Armor of (8-1) and body of 3... looks like 10 dice.

10d6.hits(5) → [1,2,3,6,4,2,3,3,4,1] = (1) Lousy!

Dakka's 2 hits add to his 6P damage, don't they? So 6P + 2 - 1, if my hurried math is right.

Fellow will take 7 boxes of damage on his condition tracker.

Yep, and if 7 boxes is higher than his Body, he will also be knocked to the ground.

Now, how about that SUV?

And hey, it's even real damage (6 + 2 > 8 - 1, no conversion to stun).

So, do I have to do all the hurting people or are you going to earn your money sometime this fight?

The cunning linguist is getting lippy again

Hey if you don't like cunning linguist, how about master debater?

just keep shooting the bullets as well as the mouth and you will do well just ask Crispy!

hey now!

did you Stow DAK away in your luggage to Vegas or has Slacker just forgotten to pass some food into the GM cage and he's wasted away ?

This is what we're waiting on resolution for currently, is that right? (checking to make sure I'm not missing anything)

Yep. That's what we are waiting for. Hopefully, he blew out a tire and there was a call for a driving test that fails so that the SUV has an accident. If not, I'm going to shooting out two more of the tires.

Purely for the sake of expediency, we'll just drop the last 4 dice from that roll.

17d6.hits(5) → [2,5,2,6,5,3,2,5,3,3,3,2,3,2,4,1,6] = (5) 4 hits.

The tires effectively have armor of 6 (-1 for the ammo AP, so 5), and a body of 4.

9d6.hits(5) → [1,3,6,1,3,2,2,6,3] = (2)

The tire takes 2 boxes of damage. They are runflat tires, and can take a moderate amount of damage before being simply destroyed.

Second shot- 6 hits! Dude.

9d6.hits(5) → [4,5,3,6,4,4,4,6,4] = (3)

That's 3 more boxes of damage on that tire. The tire is in rather bad shape now, but is not taken out.

I think Khote is going to start shooting as well?

I'm sorry if this is a noobish question but this is my first time in combat in SR4, so

My 2 x 3 round burst do 7P + 3 for burst ? + hits, then minus the resist rolls ?

14P -2 & 16P -3

or am I stuck in SR3 mode and getting confused ?

Ohhhh, sorry, I'm so bad at this game I forgot to count in base damage for the weapon. Will fix shortly.

Yeah, those bursts do a weee bit more damage.

Thanee

Just to pick an additional nit: Narrow short bursts deal +2 damage, not +3.

well spotted, thanks, so many bonuses to track it becomes a bit of a blur

Found this for you PhlapJack ... British at War

Ha! That's awesome!

Although...are we sure they're British? Their teeth don't look bad at all...

Only the right guy has the UK flag, though, the left one might be a guest.

Naah, standard issue dentures for special ops, and royal celebrations.

True. And he seems to be holding his cuppa all wrong as well...


At first I thought they had crack pipes on the table for the celebration. On closer inspection it looks like party popper thingees instead.

other than murdering every fragger in the mutha fraggin' room, that is plan A

Just while we are here waiting a while,
does anyone have any tactic that they want to try out or ideas they want to share ?

Plan B.. I'm open to suggestions , or just general thoughts on the situation we find ourselves in.

Well, if we can identify the leader of the group, Khote can try to control thoughts on him to make him order everybody to surrender. This would work well in conjunction with an intimidation check from somebody else or at least following a big explosion or some supressive fire.

Right now his immediate plan is to disable the SUV if it hasn't been disabled already.

Well, Brian doesn't have Intimidation. OTOH he could assist with the grenades if someone else feels like talking. Of course we might end up first killing everyone and then convincing them to surrender posthumously.

Well, I was thinking about giving Sgt Backstabber's goons some incentive to reconsider their course of action by using him for target practice?

If he dares to show himself, that is...

Bye
Thanee

As long as you keep my ass safe from enormous elementals popping up and 'smooshing' my head, you can do as you please

But I'd consider it a personal favour (IC) if we can demonstrate some control over collateral damage, I'm no magician, but mind control I can let them get away with.

If I find they were just "paid off" I'm gonna be Seriously Miffed !

I'm hoping they were paid off, otherwise it'll get messy when we frag a few of the "good guys" and it turns out they were mind-controlled.

I'm thinking Crispy is going to suppress the area that the rocket and shots came from. He's not happy that he's taking fire. Plus he figures Hammerson is able to handle himself against a measly SUV...

