Oops, sorry -- I meant I need an answer from WinterRat.

Sedna ONLY-

Got it, thanks! paul -- writing now. (Sorry about that.)

it's no problem, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't loosing posts or something.

Do I know if its an enemy, or the guy that was down in the middle?

Perception (if needed) 6

WinterRat1 -

Slip- On projecting, you see the two guards sitting in the front lobby eating donuts, drinking coffee, watching TV, and generally in a pretty nonchalant state of mind. Nothing else is out of the ordinary or different from your first pass through.

For your drain test, the drain TN for conjuring is equal to the FORCE of the Spirit, so in this case, the TN would be 6 and you would only have 2 successes, for an L Stun. You may use karma pool if you wish, or else you have an L stun.

Sedna, Paul- For the time being, treat Tin Star as an NPC until we hear otherwise regarding Digital's return.

Scrap- Regarding vehicle ID, your van isn't exactly high tech. Assume between you and Iris, you can remove the plates, transponder, etc.

the force of the spirit can only be 3 (half my magic rating).

And unless I miss read it should be force + hours of existence in this case 2.

Therefore, unless I missed something (and I may have) it would be TN 5.

Either way if I had a light stun it's been over an hour of non-strenous activity (meditation and driving) since so I think the stun would be gone... (again, my memory of rules is likely faulty so correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh and Body Test to heal the stun if it exists: 07 05 05 02

I can accept either one, but whichever it was the stun should be gone by the meet.

Paul I was referring to Slipshade, your watcher summoning was fine, and yeah you would be fine by the meet.

Slip, Scrap- Anything else you guys want to do to prepare? I'll write up the post bringing you guys to the clinic entrance as soon as you're ready. In the mean time, if you guys could post some stealth rolls please?

I'm assuming you're sneaking, hence the stealth, and yes, I will factor in the spirit. Just saving time so I can write up the post as soon as you both are ready.

I'm all set.



Edit: Actually, I forgot one thing that I've edited my IC post to reflect. Streetnames.

ah, whoops, I saw summoning drain and my brain kinda farted, sorry about that.

Again two burst fires at target

Short range, base to hit target number: 4
Partial Cover: +2
Target's Cover: +4
Visibility (light smoke): +4
Second Weapon: +2
Final to hit target number: 16

Both bursts go wide of their target. Red Target Two takes his held action, firing an air-timed minigrenade from his underbarrel launcher.

Short range, base to hit target number: 4
Partial Cover: +2
Target's Cover: +4
Visibility (light smoke with cybernetic low-light): +4
Smartlink II w/ Grenade Link: -1
Final to hit target number: 13
Launch weapons (5) + Combat pool (2): 15, 10, 5, 4, 4, 2, 1
Scatter (direction + distance): 5 + 4 (-4 for one success, no scatter)

Marquis is rocked by the 15M (stun) concussion grenade detonating just behind his position.

That should be a mastercard comercial.

Being pwned by a air timed grenade? Priceless.

This guy is toast on my next turn

15M soak

When layering armor, you halve the lower value before adding it. In this case, the form fitting impact halves to .5, which rounds to 0. No benefit. You're looking for 12s to soak. Go ahead and reroll with karma.

grendel: Tony's up after Marq still, right? (barring any more held actions, of course)

That's correct.

12S not 12M? I thought it did 15M to start, Im not up on the rules, thats why I post all my numbers, cause they will be wrong here and there. I thought that the 1 impact armor didnt round down cause it was already at 1, but I guess I am wrong. Sorry.

I will reroll when I get home in about 3 hours. Do I need one success or two to drop it down? And has my Karma pool refreshed (do I have 1 or 2 to spend)?

Sorry, I meant 12s as in the plural of 12. The damage code is 12M, and you need two successes to stage it down to L. Your karma pool has not refreshed.

Reroll
dammit

Moderate stun. Drops you two in the intiative count to four on the second pass. Tony is up.

Slip- Just letting you know I'm waiting on your stealth roll for you and Scrap's storyline.

Paul, Sedna- Keep chatting until you're ready for me to fast forward to the meet, and continue playing Tin Star as an NPC for the time being.

lousy karma pool

WinterRat1 and Scrap - Sorry I wasn't at a computer yesterday. I will try to update as soon as possible.

Poll is up (Alphabetical order. Next time it will be alphabetical order backwards.)


Belated Sunday karma (for three weeks! sorry about that)

bandit: 1 (+1 GM bonus) = 2
ronin: 1 [July 11-17] + 1 [July 25-31] = 2
Sentinel: 1 [July 25-31] = 1
WinterRat: 1 (+1 GM bonus +1 for the venture onto Shadowland) [July 11-17] + 1 (+1 GM bonus) [July 18-24] (+1 GM bonus) [July 25-31] = 6

bandit:

WinterRat:

Sentinel:

You're clear to write through the rest of that day and night (unless you want to initiate social contact), although the dog will need walking again that evening and again tomorrow morning, and once again Andie seems to be the only available person.

