Normal - very peacefull and good feeling from being in a rural home
Latvia, so GMT+2, just you know when to expect me to be online. Using a handheld to post most of the time and a PC to do the rolls, meaning i will not always be able to post a response even if i am online.
@Kour: maybe a way to get the two of us together. A friend of a friend (I'm not sure what you had planned, but it can be a way should you need one).
I've seen our face has a hacker contact, so maybe that contact knows her.

I like your idea! Did you mean something specific like earlier cooperation in SIN faking?
To be honest I thought more that the team needed a hacker and your contact contacts my ID manufacterer contact and he contacts me for the job.
Another option is that both contacts are part of the same ID manufacturing group, as those things are according the source books always done by crime syndicates or other groups (as one person doesn't have the resources to go into all those databases, especially for the high quality fakes).
It also depends on what exactly we're going to do, how the team will be contacted. So probably option one is the best.

What do you think about this - We may have worked together once and we have met through my hacker contact. As we need a hacker for this assignment, I may have mentioned I' ve worked with you and that was ok. :)
We can get the group together like this. Person A knows person B who in turn knows person C and D and C knows E, and so on...
We should be able to come up with a way to get everybody in this system. We might not know everybody, but at least you know (or have heard about) one or two people. That can give us a quicker group cohesion than a random group of strangers.
I'll post it tonight probablyThat means await the [IC] TONIGHT or early tomorow.
Yay! Then we are all set! K! Make that IC, if you would be so kind :)Sorry you will have to wait a bit i am not at my PC as well, but.....

Everyone can start to think, what they would like to do in a week befor the run, you have time to summon spirits and do some shoping for the money you got as staring cash. ;D
so go nuts.
Awesome! Individually or we can interact with each other?As you wish.
As for getting your character into the group, using the friend of a friend method, I have a smuggler contact that can serve as your point of entry if you wish.this is great way to circumvent the need for a fixer for Caretaker, Lauras fixer can get Caretakar on this as well, if you are OK.

So we go to the meeting and after that we have a week to prepare, or we have a week before we are contacted?You have the week before you are contacted
Sen, just a few things, I hope you don't mind: :)
Why do you have so much fetishes? 9 fetish for 9 spells? All of your spells are limited? You know if you loose those, you cannot cast spells, right?
You have 4 Binding Materials, but at what rating?
Audio Enhancement costs 1 capacity per rating, so an earbud can only have a rating 3 A. E. and nothing more. I don't know why, it's not consistent because Visual E. costs 1 Cap no matter the rating.
Welcome :D
1. Fetishes - I took fetishes, since they are cheap :) Haven't yet decided with going limited. I was thinking about limiting some of the spells for flavor - specialy control actions, animate and orgy
2. Binding Material - since they are using up, I assume they are just 500 nuyen per point, but if that's important I am taking 1 bag of rating 4.
3. Audio enhancements - generated by chummer (took a basic pacakge). Select sound filters takes 1 regardless of rating? if so I'll reduce the audio enh to keep the select sound filter in.
I'll bring the party favors! What's everyone's favorite Synthahol!still waiting for the Background by the way. :-\
Who am I acquainted with anyhow? My character's eccentric though so he wouldn't be hard to meet..
If there's some nice chicas to be found there, Rafa just might show up!Laura and Freya are quit the lookers, but not sure who is attending and who not,
If there's some nice chicas to be found there, Rafa just might show up!
-- Kour: Had a fire in my apartment yesterday afternoon, might be a bit slower on updating Rafa than I had hoped, sorry. (In 3 weeks time: A burglary, 2 dead grandparents and a fire, this new year is taking off very well for me.)
Please do PM comments and critique on him (or tell me he's okay as is). The changes I'll do to him probably won't be a lot more than maybe add Blandness or Human Looking and/or change some other qualities and contacts. I -might- change his weapon skill, Longarms seem just so damned crappy compared to the rest :(
Don't think he'll do much that week other than wait for a call, he needs work, badly.

Just remember, you have to decide when learning the spell. Limit those which have high drain, but leave a few unlimited in case of emergency - in some adventures (more than not :) ) you're stripped of your possessions - jail, other captivity, stealing, chase and you had to leave them behind etc. Even if they are implanted into your skin (but that's not free, so cos.mod. I think with cost GM decided) creative GM-s usually find a way to take them if they want. Implanting is much safer then wearing, but still, there always must be a plan B for when the drek hits the fan. (it would be good to take unarmed combat, escape artist and such, unfortunately mages are not BP friendly, all rounded characters :( )

We use the "Strength and Recoil Compensation" rule from Arsenal? (p163)i do not see a reason not to use it.
Other than "It's an optional rule"... I have to say the rule makes a lot of sense to me.not really, just some exceptions like 2xcha for free contacts and this one for now, if you have some ideas we can talk about it, but i think sticking to the basics would make my first game much more easier, and i am not sure how well i will be following all the rules we set up. :-\
We using all the "advanced rules" then? (They add a lot of fluff and realism, but make some things a bit more complicated too.)
That's why I haven't yet decided on that - doesn't really matter yet. I might as well keep them in suticase for sell and bacame a travelling talismonger. I only need a fresh supply of bones *hint*
Speaking of IC: what sort of class is that restaurant? I'm willing to roll, but I guess from the public node I can get enough information to see if I have to wear my best suit or if t-shirt and jeans is ok?

I hate Inv. Castle. I hate it with passion. With a vengeance!
not really needed, but if you like to have a flashback, i am for it. while we wait for pyro.I hate Inv. Castle. I hate it with passion. With a vengeance!
That's nothing. I've managed to get two bad rolls for ID checks in another PbP, plus a glitch on an assensing test in a warded surroundings.
another question: are we going to play out the week before or not? I've already started at the restaurant, but I can add a flashback if you want to.

K! Caretaker and Eddy used Edge on binding. At the end of the week, can we get those back? And in general, what's the Edge replenishment policy in the game? Just to know how "liberal" can we get with those (I mean we have to span those through the whole job, they replenish every day, week, month, after major combats, on critical successes, or anything I didn't mention?)
Okay, then give the world when we get ours back.Pyro and Xzy Have to post, but both look ready. so it will not be long ;D
As I mentioned, I'm done until we go to the Gray restaurant, ready to start the run, waiting to others to catch up. Are all the characters ready (BP, backround, contacts wise)?
I'm already in the restaurant. But I'll make a post on the previous week and the party (I'll try to do that tonight or tomorrow). I'll delete the post I've written and add it at the end of the one about the party to keep the timeline a bit consistent.
Aalith: no prob on the party thing. I'd rather not have you go any further, but in a background story a mention like that is no problem. I'll probably have to do the same in my post.
Heey! "Looked lost or something" ? "Wasn't Panther's type at all" "She saw his picture but he didn't saw hers"? (Who said anything about not using a matrix persona?)
We haven't even started the game yet, and two women called my character unattractive. Not cool! I don't want the characters to be romantically interested in each other, so you can stop emphasizing how they are not attracted to him, OK? If you include my character in your posts, at least say nice things about him! I did. :)

Who sez I wudn't at the party, huh? May be I wuz there and y'all jus didn't notice.there is a lot of place the description of the pary is so foggy that you can take any part and go from there.
Edit: Bah, I really suck at accents. *sigh*
[spoiler]Yes, it works like a cyberware scanner :)It's one of the popular models, but it has been modified so, it's on the tip of your mind treshhold of 2, if you really want to know reroll at -2 penalty[

Caretaker entered the place, asked for a Slade as he was instructed. And was directed to the table.not really, he does not strike you as a Johnson usually does, not other motives then just to get his stuff some good protection and he is not lying, not yet that is.
Good evening.
I'll look closely at the people gathered.
[spoiler]
On assenssion I got 2 hits on buying hits, unless Slade or any of you is hiding his aura.
I should be able to see you emotional state or health. I should know your awaken status and find a cyberware presence.

Slade is a Caucasian elf male, he speaks with a southern drawl, and his fashion style is Western, complete with hat, belt buckle, and boots; he’s kind of an elvish John Wayne/Marlboro man.

K! That's just willpower, because it's a resisting roll, not skill defaulting (you cannot default on counterspelling). So they roll willpower if they don't want to subjected to magic. (Unfortunately, you cannot resist assensing, just when you have masking)
I will roll counterspelling, nevertheless, it may be good if that sec mage tries to illusion us without noticing or something.

Simply just make a point towards what you want to achieve (in IC). More money, some help, more information etc. I'd offer to help with my negotiation skill, but 8 sux seems enough :)
P.s. Rulling here 20 dice max, exception is rolls with edge. are you OK with this? or would you favour an all out approach?
P.s. Rulling here 20 dice max, exception is rolls with edge. are you OK with this? or would you favour an all out approach?
no problem for me, as I don't have any dicepool that reaches 20 for now and for the forseable future.
iirc, when aiding, the hits of the one doing the aid are added to the dicepool, not added to hits.i know, but in this case i did roll for Freya the 3 dice, 2 hits, would you prefer to wait a day until she does it herself?
no no, from AAlith's post I just thought they were taken as extra hits... Not that I'd mind that the good guys getting more money ;)1000 up front each
so the pay is now 1000 a day? 1000 paid up front?
"Wasn't really analyzing truth. Just an additional effect of the eyes piercing to the soul. "
That's just pure scary :o If I can tell you the truth, Caretaker's appearance and his name somehow always brings up a gravedigger in my mind. I don't know why, I think there was a comic back then...or something...
There's one thing I still want to do, and that's to look up those names you've given. I have media junkie, a media sites knowledge (so a good idea on where to look) plus probably the most dice on matrix searches. I'll do my rolls tonight, but if you can already tell me the interval, I know if I can do it in the restaurant or if I have to do it at home. If those people are well-known (equivalent to national or international fame) finding the basics shouldn't be too difficult. Digging deeper might be of course.if you can buy a hit, you will have the basic information as they are Trid stars information is everywhere.

Kour, was the guy lying at any point?No, he has not. he has been open and earnest with you, and he wants some smart thinking protectors not the rubbish from beat cop, so he pays a bit extra and gets Shadow economy flowing, and possibly some favours in there for him as well. but he does not think some one would be dumb enough to try to get inside the shooting or attack a shadow-runner team to get his stuff.
Anyone who want to do something before this event you ar welcome to post it and INI would be nice.
P.s. I am going by the book here until i feel more sure of myself and can go more free form, so this is the next scene, but if you want to do something in between like using the 1k you got from Slade to buy somthing or have a chat with Big Ben, or whatever just say so, i am here to please you and myself, not only me.

There are a couple of things I'd like to do before we start the job:

initiative: init 8 (8d6.hits(5)=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3342410/), so initiative 10 in total, 2 IP
So we are holding up this situation but still roll INI until all preparations are done.
will you have the time to bring the connection up just in a few hours?
and more importantly do you think everyone would agree to that, as this job seems easy and until now there is no indication that you will be working together for a period of time.
Farothel, there is no really necessary to get a conference call going as a preparation it simple happens, you might just suggest every subscribes to it.
other thing would be if you wanted to slave their links to yours so they would enjoy your protection.
Aalith, just one unbound spirit is possible, so keeping the first one.

Just a confcall seems good for now... Rafa for one won't agree to open his link to anyone yet.with this you could bet up on a support beam and have a better oversight, but you would have to decide witch direction to face, the elevator or the stairs, your stuff is on the stair side, but most action happens by the elevator, and who these days use stairs anyway.
Kour, can Rafa find a spot? I know we've been designated a place to stand, but he'll just vanish and climb up, hiding himself above the set or anything nearby.
Infil + Agi + Ninja, once for getting away from the designated spot (if required), second for hiding above (12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3342436/)
First probably gets a some modifiers to be spotted because of being crowded & blandness and after a couple of meters, chameleon.
Spotting the second probably gets penalties for chameleon gear and other possible mods (dark up while bright below?).
Some climbing dice: Skill 6, Str 9, Feet 2, Assisted (gecko) 2 (19d6.hits(5)=10, 19d6.hits(5)=3, 19d6.hits(5)=8, 19d6.hits(5)=6, 19d6.hits(5)=8) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3342438/)
Will narrate IC when I know what he can/can't pull off.
Stuntmen wearing armor? Thought Rafa was guarding crates... lemme re-read.
Ah okay, they were getting dressed. But they're still inside the room Rafa's guarding, right? How many entrances/exits to that place? And while I'm at it, how far up is Rafa, might be useful he needs to jump down...
Reasoning behind Rafa's plan is that those stuntmen might get lost in a crowd or run in different directions forcing us to split up, but if we stay on the spot we can group and guard. He's guessing fans will go after the star of the show, not after some props.
I'm just jumpy :) Some action already!
Rafa sitting on a support beam above the green wall approximately 3.5 m above ground - if you are OK with that, perception Modifier for Rafa is -2 for filming side +2 for green wall area, if you want make one roll with +2 and i dill dismiss 4 dice for the opposite side.I roll what now?

At the foot of the tower a car exploded and it's tire was thrown to the skies, if must have been real unlucky that Eddy did not have an edge of 8 because it landed right on his forehead killing him instantaneously, and leaving a mark of the tire protector.I'm just jumpy :) Some action already!

@Kour: Any gear you say would have been very hard/impossible to smuggle in?
Rafa's wearing his gloves again by the way, still without shoes though!

He's looking and waiting I guess. Rafa doesn't really care all that much about the actress and the crowd; he is alert because he thinks it might be an organized distraction.

