You're faster than the guards, and the +6 is gone since the spirit is no longer concentrating on you.

Ok, here we go:

Free Action: Quickdraw Pistol - 09 07 05 04 03 03 01 01 (success)

Simple Action: Shoot Hellhound (+4 Combat Pool) - 10 09 07 05 04 04 04 04 02 01 01 01 (Base Damage 7M Stun + 10D Gamma Scopolamine)

Simple Action: Shoot Guard (+4 Combat Pool) - 14 11 07 07 05 05 05 04 03 02 01 01 (same damage)

I'm not sure on the TNs because I'm not sure of range. I have all the vision mods and a Smarklink 2 with rangefinder. Keep in mind that the second shot is at +1 TN for switching targets.

I need perception checks, sound based from everyone with sound augmentation please (Cyber or magical would work)

Perception: 11 10 09 04 04 03 03 03 01 01 01

Got the adept power of Hearing Amplification so here goes:

Intelligence: 6

02 02 02 05 05 08

OK, it is my understanding that I asked only Edana and JT to accompany Graves to get Bishop out.

Sorry, no Hearing Amp.

Toturi--Some of the text people wrote seemed to indicate that they were going.

If I marked you in the Cross country group and you are staying at the van, please let me know.

Ecc--I need two dodge tests if you're going to make them, and then some resistance.

Guard (7M with 4 successes)
Hellhound (5M with 7 successes)

I'll take it.

Guard: I have more than enough armor to take that down to 2M.
Body: 08 07 05 04 03 03 03 03 02 01 (no damage)

Hellhound: I have 6 levels of Fire Resistance on my armor. Does that take all the damage away or just reduce the damage to 2?
Body: 16 09 08 05 05 05 04 02 02 01 (no damage)

Ok I am just flat out running for the trail to the bounty and I am going to beat down whatever gets in my way. Think hard and fast.

Stealth (-4 for running)
19 07 07 03 02 01

Centering (for additional successes)
14 05 03 03 03 02

Perception (for targets in the way)
15 04 01 01 01

Scent Based
11 05 04 04 02 02

Sound Based
15 05 03 02 01

well there goes my team work idea

What team work?

i wanted two small groups to distract guards/cover car pool

while a third group, of the most stealthy, went in the building and found Belle. That would probably be Tigger, Bishop and Graves.

Outside, I will take care of the hellhounds...hehe

Somebody just shoot Tigger. No offense, Buddha, but charging in now is not a smart move.

Actually, I have the Traceless Walk power and Stealth at 6, so I should be part of the stealth team.

Folks, it's a ski resort not the Ares Corp Center! I've played with McQuillan before and he's thrown out signals left and right that this is not a top of the line security force. We're looking at maybe 10 guys-ish with a mage. We're prime runners as they say, this is a cake walk with our karma pools alone. At this point all it takes is the guards to comm back and the then we do this all over again. I think we can handle it.

McQ, what rolls do you need from me. I've gone all rusty again.

I'm going to agree with Buddha on this one. Lets just do this.

We also have the advantage of being out in the middle of nowhere, so HTR is going to be taking their time.

Sparky I need astral combat rolls from you, herne and the spirit.

You and Herne can use Sorcery or a weapon skill, the Spirit rolls reaction. Add Astral Combat pool where you want it, and don't forget the extra dice from your weapon focus.

Anyone with Security procedures or something similar can roll it to try and estimate the response time for external forces.

Small Unit Tactics/BattleTac Systems: 11 10 09 05 05 05 05 04 03 02
Military Theory: 17 05 05 04 02 01

small unit tactics:4,2,2,1 for security arrival


---------------------

Small unit tactics:5,3,3,3 for reading BattleTach

Cast Detect Life sorcery 6 (+2 dice for totem) : 9,8,5,5,4,2,2,2

Drain (3L): 5,5,5,4,2,1 yay

Crumbs! I can't get to my character info! Can you let me know what dice you need me to roll? (or roll them at your option, weighted for attack rather than defense)

I'm spending my action to just look around and get a feel for my surroundings. Where is the engine sound? Where are the other guards in the area? Stuff like that.

Perception: 14 08 05 04 02 01
Sound Bonus: 11 04 03 03 01

Ecc--The engine is about a mile down the road you're guessing. Sounds like the heavy diesel of a van like the one you drove here in.

