@@color(red):This piece of equipment has been withdrawn - see the alternative way of getting the same effect below@@\n\nIf you wish to have a smartlink with a weapon that is touch-range only and cannot be hacked, you must buy a SkinLink module for your gun (SR4 page 318). You can then purchase skin link modules for your other electronics to participate in the skin link network.\n\nFor example, purchasing skinlink for some goggles (that have image link and smartlink) allows you to use a smartgun system.\n\n--These gloves allow the wearer to directly link a smartgun to their mind (via either a datajack, 'trodes, or glasses/goggles with image link). This is a hard-wired link.--\n\n--This equipment costs 400 nuyen, and any smartlinked weapon they are used with must be designated as being made for induction gloves, //not for wireless use//. Wepaons modified for induction gloves cannot be used wirelessly.--

She winks at him\n[18:38] <~ToreadorVampire> Jesse> (( So - you're on cheap plastic seats, slightly malleable but fixed down (a bit like theatre seats, but real nasty) - the screen ahead of you looks solid (not cloth) and you don't see a projector in the room, so you assume that unless it's some kind of LCD-like system (expensive) it's projected from the rear of the screen ))\n[18:38] <+Jesse_V> ((Also, is it ALWAYS the same 3 guards that watch over the 8 blocks of prisoners, in the immediate vicinity?))\n[18:39] <~ToreadorVampire> (( So - the "8 blocks" are really one block, it's just they split them up into 8 groups for moving them around - so far you have only ever seen the same three metahuman guards ))\n[18:40] <+Jesse_V> ((Okay...))\n[18:43] <~ToreadorVampire> OK, lunchtime\n[18:43] <~ToreadorVampire> You are herded out of the rehabilitation rooms to the canteen again\n[18:44] * +Ere_Teuta sits once more at an empty tabl.\n[18:44] <~ToreadorVampire> And can be together, Bolt doesn't choose to sit with you this time, and sits some way away, his "group" broken apart\n[18:44] <~ToreadorVampire> Although you see Sammy keeping an eye on Sonya\n[18:44] <~ToreadorVampire> (in that special way he does)\n[18:47] <~ToreadorVampire> Anyone have anything they wish to do at lunchtime?\n[18:47] <~ToreadorVampire> Of note: Jesse does not get any harrassment from B'gak during lunchtime\n[18:48] * +Ere_Teuta wishes to play drone.\n[18:48] * +Jesse_V is thankful of that, and tries to enjoy his soy-gruel....\n[18:48] <~ToreadorVampire> (or shall I skip onwards to the "free time"?)\n[18:48] * +Dreamer sits and waits for Apex to outline what he was gonna outline earlier.\n[18:49] <~ToreadorVampire> Also - Apex what are you doing about the food?

You look sort of whitish green?"\n[18:55] * +Jesse_V moves over to where Dreamer and Apex are seated and takes a seat himself.\n[18:56] <+Apex> (Isn't a mild alergy -2?)\n[18:56] * +Apex frowns and groans, "Soy..."\n[18:56] <+Dreamer> "Oh no..."\n[18:56] <+Dreamer> "So..."\n[18:57] <~ToreadorVampire> (( Sorry, you're right, -2, not -4 - I misread it ))\n[18:57] <+Jesse_V> "Apex, you okay? you look kind of green..."\n[18:57] <+Dreamer> ((if were not gonna do anything, lets skip ahead.))\n[18:57] <+Apex> "No shit.."\n[18:57] * +Jesse_V whispers...\n[18:57] <~ToreadorVampire> OK - so, straight to the "Free Time" after the second session of "rehab"\n[18:57] <+Jesse_V> "Look, i've been thinking..." Jesse asks all the questions he just asked in ooc...\n[18:58] * +Ere_Teuta continues to pretend she doesn't exist.\n[18:58] * +Ere_Teuta is being asked a direct question? Where?