Ok going to fry the baddie under the van to a smoldering pile of parts. Casting Lightning Bolt (Force 6 at a Serious), dual natured right now so ruthenium doesn't help him at all.

Centering against penalties (TN 4)
10 04 04 03 03 01 (3 successes/cancels 1 pt of penalties)

Lightning Bolt TN 5 (8 sorcery/3 spell pool/1 die ascepted)
13 10 09 08 08 05 05 04 02 01 01 01 (7 successes)

Drain 4D (8 Willpower/4 spell pool/1 die ascepted)
17 10 05 05 05 04 04 04 02 02 02 01 01 (8 successes/no drain)

The van ios going to go full revers for half its accelleration (6 meters) then stop. Then I am going to open up on the guy.


6 Gunnery dice. 10 rounds fired.

Mod: INt SGII, 10 points recoil reduction (mount and gv)

10 10 5 5 4 2

Joli - 9 successes on the soak, eliminating your 7 successes and staging the serious down to a medium. He fries a little. Ruthenium down, comms down, touches off some ammo

Shadow - Moving vehicles is a complex action, I'm sorry ;(

Sebastian's up, with Eric after Jester as soon as Shadow let's me know what he actually wants to do.

I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to back out again. My school just started, but well, that's not the real reason why I can't rejoin.

I sat down with my shadowrun book the other day, as i was having tea and just chilling out at home. I placed the book on the table, but I just...well, couldn't bear to open or read it. To be really honest, I've forgotten almost every SR rule and deleted all my character sheets. I couldn't pick up the book because I was badly burnt out and I still just can't bear to play SR again.

I'm a horrible person for just leaving the group like that, and I'm sorry to tell you this only now. Still, I wish you all a good game, and hope you don't let bad players like me spoil your fun

Presuming the punk is still alive, I'm going to aim and shoot.

TN2 -1 for aiming (Sight modifiers for foam, smoke etc?)
07 05 04 02 02 01 01 (5 skill, 2 CP)

Hopefully that's 5 successes. 10S--base damage from the shotgun.

Ok Sebastian is going to move behind the sniper in the alley and materialized (simple action) and percieve in detail (other simple)

Perception
11 09 05 05 05 03

McQuillan - You would have been taking a -2 from partial cover, but Jesters's moved the van I'm still going to tack on a -1 from foam, smoke, squealing tires, etc. Still 5 successes though.

Buddha - Is Sebastian attempting to hide or anything?

Oops! I think a little sneaky would be in order.

Stealth (defaulting to Quickness so back out 4 from the roll results)
20 03 03 02 (woot!)

As if things hadn't been on enough of a hold, I'm taking off for about 10 days for the holidays. I will be back though, and with a renewed sense of purpose, rest assured.

I'd like to try and get this wrapped up in about a week or two after the holidays and press onwards. There was an actual storyline behind here I wanted to drag out

Cool cool - have a good trip Fenris!

Tombstone - 16
Blackjack - 12

You guys are up We're going to try and move things along a little faster, with a whole New Year's resolution thingy

As it currently stands, the guy under the van seems to be down. Sebastian is currently perched behind a second sniper outside, with the rest of the group assembled indoors. Currently, the foam has cut down most of the phospherous, and the last shreds of Neruostun are hanging in the air. Tombstone and Blackjack are up! We'll try and get things to a pretty good pace and move on with the rest of the game after this one encounter

Blackjack?

You out there? Your turn to post so we can get this baby moving again.

Welcome back Fen! I look forward to the increased rate . . .but I've got a second character ready if Bloodmoon doesn't make it through this encounter. . .

Sorry. I've been busy the last few days. Wasn't expecting things on the board to have changed. It's good that they have.

The gentlemen on the inside is dead or dying, and there are no other obvious immediate threats.

Joli - 26
Sebastian - 20
Jester - 15
Eric - 11
Tombstone - 6
Blackjack - 2

The Dragon Lady is up , with Sebastian following, and Jester after that.

Sorry for the delay, got caught up in trying to get my other threads going.

Joli is going to shift back (complex action) to human form and speak.

Sebastian is casting Thunderbolt Force 6 set at Serious (damage is stun).

TN 3 (-1 from the target being stationary)(7 skill)
10 07 05 04 03 02 01 (will karma)
03 03 (BOOYAH!!)

7 successes

Drain 3D (8 Will)
10 05 04 04 03 03 02 01 (6 successes/light stun)

2 successes on the dodge roll, 1 success on the resistance roll, some karma, 1 more dodge, and 1 more success on the body resistance roll, so still a deadly

Jester, your action. There's a dead body in front of your van and a hole in the wall of your hanger

Eric and Tombstone, you guys are up. I'll NPC Jester for the moment.

Talking and moving. I need some astral recon outside if anyone else is capable.

Checking in to get a general consensus. Currently, you are all not aware of any more enemies. My question is, would you prefer to continue in combat rounds until further notice, or drop out until something else action-related happens?

I'd vote for dropping out unless something is going to happen in the next thirty seconds to spark a new initiative pass.

I don't care.

A) Drop out.

-or-

B) Delaying action.

I'd vote for dropping out, until something combat-related starts up again.

Dropping out if the action is done is my vote.

Dropping out preferred. . .

Officially out of action then.

As a quick clarification, I'm going to give a summary of things so far
Group showed up at the meet with the Johnson, and accepted the job to pick up the slack for the other team that was picked apart by a pack of snipers.
Physical and astral recon of location.
Arrived back at the hanger to discuss plans.
Bloodmoon popped outside of door, ghost showed up and followed her inside, then disappeared.
Snipers attacked.
Sebastian drops sniper #1.
Hole in side of hanger exploded.

