@beta can you confirm that the room we are in has a bgc of 6?
-
@electric_muppet sorry I missed this question. Yes, the room you are in currently has a BCG of 6 (six points to the negative). The rooms have been alternating high and low mana levels, getting stronger as you progress (previous room was +4, giving anything magic based a +4 limit). Pattern has been -1, +2, -3, +4, -6.
Kynos’ shot missed. Thing 1 attacking on its init. To anyone other than Kynos all that can be seen so far is two spiked limbs (sort of like a mantis’s forelegs), so it would require a called shot or dodging in front of Kynos.
-
Just in case you are wondering, I’m waiting for Batshit to put in the coup de grace.
-
Sorry been trying to get five minutes to compose a post, I really must learn to roll play instead of role play. The posts are so much easier ???
-
Just holding off for @aria for a little while, and to allow the following discussion, does motion detection run of radar or micro air density variations (Al la Alien)
-
My understanding is that current motion detectors use ultrasound (same general principle as doppler radar, in that waves bouncing off an object moving towards or away from the emitter/detector have their frequency shifted, just an entirely different form of wave and frequency). Works well in not-too-big enclosed spaces.
-
A quick check that we aligned. The small chambers seem to be designed as ‘mana locks’, and like an air lock only one door can be opened at a time– unless of course you break the mechanism somehow.
So to open the second door and all start fighting , without messing with the mechanism, means getting everyone into the small chamber (aka ‘mana lock’) and shutting the first door.
The small chambers are about 2mx2m, (although slightly wedge shaped; each larger room has been angled compared to the previous)
-
Well, if we want to stay together we likely have to do it that way.
-
@jack_spade I’m reading that right that he has AP of -16? What is he firing? (I’m not doubting the math, I just want to take notes!)
I’m guessing that Lilly will be faster than the toad. I’m not sure if Batshit is even trying to use adept powers currently, or turning them off until the mana in the chamber goes up (which should happen by the end of this first turn, now that the second door is open)
Init:
Kynos 34
Lilly: ??
Batshit: ??
Toads: init: 14+2d6 22 22 to 24
Crawlers and mantis-bats: init: 20+2d6 31 31
-
Kynos as the experimental gear quality from BtB.
His Ares Alpha therefore has AP -4
Bullseye Burst triples base AP. To that -4 AP from APDS is added for a total of -16AP
Which reminds me, since he uses custom rounds, the base damage is one higher, so 12 + net successes
-
I will not miss this power creep in SR6… although doubtless we’ll get there eventually 🙂
Lily is 12+3d6: <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>23 [3d6=3, 2, 6] so just faster than the toad… but she’s going to ‘hold action’ until Kynos isn’t blocking the way (and she’s not about to run in front of that hideous assault rifle :P)
-
Eh, call it power creep, but its one of the rare qualities exclusively for mundane characters – which is nice if you consider how often SR turns into MR (MagicRun).
And I already was able to do the same trick out of the box with the burst fire sniper rifle in core.
-
It is really the bullseye triple-tap that makes the AP crazy. Anyway, that is fine, I’d been a bit worried about overwhelming you all with spirits, but then said ‘nah, they all have some crazy abilities, throw the kitchen sink at them and let them really cut loose’
-
Corrected Init (I’d forgotten something)
Kynos 34 Major to shoot, minor to move out into the larger room
mantis-bats: 25 (moves and attacks per the IC)
Crawlers: 24 (moves and attack per the IC)
Lilly: 23
Batshit: ??
Toads: 22
-
Initiative 1 no magic: 8+1d6 10
Bronwean is on int 10
-
Up next will be Lilly, then toads, then Batshit.
There are four of each of the crawlers and the mantis-bats, and three toads (one of which is badly injured)
-
What level will the mana/background-count stabilise at?
-
Sorry for the silence the past few days. I should know by now that when my son gets to exam time, some sort of drama will ensue. Not quite up to being creative yet tonight but will try to reply over the weekend.
@electric_muppet Next turn the background will be +8 (as in, there is so much mana that the limit on anything magical increases by 8).
-
@beta is it the toads next or batshit
-
1) I want to apologize for having closed down my SR tabs ‘for a day or two’ most of two weeks ago, and so having taken a rather long unannounced break. It was only after I disconnected from a bunch of things that I realized how burned out I’d become, and I just couldn’t will myself to re-engage with everything for a while.
2) That said, I’m feeling loads more myself, able to sit down and focus on one thing for a while. So I’m good to carry on with this — or if the stop-start-stop has killed things for people we could do an accelerated wrap up.
3) Belatedly sending my hopes that the various holidays in the last month have treated you all well, and that everyone has benefited from a bit of a break.@Electric_Muppet I’ll wrap my head around where things were this weekend and re-post where we are on init, and also post key stats/abilities for the various thingies so that you all can roll their defense/soak tests as appropriate.
