If the spirit only gets summoned to the astral space and does not appear on the physical round when I summon him, I will summon him. If you are saying once summoned he has to manifest on the physical then no I will not summon him in the crowd I will do it in a hiding place when I meet up with Knives.

I always thought the spirit shows up in astral with the page 186 (main book) "Spirit-Summoner Link" so the spirit doesn't have to manifest when summoned. That is the way I've always played it, if you want to have the spirit always manifest once summoned that is your call. So yes or no depending on if it has to manifest.

Just as a clarification Knives is still sporting the coveralls he picked up at the EuroMart.

so knives is diagonally opposite the target building in an alley; about 30m away with it on his right.
mantis is at the intersection, building is also about 30-40 metres away on his right, with knives a bit further up from that on his left

so just to make it explicit, Dunk can get another *very* short flight out of the drone if you feel you need it. you will have to go and retrieve it if it goes flat in-flight though :-)

also, if you guys survive till CH4, would you want to port to SR5 or would you rather stick with 4e. I'm easy either way but will leave it up to you two

Is it enough to make the 30 meters to the building then at least take a snap shot?

also, if you guys survive till CH4, would you want to port to SR5 or would you rather stick with 4e. I'm easy either way but will leave it up to you two

I'll have to read up on the changes.  I read it cover to cover when it first came out,  the group I was GMing for decided not to swap, and I haven't looked at it since.  I don't think much will effect Knives except limits...  I'm kinda impartial but you may have to remind me of somethings / be patient with me getting acclimated.   Sadly work has been nuts and it's not likely to calm down for some time...  I'm sure you've both noticed my post count dropping  :P

TLDR: Staying 4th would be easier but I'm not opposed if both of you want to switch.

Yep, it'd be enough for that, you'd get about 1 min of level flight, much less if gaining altitude

as for SR5, i think you'd both be able to rebuild without any major issues in SR5 if you want to. both adepts + mystic adepts work really well under the new rules and have shiny Qi foci for character evelopment options too.
i've got all the splat books so your armour and weapon choices would all be fine.
its entirely up to you two, i'm not going to force you either way but wanted to let you have the choice if you had a preference. if scawire has no preference either way then we'll keep it as-is. 4e is pretty simple to work with ( i actually prefer most of 4e matrix too!)

Qi foci do sound pretty neat...

If Knives can spot Mantis he'll give him a heading to spot him, hopefully without losing too much cover otherwise.  I'm gonna wait till I get the spell(s)/spirit help then sneak up to the side and let the drone scope out the ceiling first.

If or when I get line of sight I will cast the Invisibility spell on to Knives and have the spirit Conceal me and him. That be the plan and this is shadowrun so not sure how well the plan will work.

ok, as knives steps out of the alleyway you have LOS to him.
just as a heads up, it is currently dark, the street is badly lit and there are vision modifiers in play.

@mantis, roll your spellcasting + drain then please
