Tobbis blinks as he glances at a message from Hallucination

@Hallucination
<<Beyond totally drekstorm, not a clue.>>

@All
<<Everyone, Patch me into any video audio or any other sensors you can give me. I'll give you all some guidance and we'll get out of this.  There's a hacker somewhere around here, as soon as I find him, I've got a script I'm going to run against him that will force him to only attempt to hack me, I'll kill that little shit on his own futile attempts.>>


"Oh its far more than that. I've got somethings I've dug up from some pretty deep places. Right now the car is running all of its normal data, plus accessing multiple banks of information for every car, building, person, and the like, and calculating an advanced algorithm based upon the data to expand your capabilities in AR or VR. Unfortunately its not something that just anyone can learn."

Sarah cursed as the Frenchman started jumping. She had barely had enough time to have the illusinary van blow up in a display of pyrotechnic before he started getting ready for his jump. She didn't want to risk mroe drain. To much and she could end up as a another body to be carted around at best. She hated wasting resources, but she dragged out a few ounces of the stone she had found at the edge of some anceint creature's grave in the western american deserts and drew the magic out of them instead. She was rewarded with the sight of the Frenchman fading out of sight in front of her.

"Great idea Garr" Said Solo.

"I am slaving the following devices to your comlink, with the appropriate Marks...

1. RCC
3. Flying eyes drones.
1. Rotodrone.
1. Growler bike.
1. Fancy rented car.
1. Machine pistol with wireless smartgun.
They should give give you the complete battle picture and if they will try to hack any of them, they'll be messing around with your iron firewall. I am even making wireless my pistol because some Deckers just *have* to hack smarlink guns... "

Quite quite... but that guy got balls thought Solo.  I usually goes out of his my way not to be a decking target. For him decking is for stealth. Spot the enemy from distance... hack them before they see you. When they see you... you already failed.  Beside having another pair of eyes with all the drone feeds may be very helpful especially when he is in VR and obviously has something planned out. Altough Solo can do many things he still cannot do everything at the same time, and with magic and driving planned there will be little time for hacking.

Snow Crash found himself in a rapidly depopulating kill zone, and if that flashbang didn't do anything about the team rappelling down he was in a really bad place.

Diving back into his car and gunning the engine he puts in into reverse and tries to get through under the levitated wreck before it dropped and trapped him in the kill zone...

Pretty sure this is a handling test.. still straight forward roll here.

Driving, handling test: 10d6t5 4 hits
Handling is 4 on-road...
No real idea if this is enough hits for this but it's the best i can do!

[gilga]

Solo use the levitated car to provide cover from sniper fire to the reversing cars... it was a big chunk of metal so he felt that it could actually work. He placed it at a height that seemed to block the firing angle from the approximated snipers location. They were more likely to make it out alive if they had some cover to back them, an an ambush like that was already a lot more than they bargained for.

@Outside Team [Al, Snow Crash, Isaint, Daddy, Jackhammer, Smiley, Tobis, Solo]:

With a squeal of rubber the convoy bids a hasty farewell to the alley, strangely muted by the appearance of an identical van, or close enough, exploding in the point they just vacated.  The illusion lasts seconds, even accommodating Snow’s car crashing through it, before another mind reaches out and wrenches the spell asunder…here’s hoping that the bastard suffered the same level of drain as Hallucination did in its creation…

@Inside Team [Mel, Hallucination, Frenchman, Duke]:

A rapid scramble through the debris takes the team to the upper levels just in time to allow Hallucination’s spell to conceal the departure of the rest of the team from the alley and to cloak the Frenchman in his heroic, or insane (as if there’s much difference), precipitous leap to one of the descent lines leaving him dangling some ten meters below the Hound helicopter…

Hallucination reels when her spell is destroyed but at least it gives her the focus to hold on to the one wrapping the Frenchman with greater strength…

@Outside Team:

Cover partially removed they are still able to use the distraction to make it to the alley entrance, still invisible, for now.  Solo’s spirit cries out in glee as she is able to trace back the unravelling of Hallucination’s spell to a first floor window towards the mouth of the alley…

Coordinated fire in the alley cuts down the last of Solo’s drones as it attempts to pin the shotgun bum down under a barrage of fire.  The three descenders touch down (having sailed through Snow’s flashbang apparently unharmed) and begin a bounding jog trot in the direction that Snow’s car and the others took, their armour piercing rounds joining those of Uzi girl as they pepper the front of the Americar…

First thing is first: Solo bring down the levitated car. One spell is enough and now that the cars escaped, having a car blocking the ally is in their advantage. Will  make it harder to chase them.

Solo was driving, pretending to be fleeing the scene like a cowered, but in reality keeping eye contact with the van. Since Solo has cast the illusion he was not effected by it himself. No mage falls for his own illusions and not for lack of trying...  Solo hoped that his teammates would give him some of the curtsy of the doubt, but it all happened too fast. It was just improvising, he had no idea if the wild plan was going to work.

