Just realized something, Snow is going to need several turns uninterrupted to get Sammy back up, being attacked is definitely an interruption.  Mercy, you will need to deal with the drone before Snow can start, and preferably before you expose a patient to them.

First IP 3 and 4 of Clem and O'Connor.  I have a feeling that this fight is not going well at the moment.

I have a question: if I go unconscious and I have a spell on meself in a focus, is that spell gone, or does it stay on?

And the sniper, mage, spirit, drones and presumably a rigger. Point is Mercy, its not your turn, and at the current pace it won't be for a good long while.

A spirit only has 2 IP while materialised (which it is if you can see it).  A mage probably won't have more than 2 IP.  If he has, please kill him but leave the focus he puts the IP spell in unharmed because well... dibs. :)

We are at the second pass of the first round, snow does have an action at 13, like O'Conner and Clem.  Her full movement was taken low crawling between the cars and she can't actually to help anyone yet, but if she wants to do so in the second round, she needs to find and deal with the drone first, which she can still do.  Second passes have been declared for the heavies.  I am willing to bet 3rd passes will be burned for defense once I post ic this evening for the bad guys.  Next post should from snow looking for her attacker, hopefully.

Snow will look for her attacker and draw her gun.  Is that the entire IP or can she also shoot it?  Snow has Image Link so can she see what Clem or Con are seeing?

Even if the links were shared, you wouldn't get an advantage from that.  If you are looking hard, you wouldn't be able to draw and fire in the same action as well.

This sounds like a tough fight, especially without a mage by our side :(

OK  I will mod the post to just be looking.  Not that it does me any good with that roll and my stun negative modifier.

I might suggest that this would be a good time for an edge re-roll, the way I am doing it, once you can spot them they stay spotted, but as long as you can't see them they are dangerous.

Okay, this fight is supposed to be tough, give you guys a taste of getting ambushed, and heightening the tension, but not a TPK or even a Partial TPK.  So I am going to use this as a teaching example for our newer player.

Near as I can tell, (let me know if I get this wrong, Mercy) Snow is doing her job, making sure everyone stays up and in the fight.  She is low-crawling from one car to the other, which is just movement, you get that over the course of the turn.  She has two passes, and looking is a simple action, actively looking for a specific thing (like a hidden attacker) actually gives a bonus to that roll (+3d6), which she has two of in a turn.  Readying a weapon or firing a gun are also simple actions.  A physical attack is a complex action.

To this point, she has declared movement and taken 1 simple action in 2 passes, which she didn’t do to full capacity.

To speed this along, I will roll some for you if that is okay.

7d6 is a reasonably good chance to see with a Threshhold of 2 , so Edge before the roll is not something you want to consider.

Intuition 4 + Perception 2 + Actively Looking 3 - WM 2 =: 7d6t5 2

You see it and you are readying a weapon, you also now get a defense roll when it attacks and will use Armor to defend the hit.