\n[18:58] <~ToreadorVampire> In this time the inmates can move around relatively freely - available are: "More rehab videos", "Your cell", "The exercise court", "the canteen", "the toilets"\n[18:58] <+Apex> Toilets!\n[18:58] * +Dreamer goes to someone elses cell.\n[18:58] <~ToreadorVampire> OK ...\n[18:58] <~ToreadorVampire> You turn up at Bolt's cell ...\n[18:59] * +Jesse_V assists Apex to the toilets and helps him out if he can....\n[18:59] <~ToreadorVampire> He sits there, on his bed and winks at you as you arrive ... he says "Wait a minute, B'gak will be here in a while"\n[18:59] <~ToreadorVampire> Jesse> Medicine skill?\n[19:00] <+Dreamer> *blinks* "What?"\n[19:00] <~ToreadorVampire> "Yeah, we can't start without B'gak"\n[19:00] <+Jesse_V> ((Heck no, i'm just holding his hair out of the way, and guarding him from other prisoners....))\n[19:00] <~ToreadorVampire> (( lol, OK ))\n[19:01] <+Apex> "Fucking...soy..."\n[19:01] * +Apex bends over the toilet again\n[19:01] * +Ere_Teuta has not been instructed to go anywhere specific?\n[19:01] <+Dreamer> "What exactly did I get myself into here..." She eyes Bolt.\n[19:02] * +Ere_Teuta is likely in her cell, staring into the ceiling, contemplating 101 ways to murder a temptress.\n[19:02] <~ToreadorVampire> So ... B'gak arrives at Bolt's cell, and smiles at Dreamer\n[19:03] * +Jesse_V hands him a hand full of tissues when Apex is done\n[19:03] <+Dreamer> *Smiles tentatively, the pheromones that flooded the prison yesterday are back*\n[19:04] <~ToreadorVampire> He points at her and smiles that toothy smile again, speaking something to Bolt in Russian\n[19:04] <~ToreadorVampire> Bolt nods, smiles back and says "Yep, that's right" and nods at B'gak\n[19:04] <~ToreadorVampire> B'gak moves over to the bed, and Bolt bends down, looks around and reaches underneath the bed, and collects something from underneath\n[19:05] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> Perception (visual) please\n[19:05] <+Dreamer> roll sr 7\n[19:05] <+BoxCars> Dreamer rolls (7) and gets (3 hit(s))\n[19:06] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> It's a couple of data chips, they were stashed away under Bolt's bed\n[19:06] * +Dreamer moves aside, backing up, and ends up against the bars, to give B'Gak his space\n[19:07] <~ToreadorVampire> B'gak smiles and takes them in his hand, then stands over by the cell door, blocking the area with his large (imposing) body\n[19:07] <~ToreadorVampire> Bolt looks at Dreamer> OK, now we can get started ... get over there and pull those panties down ...\n[19:07] <+Jesse_V> "So, Apex, a bunch of more stuff that I thought about while I was dodging my large cell mate...maybe you can look into..."\n[19:07] <~ToreadorVampire> (( and I'm going to do a "fade to black" here ... since we don't need graphic detail ))\n[19:08] <+Dreamer> ((Good call.))\n[19:08] <+Jesse_V> ((Thanks, i'm a virgin when it comes to these sorts of scenes...))\n[19:08] <+Ere_Teuta> (( Let's keep it that way. ))\n[19:09] <+Apex> "eh?"\n[19:11] <+Dreamer> *gets back to the group later, and doesnt look terribly happy*\n[19:11] <+Jesse_V> "Yah, like can you hack EVERYone's magebracelets at the same time, when we escape? If there is ALL of the prisoners free, that is going to keep the guards kinda busy while we escape. Also, what about cold weather gear? i'm not walking 10 miles in my scivvies across the icefields. What about other deliveries/arrivals/departures? We might need an alternative exit from this place in case our primary means of egress doesn't pan out."\n[19:12] <~ToreadorVampire> Jesse> This conversation in the toilets?

