Mister Juan
Sorry for holding up the game frown.gif I'm stuck at work pretty intensively today, and will probably be here until late.
Rystefn
Pretty hypocrite I'd be to say anything about another player being slow after all the disappearing I've done during this game (including running off to two different countries). I'm just hoping this all comes out as awesomely as it is in my head.
Abschalten
I want to get the scene rolling tonight. If I don't get a roll from Mister Juan by the time I get home, I'll just look at his sheet and roll for him. I hope that's alright with you, Mister Juan.
Rystefn
For future reference, if I'm holding up the game, feel free to post on my behalf if it becomes necessary to move the game forward.

Noted, though I won't try to abuse it too much. smile.gif

Speaking of which, where's DrZaius and Lahmslea? They've gone dark, so to speak.
Rystefn
I haven't heard anything. Thanks, by the way, for the phrase "suppress with extreme prejudice." It is now a permanent part of my vocabulary.

Time to finally kill the fucking sniper. Would be smarter to take out the guys with the assault rifles but Sam wants this one.

Free Action: Take Aim

Simple Action: Long narrow burst (+5 DV) at the now-rifleless sniper, 3 recoil compensated by Gas Vent 3:
Agility 10 + Automatics 6 + Specialization 2 + Smartlink 2 + Reflex Recorder 1 + Take Aim 1 - Recoil 2 = 20 Dice
20d6.hits(5) → [3,4,3,2,1,1,6,3,3,6,2,6,1,3,5,1,2,6,6,4] = (6)


Simple Action: Short narrow burst (+2 DV) at the now-rifleless sniper:
Agility 10 + Automatics 6 + Specialization 2 + Smartlink 2 + Reflex Recorder 1 - Recoil 3 = 18 Dice
18d6.hits(5) → [6,5,5,2,2,1,6,4,5,5,2,6,3,6,6,6,4,2] = (10)
Rastus
You know CM, I can't help but wonder why you bother with Take Aim actions and short bursts. You could easily let loose on full-auto and do just fine.
Combat Mage
They are pretty good at dodging. With a full burst I'd have only one roll with -6 recoil and if that was a bad roll with few hits he would likely dodge it.
Doc Chase
They also took a flashbang to the face, which is what, a -2? -4?

I was really hoping you were going to do that! Thanks a whole lot! If it happens again that I fall off the face of the earth for a day or two, please, do roll for me.
If you roll badly, I will simply curse you and your unborn children. And their children. So yea, no big deal wink.gif
Mister Juan
@Abs
-I take it Dexter needs a simple action to pick up his carbine again?
-How far are "AR Bad Guy 1" and "AR Bad Guy 2", and how far apart?
Abschalten
Only one guy was affected by the flashbang, the one right outside that door you guys came out of.

Nah, you don't need to use a simple action to get the carbine out. *handwave*

As for how far apart they are... um... the length of the building? Say they're 20 meters apart.

The first AR Bad Guy is right outside the door. He didn't get very far.

Mister Juan
Free Action: Aim

Complexe Action: Full Narrow Burst at Bad Guy still uninjured (+9DV)
M23 Carbine, 40/40c, DV 6P

Dicepool: Agility 9 + Automatics 4 + Smartlink 2 + Aim 1 : 16 dices
Recoil: Full Burst -9 + M23 Recoil Comp 4 + Cyberarm Gyromount 3 : -2
Total dicepool: 14

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2656349/
Rolls: 4,2,6,4,3,6,1,4,3,3,6,3,3,6 : 4 hits
Total DV: 15P

M23 Carbine, 30/40c

So nice of Dex to join us but... Why isn't he on the rooftop? Wouldn't it hurt if he jumped off? nyahnyah.gif
Doc Chase
He's Cromo Blanco, he probably has enough dice to soak the landing. biggrin.gif
Rastus
He's not Chromo Blanco, he's Alamo. You don't call people 'Chrome White' or 'Crazy'. You call them shit that requires a little explination like 'Beacon' or 'Pip', that's what nicknames are all about!

Yeah, I noticed. Might want to double check the last posts header next time. Also, you miscalculated the damage: Your M23 does 6P and you got 4 hits, bringing the base damage to 10P for purposes of determing if it bypasses armor, which then goes up to 19P after you factor in the narrow full-auto barrage.

I never factor hits in.
It's mostly just in case the GM decides to add on a few modifiers I wasn't aware of, or just didn't account for.

Perception+Intuition test. Add +3 since you are actively looking.

