I'm trying not to think about Eva, don't spoil the mood

[Imladir]

Just a little something:

OOC:  Wow 2 10S -4 AP didn't take any of them out, I'm scared now =P

It's not 2 times 10S at -4AP, when two grenades detonate at the same time, you add to the first one half the DV of the second, and improve the AP by 1 (same thing if you have more than 2)
So here, it's 15S at -5AP.
So all in all, while it's not good news that the men are still standing, it's not too surprising either.

Anyway, good luck

[Mercy Merchant]

Indeed.  It does not mean they are not rocked on their heels, but even with AP-5 they can soak some of the stun and still be on their feet..................sort of.  And maybe they are just tough.

Ah okay.  Thanks for the info.  I was really thinking I was in over my head with that.  I'm still new to 5th ed so I'm happy to learn game mechanics.

[Imladir]

I was really thinking I was in over my head with that.

It might still be true

[Stuttrboy]

True but not nearly so obviously.

That's not a glitch here, you have a pool of 10 so you'd need 5 ones to have a glitch.
Here you have 3, 4 on your clinch, and 3 on your elbow attack, but that shouldn't be enough to get a glitch. Unless you have some kind of negative quality that changes it?

[Stuttrboy]

Awesome.  I've always played that if you rolled more 1's than successes that was a glitch and 1's with no successes is a critical glitch.  I'm guess that's another 5th ed rule I'm ignorant of lol.

[Imladir]

Yep, a glitch is at least half your pool as ones, and a critical glitch is a glitch with no successes at all.

OOC:  I am going to link you for a bit with Cynthia in the Eva/Cynthia thread but keep the threads separate.  I do not know if we need to combine them yet.

Wouldn't it be better to do it in Echo's thread if only Cynthia is involved at this point? It would probably be easier to follow for Echo and since for now it's only messages, it doesn't really matter to me if it's in Eva and Cynthia's thread or Echo's.

[Zen Gypsy]

Doesn't much matter, I am watching both threads anyways

[Imladir]

So do I. But I was thinking more in terms of continuity than anything else.
It would have the added advantage to not disrupt Eva's plots. Our thread could become a bit cluttered by adding another layer of posts not concerning Eva.

[Mercy Merchant]

OK.  I can see the advantage of having Cynthia post in both threads for the time being.  At some point it may mean a combining of both threads.

[VegasRigged]

The irony is moving it is that Eva is thinking about following. She got a tip from a hacker who tracks this kind of thing for fun, definitely a person worth talking to about it further. Also, I haven't really been keeping with the Echo thread, someone want to give me the cliff notes or will it be better if I learn it all through my character? I can go either way.

[Imladir]

Well... He's the one everyone is looking for, especially the mercenaries currently dropping bodies everywhere. So if you want to join him, you should expect some action (especially if said hacker is right and the mercenaries are currently on their way to introduce themselves to him)

After that I can't judge if you'd be better off knowing more or not, but you've probably got the main points there ^^

By the way, you may have missed a message from Cynthia where she warned you she was leaving:

[...] send a message to Marissa too <<It's getting late and I'm tired so I'm off to bed. You know how to contact me if you want something.>>

Not sure if you did or not, but since you seemed to learn Cynthia was leaving when you checked I supposed it might be the case.
