Guys, I don’t remember, is there a weapon (the rifle or a shotgun) from what the hunters used still unclaimed? I’m not really equipped for combat vs. vehicles at the moment, but with a little luck, even a Ruger 100 can penetrate the chassis.

Thermal brings Visibility and Light up to -1 and -3, your Smartgun negates the Wind, and you don't have an action to spare on Take Aim to negate range. Total penalties come out to -1 Visibility, -3 Light, 0 Wind, -1 Range. -1 Visibility and Range combine to become a -3. That combines with Light to become a -6.

I was under the impression from the environmental modifiers section that you only use the largest single modifier, with tied largest counting one grade higher. Did I miss a houserule?

To determine the Environmental modifier, take only the most severe environmental condition and use the associated modifier. If there are two or more environmental modifiers tied for most severe, bump the modifier up a category. Note that Range is an environmental modifier.

Woah, spend a weekend moving offices and we're getting attacked by a helo full of armed goons? Jeez, what'd you guys do while I was gone

Let me know where I come in. APB would likely have reacted immediately when informed there was an icon running silent within 100m of us.

EDIT
Sent you a PM; if I don't get any actions before Initiative is rolled, my actions will be as specified (complex + complex), then new combat turn for her.

[Poindexter]

simple action- open or break window
simple action- fire off a frag grenade at the nissan hound.

i dont know if i have the heavy weapons skill or not.

Ren, the Masked Woman handed the weapons to Uncle Sam to see if he thought they would be useful. See replies #96-98 of the IC thread. She was intending to take them with us - if only so they're not sitting on the side of the road as evidence - but never explicitly stated it. As for the weapons, see Ryo's post:

Sam recognizes the shotgun as a PJSS model 55, and the hunting rifle as a Springfield M1A, with a smartlink mounted on it.

My initial ruling was that any two on the same row combines to become the next row up, but it does appear to say that only happens if there are two tied for the most severe. range and visibility were tied, but not for most severe.

Alright, Uncle Sam only gets -3 from environments, for a total of -9.

...Okay, third time's a charm.

You have Heavy Weapons 5.
You get +1 from your Smartlink if the wireless is on.

Agility 9 + Heavy Weapons 5 + Smartlink 1, - 6 Blind Fire -3 Environment, leaves you with 6 dice. You also have 4 Edge you can use.

You don't have to break the window, it slides open.

I'll say you went VR immediately then, and your Init will change accordingly. Your turn would have already happened, so feel free to post now.

firing on the hound: 6d6t5 4

now thats a helluva roll.

Huzzah. Now are you using Wireless Link or Motion Sensor? If it's the former, you've got to spend a free action to detonate it, which you have so no issues. If it's the latter, I get to roll a defense test on the Hound.

Either way, you're free to edit your post with your attack. I'll post what happens to the hound in mine.

[Ryo]

Total Darkness (-6) has been replaced by Blinding Glare (-6). Flare Compensation moves Light from glare up two levels, to Weak Glare. Thermographic vision moves both Visibility and Light up 1 level, which would stack with Flare Comp, so Light modifiers have been reduced to 0 for those of you with Flare and Thermo.

Novocrane: Go ahead and roll your Vehicle Test. Also, where are you headed? Are you continuing towards Aspen, or are you getting off Route 82 and headed to the camp ground (and thus below tree level)?

[Ryo]

martinchaen or Ren are free to post next, since APB would have had a turn by now, and Ace is after Chino.

As far as I'm aware, the PJSS and M1A are still in the rover and loaded, so Ace is free to pick one up and try to shoot it. He won't get the smartlink bonus though, since he does not own the guns.

Ace has the firearms group at 4, so you should already know what to roll.

The shotgun would be at Extreme range, the hunting rifle at Medium, so I assume Ace will go with the latter. He also has Flare Comp and Thermo, so the total Environmental Modifiers will be -3. Blind Fire no longer applies thanks to the spotlight.

[Ravensoracle]

Wow that escalated quickly. We don't even get back from our sneak-and-peaks and weapons are already discharged. We didn't know their intentions but we got an idea now.

[Poindexter]

wireless link, and ill use the free action. IC post fixed up. sorry bout that and the general level of confusion on my end these last couple days.


shits been crazy, maaaaaan.

Still heading into town; maybe we'll rethink that as events pan out?

Rea (6) + Groundcraft (5); 1st combat turn, 2nd IP: Breakaway test. (11d6.hits(5)=4)

[GrimWulf]

Free action to declare counterspelling active, unless I have to use the interrupt to do so if the enemy mage who acts before me does something (-5 initiative on me if thats the case)


Ohanzee will be summoning once it get's around to him.

Summoning F8 spirit or Air
12d6.hits(5) → [2,4,4,3,6,1,3,4,2,4,5,4] = (2)
Magic 6 + Conjuring  5 + Focus 2  - Wound 1

With only 2 hits, I'm going to edge for rerolls
10d6.hits(5) → [1,6,6,5,1,3,1,3,4,6] = (4)

6 hits total, (hopefully that wasn't my only Edge  )

Don't know if there's any specializations or mentor spirit or anything to include in there.

Spirit resistance (if you don't mind my rolling it)
Force 8
8d6.hits(5) → [3,5,4,5,6,4,5,3] = (4)

Gives me 2 net hits

And now the fun drain roll
Resisting 8 drain. (spirit hits x2)
11d6.hits(5) → [1,5,5,2,6,5,3,4,3,2,2] = (4)
Ow, he didn't come without a fight, force is over magic so 4 physical.