Jesse and Apex - they're seemingly nowhere to be found\n[19:16] <~ToreadorVampire> Ere> Where are you wanting to be during this time?\n[19:17] <+Dreamer> ((if nothing is going to happen, lets move forward?))\n[19:17] <+Ere_Teuta> In my cell.\n[19:17] * +Ere_Teuta is likely in her cell, staring into the ceiling, contemplating 101 ways to murder a temptress.\n[19:17] <~ToreadorVampire> Oh yeah\n[19:18] <~ToreadorVampire> OK - Ere - as you hang around, you see a guard some with an inmate, half-dragging, half frog-marching him along\n[19:18] <~ToreadorVampire> You haven't seen much of the guards today, they have always been in the background while you've been here so far - this is the first time you have seen them manhandle an inmate\n[19:19] <~ToreadorVampire> This guy looks white as a sheet, and almost catatonic\n[19:19] <+Jesse_V> "So there are tunnels hunh? we need to find the access them. Also, I wonder if opur new mage can disguise us as these watcher spirits to allow us to move through the halls..."\n[19:19] <~ToreadorVampire> They open up a previously empty cell, and throw him in - this inmate you haven't seen before ...\n[19:20] <+Apex> "Getting the passcode would probably be easier, and night is when we should go."\n[19:20] * +Ere_Teuta peeks at the inmate.\n[19:21] * +Ere_Teuta gets up, out of her cell, and stands before his, looking him over. ( If allowed ).\n[19:21] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, from what you can see - it looks like he's only half-alive ... he is rocking himself very very slightly back and forth, as if having just undergone a pretty huge emotional/traumatic ordeal\n[19:21] <~ToreadorVampire> ((Oh yeah, sure, the guard has gone, and he's just sitting on the floor of his (still open) cell\n[19:21] <~ToreadorVampire> ))\n[19:23] <+Jesse_V> "is it possible to wirelessly modify the RDIF tags on the clothes of the guards? Are our clothes similarly tagged? what about cold weather gear? or vehicles? Any inventory for that? any location in the system?"\n[19:24] <~ToreadorVampire> Ere> The man really does look like his mind is broken, and he is making a very soft screeching sound, at a constant pitch, with the back of his throat\n[19:24] * +Ere_Teuta considers him black bagged and goes back to her cell.\n[19:24] <~ToreadorVampire> I mean - it's not really screeching, it's like a scream, but ... very very softly, almost impossible to hear\n[19:25] <+Apex> "RFIDs you mean?"\n[19:25] <~ToreadorVampire> OK ... an onwards to the night then ... unless any of you guys want to meet up and do anything ...\n[19:25] <+Jesse_V> "Er, yah..."\n[19:26] <+Dreamer> ((Nothing in particular...I'm gonna practice picking the cuffs, though, but not removing them, just picking))\n[19:26] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> What tools are you using?\n[19:27] <+Apex> "Don't know, don't think so, I think they only track by cuffs"\n[19:27] <+Dreamer> ((improvised ones I imagine))\n[19:28] <~ToreadorVampire> OK\n[19:28] <+Jesse_V> "Anyways, if you can find out about that stuff, I'll talk to Ere and see what our new team member can do once she is released. I'm going to be pretty useless until I get a gun, or three..." \n[19:28] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, give it a go ... \n[19:28] <+Dreamer> roll sr 8\n[19:28] <+BoxCars> Dreamer rolls (8) and gets (5 hit(s))\n[19:29] <+Jesse_V> "You going to be okay? how long can you go with being sick? or without eating soy?"\n[19:29] <+Dreamer> (Take that!)\n[19:29] <+Apex> "All the food is soy, A human can go a couple days without eating\n[19:30] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> Sure - you pick it first time and it unlocks\n[19:31] * +Dreamer investigates it visually, making sure she understands how it works mechanically, before putting it back together to do it again.