How many lights are there in the warehouse and how is the lighting in general?

[Jack_Spade]

There are no lights per se, only the high up windows are letting in light from the overpass - enough for low light vision to have no problems.

[SquirrelDude]

Where there goes the plan of shoot out the lights and dive for cover. 

I hate to ask a spoilery quesiton, but is this scene/combat going to go on for a while, or are we going to be at this location for a while? If so, I'd really like to have a map of the area as our characters know it.

[Jack_Spade]

Yeah, we'll use the derelict building from p. 371 core. You are in the north western corner

It's not perfect regarding scale, but you get the the general layout (one box is approx. 2m long)

"They're illusions. It's a trap!", bnc bellows almost hysterically. Not knowing from where ambushers might come, she draws closer to Krestov (and his shield). In the same instant, she looks out for any hidden icons.

[Sabato Kuroi]

"We got incoming!Crate to the left!Take them out!"

@GM please let me know when my Agility bonus expires
Initiative: 4d6+11 24

[Jack_Spade]

Initiative:
Ying Ini round 1: 16+4d6 32
Yang Ini round 1: 20+4d6 32
Ying Foo Dog Ini round 1: 14+2d6 17
Yang Foo Dog Ini round 1: 14+2d6 17

Wow, that's really funny. There really must be some kind of connection between twins...



The warning came not a second to soon. A hail of flechette tore the box apart and revealed the real sorcerers. Both were accompanied by two large, identical looking Do Khyi Mastiffs - better known as Tibetian temple dogs.

The fight was on.

[Volker]

I hope I have my stats correctly in mind:
Ini roll: 1d6+7 12

[Jack_Spade]

Sorry for the delay, I forgot that SquirrelDude already posted his initiative in the OOC thread.

Ini 32
Ying: Auto-Assault 16 Shotgun
Short range, Wide Spread, Full Auto Long Burst vs. two Runners, in this case Torrent and Slobbertooth
Shotgun Attack: 14d6t5 5 [14d6t5=6, 4, 3, 5, 3, 4, 3, 6, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1, 6]
11 P AP +4 Dodge -14

Yang:
Net Bind Force 6: 15d6t5 5
Drain resist: 14d6t5 4
Yang suffers 1 S Drain
Everyone suffers -5 to AGI unless they can brake the net with STR+BOD vs. 12 dice, you can defend but suffer a -5 to defense. If you AGI is lower 5 you can't act physically until you free yourself.

Threshold to break the net Break the net: 12d6t5 3
I'll also allow you to make teamwork tests to help break each other free.



Time seemed to slow down as the two magicians began to act. The woman rose the Auto Assault-16 Shotgun to her shoulder and fired a long salvo against the two adepts. Flechette filled the air so the team almost didn't notice when black, tar like smoke appeared and fell across them, sticking to them, binding them to the ground.

And the hound began to howl...

[SquirrelDude]

OOC thread? I posted it in the IC thread. Here: http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=21044.msg416364#msg416364

Also, rules question for clarification in the future, I'll roll with what happened so far. When targeting multiple characters, don't you split up the attack pool and roll it separately against each character or does it work differently for shotguns than it does other weapons? I wouldn't be surprised if it worked that way, just curious.

Slobbertooth did his best to dive out of the way of the incoming fire, but knew that this was going to sting a little. He quickly spun around and covered his vulnerable areas to the best of his ability with his armor and lowered his profile to avoid taking some of the incoming fire.

The flechette rounds plinked off his helmet and body like gentling falling hail. Slobbertooth turned around and growled at Yin, only to be covered in Yang's net. He promptly broke free of it, and spoke to the two mages with a tone of voice befitting a bully scolding the children who tried to stand up to him. "Oh chummers, you've really hosed yourself now."

