I hope by 'dealing' you mean freeing them of worldly possessions and not shooting them in the face.

[Sentinemodo]

I tried to egg them on with the 'since its a matched offer, I'll consider dealing with who's left standing' comment.

You must excuse me, I am not native
what the heck does it mean 'to egg them on with'

I assume you wait, saying nothing.

[Sentinemodo]

Rules update:
Based on some reading I have done recently.

1. access_id is an address of a node. address_id of an icon is an address of the node used to connect the Matrix. thus it is possible to get access_id of a person by matrix perception and getting access_id of their commlink node (unless of course he or she will use other commlink than observed to get into matrix)

2. you CANNOT see through solid objects using astral perception. I still believe this should be the case, but the rule rouse too many objections to force it.

To "egg somebody on" means to try and goad, taunt, trick or otherwise encourage them into action. When a frat boy is staggering about, blind-drunk with alcohol poisoning, and all his friends are still shouting "chug, chug, chug!" at him, the friends all "egging" the fratboy on.

Just one of those weird idioms.

[Boer_Kommando]

Yes, thats what I meant by that and sorry about that.

[Sentinemodo]

Oh, don't be. I am absolutely delighted to learn new idioms
and please post an IC example of how you 'egg them on'

[Sentinemodo]

By the way, can you use subvoc while in astral?

[Kot]

I'm not Astrally Projecting. I didn't declare that(i did in the tunnel). I'm just peeking out of the back to watch it with Assensing (-2 to non-magical, non-perception actions). I've just engaged my Astral Senses.

[Sentinemodo]

Ok, need to correct the IC,
done

[Kot]

Okay. I'm off. I leave it in your capable hands - you guys can play my character along the lines if i won't post in a while.

[Sentinemodo]

Please declare your actions for the next combat turn (if you have more then one IP, all actions fo rgiven round)
Then roll Initiaitive
 
I assume:
Stryker - do nothing (holding actions), until they shoot you. If they do ask for service to use Influence power. Init 15. IP 3.
Eight-stones - do nothing (holding actions) until somebody open the van (please roll Init anyway)
Cursor - ??
Mata - ??

Yaks (all of them): Init( + 8d6.hits(5)=2 = 10, IP 1
Jonny: Init(11) + 11d6.hits(5)=7 = 18, IP 2

Triads (all of them): Init( + 8d6.hits(5)=1 = 9, IP 1
An: Init (7) + 7d6.hits(5)=2 = 9, IP 1

[Sentinemodo]

Seems like we'll have a combat, and if so we won't be waiting. All of you are open for suggestion what Stryker will do.

[Boer_Kommando]

Mata will duck down for cover and pull his revolver out lol

I'm gonna stay in VR for this but my machine sprites got the vans node covered and my sleuths got the nightsky covered SoI will try to hack jonny's commlink so i can get control of his guns if they're smartlinked.
My Initative: VR Initiative (11d6.hits(5)=5) I'm on 16.
Sleuth sprite: Sleuth Initiative. (9d6.hits(5)=2) So 11, 3 IP
Machine sprite: Machine Initiative. (8d6.hits(5)=2) so 10 3 IIP
Sprite's will hold actions unless one of us are badly hurt or things get really bad, then tey will try driving us out of here. Sleuth:Pilot(3)+Command(3) on the Nightsky (6d6.hits(5)=2)
Machine: Pilot(4)+Autosoft(4) (8d6.hits(5)=2)

If he's in Hidden I spend my whole turn scanning for him, and fail everytime.Scan(3)+Elec Warfare(3) (6d6.hits(5)=1) Scan(3)+Elec Warfare(3) (6d6.hits(5)=3) Scan(3)+Elec Warfare(3) (6d6.hits(5)=3)

If not Heres a Hack on the fly for my first IP, going for Admin Access (Firewall+6): Exploit(4)+Hacking(3) (7d6.hits(5)=4)
IP 2: Exploit(4)+Hacking(3) (7d6.hits(5)=3) Thats enough if hes firewall 1 but i doubt it so
IP 3: Exploit(4)+Hacking(3) (7d6.hits(5)=5)

I'll duck if Its a free action

[Sentinemodo]

Mata will duck down for cover and pull his revolver out lol

is that nervous breakdown laughter?