\n[19:31] <~ToreadorVampire> As you are picking (with that high success) you see that the magecuffs have some anti-tamper devices on them (I didn't roll them in this case, since even with max successes I can't beat you)\n[19:31] <+Dreamer> and again\n[19:31] <+Dreamer> and again\n[19:31] <~ToreadorVampire> But - now you know how they work you can pick them open and closed again without too much of a problem if you have plenty of time\n[19:31] <+Dreamer> (hopefully we can make it routine, and I can pick cuffs as easy as someone else can exploit em off =) )\n[19:32] <~ToreadorVampire> However, doing them in a hurry - I will be rolling the anti-tamper mechanism against you (it's three dice) and if I get equal to or greater than your successes, then you trip the tamper protection and the cuffs fire\n[19:32] <~ToreadorVampire> However, with a few hours you can lock and unlock them\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> "Not doing it in a hurry" means spending an hour, "doing it in a hurry" means more like 10 mins\n[19:34] <+Dreamer> ((ok. I make note of the anti-tamper mechanism...is it possible to disable or jam it?))\n[19:34] <+Jesse_V> "Alright, well, if you continue to be sick Apex, you might end up in the infirmary, and they might notice that you're not like everyone else..."\n[19:34] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> Not really, I mean - as you're doing it, you are bypassing it, but doing so is tricky and requires either a lot of patience and manual dexterity (hence the hour)\n[19:35] <+Jesse_V> "Why don't you modify your file to adjust your diet? Maybe they've got some alternatives...though that seems unlikely..."\n[19:35] <+Apex> "Indeed, I don't want to risk too much though, if I'm caught its over.\n[19:36] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> You can't really jam it, and the equipment you would need to properly disable it - well, you don't have that equipment available\n[19:36] <+Dreamer> ((ok))\n[19:36] <~ToreadorVampire> But the bonus you have is that you can take the cuffs right off, wheras all Apex can do is switch off the shock system inside them\n[19:37] <~ToreadorVampire> OK - anything else or shall we move on to the next day?\n[19:37] <+Dreamer> moving right along\n[19:37] <+Ere_Teuta> (( Move. ))\n[19:37] <+Apex> ( I could take them off too couldn't I?)\n[19:38] <+Ere_Teuta> (( Perhaps, only two ways to find out.

Essentially it's a home-made shiv - heavily improvised from something that was probably broken (although hard to tell what it was originally part of)\n[19:49] <~ToreadorVampire> You see some dried blood on it\n[19:50] <~ToreadorVampire> You'd need quite a bit of force to really hurt anyone with it, it's not that sharp - actually, it looks pretty blunt, but clearly it was good enough for B'gak\n[19:50] * +Jesse_V puts it back.\n[19:50] <~ToreadorVampire> So - morning comes - exercise & breakfast ...\n[19:50] <~ToreadorVampire> Anyone meeting up for a chat over breakfast?\n[19:50] <+Jesse_V> ((Anything else? like other microchips or whatever?))\n[19:51] <~ToreadorVampire> Jesse> Nope\n[19:51] * +Jesse_V will sit with Ere\n[19:51] <+Jesse_V> ((If B'gak is ignoring him...))\n[19:51] * +Ere_Teuta knows not when Mark will arrive as she is told nothing, so will stay with some random unused table.\n[19:51] <~ToreadorVampire> Yup - B'gak is now completely ignoring you\n[19:51] <~ToreadorVampire> Not a peep out of him\n[19:52] <~ToreadorVampire> Other people?\n[19:52] * +Apex goes back to poking his soy\n[19:52] * +Ere_Teuta doesn't mind Jesse sitting next to her.\n[19:52] <+Jesse_V> "Ere, Apex has found out some stuff about this place...some stuff that falls squarely into your area of knowledge..."\n[19:52] <~ToreadorVampire> Bolt is sitting with Mica this morning, but Rykoff and Sammy are separated\n[19:52] * +Ere_Teuta is not at all very motivated to eat her cardboard soup.\n[19:52] <+Ere_Teuta> I have no area of knowledge.\n[19:52] * +Jesse_V whispers, around his spoonful of gruel...\n[19:53] * +Ere_Teuta whispers back looking disdainfully at her gruel.\n[19:53] * +Dreamer is off on her own, trying not to be conspicuous, which is hard, when you look as good as Dreamer does.\n[19:53] * +Jesse_V shrugs then, and eats his gruel in silence...\n[19:55] <~ToreadorVampire> Anything else?