Rafa would've tried to smuggle his rifle in by breaking it down and hiding the parts in the false bottomed suitcase (smuggled in among the cases of equipment they brought in).
Not really sure if broken down sporting rifles are larger or smaller than SMG's.
Rafa will just look and be alert for now, he wants to stay hidden, hopefully to get the drop on anyone thinking the gear is unguarded.
Agi + Palming (11d6.hits(5)=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3343709/)
OOoh, nice roll.
TBH though (and this is against myself, I should shut up), I think Palming is more for concealing stuff on your body... For hiding things maybe disguise(camouflage) would be better...
Anyway, AFB, so can't post the rest now.
Ah, k, cool then! Carry on! :)i assumed the stairs are on the opposite side of the 6-angel so the door Rafa sees as half open would be to the kitchen with according to the Movie crew/shooting staff is not in use.
The open door: How quick could he get to it? (Sorry, can't seem to find the door to the stairs on the map...)
And Rafa can see (and thus attack, or better yet, lob a gas grenade) to the filming side? fun!
*sits tight, happy he managed to get his rifle inside*at least you are in the position to see it and take a shot at it. but you still have to get the gun put together right, and do you have it with you up there?
Probably too late to glue or weld the door shut, since it's been opened already *grin* Just playing with the thought :)
He quietly started assembling his rifle, loaded one mag of gel rounds and another with live ammo and double checked the location of his grenades. <snip>.He left the group and crawled to the ceiling pretty soon after the team got pointed to their places because it was a crappy place from which to guard the armors. Since then almost an hour has gone by.

Will add *ready weapon* as Rafa's simple action to save you one held action ;)Thank You my Saviour of HeldDOOM. ;D
Of course! But it startles the crowd a bit, yes? I mean a giant flaming pyramid appears, the crowd bound to stop at least for a few seconds (say, 3, 1 combat turn?)who knows
I am not sure magic rules are still foreign language to me, BUT I think that once you spend you complex action to summon the spirit (or simple to call it from astral). it will act on the NEXT initiative pass, and it's first complex would be to materialize (though you have written something about it manifesting not materializing, so not sure about that)true, spirrit called in the 1st ip will only get actions in the second.
I think that's the case with summoning. But it's a binded spirit, so I just called him through the metaplanar shortcut, that's why it's a simple action. I think there's a rule somewhere that in these situations, spirits act on the summoners INI. I'm gonna check the books, if it's that complex, I'm doing something else.calling is simple or even free, but the spirit will not be able to materilize in the same ip as called
Tell me if you find anything. Calling a spirit is a simple action for me, not the spirit. And then he appears and ready to go. I didn't find anything in the books or the net, but here's how I imagine it:
Summoning: you take your complex action, which usually costs you a combat turn, and when you are finished, the spirit appears. At the end of the turn, so he doesn't just stand blindly there with mouth open.
Calling: you snap your fingers and the spirit, which was waiting, appears. He's ready to take action with your initiative score (I swear I read this somewhere).
Example: guard goes to the bathroom. Fighting erupts while he is in there. Anderson and Rafa acts, then the guard (with 2 IP) opens the door (takes a surprise test - success) and jumps into the fight. Now he may roll INI, but if he rolls greater then Rafa, can he act before him? No, because he just now joined the fight. Does the guard needs to stand there with his 2 IP-s, watching us running around, with no chance to act before the Mob does, even if he has augmented reactions?
And spirits have 3 IP-s while in astral, meaning they are 3 times faster to react then a person.
I've meant the guard steps into the fight after two persons already acted. Then what? he just stays there and cannot act until the next IP? What if someone from the slower characters decide to shoot at him? He cannot shoot back, only in the next IP? And he needs to make a surprise test to react because then he just freezes from the sudden scene of violence if he sees it :)in this example of the guard i would say he uses his first IP to appear, movement at least, opening the door looking around that's a full IP in my book, just as the spirit coming from his plane, plane change is complex action just like materialization, no?
Anyway, I'm cool with the spirit acting next IP, if everyone sees it this way, but then my IC is useless (the spirit appearing after the mob moved), so I'm going to modify it.
That's where the book is vague. It says that you can put a spirit to "stand by" (the book uses this term) and call them with a simple action. And the spirit just appears...magically. It's like saying when you summon a spirit, is it a complex action for him to appear? I think, the magician "pays" for the action - otherwise a simple "come here and do this" through their shared link would be enough (free action) you wouldn't have to waste two simple action - one calling the spirit, one commanding it. So if the spirit uses up an action just to appear when I call it, then I'd like to call it without sacrificing a simple action :)RL example of my logic
Freya Roll meele Dodge to beat attack on Freya(1)"yep she did
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3345733/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3345733/) - seems to me that Freya survived this time :)
, a counterspelling on that would be all that is needed, to have them contained.Or of course, the non-magical runner's "Plan A" when facing magic: Geek the mage!
Kour.Agi and Str are both 2 so no changes,
1. you seem to be rolling Agility(2) + Counterspelling -> it should be strength so each of those guys you probably have one more dice to roll if they have strength 3
2. one second has passed, how many people could have rolled out of the elevator doors during that time? even if they all could move this is not a drilled army company to move in a single rythm step, most probably some of them would have to wait (or at least delay until next IP/CT). and then if the first rank will be slowed
3. last but not least, how large is that elevator? 25 people inside?
Guys, I don't know if you noticed, but there is some serious counterspelling in place.
Counterspelling doesn't take up an action, not even a Free one.nope the counterspelling itself does not, but the declariation does.
A magician can use Counterspelling to defend herself and others
against a spell being cast. To do this, the magician must spend a Free
Action and declare who she is protecting. If Counterspelling was not
declared in advance, it may not be used to defend others, unless the
magician has delayed her action (see Delayed Actions, p. 145). A protected
character must also stay within the magician’s line of sight in
order for Counterspelling to be used. Note that a magician can always
use Counterspelling to defend herself, unless surprised.
When's the next IP going to start? And since Eddy is looking at the armors, can he see the snitches coming through the opened door?Nope, they are around the corner, Rafa sees them because of his positioning, but just barely.
My AGI was lowered by 1, so I'm AGI 7, but going full defense so it's not a problem. It was mentioned that the mobs devotion seems a little supernatural, did anyone assense the mob for any existing spells? I'd rather the spell be countered and done with than take down 11 people.the mob itself is not the bigges problem you face, as people have guessed it's only a distraction, but a effective one, would you not say?
Thanks!thanks for reminding, could have gotten ugly :-[
Two questions:he did not move, he indicated the he would, by turning, but all his actions were spent on other things.
1. Does Rafa see Eddy approach?
2. Is it too late to tell him not to come closer and back away?
(Since he's only moved 1/3rd of the distance he can walk in a turn, but already spent his actions, can he still "redirect" his movement?)
*anxiously awaiting his turn*
Okay then, great!got me, i thought that they both are free action, but guess i was wrong,
Just one thing though: movement isn't an action.
You can walk while doing your free and 2 simple/1 complex action.
Running takes a free action.
Sprinting takes up a simple action.

Multiple Targets (SRA page 152)
If a character attacks multiple targets within a single Action Phase, he
takes a –2 dice pool modifier per additional target. For example, if a
character engages two targets with burst fire, he receives a –2 modifier
for the second target.
It applies, but for some reason I thought it was only -1. (See n comments in invisible castle)+2 recoil, not too much, even considering your grip feet i will lower it to +1
The second roll was: 14d6.hits(5) → [5,5,3,2,4,2,4,4,1,2,6,1,3,6] = (4). I removed the last die, so mentioned only 3 hits instead of 4. Removing the 2 last dice still gives 3 hits on the second attack.
Surprise roll: Surprise: Init 10 + Surprise 6 (16d6.hits(5)=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3349116/)
Extra recoil: Sure, no problem, how much? (And feel free to withdraw them from these shots too, you're the GM, you get to decide on modifiers :) )
To be honest, Rafa's concept is pretty much a character who doesn't really see much difference between horizontal, vertical or upside down, high or low, wide or narrow. (I forgot 2 dice on his climbing test last time, he'd normally roll 21 dice for climbing I think, balancing maybe a few less, but still enough to shrug at anything performed in Cirque Du Soleil.)
Maybe a Balance test vs. some threshold (depending on the situation) every hit below the threshold giving a -1 to all physical actions? Though that might be me being cheesy again :p He can probably buy 4-5 hits in most conditions, so unless hanging upside down on a slippery smooth surface in bad weather, it won't matter much....
So yeah, how much recoil are we talking about? If it's real bad, he'll just jump down and fight on the ground.
I've already posted my action, even though Rafa's isn't resolved yet. Mine and his actions are not interfering with each other and that way things move a bit faster.resolve coming as soon as I get home

Aalith giving you a advice, your command to the spirit is somwhat interesting, i as a spirit would not understand what do you need from me, actually having that problem as a gm :-\
How should a spirit give you time?
you can still edit it, while i have not done anything but delay the action.
i see the spirit as a NPC, so i follow your command, and some time try
just this is the problem, I see service = command, if you command him to cast a Reflex spell on you you lose one service, but if you command for example him to help you win this combat, he can increase your reflexes, assense the situation geek the mage, basicaly anything. I just want to cut the problem at the stem where players command the spirit to stop the crowd and then say that the best way to do it would be if he cast reflexes on the mage, wasting a whole IP, away from it's task.sorry to say that Freya did not see anything new, you may go on posting[spoiler]"Professor!

Since they know each other with the Professor well and since the mind link between them enables word, thought, emotional transfer, I assume Professor knows what to do. I automatically thought I was playing with him (can I) so it wasn't a problem, just it's kinda lame saying "Professor, cast Increased Reflexes on me then..."
I wanted to write "Time seems to slow down when the Professor touches Eddy, as his reflexes kick into overdrive..."
I think the spirit must materialize before he can cast a physical spell on me, so Complex action now, and in the next IP, cast Reflexes (please insert him into the next IP round as well)
Kour! I'm hurt! I would never do something like that :) I play by the rules, sometimes I can be a little literal, but still...
So let's say in IC I say what I say, in OOC, I tell you, his actions in order:
This IP: Complex - Materialize
Free-held
Next IP: Cast I. Refelxes on me and sustain until said otherwise
Then his IP-s for this combat turn is done.
Next turn: back to astral and fly back to hotel room ward.
OK, I'm not sure I see the problem here. Kour, you're giving me more than I even asked for!that was the idea, that you make the order a bit precise and can even make it broader, you are free to RP the spirit, but when combat breaks out i am in charge.
I wanted only one spell cast at me and sustained, in exchange of one service. But I can do more?
So if I say , he'll cast the spell on me, fight for protecting the armors for one service as long as the mission goes (we are protecting the armor for a few days)?
And you are explaining to me this why? Should I do something? Modify IC, OOC or something else?
Damnit, give me orders! :)
So if I say "Help me protect the armors", he'll cast the spell on me, fight for protecting the armors for one service as long as the mission goes (we are protecting the armor for a few days)?
Is the mob still crazy after us even though one of the intruders is now unconscience?yes the mob is still crazy, and the one unconsciousness is in the green walled room Only Rafa sees them.
Professor comes after Freya just like in the previous IP. And he may finally cast that spell :)Next CT
Initiative Passes
Some characters may have magic or implants that allow them to act more than once in a Combat Turn. When this occurs, the Combat Turn is divided into Initiative Passes. Everyone gets to act during the first Initiative Pass (in order according to their Initiative Score), characters with two actions get to go again during a second Initiative Pass, characters with three actions get a third action during a third Initiative Pass, and so on. Most characters may not act in more than 4 Initiative Passes in a Combat Turn (even if they spend Edge). If a character does not get an action that allows him to act during an Initiative Pass, he can do nothing; he must bide his time until the next turn. The character also gets no Free Actions during those extra Initiative Passes; he may, however, still dodge and defend against attacks.
The same Initiative Score is kept for the entire Combat Turn—do not re-roll it for each Initiative Pass. The only way to affect an Initiative Score during the Combat Turn is with wound modifiers. The number of Initiative Passes in which a character gets to act during a Combat Turn should be noted on his character sheet.
Switching Initiative
In some cases, a character’s Initiative or Initiative Passes may change in the middle of a Combat Turn due to the use of certain gear, spells, or abilities (turning on your wired reflexes, for example, or a magician re-entering his body from astral space). If a character’s Initiative attribute changes, immediately apply the difference as a positive or negative modifier to the character’s Initiative Score. This new Initiative Score applies for any subsequent actions in that Combat Turn. So a character with Initiative 8 and an Initiative Score 11 who activates an implant that changes his Initiative to 10 (+2) immediately raises his Initiative Score to 13 (11 + 2). If the number of Initiative Passes available to a character increases, that character does not gain the extra Initiative Passes for that turn. So a magician with 1 IP who takes his first action to astrally project (+2 IP) does not gain any extra actions that turn, but he will have 3 IP for the next turn.
If the number of Initiative Passes available to a character decreases, then that character immediately loses any extra Initiative Passes for that turn he might have had. So when that same magician returns to his body, he immediately loses 2 IPs on that turn.
Hey, your game, your rules. I'm just saying that this way (by not letting the spirit act in the IP he was summoned, then saying because he couldn't act in the first IP, he looses an IP-s worth of action) you limited the spirit to 1 action. Normally he would have at least two or three actions per turn. Now the spellcaster wasted his actions on calling and commanding the spirit, the spirit wasted his action by not acting in the first IP then materializing - meaning I effectively cannot do anything in the first turn of the combat if I want a spirit by me.As the spirit looks like to be faster then Eddy he will have cast the spell before Eddy starts the CT ,meaning before he can act. so you will get even 4 IP's next CT if the spirit does not glitch on the spell casting.
No to mention if he casts the Improved Reflexes in the next CT, that will not take effect until the turn after that (because of the rule of gaining IP), so this whole thing was effectively useless, because in the third turn, the fight will most likely end this way (with every other character acting 2-3 times per turn, the mob is diminished, Rafa headshots the intruders)
But I can adapt, so just say what's your ruling and next time I'm not summoning a spirit, just cast spells. :)
i try not to be over realistic in combat. going with your scheme Kour you'd need to resolve the actions in the sequence of ending actions, meaninv that I'd act as the last one in the combat turn not as last one in the inig pass.the action is starting at the start of the IP, as your spell, for example, but the time spent to preform it is the whole IP,
I am quite ok with act in first second of the combat turn and stare stupidly for the next two. I go with your method only for calculating distances of moves.
its pyro now.Pyro and Caramelle roll dodge and soak if needed and Pyro has his 3rd IP
Avioding damage (5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3352462/)Nice dodge, now only have to wait for Pyro to take the action further
No Soak needed.
Still maintaining full defense, full block. 9 REA+3 unarmed skill+3 unarmed skill 15d6.hits(5)=4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3352575/) Not sure what the threshold was.
Either way, that's my action for IP 3
Thanks God we' ve got Rafa as the sammy seems to act like a rabbit or something!!!yep, our Pistol expert seems to be a pacifist. ;D
Kour, not that I really mind the guy still standing, but you rolled one die too many.:-[ True.
He takes another -1 because it's his second defense... 2 hits on defense would mean the attack hits.
Before I act (somewhere in the future) I'd like to know what I see. How many of the mob standing? How many meters are they away from me. Are there heavy objects around? Can I see the guns? How many? Or who holds them? (I mean you don't have to take Observe in detail for seeing, and I pretty much just stood there this entire time, watching :) )you can identify Utha, but the mage is only visible to Mr. Anderson or someone who scores 2 hits on perception.
| Defender has defended against previous attacks since last action | –1 per additional defense |

Levitate is not Fling, so it is not as precise. For this i would use the grenade example, Levitate is as precise as throwing a grenade, and fling would be shooting a firearm, if you disagree name a good reason for two similar spells to exist.
Secondly you said you would use the heaviest thing you could - this means it's big as well. Something like 4x3x2m and 60Kg
Combination of the two brings me to think that you would endanger them anyway.
The other option is hitting the people who are bound by Caretakers spell and are neutralized anyway?