Vs Shotgun
> Full Defense + Willpower 4 + Gymnastics 6 to defense (Agile Defender), - 10 to initiative. 28 Initiative -> 18 Initiative.
> Reaction 8 + Intuition 5 - 14 + 6 =  Full Defense [9] (4) 19-14: 5d6t5 2
> Damage Code to soak 9P +4AP, doesn't break armor will be stun after soak. Does not surpass physical limit, so Slobbertooth isn't knocked down.
> Body 7 + Armor 14 + 4AP = Soak: 25d6t5 10 Slobbetooth takes 0 damage \o/

Vs Net
>Strength 5+Body 7 (3) =: 12d6t5 4

Intimidate Check
>Free Intimidate Charisma 3 - 1Untrained: 2d6t5 1 Not a critical glitch \o/

[Jack_Spade]

Yeah sorry, you rolled Ini before my post and I didn't look far enough back - and you also posted in the OOC, so it's really twice my fault 

Also, yeah, shotguns have this nasty little special rule for wide spread, allowing to target two individuals within 3m of each others with the same roll.

Also I like your reaction. Make an intimidate check to penalize the mages' next actions

[Volker]

Crap, it is so not going to happen that bnc can break free
I've got to break free!: 3d6t5 1
Wow, surprise.

Oh, I just remembered that she's still on Golden Mirror. That's 2d6+1 extra INI!
extra INI: 2d6+1 10
So it's 22 instead of 12. Booyah!

So it should be:
Twins: 32
Slob: 28
Torrent: 24
bnc: 22
Dogs: 17
Krestov: ??

[SquirrelDude]

That would make the initiative

Yin: 32 22 (acted)
Yang: 32 22 (acted)
Torrent: 24 13 (acted and injured)
bnc: 22
Scary Spice (Played by Volker): 21
Slob: 28 18 (Full Defense)
Dog 1: 17
Dog 2: 17
Krestov: 9

[Sabato Kuroi]

Soak: 12d6t5 3
forgot to add the AP+4 dice to my pool
Soak (+4AP): 4d6t5 1

so I got 4 hits out of 16 dice
gonna use Edge for a second chance 16 dice- 4 hits = 12 dice

Second Chance: 12d6t5 7

So my total : 11 hits

Took  5P damage, -1 modifier

Break  the net: 
Break the Net: 6d6t5 3
Success

Torrent runs and jumps up the southern crate
Jump (Limit 6): 16d6t5 7
Forgot to subtract one dice, but since I got 7 hits I'm OK.

This means I can execute a 3 meter vertical jump, and I guess it is enough.
Can I use 4 of my hits to jump vertically(2 meters)  and 2 of them to jump over to the other side of the crate?
If the whole maneuver is successful Torrent will try to stay out of line of sight  and sneak upon the enemy.



The flechette rounds  hit Torrent just as he turned to face the twins.The impact almost threw him on his back.

Fucking bitch.You're going to pay for this.
He resisted the sudden urge to charge the enemy and strike the woman's throat.
The fucking dogs will tear me apart , even if I manage to land a hit.

Torrent hated fair fights.He loved unfair fights only when he had the advantage.
He had to tip the scales in his favor.


He turned and run.Just when It seemed that he would collide with the crates he executed  a perfectly timed somersault to jump over to the other side.

[Volker]

These bastards. AR hacking is like sex with a condom. You're doing the act, but it doesn't really feel the same.
I consider forcing me into AR hacking as raping me with a condom. Foramen culi!

Considerably pissed off, bnc doesn't fully realize the danger she's in. Her brain acts twice as fast due to the Golden Mirror in her system, but as it is with everything: Speed always comes at a price. Evaluation seems to be a thing she can spare at the moment. Furiously, she slings very bad-mannered code at Yin's gun.

Scary Spice answers Slob's question for himself in a simple way: Who do you shoot first, if all opponents are mages? The one who cast a spell. So he aims for Yang's chest and presses the trigger.

bnc:
Free Action: reconfigure (load Configurator setting: Hammer, Shell, Decryption, ASDF=6345)
Complex Action: Data spike: Data Spike: 15d6t5 5
Damage: 7 (6 Attack + 1 from Decryption) +2 (Shell) = 9M plus net hits

Scary Spice
Simple Action: Aim at Yang (+1 die)
Simple Action: Single Shot: Shoot: 15d6t5 4
(I don't know how many Edge points he has (and if he as a NPC has some at all). If it were my character, I assume I would have used Edge for this roll).
Damage: 9 + 1 (Ex) = 10P plus net hits (AP -3)
