Okay, did some digging, learned that Mass Agony is a mana illusion spell and therefore resisted with Logic + Willpower.  Yay.  Here goes.

Resist Mass Agony (Log+Wil): 9d6t5 2

Whew!  And for the Perception...

Perception: 5d6t5 1

Hahhahahahahhahahha....yeah no.

As a note, two spells as simple actions each, both sustained?  Holy hell, she's either crazy good or just plain crazy.  Two counts of reckless spellcastingbat +3 drain each, and subject to a -4 dice penalty for holding those.  Dayum son!

Also, should I wait to post for the purposes of preserving initiative?  I remembered that I must spend a complex action each full Combat Turn as "tax" to keep control of the bike anyhow.  It's all you this round, Mercy

I might be misunderstanding the rules for Blood Magic from Street Grimoire, but, as I understand them she actually only has to be crazy. 

[Mercy Merchant]

Yelena fires a 3-round burst at the mage. 

Burst fire at mage: 16d6t5 7

A good hit.  Limit is 7 so this is good.  She defends at -2 for the burst and any negatives from earlier if she has any.  Damage will be 9 + net hits at armor -2

CJ my post for the ritual end is the fluff before your actual turn and you absolutely can take your action.
Since Arc, Yelena & Merea's actions are separate from Feathers, Johnny & Masquerade. Feathers & Masq still need to take their turns for this round of actions.

So, init so far is :

Smiley            21          11
Johnny           19            9
Arc                 14           14
Yelena            14          14 
Feathers         13
Merae            13  11  
Masquerade     8

Merea's dodge
Merea's soak 
So next pass Merea will die.

great stuff. can you give me a brief description of what i can see (ie all the obvious stuff). i'm just trying to get my head around where we are and whats happening now my head is up and out of the ritual lol

[SgtBoomCloud]

...well, I'm surprised merae is (going to be) down already.  I was half expecting Arc to lose a long or something.  Haha.

...then again, the battle isn't over, and we are technically at the ritual site, eh?  Like, merae could see Smiley...

[ismilealot]

Ty CJ for asking, because that reminds me, everyone is going to have to resist Mass Agony as Merae can see everyone. But, that also means you can see her. So, to answer your question.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/5uxe63au1pf5qfh/City_Ruins_VTT.jpg?dl=0  You guys are on the eastern side of the map near the burned out car. The house to your west is where the Howlers burned out the rival gang. The house to the southwest is where the orc family that wouldn't leave is. Merae just popped out of the small alley to the south. Sun has set. Quarter moon low on the horizon. Street light giving off very little illumination this far away.

save vs mass agony

3 willpower + 2 logic -1 will power from rage -1 logic from rage...

3d6.hits(5)=0

hurray...

luckily 2 damage does nothing for wound mods, but it stings like a b#$@h

[Triskavanski]

Ouch: 6d6t5 5 Terminatored it.

[SgtBoomCloud]

Smiles, thanks for the visual doesn't hurt, that's for sure.

CsJarrat, looking forward to seeing our mage in action!

Imveros, way to tank and trash talk the blood spirit of evil incarnate.  Also very happy I wasn't the only one to reference a horror trope with the witch .  Also, very surprised you spotted fire from a silenced weapon but I ain't gonna complain about it.

Whoo, this fight ain't over yet!

[Mercy Merchant]

I, too, have really enjoyed the visuals from all of the people in the fight with the beast.  Lots of back and forth and I thought the use of the whip to rescue Raven was inspired.  Keep at it.

[Csjarrat]

ok, will have a read through the magical actions when i get in front of my book later,
Needless to say, counterspelling is going up on our guys and then will probably go for initiative enhancing spells

[Imveros]

my thought process was not so much that i heard the shots, but i was actively looking at the little girl as she grew bullet holes that didn't bleed, then looked over to where the bullets came from .

Still i am very happy with how the fight is going. Sure it takes a while in this format, but i feel we have all had chances to be a little bad ass 

[ismilealot]

Ok, once we have CJ's actions and rolls, and Trisk's olls we'll be done with this pass.

[SgtBoomCloud]

...which means that the next pass will hit, all our posts will go into effect, and smiley gets another go (maybe two) at all of us, witness the witch die, and likely get kissed and target the killers...oh...

On a somewhat related note, judging by the visual map and the placement of everyone, I'm going to take a guess that Yelena is still in the alley firing out at Merae.  Which would put Arc on the Scorpion past Merae on the open street..Iis that what everyone else was thinking?