Levitate is not Fling, so it is not as precise. For this i would use the grenade example, Levitate is as precise as throwing a grenade, and fling would be shooting a firearm, if you disagree name a good reason for two similar spells to exist.
Secondly you said you would use the heaviest thing you could - this means it's big as well. Something like 4x3x2m and 60Kg
Combination of the two brings me to think that you would endanger them anyway.
The other option is hitting the people who are bound by Caretakers spell and are neutralized anyway?
Drek. Can I at least use my free action to warn them? Rules say that I can use that "In addition, each
character may take one Free Action at any point in the Initiative Pass
(either during his own Action Phase or at any later time)"
I didn't know I may hit them, so please let me warn them! Please! I don't want my teammates to hate me!
OK. But are you sure a plassteel box flying with 90 km/h will do 3S damage? Just saying... ::)the rules say 1-20 m/sec = 1/2 body in damage
Edited :)

F7 levitate is 14m/s and box is 6 body
looks not much but is so.
Looked up ramming and structure. and the levitate and fling spells

F7 levitate is 14m/s and box is 6 body so 3S
yep pretty much so looks not much but is so.
Looked up ramming and structure. and the levitate and fling spells
p.s. "duck!! box incoming " would a much better advice. ;)
as i understand he has to drop it then, an that would be one more roll for the timing and free action
Even if it doesn't do much damage, it can still hamper people in other ways. If the box lands on you, no matter what damage you take, you're going to spend some time getting from underneath it. Or it's in the way when you try to walk around.
true so it seems more like 30km/h,not as impressive but still effective, and it does not change the damage anyway.OK. But are you sure a plassteel box flying with 90 km/h will do 3S damage? Just saying... ::)the rules say 1-20 m/sec = 1/2 body in damage

actually the rules for levitate says:
Movement rate equal to the spell’s Force x net Spellcasting hits in meters per turn.
Another gel round escaped Rafa's rifle, his smartgun AR shows a blinking red "1" on his ammo counter. The other magazine in the rifle contained lethal ammo, if this guy didn't give up quickly his day would be getting a whole lot worse pretty soon.what kind of lethal ammo you got?
Fair warning, will be out of reach for 2 days starting later today, so would love to make this a time where you can think what you do in the short downtime.
making my Parting gift, Rather large IC giving you all possibilities to do something. ;DQuoteFair warning, will be out of reach for 2 days starting later today, so would love to make this a time where you can think what you do in the short downtime.
For me that will be easy.
-Trying to get an autograph from Pandora
-Get those idiot's commlinks and get all the information out of it I can get out.
I'll do the rolls when you're back, but this way you can think a bit about it wherever you're going (provided you will have time of course, RL can take a lot of that unfortunately).
Wait, no! Rafa's rifle has/had two magazines: Gel Rounds in one, regular ammo in the other.OK editing IC but this means you can only shoot on the 3rd IP, as filling the clip takes time, and reloading too.
He emptied the one with gel rounds, but reloaded it (Free & Simple action), so the shot was stun damage, not physical.
Sorry, shoulda been more clear. These guys did't really seem worth killing.
Spare clip... who doesn't go to a gunfight without them?it seems that you, rechecked the Chummer file you sent me and the post with your character, no spare clips there. :-\

will see, might have been put in the false place, Xyz, has time to look it up, and everybody has time to do whatever they think they want if he has to reload, he still has some IP to act.Spare clip... who doesn't go to a gunfight without them?it seems that you, rechecked the Chummer file you sent me and the post with your character, no spare clips there. :-\
It's often forgotten. People buy ammo, but forget to buy extra clips. I make that mistake also more than half of the times. And it's not that they cost all that much (I think 5 nuyen a piece, which is nothing basically), but for some reason the 'buy extra ammo' reflex is there, but the 'buy extra clips' is not. :)
I'll post something IC tonight (taking a few commlinks, nothing else). Hacking them will have to wait until the downtime.
Yeah.... never thought extra clips actually needed to bought. At that price, it could just be part of lifestyle,no?ok will do the edit when back, only if you insist on it. RP wise it's important, right?
If you allow, I'll just buy 20 or so with my starting money.
Will post credits later.
If I insist on it?You can have them, but editing is rather difficult on the small handheld device and my troll fingers, so I will do it only sunday afternoon.
You're the boss. It's just an honest mistake, can't say I recall ever seeing a charsheet where people buy spare clips. It's one of those things you just assume a char to have when it's got lots of bullets you know. And considering their cost I don't really think it'll have any major impact on chargen to assume it's part of lifestyle. *shrug* I also didn't list underwear, but I swear Rafa isn't going commando. ;)
If you say: "Nope, you didn't buy 'em so you don't have 'em.", that's your call and I'll accept it (and run to the store asap) but then please allow Rafa to do something else, he really doesn't want to blow the guys brains out.
Want to post an IC with some kind of aftermath for Rafa... he's really not gonna have them forget that he took out 4 guys by himself in the same time the five of 'em took out 2. But gonna wait to see how you want to do this.
Freya' s roll for nego, just to get a bit more money - 2500 per day would be decent taking into account level of dangers (inner and outer) 8) And if it' s possible, some other benefits, it' s Hollywood for God' s sake! ;)Nego(6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3373829/)

-2 for thinking he is in your debt.
at the moment you get 2300, some of you might want to give Freya a hand to rise it, or Freya might use edge to re roll the misses. ;)
Also still waiting for the Awards, or do we scrap the idea and go on?
I think you don't need my help on this one then. :)nope i might have explained it a bit too difficult.
About the awards, I don't understand it completely. Maybe I'm a little slooow ???
I don't mind doing it. I thought of doing it this week-end, but things came to screw up the plans. So here it is.
AalithHUH as Eddy - For throwing things to stop the mob... and almost squishing his own team mates +3
Caramelle as Freya - A dryad in the big city. Sounds like a fairy tale, but it's probably not going to end happily ever after +2
Farothel as Panther - for grabbing some stuff that might give some leads, and leaving the rest where it was +2
Pyromaster13 as Mr. Andersen - for making at least one surrender. Not that it really mattered with Rafa on the job. [ this was Caretaker I think]
Sentinemodo as CareTaker - for stopping most of the mob ... and some of his own team mates. +3
Xzylvador As Rafa - For stating the obvious in the restaurant (next you tell me it's going to be an easy job) and having the highest body count (if he used lethal ammo) +3

quick question: what was the monetary award again?1k pre day, so you have your 1k for today, but as the shoot was interrupted and you will have to go to Hollywood if you accept it will increase to 2.5k
Summa summarum: we have 1k :) And we go to Hollywood!don't get upset, it fun to have here, not being afraid of some mis-haps, these are the most fun to remember and this way the game became memorable.
And I have a bad feeling that the "throws stuff at his teammates" will stick... :o Didn't mean it guys, honestly.

Wow, this is so good, I honestly cannot think of a better way to award. I'll try, but first:
Farothel as Farothel - for making an awesome list, see above. :)
AalithHUH as Eddy - for the hotel scene and for being rejected by both Freya AND Panther before he could even hit on them :) (in the event Aalith made up - double fail!!!!!!) :D
Caramelle as Freya - for telling everybody "what's real", you know what I'm sayin'?
Farothel as Panther - may she keep her cool head at all times. For hacking while under a net spell and facing an angry mob. :)
Pyromaster13 as Mr. Andersen - You feelin' lucky, punk? He doesn't shoot often, but he makes that count!
Xzylvador As Rafa - What can I say? Single handedly shooting down the bad guys WITHOUT shoes on! :)
don't get upset, it fun to have here, not being afraid of some mis-haps, these are the most fun to remember and this way the game became memorable.
If Freya had crit. glitched on a shot and hit Big Ben then just added "he's a troll, serves him right" you might be out of the Contract but it would be one fun story all by itself.
Farothel/Black Panther: Just admit you got a thing for Halle Berry. Also mid-combat hacking takes some nerve.
Farothel as Farothel - for making an awesome list, see above. :) +1 to farothel
AalithHUH as Eddy - for the hotel scene and for being rejected by both Freya AND Panther before he could even hit on them :) (in the event Aalith made up - double fail!!!!!!) :D +2

Xzylvador As Rafa - What can I say? Single handedly shooting down the bad guys WITHOUT shoes on! :) +3 shoe-less sniper ;D
Xzylvador As Rafa - well - I suppose there is no need for comments, Rafa did a splendid job! been already in many forms +1
AalithHUH as Eddy - for trying to do something so others don't think he's useless :D +1

Pyromaster13 as Mr. Andersen - for keeping himself safe while others hectically were trying to something :D +2
Sentinemodo as CareTaker - for his scary looks and talking practice :) He's really eerie! +2
Caramelle as Freya - for being kind of a Femme Fatale with sharp tongue. Freya's ability to put down somebody was a bit of a surprise. ;) +3 Character surprising crator is a rare thing ;D
Rewards:
Sentimodo/Caretaker for an enormously cool character concept. Can't wait to see more of your voodoo stuff. Sorry for not going into the whole weird eye thing. Will try to make up for it later ;p (Also, loved the spell and how you used it, very flavorful spell selection!)+3
Pyro/Mr. Anderson for just standing in the way of the crowd, simply using your body to protect Pandora while dodging attacks. I thought it was a very in character thing to do and showed quite some self control. That said, I'd advice buying some non-lethal ammo and get shock gloves to go with that unarmed skill. +3
Farothel/Black Panther: Just admit you got a thing for Halle Berry. Also mid-combat hacking takes some nerve. +3
Caramelle/Freya: Making that guy's bag of flashbangs explode. Also, keep up those negotiation rolls! +3
Aalithhuh/Eddy: Did you just transform some guy into an animal??? +3
Rafa: For being the only guy actually watching the package instead of drooling over some movie star! :p+3
Pyro/Mr. Anderson for jumping around and soaking shots that would otherwise be directed at rest of us. +2
Farothel/Black Panther: for being true to his media junkiness and recording movie stars +3
Caramelle/Freya: it's been a while since I played with someone who played female really good, you might be even real one +3
Aalithhuh/Eddy: for a cool idea of flaming piramid called professor +3
Xzylvador/Rafa: for being second in body count of incapacitated enemies :P +2
Sentimodo/Caretaker for not using an Orgy spell with movie stars around +3
Xzylvador As Rafa - Good job for taking them out so well. Good idea slipping out early. +1
AalithHUH as Eddy - Better to try and lose than to never try at all! (as long as it doesn't get you killed) +2
Farothel as Panther - Nice hacking, extra props for the combat hacking+1
Pyromaster13 as Mr. Anderson - For choosing the name Anderson with an 'o', and not complaining when everyone mispells it.+3
Sentinemodo as CareTaker - Great assist!... on everything! +2
Caramelle as Freya - You're character is very attractive. I'm surprised nobody has tried to recruit you for modeling. ;D+2
AalithHUH as Eddy - For throwing things to stop the mob... and almost squishing his own team mates +3

Sentinemodo as CareTaker - Black Dwarf with white skull tattoos - too scary to imagine +2
Xzylvador As Rafa - Smartgun beeping like a sinking sub? really? - awesome PR (not to say the obvious one :P) +2
What is the amount of nuyen to spend?5k up front and the rest of your starting cash + 1k you got up. Front here.
I'd like to buy two formulas (Influence and Mob Mind) and learn those spells. All other Karma spending will be on specializations, taking no time. Can I do so within the downtime?Sure why not, if you have the conntact who can get it.
I'll be buying binding materials also and summoning one more spirit.
I don't. Guys, any of you have talismonger or any other contact that could help?you could ask Aalith, but in worst case scenario you could ask Slade if he knows someone or he can get you the stuff you need.
Aalith?he has a hermetic street Doc Contact, but Slade can get you ane 1/1 talismongr con at least.
I want the following:Weapons larger then a Hpistol will have to be brought in by smugling or bought/loaned on location.
shotgun specialisation on longarms
perception from 2 to 3
the rest of the karma I keep to buy my groups up later
money I keep for now (I want an encephalon II eventually)
Question: what with taking weapons? I understand you can't take them in the plane, but what about the luggage? If not, can I ask my smuggler contact to bring some of my gear to LA (and for a fee, some of the gear for the rest of the team)?

