Thvor you figure 4 kilos of commercial grade explosive would do it. Dude to limited time you think running wires to the charge would be better than a wireless detonator. Also your delivery package you want a vehicle shell/abandoned vehicle to hide the charges.


edit:

I'm guessin we can't bring the overpass down on them eh mon......What? Just an idea eh 

Ummm you'd need about 200 kilos of commercial grade and 5 hours to set that up .

I never said all my ideas were winners mon

I was letting Thvor have an idea what that would take.

[Marak1972]

Well..... it is within the timeframe but do we have the necessary boom boom to accomplish that mon. Probably not ....hmmmm a wee troll with killing hands and invisblility would do some damage to an engine block....right??

[Thvor]

I'm guessin we can't bring the overpass down on them eh mon......What? Just an idea eh 

Ummm you'd need about 200 kilos of commercial grade and 5 hours to set that up .

Well, commercial is rating 3...since the DV is (according to the RAW, though the IED/demolitions rules are a major mess) based on the square root of the number of tons used times the rating, 200 kg of rating 3 is about equal to 18 kg of rating 10, or 8 kg of rating 15 foam explosive...

Nope, still don't have enough.

And, of course, that's ignoring the fact that bringing down a freeway might make the cops take a bit more interest in us than we'd like. 

Serious, how about placing charges to take down walls and strew rubble in front of and behind the convoy to keep them from driving away once bullets start flying? Or turning the road into a massive, flaming pothole?

[Netzgeist]

It seems like our best bet... At least for now, without knowing what kind of help the other runners will bring to the front.

[Marak1972]

Agreed

Creating a pot hole or any hole would take a larger amount of explosives because breaking through the street and all. So probably not. As for a wall you could knock down there is the on ramp that has concrete sound barrier (20ft high wall) that lies next to it. If you stopped the hummer it would block the front and the wall behind would cause problems for the backup car, maybe even stop it.

"ding ding ding I think we have a winner mon!!"

[Crossbow]

A manually operated turret in a Hummer means an exposed gunner, easily removed from the initial attack by a sniper, though just as easily replaced by other passengers in the vehicle.  IEDs in the road are another option.

If it is appropriately timed, we could just go for separating the two, blow a power pole or a streetlight or multiples of the same, move a vehicle in to cut off retreat of the cargo and deal with occupants.  Something less geographically dependant.

Serious, Rybka would like to acquire some things on her way home, and I'd like to know if you allow it:

First things first, there are three items that she could probably found on any clothes shop:
A Urban Explorer Jumpsuit (Avaliability 8, price 500¥), modified to have color changing and AR enhanced features (both are in Attitude, pg. 160, and have no avaliability modifier; the first adds 175 nuyen to the total price and the second adds 25 nuyen, so the whole item would cost 700 ¥).
Women's Modez (Attitude, pg. 163 and 166) - Avaliability 4, price 80¥
Microweave Spider (Attitude, pg. 163 and 166) - Avaliability 5, price 500¥

Just in this, she would be spending 1280 nuyen.

And then, she would try to find some drug dealer which could sell her medication to stabilize bi-polar condition. It does not present an avaliability rating, but runner's companion lists it's price on the legal market as 500 nuyen (which suffice for a one month treatment).

Is it possible for her to get these things?

Urban explore is an ok, but I don't have Attitude so what does those other things do?

500 yen for a month and yes you find it.

I will copy the references to them:

When players are buying clothes, there are features they can add to make clothes what they want them to be.
AR enhanced: allows for the projecting of an augmented overlay. Basic clothing just has RFiD tags for advertising. one step up from there is preprogrammed aR advertising. Players can either crack the aR advertising to replace it with what they want, or just buy programmable aR clothing. aR enhanced clothes are considered a device rating 2 node, and it adds 25 nuyen to the cost of any item of clothing.
Color changing: advanced fi ber optics provide an option for color-changing clothes. Woven into the clothing, it does relatively the same job as ruthenium polymers in allowing the adjustment of light projected from the clothes. apply a –2 dice pool modifier to Perception tests to see the wearer when used for camoufl age, and it adds 175 nuyen to the cost of any item of clothing.

There are more features there, but these are the ones in question. Now the other things:

Modez is a relatively new brand of shoes that kind of gives you two pairs in one. Using smart metal composites, the wearer can make the shoes transform into a diferent pair in a matter of seconds. Each of the pairs of Modez shoes for women can change from flats to heels as the composite sole adjusts to one of its other states.

MICROWEAVE SPIDER
 This spider drone is a tailor’s best friend. Six of the eight legs have secondary functionality of sewing needles and micro manipulators.  It's mandible is a scissor device for cutting the threads. Its body has two components; one is for thread to weave a tear shut or to create a web for the missing fabric.  The other component is a fabric glue that, when heated, bonds to existing material. If you have replacement fabric, the spider will trim the piece to the correct specications and use both the glue and thread to patch the hole. The MW spider does a great job at making the patch seamless. MW Spider has a deluxe upgrade, which can also repair fiber optics.

MicroWeave Spider
Despite the “micro” in its name, the MicroWeave spider is a small drone with a built-in repair kit for clothing.
Std Upgrades: special Equipment (Clothing repair kit)
Women’s Modes: Provides +1 bonus to disguise skill if the character has the skill.

Item                           Device Rating           Avaliability         Cost

Most things are more for style than anything.

Just in case MArak is packing all his guns for this , cuz this can go up that creek or it can be cake. Always good to be prepared.
