Now, rid of Frigg, bnc turns to the house pilot. But there's no need to destroy it if you can use it.

Swap Decryption for Exploit. (Free Action)
Hacking on the Fly: 17d6t5 4
Opposed roll: 10d6t5 4

Oh COME ON. This is the fourth un-Edged roll I fail although I have far more dice. Crap.

Crap -.- I forgot the 5 dice from Total Defense:
Opposed roll: 5d6t5 0

:D
Now, that's fair. My spirits are up again *chuckle*

I assume you have taken the impact explosion option.

Scatter roll:
Scatter: 2d6 2
Ups. that is going to fall short.
Scatter: 1d6-2 4

Fuck. 4 meters to short
That means it's exploding directly in front of the barrier
16P AP-2
Resist: 22d6t5 8
Barrier takes 8 Damage, 4 remaining, holds
Blast is redirected at the opposite wall

Guardian Spirit uses interrupt action to run for cover, back into the office room (Ini -5)



Slobbertooth ducked under the lightning strike, but in this movement he lost control of the grenade he was about to throw. He saw it fall just outside the blocked doorway, while he himself stepped behind the orange force field. From the corner of his eyes he saw the spirit flee back into room he had come from. Than the grenade reached the floor and the motion sensor registered the sudden stop.

The Grenade exploded. Slobbertooth managed to raise his hands to shield his face - a pretty useless gesture, but to his utter amazement the magic barrier actually prevented him from blowing himself up.
The shield held and instead directed the blast towards the other wall, tearing it away like tissue paper and blowing the whole reinforced front door out of its frame.

Light fell again into the darkened house and revealed the kitchen. In the middle of the room stood the male elf - now pretty much clearly identified as Woden.
The man had put on a lined coat and was surrounded by a red, shimmering haze, indicating a strong armor spell.
In his hand the man had a heavy pistol, Slobbertooth identified as the PSK-3.
Woden's left eye socket was uncovered and showed a glowing red orb where an eye should have been.

More important, he was surrounded by a half dome of the same brilliant orange energy that had saved Slobbertooth from the explosion.

Just as the Ork was about to react the barrier in front of him vanished and a bolt of pure agony descended on him.

From inside the car behind him, the cawing voices of four ravens began to scream.


bnc on the other hand was again frustrated by the excellent defense of the house's firewall.


Woden's first Action at 41:
Cast Force 10 Physical Barrier around him: Spell Casting (Manipulation): 16d6t5 5
Spending Edge for reroll: Spell Casting (Manipulation) Edge Reroll: 11d6t5 5
Total 10
Drain Resist: Drain resist: 20d6t5 10
No Drain


Woden's action at 31:
Stun Bolt with Witness my Hate
Stunbolt (Limited, Force 7): 16d6t5 10 [16d6t5=5, 3, 5, 6, 1, 5, 3, 4, 6, 3, 6, 3, 6, 6, 6, 5]


Well, lucky you that he didn't up the Force any more
7+2 = 9S
vs. Slobbertooth's Willpower:
Resist: 4d6t5 0 [4d6t5=2, 3, 4, 4]
Do you want to Edge?
Otherwise you take 9 S damage

Drain resist: 20d6t5 1 [20d6t5=2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 4, 4, 4, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1]
You've got to be kidding me...

Woden takes 3 Stun damage

As he saw the grenade drop, Krestov turned his body away from the blast, facing the car as the whole house shook.  As the dust settlrd, the squawking of the Ravens in the car drew his attention.  Now why...

A memory of a class from his Academy came to mind...the lesson: factors in magical threats.  Animal conduits.  Of course.

"Slob!" he barked out, pistol whipping out as he flung the car door open, leveling his Crusader to let of a 3 round report of fire into the cabin...

Pistol burst: 7d6t5 3
Don't have books on Crusader damage codes, but assume normal ammo.

Slobbertooth reeled from the stunbolt but didn't fall over. He woozily raised a middle finger towards Woden, stumbling into cover when he saw what Krestov was yelling about.