we will RP the 3 days!
so start posting.
you have comlinks, hostage. and time. ;)
How about a wanted criminal *innocent whistle*?either smuggled/ a good fake sin and a lot of luck/ big bribe/ combination of the few.
Probing system
Sorry to keep bothering you, but I'd like to know a couple of things, so I can make one large post.
-What's the interval for me to go through the commlinks (AR and VR, so I can choose whichever is the most efficient).
-What will it cost to have my gear smuggled into LA (a shotgun, a couple of smaller drones and some small stuff). Most other things can pass through security (programs on a commlink don't give off any alert and I have a medical licence for my wired reflexes). I have a loyalty 3 smuggler contact.
Also, if other people want some gear smuggled in, I can arrange this. Probably not entire cars, but weapons and stuff should be doable.
I have a smuggler contact (L3/C4), so anybody who needs some gear (within reason, we're not going to smuggle large combat drones across the border) to LA without security being aware, you can come to me. I'll offer this to the group. We get a group package and everybody who put gear in it pays an equal share. That way we can pay a bit more in total to have it done quickly and above all, safely.OK
Kouryuu: OK with this?
Before I jump in, I have questions.yes you roll Reaction+Dodge - it's just a projectile made up from ice fire or anything else
1, Indirect combat spells are dodged by reaction (+counterspelling)? The book says so, I'm just curious if there is a rule that you can go full defense against them and roll reaction + dodge + cs? Because that would suck and I'd never learn an indirect spell :)
2, How are we feeling about emp? It can short out non-hardened electronics, or just old, non-optic ones (like 20th century stuff) ? What does it do with 'links and drones? (it's controversial, because you can burn out RFID tags with the T. Eraser and it mentions that it cannot be used on fine electronics like 'links because it would bur out them too.)It must be a very strong field, so if you do not bring with you a 200kg generator to produce one, i will rule it to weak to have a range greater then a few meters, jamming is much more useful - jamming on the fly or smart jammer.
-Can I initiate someplace in the adventure?Doubt i will allow it, at least not until we are back. and what happen then is up to me.
So no, no and no? Man, that's cold. I was thinking the Pulse spell, but if it's completely useless and cannot short out anything but the most outdated electronics, then it's got no use for me. I just don't know then, why an EMP grenade is 16F?i would say they push the com's to reboot, but nothing more, no damage if their rating is above 3
h ough most electronics in 2070 are optical based,
an EMP blast can still af ect power supplies, anything linked to an
antenna or electric cable, or older/cheaper devices with integrated
circuits, transistors, inductors, or silicon chips. Most cyberware is
also unaf ected; RFID chips, however, are extremely vulnerable
to EMP attacks.
h e gamemaster determines what devices are af ected. Each
af ected device within a 10-meter radius makes a Device Rating x
2 (3) Test; reduce the threshold by 1 for 2 meters outside of that
radius. Items that fail the test burn out, have their data erased, and
may even catch on i re or explode from the power surge. At the
gamemaster’s discretion, even optical devices like commlinks will
lose 3 points of Signal rating as their antennae are af ected
I'll look for something else :)
EMPusing these rules !!!
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is detrimental, if not destructive,
to the operation of electronics. An EMP erases standard
RFID tags but not optical-based storage media like datachips. Any
non-optical and non-hardened electronic circuits within the area of
effect will also be disrupted or damaged. Most “electronics” in 2070
are optical-based, but interfaces, power systems, and the like may still
be vulnerable, especially on archaic systems. Affected systems may
suffer data loss, power outages, or burn out entirely at the gamemaster’s
discretion. Wireless reception and radio communication will
also be disrupted for a brief instant, which affects any wireless-only
nodes, commlinks, and technomancers in the area.
EMPs have a rating that determines their intensity and area of effect.
To determine the damage to a specific device, make an Opposed
Test between the EMP’s rating and the Device rating (see Device
Rating, p. 213, SR4) of the vulnerable electronic device. If a character
is aiming the EMP at a specific device, add the character’s Electronic
Warfare skill to the EMP’s rating when making the Opposed Test.
Use the number of hits garnered to gauge the damage done to the
device. Compare the EMP’s rating to the Signal Rating Table on p.
212 of SR4 to determine the area of effect. Flying drones and vehicles
affected by an EMP may also crash (see Crashing, p. 161, SR4).
The moment of wireless disruption is not sufficient to drop an
icon from the Matrix; it lasts less than a second in real-time. However,
the affected icons cannot act (or be affected) during the Combat Turn
that the pulse hits. Many older cyberware implants and vehicles are
vulnerable to EMPs and should test for damage. Individuals and devices
within a Faraday cage (a metal box or wire mesh that completely
surrounds the character or device) are completely protected from an
electromagnetic pulse; a cyborg’s CCU is thus completely protected,
but the drone body it drives may not be. If an individual or device is
in a volume surrounded by wireless-inhibiting paint or wallpaper, add
dice equal to their rating to the Device rating on the Opposed Test.
Changes so far (if allowed):you can use it offensively, and the net hits will increase the damage but it's sustained so if you want a pure offensive spell you can get one with no -2 one every roll.
-bargaining spec
-gymnastics - jumping spec (to jump out of harms way...and bullets :) )
-first aid - awakened spec
- spell - reinforce
Total: 11K 9 remaining. Planning to learn 1 more spell, just not finding a good one.
I'm fretting over Elemental Wall. I noticed that it uses Force, but the spellcasting test has no meaning? 1 hit is as good as 6? Or it's increasing the damage? Can I use the spell offensively? Casting the wall ON somebody, or a dome AROUND sby, capturing them? It's LOS, so I can cast it where I can see, and if I can see an enemy.....? Is that where you can use a spellcasting test? Cred for creativity?
Hmm, so Pulse can disrupt wireless, crash flying drones and vehicles, damage power sources and halt hackers...interesting. And 1 CT without smartgun or visual aids like that can go long ways...What would I use instead of E. Warfare? Spellcasting test?it's both teams and you still add Electronic Warfare to the pulse spell - you have to know how the pulse works to use it properly.
Then it's good I've chosen Elemental Wall, Electricity :) How about the formula for the spells? Sen had two I think and I have two + some binding materials. Can I get those through Georgy?you will have to roll avalibility or ask him to fence it, standart rules apply, if you call slade upon this he can have gear prepared for you on arrival ;)
And Material Purchases:
6 spare clip
30 ex-ex rounds (SMG)
10 tracer (SMG)
10 SnS (SMG)
40 SnS (machine pistols)
+ formula and binding materials through Georgy if allowed.
Going to be usy at weekend, as usual, post number will drop a little. I think I'll let him go, though or turn in. Will make IC tomorrow. And just a minor thing: resistance roll is every [Force] Combat Turn, which was 5 I think. 1 resistance every 15 seconds, resisted at the 5th try = 90 seconds (first try is after the first 15 sec elapsed). Or something like that, it's not important now, but maybe later it will be. :)Sorry my bad, but ha was not quick-speaking either :P
15 Karma -> Raise Edge from 2 to to 3.all approved
2 Karma -> Spec Unarmed Combat
A little cash removed to get 20 spare clips and restock gel rounds.
Smuggling: Who's signing up for Farothel's smuggler contact? This one doesn't have the risk of losing your gear, right?
Rafa'll want his gear. He doesn't really have anything that impressive, just his rifle, ammo and a bunch of 'nades.
He's got a weapon's smuggler contact too, but I figure pooling in for one smuggler is better. He'll send word to the Doc and the Smuggler that he'll be out of town for work for a while.
+1...yep!
...karma?!
*beam*

If I understood correctly, the cost is 2k total. So the more people sign up, the cheaper it gets per person.few at least 3 weeks
Kour, the job we're being hired for now, does Mr. Fermin give any indication (when asked) as to how long he's expecting this job to take?
Khm. I locked away all his stuff, including his comm. It can have some valuable info. And nosehair...yak. :)you never mentioned whatexactly is lokced away and what you give him back. so will edit com out.
Kour: what is there in the news on the attack in the Needle? We have two media junkies here who will be very interested in this item.It looks like the attack is hushed up, but a few not so legal new sites and fan sites the rumour of an attack is spreading, even about gun fire, they, of course, are overblown with fantasy, naming even a 100 men - special force types - attacking and Pandora killing a dozen of them before going down. the military coming to rescue, just to name a few, but no real evidence or proof for any of them is to be found, until now that is ;)

You want an IC post even if Rafa doesn't do anything much? He's not going to party, he doesn't really think the others have all that much to celebrate. Beyond buying ammo, he's not really going to do anything.no not really, still compiling the travelling costs and the interrogation is coming to a close as is the Shopping that you will see in a short while ::)
I get the feeling you hate my carpet...:)Not in the least, just did a LOL imagining Eddy cleaning the mess. ;)
I'm not feeling well. I'm going to the doctor in about an hour, but it might be that I have to go to the hospital for a couple of days (depending on the fact that I have what I think I have or not). Anyway, it might be that I'm not online much in the coming days. :(

Luckily it's not as bad as I thought, so no hospital necessary. I will be less online though, still pretty tired. :(

sheet in the black book updated
Rafa's here, though I have to admit I still gave to read about P2.0. I know what it is, I just don't see how you can use it while, you know, being a criminal.Not so much criminal, as guard. :D
Will try posting later today.

Can't wait... though you're kind of giving me the feeling we're missing something important which will blow up in our face.Really? ::)
Lost my post, not really time to search it up.
the group deal on equipment was 2k altogether, As the meta is small a dwarf no less, 1k additionally.
so 3K
If i am not mistaken Freya has nothing to be smuggled
so 666$ each and +1k for Caretaker
Panther, Rafa and Caretaker are using this service, maybe ore if they show themselves soon.
We are moving forward then, yes?
Kour, what are the plans for the first evening in LA? Free time of do we have something planned?

Getting our big bang-bangs, although that doesn't apply to you I guess. :)
NP.P2.0 s more a tool to show how well you are connected in LA, but is may have other uses later as well, as this is something very hip n LA
As for P2.0... not certain how intensely you want in RP'ed or how important (if at all) it's really going to be. But contacting people like Slade (employer), Pandora (he didn't speak to her, but she does know he took out most enemies on her set) and Fermin and uploading his own footage of the fight (including slo-mo close-ups of his targets being hit and knocked out) is part of his plan.

Panther having a blog will be a big boost
Freya having a high-ranking Horizon CEO is already on the next connectivity level

Do Freya get Pandora as a contact? A little contact perhaps? ???
Hoping we haven't lost Sent :(
I'm here. Just not able to focus on forums.glad to hear that. :)
I really hope to get back. But as of today I am on canaries. My wife finally took me by the ears away from the computer and grab my sorry ass for vacation. I am getting back today so please bear with me.
Ahaaha, pretty lady goes rat hunting, this is great! ;)guess she can always ask you to do it for her ;)

Kour: just realised something. Am I wrong thinking we're inside a humongous building which has other buildings inside? If so, Rafa might want to find a way to get to the ceiling. He's kind of like a cross between a monkey and a gecko, you know...yep, you are right, it's a hangar type building with ceilings about 20m above the ground, one and of the hangar consists normal rooms in 6 stories taking up the whole wall, mostly storage areas - your stuff is here as well; cafeteria and Biro are located here, then main area consists of room imitations, as well as green-walled nature imitations.
Caretaker checks the Cases but can not pierce them astrally, there seem to be something living in the walls of them.
while assensing you can see that the whole studio lot is warded and the most important rooms have wards as well, the halls are patrolled by watchers, one guardian spirit, who looks like your everyday Bodyguard. by looking at the studio in detail you find a curios Spirit in the office halls.
Do you investigate it or ask around?
Doing IC as well, hopefully today. ::)

I can't pierce the cases astrally, but does it mean that i cannot pass through them if astrally projecting?
Did anybody checked the inside of the cases? the items we are guarding are really inside the cases, or we guard boxes that should contain the inventory listed.
also what does it mean curious? Of course I investigate.

Yeah... good idea, xept that, well... N/M I'll post it in IC, if Rafa knows what's going on. (Does he?)

"Ohh that one, funny story about that, actually i am about to sell it, just a buyer is missing. So if he is interested we can make a deal or not depending, but a few test shots can arrange. Desperado should have at least a few clips ready, as Ben wanted to see if he can film it firing real ammunition." Slade thinks a bit, then puts a pitching line in the end "300 nuyen a hour for testing and 10% discount on buying, to boot this team mate of yours can get it out of his pay, there are a few days of shooting ahead of you so there should be enough time to make the sum he needs."*muffled sounds of pain and agony*

Lol, forgot about that thing about manifesting :p
Anyhow, you can't respond, you went through the wall already!
And I'm weaker than most.
Good to have you by my side. ;)
He has probably seen devil rats before :)
EDIT: added a big post in the IC to keep myself busy while I'm not there.
They hadn't spotted Rafa yet... can he shoot them (albeit at a -6 penalty?)UWB is a penalty -2 but you see it. :)
Or are they behind stuff the UWB sees through?
Can I spend my edge on The reroll?I like to think of spirits like sentient beings, meaning a NPC from player perspective.

