Ecc--The IC is a killer-8 (Expert Offense 2) and you are going to crash it.

Ok, my DF drops to 14 and I surpress it.

Running Analyze on the file needed.

10 09 08 08 05 05 04 04 03 03 02 02 01 01 01 01

Ecc--The file in question has a databomb, is encrypted, and weighs in at an impressive 4000 mps. Obviously worth a big payoff if you can get her out.

Locate Paydata operation. I have an Index Channel of 8.

16 13 10 08 05 05 05 05 05 04 02 02 02 01 01 01

bumping this back up in case you missed my roll.

Thanks Ecc---I saw it but got swamped at the end of last week.

No prob, it happens to me all the time.

I'm back!

Assuming the Defuse and Decrypt operations have happened successfully, I'll go ahead and start downloading it.

I/O speed is 700, should take 6 rounds to dump it all on my deck. And I have exactly 4000mps of storage space

Init of 29

Init of 32

Fenris--Are you going to get involved with the fight or just stay out of it?

Deckers--Wow! One sec decker you figure you'll just bluff him, but three is a fight...I'll remember in the future.

I'll post the Initiative as it stands now.

Nanashi 32
RenDeck1 31
Trixie 29
RenDeck2 28
RenDeck3 25

As far as I know, since I've already completed the download process, it should continue without me, and I can act normally. Under that assumption, I'll jump in. If I need to stay out of it to stay active on the download for some reason, I'll keep the download going.

I believe my initiative is 24 (Sensor+Evasion/2 +1d6+3d6 response increase, right?)

Fenris--I believe you can fight while you download...just don't get booted or you have a corrupted file.

It's going to be my prerogative that you perform a free action "Null Operation" to maintain the link once each round.

Sensor and Evasion don't come into it at all. Its done as normal, Reaction + Dice. If you are running pure DNI, then it would be Intel+6+4D6. The 6 is assuming that you have three levels of Reaction Enhancers.

Dude! I'm so stupid. I forgot to add on the 6 Reaction I get for the 3 levels of Reaction Enhancers that Otaku get... Umm... McQ, my Init just bumped up to 35. Sorry.

Ecc--That puts you at the top of the order.

Attack: 17 09 08 08 04 04 03 02 01 01

I'm hitting them with a Killjoy 8. It does 8D Stun damage to the decker (not their connection, but the decker themselves). Saving my other simple action for a parry manuver.

[edit] Since I'm holding out to parry, whoever attacks me first, have them make a Sensors test against a TN of 9 (my Evasion). I then make an Evasion test with a TN of their Sensors. The number of successes I get over them increases the TN for them to hit me.

[edit2] Actually, I'll just give you my Evasion roll now and you can figure it out from there: 15 04 03 03 03 02 02 02 01

Spending karma to reroll everything but the 15 (cause I'm guessing that is a success): 20 11 10 05 05 05 03 01...

Attack: 11, 8, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1

And Evasion for the parry: 11, 7, 5, 5, 4, 4, 1, 1

McQ: Is this either a Data Archive or Security Network? I have system familiarity with those types of networks, so I may be able to increase my Hacking Pool.

Wow, okay, so I was completely off with my initiative thing , should have been 30.

And McQuillan, can I ready an action to improvise a defense versus any decker that acts after me? In short, if they're not attacking me directly, I'd like to try and improvise a defense to defend one of the other two, if they are attacking me, I'll improvise the defense for myself.

Fenris--Go for it. Throw some dice, one decker will be attacking you.

Trixie 35
Nanashi 32
RenDeck1 31--Initiative is here...
Jack 30
RenDeck2 28
RenDeck3 25

Ecc--This is a data haven.
Whizbang--I need 2 resistance tests from you.
8D with your meatbody
8D against your Icon.

Fenris--You're up.

Body: 5, 4, 4, 3
Deck: 5, 4, 4, 3

Whizbang--Both you and your Icon take a moderate. (Your damage is Physical) Remember to degrade the rating of your armor by 1 pt.

Improvisational defense(w00t!):

Hacking Pool(4): 4,3,1,10

Spending 14 Good Karma to raise Aura Reading form 0 to 4.

Aura Reading Roll: 3, 5, 3, 4

LOL

"Do you know how to fly one of those things?"

"I need a flight program for...."


And I think it's actually a normal astral perception check, with Aura Reading as a complimentary skill.

Aura Reading adds dice directly to Astral Perception checks.

