Well, I don't. Torley is not our combat guy.
pbangarth
How far away from Torley is the freight truck under which Medjay is hiding.?

Same question for the distance to the mage. For this guy, I'm thinking a simple "STAND UP" might suffice for a combo of Commanding Voice and Voice Control.

Let's just say that everyone has pouches and grenades. No one is a grenadier, but smoke can be dropped at our feet to create cover, and I still think we can have Starlet send spirits to drop tear gas and flashbangs on top of enemies.

You are about 500 meters away from the combat, which means you can barely see anyone, let alone a specific person under heavy cover, and your voice would be lost in the chaos.

Simple Action: Take Aim (Image Magnification)

QUOTE (Shadowrun Anniversary Edition p. 150)
Attacker Using Image Magnification
Image magnification equipment allows the character to “zoom in” on the target, reducing the Range category to Short, and thus eliminating any range modifiers. The character must take a Take Aim action (p. 148) to “lock onto” the target (the Take Aim does not apply a +1 aiming bonus for this purpose, unless additional Take Aim actions are made). As long as the target and attacker do not move, the attacker remains locked on and may continue to get the image magnification bonus on subsequent actions without further Take Aim actions. Image magnification can be used in conjunction with a laser sight or smartlinked weapon (but not both).

O'Conner put most of the burst on target, even at this distance. (OOC:-6 to pool for extreme range)

I also forgot to add smartlink to that attack roll.
Smartlink: 2d6t5 2

Now what is the plan?

That depends. Your description is lacking in details. Con hit the drone, but did he do any significant damage? Does Con still have it in sight, or is it taking evasive maneuvers requiring new perception rolls and image magnification actions?
Crossbow
It's gone. It was not built for combat, it is surveillance.
Crossbow
You can't aim at something you can't see.

After being attacked, the mage has ducked himself completely down and out of sight, you can set a trigger if he pops back up.
Necrogigas
Starlet set an ARO on the mage's position.

Which is BEHIND an object, so you have no idea where he will appear from behind that cover, so you cant aim at that point.
Necrogigas
Apologies, I lack an understanding of the battlefield layout. With the description available, theater of the mind has me envisioning all combatants in, basically, a straight line. That being, if Apep is taking cover from the Area Boys, then they're exposed to us from behind. What is the layout then? With the mage unexposed, can I switch targets to the Doberman?
farothel
That should take care of the mage, or at least keep him occupied for a while.

Damn right! Good job.
Crossbow
Sorry about spotty responses guys. Traveling holiday weekend, after starting a new job after moving to a new city after computer decided Bluetooth and wifi don't exist anymore.

I will try to give a better picture of the battlefield Monday, after work.
Crossbow
Better late than never.

The far end of the battlefield is the two buses that are blocking traffic traveling to the airport. They are aflame.

The Apep crew are in front of the buses, they have all taken cover, including the Doberman, behind cars and other solid objects.

The truck where Medjay is hiding is in the middle of the street about 10-20 meters in front of the Apep guys.

About 10 meters in front of him are the buildings being defended by the Area Boys. They are three and four story apartment buildings on either side of the street, with what was at least a dozen orks firing at Apep.

Then about 300 meters back from that are the runners.
Necrogigas
Thank you for the clarification. If Con where to hold his action to wait for a target, would he suffer from the range penalty or could he use image magnification to zoom in on the general area?
pbangarth
Off to my first sheep-herding trial of the season. Wish me luck! No! Wish me compliant sheep.

Will be able to contribute again Sunday night.

Back in the mix, will try and get updates going again.

You are smartlinked to the weapon, so activating and deactivating image mag is a free action.

Need everyone to go ahead and roll initiative.

I volunteered in the sheep pens and loading chutes. The sheep in the video accurately depict their attitude about being funnelled into narrow confines.
pbangarth
So, have our PCs all died in the firefight?
Necrogigas
Crossbow is dealing with real life drek at the moment.
pbangarth
Ah. RL is worse than a GD.
Crossbow
I'm back, hope you guys are still here.
Necrogigas
Still here.

Still here.

still here but about to leave on holiday for a week. I should have Wifi, but response time might be down.

Ditto!
Crossbow
I assume Bullet Storm is holding for an Active Defense, Starlet is up next, is that her play too?
farothel
Does the flare penalty also plays when you're not trying to see something, like if I just want to cast something internal to me.

If it isn't, I'll cast Trid Phantasm to get some reinforcements (or the illusion of such), otherwise I'll just dive for cover and try to figure out what's going on.
Crossbow
I would apply the flare penalty to that only because you need to place the illusion to have proper effect.
Crossbow
Second passes for those that have them, plus defense roll for O'Conner
pbangarth
Alright, farothel. Out of the material-plane-box thinking.
farothel
I'll be away from tomorrow until the 13th of December, and I'll be without internet access for most of that time.

I will give you guys the sob story if you want to hear it, but sorry for the gap. I am here for now.

attack: 13d6t5 1

doberman attack: 6d6t5 1

Want it known that I can roll well, just not when it matters. I forgot the range mod on the Doberman at first and rolled 9d6 for 5 hits, so I rerolled with the proper dice.

Assuming a full dodge from O'Conner we are entering a new turn
farothel
is there a map or at least something that we know where we are, at least relative to each other, as I've lost a bit what's going on?

I will try and put something together, but it will be pretty sparse. Starlet and Bullet Storm are in the middle of a clogged roadway 250? Meters from the ambush Apep set for Medjay, there is an Azzie goon that has been engaged with Bullet Storm. Torley and LH are behind the buildings to the west of the street trying to close the distance.

Need new initiatives.