If you give me a good enough reason why it should feel like going there with 150%, then you can ad edge, but so wll the Rat, in that case. :)
roll it, by the way, this time you will get it, because i intend to get it rolling again :)
5 more? Nice....the normal rats - They are just there, making it hard for you to move surrounding you.
Kind of lost on the situation at hand though. What's the effect of the normal rats, some kind of dice pool modifier? The incoming devil rats, does he have LOS to them yet? Can at this moment only shoot the second rat (and the possessed Alpha)?
Faro,
You leave me much to do, have some good time in your holidays ;)
Kicking and crushing rats underfoot, Rafa made a short sprint and leaped on top of the crates in the corner. Being stuck in a corner when heavily outnumbered wasn't usually good strategy, but in the center of the room they could easily surround him while in the corner they might get in each others way and at least couldn't attack him in the back.
"Pudding, huh? You really could do that? Think you could do it to me in a tub and then hocuspocus the two girls to have 'em wrestle in it?" He laughed loudly, aiming his rifle in the direction the rats would be coming from. "Man, sure wouldn't mind being smeared all over Freya's body..."
Think he gets to act starting next turn... no?
you will start using the rat in the 2nd CTThink he gets to act starting next turn... no?
Possession take one IP (or maybe two considering botched attempt).
Spirits have 2 IP in physical, so it should be in after first turn, and you're already past second.
no, it can only get me detected for little gain.It disconnects and resets then reconnects, so you lose all your progress in aquiring the Admin privilages, you might try to get User ones with less problems ;)

No problems. I'll just track them and then have a little chat in person (or have Predator do the talking). Might be more interesting. Besides, I still need 10 hits to get user access and they need 5 to go through my stealth (with 16 dice) so I doubt I will get through. Heavy systems I must say.
Yay, 2k posts!congrats! :)
Rats Rea + Spirit Force + Int + Spirit force = 27?Rats R5+Force5 and Rats Int5+Force5

BTW, faro You can roll perception with a -2 to make things faster.
Any/all of the rats in melee range? And how many prone, how many not?D-Rat 3 is on the other side of the room engaged by Alpha male
Kour seems to be having tough time :(
Well... I'm expecting a new kid any day now, so I shouldn't be complaining I guess. Not long from now you'll be complaining about my slow pace :pDear Sir/Madam
No problem Kour, take your time, just wanted to let ya know we're still here! ;)

Yep. I suggest we start working out a plan on how to get Freya and Panther into a bath filled with pudding...
[spoiler]Guessing the rats in melee range are close to each other seeing they all came from the same direction. Attacking multiple targets by splitting dicepool, add modifiers after splitting:The spin kick comes as a suprise th the beasts and they do not manage to get out of the way of the incoming kick. All 3 of them are thrown to the wall by the force of the attack and just one barly manages to get back in it's feet, it does not look like it wants to fight any more :)
Agi 8 + Skill 6 = 14. 14 / 3 = 4.6666666.
No clue if rounding is up, down or mathematical, will round down to be safe, 4 dice.
Rat 5: 4 Attack + 2 Spec + 1 Tae Kwon Do + 2 Position + 3 Prone = 11d6.hits(5)=4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3502619/). Defends at -2 for prone.
Rat 6: 4 Attack + 2 Spec + 1 Tae Kwon Do + 2 Position + 3 Prone = 11d6.hits(5)=6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3502619/). Defends at -3 for prone+wound.

i will differ to your math., in my book spec and "Tae Kwon Do" go into the split dice pool,Whatcha mean? You don't interpret them as Dice Pool Modifiers, or you mean Dice Pool Modifiers don't get added after the division? Just checking for the future.
I mean that these two things are not a modifier in my book, they are addition to the dice pool.Quotei will differ to your math., in my book spec and "Tae Kwon Do" go into the split dice pool,Whatcha mean?

It falls a bit bad at the moment, but I will be out of touch from July 5th until July 9th. Taking a long week-end in the UK with some friends. We might have internet, but I doubt it, so don't count on many posts from me in this period.Do not worry i am getting back in posting myself so i guess i am far from post frenzy yet :D
Kour, you just busy or are you waiting for something/someone to advance combat with the rats?tomorrow, first thing after doctor visit :)
well it took a bit longer :S but there it is ...Kour, you just busy or are you waiting for something/someone to advance combat with the rats?tomorrow, first thing after doctor visit :)
Kour,i almost knew this would be the case,
I'm not going to act in this CT, so don't wait for my init. IF there will be need to do so consider me delaying my action so I'll act first on the next round, but I honestly don't expect it.
Think we lost Freya :(
Think we lost Freya :(
Hopefully it's just a holiday she forgot to mention. :)
Think we lost Freya :(i know her real life, will ask if she get back in .
Rafa will be happy to hear! :)Anyway, i have her chummer file, so i can NPC her :D
Yikes, both thread again behind first page.
We're still alive so Caretaker comes to the rescue...
Kour, where are you again...
Post on Messy Biz too, darnit! :pas I often get bot checks i do not post from phone any IC anymore, as they tend to get big. also this one needs me to dig up the old sheet i made by hand. As i have to showcase kouryuu. Will get the post tonight thogh. :D

Nobody is watching..
You talking about the cellars, or the stuff we're supposed to be watching? :D
The fact that I have to ask is pretty alarming!
Wait, more alarming thought:
All we have now is a trideo feed of the storage room, right? Now we know there's people with pentagon-grade snooping around the place, how confident are we our feed is reliable?
Kind of torn between having a look at what's down there or, you know, going back to the reason we're actually there: guarding some pretty awesome equipment!
Waiting for the girls, but next time I am at a pc with some 5 min to spare i will move the story into chapter 3.
Be ready the warm up missions have ended and this will start to get serious from now on :)
if it's important, edge - and reroll missesHer acting career is depending on it :)

I would like to have the rolls please ::) at least for the first drone.
I would like to have the rolls please ::) at least for the first drone.
How many do you want? I check every piece of software and every file present, plus the firewall.
PS: this is on the second drone that I'm working. I've put the first one to the side for now, unless I've missed something.
20 should do - not all rolls will be used but still i will know if you did well or failed on rolls that determine the end result.
and point out the priority of the perception - what you start with.
when entering the drone as admin submit precise order of events, what when and for how long, so know to cut you of in a stage of events :)
PS: how often do we refresh edge? It's starting to get important for me now. :) (note to self: improve edge)
Faro - remove the physical self destruct item with a hardware skills. Caretaker wil ltake care of your soul if the drone will explode in your hands :D if you survive destroy the databombs from AR and don't worry,Do you not think it's rigged to explode if removed? ???
I'm not going to tangle with those drones anymore, but I do have a question: how can it be sending out signals when it's in a faraday cage. I specifically put it there to avoid it sending out signals (p62 of Unwired). The only connection it has is a physical connection by fiber optic cable to my commlink, and as there are no exploit programs on the drone, it can't have hacked into my commlink (and even then I have a good analyse program running at all times).It tries to send a message, do a check in, but failing.
Stop messing with people behind milspectech equipment already, damn you! :p
We're already about to mess with a deltaware-level guy in one PbP (and another char o'mine is hanging 200m high in the air, supported by a F2 levitate spell in a place full of BC)... I'd very much like a chance to stay alive in at least one game!
Rafa will kill you if you blow him up!
@Freya: didn't you have a limo with driver from your exec friend? If so, we can use that to go to the party, just to arrive in style. 8)
Back.
I trust (one of) the girls will help Rafa select a good projection for his holo-wear?
Back.

I suppose Freya can take care of this - she just will not go out with someone inappropriately looking :P That's impossible...
Really liked playing this character and the interaction with the rest of you...
Kind of toying with the idea of trying to find a GM to take over the game. Since it's a pre-made adventure it should be possible...
Or is that like, completely not done?
Opinions?
PS: Probably lost Caramelle?

That's okay, just award us 2 karma for every mistake you make and we'll forgive you for them.

I see Negotiation skill rival to Silk here. ;)
Completely forgot about the whole Pito thing until after I posted, but couldn't correct it immediately at work.
Rafa's not streaming video from the who event, only some pictures and posting his thoughts about it (the whole self-important snobs who don't live in the real world thing).
He's not really trying to upset people, but he figures he doesn't stand a chance pretending to belong -at least not without vomiting- and figures a fresh breath of air instead of the somanieth "I like all the crap you like" might actually get him better ratings.
Bunch of snobs will probably figure that it's better to be talked about badly than not being talked about at all. They're getting attention, that's all that matters.O so true.
Hollywood, yay! :)
Would have given you +1
but that's not there anymore :'(
thank god you are not silk, or you would swim in karma already :PWould have given you +1

Karma rewards are valued, also :p
They should've kept the rep system's +'s and simply have removed the -'s to prevent abuse. Ah well.

I'm going to be completely useless during the legwork if you don't mind :)your perception made you shine in the tonight on the way outside, but we are still inside, still talking, so you will hear as the group leaves the building :)
I'm not sure if it's applicable, but I have matrix gangs knowledge. They do have a heavy matrix presence, so it might be. Kour, your callthe interval is 15 min and after 90 min you have collected some more bit's of information on Bacchus and A-Kidz
intiution 4 + matrix gangs 2 =6 (6d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3792781/) (not that I will know much).
Searching on the matrix (datasearch). I don't know the interval, but I'm not going to be looking for more than about 1 hour or so, at least at the moment. Let me know the interval and I'll do some extra searches back in the hotel.
electronics (group) 4 + browse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=5, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=1, 10d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3792784/)
Freya's rolls for the information collecting in the party:
17d6.hits(5) → [4,3,3,5,2,3,5,3,3,2,4,4,5,1,2,5,2] = (4)
17d6.hits(5) → [2,4,1,6,4,4,2,5,2,4,5,4,5,5,2,1,6] = (6)
17d6.hits(5) → [1,2,6,2,5,5,4,2,3,6,5,6,5,2,2,1,4] = (7)
17d6.hits(5) → [3,1,3,2,4,3,5,1,4,2,6,2,2,4,2,3,3] = (2)
17d6.hits(5) → [5,4,1,2,3,4,2,6,6,6,2,5,4,5,1,5,4] = (7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3792754/)
the Fact that you chose to attack the small drone made this a bit different then i expected :)Hey, anyone wanna follow Rafa, just ask him or subscribe to his Pito!
i guess we can jump to you all leaving the Club right?
I hope you give me the time to have a quick look at it. Also, as Sent is the only one who has seen the other drone, I hope he'll tell me so I can do the same thing with that one. :)Did you even spot it before Rafa smashed it? :p
Hm, looking back, I suppose Rafa could have plucked it out of the air and messed around with it for a bit, before stomping on it or letting it go depending on what Panther found.
But I'm guessing Kour is already writing what happened, not gonna make him do all that work for nothing. And that would have made Rafa lose the bet! :p

Nope, still at assembling the whole adventure for you guys :) so this is decision time, what do you do?
Well, Rafa has to wait for someone to take the bet and he takes aim for at least another second and half... probably longer as he has to wait for the drone to fly on a path he can intercept by hand/feet. I suppose that takes at least a couple of seconds.
But since noone is voicing an objection, he will try to smash it to smithereens. Not losing that bet!
No. Like I said: Snapshots taken from straight above just aren't pretty, nor do they show enough detail such as clothing, faces etc... stuff that's important for "paparazzi".
I picture these drones flying at low altitudes and sweeping in close and far and all around, getting every angle possible... So he'll punch/kick at it when it comes in range and he believes he can reach it before it can react (possibly with a jump or sprint or something, he can jump and sprint pretty good!), not shoot at it!
In that case, go ahead, as kicking it will probably not destroy it completely, so Panther can still do her thing.
No. Like I said: Snapshots taken from straight above just aren't pretty, nor do they show enough detail such as clothing, faces etc... stuff that's important for "paparazzi".One more thing to take notice of, this is a Club for the rich and Paparazzi are not tolerated so the drones do not come near the building as the Guard drones are programmed to shoot them down, you can safely assume that this drone is some 30m from the building, enough time to notice it and try to hack it.

Oh, spamming again.
Bah, you make the call :p
-4 dice is still 4 hits. What kind of ninja drone is this?!Depending on the rigger, my dear Rafa, all depends on the rigger, a few dice less then the drone on the roll. I dont think that you have to fear this small one, but ... there might be, more or not, :D
And he wouldn't even be pretending to take a leak, just using it as an excuse to walk over to the side where the drone(s) are!
First, I'm not sure if it's needed, detect hidden node. According to p230 it's a electronic warfare+scan (4) test if I know where it should be (and I do, as I can see it).All attributes are 5
electronic warfare 4 + scan 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5) =4, 10d6.hits(5) =1, 10d6.hits(5) =2, 10d6.hits(5) =4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3794195/)
I have it after the first roll.
matrix perception (I'm going to look for 4 simple actions):
computer 4 + analyse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=2, 10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=3, 10d6.hits(5)=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3794198/)
With in total 16 hits, I think I can know just about anything there is to know without actually hacking in. Mostly I'm interested in it's 4 matrix attributes, the access ID of any users or independent agents, programs running, whether it's encrypted or not
Ah damnit :(
Was really hoping to sneak up on the thing! By sneaking I don't mean not being seen, just not alerting it to the fact that I'm about to attack until it's too late to dodge.
Anyhow, is the thing fast enough to get out of jumping range that quickly?
And what's attacking Rafa, rifle, canon, grenade? Gymnastic Dodge 7 + Rea 6 (13d6.hits(5)=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3795354/) Hah! Dodged! Take that you stupid dalmatian!
Suppose it's too much to hope for someone nearby borrowing Rafa a rifle? :p
Anyhow, he's pissed... and down 100 nuyen!
No. Like I said: Snapshots taken from straight above just aren't pretty, nor do they show enough detail such as clothing, faces etc... stuff that's important for "paparazzi".

