Is there anything we can get behind once we are out of the door?
Sorry about the delays. Really, really sorry. I am on it from now on out though.
Full Version: OOC: Fading into Nothing
Welcome back.
I think we need to wait for FX's map before we can decide on a course of action.
By the way, Roland is the boss, not me. He's sort of not here at the moment though.

Yeah, I was going to echo that sentiment, Big R's Bravo lead. Also, Reaper will be tackling the Spirits ASAP cuz they can bring a world of hurt to us crammed into the little corridor.
Team B
Good to see you back Shadow.
Very Rough Map
It's a small map, very loose detail since I don't think you'll be needing that much detail. The floor is piled with craters, dead bodies and various debris - the entire area is considered difficult ground. Initiative coming soon.
And yes, there are pillars everywhere - crazy modern architecture, I say!
The blocks are solid cover - piles of bodies, collapsed ceiling, so on and so forth. Get creative with what kind of environment and cover you take, I don't mind at all.
It's only a small portion of a much larger area. The distance from the corridor to the KE imposter is only 10 metres. Need a visual picture? Imagine a shootout in your local high class shopping mall, only with rockets, flamethrowers and explosives.

Gentlemen, declare actions!
I want this one to go fast. There will be a maximum of 2 days time period per round for declaring actions. Any miss and your turn is skipped/action held. If roland doesn't come back from vacation soon, I assume him away from the fight.

Bypassing the KE guy's cover by shooting through the desk.
Throwing a dual-charged concussion-flash grenade at #3, two meters pass the rubble. Rough diagram:
---o

- = terrorist, o = grenade, [ ] = rubble
Arriving at the pillar between #3 and the door the end of the initiative pass, taking 8 points of cover behind it.

I am fairly sure Reaper will take the spirits, and I'm free, so I'll resolve Kadel's action first.
And the Knight's up next, so might as well speed it up a bit, and...
And the machine gunner...
Then I wait for Reaper

That last post turned out weird.
I think I better clarify a few more rules, since people have been asking. You know thermo? You know that +8 cover? Barring other mods and obstacles in your way, your thermo helps reduce that +8 to a +4, and a +4 to a +2. I thought this was fairly standard in games, but I guess not. Anyway, that's my ruling on the matter; sorry for not realizing earlier. It doesn't reduce your penalty for shooting from cover.
Also, I follow the school of thought where you either shoot through +8 cover or try to break past the barrier rating, whenever your opponent takes cover. hiding behind a house plant or sheet of paper and getting full +8 always kind of struck me as odd

DT is going to run forward 5 meters then tuck and roll. He should come up right in front of the KE guard, at which point he is going to go full auto.
Dodge that.

Hey, Team B, you guys feel like telling the rest of us what that terrorist told you?
Sure, as soon as we're done getting shot at.
My thoughts exactly.
Well, I personally think getting shot at was a bad decision.
You're right. We'll try to convince the next bunch of Ts we see to join us for a tea party instead of whipping out the guns on sight.
Resolving DT's attack and the ARer and SMGer. I'll wait for Reaper after this, I promise.

Let's hurry with the interogation and get moving. We need to get down out of this tower so we can intercept the reinforcements headed for Blackspec.
Team A: Mage is in deadly. Getting swarmed by spirits isn't fun
I'll search the mage for foci.
Sure... Lessee... You find a cougar fineblade knife, which seems to have been a force 1 sustaining focus for the mage, judging by the impressions on the astral.
Honestly speaking, the interrogation can't get you much. Both of them are dazed, wounded, pissing their pants. They're more of the grunt variety, so you honestly don't think you can get much.

Shooting KE for the second time. Again, shooting through barrier to bypass his cover.
Same deal for Mr. AR.
Edit: 12 successes, not 14. My bad.

Oops. Kindly disregard this post.
Reaper's continuing attack on another pair of Spirits
If all the spirits are destroyed, I'll indicate the mage as my next enemy to the elementals.
BTW, Did Reaper notice any foci on the mage?

Okay, some book keeping to do. Damn wistooth op again. Thank god it's the last.
DT
A bit of errors on both our parts. The MG's base damage is 9M, his 9 round burst made it 13D. He scores 1 success (forgot the *$&# heavy weapon recoil rules *#*@).
You have a moderate stun wound. Hence, with your two soak successes, you're in Deadly physical. If you don't change your roll, you're out of the fight and the assault rifle guy is doing fine. Doesn't seem too bad though - win this round, get stabilized and get healed magically...might work.
Panzergeist
You manage to ruffle through some pockets and find 2 defensive HE nades and 1 offensive HE nade.

I'm going to have to drop out of this one. Sorry everybody.
I'm sorry for being non-postive, but I'm catching up. Slowly.
Okay, our first dropout. Can't say I'm not dissapointed, but I understand how real life goes. Sometimes you just gotta focus on it.
Heh, and I still check in every day even though I'm on assignment week. Oh well, I'm the GM, and that's my responsibility to my game. Start a game, make a commitment. Gotta stick with it.
Well, had fun, best of luck in life, or something.

Did the AR guy manage to get away?
That evil doer sucked gas, literally. He shouldn't get far.
He's only taking moderate stun though. Still two initiative passes before it takes effect. If he's still in range, which I'm assuming he is considering how large the room is, I'm going to take aim for my next three actions and gun him down on the last pass.

FX, you might want to jump into PBT's character for a bit and patch up DT before he buys the farm. There's no way I can hit a TN of 12 without any biotech skill. Well, possible, since I just hit a 14, but unlikely.
