[IC] Sudden Payback (Session 2)

In the map above, the four of you are the blue blobs. Bosko is the red blob. He's at short range, but all four of you would need to disengage from the wheelchair ramp to give chase, meaning it's two move maneuvers to engage with him -- Move 1, disengage wheelchair ramp (at Short range to Bosko now); Move 2, engage with Bosko. An action in such a case would make that second maneuver cost 2 strain.

In the action economy, engaging with him essentially prevents him from getting into his truck, since he'll have to disengage, then move to the truck. It won't leave him enough maneuvers to open the door or get in.

Any one of you can go first, but looks like Hank was wanting to do something.

Hank is left with 2 advantage -- enough for a "pin" if you want: He can't make a move maneuver for 2 turns!

Yep, I'll take the pin. Also, since this does damage like a normal unarmed attack, it'll do 5 strain, minus soak.

LOL. Technically it's his turn in the initiative order, but he sees the writing on the wall. Marv, Max, or Guy can give me a group Coercion check, Average (PP) difficultly. Two boosts for assistance (all the threatening dialogue), another boost for him being pinned.

Looks like Marv's your best Coercer, with GGG vs. PP, but adding in BBB.

Sweet googly-moogly. Is there a crit table for coercion? GODDAMN!

What do you want to use the 5 advantage for? In a prolonged social encounter, you could use that to do extra strain damage to him, but in this case, it's probably better to use it for something else, like ancillary information not directly related to Grinning Jimmy, or some other boon you think makes sense. Maybe Bosko drives you there? :)

I don't know if we can use it to find out Jimmy's desire/fear seeing as he isn't actually here but I think that's the sort of thing I'd be hoping to learn with so many adavantages. Does anybody else in the group have any other thoughts? As far as I'm concerned, this is the group's to spend since we all got ourselves in the position to make the roll together because this group is jiving straight off the bat!

Max can pat him down with an Average Perception check upgraded once: (RP). One boost from him being restrained, but no other aid is possible.
