No problem using Edge for Blitz. It's there to make the improbable happen.

Mr. Nately isn't going to beat 25. Let's see if he would have beaten 10: 15, yup good thing you Blitzed.

@Rednblack, you get another +2 for touch-only attack: 1 extra hit, so 7 total, which equals Ace's Physical limit.

Mr. Nately dodging 6 hits. Reaction + Intuition - Prone: 3 hits.

Damage is 9S(e), staged up to 13S(e) with net hits. Sadly Mr. Nately's sweater is not modified for non-conductivity.

Soak roll: 1 hit. 12 boxes of stun.

His Stun monitor is full. He is tweaking and freaking.

[rednblack]

And not making a peep, right? I'm sure he's very quiet. 

Is 18M enough to close the distance, or will Ace need to sprint to get there?  If so. . .

IP 1
Complex: Attack Mr. Nately
Free: Run to Mrs. Nately (This may need to be modified, as IP 1 probably started before Ace was standing in front of Mr. Nately)

IP 2
Free Action: Speech
Complex: Attack Mrs. Nately

I'll hold off on rolling and posting IC until Ohanzee has a chance to do his thing.

[Tecumseh]

The problem is that Ace isn't 100% sure where she is. He knows where he last saw her (maybe 10m away) but who's to say where she is now a minute later. Better sprint.

[rednblack]

Sprint Test: 8d6t5 3

That's still 6 extra meters, yes?  That'll bring Ace up to 24.  He's going to try the kitchen first.  That will be his Complex Action for IP 2

[Malevolence]

Rolling initiative, in case it matters (and it probably will).
Initiative: 1d6+7 12
IP1
 Astral perception (look for the wife).
 Astral Perception (looking for the wife) [Intuition 4 + Assensing 4 + Specifically looking 3 - Wounds 2]: 9d6t5 4
 Message (light banter w/Ace, and a location for the wife if I spot her).


I'll IC it when I get the results of my perception. IP 2 will depend on how the situation develops. I don't have any non-lethal options, so I'm mostly there as a spotter. I can always summon wolf if things get bad.

[Malevolence]

Thinking better of it, IP 1 is the same, but I'm going to give up IP 2 and go full defense.

[Tecumseh]

@Mal are you astrally projecting or just perceiving? The latter won't help much, but the former limits ready communication.

[Malevolence]

Just perceiving. In not expecting much action on the Astral but I don't want to be surprised.

[Malevolence]

I don't know if Ohanzee was ever sitting, but he wants to be standing. So if he needs to stand back up we can account for that.

[Tecumseh]

Sounds good.

@Rednblack, Ace is going to find her in the kitchen. Go ahead and roll Ace's attack. He loses the superior position bonus but he gains the charging bonus since he is running.

[Malevolence]

CR2 action will be to sit down and project, searching the house room by room. Unless his position doesn't seem secure of course, so this is the plan until reality changes it.

@Tec: Did Doc turn up any more useful info with that search on Nately Enterprises?

[Zweiblumen]

@Mal: You mentioned earlier that an object had to be on a Grid in order to change ownership, and I'm sure you're right, but I can't find this in the rules.  Changing ownership isn't even a Matrix Action, it's a hardware one and requires a hardware kit.

The reason I ask is it'll make a *big* difference in how we go about stealing the RV.

[Malevolence]

It's a clarification from the German version of the rules that is not in the English printing I have (it might have made it into the reprint) and I don't see it in the errata either but it is widely accepted on the boards as The Way It Is ™.

[Zweiblumen]

@Mal: Thanks for the clarification.
@Tec: we going RAW for ownership or RAI?
