Krestov had his initiative covered in last Ic post: 19.

From the sounds, a holding position seems to be in order anyway

To update the Ini list:

Woden is now at 21 (Casting another barrier and firing a stun bolt through it at Slobber)

The Guardian Spirit is now at 9 and out of sight since he fled back into the office to escape the explosion after his attack

Frigg is under the table and not really the fighter type.
Also, wow, HE Grenades are really, really dangerous. Thank god for strong barrier spells.

Edit:

Also, for those reading my posts in the rest of the forum, I just revealed a potential severe weakness of Woden.
Krestov may make a Perception check vs. threshold 3, followed by a Logic-1 test (yeah I know you only throw 1 die)

Har.  Naturally you give the roll to the one whose player has been barely keeping up as is :P

Perception: 9d6t5 3

That being said there is hope...and I'm spending my first point of edge ever to push this limit!

.Logic: 2d6h5 2  bingo.  Can't ask for more.

I am really impressed.

You get a cookie and also notice the following:

Being close enough to the Windows of the car, Krestov notices a large cage filled with four ravens. Three of them seem to be surrounded by a shimmering haze.
Krestov remembers that he read somewhere, that certain mages and adepts can have imbued animals that are able to sustain their spells...

Ya, cookie!

Alright, logistical questions then...is the car door openable with a free action, or does the glass seem to be bullet resistant?

The glass is most certainly bullet resistant. To open the door you need at least a simple action (The car is not locked)

Grenade: Well that went almost as poorly as it possibly could have. I actually was going with 1 round timer on it because I figured I would need to bounce it to get it into the middle of the hallway from where I was standing, but no matter. Force wall did it's job, and big spirit man isn't next to use for an initiative pass. Good enough.

Stun Bolt: 10 hits on 16 dice? Blech. Frag off assassin man.

But I won't spend edge. I've only got 2 left, and it won't put me down anyway, and I won't even average enough hits to get out of the -3 penalty to everything.

for someone like you, -3 on your dice pool may only tickle a bit.  But yeah, wouldn't blame you for ducking behind the troll :P

As an aside, is Stun damage healable?  I'm curious now

Usually, it is, except for Drain damage. Unless Jack says Stunbolt damage is treated like Stun damage, in which case of course it wouldn't be.
Imagine injecting a cocktail of stimulants which wake you up again. Something to bring the

If it is treatable, some questions:
 - How long would it take me to reach Slobbertooth (by foot, since I have to)? I assume since I have marks on the car that opening the door is a Free Action for me, isn't it?
 - How much does bnc see? Does the drone (which, since it is slaved to my Fairlight, should have gotten some more dice when it got hit by the dataspike but I guess this is irrelevant, since it's fully functional) see the ravens or anything else? If so, am I allowed to roll an Magic Theory?

Magic Theory: 13d6t5 3

 - If she sees the ravens and if she gets, what's going on, would the drone have direct line of fire?

@Volker

No, as far as your posts show, the drone is still behind the house with Torrent.

And in any case it doesn't really matter much, since Krestov just solved the problem through a murder of crows... ;D

And yes, stun damage can be healed with a first aid check. But at the moment a Stim Patch would be the better solution

Whew, boys, slowly. We should get some order in this sometime.

Woden413121Adrenaline boost
bnc29199
House Pilot2717Full Defense
Torrent27
Slobbertooth26166Fire
Spirit24199Lightning Bolt
Krestov199geek the birds
Frigg18

Torrent's shooting at the window was his last action of CR 1, so he has not acted in the running CR yet.
Woden already had an action in 41. Before he can Stunbolt Slobbertooth, everyone else gets one pass. bnc wasted hers, Slobbertooth and the house pilot both acted. So, Torrent is next. Then comes Krestov (who already described his action, though Krestov didn't act, technically) and the spirit. After them Frigg, if she wants.
In the 2nd pass, Woden casts the Stunbolt, then comes bnc.

Woden casts barrier at 41
Spirit walks into corridor and holds action at 24
Slobber delays
Krestov creats the wall break at 19
Slobber threw the grenade as delayed action at 18 and received a reaction from Spirit 

Everyone inside the house acted during the first initiative pass

Grenade explodes and reveals Woden

Woden starts at 31 by shooting Slobber
Slobber - hasn't acted yet
Krestov at 9 kills birds

As soon as Slobber acts, the spirit will take it's last action for this round.

@ Jack. So, why again does Torrent not get to act? It should be his turn now
