Man, I need sleep. :( Kids are so fun... but a little bit less fun in the middle of the night.
Just so my tired mind gets this right: the spirit will possess the most northern guard when the two patrolling guards turn their backs to him, and will attack them, right?
That'd leave the guard closest to the stairs for Rafa. (at least, on this floor, that we know of)... The door from stairs to hallway, is it closed? (So would Rafa's surprise start when he opens the door to shoot the guard, or can they engage the moment he drops down?)

Not sure if the guards will turn their backs. I do not believe that possession is something that can go unnoticed. My exaple would be taking over the drivers seat by force, expecting that no one will notice. At least as far I know, or got the impresion from the books.
if you disagree, voice it, we can reach a consensus. my views are not cut in stone.

No, you're absolutely right. Possession is clearly visible unless the spirit has some power to hide it, afaik.
But Caretaker ordered:
Quote
Above, at the end of the corridor are four guards. One closer, two patrolling it and one at the farther end. When the two patrolling guards turn adn start moving toward the closer guard poses the one that is standing there, signal when you do and drop the two guards simultaneusly using non-lethal attacks.
Which I understood as: the two patrolling guards walk through the corridor. Once they turn southwards, the spirit will possess the one in the north (so behind their backs & out of their view) and engage them from behind.

Could be I got it all wrong...Or it could also be that they don't turn southwards, in which case the spirit won't engage... Guess if that's the case, Rafa will wait a moment, but if nothing happens, attack the guy in the south. When the others engage (for which they'd have to turn southwards), the spirit will carry out his orders...

But, again, could be I really misunderstood everything. Need sleep!!!

Addendum: Of course, you're controlling the spirit. If it is confused about its orders, who knows what it'll do.

his orders were to posses the guard and report to caretaker, that has happened, now he is waiting for new orders.
Sent put his plan in ooc, but I doubt I should act on it without giving him the chance to change it.

That's exactly the plan I was describing. If I wasn't clear enough in the IC, we're in the hands of GM :)
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Rolled Init a while back... (10+4 iirc) but I'll give you another. The second this was just fluff, but yeah, sure, I'll play :)

Init 10 + Surprise 6 -- Cha 2, Con 1, First Impression 2 (16d6.hits(5)=6, 5d6.hits(5)=3)

sorry that it took so long.

still debating with myself if i should use Freya, as it seems we lost Caramell for good.
Dragonfly is busy RL but wants to be part of this so i hope she will rejoin in the combat time.

Pool what you think i should do?

The guard has his agility and strength bumped by 4 - so he has 4 agility and 4 strength base of each (it can use passive cyberware - such as bone lacing)?
That's above average certainly, just wanted to make sure of that.

also, the spirit could probably charged both of the guards (if they moved the 2 meters away before he finished possession) using the impet to increase the damage or use called shot for damage to increase the damage on of the guard.

also kevlar bone lacing gives +1 not +2 on damage resitance rolls (not that it change anything on number of hits)

1) I know, they are not your average guards,

2) If he had charged he would have lost the surprise. if you want to take over the spirit control, you can, i just thought AalithHUH, or how it was unable to separate the characters so i took it as GM's responsibility, in you i have trust to separate the characters enough. :)

3) i stand corrected, the bonus to Armour changed to Ballistic, my mistake.

You are free to act on IP 1 on the lover floor as you like, and Rafa Can take a finishing move to get over with his guard but i doubt the spirit will manage 2 guards on his own.

Going to make a new map, did you move before combat started?
