Ryker seeing that the spirit is materalizing thinks to himself that he has already back down from a mage once today, and isn't about to let that happened again.After all he has only been on 1 run with this team and hasn't yet proven he is capable of handling magic threats. That ends here. As he looks at the air spirit, "tou pick the wrong mage on the wrong day" and begins to cast a manabolt at it. He also has the spirit of air attack the new spirit.

@Team: Good news and bad news. The bad is the camera spoof stopped and security has been alerted. The good news is that the cameras aren't showing your presence. <<<ARO: map of store showing the main door they came in and the door leading downstairs>>>. I don't see any other ways out (unless you can shrink down to the size of a rat.)

I send a copy of the Rating 4 Hacking Suite I got from Red Wire to Omar and create a security account for him to use to get to the Red Wire node.
@Omar: one hacking suite coming your way and a security account.

On recieving the Message from Ryker
SV@Ryker >Affirmative<
Sam Starts to go downstairs taking the biggest box of the BTL's he can get under his arm, while still being able to use his taser with the other. Maybe downstairs he will find something more, like the second guards comlink or some better Loot. Or just a different way out. While still watching the radar and his surroundings he starts to descend to the ground floor of the shop. the Sounds of the ensuing battle are barely audible, or maybe it's just the sound of more participants arriving, Sam was no expert on that, and too far down the stairs to really see what was going on, he just hoped that the battle would not attract more attention then needed, the last thing they need right now is to make enemies with the Triads.

Meanwhile in the physical world Sams has moved to the lower level of the shop.

Sams ends up on the stairs and has access to both levels if needed.

back on the physical plane of the world in the red wire office someone raised a thin glowing magic wall along the entire wall on the lower level.

Within the office a mage stood against the powerful spirit bringing his own to aid.

Ryker's damage resistance 2 (per the roll in OOC) 3S. Due to nausea, all wound modifiers are doubled. Also make rolls for sustaining the invisibility spells (Spellcasting + Willpower (2) Test, apply wound modifiers only x2 due to nausea).

Ryker's spirit blocked the line of attack for the enemy spirit, and both engaged in the vicious combat.

the attacks are simultaneus

Enemy spirit attacks: Agility[8] + Unarmed Combat[5] + Edge[5] -> 18d6.hitsopen(5,6)=15
Ryker's spirit defense: Reaction[9] + Dodge[5] + Edge[5] -> 19d6.hitsopen(5,6)=8 HIT with net of 7 hits
Damage value - 3S + 6 -> 9S
Ryker's spirit damage resistance 8d6.hitsopen(5,6)=2 2 SOAKED 7 LEFT

Ryker's spirit uses his elemental attack power to blast away the enemy spirit. Since there is no description for elemental air attack I'll rule, that additional effect for air attack is to push back the enemy and/or pin it to the surface if there is one. This is resisted like unarmed attack to subdue.
Agility[8] + Exotic Ranged Weapon[5] + Edge[5] - Ranged attack while in melee[3] -> 15d6.hitsopen(5,6)=9 + Target in Point Blank[2] -> 2d6.hitsopen(5,6)=0 -> total 9 hits

Enemy spirit defense Reaction[9] + Edge[5] 14d6.hitsopen(5,6)=6 HIT with net of 3 hits
Damage value - 5P + 2P
Enemy spirit damage resistance Body[3] + Edge[5] -> 8d6.hitsopen(5,6)=3 3 SOAKED 4 LEFT
Since 4 is greater than an Enemy spirit's Body[3] it is considered to be subdued.

Ryker's spirit have 3S left, -2 for all further rolls due to damage, and 2/5 EDGE left
Enemy spirit have 6P damage left, -1 for all further rolls due to damage and is currently subdued, and 2/5 EDGE left
Moreover, Enemy spirit acted twice in this round and Ryker's spirit only once, so it won't act during next initiative pass.

A deadly swipe of an air formed whip blasted through the Ryker's spirit almost ruining it in a single strike, when the a blast of air pushed it back (as well as boxes with BTL) and pinned to the wall.

In the matrix of the RedWire shop node a storm of blows fell upon the fail sprite.

back on the physical plane of the world in the red wire office someone raised a thin glowing magic wall along the entire wall on the lower level.

Within the office a mage stood against the powerful spirit bringing his own to aid.

On my turn...
Seeing the wall start to glow through the camera feeds on the lower level...
@Team: Either the cameras are malfunctioning or the walls on the lower level are glowing <<ARO: camera view of the walls.>> There is a lower window, but it seems to be glowing as well. The only other way out appears to be the main entrance <<ARO: upper and lower level store maps.>>
Things don't seem to be going well for the team inside, so I think I need to see if I can get into that guard's com link.
@Omar: I've got a fault agent clawing away in the Red Wire node. There are 2 spiders, 3 attack IC, and 1 analyze IC. Looks like they are getting close to figuring out my stealth algorithm so I am going to go for the guard's com link.

Mouse logs into the guards com link as public user and logs off the Red Wire node. Mouse will then proceed to hack on the fly to grant security credentials and then admin credentials. If I'm not mistaken, the log on and log off are two complex actions. (Or can I log off, then on?)

[Sentinemodo]

Back in the shop Sam tried to hurt the spirit by hitting it hard in melee combat

Sams attack:
Willpower[4] + Opponent subdued[3] + Edge[4] -> 8d6.hitsopen(5,6)=6 + 3d6.hitsopen(5,6)=1 TOTAL 7 hits
Spirit's defense Reaction[7] + Dodge[5] - Subdued[2] - Wounded[1] + Edge[5] 14d6.hitsopen(5,6)=4
Damage Value 4P + 2
Spirit damage resistance Body[3] + Edge[5] -> 8d6.hitsopen(5,6)=1 1 SOAKED 5 LEFT

Enemy spirit have 1P damage left, -3 for all further rolls due to damage and is currently subdued, and EDGE depleted
