yes, we are in normal time for now, so let me know what you guys are doing with gear etc. I also presume Crispy is getting into his real armour,

let me know what

Ok cool.

First medkit run, physical damage: 3 hits
Second medkit run, stun damage: 3 hits

Well those rolls sucked - this would only heal 1 box each. Lemme Edge those rolls to re-roll misses...

Reroll physical: 3 hits
Reroll stun: 2 hits

So in total, 4 boxes of physical healed, 3 boxes of stun. Took a total of 7 combat turns (so like 21 seconds?)

2 Edge spent.

it's been a Month already so, Anyone for Karma ?

and yes! , bad guys are getting karma to buy a pool of edge rather than having their own individual trait ... sue me !

Whew! used those 2 edge just in the nick of time!

yup, you'll need them !

coccoon damage resist
(15d6.hits(5)=6)

wow, he lands on the corpse of a spider thing that breaks his fall leaving him still (barely) conscious

please be gentle...it's my first time

Crispy has apparently ignored his condition to deal with Nova first

"nah bro, you're fine. just walk it off!"

yup, up for ya, no need to change yours, I just got a bit of a different idea on the coccoons ,, they are a LOT more solid than you gave them credit for ... maybe there's a reason .. maybe not

Nice timing!

Damage remaining: 0P / 4S

Bye
Thanee

If anyone is physically wounded still, Nova could also use her Heal spell.

Bye
Thanee

Cool And just for clarification, I wasn't complaining about the depictions or anything. Just thought it was a funny scene to have the guard flopping around on the ground, and Crispy ignoring him and stepping over his injured form to help out Nova

With the stickiness and the kevlar-like properties, maybe we could make some cocoon body armor...

what about the 8 stun longhshot over there >.>

And I'm waiting for the penny to drop ... regarding my entire fragging plot!

Crispy want an intelligence test to realise what the critters are for? Or you taking your cookie now?

no no, I think I'm good (don't you mean biscuit? )

so...these spiders...were going to be used...to...hijack ships and...wrap people up in cocoons...so the bodies could be...smuggled safely to Tanamous....

how'd I do?

Raiden what's your Essence? I already put it up IC, I'll roll to see how well Crispy can first aid him.

2.28 atm. I forgot what that is. (I thought essence only effected magical healing)

Yes exactly that... when runners just can't get the job done.... SPIDERS

try paranormal giant Bees.

It also affects First Aid, but not to the same degree.

Clothing company, resilient spidersilk, ... no sorry, no clue!

LOLz

lolwhut ?

I like your old CO ... he and I should get a beer and chat about old times, .. I also like my boat ... I also like all my plot at sea level, this is NOT 20,000 leagues under the Sea !!!!

I just remebered that Longshot prob brought some TnT, foam, and possibly some dynamite with him. very little to save space but some!

maybe enough to put a dirty scorch mark on the paintwork and deafen yourselves inside the tin can

bah 1 foam itself is enough

You dont have long apparently, Whats tha plan?

good question, are we going to ambush them? or sneak on to there ship while they are preoccupied?

also, what was my healing. haha

I was going to say you forgot Carnivorous, but I guess that would be redundant...


Sorry, fell asleep last night before rolling this.
First-aid on Longshot: 2 hits
Edge re-rolling the misses: 1 hit
I nominate this as pretty close to the worst rolling possible: 24 dice, 3 hits

Sorry man, Crispy is able to heal Longshot a grand total of 1S


Unless anyone objects or has a different idea, Crispy suggests putting Nova in a good sniping position, and having Crispy and Longshot set up in a closer position (yet behind cover!). Probably set up near where the bow doors are, first figuring out how to open them. After a few guys come in to check out what's going on and get the truck, 2 of us sneak onboard and "pacify" the boat occupants.

Sounds like the spiders weren't even the most valuable cargo on the truck. Maybe we should look into that if we have time (please don't be spider eggs, please don't be spider eggs...

Worst .. Medic ... Everrrr !

the mechanism is in the control room, there "May" be an emergency override locally ... maybe

the implication being that these cute lil' babies are just ... babies ?

I know where I'm spending Karma next...

cool - that might be the place to start. I'll try to post up an IC about all of this before (my) day's end

Ok you're right, what was I thinking? We're setting this whole thing on fire! Longshot, where's that TNT?

NEW BLANK MAP ADDED

Currently you are congregated around [ L:6 ]

use the grid to describe positions and the cover you are taking and any objectives etc. should make it easier

I shoulda rolled teamwork for you my bad haha crispy.

