So there doesn't seem to be a facial scanner at the office, right?
Would be a shame if we smash the one face that can get us through that door

Luckace - I think resist pain do not stack, and the dice are not with me. You can ignore 3 boxes of stun damage (instead of 2).
Anna is with 2 stun damage.

thanks
Yeah, I think the first one dissipated when Wraith took drain damage beyond that point. But three boxes is great.

That's correct.

Fine Thanks for clarifying.

What was it with Drain and healing again... can you use First Aid on that (or is it only natural rest and nothing else)?

Bye
Thanee

Only rest, nothing else can heal drain.
Speaking of: I forgot that the drain from Petrify is physical instead of stun, as Wraith's hits surpassed his Magic.
I'll alter my post accordingly.

What's the door made of?

Too bad.

Thanee

The outer side looks like wood - but you can expect that it's a very robust security door.

Ok, looking at the rules for barriers, unless someone has explosives or a spell to break through, I guess our best bet is to shoot three full auto bursts at it for 4 damage each (penetrating weapons), until it is weak enough to break open.

With the assault rifle (using APDS), DV 11P and AP -6, I need 4 hits to do get past the 20 armor and do damage.

Does that sound right?

With 17 dice and 7 recoil compensation, if I aim to get back up to 16 dice, I could just buy those 4 hits.

Three successful bursts and plenty rounds of ammo later, there should be a hole in the door.

I would aim pretty high, assuming that any computer equipment would be closer to the ground, in order to not damage that.

Thanee

Yeah, but keep track how many bullets you spend - and how long you take for that.

I would need two combat turns and 30 rounds, assuming average initiative rolls.

And, yes, I do keep track of the bullets, but I have plenty still.

Thanee

Called shot vitals for +2DV?

If that was possible, it would only help to get past the armor, the DV is irrelevant for actual damage.

Bye
Thanee

Sorry, no HE grenades. I kept thinking about buying a couple but never did.

Most Sharkboy could do is help open the door with explosive arrows.

Jack any response for Anna checking the hint bnc told us that there may be another way in?

Bye
Thanee

ah... nevermind then she'll return. F12 barrier is dangerous to even try getting through (need to get back).

As for getting information from the woman, an interesting question would also be when he left.

Bye
Thanee

What can you tell us about the door to the office? Are there traps installed? How massive is it? Is it online? Is it wired?

Same thing with that door as the last: A hardware test

He left about 12 seconds ago.

@Gilga: do I get this right that Anna doesn't use a Heal spell on the woman (so far)?

Just stabalize. If you want rationalism help will soon arrive for her with first aid and magical healing. By leaving her we buy us time, and srabalize means the woman is not in danger.

Heal wouldn't have gotten rid of the stun damage anyway. Using a stim patch is likely the only option (beside first aid)

@Volker: I think you meant "back down".

Thanee

Oh thanks!

Orokos is not working for me too.

Who is within LOS to the bomb? It doesn't do anything without LOS, unless I am mistaken?

Thanee

Why no spell defense Jack? It is very likely that she/they would. We were just attacked by a mage and expecting a mage from the elevator.

Well no one declared Spell Defense?

Oh, as to the dice roller question, the only ones that I'm aware of are built into forums. Paizo runs one on their forums, as does Giantitp. I haven’t been to either in over a year, so I don't know how true that still is. You could probably run one over discord by inviting a dice-rolling bot into the server.

It's no biggie - I removed 1 edge. But seriously, it feels like Anna would just keep it active the enitire time they are breaking into a cooperate facility. Is there any reason NOT to have it always on? I understand that if you fireball someone when she is on a romantic date, or shoppin - she likely does not use spell defense. but, otherwise, why not? - Does it prevent her from doing other actions?

It does take your free action or reduces your ini by 5.
So it is taking some effort to maintain it ready and prevents you for example from using the free action for speaking.
Though, considering that you just took out the threat completely, I'll give you a point of edge back as per the edge regeneration rules on p. 56 (succeeding at an important task)

@Gilga: Awesome, way to go!

Thanks Jack, and I'll declare spell defense explicitly now. Specifically Anna keeps it on, even after.

Here's another alternative I've found. Seems like a lot of hassle for what we would hope is temporary

https://dicelog.com/dice (We'd also have to manually count successes by the looks of it)

Electroception: 10d6 - 3

14+2d6: 20 [2d6=3, 3]

Was going to say Anna would use astral perception - but I guess we're combat time.

Result of the throw of dice "3d6 +11" : 1 + 2 + 2 + 11 = 16

Oh, and before combat starts, I'd like to officially declare Spell Defense

me too

Sheesh, this guy is no pushover:D
Wraith would spend all his 8d here, for the entire group of course.

Note that Anna spent all her 16D to remove 8 out of the 10 hits - so he only has 2 hits - but if it is an AOE spell we may need to take out all 10 hits.

If Luckace manages two more hits, the spell is neutralized
And yes, it's AoE

Jack would you allow making the mage visible to Nova by tagging him in the matrix, or by using the trid phantasm spell?

Both would work

Alright I know
Nova 30
Anna is at 20,
Shark 16
Wraith: 14
bnc?
Nyan(is she with us?)

who goes first?

Nyan is with bnc and hangs back (i.e. is not participating in combat)

Right, Initiative... 30

Bye
Thanee

So Nova is first!

Since she cannot see anything, Nova will just delay for now.

Bye
Thanee
