Persona (Armor is now reduced to 6): 09 05 05 04 03 02 02 02 01 (no damage)
Meat: 08 05 05 04 03 03 03 02 01 (no damage)

Drop the extra hacking pool dice for the Detection Factor, and two shots at the Decker attacking me:

Attack Program 4L:
Computer(Decking): 09 07 05 05 04 04 03 03 02 01
Hacking Pool: 11 04 04 03 03 02

Computer(Decking): 09 09 08 05 02 02 02 01 01 01
Hacking Pool: 08 05 04 02 02
+1 task pool: 08

*blink* *blink*

Ok. So much for that stratagy we talked about last week.

using Medic utility...believe the base TN is 5...not sure what wound penalties I've accrued that need to be applied.

14, 5, 4, 3

Karmaing: 9, 5, 1

Disregard the karma costs for earlier raising Aura Reading. I was looking at the wrong sheet. Should only be 6 to raise from 3 to 4.

Heal 8 on Jack
Sorcery Roll: 5, 1, 7, 14, 4, 5
+ Sorcery Knowledge Skill: 4, 4, 1, 1
+ 6 Spell Pool: 5, 11, 8, 5, 1, 5
Drain Roll (TN = 8S): 5, 1, 2, 5, 9, 2, 5, 8, 16, 5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 2, 7 = M Drain

Heal 8 on Nanashi, still sustaining Heal 8 on Jack, +2 TN
Sorcery Roll: 4, 5, 3, 5, 14, 5
+ Sorcery Knowledge Skill: 2, 10, 3, 5
+ 6 Spell Pool (Focus): 1, 5, 3, 1, 4, 3
Drain Roll (+2 TN = 10M): 5, 5, 3, 4, 2, 7, 5, 3, 4, 3, 3, 2, 11, 4, 4, 4 = M Drain

Hope that's right. It looks like Jack took an S and Nanashi took an M.

Sorry about that My mistake, I'd thought one of them was wounded enough to take out, and then fade afterwards.

Trixie 15--Initiative is here.
Nanashi 12
RenDeck1 11 (Was Nanashi's Foe now Trixie's)
Jack 10
RenDeck2 8 (Was Jack's Foe now Trixie's)
RenDeck3 4 (Trixie's Foe)

Ecc--I need tests against 8S and 8D, both are targeting Meat and Persona.

First Attack

Meat (TN2): 08 08 04 04 03 03 03 02 01 (no damage)
Persona (TN2, Armor reduced to 5): 05 04 04 03 03 02 01 01 01 (no damage)

Second Attack

Meat: (TN2): 11 09 05 05 05 05 04 04 01 (no damage)
Persona (TN3, Armor deduced to 4): 10 05 04 03 03 03 03 02 02 (no damage)
Karma: 03 01 (no damage)

Edit: Dude! I just read Armor and I totally messed up. The utility only reduces it rating if some ammount of damage gets through. As long as I soak all the damage, the util stays at full strength.

First attack to Nanashi's foe: 10 10 05 05 04 04 04 03 01 01
Karma (minus the 10s): 11 10 09 05 04 03 03 02

Second attack at Jack's: 09 09 05 04 04 03 03 03 02 01
Karma (minus the 9s): 15 14 04 04 03 02 01 01

Leo:
TN to heal Jack is 8. 3 successes.
TN to heal Nanashi is 5, 5 successes.

Fenris--Moderate -3 You should be healed.

Whizbang--Moderate -5 You should also be healed.

Much obligied, Leowulf

McQuillan, any visible reaction at all to my attacks, or did they just bounce harmlessly?

No prob guys. It's good to have a mage around.

To recover from the 6 boxes of Stun Damage

Willpower Roll (TN 2 because Donovan has a Pain Editor):
1, 3, 9, 2, 9, 1, 5, 3, 3, 9, 3, 1, 5, 10, 4, 4 = 13 successes, so Donovan will recover 1 box every 4.6 minutes. It will take him approximately 27.7 minutes to recover.