Nova will head outside (upper deck), once we have searched the truck.

But, I think it is a good idea to get astral for a moment - before we do that - and quickly take a look outside to see where the other ship is.

Bye
Thanee

diving into astral space you immediately notice the wards all over the truck that you spotted on the way down.
you notice the watcher spirits are missing.

Stepping around that you head up and out into the night air which is instantly both refreshing and terrifying !

The waters below you look inky black, not just dark but utterly devoid of light,
not even reflections escape the fluid surface and you feel as if you are being drawn down into them,
your will alone allows you to keep your astral footing, but after mere portions of a second have passed
you still feel mentally drained as if a blackhole were sucking your soul away

you risk a quick glance out to sea and the shape of a ghost ship looms into view,
the dead metals of it's construction bought to life by the myriad of seagoing lifeforms clinging to it,
it's gigantic maw opens like that of a shark with row upon row of dead rotting teeth ready to rip you up and engulf you piece by piece.
it is only a few hundred metres away physically but feels as if you can feel it's cold salty dead breath on your face

it's all you can do to race back to your physical form, you blink twice and occupy your body once more.. a cold clammy sweat soaks your clothes to the skin.

"ебать меня!! what was that?"

_________________________
Meta : has Nova experienced a high background count before ?
if not a knowledge check should help identify that the deep waters out here are not safe,
but above them you should be okay

secondly, I'm not 100% on magic, I'm trying to give it a feel of being different to the physical so please put me right if it's off

Lastly, feel free to plagiarise for any IC you want to post, don't want to steal your thunder

no Stim patches in the bag ?

Show Dr. Crispy where the bad spiders touched you...

Does anyone have an opinion on whether we try to use this guy (Drago) to get on the ship, or don't trust him and go with our original plan? I (Crispy) will be against trusting the guy.

Do I get a vote ?

Well, not in game, obviously. Being a soldier/mercenary, I suppose background count isn't completely alien to her, though. You will end up in some bad places here and there.



The main question I have is, is there something magical about that ship (that should be totally obvious in the astral space, if it is magically active or something like that), or is that just the rather strong emotional impression coming from it.

Bye
Thanee

it's just a chunk of dead metal represented here in that fashion, nothing magical about it

it does have a very strong emotional aura as you mention as it's had a long and varied life carrying men of violence

Do you guys want a fourth attendee to this party ? ..

I've not invited anyone yet but will take it from you if you want some more input now that Brian is officialy MIA/KIA

I'm fine with a 4th! Any more than 4 might be too many tho' (just sayin')


I would only hesitate to say yes because it seems like too much work to figure out if the vote you cast is meant to help us or hinder us

Trying to intimidate Drago: 5 hits (now there's my roll!)
(note: I gave Crispy a +4 bonus for the "situation"(outnumber Drago, causing him pain), if there is no bonus it's only 3 hits)

I'm fine with a 4th. And possibly a 5th but at that point it can get a tad congested

12d6.hits(5)=4 intimidation (interrogation same bonus crispy gave himself. even if I don't get it I still got 4 hits haha) yes took out wound modifiers as well.

Okay. Begin the pissing contest to intimidate the guy who's already spilling his guts; lol

It becomes rapidly apparent that he and his guys were not expecting paranormal spiders ..the distinct aroma of urine emanating from around crispys feet at the mention gives it away.
their plan was to disable the engine with a small charge but one of the guards got a bit close and tampered setting it off in a bad place.

He tries to explain that they weren't told the contents.
The job is to get the truck.
And deliver it before vashon noticed

Longshot! A "pissing contest" isn't literal!

Sure, go for it!

Bye
Thanee

The ship is still a bit away, right? So the people coming down must be those "civilians", who are part of the whole "hijack the van" crew?

Also, remember we (including the spirit itself) are still being concealed by the spirit.

Bye
Thanee

Correct, as far as you can tell all the guards are coccooned or dead, the only way on board will be if/when u open the bow doors


Gotcha, thats why he is looking around and not directly at you, but remind the guys that you need to drop that before any negotiations begin etc.

Question is... could I ask the spirit to drop it from Crispy and Longshot, but keep protecting me without using up another service (which I do not have )?

Bye
Thanee

I'll rule that if they draw attention to themselves then the power drops, but would need another service to reactivate on them, as long as you stay concealed then you're good until the fit hits the shan

I'm looking forward to where this goes

Oh, it goes to where it always goes... chaos, destruction and general mayhem!

Bye
Thanee
