Good point with the distraction. That could very well be.

Still, those drones also need to be dealt with. And they put some hurt out, already. Hopefully, Selina will be able to help with that using her healing magic.

Just chiming in here to avoid a potential lock up. The next turn is Thanee's but I'm worried she'd expect kokepan to have Tubesnake use a free action to say something, and so might not post.

No, no. I'm aware. Will probably post later today.

Sorry for being so obtuse, but what can Willie and Bongo see as they are hurrying down the inner concourse? Near as I can tell, there are no 'unfriendlies' visible to the two of them.

Correct. Everyone they can see on the 100th floor is dressed in the general manner of one of Monifa's crew, and at a glance all Orks.

A few chipheads are staring up from the lower floors, but most folks are making themselves scarce.

The maintenance tower is still buttoned up.

Selina Initiative 11 with 3 IPs (Turn 2)

Knowledge of drones: 9d6t5 2

He'll transmit what he discovers, as soon as relevant. Having established the tactical situation and integrated the data, his next move will be to point the Flyspy at the other incursion to verify that it looks similar.

Nothing appears to be a target during the first combat round, so Willie and Bongo continue on their run to get to where Monifa is.

Initiative, round 2:

Willie: 14 dice: 5 hits ==> 19

Bongo: 8 dice: 2 hits ==> 10

Moving things along a little bit, mostly drones advancing.

Tubesnakes initiative would still be good to have, but not so relevant now.

BTW, it would be cool, if we could somehow get an overview over the turns?

Something simple like this... would help tremendously to understand what is going on when.

Does that seem about right? Probably not completely.

I could elaborate when I get to a real computer.

But something to be careful of is that, due to Bongo's sharp ears, there's now action happening in three different areas.

I tend to call the inner metal walkway all the "front doors" of the apartments open to the promenade.

There's the apartment Selina is in and the one the flyspy visited. They are narrow and long (4 meters by 30 meters), so there is a 13 meter long hallway connecting the living room and balcony to the kitchen/dining area. With three bedrooms and a bathroom in between.

The drones the flyspy saw had really been more in the living room , but we're shooting down the hall.

The type and location of the drones in the apartment with Selina aren't known, except that Bello indicated he shot a small one, and it sounds like there's a vectored thrust one here too.

Abeje is trying to use the kitchen Island for cover against the hallway while having an SMG ready and lined up on it. Bello (who I forgot to write out his second action) has cover using a trunk fridge also covering the hallway with his SMG. Lenny, Tubesnake, and Lisa are completely hiding from LOS from the hallway. All in a eight meter by four meter space with some dead bodies on the floor.

Bongo and Willie are trying to run around the promenade to get to where they last saw Monifa. She'd indicated she was doing some training there as I recall

FYI on a vacation until Wednesday.

Might try to do some airport posting, though I'd be away from notes and books unless I bring them.

Yes. Bongo and Willie are trying to get to Monifa.

I'm back.

You guys are really solid on mechanics and the general setting, but something I've found helps with those might help here. That's stating intent OOC if you aren't sure about something IC, or simply asking if your action would leave you particularly vulnerable.

I guess on that note Selina is the only person in the room who currently is standing entirely up and doesn't have any form of cover. However she isn't sure yet how many drones are in that hallway, whether Bello disabled the one in the front, and generally if they're able to get into a position to directly attack her or even if they're exactly trying to rush to do so. However with her operating on 3 IPs, she's pretty confident none can get clear of that hallway from roughly where they're shooting in this first initiative pass.

Welcome back!

Where are we in the initiative at the moment? I have no idea.

Thanee

Selina is up.

Oh, okay.

Bye
Thanee

Everybody knows what a kitchen island is right?

Also poor Lenny trying to do AR hacking without extra initiative passes.

Only a temporary solution.

This will be for Tubesnake's next turn. Don't want to pose out of turn, regardless of mystical kitchens in the ocean.