They are not used during the day\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> * The vast majority of these spirits are "Watcher spirits" - with only two more powerful "ancestor" spirits on-standby for the entire prison complex (all five blocks) during the course of a night\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> The majority of the spirits are summoned by the warden, but each block also has one guard (and only one) on standby during the night shift who summons watchers, and (if an alert is raised) can summon greater spirits if needed, and wake the rest of the guards\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> These watcher spirits are given very simple orders overnight, since they aren't too smart\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> They are to patrol back and forth over the passages between the cells, and immediately report ANY non-watcher spirit, non-"ancestor spirit" form in a coridoor, unless that life form speaks the code word\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> Code words are rotated nightly\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> Watcher spirits are to completely ignore anything going on inside a cell (they get too confused too easily)\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> The greater "anscestor spirits" have more duties, and are told to assense anything that they see outside of a cell, and to report any otherwise 'suspicious activity' - it seems these greater spirits are given far greater autonomy, and considered to have human (or greater-than-human) intelligence\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> So they are really almost like full guards\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> Of the guards, at least one of them on active duty at any time (per block) will be awakened, sometimes more\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> Other things - you notice that the manual refers to a passcode for "tunnels" - like there was a system of tunnels underneath the prison blocks, but the couple of obscure references to this information leads only to deleted files (like broken links)\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> * The "DNA Store" and the "Infirmary" and the "Inmate Behaviour Modification" all seem to be accessible only via these tunnels, as is the "Warden's Quarters"\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> The tunnels locking system seems to be Maglock (opened by keycard, held by gaurds) with an emergency mechanical override system\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> Finally, there are notes about magic - it is specified in the operations manual that all guards must be initiated into only one tradition of magic ...\n[22:08] <+Apex> <ToreadorVampire> ... that is the Quabbalist tradition\n[22:11] * +Apex looks at maks to see how he's doing.\n[22:11] <~ToreadorVampire> He's pretty much zoned out - really kind of shocked that he's in the middle of all of this\n[22:13] <+Dreamer> (we have moved no closer to a plan)\n[22:13] <+Apex> "Okay, how can we find where the DNA storage is?"\n[22:13] <+Dreamer> "Alright, Apex, can you check and see if anyone has been black bagged, and where on your little map there signal stopped, or whatever?"\n[22:13] <+Ere_Teuta> I could try to astrally project, but we risk exposure.\n[22:13] <+Apex> "its in a security office, I can get there whenever"\n[22:14] <+Apex> "If we get a gaurd uniform, I can probably get down there and get storage...."\n[22:14] <+Apex> "With my spoofing, etc."\n[22:15] <+Jesse_V> "How about this. I think I found the access to the tunnels. And the security guards, all three of them are in the three separate areas designated as guard room areas during the times when we are not being herded around. I say we go to the security area that I suspect the tunnel entrance is in, Apex opens the door, and the five of us jump the one guard. Apex already can turn off the guns. 5 of us should be able to take him out easily, an\n[22:16] <+Jesse_V> ((that probably cut off hunh?))\n[22:16] <+Dreamer> (Yep)\n[22:16] <~ToreadorVampire> 5 of us should be able to take him out easily, an\n[22:16] <+Jesse_V> 5 of us should be able to take him out easily, and hopefully, apex can jam his comms unit while we are doing that.

