Enjoy your trip!

Btw, perhaps my perception-rolls disappeared within the chaos of the separate timelines:


Anything or anyone at the gas station? Do I spot Kerstin's signature and is it possible to somewhat back-track it to get a clue how or by which means she appeared at the drop spot? And what exactly is the drop spot?

By the way Anna asking what we're going to do there is me not figuring it up

@Luckace
You'd find the same thing that Anna found already. The drop spot was a large waste metal container

Yeah, pbp can be confusing if RL's keeping you distracted. You can always ask OoC in this thread, however, if you think it's something Anna wouldn't mess up. It does have an impact on her character. I wouldn't want bnc to be confirmed in her view of Anna as a blonde idiot if it's not actually Anna who can't follow a ten minutes discussion but you losing track between posts that spread over two weeks and two threads.

Its mainly me lol - but I enjoy the idiot vibe.

K, thanks. Sorry, I must have overlooked that.
How easily accessable is that container? Would opening it have caused a lot of ruckus?

Not at all, it was a very quiet, well thought out drop spot.

Ah, I get it now. Thanks for your description, I didn't have such a forlorn setting in mind. Well, asking if anyone had seen her seems pretty pointless to me, now.

I believe, bnc is still streaming Parazoology from Singularity.
Parazoology: 10d6t5 3
What are these birds?

Awakened carrion crows.
They don't like people getting close to their sleeping places high up in the trees. They are highly intelligent and quite social outside mating season, so they tend to attack in swarms if one of them calls out a warning.
The awakened version is known to not just look for carrion or human trash, but to also take down larger animals like hares and cats.

I probably won't be able to set up another post this weekend. I'm in the mountains, climbing, and my phone doesn't really have internet connection here. Sorry for not planning ahead, somehow I didn't really think about that.

Wraith will agree to whatever plan is settled.

If he's supposed to roll something, I'd kindly ask one of you to roll (and play him) for me, I'll be back on Monday. Thanks in advance.

Shapechange (stat boost on Bod+Rea) and Mindnet (range Fx60m) are both 14D, drain resistance with prayer is 12D.

Thanks in advance

Is this Schloss Neuhaus?

Yes:
https://www.google.de/maps/place/Neuhaus/@4...33;4d13.0735394

Is there a way to locate the jammer? I'd assume, especially if it's a directed one, that you should be able to pinpoint ity physical loaction.

Yes, either through triangulation, or by looking for it on the matrix (it's running silent wireless on) and tagging it.
You'll find it in the middle of the room, facing the door

With "middle of the room" you mean the next room? Or the one we are in?

Bye
Thanee

The next

https://pyrophilios.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/jamming.png

19P is a lot of damage ... is there any way to avoid it? Like, jumping out of the room or something? As I'm not Jumped In anymore, I guess I can't use edge to save James.
Do we get a defense roll or only soak?

EDIT:
BOD 4 + armor 13 (-5): Soak: 12d6t5 3
That would be 16P damage ...
As drones only have 6 + BOD/2 boxes, that'd be 8. Means, I exceed it by 8 points. Means, James is dust and beyond repair, right?

Luckace stated that Wraith is against the wall? I assume the one next to the door. Sharkboy is next to Wraith, so they should be facing similar levels of damage to absorb or dodge.

Sorry, no dodging against explosions.
I did add two warnings in my posts

But you misread the explosion: It's flechette, so you gain +5 Armor. So for James it would turn to Stun and therefore won't do him any harm.

Oh boy...

@SquirrelDude: He just needed the wall to lean his body against it while he was blacked out - no need to stay there longer.

The way I read it, Anna used the spell after Wraith had already returned from projecting. If so, I don't see why the two shouldn't be in the back with the rest of the team. But IC is pretty convoluted at that point, so I could be misunderstanding this. If Wraith is still out projecting (meaning his body is leaning against the wall) while she casts magic fingers, then I'd say you're probably right, and the two of them are a bit closer.

Edit: Btw, @Jack: Did the jammer get destroyed in the process?
Always look on the bright side of life...

Somewhere Slobbertooth is shaking his head that bnc again let her teammates learn the lesson of not opening suspicious doors the hard way.

Yes, I am sorry for not keeping it clearer I posted form the doctor. I am with a sick kiddo and waited for like 3 hours. She'll have everyone back, not just herself. Everything is fine anyhow.

In case tomorrow is bad for posting:

Heal spell for Wraith, after bnc does her magic.
heal spell: 15d6t5 7

resist pain for everyone else (if they want it).
resist pain spell: 2#17d6t5 8 3 - maximum is 6, Nova Shark).
drain: 2#15d6t5 3 6

@Jack
Woohoo That misreading gave me an awesome surprise this morning

@luckace
If your 23 dice are BOD (3) + Armor jacket (12) + Helmet (3) + AP (5), your armor would exceed the DV, so your damage, too, is only stun.

