/

Goon
- Reaction(5) + Partial Cover(2) [3,4,1,3,2,6,3] = 1 hit
- SMG(5) + Long Burst(5) + Net Hits(3) = DV13
- Body(5) + Armor Jacket( + Form Fit(4) [5,5,2,5,1,6,5,3,4,3,1,6,3,6,6,6,1] = 9 hits

Goon takes 4 boxes physical.
- Long-Narrow Burst: Agility(4) + SMG(4) + Smartgun(2) + Aim(1) + Firing from cover(-2) + Recoil(-1) [5,5,5,3,3,4,6,2] = 4 hits

Val: Roll Reaction + Full Cover(4)

10d6.hits(5) → [1,6,6,5,5,4,5,2,2,6] = (6)
Reaction+full cover http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3845663/

Ok. Val's 3rd pass.

If there is a roll with that, let it rip.

Agility(8 ) + Automatics(3) + Firing from Cover(-2) + Recoil(-2)=7d6
7d6.hits(5) → [4,5,6,3,2,4,3] = (2)
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3848066/

Goon
- Reaction(5) + Partial Cover(2) [1,5,6,4,6,6,1] = 4 hits

Initiative, Round #2:
- 18(3) Val: Initiative(12) [1,6,6,3,2,5,3,2,5,1,6,6] = 6 hits
- 14(2) Goon: Initiative(9,2) +wounds(-1) [3,5,5,5,2,6,4,6] = 5 hits
- 10(1) Hardwire: Initiative(8,1) [1,4,2,6,6,1,4,2] = 2 hits
- 09(1) Billy: Initiative(7) [1,4,6,2,4,5,3] = 2 hits

Val is up, again.

i am assuming val is now out of ammunition so he will change clips.

Try http://babelfish.altavista.com/

You are. Do you drop the first clip to the floor with your smartgun link or eject it and pocket it?

Letting it slip out and then pocket the empty clip, don't want to leave evidence if I have to make a quick escape.

Goon:
- Long-Wide Burst: Agility(4) + SMG(4) + Smartgun(2) + Aim(1) + Firing from cover(-2) + Recoil(-1) + Wounds(-1) [2,4,5,3,3,4,4] = 1 hit

Billy
- Resists: Reaction(4) + Cover(2) + Wide-Burst(-5) = [5] = 1 hit
- Shotgun (Narrow Spread): Agility(3) + Long Arms(1) + Firing from Cover(-2) [3,1] Critical Glitch

Hardwire is up.

If a goon is there I'll take a shot (AGI 3 + Pistols 3 + Smartlink = DP 8, Gel rounds), else delay action till a target presents itself.

Hardwire:
- Taking a shot: AGL(3) + Pistols(3) + Smartlink(2)+Shooting From Cover(-2) [5,3,3,6,3,4]= 2 hits

Goon
- Reaction(4) + Cover(2) [6,4,6,2,5,5] = 4 hits

Val is up

I assume a AGI firearms check, gymnastics test too will be needed I will post it tomorrow

Val
- Agility(8 ) + Automatics(3) + Running(-2) + Recoil(-2)=7d6 [3,2,6,6,3,1,1] = 2 hits

Goon
- Reaction(4) + 2nd Reaction(-1) [4,2,3] = 0 hits; DV12S + 2AP
- Body(4) + Armor Jacket(6) + Form Fit(1) + Gel(2) [2,4,1,5,4,1,3,1,1,6,5,6,6] = 5 hits; Takes 7S

Val
- Agility(8 ) + Automatics(3) + Running(-2) + Recoil(-5)=4d6 [4,2,1,3] = 0 hits

Goon
- Long-Wide Burst: Agility(4) + SMG(4) + Smartgun(2) + Aim(1) + Prone(-2) + Recoil(-1) + Wounds(-1) + Stun(-2) [4,2,2,3,2] = 0 hits

And that gents is the end of combat....

I check out goon #1 (while keeping the revolver at his face) and Tadgh. Any sign of life on them?

Harwire
- Charisma(3) + Con(Defaulting -1) + Plausible(1) [5,1,6] = 2 hits

Thug
- Charisma(2) + Con(1) [3,6,2]

Sneaky Russian! We shall see where this goes

Seems like we're stalling. What next?

Unless the guy suddenly gets a lot more talkative I'd say it is time to get going. Find some abandoned building where we can go through the stuff looted from their pockets, Mr dwarf can come along or else we'll contact him later.

I'll wait till Mr Dwarf answers before making the next post

Where to gents?

FYI val would have taken the weapons for luck bills to pay and all, I think the most logical would be to doc phin again and ask about Athena wher about seeing as Tadgh was asking about her.

Contrary to Hardwire I do not know one, would be nice if Jack could provide a location

(Once there we could still decide to go to the Doc, although Hardwire does not really know him)

Doc Phins is the best place to go to drive the story forward. Val met Athena through Doc Phin.

How's that for a post?

Damn, I had hoped to get her out alive

Are there any faces in the video?

Yes. Pretty clear.

I love it that nobody ever wears balaclavas...

Compiling an R 4 Data Sprite: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3957941/
Resonance 5 + Compiling 5 + VR 2: 12d6.hits(5) → [4,1,2,2,1,5,6,2,1,4,1,5] = (3)
Sprite Resists with Rating 4: 4d6.hits(5) → [2,1,1,2] = (0) Critical Glitch
Soak Fading with Resonance 5 + Intuition 5: 10d6.hits(5) → [1,4,4,3,5,2,3,5,4,5] = (3)

PS: As optional power, Linguasoft (Russian) sounds like a plan

Crap. 2 weeks passed again. I think I need less RL and more fantasy...

In order to not bog down forward momentum, go ahead and post the sprite's orders and anything else relevant in your post. I moved ahead to Athena's. I will pull catch up together in the my next post.
