Waiting my turn to act, but a couple concerns I have.

1) was Scary Spice outside of the confines of the net?

2)how is slobbertooth able to act twice in a pass?

I don't wanna be that guy, but u feel it needs to be said ^^;

Did I go twice? If so I didn't mean to. I think I just went out of order.

Initiative 32: People shoot at Slobbertooth
> Interrupt Action - Full Defense -10 to initiative (28 -> 18)
> Complex action - Break Net [Error: Out of order]

Initiative 18
> Complex Action - Break Net, just reaffirming what was done previously.
> Free action: Movement: In this case in such a way as to break LoS

So Slobbertooths' initiative plummets all the way down to 8.

But maybe I just needed to make sure crown as king of rules mistakes was secure firmly on my head.  :P

No, just a detail missed by me.  Since the initiative loss from full defense is the same as taking ones turn, I misinterpreted.  My mistake, thank you go clarifying.

Yo guys. You saw that right those Foo Dogs can cast spells thanks to the two spirits of man inside them.
This is going to get worse before it gets better. So remember what Information you have on the two mages - especially who has witch specialty (Ying is the woman, Yang the man)

Those two are carrying a lot of buffs at the moment, but they aren't invincible if you target their weaknesses.

@GM
a couple of questions

Was my stunt successful?

Αm I outside their field of vision yet?And outside the range of the spell?

What is the distance between Torrent and the mages?

Can I cover the distance in one round while sneaking? (14m without sprinting)


thanks in advance :P

Yin: Manipulation
Yang: Direct damage

Did I remember that correctly?

Almost: Yin is the crazy, brutal bitch, slinging fire around. Yang is her laid back brother with skills around Manipulation and Health
You might guess who of those two is carrying the main load of their buff spells  ::)

Which incidentally is also the reason for the relatively high defense stats in the matrix: LOG and WIL are rather high with those two.


Regarding resistance roll:

You are actually right. I misremembered Net Bind as an environmental spell (that has no resistance). It's actually just a physical spell. So not only can you use a complex action to break free vs. 2xForce, you are also entitled to a reflexive STR+BOD check vs. the 5 successes of the original spellcasting.
Sorry, that's what I get for posting at work without access to my books.

So everyone who got 5 successes at their check still has their complex action.

Only got a perfectly average four successes, so no luck here. Krestov might end up being okay, though.

Strength plus Body to ignore it completely eh?

Spell check (bod + Str) (5): 17d6t5 7

Their efforts were cute.

I post will go up this afternoon.  But for ooc game purposes, action as detailed: forgoing the weapon use, Krestov will pull attention in the best way a 350kg troll can: charge Yang with a flying side kick.

Unarmed (Kick attack, Reach 2, charge): 14d6t5 8

Will edit in if limit applies, because holy drek. nope, limit 10.  So...damage code 10P + net hits?

*whew* I'm so glad that after so many errors I was right for once :D
I don't want to push my luck too far, but what about the matrix Damage resistance roll? Neither willpower nor logic are relevant for it, it's just device rating + firewall, and since (if I read it correctly) not even a PAN should be of any use for it, (and with 9 boxes in the condition monitor, the device rating can't be higher than 2), it should be 4 dice (instead of 10).

Well... Willpower and Logic probably wouldn't matter unless she had one of those fancy living personas.


Which I fully admit would be weird, and considering I previously said "hopefully the dogs can't cast spells" maybe I should refrain from giving the GM horrible suggestions.

@Sabato

Yeah sorry, I'm a bit disorganized at the moment. To answer your question: It's a F 6 spell so they centered it on your group with a radius of 6 m. you have no problem escaping from there (that's why he cast net beforehand)

@Volker
D'oh, I confused defense test and resistance test. You are quit right that the weapon only resists with its own pool. I'll correct my post.

@squirrel: To be fair, I think it was me that coined the term "how does geek the mage first work when all are mages?".  So if we're gonna blame someone for inspiring Jack, it's me D:

Also, IC up, hope it works well.