A plan!)\n[22:17] <+Jesse_V> "AND, since Apex can open and close the doors all day, provided they are electronic, you should be able to change them so the guards can't chase us."\n[22:18] <+Jesse_V> "Then its up to Ere here to deal with whatever spirits or whatever come get us, and the rest of us keep the other guards we run across, busy..."\n[22:18] <+Apex> "Shall we begin?"\n[22:18] <~ToreadorVampire> Apex> Just to check - I did point out the "storage room" to you?\n[22:18] <~ToreadorVampire> (on the map)?\n[22:19] <+Apex> ( Do I really need to konw exactly where it is when I can just assume my char does know? ))\n[22:19] <~ToreadorVampire> Yeah, that's no prob\n[22:19] <+Jesse_V> "One of the MANY problems with this plan, of course, is that ALL the prison is soon going to know that we are escaping, since Sonya made herself so VERY well known first day..."\n[22:19] <+Dreamer> "That sounds good. What about outfits for the cold?"\n[22:20] <+Jesse_V> "Not to mention, Bolt and his crew might be on the take from the guards and what not, since they are so...influential..."\n[22:20] <+Jesse_V> "Or any other prisoner for that matter...I mean, there ARE 600 or so in the block..."\n[22:21] <+Apex> "Well, if everyone is going to notice this anyway, should we tell Bolt's group?"\n[22:21] <+Apex> "With their influence, they can contain it so no other prisoner notices"\n[22:21] <+Apex> "And besides, they live with the prisoners, if we can reliably dangle the possiblity of freedom over their heads, they'll bite."\n[22:22] <+Jesse_V> "I submit that we should bring as many people with us as we can, if for no other reason, than to soak up gel round shots...preferably the whole population of the block..."\n[22:22] <+Apex> "gel shots will be no problem at all, at any moment I can trigger my problem and BAM the guns don't fire for anyone but us."\n[22:22] <+Ere_Teuta> That's only if we trust them to be inmates.\n[22:22] * +Dreamer nods at Apex.\n[22:23] <+Jesse_V> "Apex, you can turn off EVERYONE's bracelets right? Can you also put out an announcement over the public address system letting them know that the bracelets won't stop them any more?\n[22:23] <+Apex> "I could."\n[22:23] <+Jesse_V> "That might help, but with the catatonic state of most of the prisoners, I dunno if they'd be willing to follow us."\n[22:24] <+Jesse_V> "What do you guys think? I think the rest of the populous would follow Bolt, but not us..."\n[22:24] <+Apex> "Lets hope the nostalgia they have of magic is strong enough."\n[22:25] <+Ere_Teuta> Disable all bracers, tell them magic is back, and they are sure to do SOMETHING.\n[22:25] <+Ere_Teuta> If for nothing else, then to experience the rush of mana.\n[22:25] <+Ere_Teuta> Light candles or something, fireworks, or whatever.\n[22:25] <~ToreadorVampire> (( just FYI guys - we are now technically past the finish time for the game, but I am MORE than happy for you guys to continue planning ))\n[22:26] <+Dreamer> "Yeah, I dunno what they will do, but it cant hurt. Ere, what sort of spell might make them all catatonic? And is it reversible if it is a spell?"\n[22:26] <+Apex> (( But not if we start doing stuff? ))\n[22:26] <+Jesse_V> "Wouldn't hurt to unlock all their cells if we do this when they are in there, or lock them to prevent them being tossed back INTO their cells afterwards...Can we disable the lock system after we leave?"\n[22:26] <~ToreadorVampire> (( oh yeah, now is not the time to actually start hacking systems and attacking guards and stuff ))\n[22:26] <+Apex> "We can probably do it now..."\n[22:27] <+Apex> "Why wait until we are gone?"\n[22:27] <~ToreadorVampire> (( but it would be cool if you can get things planned to the extent that next week, we can do just a short recap, then begin the actual breakout almost straight away ))\n[22:28] <+Ere_Teuta> Because the guards will panick, and probably fire at everything.\n[22:28] <+Ere_Teuta> I don't really want to be hit, even if it is just gel rounds.