So he'll punch/kick at it when it comes in range and he believes he can reach it before it can react (possibly with a jump or sprint or something, he can jump and sprint pretty good!), not shoot at it!
I assume this is before we move into the limo then. In that case, go ahead, as kicking it will probably not destroy it completely, so Panther can still do her thing. FYI: Panther did voice an objection (well, not really an objection, just a request to wait some time so she can see who it belongs to, after that he can do whatever with it). :)
for future reference. If anything is known to me due to my awesome perception, I share that information with rest of the team the fastest possible way. I'll ofcourse not talk with them in front of negotiated person, but will share the info when he left. if there is a time pressure like in combat, I'll reserve myself right to decide whether I spend the free/simple action on talking/signalling, but otherwise, my knwoledge is theirs (and this is true regardless of any internal quarells we might have).I assumed as much or Rafa would have been surprised, nasty bullet shaped surprise.
secondary, you're correct, I've got no dodge skill.
I'm sorry, but I somehow missed:We are in the garden, the legwork was 1.5h long, how we came. To the garden is not determined, but i asumed all at once after the party was starting to end. And while the ladies did legwrking you might just enjoyed the party chatted amoungyourselves, Rafa did a crazy dance. :)
* when did we leave that room?
* did we all leave it at once?
* how much time did the legwork take, and while the ladies have apparently been at it, what did the rest of the team do?
* are we inside, or outside now? In a garden?
kouryuu, can you polease clear those details up? :)
Anyone with legal knowledge know if we can sue the club for being shot at while on their grounds? *grin*
Trying to pluck the drone out of the sky: 9 Str + 3 Edge :: Agi 8 + Skill 8 + 2 Subdual Unarmed attack (Attacking for subdual -> grabbing the target) <-- May need dice pulled, dependig in result of 1st roll. (12d6.hits(5)=4, 18d6.hits(5)=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3795558/)
So I make the test to reduce the jump penalty.
7 Hits to grab the eyeball drone. (I'm really hoping this thing doesn't have enough lift to fly off with Rafa hanging from its side!!!)
Mini targets include minidrones, very large insects, small rodents, and similar small animals. Apply a –4 dice pool modifier.
Agi 8 + Skill 8 + 2 Subdualdid not find it in rules :S but you can check the result and narrate the event the drone defense is here, if i have forgoten something just say so :)
All attributes are 5
I'ts running Stealth and a few autosofts - Defense, target, clearsight.
it's running Pilot R5
If i have forgotten something just ask.
Edit: Also you got the ID of the rigger :)
it depends on the +2 with them he still has 7on6 without them it's 5on6All attributes are 5
I'ts running Stealth and a few autosofts - Defense, target, clearsight.
it's running Pilot R5
If i have forgotten something just ask.
Edit: Also you got the ID of the rigger :)
If it's encrypted or not, but from all this I assume it is.
Also did Rafa manage to capture the drone or not?
shouldn't there be -1 for succesful defense in previous attack? (been a while since I knew the rules by heart)The dalmatian Did not use SA firing yet,
Drone and Rafa both got 3IPs, so that should've reset.
The +2 is from Gecko Hands.
Sometimes, characters will find it necessary to subdue an opponent without beating him into unconsciousness. To do so, the attacker must engage in subduing combat.To subdue a character, resolve melee combat normally. If the attacker successfully hits, compare his Strength + net hits to the defender’s Body. If the attacker’s total exceeds the defender’s Body, the attacker grapples and immobilizes the defender. This subduing attack causes no damage to the defender.and i think the +2 goes onto the second roll not the first. :)
That seems really weird... for a number of reasons:as understand it is if you get the touch, but the gecko hand do not help in any way to be more precise or the do not make your reach bigger, the just simply help you hold on to something, but your point on the dice pool in the text is valid so you get the +2 :)
- if the first attack isn't the test to see if you can get a grip (grapple) then why doesn't it do damage?
- if it doesn't do damage and is not a grapple test, then it's a test to see if I touch it... so I'd get a +2 touch-only attack modifier! :p
- the Gecko Hand says it gives a +2 dice pool modi fier... only the first test is a roll requiring a dice pool. The second is simply Str+nethits vs body, just an amount vs an amount, no dicepools here.
In any case, you're the GM, your call is final!
Yay!Remember what hapened what happened when you did some thing to the small drone, the last time, then you were left alone for a IP, now ...
...
Though I'm kind of starting to doubt whether Rafa grabbing the thing is actually a good thing. :-\
You doing the IC?
Great, the same guys. I assume nothing on my trace then? :)Sorry it slipped my mind with the combat going on.
So I need to resist the 10S(e), or was it a small warning discharge and is the countdown giving me three seconds to let go of the thing?Nope it was the full one, but there is still a warning to what, i think you can guess
Here you go:
10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3796811/)
no glitches
Kour, you doing an IC for us getting out of there and into the car, or can we just continue?We need to see how you manage to see Dragonfly's char again
Oh, well, suppose I better check if you're okay with this though:
Rafa's immediate instinct will be to attack her. I know farothel can take me doing this IC, but if you have a problem with it, I'll find another way to react.
Not going to do damage, will be another subdual attack...
But really, he's just been publicly humiliated, shot at by a high caliber sniper rifle and zapped near unconcious by -quote panther- "above military grade" drones, something which probably would not have happened had panther said something like "Oh, by the way, we're being watched by drones more advanced than what the military's got and chances are our communication channels have been compromised" instead of keeping it for herself...
So yeah, he's P.O.'ed.
It's my assumption that it's the same group, although probably not all that wrong. :) And I didn't know that these were the same type of drones before Rafa charged after them. Rafa was gone before I had the chance to look them over and tell about them, so it's not my fault that Rafa got zapped. Next time wait a bit (and she will tell him that if he bitches about it). ;)
Next time I'm posting too quick, please say so.We both :-[
Lol, forgot about that altogether. Once I get in Rafa's head, quitting a fight's almost impossible, with or without that quality ;)
But anyhow, that's all out of character knowledge. In character I just don't know how Rafa (or anyone really) can't be pissed about Panther not mentioning this earlier. it's just slightly worse for Rafa 'cuz well, yeah. Ouch! :p
Aaanyhow, I realise I'm posting way too quick. Sorry... graphic card's becoming outdated and lost half my RAM to some power surge or something so can't run games until I get new ones...
I'll have Rafa not answer and wait to see how the rest wants to react to this... He's probably got a serious headache and will take Hue... the new guys offter. (seriously, I can't for the life of me remember how to pronounce -let alone spell- that blasted name!)
Next time I'm posting too quick, please say so.
's okay, found an IC way to "miss" what Panther said somehow :p
Yeah, we need to discuss, but at the pace we're posting, the rest won't be able to share their thoughts on the plan or on Panther's new information... So Rafa's gonna snooze a little until a bit more gets posted.
OOC: Rafa will probably suggest to head straight to <quote Andre> "Robertson Boulevard in a dive of a motel called the Cinderblock"</quote>. That's where she was found unconcious and an area where bacchus hangs out, so it's probably our best lead. Unless we want to go straight to the gang by finding out where they are through pito or something...
>> The Feed from Bacchus is silent for a few hours, the last entry is from a Coffin motel downtown on Salt Lake Avenue called Ghouls nest
You can camp out waiting for him, but from what you see in the feed from today and the day before, first thing he will do, when he wakes up, is post something on the feed.
forgot we already know where the gang is: "Coffin motel downtown on Salt Lake Avenue called Ghouls nest",actually just Bacchus as he broke away from A-Kidz :)
FYI: I 'll probably not be online much this weekend. There's a boardgame fair where I'm going to, and our tabletop roleplay group is also meeting. Don't expect much from me before Sunday eveningnoted,
Does enough time pass in the car and the hotel -and is it calm enough- to give Rafa a chance to get rid of some more headache?One roll :)
Body + Willpower (10d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3798897/)Defiantly, and i think that Ware makes healing more difficult givin negative dice mod, will look it up :)
Yay, healed!
Also, whilst trying to find if I had 'ware to boost my healing, I found I missed 3 dice on damage resistance. Must remember! Health = good!
Sorry for having questions again!
Regarding the hotel, is everybody having their own rooms? Is that where they're heading? If so, and everybody's taking some time off to rest, Ahuechei will hapily go home and change out of his suit, at least. If they have a reunion to talk their plans, please invite him along!
Anyway, I need to know what exactly is happening :)
Sorry to the new guy, but this is some money from before you joined (from some drones we found at the studio). In fact, the others also didn't know about that one, at least nothing more than me telling I had done some drone hunting while at the studio (I did tell that over the comms).

10K. It's 40K in total, split four-ways.

the Chip has quite strong encryption

If you want to find them you will have to cross-reference the feed with your map interval 5 min (10) or analyze the feed for information without the map interval 10 min (20)
May not have acted much like it so far, but discretion really IS something Rafa is good at!I know how it is
He's really bland to look at, just like your average ork with no visible augmentation and is wearing clothes from a popular line of sportswear.
Sorry if Rafa may be saying a lot at once, but if we're going to be having conversations one line at a time, we'll still be sitting in this lobby a month from now...

I'll set my agent on decrypting (it will take longer, but that doesn't really matter). The map feed I'll start as soon as we decide what to do.
rolls for my agent (decrypt is limited to rating 3 as agent rating limits program rating.
agent 3 + decrypt 3 =6 (6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=4, 6d6.hits(5)=0, 6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=3, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=4, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=5, 6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=1, 6d6.hits(5)=2, 6d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3801074/)
No glitches. If I have calculated correctly, it will take the agent 11 hours to decrypt the chip.
I believe we have the time, to check a Cinderblock motel, but we're bound to go to the A-Kidz and spanking them long enough to get the recording back. Caretaker

Faro, I don't think we have 11 hours ...
you can do as you like, but you also can do it yourself, the description is an automated process and the agent can do the searches :)
"Bike's in the parking lot, be with you in a second.", Rafa said. "Rest will probably take the Rover... Unless one of you girls want to sit on my back seat? Let you grab me real tight."If i remember correctly no transportation was allowed on the plane and you did no smuggle the bike, so sorry you will have to edit the last post :( would have loved a race scene though :)
Smuggling: Who's signing up for Farothel's smuggler contact? This one doesn't have the risk of losing your gear, right?
Rafa'll want his gear. He doesn't really have anything that impressive, just his rifle, ammo and a bunch of 'nades.
He's got a weapon's smuggler contact too, but I figure pooling in for one smuggler is better. He'll send word to the Doc and the Smuggler that he'll be out of town for work for a while.
We can still have a race - just grab the wheel Rafa! ;)I love the idea, :D
Let the ladies squeal!
Hm... A single person on a racing bike (? can't find it on the charsheet.have it in chummer at least, will ave to update the sheet.
Yeah... NOT racing that :p¦] so you simply drive there. Boorinig :D
... you are given access to the room where Daee was found.
Oh, sorry, I thought we were fast-forwarded there.
6 hits and nothing on perception?! That's as good as Caretaker's average!

Ok noticed it, a bit earlier, then expected :(
it's on and off todaynoticed that too
@Caramelle: you got invisible castle to work again? I still can't get in.
As Rafa Scales the Roof, he finds the cables bundled into a PVC pipe on the roof. The pipe goes across the roof, ending at a laser repeater device pointed to the east, somewhere in the direction of the Robertson Blvd. Checking all the roofs for the receiver would be very time-consuming and defiantly not doable half a day, you are left with.These things point in a very specific direction though, no? Can't he use something (let's say, his rifle) and align it with the laser pointer to see where it's pointing?
That's the way you got the area approximattly right. laser beam must have a exact receiver, but over long distances it's hard to tell exact :)As Rafa Scales the Roof, he finds the cables bundled into a PVC pipe on the roof.

Is there some kind of a hotel manager Freya could talk to? I've missed this info...there is Sancho, you Saw Ahuechei speak to. he was the one taking the money and giving the keys :)
I'll reply to both requests tomorrow, as I'm going to be in meeting the whole day, and I need to roll some dice for this (and look up a couple of things.
We might just as well wait that half an hour. And then decide what to do next, depending on the news (if there is anything useful).want to see if Panther can track the manager first, as it would play out better if the call is after you have left to somewhere already
Don't have a bike, can't leave the girls behind, eh?Why not? you should have enough nuyen to have bought a bike if you want one and the girls will be ok in a seedy motel like this, even though there will be interesting questions asked :D
Don't worry, Ahuechei will take real good care of the girls ;)
Enough nuyen? Rafa's in debt!
Besides, even with a bike, he could hardly leave those poor defenseless girls behind!
I'd assume the laser system to be one-way, just sending the footage somewhere.
Xylvador is. Correct, this is a one way trip, also you count at least 16 cameras pre room, using modern editing software you can put together a usable footage. Your trace on the footage gives no results, most likely the node on the other end has no matrix connection.I'd assume the laser system to be one-way, just sending the footage somewhere.
There has to be limited two-way communication if you want to control the cameras. And if it's one-way, I can still follow it to a location and trace another path through the matrix to that same location. In VR I'm like a mage on the astral. I can go wherever I want and come back via another way.
That club in the address list. Is it per chance the same club as the akidz location?
We know where the building owner is, or just have his address... also, it's about 4:30 at night now.
Majority seems to want to go for Steve Schultz, do we wake him at night? Break in? What if he's not at home but is alarmed by us showing up there?
Wasn't this a really, really sleazy hotel?it was, but the owner lives in the best of places in LA, right next to all that important lot. he is a rich man after all.

*blush* will have to check chummer when I get home, but looks like I completely forgot to buy Hardware for Rafa...
is this home, in range of the laser redirector area?no, but the location is the same as the traced comcode
I'll edit the post anyway.
@faro the search will have a interval of 1 hour, so I will post it acording to IC timeline.
About P2, what information you are looking at exactly? Taking Facebook as example.
he is not active in these kind of things, but taking a look on his friends, you see many names you know, or rather have heard of, Big Ben and Pandora just as a example. Bacchus is there too.@faro the search will have a interval of 1 hour, so I will post it acording to IC timeline.
About P2, what information you are looking at exactly? Taking Facebook as example.
Just his profile, and everything I can access on that (like blogs, me-feeds, things like that). I'm not sure how much is private and how much is public. I can't compare with facebook, as I don't do facebook. :o ???
...Wife had a car accident,...
Sorry if I was a bit less involved, will probably be a less active for the next couple of days too. Wife had a car accident, she should heal fine (the car's total loss though :( ) but for the moment taking care of her and the kids and busy-busy-december-work take a lot of my time/energy.Sorry to hear that. Take all the time you need. Family always come first, so do not worry. :)
Will try to check in and roll/act when neccesary but I'll be a it less pro-active and in-your-face than usual.

