<<< So what is the plan at this point? Do we leave these poachers alive or dead?How are we going to get the crate up here? Once I drag these duffels to the new van I am going to go under for a while to help out with over watch and to dig through all our files to find out the past. Who do we want in charge to organize this fragin cluster?  Crumpled Out>>>>

The Crumpled Man has started to refer to himself as Crumpled. It has begun.

The Masked Woman
Lifting the man with a chest wound:

BOD 5 + STR 4 = 4 hits

Got my back into that one. Baseline 60kg plus another 60kg from the hits. I'm hoping 120kg is enough to do the trick.

Intimidation to ensure their abject terror, although I'm hoping that giving them the medkit provides a ray of hope that they'll get out of this alive so they don't go all desperado on me. CHA 3 + Skill ?? + Obvious Weapon 2 + Have inflicted pain 2 = (7+?)

Might be -2 once I'm alone, since they will outnumber me.

Rolling Paranormal Critters knowledge skill to identify the beast in the boot:

LOG 5 + Skill 2 = 2 hits

120kg is plenty to lift him.

Cha 3 + Intimidate 2 + Obvious Weapon 2 + pain 2 + 1 for being imposing, largely due to the mask. Add the -2 for them outnumbering you, since they will after you get far enough away. So a total of 8d6.

You recognize the paracritter as a Horned Bear, a rare animal that lives in forested and mountainous regions in North America. It's close to 4 meters in height and can weigh 600 kilograms. It is fairly intelligent, bordering on sapient, and is known for its tendency to engage in honorable combat when potential threats enter its territory.

Quote from: Running Wild
The horned bear is a semi-intelligent and territorial species. When an intruder enters its territory, it follows a specific behavior. Initially, the bear challenges the intruder. If the intruder accepts the challenge, the bear engages it in hand to paw combat. The bear actually sheaths its claws and attempts to only knock the intruder out. If the intruder draws first blood, the horned bear allows the intruder through its territory. If the intruder is knocked unconscious, then the horned bear expects the intruder to leave after regaining consciousness. If the intruder does not try to enter melee or if it receives help, the bear instead becomes much more violent and fights to the death.

Said Intimidation roll: 4 hits

Apologies if I advanced too far without securing the Intimidation roll. If they had resisted it would have been choppity-chop.

Edit: Or maybe just the one chop, to encourage them to reconsider.

Double edit: Just realized I've been coding my URL links wrong this whole time. Fixed this one.

They both got 3 hits to resist, so they are sufficiently intimidated.

Ace will go along with the Masked Woman while asking his questions if she doesn’t stop. I’ll gladly roll a second intimidate test to get them cooperate more and give up the necessary info as well, although I don’t yet know if I have the skill. Anyway, I think it should about look like this (although I didn’t cause him pain, I think the Masked Woman’s knife may apply for my test as well):
CHA(4) + Inimidate(?) + imposing, obvious weapon, caused pain(6) – subject hostile, result annoying(4) [Social(5)]

Red Team:
The Masked Woman – Tecumseh – ?
The Crumpled Man – Ravensoracle – Crumpled
The Troll – Poindexter – Uncle Sam
The Elf – Martinchaen – ?
The Orc – Novocrane – ?
The Dwarf – GrimWulf – ?
The Human – Ren – Ace

That's about right for the Elf, Ren; I'm hoping I'll find something right about now...
Before rebooting I would have told the autopilot to re-engage the headlights and emergency lights, pilot itself to a spot that's a little more out of the way of incoming traffic, and to close the doors just in case while leaving the locks disengaged.

On my way up the hill, rooting through my electronic devices (commlink, weapon, even the fraggin' flashlight and the rest of it just in case I've left a personalized setting somewhere that'll trigger a memory) to see if there are any clues as to who I am.

Taking a look around us in AR to make sure there aren't any other cars approaching:
Matrix Perception [5]
13d6t5: 2 [13d6t5=6, 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 1, 6, 1, 2, 1, 4]

Composure test to not mind killing folks:
Composure [9]
13d6t5: 4 [13d6t5=1, 6, 5, 2, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 4, 3, 5, 3]
Whelp, I apparently don't mind, at least not from a moral perspective.

Trying to come up with a way of disposing of them that won't leave any trace:
Logic 5 + Medicine ? = ?

EDIT:
Matrix Search for something looking like the creature. I'll do this before I start searching the Matrix for the team members:
Matrix Search [5]:
11d6t5: 5 [11d6t5=6, 6, 5, 5, 6, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2]

Once I make it up the hill I'm taking a picture of myself (selfie!) and the others (using Ren's list for reference), in order to search the matrix for any clues; looking for Public information except in the case of myself, which means my search will take a while and I'll save it for last.
The Masked Woman (Threshold 1, Duration 1 minute)
11d6t5: 2 [11d6t5=6, 2, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 6, 1]

The Crumpled Man (Threshold 1, Duration 1 minute)
11d6t5: 2 [11d6t5=1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 2, 5, 3, 5, 3, 4]

The Troll (Threshold 1, Duration 1 minute)
11d6t5: 3 [11d6t5=4, 5, 1, 4, 6, 5, 3, 4, 2, 4, 1]

The Elf (Threshold 3, Duration 30 minute)
11d6t5: 8 5 [11d6t5=5, 5, 6, 1, 1, 5, 5, 6, 4, 6, 5]

The Orc (Threshold 1, Duration 1 minute)
11d6t5: 2 [11d6t5=2, 6, 4, 4, 6, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4]

The Dwarf (Threshold 1, Duration 1 minute)
11d6t5: 4 [11d6t5=1, 6, 4, 5, 1, 6, 6, 3, 2, 3, 1]

The Human (Threshold 1, Duration 1 minute)
11d6t5: 3 [11d6t5=6, 5, 2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 5, 3, 3]

You have Intimidate 1.

Cha 4 + Intimidate 1 + Mods 6 - mods 4: 7d6t5 5

Well that was super effective. Results will be posted in IC.

You see no other cars approaching.

You do not have Medicine, and would default on that roll. Your matrix Search on the creature turns up the fact its a Horned Bear, and the same info The Masked Woman knew. You also discover that its immense Strength and durability, combined with its tendency to fight in honorable combat has made it a popular choice for paracritter cage fighting, an illegal underground sport that either pits two critters against each other, or puts a metahuman in a cage with a paracritter. Live Horned Bears can sell for a substantial sum to the right buyer as a result, but they are also sometimes poached for their horns, which are used in alchemical compounds.

The results of you rooting around your gear, and searching the matrix for yourself and your allies, will be posted in the IC.

Sorry weekend was busier then expected. Will get a post up.

You still with us, Grim? It's been a few days since you posted. There's nothing wrong with the Dwarf kind of just standing there and spacing out for awhile, a lot of shit has happened to him, but at the rate people are participating, you might get left behind.

two things,

What did I find with the search of the gear I had in my pockets. Before I drop out of VR I checked the datachip and status of the credsticks.

Also I will be unavailable Fri-Mon this weekend. I have a biker rally for the four days and that means no internet access.

What datachip? Your credstick has 1,970 nuyen on it.

And have fun! Crumpled Man will spend your absence in VR, or something.

Sorry I misread data tap as datachip. My mistake.

@ Ryo- Feel free to take over the Crumpled Man if you need him for anything.

EDIT: {Frustrated Growl} Just spent like 30 minutes putting together a nice IC post just to lose it. Aaaaggghh. I'll get it posted up tonight once I get back in a couple of hours.
