Chapter 1 SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fragged Up

Your mission

SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fragged Up

is to evade the runners and find a new safehouse. You need to keep the case safe until 8am tomorrow.

At 8am you are supposed to be meeting the Johnson at Roberto's, a snazzy brunch joint, in Bothel. You will be paid 3,000¥ each.

Your current location.
SNAFU location

Van and rigger. When Keleth gets his character up he can take over for Rig the rigger.

I am thinking speed up play a tiny bit. So if you wish to make a perception/matrix perception/astral perception or some other skill check. Declare what you want to do AND roll at the same time. If the conditions were incorrect (minuses for noise/weather/range/background count or whatever) then we can worry about it after the fact.

Besides dealing with the runners on your tail you all need to find a new safehouse.

You have one mark on the decker. But the decker resisted the rest.

Wyvern resist 6 matrix damage from the data spike. Use your Intuition + Firewall

I think now we roll for initiative... to make it easy I will roll once for the NPCs.

NPCs are on 15.

Initiative order
Wyvern 27
Nail 23
Greer 16
NPC runner team 15
Merkx 11

I think initiative is going to be a challenge in PbP. My opinion is to let Wyvern, Nail and Greer have a one more go whenever you are convenient (i.e. not necessarily in order). Then the NPCs, then Merkx. And back up again.

If you all have a better idea on how to run initiative in PbP put it forward. Shadowrun PbP is new to me.

Wyvern takes 1 box of matrix damage.

I rolled Merkx' edge to see how many motorcycles he could get in the blast. 1 success so he can get 1 motorcycle.

Merkx lightning gets 3 hits so a damage value of 6+3=9 AP -6 and he takes 3 drain, correct? the rules for electic attacks for vehicles is as follows:
page 171 core book "Vehicles can be damaged by Electricity attacks but do not suffer any secondary effects. Specific systems of vehicles
can be targeted by a Called Shots (p. 195)."

The bike takes 5 boxes of damage.
Bull takes 6 boxes of damage.

VEHICLE DAMAGE
Whenever a vehicle is hit by an attack, it resists damage
as normal, rolling Body + Armor. If the attack’s modified
DV is less than the vehicle’s modified Armor, no
damage is applied. Note that since many vehicles have
large Body dice pools, gamemasters are encouraged to
use the trade-in-dice-for-hits rule (4 dice equals 1 hit)
to simplify tests. Your average tank, for example, will
automatically get 4 hits on a Body Test through that
trade in, so there is no point in rolling unless the tank
needs more than 4 hits.

Sorry Carlos I didn't realize the ball lightning had 6 meter radius. Shark man will resist the electric damage also. Shark takes 5 boxes of damage. Yes merkx will take "2 stun damage from the drain (since my spellcasting had less sucesses than the spell force) and 4 damage from the bullets"

Nail dodge 2 hits single shot so no penalties. Resist 9 damage AP -2
Greer dodge 4 hits single shot so no penalties. Resist 11 damage AP -2
Wyvern resist 3 hits.

NPC runner team is done. I skipped Greer so he gets a double action now. Merkx is up. After Merkx goes that will be the end of the first pass.

Initiative:
Merkx
back to the top, post in any order:
Greer 2 actions
Nail
Wyvern
NPC Runner team
Merkx

Anybody want to give this runner team a nickname?

Going to Post-Edge that dodge roll, bringing it to net 5 successes.
2/3 Edge

I'm using my two turns here to make two attacks against the Shark. Two Long Burst (Complex action) shots against him. If he dies after the first burst, then I'll switch over to the Bull with the second shot.

1st Long Burst vs. Shark. 5 Hits. -5 Def because of Long Burst. 11P
2nd Long Burst vs. Shark. 1 Hit. -5 Def because of Long Burst. 7P

Weapon: Beretta 201T
