Devoted casts levitate force 5 on himself (I chose force 5 because Devoted wants to not fall in case the BC increases again, and the drain on Force 5 is the same as Force 4) :
Spelcasting(Manipulation) 6 + Magic 2 = 8 dice, 8d6.hits(5) → [6,6,1,1,6,6,1,5] = 5 hits. wow!
Drain DV = 3P, Willpower 5 + Charisma 4 = 9 dice, 9d6.hits(5) → [5,1,1,3,2,5,6,6,1] = 4 hits.

Drain soaked.

Drain soaked.

Yep, but just to remind you, BC is added to force for the effects of calculating drain even as it's subtracted from force to calculate the strength of the spell.  So in the BC of 2, all spells are considered to have +1DV.  Be careful.

[joe15552]

Oof, so you mean I BARELY soaked that one? Okay.

crap. forgot to roll 2 extra die in my drain roll for my manipulation fetish. I will try to remember next time.

Also, watch out for Yani trying to jump from europe to chicago.

[joe15552]

Uh oH! lol I fixed it. sorry.

[joe15552]

Does Devoted know what a Wasp plug is used for? I don't have a clue in RL. I'll roll survival if you want. (Survival 2 + Willpower 5 = 7 dice)

[Kontact]

It's just a blocked off passage to limit accessibility, like you saw on the stairs.  A barrier-> wadding-> barrier type thing.
Machete would have recognized the earlier one it for what it was once the wall broke.

Controlling access is pretty important for hive security.

[Crossbow]

Digger has secured his boots and his axe and made the Crusader easily accessible, then taken a rear position.  Between maintenance ladders and structural points the elevator shaft is a much easier climb.

If possible would also like to close the elevator doors on levels as they are passed, if it can be accomplished without a lot of noise.

[Kontact]

You would have to break away the hive residue pinning them open.  It would take a bit of time, chopping, and hefting but is doable.

The maintenance ladders are likewise covered in the hive material and not readily accessible.
It is however a simple matter to fire your grappling hook up to the highest available floor.

Well what are you waiting for batman?

[Crossbow]

A better idea that doesn't make me a metahuman pinata?

The top of the tower is within 75 meters?  That is all I got in the grapple gun.

I will go with it if it is the best we got.

Heads up joe, I will need to be levitated out into the shaft to get a good angle to shoot up the shaft and set the hook in a door.  Unless the elevator rotates with the building? GM?

If Devoted can follow me up so I am not alone up there that would be good too.

Your clearance is 1 floor down and 5 floors up.  Below that is another pile of rubbish and above that is another wasp wall.  Each floor is roughly 3 meters putting the final floor 15 meters above you.

You are [X] here.

For simplicity's sake, can we just say that Devoted was able to get him in a position that was within a comfortable range of his grappling gun?

[Crossbow]

I am gonna assume this is a Climbing + Agility which would let me buy 2 successes.  When I reel myself up there it will be with the Crusader ready to fire in burst mode.  Once I secure the area, I will drop another line for the rest of the team.  Devoted is following me up right?

[joe15552]

Yeah, Devoted will follow a little below, but not directly underneath Digger as he climbs. If Digger is successful with the his grappling gun attempt and he gives Devoted some sign that everything is a-okay for the spell to be dropped, then he will drop it.

Why not go ahead and levitate your character all the way up? Well, I got a bad feeling about that... As you probably do as well. Best give you the advantage of being able to control your own character's movement as we go up the shaft... and give devoted a -2 to perception rather than a -4... which practically makes him Helen Keller.