Fenris--They seemed to bounce harmlessly.

McQ: Just so I'm clear... My original opponent is fairly wounded, one of the others is out cold, and the third is doing just fine. Right?

Ecc--One has a light Stun, one botched his will roll and is down for the count, the other is untouched.

Attack (Deadly 6): 11, 11, 7, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1
Karma under 6: 16, 10, 7, 7, 4, 5, 3, 1

Attack 2 (Deadly 6): 16, 10, 9, 2, 1, 1

Whizbang--Just to let you know, the decker is unconscious. The attack program that Trixie is using simply left him logged in for trace utilities or fun IC programs to eat his mind and destroy his deck. If you attack him, you are going to crash his icon, causing dumpshock which could easily overflow into Physical.

Not telling you not to do it, just wanted to make sure you know what's going on.

She is attacking the one with the Light damage that you mentioned a few posts ago.

ok, I thought she was going for the one on the floor.

Trixie 15
Nanashi 12
RenDeck1 --- (Down for the Count)
Jack 10--Initiative is here.
RenDeck2 8 (Was Jack's Foe now Trixie's)
RenDeck3 4 (Trixie's Foe {Light Stun})

So RenDeck1 is the guy that Trixie took out and RenDeck3 is the guy that Nanashi just dumpshocked. 2 looks like he's gunna try to run. Got it.

Is there any way that Jack can stop the guy from running?

McQuillan:

As I understand it, there's no way for me to stop him from jacking out. There's also no reason to.

I am operating under the assumption that we don't necessarally need to stay right where we are while we're finishing the download. From what I understand, we can move anywhere on this host and force them to spend rounds trying to track us down. Am I correct?

With our detection factors and Evasion ratings, I have to assume it would take a number of rounds to do so. In addition, unless they have initiative's over I believe 40, they can't take more then 2 actions a round out of combat.

In addition, since time flows at something like 5:1 in the Matrix as compared to the outside, by the time this guy has jacked out and jacked back in, even if he did so immediately, enough time would have passed for us to complete the download and logoff. Am I correct in these understandings, McQuillan?

I was thinking we needed to take him out because I was under the assumption that there would be other security deckers online and he just needs to go gather them together.

Ecc/Fenris--He doesn't have to Jack out to the meat world. If he knows that there are security deckers in other parts of the system, he just has to jump hosts until he finds them. The process could take anywhere from 1-15 rounds depending on how close they are to this particular sub host.

To keep him from a graceful log-off you can hit him with the equivalent of Black IC. After that happens there is enough interference that you cannot do a graceful logoff.

Fenris--If you take the evade Decker option, it will take a minimum of 3 rounds for them to find you given your evasion ratings and the like.

End sum--unless you want to finish him off, he'll flee and you can all finish the download before anyone catches you. From there, it's just a matter of getting back to the grid and vanishing.

If you are going to let him go, post 3 Access tests as you fade back to the LTG. Or you can pull the plug and dumpshock yourselves...

Alright then, we'll wait for the file to download and back out. Three Access tests coming up.

1: 17 16 10 09 08 05 05 04 04 03 03 03 01 01 01 01
2: 11 10 09 07 05 03 03 03 03 03 02 02 02 02 01 01
3: 16 11 08 05 05 04 04 03 03 03 03 03 03 02 01 01

Edit: I have a Deception of 8.

10, 8, 7, 5, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1
8, 8, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1
15, 11, 7, 7, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1

Deception of 6

Oh, and being that Trixie is the guardian, she'll be the last to log off each host, not leaving until she knows that Jack and Nanashi are safely off.

Fenris--I need those access tests, and then I'll push the thread on to the end of the matrix run.

Just to clarify, is there any reason we can't perform a Gracefull Logoff at this point? I know the rolls are harder due to the black IC, but it would erase all datatrails within a few rounds.