@Squirrel
What? How is it bnc's responsibility any more than her teammates'? Not that she could have done a lot, anyway.

@myself
I'm just so glad that bnc didn't come in her meat body. This might have killed her ^^

Haha, yeah. I don't see how bnc had anything to do with that part.

Bye
Thanee

Just ribbing you a bit. I still remember Slob walking through a door a bit early and taking the brunt of a similar explosive surprise.

I guess as bnc's player I deserve as much ribbing as I can get ^^ I honestly don't know how you all deal with her so well. I'd kill her in a day.

Okay, if we go back for a moment, we can use the R6 Medkit. Also, for First Aid to work properly, any body armor has to be removed, so it really makes sense to do that at the van.

Assuming bnc's assistance (13 dice), Nova would do the First Aid rolls (since we all have 6+ boxes of stun).

Modifiers:

-1 average conditions at the van (?)
+6 Medkit R6
+X assistance (hits from 19 dice; Limit 6 (Nova's First Aid Rating))
-2 awakened patient (for Anna, Sharkboy, and Wraith)
-1 for lost Essence (for Sharkboy, and Nova)

I will go ahead and roll all that...

Anna

Teamwork 6 hits
First Aid 5 hits => 3 stun removed

Wraith

Teamwork 8(6) hits
First Aid 6 hits => 4 stun removed

Sharkboy

Teamwork 3 hits
First Aid 8 hits => 6 stun removed

Nova

Teamwork 6 hits
First Aid 6 hits => 4 stun removed

Bye
Thanee

Thanks, do we really need to go back to the castle? There are likely people on the way (perhaps more so after the explosion).

Well I don't think anyone has had a look in the room behind the explosive outside of the astral, yet.

I think we should finish our investigation there. This place is a bit farther out, right? So, whoever is coming, won't be there in just a few minutes. We should have some time still.

Of course, we should not linger too long.

Bye
Thanee

Right, it's stun damage. Thanks

I believe bnc just peeked inside.

EDIT:

Wholly unrelated to Shadowrun, but this is pretty neat

Okay, so we will do the First Aid now (rolls already made above).

Bye
Thanee

I'll leave it to Jack to decide how much a Ballistic Helmet interferes with a first aid check. Besides that, Sharkboy does get out of his armor.

That shouldn't be a problem, consider your mask just in need of a bit of refurbishment due to quite a few scratches.

As for detect enemies: That won't work since the HTR team hasn't identified you as their enemies yet. In terms of the spell, they are just people ready to do violence to whoever they meet up there.

Just some situation awareness - I imagine getting arrested but will an HTR team just shoot us for trespassing? I mean we did break some laws, but are we really at the shoot first ask question later phase?

This is not the police you are dealing with. This is Mitsuhama looking for their employee and Kerstin.

Ah, ok. Makes sense^^

Yeah, I guess if they do not even know who you are, they cannot really have hostile intentions aimed towards you.

Bye
Thanee

Well, I believe it's not that simple. After all, they might have already linked our interference in Munic to the attack in Linz (where they got excellent footage of Wraith) and thus connected the dots that an enemy runner team is on Bean Si as well. One look at the castle makes it clear that a third party was involved, and then they could theoretically connect the dots and assume that the meddlers here are the same as in Munich and Linz.
By that, I believe they could mark Wraith - as that young snoop who hid from the worker drones and whose team wrecked Assault and Battery (and the whole building in that process ) - as an enemy and have hostile intentions towards him.

But that's a very hypothetical approach, of course, and implies very connective communication between Mitsuhama and several executive forces.
I'm not saying that they would be seeing him as an enemy, just that they could.

Thanks for rolling, Jack!

@Thanee
I don't understand your post. We already are on the move...

Ah, sorry, then I missed that. Will correct my post. Thanks!

Also, that reminded me, that we still have the two bikes there, since we arrived seperately.

Bye
Thanee

Quick heads-up:
Towards the end of the week, I'll be unable to post. I'll be on a festival from Thursday to Sunday, moshing my brains out, and will likely not have my phone with me. Thus, from Thursday to Monday I probaly won't be able to access the forum.


@Volker: As the one who knows Wraith best: Would you mind steering him - should the necessity arise - for me?

@Luckace sure will

@Jack
I'll post tomorrow - no energy left today. I was afraid, you'd miss it, but I placed a question between the dice rolls: when was Kerstin's last matrix action, and what was it?

@team
bnc will share her findings.

@all
I'm waiting for Jack's response before I continue.

Sorry, took a while to get back to this:

Kerstin's last matrix action was edit file the day before yesterday at around 2000h.

I was away - but I am confused now. Didn't we discuss Anna projecting toward Kerstain? What do you want to happen now?
