Heist the Colours (OOC)

Yeah, it won't be easy. You would need to convince him that you mean it and that he will actually be allowed to go if he takes his weapon off you. You might also need to convince him that you he can't convince you to back down for the same reasons.
Tricky. There is not much to go on except his actions going forward.

He desperately wants to stand up. It will help him tactically a little bit, but mainly he would feel more comfortable if you weren't looming over him. What would Raf do if he tried to stand up (Minor Action) on his turn? His Turn comes before yours.
That would be free. There is nothing particularly noteworthy about their gear. This group seem to be pretty standard street-thugs, but you don't see any immediate signs of 'gang affiliation'. They are wearing what you would expect 'commoners' to wear in this city. You can fill in any details you want around those facts.

They have Energy Handguns, and no apparent Armour.
I am not sure. That does not really fit with the actual description or examples of Streetwise. The 'power-structure' between them, maybe, but it is not about reading people's personalities.

But then, I am not sure what would be the right Skill. Recon, maybe? But I also like Leadership here. Given the specifics of the situation, Gun Combat with INT or EDU could be the right Skill, since this is about your understanding of how things would turn out if guns were involved.

I really do like Leadership. What do we all think of using it in that way?
We can assume this happens easy enough. Given that you approached from the 'opposite' direction (or something like it), and he was mostly facing that way already after he turned to face you.
Quite possibly.

Speaking of Armour: Is Raf wearing his bulky Flak Jacket while walking about town? If so, that should probably have influenced the scene with Carl. We did not see it happen, but it is possible you could have put it on when you started to suspect the apartment was broken into? Do you usually wear it?

Ronny did a fair amount in that one post. That sounds like about all he can do: Repositioning and a fairly significant conversation.

You still have Reactions, and maybe another Minor action.

Maybe I didn't understand you quite right. But Lio isn't looking for a sniper since he knows that was a bluff. But is looking for someone occupied with looking for a sniper. (Easy target)
In your second paragraph it seems you think Lio is looking for the sniper.

Could be a language issue though

Indeed a mistake. I meant that to refer to the 'sniper-searcher'. The three possible Recon targets are Craig, Nigel and the sniper-searcher.

Lio's intention is to search and shoot. Because the 'enemy' is willing to do that exact same thing. I suppose they will try to take out the sniper and than us.
I will start off with one recon roll and see how it goes. It's a -2.

Ohw. A nine.

I'll have to look in the book how shooting works exactly ☺️

I agree. Not easy, but probably doable:) First thing: Raf is not acting hostile right now and in fact he is not hostile towards Craig. Raf was/is a smuggler, have seen such situations. For know he sees Craig as someone that had a job to do and was unlucky enough to get caught on Raf's gun point. (but fast enough to do the same to Raf - but it is only a natural reaction). He don't feel that they are necessary an enemies, just Craig's job put an aim on him colliding with Raf intentions. Craig is just doing his orders.

And I would like this attitude towards Craig resurface in their discussion from now on. Almost semi-friendly and understanding:) Especially in situations when lives are on the line.
For now it seems easy. There is 4 of us and only 2 of them, both surpressed by our guns. Raf don't have a reason to do that.

But first let's see how he will answer for Raf's "deal teaser" - as he is earlier in round order.
Raf will say or make some gesture that would mean that it is a part of them making a deal. He don't think it will change the situation that much + probably will allow the rest of the group to see where Craig is and that he is at Raf's gun point, turned back to them and kept in check. So allowing him to do that would be a sign of good faith(in him) :)
I like it too! As mainly this situation is about judging if Craig will "comply" to Raf's proposition, as Raf is mainly "providing" him with different way the situation could resolve + maybe Raf is acting little against Craig's boss girl:) Somehow he don't likes her...;) But maybe Craig is not a fan too? :)

So should I add the roll for the post from previous round or it will come in this round?

---

Raf likes this armor. And have a coat for it - maybe - not being visible immediately from some distance. But of course he didn't had it at the bar scen. But now they are at the job. And they were expecting to deal with some shady dealers. So he definitely have his armor now:)

Besides Flat Jacket at page 104 doesn't look that bulky to me:)

Are they? They haven't shot anyone yet.
Fair assumption. Though there is no sniper for them to take out, so it may take a litte while for them to be sure of that.

Oh, sure. You are only pointing a gun at his head.
Yeah. And those 'orders' are to deal with you.
That might be pushing it. Just because he does not want to shoot you enough that he is willing to get shot does not make you friends.

You could try to engender some friendliness, but that will be a complex roll adjusting his attitude if you choose to go that route.
Do you know that? Can you see them? There are bushes in the way, that is why Craig was hiding there.
If they can see a standing Craig they can already see you, so not much benefit in that regard.
Agreed. He will probably agree as well. It will help your social situation, but may diminish your tactical situation.

Waiting for confirmation that you will still let him stand after this discussion.
Projecting much? :)

Maybe your Leadership will tell us.
As much as possible it is best to keep the roll with the post that involves it.

This Leadership roll is non-active, information gathering/assessment, so we don't care about 'turn order'. If you feel you established it in the fiction, add the roll to the existing post and let us know, else make a post where we see Raf working on the issue.
Of course. You would have it for the previous deal.

Carl did not blink an eye at it.
That look probably helps you here.

My other actions would depend on what Cat's doing. Though it won't be much.

Yeah, Bob's reply will similarly depend on what actually happens, and if they get away from you.

It almost sounds like you are kinda letting them go? If that is a rouse, we may need a roll to sell it.

Let's see what cat does.

Lio will wait his turn.

A question for everyone;
Since they asked us who we work for. I could have Ronny tell Cat a name. It can be someone he heard of through HoneyDrop. With some luck it can be a person the others respect or fear.

Good idea or no?

---

Edit: has a new round started now?

Calling out an answer (or telling it to Cat) would be a Free Action, so you can do that if you want.
Or... just 'HoneyDrop' as a 'name drop'?
Cat can still do stuff, and Raf has not really acted.

@Pedrop: I am still

Friendly bump, no rush though. Only because I know I need one from time to time ☺️

This game is afflicted with weekends.

I plead guilty!
