Panther followed Rafa.  While she was at her best on the matrix, this was clearly what he did best, so he could take the lead.

I also have audio enhancers rating 2, so if it should be an audio perception test, the dicepool is the same.

Rafa Quickly identified a few possible escape routes.
  • jumping on the roof of a lower adjutant building
  • jumping into a full trash container
  • climbing down along a rain drainage pipe
  • using the old rusty fire escape
  • Rafa - Climbing down the wall(others not so much)

Quote from: OOC
The fire escape strikes as the numerous uno decision, unless you take in account that at a few places its not anymore supported by the wall next to it, it might hold, but it might also crash down with anyone trying to use it. Then there is a old and quite sturdy looking drainage pipe, the only problem is that you would have to know how to climb down using it as support, and not forgetting the strengths needed for it.
If you fancy your luck you can risk jumping into the trash - it might be soft and break your fall, but it also you could be full with broken glass.
the rooftop is quite near, 1m jump and it is around 2 m bellow the roof of the club. its a easy jump. what to do after getting on that roof?

Also sorry for the delay, just got to Germany, more precise to some internet in Germany. From now on there should be the same shacuale - at least once a day posting.

"There's a fire escape. Looks a bit dodgy but it should hold if we don't go all together. Could climb down the drainpipe too, looks more sturdy then those stairs if you ask me. Panther, if you ain't up to climbing and don't wanna risk the stairs or jumping into a trash container, I could jus' lower ya with some rope if you want. Mister bodyguard, I don't suppose you need any help climbing?"
No people on the backside of the building. Rafa was glad they could make a clean exit.

"Maybe we better jump over to the next roof and then come down from that in the following alley.  It puts even more space between us and the club.  If it's possible?"

"Sure, it ain't far. Maybe a meter or so and only one floor. Even if you couldn't jump, I could toss you."
Rafa was pretty sure dwarf-tossing was considered racist but didn't think the same rule applied to elves.
"Want me to scout ahead and see if there's a good way down from there?"

"Let's first put some room between us and the police," Panther said, "we can always climb down from the other building into this alley, if no other option presents itself."

Ahuechei appears a little belatedly carrying Caretaker's body comfortably across his shouders.
"Sorry, I was ensuring we haven't left anything or anybody behind. But we need to go, rápido. They're coming."
He assessed the possibilities of escape and turned to Rafa:
"I think the fastest way out is that roof. Do you prefer tossing or catching  a dwarf?" the elf added with a broad grin.

"okay, let's jump," Panther said, "you're already carrying the dwarf, you can toss him."

OOC: I'm going to wait until everyone has rolled perception before doing my jump, as those go at the same time and it can affect my action.

Rafa picked one of the credsticks he'd just found out of his pockets and after checked its balance, he emptied it into his own account and charged it with 500 nuyen.
"Some people in there, could be gangers. Better than cops and we're runnin' outta time..." He easily jumped on the roof of the building next door.
"'kay, I'll catch. What the drek's wrong with him?"

"He was doing something in the astral," Panther said, "we'd better not move too far, or he might not find his body back.  Watch out, I'm coming over as well."
She moved back a bit and make a running jump.

as it's a 1 meter gap, I should just clear it.

Rafa and Panther make the jump. Panther just barley makes it, nothing to compare to the flip mid air Rafa is making.

Upon landing on the roof you can feel the structural integrity of the house, or more likely the lack of it. It feels like a troll would fall right trough the roof. Some places of the roof have been patched up with boards and some plastics to keep the water out. there is a access hatch not 5m from where you are, but one more jump would bring you to ground level anyway.

The sirens in the background starts to become even louder. The clock is ticking. Where to next?

"Geez girl, you need to get into better shape.", Rafa remarked as he reached out to grab Panther's clothes to prevent her from falling backwards.
"Think you guys are up to some more rooftop runnin' or wanna risk trying to find some cover inside with the gang? Don't really wanna get down on the streets this close just yet..."

"Ya spot any incoming 'copters with your gizmo's?"
, he asked while peering into the sky around him, looking for the same.

"you're the expert, so I'll follow you," Panther said, "and the only thing I see right now are a couple of camera drones, but this is LA."


OOC: what do I need to roll to see if there is more.  I assume there's camera drones as there always are in LA.

The night sky was earie, almost static, the energy was pulsating. But there is no sign of a chopper or any other Flying police vehicle.

Quote from: OOC
to see trough cameras you need to find them first, then scroll trough them - that takes some time a few min at least in AR.
roll for detecting nodes. and analyze to finding ones with video feed then checking them all(hacking in and seeing the feed)

14 CT left until the Police arrives - 42 sec

Also i rolled for Dragonfly, she did get the throw and the jump down no prob, even with a small pool :) so you can keep running, hide or anything else. :)

(thanks Kour. So, while I'm in my homeland and don't have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for internet...)

"Olé!" Ahuechei cried out while swinging the dwarf to get him high enough in the air so Rafa could catch him. Caretaker's body was uncomfortably limp and heavy, he looked all but dead, and Ahuechei felt the urge to check his vitals every once and then to make sure their companion was still with them. In a way, that is.
Caretaker swooped up in the air, his limbs swinging lifelessly, flying towards Rafa's outstretched arms.
The sirens were getting ever closer and making him restless. Ahuechei followed his companions.
"Where to now? Down?" he asked.