Also, the guards, if you noticed, all carry stun batons..."\n[22:29] <+Ere_Teuta> And also, I don't know what exactly could be making all the prisoners like this.\n[22:29] <+Ere_Teuta> It's either one hell of a spell, or it damages the mind in some way.\n[22:30] <+Ere_Teuta> Well, there you go. They hurt too.\n[22:30] <+Jesse_V> "probably just the beat down over time of a hopeless situation, from which there is no escape for them..."\n[22:30] <+Ere_Teuta> I would rather not th guards were ready if we were to ambush them.\n[22:30] <+Apex> "Well an actual riot here would be quite amazing."\n[22:30] <+Ere_Teuta> It would.\n[22:30] <+Ere_Teuta> A riot would also bring out the spirits.\n[22:30] <+Apex> "Theres about 30 gaurds, and hundreds of prisoners"\n[22:30] <+Dreamer> ((alright, time for supper n stuff))\n[22:31] <+Apex> "In a normal situation, the prisoners are unarmed, in ours, they can use magic."\n[22:31] <+Ere_Teuta> With varying degrees of skill.\n[22:31] <+Jesse_V> "30 guards spread over 5 blocks though isn't it Apex?"\n[22:31] * +Apex nods\n[22:32] <+Apex> "We need some lethal weapons, preferably that can peirce armor."\n[22:32] <~ToreadorVampire> Yeah - that's 30 guards spread over five blocks, each containing 550-600 inmates\n[22:33] <+Jesse_V> "How many spirits did you say? 2 bigger spirits? and a ton of watchers?

Video or Trideo coverage? That will have to be shut down. Maglocks you can handle, but passkey backups would be nice and the guards have those. I've seen them use them.

The "double karma cost" for the uneducated flaw applies to build points at character creation also.\n\nTo take technical skills or academic/professional knowledge skills at character creation, you must spend double build points if you have this flaw.
The standard ShadowRun combat turn runs as follows:\n# Roll initiative\n#* Calculation = [initiative attribute]d6 + [initiative attribute]\n#* For example, with an init attribute of 5, you roll 5 dice, and add 5 to the number of hits you generate. The higher number init goes first\n# Each participant gets an action phase in initiative order. One action phase is ''either'': One free action + Two simple actions ''or'' One free action + One complex action\n# To fire a ranged weapon, the number of dice to roll is ''[Agility] + [Weapon Skill] +/- [Modifiers]''. The modifier list is on page 140 of the SR4 book\n# To defend against a ranged attack, roll ''[Reaction]'' only\n#* If you wish to take the //full defence action// then you roll [Reaction] + [Dodge] to defend against ranged attacks\n#* Full defence means you get no other actions during your action phase. Note that full defence can be declared as an interrupt action (IE: You can declare intent to use full defence before your own action comes round, but if you do you still lose your action phase)\n# If you hit then the damage is ''[Weapon Damage Code] + [Net Hits on Attack Roll]''\n# Next is a damage resistance test, which is equal to ''[Body] + [Relevant Armour]'' - each hit on this roll reduces the amount of damage you take by 1 (and can reduce it to zero)\n# After taking any combat damage (ranged or melee) - if the actual damage you have taken exceeds your Body attribute, then you are ''knocked down''\n#* Players are encouraged to remind me of times when enemies should take a knockdown, I always forget to check for them!\n# Once everybody has had their first action phase in a combat turn, then any participants with extra action phases (due to spending edge, having wired reflexes, or increased initiative adept power etc) take each of their extra turns in initiative order\n\n!!Melee Combat\nMelee combat is much the same as ranged combat EXCEPT:\n* Attacking and defending modifiers are on page 146 of the SR4 book\n* Attacking characters use ''[Melee Skill] + [Agility]'' to attack\n* Defending characters use their choice of ''either'':\n** ''[Reaction] + [Weapon Skill]'' (a parry - can be used only if you have a weapon in your hands)\n** ''[Reaction] + [Unarmed Combat]'' (a block - can be used only if you have no weapon in your hands)\n** ''[Reaction] + [Dodge]'' (a dodge - can be used any time)\n** //Note that this is the standard defence against melee - if you want to use a full defence action then add your dodge skill into the mix. For example a parry becomes [Reaction] + [Weapon Skill] + [Dodge], a dodge becomes [Reaction] + [Dodge] + [Dodge]//\n* Otherwise damage works the same as ranged combat (except that you will almost always be using impact armour instead of ballistic)\nAs an aside, you will notice that this makes melee combat much safer for a character who is really good at melee, as their chances of getting hit by the enemy are much lower than with ranged combat.
