@FastFoodFightTo keep us moving, I guess I will roll
Gentry's defense test for Vic shooting at her...
I'll give her +2 dice for cover, which gives her
3 hits. That means Vic still got 1 net hit. Rolling Body + Armor for damage resistance of the 6P damage (no AP)....OUCH. Invisible Castle isn't liking her...
1 hit on 12 dice. So, she takes 5 points of stun damage and is knocked to the floor with the DV exceeding her physical limit.
----------------
And now we start the new combat turn with the Spirit of Beasts trying to chomp down on Lucy the guard's thigh with it's massive canines. It gets
3 hits while Lucy only manages to get 1 hit. So, Lucy has to resist 10S damage...getting
6 hits. Which means he's now taken a total of 9 boxes of stun damage. 2 more boxes and he goes down for the count, but for now he's still up.
After that
Swift has no problem slapping himself with a stim patch while the mopper stands above him looking around confusedly.
"I cleaned....her? Yeah, that's right...I cleaned her good," the slow-witted man mumbles to himself seeing no evidence at all of
Swift.
Lucy the guard has had enough and starts running for the store manager screaming "
Franco, get this bugger off me!"But as he does the beast takes a swipe at his back as an interrupt action taking a -5 to init in order to get another attack. And the spririt gets 3 hits. Of which Lucy only
avoids 1 with his defense roll. And unceremoniously falls to the ground unconscious from the repeated blunt force trauma.
Seeing one of Vic's crew go down at the spirit's claws, the harried business man finally makes his decision to fight instead of flee. He pulls out a Streetline Special and takes a shot at....Vic Fratelli.
"Bastard! Your day has come!" Unfortunately he
doesn't get a single hit and the shot goes wide.
"Luciano...No!" shouts the store manager as his nephew goes down beneath the spirit. He draws forth the magical energies and casts another bolt of mana at the spirit, this time force 6. He again gets
3 hits (and is able to
resist the drain). The spirit rolls its willpower to get
only 1 hit which means it took 2 stun damage (not enough to affect it's rolls or initiative yet).
Vic turns on his new attacker now that
Gentry has fallen to the ground out of sight behind a table.
"You're in on this too! You're wife is going to pay for your stupidity bub." He shoots at the business man. He gets 3 hits to Stuart's
4 hits. So the business man is able to dodge to the side just enough to avoid the bullet.
The burger flipper also moves into action as he comes up from under the auto-fryer with an Ares Predator in his hands. Wordlessly, he takes aim and fires on Stuart Rothschild. He manages to get 2 hits to Stuart's 1 hit. Stuart gets
5 hits to resist the 7S damage. So he takes 2 boxes of stun as the bullet slams into his shoulder.
With bullets flying all around the emergency exit (Stuart is very close to the exit), the father and daughter pair that had been making their way to the exit dive down to the floor and crawl under a table.
-------------------
And now it is
Gentry's turn.
