Lips: Why dont you use your weapon foci? Just for curriosity? BGC doesnt affect it, so it is available, well Ive noticed that you turned it off previously

[Larzarus]

Background Count does effect Foci.

    Pre-existing   wards,   mana   barriers,   active   foci,   sustained   
spells,   and   quickened/anchored   spells   are   similarly   affected.   
Reduce   their   Force   by   the   absolute   value   of   the   background   
count.   If   the   Force   is   reduced   to   zero   or   less,   wards   and   mana   
barriers    will    collapse,    foci    will    deactivate,    and    spells    will   
fizzle.   The    enchantment    on    a    quickened/anchored    spell    or

Is this barrier a wall or more roundly shaped like the visible part of a ball?

Latter would suggest, Lips can't fly around it through the walls to first attack the protecting guard spirit.

[Sentinemodo]

The guardian spirit stepped out of the protecting barrier.
The barrier itself is part of a ball around a center being the sacrifice circle.

Ah...
Understand. Maybe a technical pause to clear something out:
Negative background count affects foci. Well negative background count will affect everyone here, despites traditions. What we have here is domain. Positive background count Aspected to some tradition. Affects other traditions as negative dicepool. Well it speaks about affecting characters, IDN is you can have Foci affected by tradition.

So this are two different things:
Negative BGC: 0 to -xxx : affects anyone, including foci etc
Aspected possitive BGC: depends on tradition or nature of Aspected domain...may be possitive or negative for character.

[Sentinemodo]

Since you need to Bind a foci to the character, you spend Karma on it, you atttune it for use with a given tradition.

The answer is yes BGC affect Foci.

[Sichr]

OK
As for that pictur..
Wasnt it necessary for D1 to be able to fire at dhe dog to inside the room? It is quite fast but it looks like that it stopped inside some corridor...?
Edit: I also posted that D1 passed through those opened doors...

[Sentinemodo]

is it as it should be now?

You got LOS toward Enrico, but -2 for being in melee

[Sichr]

affirmative

not that I like this possitionmuch more, I hear hellsbells there, well what Ive said Ive said, so no pulling punches   

[Netzgeist]

Lousy, lousy roll for a lousy, lousy action...

Well, there's one thing that I think I overlooked, and now I need to ask (if needed, I change the last action): I don't know if it's possible to do an Attack of Will with just a simple action (it's not explicitly stated if it takes a Simple Action or a Complex Action, but I guess it would be a Complex one, since it's said that "When in melee with a spirit, a character may elect to make an attack of will rather than a normal melee strike", and since a Melee attack is a complex action, I believe I made a mistake).

[Kouryuu]

Sent, are there other ways out of the chamber Sam knows of due the radar or is there only this one?

trapping the mage seems the only tactical option with minimum risk and maximum effect, but it will take time until we can get the bodies.

also can fractal close the door or is the spirit blocking them?

yep, that's complex. I'm removing my post also.

Doors are opening to the inside of the laboraty chamber. Fractal kicked them in, and now they are blocked both by the guardian spirit, and by drone.

There are no other ways to this chamber. The tunnel probably was meant to lead somewhere, when it was built, but at some point the work was abandoned and it is now a deadend that Enrico adapted for his laboratory.

at least the outer ones can be closed right?
