There are a couple ways to go about this:

1) If you just want to give the drone instructions of what to do on its own (with its dogbrain) - e.g. "switch targets" - then your roll is great. Since you've spent your Free Actions I'll say it can be done with a Simple, which frees up another Simple action to either make a longer transmission or to give your Agent new instructions.

2) If you actually want to do the shooting yourself then there's (sigh) a Gunnery + Agility test, as counterintuitive as it is to use Physical attributes while decking.

Lets go with dog brain.  I don't have Gunnery and I've got shitty agility.

As for the physical in matrix thing, Reaction would at least make a *little* sense, but agility?  wtf?

[Tecumseh]

@rednblack Ace actually loses -5 from initiative as a secondary effect of the electrical attack, and another -1 for the wound modifier, so he's now at 12. The electrical side effect is -1 for one Combat Turn in addition to the -3 wound modifier. Getting shocked sucks!

@Zweiblumen Sounds good. And I agree that Agility is pretty suspect.

Drone resist: 2 hits, the drone confirms Doc's orders and moves it targeting reticle to Chino's target.

Doc has another Simple action then. Does Doc want to make a longer comm to the team or does he want to update the Agent's instructions?

Attack: 7 (8 ) Sleaze: 5 Data Processing: 6 Firewall: 4
Decryption, Signal Scrub, Hammer, Agent

Yeah, lemme come up with a comm to add to my things to do.

[Malevolence]

Free: Switch DP with FW

Even odds that Canon's matrix support shows up about now... 


Bear will block the woman's path to the snowmobile, then observe in detail to see what threats might still be present on the astral. With his other simple, he'll kick the Ares Alpha out of her reach. If she tries to make a break for it, he'll intercept.

Don't give him ideas!!!

[Tecumseh]

The woman is already at the snowmobile so Bear can't block her from getting there. I suppose he could sit on the snowmobile itself, which would prevent her from using it.



Kicking the Alpha away: done
Observe in Detail: 14d6t5 3 hits, hmm, maybe you summoned a sloth, or a panda

Bear doesn't see any new threats on the astral. The only astral entities currently present are yourselves. Bear does note that Sam is severely wounded and will likely die without assistance.


20 - smaller dude on left flank

Free: Drop gun, "B, no! Eet's me, Yuri!" (Russian accent)
Complex: Subdue Chino: 3 hits

Roll Chino's Reaction + Defense + Combat Sense - Wounds. This bastard is strong as hell (Chino will feel obvious cyberarms) so if he gets a hit then Chino is subdued until he can break free.


17 - smaller gal on the right flank

Complex: "I'm just the hired help! You win, chummers! No me matas!" (Aztlaner Spanish accent)

16 - Voice from inside the van

Free: "We yield, we yield!" (slightly pompous educated accent)
Complex: Action hidden

As awesome as that image is, Bear will float slightly above the snowmobile. It's effectively on it, but more spirit-like.


And yeah, his rolls have been unBEARable. (I couldn't help it).


Ohanzee will try to Banish Rozkhi and with his free action, comm Katsina to heal Sam. I'm sure she knows, but she may not realize that he's trapped in a bubble so he can't do it himself. And he has a -3 penalty if he could anyway.


Banish Rozkhi [Magic 6 + Banishing 6 + Focus 2 - Wound 3]: 11d6t5 1
Yeah, O's pretty much spent...


I'll get an IC up tonight sometime.

[Tecumseh]

Rozkhi is in no position to resist. However, Ohanzee's banishing fails; or, more accurately, it succeeds but has no effect. Whatever the nature of Rozkhi's spirit, it is not susceptible to banishing.

Ohanzee needs to soak 2S in drain for his effort.

[Malevolence]

Drain Resist [Charisma 6 + Magic 6]: 12d6t5 7
No prob. I probably should have used Centering, but he didn't want to call any undue attention to himself.

[rednblack]

For Chino's Dodge:
REA (6) + INT (4) - Wound Penalty (2) = 8 dice.
Dodge: 8d6t5 1
Including Combat Sense: Combat Sense: 4d6t5 0
No change

Chino is subdued with Yuri getting 2 net hits.

Ace's actions on 12:
Simple: Stand
Simple: Take Cover
Free: Speak

IC incoming.

[Malevolence]

Sorry I didn't get to an IC last night. Should have it up by this evening.

[Tecumseh]

Chino forgot to use Combat Sense.

[rednblack]

Chino forgot to use Combat Sense.

Updated. No change.  IC is also up.

[Zweiblumen]

Doc's IC is waiting on Katsina's as he's mentally responding to her more or less subduing everyone.  (Or did I miss that IC post?)

[Tecumseh]

I'm going to make Ace roll Intimidation, simply because the social skillz don't get enough love:

Charisma 4 + Intimidation 2 + Outnumbered 2 + Caused Pain/Damage 2 + Freaking LASER 2 - Wounds 3: 9d6t5 1 hit

Ace is a bit beat up to sound too convincing. Thankfully, you only needed one hit as their will to fight has largely been broken by the elimination of their leaders.

Hostilities have ceased for the moment. Nobody is holding any guns and nobody is actively resisting. The guy on the left with cyberarms has Chino in a clinch but that's more for self-defense (to keep Chino from murderizing him) than to harm Chino.

Next steps
Time to catch up on some IC posts:
IC post for Ohanzee shattering Doc Hack + Bear missing
IC post for Kat casting Influence
IC post for Doc's comm + drone control
IC post for various surrendering

I'll get one up for Katsina's spellcasting soon. Ohanzee's and Doc's can come anytime today. Then I'll do another IC post to cap things off.

If anyone intends to not accept the surrender, please let me know and we can continue to resolve the necessary rolls. If you intend to accept, then I need an outline of what your character plans to do over the next 10-15 minutes. We can do this OOCly to begin and then do single IC posts so we're not ping-ponging for weeks.

For example, Ohanzee said he would call on Kat to heal Sam. Kat would respond "medkit first, magic second". Checking on Sam reveals that he is in Overflow and will die within 30-40 minutes without medical attention. The Heal spell cannot stabilize Sam, so that needs to be done with a medkit (either automated or with Doc driving it remotely) or with a trauma patch, which Katsina has, if those actually work on Infected trolls.
