Thanks.  It feels to me through role play, that Bex and Mams are reasonably close given they actually meet in the meat.  Should I switch her in for my Smith contact and lower the connection and raise the loyalty?  Not close like he'd like to be with Amber, but nearly as friendly as he is with Ralphy.

* Zweiblumen likes the story and is happy to make the crunch fit.
yeah, that sounds sensible to me!

Just as a heads up, I'll have slightly reduced net access next week but I'll still do my best to post.

no worries mate, been doing a few late shifts myself and looking after the little one in the morning.
If you want to roll me x4 sensor checks and x2 pilot checks (total mods of -4 for bad weather) i can bring your story up to speed mate

@Zwei, i think its probably safe to say you're in downtime now mate, wrap up anything you need to with ralphy this week as i'd like to start the full-team run next week if possible.
You've got 6 karma to spend mate as your roleplaying has been superb.

@Cs: Thanks!  Great game :)  Gonna bank that 6 karma.  He needs to submerge again to get skinlink (you'd implied he'd need it for this run, so he might be up a river).
Mams will be happy to work on whatever Ralphy needs for his kit.  It'll give him something to keep his mind of his mum.

Initiative: 11+3d6. Initiative: 3d6 12 Total of 22.

If I understand 5th Ed correctly I get another pass at 3 right?  (My initiative is actually 23, I didn't math right.)  So my first attack on this guy happens on the third pass of the first turn.  Just want to make sure I keep up properly to track when the drain is gonna hit for those boosts.

@lumen, yep, you go, subtract 10 and keep going until everyone has spent it all.

@team. you're off out into the wilderness after this so think up a shopping list for your characters to help deal with the biting cold of the northern winter.
Also, if you've got some skill points spare, a pip in survival might not go amiss.

@CS I've lost track of how much ее Taylor has.  If you don't have it saved somewhere I can go back through the posts and try and re-create what he's got and what he's spent.

Also, when is rent due?

Lumen, in sr5 you can't take two attack actions in the same IP without splitting your die pool :(

Damn...  then what's the point of having SA?  I'll edit my post later when I can get to my books.

Well, when your die pool is high enough splitting it is still effective.  The target has to dodge a second attack with the -1, and you have the opportunity to do the base damage (which is more than net hits will be) twice.  Lots and lots of options.
There's also the fact that you can aim and shoot in a single IP, which will increase either you die pool or accuracy and reset your recoil counter.  Even more options!

Fixed my IP post.  Decided to take aim for the first action and kept the first shooting roll.  Sorry for the mix up.

Once we wrap up the time at Ralphy's I'll write up having him train some on survival (using 2 karma) and spend some time working on his sprites.  I'm not looking to min/max every moment free to build up tasks, just spend some time working on them.  Maybe compiling a new one, but probably not.  Two is probably enough for right now.

I'll update his sheet with these changes once I get the rolls done.  Got any limitations you'd like me keep in mind?

Once I'm done with Ralphy gonna spend the next two days working on sprites.  Here's 12 hours of work on Winston:
re-registering Winston twice (Res 6 + Reg 6 + Sepc 2 = 14): 2#14d6t5 3 4
:/ statistically meh
Let's see what he thinks about this:
Winston Resist (Level 6 x2 = 12): 2#12d6t5 1 3
He's fine with it :)  net +3 tasks For him
Fade?
Soaking Fade (Res 6 + Will 5 = 11): 2#11d6t5 3 4
Soaked first one, took 2 on the chin the second time.  Resting for the night (Lemme know if you want 8 rolls to heal 2 boxes of stun)
Here's Victoria's rolls:
re-registering Victoria twice (Res 6 + Reg 6 = 12): 2#12d6t5 6 6
Wow!  I'll take those rolls! :)
Victoria Resist (Level 6 x2 = 12): 2#12d6t5 5 5
And all that for net +2 hits.  This is going to HURT.
Soaking Fade (Res 6 + Will 5 = 11): 2#11d6t5 4 4
So, 6 from the first one (he'll need to rest before trying again) and 6 from the second.  Ouch.  Here's some heal rolls:
Healing Stun damage (Body 2 + Will 5 = 7): 7d6t5 2
Healing Stun damage (Body 2 + Will 5 - Next pass 1 = 6): 6d6t5 4 And there's 6.  That worked well enough.
Then the night before leaving lets see how beat up he is:
Healing Stun damage (Body 2 + Will 5 = 7): 7d6t5 2
Healing Stun damage (Body 2 + Will 5 - Next pass 1 = 6): 6d6t5 4 And that's some REALLY weird parity.

And that's his downtime!  Again, once we're done with Ralphy, I'll write Saturday Sunday and Monday as more of a monologue.
