tactical update

[Netzgeist]

It was half despairing and half hopefull when the guardian spirit closed in. If it really was an increasing danger, it also left the mage unprotected.
Thinking quickly, Fractal raised Sturm and risked a shot at the responsible for all this mess.

As the saying go: "Geek the mage!"

5 (Agility + Muscle Toner) + 3 (Pistols [Tasers]) + 2 (Smarlink) - 1 (Medium Range Modifier) - 1 (Stun Modifier) = 8 dice = 1 hit, no glitch
Another lousy shot...
Fractal fired Sturm, which is a Defiance EX Shocker; so the DV is 8S(e)

[Sentinemodo]

Enrico, moved slightly to avoid the shot, but even that was unnecessary.

You forgot about the modifier of -3 for being in melee range (two meters) from someone actively trying to block your attack. That knocked out the hit you got.

moving to the next IP.

[snake_eyes]

Upon Mouses' turn, he will instruct Wiz (Mouse's Fly Spy) to head back close to Eliza's house were we last had matrix communication with the surface, taking the data feed of the recon from Unca Omar's damaged Fly Spy and including this message:

Mr. Bob,
If you view the attached vid feed <<ARO: recon feed>>, we found the rest of your team--at least we are pretty sure we found the rest. We ran into an "Aztec Blood Mage" that seems to be hell bent on sacrificing visitors and cutting off their heads. <<ARO: map of tunnel not including the tunnel with the rail car to where mage is located>> Looks as though your team put a hurting on the mage and/or his minions prior to our arrival. We are currently engaged in combat with the mage. I estimate a 50% chance of finishing what they started.

Will make contact again as soon as (if) we are able.

As soon as Wiz reaches communication with the matrix, it is to send this message to Bob. If communication is not successful, then it will go futher back to where we jury rigged my satellite uplink into a rating 5 signal repeater. He will give Wiz the general path to take and waypoints to proceed on until it connects to the matrix and delivers its message or reaches the last waypoint Mouse gave it. In which case it will proceed on the same path back until it gets back to me.

Mouse will watch the feeds from D1, Dobbey, and Wiz (until out of range) from AR not wanting to interfere, but keeping an eye on what's going on. Meanwhile, he will see if the gernades Unca Sam gave him are identified as to which one is the flash bang and which is the neural toxin.

He is going to put his pistol back into it's arm slide, now that he has made sure it is ready to go.

Sam is up

[Kouryuu]

Sam understood that the grenade he threw was given back to them and was about to explode so he did what he felt like the best possibility to get rid of this mage.
Sam Invisible to the mage as he was lingered inside the corner and prepared a set of Charges to blow the chamber-door and trap the mage and his spirit, he actually used a whole  kilo of the plastic explosives the being should be large enough to collapse the living room completely, making sure that he would stay put for ever.
Then after inserting the Radio detonators he put the package behind the shelf in the corner, not only masking it but also keeping it out of the LOS of the enemies.
< "Sam20510516" - detonation code, Live well.> was sent out to the teams Group contact.
New determination was starting to mirror in Sam' eyes, he knew he might die, but he at least had to do something now, so other would not, so Fractal could get out.

[Sentinemodo]

Flashbang grenade explodes

In range of 10 meters are Fractal and Sam. Both are safe from the flash effect, as they are turned the opposite way, but the bang effect affect them both.
Fractal get -2 to his damage resistance rolls due to his hightened audio sensitivity.

actually, if you have audio enhancemnet they should be considered negative modifer, because you are constantly in the searching mode, and have your senses alerted, so I assume you also use  the equipment available, but I'll let it go.

unless proven otherwise, the spirit is immune to stun damage

Damage Value 6S, AP -3.
Resistance Body + Impact armor - ArmorPiercing(3)

Sam, If you surivive, make a demolitions roll treshold is one. Make a roll even if you could buy it. Just in case a glitch happen.

[Netzgeist]

3 (Body) + 1 (Impact Armor 4 - 3 AP) - 2 (Hearing Enhancement Bioware) = 2 dice = 0 hits

Fractal perceived the flash explosion, even though it's visual effect was considerably reduced by his glasses. But what he really felt was the air compression causing the sonic boom; his eardrums felt like they were the ones exploding, and in pain Fractal is not sure if his timpanic membranes hadn't been fractured. Of the fight around him, he can only hear a buzzing sound.

Fractal
{Health: 0 / 10P and 9 / 10S damage, 0 Wound penalty, -3 Stun penalty}
{Edge: 3/ 4} {Initiative(Meat/Matrix): 7/18; IP's: 1/3}
{Armor Vest: Ballistic Armor: 6; Impact Armor: 4}

[Sentinemodo]

demolitions roll -> 9d6.hits(5)=1

damage resistance -> 9d6.hits(5)=4 + re-rolling misses 5d6.hits(5)=3 -> 7 hits

Sam was attaching detonator, when the grenade exploded. The doors that he has been rigging flew him to the wall. It hurt, but not as much as it would had he been in open like Fractal. His armor absorbed the impact, and he went out from the doors more or less unharmed. Plus he managed to rig the doors with a bomb.