Also, I have to say if Rystefn hadn't broke up that ambush, that could have quickly gotten quite nasty. smile.gif
Rystefn
You're welcome. biggrin.gif

...or, in the immortal words of Tenacious D: "That's fuckin' teamwork!"
Abschalten
@Rystefn
With that last IC post, you just won the thread. Game Over. wink.gif (Not really.)
Rystefn
Thanks. I'm really proud of that one. I'm kind of running with the idea that he learned as much about how the world works from Hollywood as from the mean streets of Caracas at this point, but it seems to work.
Rastus
At this rate, Smiley is going to just lock the damn car in a garage and never take it out. Of course, it'd probably still take damage through ridiculous means. A bomb goes off in another part of the city; shrapnel travels far and fast enough to go through the garage wall and hit the car.

Here goes!

Int 3 + Perception 5 + Perceptive 2 + Enhanced Perception 3 + Actively Looking 3 = 16 dice

16d6.hits(5) → [2,2,2,6,3,5,5,3,2,5,5,6,2,3,5,3] = (7)

Ka-fraggin'-boom.

Edit@ Combat Mage - You don't have shock gloves, but you do have a shock hand. biggrin.gif

Damn, you're right. I feel stupid now. embarrassed.gif

I'm starting to think that cheesing out on Perception pools isn't a bad idea.

My muenster was entirely unintentional - I could always add the Enhanced Vision to my glasses for another 3 dice... biggrin.gif

Notice all the details she saw even two blocks away. That's what you get with 7 fucking hits on a Perception test.
Rystefn
Yeah, every team needs a seriously awesome lookout.
DrZaius
I apologize for ducking out of the main thread for so long; I haven't had an opportunity to think about how Stephen would want to get himself involved in this mess smile.gif

@Rastus
You know the drill. Gimme your Driving test with the relevant bonuses and modifiers.
Rastus
Driving test: Reaction 7 + Skill 4(6) + Hot-sim 2 + Control Rig 2 = 17 dice
17d6.hits(5) → [6,6,2,3,3,5,4,1,5,4,5,6,6,2,1,3,1] = (7)

Hopefully that should do something.
Abschalten
I've been a bit slow to respond the past few days. I let myself willingly be abducted by my wife, and she's subjected me to all sorts of horrible things, like going to the movies, cooking out on the grill, and getting copious amounts of sex. All this so I could have a stress-free weekend before I start school back. I should be resurfacing now. I'll be making posts later on tonight and moving things along again.
Doc Chase
Perfectly understandable. Mud & Blood 2 had another update relatively recently so I got back into the 'killin nazi bidness'. Hopefully everyone else is about. nyahnyah.gif
Rystefn
This last weekend was my birthday, and all this week I have hair appointments, so my evenings are pretty full (people want to get their stuff done before Burning Man), but I should still have enough free time to post unless the pace of the game really takes off.
Abschalten
Actually once we wrap up the current scene I'll probably be having us all go into about 36 hours of downtime. People can try to track down gear, learn spells, work some leads, and generally have chances to get into trouble. It allows me to do stuff for individuals or groups and possibly throw in some more individual plotline stuff. It also makes the game feel a bit more open and less like we're riding on rails. The individual PCs can just lay low and watch TV or they can try to do something exciting. They can stick together as a group or fan out separately.
Rastus
Riding the rails? Looks to me like we were blowing up the rails, then tossing the scrap parts at people. Either way, be nice for Smiley to have a minute to repair his car. Wonder if Zaius and Lamhy will be standing in the same spot and doing nothing for those 36 hours as well. wink.gif
Martin_DeVries_Institute
I'm just getting into the swing of a new job, which is why I haven't been posting as much, so hopefully that will settle soon. Glad to hear of the downtime for PCs... it'll give me a reason to not have to post so much...
Combat Mage
Looking forward to some downtime. Sangre needs to visit an armorer/weapons dealer badly and there are still multiple clues to his identity that he wants to follow up on.
Doc Chase
Sonora's downtime will be making some introductions and asking for same from her contacts - see if Sergei or Sister Mary have a chop shop contact. I'm sure Sergei can resupply the team with weapons.
Mister Juan
@Abs
Is Mono on the hit list?

You oughta ask one of them to supply the team with real estate. We'd only benefit from gaining a communal safehouse until we can steal a giant mansion with it's own garage, helipad, and landing strip for our purposes.

Mono is NOT on the hitlist.

Didn't he already give you a well-armed van and a couple of bucks? Can only imagine the conversation when you ask...

Morris: "Uh huh... so about six or eight hours after I gave you some money and an armored van with it's own machinegun, you met up with two targets, got made by Caucqi's, blew up two streets, recruited three or so unknown guys who happened to be around, and left a bunch of bodies to get picked clean by bums, gangers, cops, and cleaner teams, now you want a nice little clubhouse. What next? An IFV with a railgun cannon for it's main gun so you can flatten downtown before the Azzies make their first military push?"
