Hmm... could Raven send the spirit on a remote task (after the healing service), just to have it stay out of the way and sustain the spell until it becomes permanent, and thus free her up to summon a new spirit?

Can the spell still be sustained, when the spirit dematerializes?

That might be better than having it stay around.

If so, I might change my posted actions a little.

So the GM says I don't have to burn edge to stabilize? Rock and roll.

Thanks for dragging my PC's bleeding carcass, guys.

Just remember all this trouble we went through when it's your turn to save our butts.

Let's see... what is our group going to do...

Seeing as we have no box. Wyrm, Electrode, Nurse and whoever else is riding with us (probably 0day) are going to go down Elizabeth, cross Traffic Street, wind around the streets to make sure we don't have a tail and then head to Awakened Auburn so that Nurse can have a proper facility to treat Auran's wounds. (Thyn is welcome to follow as he'll probably be carrying Toy Robot in the van)

Electrode's hovercraft is going to take a north-easterly route to the river to give the remaining drone a chance to hop on and get away. The hovercraft will go north till it crosses main, up into the industrial park, then try to make a south-easterly course to the school where electrode will pick it up in the morning.

Wyrm's Init: 5 dice
Hits: 2 [5] [5] 3 1 3
Initiative: 7
0day's Init: 7 dice
Hits: 1 [5] 1 2 1 2 2 2
Initiative: 8
Electrode's Init: 7 dice
Hits: 2 2 3 1 [6] 2 [6] 3
Initiative: 9
Drone2's Init: 8 dice
Hits: 4 3 [6] 2 1 [6] [5] [5] 4
Initiative: 12

You realize that the heal spell, like first aid, takes 1 round/box of damage to heal right?
Meaning Toy won't be walking right away, she won't be down to 8 boxes till we're already underway.

Really? Where does it say that?

All I know is, that there is a time needed for the effect to become permanent, but the 'temporary effect' is already there when the spell is cast.

Is that some general rule about healing damage (regardless of the source of the healing)?

(Don't have my book here. )

I think, You´re right, Thanee

IIRC it takes some rounds to have the healing become permanent, but the effect shows instantly.

Allso, regardless, when the effect sets in, Toy can´t be further healed through 1st Aid, now.

I only know the part in the spell section, where it says how permanent spells work, and that strongly suggests, that the spell immediately takes effect, but needs to be sustained for a number of turns (24 in this case) before its effect becomes permanent.

Anyways... could you answer my question above (5th post on this page), about the remote service?

I'm rather unsure about all that stuff.

Bye
Thanee

Here goes My Initiative for Round two.

Casting multiple spells:

Do I first calculate the dice pool with all modifiers and then split it up?

Or do I split up Magic+Sorcery only and then apply all modifiers to each roll?

I suppose the first, but not sure about that.

Bye
Thanee

14P, where the heck do you get that from?

The Axe only 'does' 9P, and he got 5 Hits, I got 3 Defense... that means at most it suffers 11P.
Defense roll was 5 hits on 8 dice...

Meaning it only took 6P damage in the end....

Unlike some people I don't play the 'averages' game. Cause you can get super rolls or you can sucky rolls, so no point in putting any expectation into it.

Casting some spells for the 3rd Combat Turn:

[2nd IP]

Levitate Force 3 on Toy Robot: 0 hits
Drain Resistance (3 DV): 5 hits (no Drain)

Levitate Force 3 on Spirit of Man: 1 hit
Drain Resistance (3 DV): 6 hits (no Drain)

Couldn't some of those Drain hits be on the other tests...

[3rd IP]

Levitate Force 3 on Toy Robot: 2 hits
Drain Resistance (2 DV): 2 hits (no Drain)

Bye

@ GM & TinkerGnome

About TF observing in detail (5 hits), remember he´s got Thermographic, Vision Magnification, Nightvision, Spacial Recognizer, Directional Microphone and Sund Filter (which he will set to filter out the sound of Halo´s own bike).

Tao will look for number of persuers, armament, damagestatus, etc. among other stuff. I think for 5 hits he will get about everything there is to see, hear and smell from his position with the help of his sensor enhancements.

Would someone care to summarize all the vehicles involved in the retreat along with the directions of retreat? I know that Halo and Tao will be decoying it to the south-southwest, but besides that, I'm unclear. I'll give you a listing of pursuers as soon as the chase actually starts. There are likely to be a couple of groups of pursuers, all totaled.

Also, was the injured drone going to attack during the end of the second round and the third round?

China Doll actions are slightly contingent on hooking up with JJ, Aziz, and Felix. But I think it generally south then east. I am not sure right now what rides everyone has. e.g. Does China Doll need to take someone as a passenger? There's a difference in actions she'll take depending on whether or not she has a passenger.

JAX has a ride, and I think Steel and 0Day also are provided for?

