Baro:

You've got a choice to make here.  The rider isn't surprised, so he will be aware of you and your attack.  He may continue toward the cloud, or he may take action against you.  No need to reroll, but you need to choose which action, and which corresponding roll you are going with.

The next attack belongs to Drone 1, Mr. T, then IT, then Drone 3.

Csjarret, did I get an init roll from you?

Everyone else, go ahead and decide your next moves.  James and Inanna are out of initiative at the moment, but that could change depending on how they react to the fleeing man.

If I can identify him as one of the two riders that pursued us earlier, or if he is similarly dressed, then I attack.
I prefer to try and  draw him in a fight against me

So my actions :

Until he enters my field of vision I take aim(vision magnification) for one Pass
When he enters my field of vision this is what I do

Free action :Switch to FA mode
Simple action: take aim (+1 dice to attack)
Simple action : Shoot FA simple (6 rounds/ -5 penalty to defense)
No recoil penalty, APDS rounds (-6 Armor Penetration)

Agi 9+ skill 8 +smarlink 2 + take aim 1- long range 3(reduced from extreme range) = 17

as for the actual roll :

Shooting the rider: 17d6t5 6

Yako will be casting Lightning Bolt at the spirit again... I'll do a roll now on an assumption I get through its action without something affecting my rolls.

Lightning Bolt Force 5
Spellcasting 6 + Magic 5 - Confusion 1
Lightning Bolt Force 5: 10d6t5 2 hits... dreck...

Drain resistance
Willpower 4 + Charisma 4 - Confusion 1
Drain resistance: 7d6t5 1 hit, Yako would take 1 point of Stun drain damage.

Will reroll of something causes my dice to change.

As bad an idea as it likely is, Jaws is unlikely to let James live it down if he doesn't finish a fight. He's going to chase the fleeing man, giving up stealth if he needs to in order to keep up, but he's initially working on the assumption that if the man doesn't realize he's being followed, he might stop after a short while and James can ambush him.


James will text Inanna with his plan - "See what you can do with the car, I'm going to try to get some answers from this guy".

I have to spend at least one combat pass to control the vehicle so that's my first action.
I'm going to accelerate to try and open the distance to the pursuer

Shooting the rider: 17d6t5 6

This rider is similarly helmeted and armored, however, the bike is blue, while the previous rider was on a black bike.

Rider Dodge: 15d6t5 6

Grazing hit.

@Siren: Drone 1 will use a delayed action.


Understood.

Sorry, didn't realise I needed to. Will do one when I get to the hotel and proper wifi!

Yeah, sorry, I asked for it during a flurry of conversation.  BTW, on orokos, you can roll init using this format; "xd6 + x".

Rider Init: 9+4d6 27

Rider: 27
Flea: 15

It is unclear what the rider does on his turn.  Please roll a Vehicle test, Threshold 2, 1 for driving on a straight path +1 for light traffic .  Each net hit puts you one category out of his range.  The rider is already at long range, so 2 hits will be all you need, although he will get a roll to try and catch up.

Ivory Tower's Mr. T is now up, then IT.

Sorry, trying to roll from my smartphone, didn't think about the penalty, rerolling and editing.  I also forgot to factor in a bonus he should be getting, but you'll still be getting a better chance to hit.

Rider Dodge corrected: 13d6t5 6

lol.  Sometimes we just can't fight fate, I suppose.

haha ;) Siren, did you see the rolls for stunbolt + astral combat (IT and Mr.T?)
I think they should have happened before shooting the rider.
