Those guys don't look like professionals. And I don't want to shoot some bystanders.

Oh well, at least the guy with the smoke grenade is definitely a target.

@CoP

Okay - Al's initiative for second turn is
11 + 2d6 - 1 for stun damage
Rolled a 2 and a 2 so my initiative is 14.

Drop shot gun (it's on a sling) - Free
Drag incapacitated Spike out of smoke - not sure what sort of action that is - call it Complex.

[adamu]

This one is MUCH bigger than 2m long!  2m has just emerged under the mule and there's more underground...despite the lack of facial features you get the idea that it is pissed (and I don't mean drunk!) 

Wow - knowledge skill paid off on that one!

Anyway, the "pissed" part is enough for Al to shoot first and ask questions later.

Besides which every second it thrashes around is an increased chance of our payload dropping down a sinkhole.


Where are Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward when you need them???

Initiative
11 + 2d6
Rolled a 4 and a 5, so initiative will be 20.

For the record, I have returned. I just need to catch up.

Apologies to anyone for my slower posting habits, if any inconvenience is being caused by it.  I am working on adjusting to being a full time student as well as employee, which is making my time and energy levels tight.  NPCing pinion by GM or players for the sake of pacing is understandable.

That being said, we got a threat on our hands

Initiative: 9+1d6 10

Yuck.  Okay, backing away and letting loose a burst...

Burst Fire: 7d6t5 3

DP 7P+net hits, no AP, -2 to Defense

[pistolgrip]

@CoP - my posted actions will actually take two turns, using up the last of my 23 initiative for this round. New Initiative [12+3d6=3, 5, 4] 24
I wasn't sure how many people I would need to knock over, so I just left a bundle of hits there to be divided as needed. I hope that's an okay way to handle it.

@CoP

Aria, are there any enemy targets left? The innocent bystanders should by now be running away, correct?

Can I just clarify the aoe attacks from you and Thorn...? The creature is practically on top of the mule and your cargo...if it is the centre of your aoe then that is going to encompass the fuel cell!!!

Only one left to run, smoke grenade guy hasn't gone down yet though...

[Jack_Spade]

Flash Bang is only Stun. That shouldn't hurt objects, since they lack a stun track.
@ Enemy standing. Is he getting his defense despite having his sight blocked by the smoke?

[saithor]

Gunther is operating off of instinct, so on the off-hand I'd say centered on top, however is there any way to angle the attack so it still hits the creature but avoids blwoing up the mule?

[SgtBoomCloud]

"Piss off and get your spice somewhere else!"

...i see what you did there, and it is beautiful, Jack  :'D

[adamu]

@Tribes - well, another player vs. character knowledge disconnect -

I realized when the fireballs started (most impressively) flying that I had no idea what a hydrogen fuel cell actually was.

Whereas Al, with Engineering group 6, certainly would.

So having spent some time on the Interweb, seems that unlike batteries, these things don't actually store fuel. So unless it is in operation, and thus connected to a (highly flammable) hydrogen flow, it should be completely inert.

Aria - does that sound right to Al?

Of course, just because we may not be about to blow ourselves up doesn't mean we want to damage our cargo!

[Aria]

Sorry folks, crazy week again  ...hope to have more IC for you tomorrow before I crash out...

@Adamu/Tech Fetch: You got me...I should have perhaps looked up fuel cell too before I sent you out   ...this one is a pseudo science 'cold fusion' will go big bang if knocked kind of thing, not a nice safe inert thing...otherwise why would you have to smuggle it in?!?  So fireballs on top of it might not be a great plan!  But I'm happy for you to throw them beyond to envelope the creature while being outside the area yourself...bit trikier no doubt but possible by RAW as i understand it, without needing any extra rolls...

@Jack/CoP: who says his sight is blocked?!?  he's looking at you in astral too...some sort of adept by his aura... looking forward to my next IC, can feel the <evil GM chuckle> building already!  Don't think I've got the energy to do it justice tonight sadly...so tenterhooks all round!!!

@SgtBoomCloud: Don't worry about a slower post rate, I'm aiming for 1ish a week for TB so I don't get swamped