@sent: The chip is not linked to the current issue with those A-kidz (at least not directly), so the decrypt can run in the background while I do other stuff. It won't interfere, as it can run on my secondary commlink.
@Kour: if I can run the decrypt with only the program, I'll do that. The dicepool is the same (the program is rating 6 but was capped due to the agent rating), so we can keep the above rolls. Then I can put my agent in search of the A-Kidz. I'll do the necessary updates tonight at home.
datasearch 4 + browse 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5) =3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3816690/)
Sorry, forgot :)
Wait... musta missed something, what's club derma?the club Owned by Schultz in the are the repeater is pointing at, as far as i understood from Sent's IC he wants to go there :D
sounds like a plan to me. I'd rather not go to Schultz' house at the moment as long as there are other targets with less security available.Less Security in deed.
I wanted to go to The club. Edited to home. Ill edit back ;)At first you had one location and person, now it's hard to decide what to do :D
I must say I'm surprised by LA. Normally the average node is rating 3 and I haven't seen any below 5 (except some of my fellow runners). I can understand it's like that for the nodes that run the P2 software (you'd rather not have people mess with that), but that a club node has a firewall like a basic military system. Makes my job a bit harder I must say. :(Freya's contact mentioned that he is a security nut-job. :D
Makes me wonder who exactly we're trying to piss off. :)
No, I've made my own (it's a bit different and making it has improved my understanding of matrix actions as well). It's posted somewhere here as well, but I don't know where exactly anymore.I see someone wants a bit higher P2 rating :D
As soon as we have a couple of days I think my character is going to go looking for some footage. :)
I dont think we need any more preparation.good, then we are all set to go there and of course you can stop at a stuffershack.
Wow! Rafa drives like a pro! Driving 1 + Rea 6 + Handling 1 (8d6.hits(5)=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3822057/)
Ah.you can make some mad driving with it though.
Well.
Kay then.
Let my good roll go to waste.
See if I care.
*sob*
Soooo.....2nd this initiative
*nudge Dragonfly*
Yay! A post! Happy new year!free to act, all the info from inside the club you already got, now you do as you please :)
Like I said earlier: Rafa wants to check out the roof for IR-equipment and (hopefully) find out where they lead to. He's got chameleon clothing, infiltration skillz and can climb walls easier than most people walk.
We free to act or first waiting for Ahuechei to act (or wait)?
If act: tell me what's possible and what rolls you need.
Yeah, but I'm talking outside: climbing to the roof, checking for transmiters/receivers and seeing if Rafa can find out (or at last narrow down) where we need to be.
Climbing, Active Perception, Infiltration (18d6.hits(5)=9, 14d6.hits(5)=7, 13d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3847444/)
Ick, that infiltration roll is nasty. 5 ones! Anyhow, at night, with camo stuff and in a shitty neighborhood, yeah... there ya go...
Kay then.
Kour, they walking close enough together for Rafa to attack 'em at the same time with split dicepool?
If so: he'll try to sneak up behind them and attack 'em both at the same time. Not including "charge" bonus since I'm trying to be sneaky. If I can charge while sneaking, should be two extra dice on both attacks.
Infiltration, 2 x Melee + Agi 16. Split to 8, +1 knockdown (martial arts). DV = 7S+Nethits vs Impact (12d6.hits(5)=4, 9d6.hits(5)=2, 9d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3853304/)
Hoping for surprise so they can't defend. If both attacks hit: taking a follow-up attack, sacrificing Rafa's next action:
Split melee attack 16/2 = 8 + 3 opponent prone (11d6.hits(5)=3, 11d6.hits(5)=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3853307/)

perception of the guards (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3862536/) = 1 and 2
You are able to sneak up on then halfway to the door downstairs, so you roll surprise, Pending your surprise roll the guards are yours to narrate :)
They defend but not full defense, not yet.
Guard surprise (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3862420/) = 13 and 16
Guard dodge if not suprised (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3862460/) = 4 and 7
Soak when needed (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3862466/) = 2 for both
I'm not really certain they can defend...
"During the first Initiative Pass, however, characters are considered surprised by any other characters who scored more hits than they did on the surprise Initiative Test. A character who is surprised may not directly act toward or react to characters who have surprised him. <snip> Only counts in the first Initiative Pass <snip>"
Since both of Rafa's attacks are done in the same pass (made possible thanks to the follow-up attack maneuver)...
Your call.
Sure hope he's down. If not, I think it's his move, Rafa sacced his action to make the second attack.
Kinda glad those guys are down though... 6 Rea + 7 Skill? Wow, Rafa really underestimated these guys... I'm guessing that since they went down before they could react, Rafa has no clue as to how good these guys are?
PS: I'm home with the flu, so my response rate might not be what it normally is. :(It`ll be higher? ;)
I am sorry that it took so long for the post.
Will do my best to gain some speed,but i can not promise a fast paced PbP as it used to be. :(
Wish you well Farothel, may the Cure fairy visit your home and bring you back to good health.
Also
you all are up. :)
Kour, I little confused I am :D
You said that watcher found dog (singular), yet you marked two on the map (though this is consistent with what the guards were saying).
Under the backstage means that the area around the T-like things is a backstage.
Does it mean there is a cellar or that the stage is like one meter tall and there is something below.
also where are we (where's the bar) and how the rooms to the east (near the main entrance) are accessed?
and how many other people are around - is it crowdy, or there are just we and the guards?
also where is the staris/entrance to the second floor/roof (apart the one Rafa used - I am not good at climbing)
That's what I was going for, really.
Use Edit to create a soundbyte and Spoof to make it look like it belongs on the channel.
I just hate months of RL planning :PKinda remember that.
looks like i have to give Dragonfly and Caramel a push :Dtalked to Caramel yesterday, she promised to post something when she catches up, Dragon the same, but we can push forward if you like?

edit: Sorry to come across like a dick... I really don't mean to. I'm just kind of sad seeing these games dying all the time.
Ougoun I need your services. Above, at the end of the corridor are four guards. One closer, two patrolling it and one at the farther end. When the two patrolling guards turn adn start moving toward the closer guard poses the one that is standing there, signal when you do and drop the two guards simultaneusly using non-lethal attacks.Quote from: oocThe plan goes as follows:
Spirit (Force 4, 5 services, concealment additional power) possess the guard, using his enhanced stats and splitting dicepools. as soon as the spirit let me know he possessed the guard I'll signal Rafa.
The guard by the doors should observe the situation, but before he'll be able to react he'll be downed by Rafa (he should be distracted makign it even easier for him to be sneaked upon).
the above will cost me two services (one to possess the guard and one to disable them), the guard will get stat boost because of possession.
as previously on unsuccessful attempt I'd like him to retry
we'll see afterwards, it will take at least a minute probably before the guards be in position, giving time to Panther for making additional hacking is possible.
If the possession fails or the spirit is banished, the critter may not attempt to possess that vessel again until the sun next risesif you fail on the first guard, witch i doubt you need only 2 hits, you can attempt to posses the other.
or sets.
Initiative (10d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3928442/)yes the same place, but it's like fire stairs.
Rafa's at 14 IP.
Since we're all aware of this going down and the guards don't, do we get the +6 bonus for surprise?
Rafa'll try to sneak down the stairs so he can jump the guards at the same time as the spirit... Where would the roof access stair be on the map? Same place as the stairs between ground and first floor?
Anything for me on putting the cameras to blank before they start making noise?it will be done as soon as the combat breaks lose upstairs.
yeah, I know, but this is the guardian spirit - it has it's own unarmed combatWe can start combat, Panthers INI pending, but 1st floor will nor battle for a while so Faro can get in at a later moment if needed.
Man, I need sleep. :( Kids are so fun... but a little bit less fun in the middle of the night.
Just so my tired mind gets this right: the spirit will possess the most northern guard when the two patrolling guards turn their backs to him, and will attack them, right?
That'd leave the guard closest to the stairs for Rafa. (at least, on this floor, that we know of)... The door from stairs to hallway, is it closed? (So would Rafa's surprise start when he opens the door to shoot the guard, or can they engage the moment he drops down?)
Above, at the end of the corridor are four guards. One closer, two patrolling it and one at the farther end. When the two patrolling guards turn adn start moving toward the closer guard poses the one that is standing there, signal when you do and drop the two guards simultaneusly using non-lethal attacks.Which I understood as: the two patrolling guards walk through the corridor. Once they turn southwards, the spirit will possess the one in the north (so behind their backs & out of their view) and engage them from behind.
Addendum: Of course, you're controlling the spirit. If it is confused about its orders, who knows what it'll do.his orders were to posses the guard and report to caretaker, that has happened, now he is waiting for new orders.
two things.Are you sure? You are not sitting in a stripclub downtown LA drinking iced tequila? Must be a mistake on my part.
1. Sent isn't anywhere close to that club. Caretaker is.
2. I have no answer for one of the previous questions, thouhg it might have been I didn't ask it. How many people are down there?
I love playing Rafa :DCould you roll InI +6 for surprise
Rolls after 1:00 my time, still traveling. :(
The guard has his agility and strength bumped by 4 - so he has 4 agility and 4 strength base of each (it can use passive cyberware - such as bone lacing)?
1)That's above average certainly, just wanted to make sure of that.
2)also, the spirit could probably charged both of the guards (if they moved the 2 meters away before he finished possession) using the impet to increase the damage or use called shot for damage to increase the damage on of the guard.
3)also kevlar bone lacing gives +1 not +2 on damage resistance rolls (not that it change anything on number of hits)
Damned... these guys are seriously tough!Sorry i have forgotten to ask you a perception on searching the guards on the roof.
Sent, you think the spirit's got those two or does he need Rafa to help out? If he ain't needed, I'm gonna try to set up an ambush for the reinforcements.
If it's something he could find going through their pockets and patting them down, he might have a chance to notice... he didn't stip them down and do a full cavity search.you can fix it, just roll 3 more :)
Base perception (8d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3938118/) [1,1,4,1,3,6,1,2] = (1) makes it a glitch. I didn't add the 3 dice for actively looking or 3 dice for visual perception though. They might fix it...
Your call, it's all good for me.
Invisible Castle's been so good to me for a long time, I guess I had all these lousy rolls coming.
2) If he had charged he would have lost the surprise. if you want to take over the spirit control, you can, i just thought AalithHUH, or how it was unable to separate the characters so i took it as GM's responsibility, in you i have trust to separate the characters enough. :)
Damned... these guys are seriously tough!

are you doing something in this IP or should i skip to the Second and you delay your action?
Guards upstairs call for backup. Rafa runs back out the corridor, glues the door shut and crawls up the roof ladder. Guards + dogs get stopped at the stuck door, Rafa drops gas 'nade on the packed little bunch of guards+dogs. We clean up what's left.Does Ahuechei have a gasmask? *grin*
Hi there! I am sorry my absence has been this long. I've been totally swallowed by all things related to buying an apartment, getting a bank loan, and organizong repair works... I know it doesn't really serve an excuse.You have until tonight to post INI and your first turn actions, then tonight we are moving on with or without your first action.
I am willing to continue, if you will have me.
Say guys, it's been a while and I'm a bit confused. :-[ Who are we trying to find/kidnap/kill in this club?after the two guards spoke about how the clubowner and bacchus are planing having Dae here in approximately 12 hours, sent called for a all out attack. It's blurry in IC as well.
Weren't we here 'cuz this is where the blackmail-footage got sent?
(Which reminds me, did you answer me when I asked whether Rafa saw IR receivers on the roof...)
Unless he's got it on a memory card labeled "Daee's Porn-Trid Blackmail Material" -which is a bit unlikely, not to mention awefully stupid- Rafa's probably gonna need someone (Panther) to dig through computer stuff or something.
I'm guessing we need to clean up the place, which is why the gas-grenade ambush would be great.
Q: Do flashbang grenades have a chunky salsa effect or no?
how?
was anybody at all looking at me in the dark bar full of naked girls, with guards busy with their commlinks?
Noticing if someone is using a magical skill requires a Perception Test (p. 135) with athis means that i roll perception -2 for distracted and my threshold is (1) to notice you casting a spell.
threshold equal to 6 minus the magic’s Force. More powerful magic is easier to spot with
the gathered mana normally appearing as a disturbance or glowing aura in the air around the
caster. The gamemaster should apply additional modifiers as appropriate, or if the perceiver
is Awakened themselves (+2 dice), astrally perceiving (+2 dice), or if a shamanic mask is
evident (+2 dice).
Yikes ... I knew those fluff stories would kill me someday.
Force 1 spell would just as effective, since there is no counterpelling around, there was no need for higher magic.
I was going under impression that unless you take some kind of geas to have to shout your spelling it is not noticable ...
edited, thanks.
that's what I got for having almost no mages in my games and a year break in rules.
A spell’s Force limits the number of hits (not net hits) that can be
achieved on the Spellcasting Test. So if you cast a Force 3 spell and get
5 hits, only 3 of those hits count. In other words, Force has a limiting
effect on spells—the more oomph you put into the spell, the better
you can succeed with it. This limitation does not apply to Edge dice
that are used to boost a spell.
And, uhm, Kour, you gonna move... or you still waiting on Dragonfly?yep i would like for her to post, but i will update tomorrow anyway it plays out as the ppl downstairs are not really yet in CT
Posted Rafa's 3rd IP action a week ago...Sorry missed it :-[
Wounded guard needs to defend against 5 hits melee. Posted init for next CT too.
I've reposted my first action.yeah i know :) sorry you were still green, my fault.
Enjoy your combat. I'll be back in two weeks. 8)
Kour,
I'm trying to understand.
1. I rolled multiple hits on spellcasting test, yet because the Force of the spell was 1, I was allowed to take only 1 hit.
2. guard roll their resistance with willpower, you say none of them withstood, but there is at least one guard that have rolled 2.
3. does it mean that the the strenght of the spell can be no greater then 1 net hit (had it been physical spell or something in the description related to the net hits) or you made a mistake, and those that rolled at least one hit, have saved against the spell.
4. there were two critical glitches among those rolls
5. guard can spend 1 complex action per combat turn trying to shake the spell, do they have to roll 1 hit or is it cumulative? why cumulative if so?
Kour, I think you made a mistake:true, i fucked up, if the hits are limited the net hits are limited too. :( my mistake
It's an aimed area spell though, no? So if caretaker aims it at some gangers drinking at the bar, the guards aren't in the radius.
Also, F1 means limits it to 1 hit maximum, regardless of spellcasting test; so anyone scoring a single hit resists the spell... (which is why I'd have gone for F2, personally)
@Faro
i think she meant the the perception
by the way excellent roll Dragonfly
@Faro
i think she meant the the perception

