Does that help or am I still misinterpreting the battlefield or the rules? I kind of want to save my complex action until I see what is around her.

Described and posted.

Cool, any place to fly up, down or further into the container?

Nope the people inside found the concealed door to the upper level but it's currently closed and one presumes locked. But then fire consumes all does it not?

Happy Monday all! Take your weekly drop of karma and to keep you in the loop - we're still in escrow so nothing has knocked us out yet.

When JxJxA finishes his post I will throw up Widget's bit then it will be Fat Man's turn.

Kat Doktor/WearzManySkins you still with us - going to give him/her till next Monday then if nothing assume they have dropped out.

Cool, dematerializing and flying up to the upper container.

Fat Man you're up!

What do the container walls look like they're made of?

Actually, by "walls" I really mean "ceilings."

LOL!

Looks like reinforced material (Armor 8/Structure 9) for the ceiling.

Fat Man f7 Powerbolts the ceiling near the trapdoor (but not the trapdoor itself).

Spellcasting 19d6 = 5 hits
Drain Resist 12d6 = 8 hits (wtf) no damage taken.

That should be 2 net hits over OR (assuming it counts as "manufactured high-tech") for 9P, blowing a 1m hole in the ceiling.

Sorry about the slightly slow posting; was traveling.

Happy Monday all! Record your weekly drip of karma.

Going to throw up a post then it's Shen followed by Twist!

No problem UmaroVI thanks for the update.

Looks like we lost WearzManySkins so I wanted to ask did you all want me to recruit a new player for the thread? Sound off with an opinion or vote!

The shen casts a force 5 stunbolt on the woman who fell out of the ceiling and gives its opinion about her ancestry.

Spellcasting 8d6 (wound penalty) = 3 hits
Soak drain 10d6 vs 1S = 3 hits, 0 damage

And I'm almost certain that she smells of elderberries, too.

Hehe!

Willpower for startled woman
4d6.hits(5)=3

Next is Twist!

Shooting the woman once.

Shooting the woman scrambling for cover. (17d6.hits(5)=3)

Can I get the stats on the shot as well please - damage, AP etc.

Damage 5P AP-1, silenced.

Sorry about my lack of posts, going thru a Divorce at the moment, attention is elsewhere at the moment. But I will get it together,

Ouch. Best of luck! Very sorry to hear it.

Thanks for letting us know what was going on and I hope the best for all involved. Feel free to take the time you need - I can just puppet you for now and then you can take back over when you're back. Just let me know what you want to do.

Soak
6d6.hits(5)=1

Edge Reroll
5d6.hits(5)=1

OUCH!

Ayo then Eklipse.

Well, since my pistol's useless, did she drop hers down here? We saw the holster.

Perceive in Detail:
Intuition(3) + Perception(3) + Image Enhancement (3) - 2 for elec. stun - 2 wound modifiers. (5d6.hits(5)=1)

2 short narrow bursts at injured woman:

Agi 5 + Automatics 3 - injured 1 = 7d6.hits(5)=1 - first burst is fully compensated, assuming smartlink is still down.

Agi 5 + Automatics 3 - injured 1 - 2nd burst 3 = 4d6.hits(5)=1

Not my best rolls!

If she somehow fails to dodge them then damage is 5P + narrow burst modifier (+3 I think but away from books).

Reaction for 1st burst
4d6.hits(5)=0

Ok come on!

Edge Reroll
4d6.hits(5)=1

Reaction -1 die
3d6.hits(5)=0

Jesus Fucking Christ! (please let me know if the language is too much - not looking to offend)

Egde Reroll all out now
3d6.hits(5)=1

Give me a sec to post in IC then I will let you know who's up next!

Body + Willpower (2) trying to stand up while wounded
7d6.hits(5)=0

Ok Invisible Castle hates this NPC.

She will crawl to take cover behind the fallen crates.

Zerone is up!

As usual add the weekly drip of 1 karma to your sheet.

Is the angle right that the old lady could have seen my reflection in the screen? Trying to decide if she knows I'm coming for her or if she's prepping for downstairs coming up.

Looking forward to the Hacker vs Grandma cagefight.

Nope the angle is all wrong - she still seems unaware of you.

Ok, give me a day or two to post. I'm in Busan right now and my suitcase with my ethernet cable is (hopefully) in transit to the school today. Thanks to that making me miss my flight, I got to see a backalley in Seoul while staying in a love motel.

Fun times.

Ok, back. Is gas still coming out of that grenade? Zerone has the asthma negative quality, and probably would want to stay as far away from something that could trigger an attack.

