@Kontact:

That's almost always how I do it.  FA is ineffective without mad recoil comp.  So it's recoil -5 for first longburst, and then -8 for the second short burst.  9 bullets spent total.  Takes two simple actions.  That's what Spiderman just did at Olivier...check the post where i rolled that.

6d6.hitsopen (5,6)=3

And....I think I'm screwed, here's my willpower roll.

3d6.hits(6)=0

Second roll has 1 hit (5's are hits).

Also, I think you forgot a +1 DP from you Synaptic Booster (Should've been 7d6 instead of 6d6 on the Reaction).

I'm pretty sure you missed a die on your dodge roll.  Reaction is 3(4), yeah?
Not that it matters too much, but that's another 1d6.hitsopen (5,6) to roll.  If playing risk has taught me anything, you can roll a bajillion 6s in a row.

Alternately, since you've got 7 dice vs 7 hits, you could conceivably spend a point of edge to get the 7 dice and burn a permanent point of edge for an automatic success.

It's just, there's no way Oliver isn't carrying HMHVV-III with all the ghouls around.  If Woofer lives, he's going to be eating people for the rest of his life.

And... since we're going there ;)
The Infection power:
Quote from: SR4A, p. 295
The Infection power allows a critter with Essence Drain to infect any suitable creature it has drained to 0 Essence with the strain of the HMHVV virus it is carrying.

To drain Essence:
Quote from: SR4A, p. 294
     The critter cannot drain from a resisting victim; the victim must either participate willingly, or be subdued into helplessness (restrained, paralyzed, knocked unconscious, mentally controlled, etc.). Essence transfer only occurs in the presence of strong emotion. This can be a lover’s passion, the terror of an unwilling victim, or the rage of a defeated enemy, for example. The emotions must be strong, and they must be focused personally on the critter using the power. Sometimes the transfer of a token amount of physical material takes place, such as blood for a vampire or flesh for a wendigo, though this usually serves to enhance the passion or terror of the moment.
     Draining a point of Essence takes a Charisma + Magic (10 – target’s Essence, 1 minute) Extended Test. If the critter is disturbed or interrupted before this test ends, the Essence point is not drained. The critter may drain as many points of Essence as it currently possesses, with a minimum of 1 point. A critter can only increase its Essence to twice its natural maximum.

Woofer's got 4.35 essence, Olivier's got to restrain him/knock him out, then drain him to 0 Essence, which would take 4-5 (depending if you round up or down) Magic + Charisma Extended Tests, each one with a 1 minute period.

@Kontact:

Yeah, he can't get his essence drained down.  Olivier's idea is for him to only get a taste of what it's like.  I'll say you can safely assume Ollie brushed his teeth and his mouth isn't a teaming cesspool  of Krieger Strain HMHVV (ghoul infection).  Jeshua on the other hand....

Also on another note, next time you fire from your cover position, include the -2 firing from cover....it didn't change your rolls for your last FA though, so don't worry.

Heh, I forgot that, for a Gnome, pretty much anything is good cover.

@Kontact:

Ok let's see...i think you're right....cuz I accidentally saw 5 hits for the first roll....so let me think outloud:

1st long burst: 8 attack hits - 4 defense hits = 4 net hits.  Base DV of weapon is 6P with exploding ammo.  So that's 10P, and that pierces.  Only then you add +5P for burst, so that's 15P like you said, and soaked by 6 hits = 9P...ok so you're right there.

2nd short burst w/ called shot: 3 attack hits - 1defense hit= 2 net hits.  Base DV is 6P+2P for called shot + 2 net hits = 10P and it pierces.  Then add +2 for short burst and that's 12P which gets soaked by 8 hits = 4P. 

So That's 13P total. 

Ok i'll go edit.....can you remove your last post?

Ok, so you guys are in front of the pearl tongue where Woofer's car is parked and you have Jeshua and Bessie Mae with you.  Let me know what you guys wanna do.  You can call up Germaine.  Also let me know what you guys wanna do about Bessie Mae.  Spiderman is also still with you and willing to lead you wherever wanna go.  Depending on what you say i'll narrate what happens and then we should be basically done with the adventure and I'll conclude with Contacts you guys have and a few other details...then karma and loot.  This stuff depends a little bit on what you guys choose to do....so let your intentions be known :)

Probably best we just leave Bessie Mae at the Pearl Tongue with the other girls.

I figure we have Spiderman lead us out of the area, and arrange a meeting with Germaine (outside of the arcology apartments) to deliver Jeshua to him. I'd be honest with the kid's condition from the beginning, but will use my negotiation and etiquette to their full extension to make sure he doesn't back out of the deal because of the situation.
