*Looking around* Okay, I can work with this.

Also decided that given Snow Crash's history with spirits (survivor of Bug City) might be an idea to roll composure..
Composure: 4d6t5 1 hit
2 ones, looking like a critical glitch here.

Since you got at least 1 hit, it shouldn't be critical :)

right... keep thinking fail + glitch = critical and forgetting it's glitch + 0 hits  = critical.

WHELP! that sure got my attention... OK given Snow Crash's nervus state at the moment I think the reaction will be somewhat predictable.

Movement: Backpedaling at a walk.
Free Action: Swap Ares Alpha to FA mode
Free Action (Perfect Timing): Declare Multiple Attack Action
Complex Action: FA Attack, declaring Edge use "Push the Limit", using Multiple Attack Action to split attack between the 2 ghouls.

FA Attack - Recoil 10 rounds: -1 firearm, -1 strength, -2 Ares Alpha Chamber enhancement, -3 Gas Venting 3, -1 Shock Pad. 2 Recoil remaining
Automatics 5 + Agility 5 + Smartlink 2 + Assault Rifle specialization 2 + Edge 1 - Recoil 2
13 dice, splitting between 2 targets, 7 & 6 dice

Target 1 -4 defense modifier
FA attack, target 1: 7d6t5 1 hit
two 1s, no glitch

Target 2 -4 defense modifier
FA attack, target 2: 6d6t5 3
re-rolling two 6s
FA attack, target 2 re-roll: 2d6t5 1 hit
total hits 4, no 1s, no glitch

clip 29/42 regular ammo

this is either going to work.. or I may need a new character for CoP  :o ;) ;D

Will get back to you on this <evil grin>

@all: keep playing up the horror movie feeling, Al is a tad too cocky, evil GM in me might start calling for more composure tests ;D

Love it! Wasn't really being serious about the 'cocky' comment but it's always nice to see some good IC :D

Yikes - okay - best I can tell there are at least three new ghouls on Ichiro and two (now down to one) on Snow Crash.

Is there a sense that there are actually a lot more than that, or does that seem to be it? (I fully understand things are dark, noisy, confused, magically concealed, and happening really fast - so if it's "you have no idea," that's cool!)

So head-to-head with voodoo-ghoul here is getting me nowhere so far - but companions (and drone?) busy with new ghouls.

That leaves me and Spike…

Your IC is correct, Aria, that I'd rather shoot than melee this thing…

Is it back on the floor now, or still on the ceiling?

If on the ground, Spike will charge the legs so Al can step back and keep shooting at the chest/neck/head area.

If still on the ceiling, well, if possible, I'll try running away by going around an intact vat, and if he then tries to catch me by monkeying along the ceiling over that vat, I'll shoot at whatever he's hanging onto,hopefully dropping him into the drink. Then I can maybe get some clean shots as he is vulnerable climbing out….understand if things don't shake out that way…if not, I'll just keep fighting head-to-head until I have a chance to try something else creative.

You should still have plenty of rolls - of course modify as necessary and let me know if you need anythng else.

I'll wait to IC until I hear from you on the above.

OK so I'll do defense test then 2nd action phase... had contemplated sacrificing 2nd phase for full defense.. but I think at this point reducing numbers is going to be key.

Defense Test
Reaction 6 + Intuition 5
Defense Test: 11d6t5 2 hits
damnit... not good...

Damage Soak
Armor Jacket 12 + Helmet 2 + Forearm Guards 1 + Body 4
Damage soak: 19d6t5 6 hits
hopefully enough to absorb damage and prevent direct physical contact...

2nd Action Phase
Free Action: Begin running
Movement: Run back to disengage from the ghoul
Simple Action: Sling Ares Alpha over my shoulder, recoil reset.
Free Action (Perfect Time): Switch Ares Crusader II to BF
Simple Action: Quickdraw Ares Crusader II and fire at ghoul.

Quickdraw Attack - Ares Crusader II in Concealed Quickdraw holster, threshold set to (2)
Automatics 5 + Agility 5 + Smartlink 2 - Attacker Running 2 - Medium Range 1 (assuming I haven't taken more than 2 damage from attack)
Ares Crusader II Quickdraw attack: 9d6t5 4 hits
defender -2 from extra rounds -1 second attack this combat round
Firing regular ammo: DV (9+Net Hits)P AP -
Clip: 37/40

Just a question... since I've joined Circus Tricks so late in the play... would it be acceptable to apply the rewards to the Prime Runner game?

Provided you haven't spent anything on the current incarnation of Snow then any rewards are cumulative across all my 2075 games no matter what character (or version) is being played!

Enjoy :D

@circles of power

I won't be in a position to post on this thread until probably noon-ish Saturday GMT.

So don't let me hold anyone up - Al can always show up late.

But very excited about this game - so many RP-rich posts up already - going to be a fun group!
