which hand is the knife in, i assume it'd have to be the arm three star has his hand on te shoulder off, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to turn to use the other hand to do it because of the pressure on his shoulder?

Yeah, but stop and consider this for a second:  Diego dislocates his shoulder or something, Jimmy's got to go to a street doc.  But before you can do that, that knife is going somewhere Diego really doesn't want it.

And Richter pulls the trigger. He's still sitting down so he could fire before you reach him most likely.

Of course, if you wanted to roll-up a new character...

I'm just getting the scene straight in my head, i dont plan to fight

Vindictive Composure for Jimmy, Jimmy again, then Marduk (7d6.hits(5)=3, 7d6.hits(5)=1, 7d6.hits(5)=4)

son. of. a. bitch.
the second one was for the knife and he glitched. looks like Diego plans to fight even if i dont.

[RHat]

Yeah, I figured not - being this screwed could probably be taken as an opportunity for him to learn that he seriously screwed up.

[Chrona]

despite the rolls ill hold out on making this an all out brawl right at the start

also you wouldnt be cutting off any nadgers if he won the initiative, just saying.

anyway combat avoided, Diego has unfortunately not learnt his lesson, and never will based on my inspiration for him in the first place. He's only learnt to be less overt next time.

He still succeeded in his original plan, and the reason he called KE, of identifying the strongest links in the team, which are Jimmy and Marduk.

Edge to go first.

i can do that too and then we're back to rolls

Meanwhile, I'd already turned my Wired Reflexes, so I'd have had the edge on Initiative in theory. 

Still, generally not productive to start running that sort of comparison.

[umraefein]

Yeah... when things start going that pear shaped, its fairly likely everyone is going to either die, get arrested, or have to go so far underground the game would pretty much end.

[Chrona]

at least we're only talking about it.

Though with 75% of the team actively saying out loud that they'll gang up on him if he does anything again im not sure it'd make any remote sense for him to be on the team anymore anyway. Also with the fixer ratting on him to the rest of the team when I'm the only person to have established being a regular to the bar. =/

Basically, retro, if I had him turn down the job now, would you have a way of dealing with it that wouldn't involve forcing him to have to do it. Because with the KE thing out in the open, there's no point even feigning trust from here on, which would make the team never rely on Diego in any planning and relegate him to second string combat only because of marduks presence

[umraefein]

Well, for the question of what happens, it's simple. Diego leaves, and a new guy comes in...

[Chrona]

Well, for the question of what happens, it's simple. Diego leaves, and a new guy comes in...

So you want me to leave the game?

[RHat]

I think he was trying to suggest that, should you not want to have Diego stay involved due to it not making sense, you could make a new character.

[Chrona]

I wouldn't want to hold the game up with that, and it's not that I don't want him to not be involved, it just feels like he won't be involved since the fixers turned the team on him.
Which is why I'm just asking how retro wants to handle it.

[RHat]

Thus far, he's being given a chance.  He screwed up big time, though, which is why he's not getting much for latitude.