<<<\nHi all, here is some background information for my upcoming ~ShadowRun game.\n\nFirstly, it will be using ~ShadowRun 4th Edition rules, I have a number of the 3rd edition books handy, and I may pull inspiration and fluff from them, but certainly no rules.\n\nSecondly, my campaigns (in any game system) are more about role playing than about rule playing or roll playing. Usually, especially in ~ShadowRun (because I like the system and agree with it most of the time), I stick to the rules. On occasions where the rules don't make sense (or there are no rules for a specific situation) I will make a ruling. I will warn you in advance if I'm going to, and be assured that I am not going to totally screw anybody's characters over by doing this. In these cases I don't mind a small amount of discussion about the rules during game time (I mean, if I have made a glaring oversight, please point it out to me), but I don't want to get involved in long rules debates in game time. If it looks like it's going to take a while, take it out of the game session and discuss it another time. I'm around often enough.\n\nThirdly, let me make my position on player-versus-player clear straight away: Attacking a fellow player character is not against the rules, nor is it cheating. Partymembers are allowed kill each other. Having said that, it is not the direction I want the game to take, and I discourage partykilling. Characters will not gain any experience or rewards for attacking a fellow partymember, and there may be other dissuading factors that come in the form of plot/story elements. I will certainly frown on any player that partykills someone for what I feel is a poor in-character reason.\n\nThe above said, I don't mind what type of character (with what past/background) you play, as long as you don't abuse that freedom. I encourage writing of character histories, and might be convinced to give out a minor benefit (like, say a bonus low-level contact) if you give me a good history. A good history is one with plenty of goings on, people you have known, things that have happened, places you have been etc it doesn't need to be excessively long.\n\nWhat I do ask is that all members of the group know each other and have the intent to 'run together. I don't mind whether the group of you want to play an existing team that all know everything about each other and have made several runs together, or whether you just know each other to the extent of meeting up in a bar and arranging to form a team after some contacts put you together. //I would like the group of you to work that out between you.// This request is made to avoid the situation where you all turn up to the Johnson meet and have shot each other dead through mistrust by the end of the first encounter. (Trust me, I have played in a game where that happened!)\n\nFourth, a tip for character creation is to try not to overspecialise your characters. I know that to have an interesting character, you will need some level of specialisation, and by no means am I saying I want a party comprised of nothing but jacks of all trades. What I am trying to say is that creating starting characters that drop 19 dice when shooting with their super-powered ultra-rifle (which they spent most of their money on), but have only one dice for almost any other skill will be a serious disadvantage to you. Trying to powergame won't get you very far, because the challenges your characters face will be varied, and one-trick-ponies will find themselves useless for huge sections of the game. By all means specialise, but try to remain balanced.\n\nFifth, I don't mind cursing or adult themes in my games ... I don't usually go out of my way to introduce graphic violence, or violent erotic themes, or anything else like that, but some low-class ~NPCs will probably curse where appropriate, and if the party wind up in a brothel then they wind up in a brothel. What I'm trying to say is: I'm not out to try and make you puke, but this is not for the kids.\n\nSixth, and not finally, I have probably forgotten one or more things. I haven't GM'd a game system other than Amber outside my own tabletop game group for a long long time, and so there could be other differences about the way I GM (things I take for granted) that I have forgotten to mention. I consider myself a fair GM, but sometimes I am forgetful, if something comes out of nowhere that I haven't mentioned it, my policy is "oops, I forgot to mention that, I'll let you do it this time (or for this game session, whichever is appropriate) but next time that won't work".\n<<<

ToreadorVampire's campaign
{{{\n[16:06] <~ToreadorVampire> OK\n[16:07] <~ToreadorVampire> So - the first part of the recap is already done: http://toreadorvampire.co.uk/rpg/shadowrun#RecapPage << I have cobbled together the specs of the job here\n[16:08] <~ToreadorVampire> So - after the Johnson meet the team went to a Yakuza nightclub next to the lab where the job takes place to do some low-key legwork ... that turned into a firefight ...\n[16:09] <~ToreadorVampire> ... the team hid out on the island for a while, and then returned to the mainland.