At this point, shooting the tires doesn't seem like it's going to matter (or be that effective). Maybe shoot in the windows? Barring any magic awesomeness, that is...

I gave you guys the chance to go and mingle with the locals .. play cards, drink some beer .... and also get mind controlled yourselves
MWUAHAHAH

good plan, between you and Brian ... there's little chance of return of the Rockets ... I said little .. not No chance
and I'm hoping the same thing as well, that's why I asked about the sturdiness of the gate if I get out of the way

I'm still concerned that we are firing on friendlies so don't want to go all out offensive, BUT I gave them the chance (briefly) to comply with my command
so it's "Tough Dandelion" as far as this Elf is concerned !

in the words of number 5 "NO Dissassemble, Stephanie ..." .. umm... I mean "Need more INPUT!" .. where is allied command ? has Crispy turned the comms channel to a local football game or somethin' ?

Good thing Crispy has a long history of ignoring Hammerson's commands


I'm thinking this could be a "thing": whenever there's a tense situation Crispy accidentally broadcasts something inappropriate on the tacnet. Maybe he could get Gremlins as a disad or something...

Speaking of football (I guess you mean the real kind), yesterday a British friend made some comment about baseball, and someone else said "what the hell do you know about baseball?" His answer was "....well, it's sorta like cricket, right?"

well at least he referenced a MAN's game ! .. rather than what we call SoftBall .. or even worse ... it's really called "Rounders!" for posh upper class school kids at least

For those who don't know how Cricket works:

The Rules of Cricket

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.

Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.

Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have got out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

hth

yes, perfectly clear ... what's your point ?

Screw it. I know Dak is pretty busy with a big project at work right now, but I just feel like posting actions for Khote.
If the SUV is still moving forward, Khote will stop running to brace his Onotari against his shoulder and fire a full auto narrow burst with a called shot to increase the damage by +4. Based Dice Pool 13 + 2 for smartlink -2 for the two points of uncompensated recoil -4 for the called shot to increase damage leaves him with 9 dice. 9D6E5 => 4 | ones: 1
WOOT! Damage is 22P + net hits -3AP (Base weapon damage 9 +9 from full auto narrow burst +4 for called shot). Hopefully that does a little more to slow the bastards down.

If the SUV has already crashed due to the earlier shooting out of tires, Khote will instead target whoever seems to be leading the other group of enemies with the Control Thoughts spell, force 4.
Spellcasting Test: 12D6E5 => 4 hits
Drain Test(DV 4): 9D6E5 => 5 | ones: 1 (sweet no drain damage!)

Hey Dak have you up and joined the foreign legion or summat ?

I see you're posting in other threads Dak - should I give up on this game? I'd rather not, I was having fun

Yeah, continue here. Go, Dak!

Bye

Apologies, gang. I got buried at work, and kept meaning to post something here, but didn't, then felt bad, then didn't, etc.

I never intended to let this die, I just ran out of time. I have a phone system install coming up, but despite that, I think I can get this moving once more.

Best news All day mate ... It's HAMMER TIME ! ... duuuuhhh duuh duhh duh, d duh duuh .. can't touch dis !

Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.

Bye
Thanee

Let's do a roll call then.

I know we've got Thanee, Mach_ten, phlapjack77. Slacker is on his honeymoon, but I'm pretty sure he'll be in. That leaves Daka Fiend, I think.

Thanks for everyone's patience and continued interest!

Armed and dangerous! Err, I mean I'm here.

I know the feeling all too well. No worries


Awesome!

I'll get the kettle on ... time for tea!

I think slacker will be with us again next week. I'll read back over the threads and catchup on where we were over the weekend.

I think we are still in the middle of combat (SUV driving towards our gate while getting fired at its tires; Truck somewhere behind; front gate crew hidden behind the containers in the yard).

Bye
Thanee

Round 1, IP 2. Nova and Hammer have already acted, Khote's up next.

IIRC Nova's banished a spirit, Crispy and Hammer have shot at the SUV, Khote tried to mindfuck someone in the SUV and Brian winged one of the truck people.
Oh, our "friends" from the outer post are behaving conspicously and some truck guy wasted a perfectly good rocket on not hitting Crispy.

In short: SNAFU.

Tea? TEA !?!?! I think something this momentous calls for harder stuff...like coffee


it's not rocket surgery!

Yep, I'm around. I believe we left off waiting on a call on if the Hummer's tires got blown out or not since your original post about it didn't take into account the gun's base damage value.

In the middle of your silence from work, I also went ahead and post actions for Khote with associated rolls.
