I like to think of spirits like sentient beings, meaning a NPC from player perspective.
If you give me a good enough reason why it should feel like going there with 150%, then you can ad edge,  but so wll the Rat, in that case. :)

roll it, by the way, this time you will get it, because i intend to get it rolling again :)

Rafa was ready to shoot the smaller ones the second he notices something weird going on with the rats... So he'll probably shoot (at least one of) them the moment he does. When that happens depends on when he notices caretaker's magic.

Well, if I'll be dealing with PC I'd just tell him. Rafa, reroll with edge. and it would be sufficient.
There is no other reason then to make your action successful and there is no point in being lucky if you don't use your luck.

Anywya - not sure what I need to roll.
So I'll make a a reroll (7d6),  roll another attempt (10d6), reroll with edge (15d6 exploding dices).

7d6.hits(5)=2
10d6.hits(5)=4
15d6.hitsopen(5,6)=9

On any turn. Unless the reroll is made, I give another command in my second IP to retry using another service. If Rafa kills or severely injure alpha rat, I'll ask the spiriti to possess the lesser rat.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Seeing I had to spend edge just to make sure the second shot wasn't in Rafa's own foot, it'd kinda be cheating to say it never happened. Targeting the second rat instead, -1 die because of second target doesn't really change the result of the first or the re-roll., so 3 hits.
Would activating the Flash Pak on Rafas shoulder be a free action (eg. it having signal 0 and thus it's a simple thought to turn it on) or a simple action (flipping a switch/pressing a button). If it's the second, turn it on, the bright lights might bother the rats. If not, Rafa will hope his armor is tough enough to hold out for a while, and the shock frills should give common rats a fun surprise. *grin*

5 more? Nice....
Kind of lost on the situation at hand though. What's the effect of the normal rats, some kind of dice pool modifier? The incoming devil rats, does he have LOS to them yet? Can at this moment only shoot the second rat (and the possessed Alpha)?

the normal rats - They are just there, making it hard for you to move surrounding you.
The incoming DevilRats are in the sewers, some 50m away, but closing fast.
you can shot the small ones and the surviving Devilrat, and of course the Apha male as well.

I am thinking on my next move. But the possessed alpha have on his. Disposal command rats and confusion powers. He can eiither use it against five incoming devil rats or command the ordinary ones to fight among themselves.

Faro,
You leave me much to do, have some good time in your holidays ;)

It was a good holiday, unfortunately too short.  I'm still moving a bit like I'm on the boat (land sickness they call it apparently) but I'm back.  I'll try to catch up as soon as possible.

Xzy: I'm not sure what Rafa is carrying in the way of weapons, but if it has full auto, maybe do covering fire.  It's only the weapon's base damage, but every rat in the target area should test and I doubt they have that much body.  You should be able to put down a lot of them within a couple of turns.

Kicking and crushing rats underfoot, Rafa made a short sprint and leaped on top of the crates in the corner. Being stuck in a corner when heavily outnumbered wasn't usually good strategy, but in the center of the room they could easily surround him while in the corner they might get in each others way and at least couldn't attack him in the back.
"Pudding, huh? You really could do that? Think you could do it to me in a tub and then hocuspocus the two girls to have 'em wrestle in it?" He laughed loudly, aiming his rifle in the direction the rats would be coming from. "Man, sure wouldn't mind being smeared all over Freya's body..."

Just hope this is not on the open line, then the rats would be the smallest problem for the Rafa if it was,
i think  ;D

Think he gets to act starting next turn... no?

@Farothel: Yeah, Full Auto would be nice, but Rafa's only got a rifle which even if it could fire that fast, doesn't even hold enough bullets ;) Flash Pak should annoy them though... considering dropping a smoke grenade too, though I'm wondering how that would work in combination with the flashpak. White flashing cloud might work as much against Rafa than it does against the rats... *shrug*
