Hyena wondered what this was going to give.  You shouldn't let yourself be intimidated, but what Iceblade did was going a bit beyond that.  She was sure that by tonight the entire city would know about this.  She was quite sure there were normally no dragons in Lagos.  The polution and the background count in a lot of places was not to their liking.  For now she waited, ready to go at the first sign of trouble.

@Iceblade: you notice that everyone in the entire place is staring at you. You're huge, scaled, and talking in a booming voice. You notice that your sponsor, Jane, is staring at you with wide eyes. She doesn't look fearful. She doesn't even look surprised. She looks seriously pissed off. You immediately get a message on your commlink sent through your team's common channel: "Don't let any video footage leave this room or we're all screwed!!"

@Jerry: you notice that there is a lot of interference being broadcast from somewhere nearby. You realize that there's some kind of signal jammer nearby. It's a rough and unsophisticated jammer, but it's got a big power supply and will block transmissions from just about any off-the-shelf commlink. This airport is under constant threat of terrorist bombs (and corporate bombs.. and, well, pretty much everyone around here has access to bombs and has the willingness to use them.) The jammer will stop people from broadcasting any video out of the area, but not if they make a run for it and leave the building. There doesn't appear to be anyone who is holding up their commlink to capture anything on video, but there are three civilians that look like they are likely to have the money to afford cybereyes. All three appear to be part of the same group, and they're currently struggling to avoid being knocked over by the throng of people trying to run.

Looking around, you see that the Igbo's are scattering like ants. Several are starting to unlimber AK-97's from their shoulder straps, but everyone is running for cover. There is a row of mouldering cargo boxes along one side of the hangar on the opposite side of the hangar as the vendors. The Igbo are making a run for the boxes, planning to dive behind them and use them as cover. The slender motorcycles that have been zipping through the crowd all try to make a run for it at the same time, driving into passengers and each other and making a huge pileup in the middle of the airport. The drivers kick up clouds of red dust from the floor everywhere they land, the motorcycle wheels kicking up dust and spraying it all over. The airport is a mess.

@Hyena: you notice that there is a camera panning slowly back and forth in the corner of the building above the mouldering boxes. There's a cord running down the wall, disappearing through a hole in the wall next to a solid-looking wood door. The door is squarely behind the area where the Igbo are headed. The camera is panning slowly, especially with your superhuman reflexes, but you realize that you only have a few seconds before it captures the group on video.

What do you do?

"Camera," Hyena said through the comms before she leaped into action.  It looked as if it was still a wired camera, so she rushed to the closest location where she could yank the cord out, or at least disconnect it from the camera.


agility 7 (8-1 default) + edge 3= 10 (10d6.hitsopen(5,6)=3)
I make it.
Also, I don't mind that the Igbo are coming my way.  Yoruba and Igbo are not always the best of friends, so busting a couple of Igbo heads is not a real problem for Hyena.

@Hyena: roll gymnastics+agility(3) to leap over the mouldering boxes and rip out the cord. Just so you know, you're jumping into the area that the Igbo are running towards to take cover. They're stumbling over their own feet, so you might have time to leap over and back out again before they get around the boxes.

Iceblade cursed under his breath. Well, THAT didn't go as I hoped it would. Dropping the mask spell, he instead drew his katana, and concentrated for a moment. And then he changed. It wasn't a physical change, but suddenly his visage was that of a creature with all black, unfeeling eyes, teeth that never seem to stop chewing, and bullet nose. It was a shamanic mask and it marked Iceblade as a follower of Shark. All about him the air suddenly rippled with cold. When he spoke, it both was and was not his voice, having some kind of weird duality you it. "My master suggests that if we leave no witnesses, we can edit the footage as we like to remove our identities. Even to place the blame on some other group, if we wish."

Summoning a Force 5 Water Spirit. I get 2 hits.
9d6.hits(5)=2
Spirit gets 0 hits. No drain, and I get two services out of it. Spirit also critically glitched the roll. Don't know how you want to play that.
5d6.hits(5)=0
EDIT: Resisting 2 drain. No drain.
8d6.hits(5)=3

Spirit possesses me. Additional power is Energy Aura (Cold). I get +5 to all physical attributes, meaning my Physical track moves to 12. I have Immunity to Normal Weapons 10. I'll be rolling 17 dice to attack with the blade, doing 11P+net hits Cold damage, -half AP. Someone hitting me in melee has to resist 5P Cold, -half Impact.

<OOC> Edited my post. Current stats listed in my sheet. Don't know if it matters, but the spirit critically glitched the roll to resist summoning.

Jerry observed the situation while staring at the his commlink.
Jammer made the things a little harder, but still he issued a simple command to his FlySpy drone. "Close to the gound fly to those three people. Follow them. Detect nodes."  Simultaneusly his took out Predator and kneeled on his knee.


simple action - issue command
simple action - ready weapon
free action - kneel down

Oh yes, yes, yes. Of course it matters.

You notice that the spirit that has possessed you doesn't seem to have the same level of control as other similar spirits that you've summoned before. Something seems.. off.

The spirit owes you one additional service. Its lack of focus means it has a harder time resisting your demands.

As you speak, a huge cone of frost suddenly shoots from your mouth, briefly obscuring your vision and covering everything in front of you with a shower of ice crystals. You shift your weight, and realize that frost has covered the ground beneath you, apparently spreading from your boots.

Every IP, you need to roll a 6-sided die. If it comes up 1, something negative happens. If you roll a 6, something beneficial (or at least entertaining) happens.

Looking down at the ice spreading at his feet, Iceblade spirit said, "Interesting, there is some change in reaction to taking this body."

Hyena jumped over some boxes, took out her vibroknife (no need to bring out the big guns yet) and quickly cut the connection to the camera.  As this was Lagos, it probably wasn't wireless equiped yet.  In fact, the camera looked older then she did.


As I'm second in the initiative order (as far as I've seen) and my next action is quite simple, I've gone ahead and posted it.  I don't think I need to roll something to cut a wire, but if so, let me know in the OOC and I'll do so.
initiative 10 (10d6.hits(5) =4) => 14 initiative