Also, I can pop out my medkit and try applying triage for some of the wounded.

The grenade does appear to still be putting out whatever its putting out into the air.

Zerone is pulling out his medkit and ready to help people. I'd run in, but I'm not a front-liner and I didn't even think of buying a gas mask. x_x

Alrighty, grandma's going down.

6d6.hits(5)=2 I'm really hopping that she doesn't know that I'm coming, and is Surprised.

Base damage is 3P (AP 0), 5P if she's unaware. (Hooray for no defense roll!)

Of course, I think I'm the only combatant with a single IP on the board at the moment...

Soak
3d6.hits(5)=1

Edge Reroll
2d6.hits(5)=0

Ok Invisible Castle hates all my NPCs.

Kat Doktor is up - I'll give him/her till Tuesday and if no post I will puppet the character to keep things moving forward.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July - we BBQed and ate like gods.

As usual add 1 point of Karma to your character sheet.

I took some liberties with the post for Kat Doktor but i don't think anyone will mind.

It being the end of the pass I need everyone who was exposed to the gas grenade to soak 10S. Chemical Protection on your armor will of course apply and the patch that was slapped on your neck adds 6 dice to the test. You will suffer an additional –2 dice pool modifier to all actions due to confusion and disorientation for 10 minutes.

Initiative Order:

Amara 20/1 IP
Widget 15/2 IP
Fat Man 14/2 IP
Shen 14/1 IP
Twist 13/2 IP
Ayo 12/2 IP
Eklipse 12/1 IP
Zerone 10/2 IP
Mystery Person #5 10/1 IP
Mystery Person #6 9/1 IP
Mystery Person #4 9/1 IP

Amara is up!

5 hits on soak test, with 1 edge spent to reroll failures.

Amara is in the container that the woman fell out of. Does she see anything or should I have her make a perception roll?

Also, she was exposed to the gas but has Immunity to Normal Weapons at 12. Does that mean she doesn't take damage because it's treated as hardened?

The spirit would be immune to the gas.

Without a roll I can give you what is immediately obvious - a lone figure carrying a firearm. You can Perceive in Detail for more or roll with that.

Fat Man Toxin Resistance 11 (body) + 4 (chemical protection) + 6 (patch) = 21d6 (10 hits).

His Shen is immune (ITNW 10).

Good enough for me for the moment since she has to rematerialize anyway.

Rematerializing, talking and done.

Happy Monday all!

One more point of karma to your sheets and I think I still need a soak test from Fenris which I will make him do tonight since's I'm married to him.

I am going to post for Widget and her actions then Fat Man is up!

Damage soak >.<

Body(3) + Patch(6) (9d6.hits(5)=3)

So, I'm currently at -10 dice to all my rolls. That would be me running for the van next action.

Just for my own notes, I'm at 6 boxes of physical, 7 boxes of stun.

Fat Man casts a force 7 Stunbolt at the woman.

Spellcasting 19d6 = 2 hits

Well, that sucked.

Missed the soak test:

Body 4 + Toughness 1 + Slap patch 6 = 11d6.hits(5)=1 - sucks to be me!

Eklipse has 3P and 9S damage. With the additional -2 for disorientation, that puts him on -6 to rolls. Time to stagger out of the container.

Willpower
4d6.hits(5)=1

She's out for the count.

Shen is up - just give me a minute to get the IC post up please.

The shen deactivates Materialization, and starts looking around on the astral (flying through walls as necessary), trying to scout out the rest of this and the other container quickly.

Assensing 5 (intuition) + 5 (skill) -2 (wounds) -2 (electric) = 6d6, 1 hit.

It's looking for the auras of living people and will alert Fat Man (over the spirit-summoner link) if it finds anything new.

Happy Monday! Had a great Pride weekend with the family and I hope everyone else had a fantastic one as well. Record your weekly drip of karma.

Posted what the panda saw.

Twist you're up!

Twist? You there?

Sorry, didn't realize it had been that many days since I checked the thread!

Can Fat Man figure out what location the spirit found the body and the injured person at? I'm a bit hazy on the directions.

It's Monday again!! Hope you all had a great weekend. Add 1 point of karma to your characters and I also wanted to let everyone know I will be on vacation the 1st and 2nd week of August so posting will be light to non-existent - all depends on what we end up doing day to day while on vacation.

Fat Man the body and the injured person are near the front of the container 2nd level while the hole/trapdoor is near the rear. Does that help?

Twist so you're delaying your action till everyone gets in the van? If not then feel free to clarify for me.

Ayo is up!

Nope, that is correct! I'm gonna run rear guard...I hope.