If we can't, here are my access tests (boosting DF again with 4 hacking pool to 14):
Computer(Decking): 11 04 04 04 04 03 02 02 02 01
Hacking Pool: 11 07 05 05 05 03 03 03 02 01 01

Comp: 15 10 05 04 03 02 02 02 02 01
Hack: 08 05 04 04 04 04 01 01 01 01 01

Comp: 13 10 05 04 04 04 03 03 02 01
Hack: 08 05 04 04 04 03 03 02 02 02 01

Sorry, didn't have the exact rules in front of me. If you want to do a graceful logoff, it will be a Willpower test TN 8 because of the spikes of interference and what not created by the Black IC.

If you get out of the host, I'll say you can do a graceful logoff from the LTG without the Willpower test because you have left the host and source of the distortion. (The book never actually says how to get rid of the interference.) A graceful logoff from there will still delete your data trails, it will simply show that someone was inside the REnraku system...a fact already known because you fought three of their Sec Deckers.

Let me know which you'd like to try and I'll bump the thread along.

We can back out and then log off, it looks like all of us have rolls good enough to get us out of the system.

Hey guys I started a new Job today so my posts for the next few days are going to be light. Will catch up when I can.

Agreed. Let's go ahead and back out of the host and logoff. I just wanted to make sure I understood the rules involved. Thanks for the clarification, McQuillan.

Did you need anything else from us McQ before bumping up to us logging out?

Making a Data Brokerage roll to see if I can think of the best way to sell off our data.

McQ. I would like to send some discreate emails to my contacts...

Shadow--Give me some etiquette rolls.

Ecc--The best way to move this info if you want top dollar is to place a few discrete inquiries with like minded individuals (Read: Call contacts and info brokers and give me an Etiquette test) or concealing your tracks, go quasi-public with it in a shadow community and see what bidders come to you. (This is the fast option with smaller payout--similar to Paydata points)

Skill: Etiquette (4)
Modifiers: Good Rep II

Only person I know is Zoe, so I'll make that call.

Think I'll give Katashi a ring (the yazuka wakashira)

Ettiquette: 7, 5
Negotiations (default to cha): 13, 4, 4, 3

(I couldn't by any chance use some of that karma I've been hoarding to increase (or get) those skills, could I?)

Donovan is still snoozing I guess, so I'll put this info here.

He's got some useful contacts. Some of them may know someone who knows someone who is willing to pay top dollar. None of them are fleshed out really, so this could end up being a lot of fun or a big pain in the rear.

Level 2 Fixer
Level 2 Talismonger -- probably not
Level 1 Mr. Johnson
Level 1 Info Broker

Do you guys want to wake him up and ask him, or have you got the people?

Note: I will be out of town from Sunday through Wednesday.

Please feel free to spend the karma you've accrued so far and increase skills or buy them whole cloth. Also, this is a new scene so all Karma pools refresh.

The mechanic I'm going to use if you are going the etiquette route is the same as finding a fence from SR3.

TN 10 for unrelated contacts.

TN 8 for Fixers

TN 6 for Info Brokers.

Remember successes can be spent to reduce time or increase the money they have.

Heading out of town for a couple days. Should be back Thursday.

Sorry guys, love to help, but I have none of the appropriate contacts.

Still kicking out here and I also don't have any useful contacts for this sale. Sorry.

Ecc--You've got 4 successes. How many are going to money and how many how are going to time?

Split em up, 2 each.

Alright team--The money will take 5 days to arrive, what is on the docket until then? We still have the Fool laying down the ground work for a meeting with the Otaku tribe in the area so that Trixie can take a dip in the pool.

What does everyone else want to do or where are you headed from here? Time is now in your hands unless you need me to pull the reins back.

BTW--For planning purposes, you will be pulling in 180K for the data.

180k a piece, you mean, right?

Not alot once it's split 7 ways, not for the kind of high end programming I, at least, am looking for.

I do have a rating 10 programming suite I'd be willing to share if we want to try teaming up and knocking out some code in a couple of days?

If not, we're definitely going to need to do a few more money runs.