"Oh... there's a problem.... huh? Should prob-probly do something about that..."

"Hey... bnc, when you've got a minute. Gonna need a medic... here."

Torrent is tempted to vanish and try another point of entry but he knows he doesn't have the time.

He keeps firing at the window

Torrents focused efforts finally manage to break the lock on the window and he steps into the darkened living room, leaving the door open for bnc's drone to fly after him.

Meanwhile, Krestov had shot the four birds in their cage as easy as fish in a barrel. The effect was immediately noticeable: The red glow around Woden vanished and he stumbled noticeable, clutching his head. Only his movements stayed impossible fast.

Slobbertooth was still aware enough to notice the stumble at the death of the crows. "Hurts when those close to you get murdered, doesn't it drek-head."

Slobbertooth leaned out behind cover and sprayed bullets at Woden, and then shuffled back to where he was hidden.

 Ugh, even banter is exhausting right now. Slobbertooth search around his pockets for a stimpatch, but only found a medkit. "Drek"

Woden goes on Full Defense (-10 Ini)
Defense: 15d6t5 2 [15d6t5=1, 1, 4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 6, 1, 4, 3, 1, 5, 1]
Seriously? And almost a Glitch...

Soak Physical Barrier: 15d6t5 10 [15d6t5=6, 5, 6, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 5, 3, 5, 3, 3, 5, 2]

But the barrier holds with an amazing result...

Now the spirit strikes again with a Lightning Strike at Slobber (again +4 to defense due to cover)
Lightning Strike: 14d6t5 5 [14d6t5=5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 6]
12 P(e) AP -6



The attack was uncannily precise - Woden jumped aside and rolled on the floor to get clear, but Slobbertooth had expected that move - and it would have worked, hadn't Woden just at that very moment severely strengthened the magic barrier.
Almost immediately another lightning strike hit Slobbertooth's cover and tendrils of electricity danced around the orc...

Slobbertooth rolled and danced as lightning crackled around him. "Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope"

Slobbertooth uncoordinated attempts to dodge the lightning strike miraculously worked and the tendrils of electricity passed around him.
Defense Int 5 + Rea 8 + Combat Sense 2 + Cover 4 - 3: 16d6t5 4
Spend edge to reroll failures. Edge Defense Reroll: 12d6t5 6

1 point of edge remaining

"Killing my ravens was a mistake - whoever you are. My defense is impenetrable and once my Berserker is done with you, I'll make sure your remains are food for the next generation of corvids."
Woden answered.

Again the red stone in his socket glowed as he sent another wave of intangible force, this time at Krestov

Witness my Hate Stunbolt at Krestov
Stunbolt (Limited, Force 6): 15d6t5 4
6 S resisted with Willpower
Drain resist: 12d6t5 6
no drain

4 Stun damage

Do you want to spend Edge?

Torrent knows his pistol can't penetrate the assassin's magical barrier but he is determined to divert his attention from his friends.



Simple Action: Shoot (Limit 7): 19d6t5 7 (no recoil penalty yet)
Can I use another simple action to activate the motion sense and search for Frigg?

Frigg was easy to spot: She had taken shelter beneath the round breakfast table, clutching a shotgun, but evidently to terrified to do anything with it.


15 P AP -1 vs. Barrier
Barrier resist: 19d6t5 4

Yeah, those words just bit Woden in the ass. The Barrier is down


Torrent didn't try to hit anything specific inside the barrier. Instead he concentrated an shot at the apex of the dome where the energies were projecting from.
The force field collapsed.

"Good shot, brother!"

Concentrating hard, bnc focusses on the new target. She is determined to deliver Slobbertooth his arch enemy. She aims, inhales, and pulls the virtual trigger targeting Woden.

One by one Woden's defenses had fallen, but the elf was still incredible fast and alert. Narrowly he dodged the gel round with an impressive side roll - bringing him squarely into sight of Torrent and his gun.