The 2 other guards and hellhounds are on approach, one is about 50 m to your left he's moving at a dead run. The other is about 350 m away, near the fence. You don't see him but can track the thermographic of the hellhound.

bastard--No life out here except the forest and your team.

Team--Presuming that the HTR team was based in the closest town that you passed by, they could arrive in 15 minutes. If they are based in a larger town (upwards of 1,000 people) then it would easily be 30-45 minutes from the time the call goes out.

time to go ninja mode:

Improved invisibility (to sustained focus)

sorcery: 9,4,4,3,2,1
drain: (3M) 5,4,3,3,1,1

Launch Weapons/Grenade Launchers (+6 Combat Pool): 10 08 05 05 05 04 03 03 02 02 01 01

Which guard are you shooting?

Heh, sorry, I figured it would be obvious that it was the closer one.

The launcher has a huge range, just wanted to be sure.

Yeah, the guy 50 meters out is short range for it, so I should have 10 successes to hit them. The stuff doesn't do damage anyway, but I'll get better coverage.

hey eccs just gave me a good idea....using the battletach cant i use my launcher too?

Yes you can, using indirect fire rules. You'll have to check ranges, I don't remember the precise number for extreme range on the launcher.

Pending any treats heading towards me, I take two rounds to deal with the freeze foamed guard and hellhound. Two aim actions and then a shot.

First Shot: 08 08 07 05 05 05 05 04 04 04 03 03 03 02 02 01

Second Shot: 11 10 08 04 04 04 03 03 03 02 02 02 01 01 01 01

I'll be careful not to do D damage with the bullet, as I don't want the drugs to OD them with overstun. Will aim for the leg/arm/etc so I don't kill them.

Also, does the guard that is 350 meters away seem to be coming towards me, or is he unaware and still just doing his route?

Coming towards you.

Stealth (+Ruths and stuff): 08 07 02 01 01

Ok...

The team has converged at the meeting spot.

I need body soaks from Tiny and Edana as your driver crashes the van...some people should never be allowed to drive. 8M, unless you are wearing a seatbelt in which case it is 8L Impact.

Sparky--You were belted in.

Emmm, how far is it from the initial break-in point to the new rally point? It seems awfully far.

From crossing over the wooden fence, it's 300m to the rally point. All in all the run people covered was ~ 1.8 km

I'm siply uniting the timeline since some were taking actions in minute increments and others were measured in seconds.

General Disclaimer

Its all role play folks, don't take any offence. Nice drama though HMHVV Hunter.

Yeah, I know it's not personal

I figured a scene like this would happen, given that Helios comes from a completely different world than the other characters. I like playing this guy (it's a concept I've created and re-created many times over the years, sometimes as a street sam, other times as an adept like this), so I'm just having all the fun I can with him

On a side note, I seem to recall there was a website where the events of this run was being transcribed. Does anyone remember the address? I'm currently working on an anthology of stories starring this character, chronicling his life since he began hunting the Infected, and this run would definitely make for a good story, so I just want to remember everything relevant.

Those are all of the pages that I and members of your team have worked on for this run.

Can we have Buddha's character sheet on the page where we have our sheets too? Bored... want to read some stories...

Alright Gents this is my last posting day. As from the 19 to the 29 I am away.

well i guess i didnt need my foci...but im still invisible anyways....

mcq? can i cast two sustained invisable spells onto one focus...that way i can have an invisible kane too?


are there anymore guards left...i was outside the compound moving...then i was teleported to the rally point so i got confused




McQ---at the rally i am recasting detect life in the chatauex

detect life + 5 magic pool : 7,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,3,2,1 (whats with all these shitty rolls?)

drain 3L: 9,5,5,5,4,3 (these dice sure get a lot of fives, but not too many sixes )





------------------------------------------------------------------

Johnson- have fun on leave! DSF: Drink, Smoke and Fuck, so they say!

Perception: Guards any armour?: 4 4 5 2 1 4

There are no more moving guards outside. The guards that have been sedated appear to be wearing armored jackets.

A sustaining focus can only sustain one spell at a time, and only the spell that was linked to it at the time of bonding. You can sustain additional spells with a +2 modifier to all tasks.

Ugh...

Body soak (2 dice): 1, 1

Would you like to burn a Karma to avoid botching?