Is anyone else coming down to the vehicles through the gym? If not, Shade will be making it down himself and heading out in Combat Turn 3, possibly lingering to help cover those who haven't made it yet.

Thanee - Where did Raven park her bike? Shade would probably grab his bike and head over to meet Raven to cover her and Toy's escape.

EDIT: And Shade has his own wheels so he's covered.

So is it assumed that we all get on our bikes and take off? I'm a little lost. Did TG ever say one way or the other if we were doing this by rules or by narrative? I seem to recall rules, but it sure doesn't seem like we are since we're being shunted off onto our bikes...? Or am I more lost than I thought?

Somewhere outside and around the corner, not right in front of the Y, so it's not where combat is likely to happen. Or in other words, in a good spot to escape, if necessary.

Bye
Thanee

I think for Bronze, Nurse, Auran, 0day, Electrode, and maybe Steel? as well as Thyn and maybe Toy (In Thyns van) are probably going for the quickest way out of dodge, I think Nurse or Electrode was driving lead, so I'm not sure what path she was taking... but they were all headed to the doctor's office... for obvious reasons... and the tech-nuts might still be able to help out from the VR while Nurse has clean conditions and a familiar surrounding to do her work... (The ride in Thyn's van for any injured was available as well... and was stated earlier through the comms so you've heard it if you need it)

Hi...still alive, just been terribly busy.

This is how we run away!
Drone 2 will fire at the first mage IP2... if that doesn't have any effect, then Electrode is going to send it off to join up with the hovercraft in IP3 - rather than wait for round 3.

Electrode, 0day, Wyrm are in the Buggy. Nurse and 0day are on her bike. Wyrm will drop Thermosmoke grenades on Hunt to help cover the escape, then I'm commanding Auran's bike from VR.
My sprite, with her last service is going to scramble our trails to make it harder for the hackers in their group to track us.

We're going to zig-zag through the streets east of traffic street to ward off any chase before heading north to Nurse's father's shadow clinic to heal the wounded...
Thyn is most likely doing simular and should rendez-vous with us there. That way we can get Toy and Auran healed.

Raven will proceed on the way, she has started; going through a backside window, levitating the spirit, Toy and herself down (at the beginning of the next turn), and then going full speed for her bike and away, thanks to the Movement power of the spirit. Once reasonably safe, she will use her comm to get in touch with the others and to meet them somewhere.

Bye
Thanee

All right, looking at what is posted, Shade will be taking the quick way down to the vehicles via the gym in Combat Turn 3, IP 2. Then he'll use IP 3 to start riding over to Raven's bike in the back. He should arrive there at approximately the same time as those two make it to the bike. He'll ride cover for them as they escape, with the general intention of meeting up with the others at Nurse's clinic, to get medical attention for Toy. (Yes I realize she can't get First Aid now that she's been magically healed, but Shade doesn't know that). I'll get an IC post up to this effect as soon as I can.

Also, at the following link we have a diagram of our turf, but I cannot find a key that goes with the numbers on the map. Would someone please tell me where to find it or what the numbers represent? Planning an escape doesn't work very well if I don't know where we are first.

410 Crash - Turf - Current Boundaries

I think everyone can safely post actions up till 13:30:09 Sunday, April 13 2070. This is 3 combat turns from the start of the scene.

Eh, I'm going to wait then. The only thing I can post is JJ's movement from one room to another. Not really worth posting, IMO.

did we wanna just make a wiki page for running away? and put up when we're most likely able to break out (i.e. combat round 3, 4, or 5) and everyone can put up the path that they are trying to get out with (on streets i mean) and then we can have the actions sorted after we clear that up?

I know what you mean, Silo Everyone is now aware Nurse and 0day are on Nurse's bike and after a 'lose teh tail' route will end up at her father's clinic to heal (first aid as applicable, medicine for those who need longer term care at this point - especially Toy) injured coming in, so not much point in me trying to work something up ATM. I'll let Dra and the others in the IRC cover it for me and focus on just staying caught up on the boards

*hugs*

Yea, Rokur, that sounds great.

@ Halo
Sorry about that

Um, in the Raven/Shade/Toy/whoever else group, I think Toy has the highest edge, right? Mine is only a 2, so I vote I NOT make the roll for us.

My intention in that group would be to try and avoid pursuit. Thanee, Ronin, anyone else with us, agree/disagree?

Prease allso take into acount the other gang´s turfs, with your flight plans, as I´m sure, all of you would (just wanted to post the Link for everyones conveniance).

@ WinterRat
I´m afraight TG meant some driver should roll edge, so Toy probably won´t do the job. If I understood this wrong, however.. YAY ToyRobot

EDIT:
Allso for conveniance sake, here is the Link to our legendary Turf map, compleat with legend (thanks to Dranem )