McQ: What kind of damage did I do with my attack? All the IC post says is that I hit.

The decker took a light stun.

Thats it? Whoa. We're in for a fight guys.

So whos up next?

Trixie 35
Nanashi 32
RenDeck1 31
Jack 30
RenDeck2 28
RenDeck3 24 (dropped due to Stun Penalty)--Initiative is here...

On Trixie--No successes on Sensor test, raises TN by 4. 2 Successes on attack. I need 2 resistance tests from you. 8D with your meatbody and 8D against your persona.

On Jack--2 successes on your improvised defense. 9 successes on attack, drops to 7. Damage cycles up to 10D. (If you'd like to karma, 2 more successes on the defense roll will lower the power.)

First thing I just thought of checking on. The attack I hit the decker with was Killjoy, which works like Non-Lethal Black IC, so when you rolled his damage reduction, you should have used Hardening, not an Armor utility. If his Armor and Hardening are the same, then its no biggy, but if they are different, it may make the outcome of my attack change.

On to my rolls... I have Armor of 8, reducing the TN to 2. The ICCM Filter lets me use Willpower instead of Body for my meat test.

Body Test: 07 07 05 05 04 04 03 03 02 (No Damage)
Persona Test: 10 10 05 04 04 03 02 02 01 (No Damage)

My Armor is now reduced to 7.

Also, I just noticed you said this is a Data Archive, so I get my System Familiarity test. The TN is the Host Rating (10), minus 1 because I'm Otaku and we're cool like that. Each success gives me an extra Hacking Pool while in the system.

11 09 04 04 02 01 (2 extra pool)

Ecc--Yep, No armor utility was used to soak the damage. The armor only helps against the attack on your persona, you need to use hardening for your meat body. The bad guys are using a Black Hammer utility which means Lethal Black IC.

Same rolls. I have Hardening 6, making the TN 2 still.

Wow...ouch. Totally karma'ing:

Hacking pool (re-rolling last two): 5,4

Got to remember next time not to try the improve defense thing

Fenris--Lower the power 1 pt (9D)

Trixie 25--Initiative is here.
Nanashi 22
RenDeck1 21 (Nanashi's Foe)
Jack 20
RenDeck2 18 (Jack's Foe)
RenDeck3 14 (Trixie's Foe)

Ecc--You're up.

Using four hacking pool this time for the attack.

16 11 11 09 09 07 07 04 03 03 02 02 (ok, that was a bit freakish, SRDice can be odd)

Then doing a parry manuver. Again, opponent rolls Sensor vs a TN of 9 (my evasion).

11 11 08 04 02 02 02 01 01

Evasive Action: 19, 16, 14, 8, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1

Karmaing 5s and under: 10, 9, 8, 5, 3, 3, 2, 1

McQuillan

Am I rolling damage resistance vs. my icon or meat body?

Astral Perception: 5, 1, 6, 7, 1, 5
+ Aura Reading: 2, 7, 4, 3

Fenris--Both.

Leo--I'll give you the results after Fenris posts his resistance test.

Bumping this back to the top....

Fenris--I need those resistance tests before I can continue on to the next set of actions...

BOD test: 08 04 03 01 01
Karma pool(1 pt): 15 11 05 04 04
Karma pool(2 pts): 11 03
4 successes?
Meat bod test, I believe I can use the ICCM to make it a Will instead of Body: 04 03 03 01
Karma pool(1 pt): 09 05 03 01
Karma pool(2 pts): 16 08 04
Karma pool(3 pts): 11 01
Karma pool(4 pts): 11

Okay, so...I think I take 2 M's? And there goes a total of 14 of my 15(?) Karma pool

Fenris--Yes, ICCM let's you roll both body and Willpower and take the better result...Remember any Hardening you have will reduce the TN for the Meat test and an Armor utility will reduce the TN for the Icon.

Yeah well, no hardening on the home-brew deck (yes, my bad, my bad) and no combat utilities (yes again, my bad. I did indicate that I needed serious nuyen for apps, right?)

But thanks for the reminders

No Hardening?

Trixie 25
Nanashi 22
RenDeck1 21 (Was Nanashi's Foe now Trixie's)
Jack 20--Initiative is here.
RenDeck2 18 (Jack's Foe)
RenDeck3 14 (Trixie's Foe)

Ecc--One success on the strike. 8S to the Meat and Persona.

Fenris--You're up.
