We're not really in combat yet, normal surprise would be kind of pointless... I kind of like this solution 

[Sichr]

well, I dont think Initiative matters then...maybe better save rolls for next CT.

Mechanics discussion.

Initiative isn't going to matter for this combat turn - no bad guys directly interacting.

If everyone had failed the threshold you'd have been interrupted by someone running in saying "we're under attack". There are a couple of other things that would have changed as well

I did make one error and will live with it. I should have given you all a modification to the hearing perception. -2 for distracted, -2 for the noise generator (-1 for Rafa due to location), -2 for distance and barriers, +2 for volume and quantity. Net -6 (-5 for Rafa).

I realized the error while driving to the next client, and decided to add one to the threshold.

Maps later today, to include the outside situation for someone smart enough to leave a loitering spydrone outside.  Because the jammer got turned off I'll assume Mutt's sharing with everyone.

pah..sorry for me being picking, I got certification audit tomorow so Im kind of irritated about everything related to systems, rules etc

[kirk]

eh - been there. And as I've noted a time or two, I'm a relative neophyte at this ruleset. I've got no problem with "you made a mistake."

Doesn't necessarily mean I'll fix it, but at least I can avoid it next time (grin).

Holidays are surprisingly busy.

The post in IC is so you can progress. It does not have either map, and for that I apologize.

You have a basic building map, and the post in IC gives a basic description of outside. I intend for you to have maps before you actually need them.

The fastest I can promise is Sunday, however. I pick up my daughter from college tomorrow, and will spend much of my day with my family after that. If time and circumstances allow I'll give you all something Friday or Saturday.

I'm going to thank you all in advance for your patience.

Enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

[Sichr]

hh. Ive been to london 4 of 5 years back at this time, and meet some nice girl from Texas. I forgot this US celebration, so I was asking her what she celebrates. She answers:
Thanksgiving, this day we celebrate the day Christoph Colombo on his ship Mayflower discovered America.
After I heard "Mayflower", I recalled pilgrims and such, but it was royal ROFL and I asked her, if she ever heard of Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria. She got insulted a bit and no fuck was given that evening...well...maybe it`s better that way

Have a good celebration...and for god sake...tell your children what do they celebrate

Who's attacking by the way? Looks like a gang, or looks like KE or something?

And do they have a mage with them as far as I can see on the footage?

[Thermo]

geek the mage, hack the APC, shoot the drone, blast the survivors 

and as long as someone's got eyes on the parking lot, Boris's Harley BETTER be in decent shape. Or he's going to eat somebody's face off.

Maps.

Interior

Exterior

Notes.
Interior: only what you've seen is drawn.  Doors show direction of opening. Note I show the exterior doors found by various prior recons.

Exterior: I've left the four outside doors off. I didn't put the vehicles in the parking lots. I will if we need it. The building and grounds is all there is to that 'block' -- surrounded by streets on all sides.

Quick response, most of which I'll work into the IC thread tomorrow.

When you look out the door of the meeting room you see the access hallway. The door at the far end that leads to the lobby is closed. The door next to you that leads you-know-not-where is closed.

There is no obvious mage, at least that you can see at this time.

Can't see anything astrally outside the room because the walls are opaque.

I'll check my node info for the vehicle data tomorrow -- it isn't hidden, it's just a matter of making sure I'm not messing up matrix rules letting you see it now.

If I've checked the clock right everyone's finished what I'm calling combat turn zero.  If you've not done anything -- or in the case of the three unsurprised still have IPs left -- let me know. 

I'll call for initative rolls along with giving out info I owe sometime tomorrow.

Oh - anybody who has a vehicle in the front parking lot might find a few bullet holes later. I'm waiting to see just what sort of battle comes out of this before I roll for incidental. If I have to go to the level of actually placing vehicles, well, then we'll see what fun develops. the good news is that so far nobody's rammed any motorcycles... (grin)

Info on the building we're in (more specifically, its construction) might be useful too in case we decide to create a new exit Doors are wood, metal, plastic, glass? Walls are brick, plaster, concrete?

[farothel]

Can we use the initiative rolls we've done for this round which were not necessary?

Also I won't be online much this week-end, as there's a gaming fair where I'll be.  Don't count on me on Saturday, I'll try something Sunday evening.
