This game is a solo story.

Perception: 11 02 01 01
+Smell: 04 04
+Hearing: 10 09 05 05 05 03 03 03 02

Astral Perception: 11 08 04 04 03 02 02 01

I'm going to aura scan each of them, trying to get a feel for their emotional state, magic ability, and any cyber installed.

Troll/Orc: 05 05 05 04 04 03 02 01
Human: 22 05 05 04 04 02 01 01

5 successes on each, should tell me everything about them.

Hmm, there following you, and doing a good job of it, you hear them more than you see them. So I am not sure you can look at them long enough to assence them without just standing there and staring at them.

Oh, and I forgot to roll Stealth to hide in the alley.... or are they right on top of me?

Stealth: 14 10 08 04 03 02 02 01

If I make the stealth check, maybe they loose me and walk on by, so I can watch them from behind them.

Which is carrying the club? The orc or the human?

Orc

Free action: Call shot to head
Simple Action: Aim
Simple Action: Fire (gel round, base damage 7M Stun)

Pistols: 15 14 05 05 05 04 04 04 03 03 03 03 02 02 02 02 (16 Successes)

Just so you know, I don't do called shots. Aiming is as good as it gets. Not that it makes a dif in this situation.

I'd like to think that with Savior's skill, he could make the shot not kill the guy, just knock him out (call that the 'called shot' part of it if you want). Here are some social rolls for the questioning...

Street Etiquette: 08 07 05 04
Physical Intimidation: 05 04 04 01

Good Rep 2 (the reason I used my name in the post)

Dude, you got 16 successes. Hes dead. Gel rounds aren't a 'stun' setting. They do less damage thats all. But seeing as how you didn't intend to kill him, I will give you a break. Just bear that in mind in the future when you shoot someone, they could die, no matter what kind of rounds you are using.

Actually, Gel round are stun. Granted, the stun damage can overflow into physical, but gel rounds do -2 power and the damage is stun instead of physical. Either way, thanks for not killing him...

Yes they start off with stun damage. But 16 Successes kicks you right over to deadly physical. guns are dangerous, they kill people, regardless of the kind of ammo you have.

Another set of perception checks as I near the club and check it out.

Perception: 05 04 03 01
Smell: 11 04
Hearing: 10 05 04 04 04 04 03 01 01

Astral: 11 10 10 04 04 04 03 02

Intimidation: 08 05 03 02

And thats 2 karma for Savior

Katana: 20 10 10 10 08 07 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 04 04 03 02

Dikoted, base damage is 12S

I'm trying to get a surprise round here and take out the doctor before anything moves foward.

Reaction: 10 08 08 05 04 04 03 03 01

I think you got it.

Init: 21

You go first.

Attacking the leader, reach used to reduce me TN to 3.

Katana: 07 04 04 04 03 03 03 02 01 01

Base damage is 12S

Anyone else left in the room? Guards?

Theres the gang leader and one guard.


oops, i was waiting for you to roll init... and you already did! Hehe.

Does he make it out the door? I was going to put a Gel round into him. I don't want a big rampage going on outside.

In case he doesn't, here is my roll.

Free action, quickdraw Predator: 14 08 05 04 04 03 03 01 (successfull)
Simple: Aim (reducing his movment modifier)
Simple: Fire (TN should be 3): 09 07 07 05 05 05 04 04 03 02 02 02 02 01 01 01 (9 Successes, base damage is 7M stun, staged to 7D stun + 7M Physical)

I'm confused. Whizbang keeps calling herself Jessica, but the data I got on her said the name was Jamie. Which is it?

Jessica. As it says in IC.

I don't get it, your quote says Jessica.

AHHH!!! Your edit-foo is strong!

Shadow: Does this sound like Blood Magic to Savior?

Magic Threats: 15 05 02 02

Very much so.

Aura Reading: 15 11 07 05 04 03 03 02

She is telling the truth, and ver distraught. You have no idea why she would be special to a blood mage. She is magically active though.


Go ahead and do the call to Todd.

Shadow, we'll need a post from you letting us know how things go getting to the bike and back to my apartment. Good thing I got a bike big enough for a second rider.

Guys, I'm off for the weekend. Over worked and over stressed. A buddy invited me up to his cabin for the weekend to get away from things for a few days. I'll post when I get back.

*drums fingers on desk, waiting for Shadow to give him something to kill*

Sorry for my absence, I was abruptly tasked out to do a Win2k to Win Xp migration. Professionally it is a lot of fun but I have little to no access to my games. I will try to catch up and post today. But I suspect this will go on through Friday. Sorry

Its cool man, stuff happens to me all the time too. How are things looking now? Getting more free time yet?

Well, I'm heading off to Dragon*Con soon...see you guys Monday evening/Tuesday afternoon.

Alright, its been like a month sence we've done anything with this game. Lets get back on track.