Fire suppression system went off.
Enemy inside hanger appeared.
Joli changed shape.
Enemy inside dead thanks to Joli, Eric, and Jester.

Dropped out of combat.

Currently with us, we have:

Fu-Manchu, playing the part of Bloodmoon.
Buddha72, playing the part of Joli.
Leowulf, playing Blackjack.
McQuillian, playing Eric.
Glyph, playing Tombstone.

Ok Perception for Sebastian
10 05 05 05 05 02

Anything?

Nadda. What are the rest of you doing in the meantime?

Heal TN 4 (8 Sorcery/7 Spell pool)
15 13 11 10 10 08 05 05 04 04 03 02 01 01 01 (10 successes)

Centering (for drain)
05 05 04 04 03 02 (4 successes/2 extra for drain)

Drain 3D (8 Will/4 Ally)
11 09 07 05 05 05 05 05 03 03 02 01 (10 successes/total 12 successes)

Astounding success. She's been healed of 6 boxes, bringing her down to a moderate wound, and you'll only need to maintain the spell for 15 seconds.

Sebastian is going to go astral, fly over and take a look around

Perception
16 09 08 05 02 01

Joli is doing the same, looking for the shooter to the east.

Perception (3 Astral Pool)
16 11 09 05 04 04 03 02 02

Both Sebastian and Joli are able to spot the snipers at the indicated locations.

Ok Joli is going to summon her two Air Elementals (Force 6) to her and command them to use their Noxious Breath (6S Stun/resist with Body or Willpower, whichever is better) power on the sniper to the east.

Sebastian is going to shift from the astral and cast Thunderclap on the one to the south.

Thunderclap Force 6 (set to Deadly) TN 4 (7 sorcery/2 spell pool)
05 05 05 04 04 04 04 03 02 (7 successes)

Drain 5D (8 Willpower/2 spell pool)
10 07 05 05 05 05 04 04 03 02 (6 successes)

Karma (no more for this encounter)
07 05 05 01 (3 successes/total 9 total) No drain

I'm going to keep it out of combat for the moment, just to keep things moving quickly.

The two air elementals will phase in, and he'll take an action, then they'll trigger the noxious breath powers.

You'll need to roll combat pool if you want to dodge, otherwise you can choose to resist.
Rifle shot, 14D + 5 successes, dodge target number is 4. Second shot, 14D + 1 success, dodge target number is 4.

The second target has 11 successes to resist the thunderclap, 6 body + 9 combat pool, is taking a Medium wound, and is returning fire.
Reaction test to quick draw the pistol, 3 successes.
Shots has 5 successes, heavy pistol doing 10M, TN 4 to dodge, second shot also has 5 sucesses, same heavy pistol doing 10M, TN 4 to dodge.

[EDIT]Added in second shot, since shooting the rifle is a simple[/EDIT]

Ok Air Elemental #1 is going to dodge with 8 dice (2 remaining in combat pool).
15 10 10 10 05 04 04 02 (7 successes)

Air Elemental #2 is doins the same with 4 dice (6 remaining in combat pool).
11 04 02 01 (2 successes)

Sebastian is going to try to dodge the first shot with 6 (3 remaining in combat pool).
09 08 05 05 04 04 (6 successes)

Trying to dodge the second with the remaining 3 dice.
11 05 01 (2 successes)

Soaking damage with 4 body with TN 2.
05 05 04 04 (4 successes)

He's stuck with a Moderate physical wound.

Sniper #1 resisting the noxious breath (no respirators on, so 6S stun, resisted by body), no successes on the first roll, 2 successes on the second = seriously fubar'd sniper. No unconscious though I'm keeping this simple, so all dice pools refresh, and he's taking two more shots, both at spirit #1 this time: 14D + 2 successes on the first shot, 14D + 1 success. Dodge TN's on both are 4's.

What's Sebastian doing?

Ok Air Elemental #1 is going to try to dodge shoots.

1st Shot
13 11 02 01 (2 successes)

Karma reroll
07 03 (3 total so dodged)

2nd shot
17 08 04 01 (3 total so dodged)

They'll hit him again with the Noxious Breath power.

Sebastian is going for broke!!

Thunderclap Force 6 set to Deadly (7 sorcery/2 spell pool)
10 10 08 06 06 04 04 02 02 (4 successes)

Drain 5D (8 Willpower/2 spell pool)
15 09 08 08 07 05 05 03 02 01 (7 successes/light drain)

Go Sebastian Go!!

With 7 successes, the gunman takes a Serious stun, dropping him.

Just need a clarification at this point to see what everyone's doing.

Sitting in the van after finishing loading our two 'friends'.

Let's collect all 4 of them.

Still in the van, ready to help with the loading when we get to the unconscious snipers.

What's the plan from this point, kiddies?

Let's head to the Body Mall, interrogate the hostages. After that, check in with the Johnson, see what he wants in regards to bodies dead and alive, give him his dues and hand the rest over to the tender mercies of the first volunteer to take them off our hands.

I'm going to be on vacation from Feb 21 to 28. Please feel free to layout plans and strategies so that we can keep going since it bogged down for a little bit.

Errr...I know there are several other people in this game besides Buddha and McQuillan. Feel free to post?

Sorry about that. Had a bit of writer's block with what to have Tombstone do.

Rolled a Body test, TN 5 for Serious stun, with 2 successes, for 30 minutes to heal one box of stun. So he should be down from Serious to Moderate stun from the 1 1/2 hour trip, unless you rule that the van wasn't comfortable enough for uninterrupted rest.

Couldn't see anything to post about in recent views. I have a lack of knowledge about Seattle and its surrounding towns.

Example: What's a Body Mall? Never heard of it before. My character might have, but I haven't, which left me torn between asking or waiting to find out. I had chosen to wait.