The third drone feeds went dark as a haze of static replaced the drones sensors... "not again... " thought Solo... "I did not have any time to enjoy my toys before they were massacred..." No time to waste he thought:

Solo used the spirit hint, being mentally connected he knew just where to shot, but focusing on the spell and shooting was not an easy task. As the car left the ally Solo sprayed that window with bullets.

Shoot full auto as simple action with Ares Alpha -5 to defense Wireless smartgun is sadly offline Solo has 13 dice to fire, he dropped concentration of the levitated car. He just maintain invisibility so 11 dice left.

Fire Full auto (simple): 11d6t5 5
if he hits the damage is 11P , -2 (Ares Alpha with regular ammo).


While doing so, he used his throdes to mentally text:
>> Team, the mage is first floor... right at the mouth of the ally- I am sending one of the flying eye for better view. You all receive its feeds now.  This is prime target.



If the mage is dual natured the spirit will charge him with astral combat otherwise it cannot do much as it is still in the astral.
Astral Combat: 16d6t5 5

If he is not I'll have the spirit materialize in the van to help them escape.

Reversing at speed bumper-to-bumper with the Jackrabbit to his rear while shouting orders at the flustered family that were his charges, Al did his best to keep track of everything going on.

He could hear the chopper above him - and suddenly he could see it! - above and just ahead of him - deadly SWAT ninjas fastroping down. It was as though a new window had opened up in the roof of the van's cab, and a microsecond later he realized his entire vehicle was like one huge window - looking down he could see the filthy alley floor beneath his feet. Of course he lost his rear-facing camera feed, and instinctively glancing at his side mirrors, they were gone too! He would have smacked into rat-boy's minicar had the anti-collisions not kicked in at the last moment - right, their radar operated outside the visible spectrum.

So weird was the sensation that it actually took his razor-sharp brain a few ticks to realize that if he wanted to see to the rear of the windowless van bed, he now had but to turn and look. But before he could do so his front view was engulfed in fire as he watched a replica of his Bulldog appear in front of him and just as quickly vaporize in a cloud of superheated petroleum. Damn, how many Satanists was this crew packing? Whatever,  he could figure out a way to buy back his soul later, now he had to drive. Placing his left arm over the back of Spike's seat, he turned and asked: "Lord o' lightnin', Daddy, you do that?" at which point he swerved to dodge an errant dumpster, and his move sent the black magician's head into an invisible tool case near the roof, and the man was down for the count.

And then he was turning the corner out onto the street, narrowly avoiding two oncoming and altogether unsuspecting motorists. He deftly shifted out of reverse even as he forced his tires to find traction on the asphalt, and shot forward. It was tearing at him to leave his dismounted companions behind, but his first concern had to be the innocent family in the back. And it was no good staying in the enemy's deathbox anyway. He switched off his commlink, yelling for the boy to do the same to Daddy's.

He could no longer see the array of warning lights on his dash, but he'd never have used them anyway - anything he needed to know about how his baby was doing he could tell from the uneven vibrations in the seat under him, the tone of the engine's forlorn whine, and the angry smells washing up to him from the undercarriage. Sensing a problem, he eased back on the RPMs and wondered where he was going next. 

[Jack_Spade]

"Frag." Despite a solid hit that penetrated even the hardened armor, this opponent kept moving, indicating another layer of protection or heavy augmentation. Either way this was no longer a place he wanted to stay. He wondered a bit how he and the others could have missed the bulk of the armor under the ratty coat, but that was a question for a later time.

Right now he was still trying to shoot his way out of a war zone. He stashed his gun back into his holster and readied the rifle. All the while he moved towards cover and in the direction of his bike.

He stopped for a moment jumping like a hare and brought the shotgun man into his sights. Again he fired a tightly grouped round of shots.
"Let's see if you shrug that one off."

He was dimly aware of the car with the family vanishing, reappearing, blowing up and disappearing again in quick succession, but he just had no brain capacity left to parse the events. There were still to many targets left.

[Crossbow]

Smiley gets the message and the feed, smoothly turning his movement towards the window in question.  As the bullets removes the glass, the Amerind dives through the opening using his momentum to add to the power of the wheel kick he throws as he regains his feet inside the small space.

Snow Crash swore and ducked as multiple rounds pinged of and thudded into the car, the albino orc glad for the sturdy tank of a car as the engine started to make some rather unhealthy sounds but kept rolling, the light glittering off the shards of glass blasted into the cab by armor piercing rounds smashing through the windscreen.

Sow Crash started loosing a blistering stream of curses as his car takes another couple of hits, showing him with more glass and producing seriously unhealthy knocking and even smoke from the engine... somehow the thing was still operating and hadn't blown up, or at least not completely. Not quite out of the alleyway the combat decker did about the only thing he could, reaching for the machine pistol and driving one handed while the other fired several wild bursts at the milspec team. He had no hopes of hurting them, especially after they shrugged off the flashbang grenade, but hoping to get them to duck for cover or at least snow down enough for him to get out onto the street.

