I teach science to elementary school kids.

I also teach an advanced English class to Middle Schoolers by playing Shadowrun with them.  They love it, and everyone who plays has seen a marked increase in their speaking ability.

How about you?  What do you teach?

I used to teach English in a high school, but now I teach English Composition at one of the local universities.  Just a part time thing, though, usually 1 or 2 classes a semester to keep my foot in the door.

Baro/Sabato is outside.He's been outside since IT first pulled over.He was at the point of the diamond formation around the car.

Question : Can Baro assume that this rider is a better combatant than his comrade?As far as Mechanics go, he has more defense dice and far more soaking dice(at least 24).Can Baro aknowledge such differencies in game?

If yes, he will probably consider givng chase, this guy is too dangerous to be left alone.

Interesting question.  Let's do something weird with it.  Give me a Pilot Ground Vehicle check as a Knowledge skill (use Logic instead of Reaction).  Beat 3 hits and Baro can tell.

Give me a Perception test (visual) as well.

Edit: I see IC you've decided not to chase.  He still could have noticed, if you still want to make the rolls.

roughly how far away from the dazed rigger is my rooftop?
i'm trying to figure out whether to sprint and stun baton or stay where i am and taser him at range.

initiative if needed:
: 2d6+8 15

Astral Initiative: 16+2d6 23

Chase - f5 air: 14+2d6 21

IT:  (look around)

Grace has really nothing worthwhile to do, so we won't expend a service for her. We'll use her when she has something to contribute. Her only attack option is unarmed with 3 str that will do nothing.

@Siren, what are James and Inanna's current position related to Seoul?

[Siren]

Ok, holiday has begun and I'm free to post.  Update incoming.

initiative if needed:
: 2d6+8 15

Roughly 10 meters as you can judge.  No further than you can move in a single combat round, as you moved about that far to get on the roof in the first place.  Your movement action could get you to him if you chance a straight jump off the roof.  You're about 4 meters up for reference.

Your target is unaware of you. Chase has the first move.

@Siren, what are James and Inanna's current position related to Seoul?

About halfway; a good distance from the rest of the team. An hour at a moderate pace.  Rushing, they could reach you in about half an hour.  The GPS locator for the Bulldog shows it about an hour from you at its current speed.  It is driving on auto-pilot, but you have a mark on it and can give it commands through the Matrix.

[gilga]

Well let's resolve the elemental attack first in that case.

[Siren]

Alright.

Baro:

Baro can't make out much, but the guy (girl) on the bike is pretty clearly not one of the two you saw earlier.  The figure is much slimmer and the details of the bike are too different.

gilga:

Is the spirit manifesting?  The rigger isn't in the Astral and isn't dual-natured, so I don't think an attack by an astral entity can affect him at the moment.

Everyone else:

Sorry again for the slowdown.  Things should pick up from here on out.  Can I get a headcount of who is still around?

[Csjarrat]

Still around, will be doing a ready action and attacking rigger in my turn.
Light body r4 power should allow me to pounce off the roof without too much of a drama I think

[gilga]

Yes ... join combat means materializing and doing the action. You might want the first action as materialize. (or include it as part of the astral travel) - both are fine.


But yes, before all the spells and attacks a spirit definitely materialize.

[Sabato Kuroi]

@ Siren

Ι'm still around but I can't do much to help the others or move the plot forward. Sabato cannot reach the resto f the team  since he'd rather  not use a car with a tracking device.

[rednblack]

Present.

Not much for Inanna to do at this time either.  We're going to head toward Bulldog, and have Bulldog head toward us.  We'll make a switch as quickly as possible, and then head to Seoul. 

[Siren]

Sorry, was just asking since materializing is a complex action.

gilga, Csjarret, would you be terribly offended if we ended your combat situation without rolls?  The guy is dazed and could be easily overtaken in a couple of combat rounds. 

If you'd like the IC post, feel free to play it as you wish. Probably best with Flea, since she is physically on site.

[Malevolence]

Present. As rednblack said, we're going to rendezvous worth the Bulldog, then return the rental car by autopilot.

[ScytheKnight]

Still around and kicking, going to be sticking with Sabato and Ivory, she's had one too many close calls from being careless.
