So, if I've got this right, Con's up next.


Con: 17 (4 IP)
Clem: 15 (3 IP)
Snow: 12 (2 IP)
Sammy: 10 (2 IP)
Torley: 8 (1 IP)

[Crossbow]

Clem is up.

[HydroRaven]

Just so I (HydroRaven) don't make a mistake, what does Clem see/what was she able to detect with her perception roll?

[Crossbow]

In plain language, what you noticed before the smoke went up was that the drones O'Conner is/was shooting at weren't looking for him or trying to engage your group.  From the description Snow gave you of the positioning of the tags, the drones were looking to attack where the tags in the buildings were.

You might have stumbled into some kind of internal conflict.

[Crossbow]

Okay, so assuming Clem is moving forward out of the smoke, she can easily find a car to squat behind.  Readying the SMG is a simple action, so you are holding the other?

[HydroRaven]

Yup. Basically waiting if her theory rings true. Which it probably would, but now maybe these people will have taken notice since we started firing at their drones...

Toxin Resist
Body 4
Toxin Resist: 4d6t5 2
Reduced to Power 3

So he takes 3S increasing O'Connor's CM to -2 and the nausea brings that to -4.

Good luck to everyone else, because unless Sammy can remove the effect, O'Connor will contribute absolutely nothing to the rest of this fight.

[Crossbow]

Okay, we have a whole lot of held actions at the moment, Snow and Torley basically have a whole action and Sammy and Clem are down to a half of one.  Unless someone want to do something we can move to O'Conner's second pass.  Torley, at a full run will easily reach the stairs by the end of the turn, looking for all the world like a petrified civilian without difficulty.

Necrogigas, those nausea effects will not impact O'Conner until the end of the turn, so you still have 3 passes of usefulness until they hit full force.

[HydroRaven]

Looks like one of us has been spotted. I would say Sammy take care of the spirit as I am sure Clem, Snow and Torley can't do anything about it. I think the rest of the team should lie in wait to see what unfolds. If we are lucky the rest of the opposing party hasn't detected all of the characters yet.

[Mercy Merchant]

With his 'link off, they may not even know who he is, perhaps just thinking him to be some ganger shooting at the drones.

[farothel]

Yes, I would like to use my half action.  Since both spellcasting and banishing are complex actions, I can't do either of those in this pass, so I'm going to an assensing on the spirit to try and determine what type it is (from what I can see there are two types with noxious breath), what force it is, the link to its summoner (so I can try to find him) and anything more.

If it's a spirit of air, I think the easiest is just to stunbolt it back.  Spirits have only 1 condition monitor track and materialised spirits of air have not much body.  Also his immunity is against normal weapons, so not against spells.

As to the rest, I'm not sure if I can remove conditions.  I can't heal stun damage (heal is only physical) and I don't think I can take away the nausea.

@Crossbow: Sammy has her respirator on (since she has asthma, she almost always wears one against standard pollution).  Just so you know as that gives extra protection against the noxious breath.

[Crossbow]

Force 5 Spirit of Air

Mercy, anything you can do for O'Conner will take you both out of combat, first aid is not instantaneous.

[Crossbow]

Since I already know Clem is holding action, that moves us to pass two and O'Conner.

[Necrogigas]

Does the aerial drone's "arcing plummet" mean that its crashing or just losing altitude?

[Crossbow]

Crashing