I've modified my post.
BTW: anything on the commtraffic of the gangers?
Also Faro your ini for this round would come in handy :)
sorry it took so ling but now the IC is up
Caretaker is up and panther has still her simple action left.
they are not saying much as half of them are under a spell some are streaming the footage some have been knocked down by their matessorry it took so ling but now the IC is up
Caretaker is up and panther has still her simple action left.
Before I decide what to do, what's the result of my perception test and do I get any comm traffic?
Also, I'm still monitoring the guard's frequency. What are they saying?
So if I'm still on the guards' net, what do I have to roll to put a feedback loop on that thing (you know, the beeping tone you sometimes get when someone is talking into a microphone and standing in front of the sound system).hacking and edit roll :)
Sooo..... Caretaker's up, right?and a dodge from you :P
He's charging from one end of the hallway to the other end in a single IP? Can't see the map now, but ain't that kinda fast?yep that all is coming up,i think he can make the 20 m in one IP running running. Do you mean a attack of opportunity? Like in Pathfinder? I am not sure there is one if there is please point me to a reference as on a quick look i did not see one, will check it back home once more though. and if there is Oughoun will defiantly get one free attack.
Also, afaik, if he's breaking away from melee with Ougoun , it gets a free attack, if it hits, the guard can't get away.
Interception
If movement takes a character within one meter of an opponent, and the character attempts to pass by without attacking the opponent, that opponent can spend a Free Action to take a free melee attack. This rule also applies to characters who are attempting to move out of melee combat. If the opponent has a weapon ready, he uses his normal melee weapon skill rating; otherwise, he uses Unarmed Combat skill. This attack follows all of the normal rules for melee combat (see p. 156). If the character attempting to pass takes damage, he is intercepted and cannot continue his movement.
true so he will attack as the last one, as he has 2 IP's but still has all his actions leftQuote from: SR4A pg161Interception

And I'm certain he can do the 20m in one CT... but in one IP for Rafa?
Normal movement rate for normal humans while walking = 10m/CT, running 25m/CT.
Now if the guy's got one 1IP/CT, he can make it in one IP... for him. Assuming the speed of 25m/CT and 4IPs, the guard runs at 6.25m/IP. He should reach Rafa by IP4. By that time, Rafa's had 2 more IP's.
yeah, it's me. I'll get to it asap (which doesn't tell when unfortunatelly, but soon)No need to apologise, it's me too,
sorry about the delay.
As the group starts to move downstairs the fight keep on getting more out of hand as only 2 guards are not enough to get the crowd under control. then you hear a loud roar from the backstage direction and some customers start to scream as Over-sized muscle packed Doberman with Black fur appear on stage.
Less then 30 sec after the Loop was started by Panther it is disabled, there is no doubt that there is some spider in the node of the club. the
Gangers are still too busy kicking each other in the gut to call up Bacchus.
In astral there are still no sign of spirits or astrally projecting mages.Quote from: OOCWhat do you do?
Do I get any bonusses for having a beat-up hostage with a hunting pressed to his face?as much as disadvantage as there is a massive bar-fight and most attention is on two oversize Doberman. just roll the leadership skill with no bonuses, first impression would work though.
Well, that's why I posted about the time thing, hoping this'd be before the dobermans...the dobermans came out in the same CT as you shot the guard, so they mad the presence one CT before you if we were in combat, sorry to say so.
wouldn't Rafa have to roll intimidation instead of leadership? Holding a gun against someone's head? 8)
for me interesting is how you go about searching the room that was not seen my UWB? you will have to search for a door for it :)
is it first on the list? or do you search private stages first? also there is the Office.
Rafa actually wanted to prevent any security people from leaving. When the smoke pops, he activates his chameleon coating, waits for the gas to take effect, then drops his hostage and shoots/beats down any security staff.ok, do you have a way to down them in a crowd of escaping people?
What skill?
And 4 hits? That's quite a lot for hitting defenseless people! They have 18 dice ranged defense?
What am I rolling, what's this mean, what are you trying to accomplish? I honestly don't get it.
Would it be easier if I just toss a flashbang towards the exit and do some more stun damage and drop the entire room instead?
How and what are the dogs doing, by the way?
My view is that 2 seconds is the amount of time most people will simply stand perplexed at what's happening. And then the suffocating begins...
Yet here, with no visibility whatsoever and stumbling over collapsed or into panicked people the whole establishment is evacuated in 2 seconds?
That's just what I have trouble believing.
But you're the GM... If you say they did fire drills with full smoke effects and audience every day and the whole being gassed and causing chaos thing doesn't slow them down... Okay then.
4 shots normally take Rafa 2 seconds.
Okay, I can get that you say "well, there's a lot of chaos, so taking aim on those shots takes a bit longer". But then that should be taken into account, no? Then those shots are carefully aimed shots instead of snapshots, no?
Anyhow:
8 Agi, 4 Skill, +2 smartgun, -2 visibility (12d6.hits(5)=4, 12d6.hits(5)=5, 12d6.hits(5)=3, 12d6.hits(5)=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4048065/)
Though to be clear, Rafa's original "plan" was based on simple RAW, where he'd be shooting 12 dice and the guards would be at 0 dice defense...
Since this is different now, if there's a way Rafa sees an opportunity to stop them with more reliability, like standing near the exit and just hitting on the head of every guard-looking guy trying to squeeze past, that seems easier. Heck, he'd get those attacks as free actions.
Sorry, I think you're mistaken for the time thing:
1 CT is 3 seconds.
Rafa gets 3 IP's per CT.
Per IP you can fire 2 shots (simple actions) at Semi-Auto.
So that's 6 rounds in 3 seconds, or 2 per second.
How I see it/what I thought happened:
Rafa watches the team moving. When they were a few seconds from reaching the stairs, he starts the countdown on the grenades.
Team reaches stairs and are out of smoke/gas range, grenades go *poof* in the middle of the club, catching all guards with their pants down and Rafa standing smack in the middle, armed and ready to take 'em down while their crippled.
How are the dogs doing?
If I have to roll something, let me know.perception with Actively looking.
So, what's the situation downstairs?
If I have to roll something, let me know.perception with Actively looking.
to find a way to open the door.
You find that the doors are on a central axes and that one of the pictures act like a switch to release the doors for movement.If I have to roll something, let me know.perception with Actively looking.

intuition 4 + perception 3 + activily looking 3 + vision enhancement 2 =12 (12d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4057054/)
Question before I reply IC: is the equipment portable? With this I mean: can I take it with me and have a quiet look later, where there's likely to be less disturbances?

Short - You would strongly doubt that the device is like 3m*4m*2m - huge
Long - it would take as long to separate every cable from it and get the big thing down to stairs as to drive from one side of town to the other, not really feasible, other then that this seems to be from 2025 or something like that.
I have to make a apology.
I have not been active over the last year. The activity I have maintained can not really called activity. Last few month I basically was just able to post on weekends. That's not active enough in my book. I have reached a decision that either I have to step up to the plate and post every evening, or stop putting players trough this slow game. Until July I will my best to make at least a post pre day. Starting today with a IC post as soon I reach a pc.
@Faro
Roll INI + 3 for surprise test
The value to beat is 11, if you do not beat that, make a blade -1 attack roll or default on exotic melee weapons.
The man is aware of you and, in a way, is expecting you to make a move.
Data chips are common items. Just like usb flash drives at the moment. You will be able to have a look at them everywhere you want. Comlinks have readers for them as well. So you do not have to stick around viewing the contents. And just hope there is a chip with the footage in the bunch you collected.

initiative 8 +3 =11 (11d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4099887/)
I'm not sure what you meant with the INI. If it's a regular initiative test, I make it (as that's 8 + your hits, which is 11). If I have to get 11 hits, I don't get it.
Kour, Rafa will search the bodies but only take things that are actually valuable and seem worth the bother of erasing tags, wiping traces, tracking down a buyer and selling it without getting involved in anything that might've been done with it.copy that, will prepare a list,
So basically, from what I read, that's just the credsticks and maybe the comms if Panther's got a use for 'em.
Weapons that've been used for god-knows-what or belonged to security forces (unless they're incredibly rare and expensive), fter losing percentages for being second-hand, of questionable origin, potential used in crimes or on record with law enforcement... doesn't seem worth the trouble.
Kouryuu: I don't remember, but there were cameras in the main room, right?there are cameras, but as the man said, the old server has limited recording capabilities - namly it can only record footage on chips, and you are taking them all, right?
If so, I'll quickly check (if there's the time) to see if they run into that old server and if so, I'll wreck it so they can't get the footage.
Oh, right. Vacation.
Mine's from August 1 'til 15. Don't expect much -if any- activity from me that time.
Passive Visual Perception (11d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4125408/)the building looks safe. You notice some youth, possibly in gang colors. A jump down there would make enough noise to notice.
Visual perception. Add zero (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4125411/) hits for actively looking, Rafa was looking to see if the way was safe or no. I just miss rolling dice ;)
Jumping (14d6.hits(5)=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4125414/)
Street (or alley) down below quiet?
If so, I say we head down and get away.
edge 2 + edge 2 =4 (4d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4157622/)No need for that, this is more like allowing you to see what happens on the roof :) see IC
it's a glitch though, but I'll spend an edge point to remove the glitch, as I don't have gymnastics either.

please roll Agility only instead of Gymnastics if you do not have it or Dodge at a -3 disatwantage, witch ever is higher
Panther, the chip needs some adjustments to be read by modern readers, nothing too difficult, just one hit on a hardware check and you can buy the hit anyway.
LeroyHudson made me laugh :)
And remonded me that this game begun in January 2012 - bit of a time ...
Perception everybody! I need to know how well you can see the other group in a partly lit crossing.
Passive Visual Perception (11d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4186541/) got thermal, low-light, ultrasound and magnification should any apply.
@Kour: I've done some matrix perception tests in the IC to get informaton about the drones. :)
my first round action (simple action/drone, and I have 2 IP, so 4 simple actions): matrix perception on the four drones.
computer 4 + analyse 6 - 2 wound =8 (8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=5, 8d6.hits(5)=0, 8d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4184892/)
For all I want in order (depending on the hits I have I will get more or less information):
-access ID of person controlling them
-firewall rating
-analyse program rating
-current software running
@Kour: If I need to roll for negotiation or something, let me know.
I have done my perception roll. It's right under your post asking for one. But I had 0 hits (luckily no glitch).actually needed a new one, but you would have a -4 for being in the car anyway, so i think it's not a big chance you could beat Ahuechei :(
BTW: I'm still in the car, so I should be partially protected. And I'm not going to do anything before they act, but then I have a couple of things up my sleeve.
Defense should be successful (The troll should have 2 extra dice for reach, I think, but even with those Rafa's defense scores at least an equal amount of hits). Agility 7 + Blade 4 + charging 2 + martial arts knockdown 1 + reach 2Was late and i really did not want to onshot Rafa, took off too much dice from the roll, wont hold back anymore though. :P+ Extra speed on the charge bonus 1(optional - reserved for player characters)
Throw is an opposed test, Troll rolls Str + Unarmed vs Rafa's 7 hits. He's thrown a number of meters equal to net hits and takes stun damage accordingly.
Since I don't know the result, I'll let you fluff.
Str 13 + unarmed 4 (17d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4200679/)
You gonna be recruiting? Unless I'm mistaken, we're just 2 fighters and a hacker now. Not much of a runner team.not sure, need to find a lot of reason why some one will tag along back to seattle, when your job in LA ends.
Sorry for the Deus EX interlude - As Dragonfly so beautifully called it ::)
Back on track with it,
Sent if you read this, i hope you do not mind me not killing CareTaker, as i love Com-backs, even if only as NPC's and the team have some more Fun.
Also any time you decide to join up again, you are welcome. the same for Caramell, if she is still around.
Any questions is ok, as i know this all has been confusing not only for your characters. :-[
All work and no games make Kouryuu go something something somethingWe had a Tender for 60k for today, had to work on it every free moment, 4 hours ago i submitted it, so now i have more free time, at least i will as soon as i finisch all other tasks that have been pilling up in the meantime. :-\
Can we still do something when those drones start-up? I have the ID of one, so I can use spoof command to make it stop. And I can use my own drone to attack one of theirs (that's what it's for actually).sure, roll and post. Should be able to respond today.
to own them afterwards, duh. ;)if you can get them, i remember a cursing Ork last time you tried something similar :D