The circulation is fine (Sam seems to know what he is doing), although the wards still need strengthening. The shop's still locked up, and will be all day. It's just Andie and Sam and the other guy and the dog in the shop; and the three of them will stay out of Andie's way in the teaching room unless he initiates social contact.

Well, frag.

(My turn, The Eyes.)

I, for one, welcome our new floating platform of destruction overlords

grendel: Taking a free action to Observe.

WinterRat1 - OK, I have updated everything now.

WR1 - I am going to give you my rolls now for the spell so it will be easier when I post in the IC thread. As I recall Scrap or the decker were going to try to open the doors before I hit the guards, unless they get alerted to our presence.

Or you can just write in the outcome in your post as you are controlling the decker and my action will be coming after yours.

bclements: There's not much you can make out. Marquis seems to have a target, but you're not sure where he's located. There are a number of bodies lying on the floor of the garage, but the smoke makes it almost impossible to identify who they are.

I don't want to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong but is there really a pitched battle going on in the Sea-Tac long term parking?

Slip and Scrap- Roll initiative please

Guards Resistance Rolls, Willpower (4) at TN 5:

Guard 1: 21 05 05 05 (sometimes being a very good dice roller can lead to very interesting outcomes) = 4 successes; zero net successes for Max, he’s completely unaffected by the spell

Guard 2: 05 05 02 01 (and sometimes it doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference) = 2 successes; 2 net successes for Max, spell is staged from S to D, Guard 2 is unconscious.

Guard 1’s initiative roll: 9

Oh, and roll surprise as well.

Guard 1 Surprise test: 11 09 01 = 2 successes

Aw Frag...

Initiative:
06 06 03 (+9) =
24

Unfortunately, someone will have to remind me about surprise. What do I roll?

EDIT:
Surprise:
13 08 05 04 02

Thanks, Sedna.

RE, Scrapheap, TN usually 4.

That makes what, at least five pitched battles between the 6th and the 11th?

• outside Tommy Wong's on the 6th (morning)
• Puyallup, street clinic, on the 6th (afternoon)
• Auburn, inside the Spaghetti Palace, on the 7th (evening)
• Redmond, at the Respite Soup Kitchen, on the 8th (morning)
• and now Sea-Tac long term parking, on the 11th

Good thing Sheepdog didn't go any further ahead

Bad week for Sea-Tac generally too.

Well doesn't that just suck.

Bad dice on my part and good dice on the GM's part.

Suprise roll = 11, 05, 03, 01

Initiative = Reaction 4 + 3 = 7

There was another shootout (or, as I like to term it, 'minor military action') over next to the Barrens on the 9th. People just like shooting in Seattle, I guess.

WR1-
Might as well post my next action now. Assuming I go first, as soon as it's obvious that the guard is not going down I'll step through the door and fire the Ingram, burst mode.

Scrap- You cannot have more combat pool dice than you have base skill dice, so in this case you are limited to 4 combat pool, hence I will need a reroll.

For planning purposes, he has partial cover (+4) from being behind a desk. No visibility modifiers, so your TN will be:

Base Range: Short = TN 4
-2 Smartlink
+3 recoil
-3 recoil comp
+4 partial cover
-1 target stationary

Net TN: 5

And yes, you go first.

Order for the first pass is:
Scrapheap
Guard
Tyler
Professor
Iris

Slip, Scrap- Let me know if you have any more questions, otherwise go ahead and make your roll Scrap, modified as per the notes above.

Sidenote: To my players, just kidding about my last OOC post…

And of the six (counting the ‘minor military action in the Barrens’) gunfights in the last few days, Dragon has been involved in three of them. Maybe he needs to reconsider the way he’s been going about his biz…

(Although if he did, we wouldn’t have the Blimp of DOOM tm incident…)

I was hoping you wouldn't notice that one, WinterRat

On the bright side Sedna, I can't claim that Dragon's life has been boring, that's for sure.

Boring does tend to lead to a longer life expectancy though. So does not standing there and shrugging off SMGs and pistols, and not pissing off mob bosses, and not sleeping with the target ...

Dude, you slept with the target? oh thats so bad in so many ways.

Hey! That was before all this stuff went down! You can’t hold that against me! Er, against Dragon!

Man! Even in Shadowrun, those old flames come back to haunt you.

Upon further thought, maybe it should be 'especially in Shadowrun'...

It's legit to say, since you already wrote it in-thread

OK BC has approved me to start posting as Ivan on the 9th, uh which thread is that?

Oh yeah, and what is the weather like on the 9th?