Having enough self preservation to stash the gun again he pulled back into the street, engine smoking and shuddering, but still somehow ticking over. as he turned he realized two things... one, the van was still invisible, two, the occupants where matrix dark... for a moment he almost panicked having no idea where the van was, until he noticed some rather unusual traffic patterns and maneuvers, figuring them to be the result of a foul mouthed maniac careening around in an invisible van the orc moves into the traffic, trying to ignore the myriad of warning lights on his dash... the lack of some of them rather worrying, as well as the acrid stench from the badly damaged hybrid engine wafting in through the bullet hole riddled windscreen.

Patching my comlin into Al's subvocal mic system "Al, Snow Crash here. Back on the street and moving to rejoin, my car's shot to all hell though, damned thing is barely running, _{glad I'm not a rigger...} not to mention the smoke and bullet holes are going to draw attention. Your call, I can ride flank to provide some buffer, or I can peel off and maybe draw some heat away. Not an ideal option, but the last thing we need is law enforcement asking why I'm driving a three quarter's smouldering wreck down a main street."

Honestly, I'm not even going to bother rolling for the attack, this was beyond spray and pray.

Just going to do the control vehicle roll as normal... have no idea what driving a vehicle with 15 points of damage would do to my rolls.
*Rummages through the book* Ohh... there we go, penalty to handling limit... whelp 

OK... well...

Reaction 6 + Pilot Ground Vehicle 2 + Wheeled Specialization 2

While Solo helped driving the vehicle out and away from the scene, Tobbis began working on the defense for the matrix.

Castle walls of data burst forth from the ground of the matrix surrounding Tobbis's persona and the devices he had slaved to his commlink. Standing up on the spire he began scanning the far reaches of data looking for the enemy decker. "Come at me bro." he says

24 posts worth add to sheet - 31th Post - Correcting a bit of mistake from eariler. Only the first 24 were added, while I was at 25.
So far Solo and Hal have cameras 8/10 cameras left in my possession.

Every combat round Tobbis spends 10 Initiative points to go into total matrix defense so his willpower is added to all his defense tests.

Matrix Perception vs thier hacker: 13d6t5 6    13d6t5: 4 [13d6t5=2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 5, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 6, 3

Defense vs Matrix Perception: 12d6t5 212d6t5: 2 [12d6t5=4, 2, 1, 5, 1, 3, 3, 6, 3, 2, 4, 3]

I wasn't suppose to put rule of six on this, but accidentally did. Luckily it puts whatever explodes into brackets with the first number being the one actually rolled. So its just 11 hits on my brute force defense.
Defense vs Brute Force: 21d6h5 12 21d6h5: 12 [21d6h5=[6, 6, 4], 1, 2, [6, 4], [6, 1], 5, 4, [6, 4], 1, [6, 1], 3, 5, 1, [6, 1], 1, 3, [6, 1], 3, [6, 1], 1, 5]

Hopefully he tries to brute force me. Cause this was less than spectacular. However, I would spend edge on this if needed to reroll lost hits.
Defense against Hack on the Fly/Dataspike: 19d6t5 319d6t5: 3 [19d6t5=4, 4, 2, 1, 3, 6, 3, 4, 4, 3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 5, 2, 1, 2, 5]

[gilga]

Still firing Solo dash to the car, and begins driving... the sleeping decker had to be removed from this hellhole... there were way too many insane people with assault rifles running around and shooting people.

He did his best to make sure that no one is able to occupy the 'free' space occupied by Al's car.

Pilot ground craft + diagnostics 4: 17d6t5 4

Limit is 4 + 1 from AR enabled driving (it is also way cooler) + what ever the machine spirit give I am a little fuzzy on techno mage rules. 4 hits are kept.

[Jack_Spade]

Finally the shot gun guy went down.
And stay down
Isaint had time to take a quick look around. Three new players had arrived and their armor made abundantly clear, that they weren't a bunch of bottle cap collectors.
He did a double take when he saw, that the Frenchman now was climbing up where the three had come down.
That guy is seriously crazy - and good.
<<Head's up Frenchman. As soon as you get up there, I'll try to knock out the pilot. So be prepared to avoid a crash.>>

This would be a difficult shot, so Isaint took the time to do it right.


Round 3:

Continuing in round 2:

Smiley is only on his feet for a second as he dives on the mage and starts to wrap him up for a quick Subdual.

Subdual of mage (AGI + MA +Superior position): 16d6t5 5

He hooks his feet around the legs and goes to lock in a rear naked choke, as his hand brushes across the mage's hair to lock in the hold he leans in close and whispers in his ear.

"Unless you want to end up like your elemental, with a gaping hole in your chest, go limp and take a nap, your fight is done."
