Irris, Nyx Maxwell, Simone - are you still with us? I am waiting for your input to continue the game.

[Mulcarn]

Sovereign is following Simone from the astral.

Simone is stopping Devon by chopping down the ladder.

Irris and Nyx are chilling up top on the roof trying to remain "Incognito".

[Ennui]

Last I saw simone confronted the guy climbing to the roof.  Im up top shooting at anyone who will try to get into the bunker.  If I wasnt clear I apologize.

[gilga]

Sorry I missed these posts don't know how. I reposted to give you some things to work with.

[Ennui]

Give me another leadership test Nyx.  I can use it in case I have to start dodging.

[gilga]

Okay let's do initiative please.

[Mercy Merchant]

Simone Initiative:  Initiative: 13+2d6 25  25 and 3IP

[Mercy Merchant]

Not to complain too loudly, but is there a real reason why the controllers of the drones were able to select the rooftop targets immediately as the concealment went away?  If they were looking at Devon on the ground, how did they see the two on the roof in time to target them?  Also, they are not directing any fire on the huge spirit?  Just questions I am interested in knowing if you considered.  If yes, you do not need to explain why, as I am just interested in knowing if these things were taken into account.

Also, I thought that Simone was also under a concealment sustained by Sovereign that he put on her at the same time he did Kynos and the rest of the advance party.  Again, if that is not so, it is OK.

[Ennui]

okay wow so a lot has happened in the last few days.  Sorry I was without internet and phone for a few days.  I have some questions but first things first.  Initiative. Initiative: 3d6+8 15

I was assuming I got surprise on the drones since they hadn't seen us yet and as I understood it it would have taken at least an observe in detail simple action then a complex action to use suppressive fire.  I thought I would have at least a chance to do another action. 

A hit the dirt action should be available to anyone that isn't unconscious in VR or projecting unless this is house rules.  This is how I understood it to work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wxwmXDyP0U (this whole series is pretty awesome just FYI) but since it's 2 meters tall I would think hopping off the roof would at least be an option.

If this is a house rule I will use a point of edge for the lucky cover and get behind that.  I hope I don't

[gilga]

Because you fired from there multiple times already, including once on these drones. The only thing protecting you was concealment and some basic disguise. This rendered detection impossible for a while due to -8  dice pool penalty (the drones only have 9 dice for it).  Once the concealment was gone it became automatic - suddenly all sensors pick up something there.
Think on the still warm sniper rifle from multiple shots, the two ladies on the rooftop where no life signs are expected, disguise only goes as long as you are not firing from there.


On the plus side, with so much attention to the outside, Kynos is unlikely to encounter reinforcements on his way inside.

Initiative order:

Smone: 25
Rigger Drone: 22
Drone1: 18
Drone2: 18
Drone3: 18
Drone4: 18

Irris,
Maxwell
Ignis

Modified Initiative is a 6 then.  Did I need to spend the edge or not?

[gilga]

Sure no problem on dropping from the roof as hit the dirt. A gymnastic (1) test to fall in a good manner tough. (You get cover anyway).  Even 2 meters are quite high when you are rolling due to gunfire rather than taking it slowly.  It will be -5 to initiative though, cool video by the way.

Smone: 25
Rigger Drone: 22
Drone1: 18
Drone2: 18
Drone3: 18
Drone4: 18
Irris: 10
Maxwell: 
Ignis:

No edge spent.

[Mulcarn]

Sovereign: Astral Initiative: 12+2d6 19

Extra Initiative: 1d6 5 - I forgot to add the extra die so my initiative should be 24.

Ignis: Astral Initiative: 16+3d6 28

Newly summoned spirits arrive "nearby" in astral space.  They need to spend an action to materialize.  Afterwards they switch to their physical initiative.

My Edge test will be an automatic fail because of Spell Sustainment.  How many soak tests am I making?  Two?  And whats the Armor Piercing value on the attack/s?

[Mercy Merchant]

OK.  As I understand it, I can use my free action and go prone to avoid any damage from the suppressive fire.  As the fire is only effective while the firer is not moving, does it go away as the drones close in?

[Ennui]

A hit the dirt action is an interrupt action and you get a -5 to your initiative,  Since it's a complex action to use suppressive fire the drones shouldn't be moving, but there is a patrol coming.  Gilga may have something else up his sleeve though so I could be wrong...I hate to assume but you have to do some of that when playing by post.

At least I'm getting the crap rolls out of the way I guess.
