Oh, sorry, I missed the two combat sense. The combat axe has reach 2 and you have 3 wound penalties. So you would in fact have 10 dice to defend.

But since you evaded anyway, I hope you'll forgive this lapsus ;)

Oh right, reach is a thing. Guess I cheated on the previous entry then. It's fine.

So, it's Krestov's turn now, right? Man, I can't wait to see Woden fall!

Yupp.
If SgtBoomCloud doesn't write tomorrow, I'll take care of Krestov's actions.

A little nerd joke while we wait for Slobbertooth's action:

What do you get if you give a cyberdeck to a treeman? A German explorer! :D

Sorry, a weekend full of wrestling (holy shit NXT was amazing) and work actually having things for me to do caught up with me.

Plan will be to dodge Krestov's attack -> Reload with Gel Ammo -? Quickdraw attack. Need to look up the rules for that so I make sure everything is right.

Woah, easy guys. It's hard to interact/intervene if one comes home after work and finds two pages of talk. I'm really no slow poster, but I really could not have influenced that conversation (while bnc might have)

Sorry about that. There were times where I probably should have thrown the convo to you or Sabuto for Torrent or bnc to geta  word in edgewise.

Yeah sorry,
but I felt this was in fact a situation where Slobbertooth would not let get anyone else a word in sideways (unless they actually interposed themselves like Krestov did)


Also, since we are about to start a new chapter of this story, I want to propose a slight rule change to you.

Instead of receiving Karma after the run, I'd like you to count your posts beginning at the new chapter. For every 2 posts you write, you receive 1 Karma. In addition I'll give out little Karma and Edge Boni more frequently.

Sorry for being absent.

I really don't think Frigg could recognize me.First of all Torrent was disguised in the club,with  his facial features altered,  and right now he wears his chameleon suit and ballistic mask and he looks like this






Damn I missed the best part.Torrent would have backed Slobber.As far as Torrent is concerned, Woden deserves death.Torrent won't kill unless he has accepted an assassination contract and Slobbertooth could give him the job in secret.But it seems the couple is dead now.

Not exactly.

Here is what would have happened if Krestov hadn't intervened:


Quote
Frigg:"Fuck you then. HOUSE: FIRE WATER BURN." And she threw the commlink at Slobbertooth's face.
The moment she had spoken that sentence, loud popping noises could be heard throughout the house. Immediately the air started to smell of aviation fuel as a fine mist sprayed from the ventilation ducts.

The house was always rigged to explode should it become necessary to erase all evidence. That was the main reason the house drone was disconnected from the matrix for the most part.
Frigg just made sure to cover her tracks.

@Seeing the face
Sorry, I had assumed that Torrent would lift his visor and still wore the disguise from the day before.

Oh I liked that the situation was defused.But Slobber could "hire" Torrent in secret, afterwards.

I'm note sure. I don't think I really like the concept of getting "paid" for posts, for several reasons:

Firstly, Karma would explode. Assuming, that among my 1355 posts roughly, say, 800 were IT, I would have acquired 400 points of karma by now.
Secondly, I don't think it is fair for those who have lesser time to post.
Thirdly, I think it would put some pressure on me to post in order to acquire karma, lest bnc falls behind.
Fourthly, I don't really fance the idea to protocol every single post I post during my lunchbreak.

I would indeed prefer the traditional system (including doubling the amount to grant us the chance to actually change stats over time)


By the way: Now that we start a new run soon, the question around MacC arises. Has anyone put up a recruitment post? If so, has anyone answered it? If not, do you want me to joing with MacC? If so, will he start with zero nuyen and karma (beyond char generation) or will he be granted a roughly similar amount as the rest of the party?
