No, don't have much edge to play with

[farothel]

@Farothel: please also roll a vehicle test at the beginning of the chase turn. Your current total modifier is -3.

@Csjarrat: with -3 dice, your chase test scored 4 hits. Please tell me if you want to use Edge.

@all: new turn after my post for the trolls, so please roll initiative. Please wait for my assesment of the situation before posting actions.

vehicle test:
reaction 5 + pilot 1 + bikes 2 + handling 1 - 3 =6 (6d6.hits(5)=2)

initiative:
initiative 9 (9d6.hits(5)=5)
total initiative 14, 2 IP.

[Csjarrat]

Ok so we're not gonna out speed these guys, Leroy is gonna have to shoot them to scare em off. If Joel has any scary magic tricks then nows the time boys and girls!

[farothel]

Shoot at the bikes then.  They will probably have less armour than the trolls.  Unless it's our mage with stunbolts, as that is a troll's weakness.  And we just have to make the leader fall off his bike and hope some of the others fall over him (the sameway you stop a cavalry charge, by shooting the first horse and watch the rest of the group fall over that first horse). 

[Csjarrat]

@GM what range category are we at now?

[MaxKojote]

Reaction (3) + Intuition (5) + Increase Reflexes (1) - Wounds (1) (8d6.hits(5)=2) 8+2 = 10

I'll start busting out the oversized stunbolts again and hope Azzies don't find out.

[Ren]

Will post beginning of round assesment (with ranges and everything) tomorrow.

[Ren]

OK, the situation is the following.

Reference point: the Shin-Hyung (Matt, Joel, Leroy)
Short range: Miko on the bike, then four troll gangers a short distance behind her
Medium range: a single troll biker who almost hit a parking car at one of the turns

Initiative order: Miko @14, Matt @11, Leroy @10, troll @10, Joel @10, trolls @9, 9, 9, 8 (everybody but Leroy has 2 IPs)

Additional information: it is obvious that Matt has superior driving skills, Miko and the gangers are roughly at the same levels. The trolls are currently intent on reaching you. For weapon ranges, they are at medium range (-1 modifier) unless you get closer to them. Also, a little GM advice: if I remember well, Miko has an image link, which allows her to use the AR-enhanced driving mode (+1 die), and also presents some more opportunities, as she is following Matt.

@Farothel: your turn

@Farothel: your turn

Question: what's the modifier I have when I want to shoot a bike's tire?
Question 2: what other opportunities?

[Ren]

Q1: Shooting a tire is a standard called shot (-4 modifier).
Q2: Further opportunities are not written in rulebooks but if you think about it, in the world of continuous connectivity, there are several possibilities to help one another in a situation like this, especially if the one in front helps the one following. We can discuss what i think of later, after we finish the scene, because i'd like you to think about it and come up with your own solution (if you need one).

[Csjarrat]

Had a think about it guys, if shooting at the bastards doesn't help then splitting off and separating might force a decision and make them easier to handle.
Is jade a decent enough driver to survive with half the pack on her?

[farothel]

I think it's best if we go as quickly as possible into the territory of another gang.  If those behind us follow, they will have some explaining to do and the way gangers 'explain' things, it should get them off our backs.

Splitting is an option, but I'd first look at other options.  I will probably get away since I can go where your car can't and if not, I'm a troll just as they are, so that might help as well.

[Csjarrat]

ok, going with the "cut-off" maneuver for my first pass:
rea 7, pilot ground 6, handling 2, rig 2 (17d6.hits(5)=6) 6 hits for the opposed test

[farothel]

I'll do that in my second pass, although I think I'll do something else.  Full break to make them pass me and then go left, or something else depending on what they do.

[Csjarrat]

hey guys, i'll be on holiday in the states between 17-23rd of this month so wont be posting much around then!
enjoying the chase Ren, looking forward to seeing how these bikers react :-)
