Though you duck and weave to avoid the attack, it manages to slam across your chest, flash freezing your clothing and the air around you.

Yea I fully expected to resist it easily but the dice had different plans :(


The icy blast frosts over Knives' greatcoat, the built in insulation doing nothing to ease the blast, and his body is wracked with shivers.  He sheaths his mundane blade and calls the taser to his awaiting hand.  Through the shivers he takes a shot at the icy foe.


Simple Action 1: Sheath fineblade
Free Action: Draw Taser
Simple Action 2: Fire
Pistols 1 + Agility 6 + Smartlink 2 - DM 2 = 7d6
7d6.hits(5)=1
 :'(  Wow...  whatever I did to offend the dice gods I must go repent.

___Knives___
Seeing your retaliation, the spirit tipped a wing and veered out of the path of the taser dart, circling around ready for another pass.
The shivering does nothing to help your aim, and the dart misses its mark, albeit narrowly.
rea 6 (6d6.hits(5)=2)
jesus, its just not your day is it??

Dodge
REA 2(3)

Damage Resistance if needed
Body 4 + 1/2 Impact armor 5 = 9
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4277457/ 1 hit oh great.

Damage Resistance



Mantis spend a free action to inform his Man spirit helper Make sure you send a major Stun Bolt at that elemental (ie Force 5 drain is so easy to resist) As he says his telepathic message to the Man Spirit he gathers Mana to send at the Elemental that has helped to ruin the run.


Force 5 StunBolt (Over Cast)
Drain 1P

Casting
Spellcasting (Combat) 5 (7) + Magic 3 = 10
 (if I lost a dice from damage via the elementals attack minus from end as usually.)
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4277471/ 3 hits

Drain
Will 5 + logic (psyche) 5(7) (8) + daredrenaline 1 = 14d6

The bolt of mana hurtles through the air, striking the circling elemental with ferocious force.
You feel the resistance of its form fight back against the manifestation of your will, but it isn't enough, the spell punches through it's magical resistance.
resistance = 2d6.hits(5)=2 you get 1 net hit.
It takes 6 stun damage, it has 2 remaining

Its shimmering form fades and shudders under your attack, its connection to the material world fading.

___Dunk____
The boat ducks and weaves, avoiding an outgoing slow barge.
It skips and bounces across it's wake, throwing you off balance.
Both, BOD + STR or BOD + GYMNASTICS please

__Spirits___
I will not *overcast* as you say, I will not harm myself unnecessarily  for your needs. I will give you my best shot however.
force 3, spellcasting 3, edge 3 (9d6.hitsopen(5,6)=5) 5 hits!
The air spirit has no resistance dice due to wound mods and is shattered

The Silvery bolt of mana lights up the sky as it hurtles towards the glowing blue elemental, already railing at the command of its summoner. The bolt impacts squarely into its ethereal torso and rends it apart with a flash of light.
It feels warmer immediately as it is disrupted, the chill in the air returning to the usual Thames-side autumnal breeze.

___Lumen___
The day's abuse on your system was beginning to show, you felt fatigued, knackered. The engines roar momentarily as the props clear the water line, before the hull smashes back down into the Thames, jerking your mass forwards and sideways at the same time.
The large wake and Dunk's high speed manoeuvres were too much for your tired and frozen muscles to keep up with. One second you saw the the sky, the next you saw the deck.
Something smacks you in the head, dazed, everything goes black....

____Scawire___
The stresses of the day left you drained, you felt like you were running on empty.
Seeing the demise of the air spirit lifted your spirits, but the sudden impact of the hull on the wake threw you up and backwards, your back impacting hard onto the sidewall of the hull

If it weren't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all lol.

Body 5 + Half Impact 5 = 10d6
10d6.hits(5)=5
See all I needed was a smartass comment to turn my luck around!

___Lumen____
The blackness lasts for a milisecond before the impact brings stars to your eyes. You find yourself squinting up at the sky, the bright lights of the East London motorway crossing hurting your eyes, and the sound of the 6lane motorway above you assaulting your ears.
Clearing the bridge at speed, you haul yourself to your knees. Shaking off the stars in your vision, you see Mantis in similar difficulties, precariously leaning backwards over the railings, white water kicking up off the hull behind him as if to highlight the danger he was in.
