There are a number of buildings somewhat nearby. You won't be leaping onto any from this distance, but if you got creative with climbing gear and have a lot of luck, you just might be able to get to one.

Or maybe if you knew someone who owned a helicopter who owed you a favor I don't know.

Niles can throw like 20 dice at jumping with 80% added on top due to my jack legs. Can I make a roll to see if he can tell just how far the closest building is?

Ok we're looking at two plans.

PLAN A) Niles just loving LEAPS over that gap since he can probably clear 16 meters, which is quite a distance indeed. He spends Edge to ensure this. He's also holding rope! He ties it on the other side, we (kinda slowly) cross over on the rope.

PLAN B) Rigged throws the rope to catch on the other side. Then we, again, cross over on the rope.

THE TWO BIG QUESTIONS:

How far away is the other building?

How hard would it be to climb with the Go set?

Give me 7 hits and you have yourself the world's most unbelievably dangerous zipline.

If Niles wants to jump, the building is, let's say, oh, 12 meters away, but also 10 meters lower. As far as slow crawling, the line will be pretty steep, so that'll be a climbing check. Ziplining in easier, but will result in reduced fall damage.

The Go set is heavy, I'll let anyone with 5 STR or higher strap it to their back with no penalty.

And sorry Amy, forgot your role in that, you have her as a contact as well.

The go set is in my pack with the drive, so I got that. I think climbing on the rope is going to make you guys sitting ducks, if I jump and run I can try to draw off pursuit and give you guys time to either rappel down or figure something out.

Ok, he is what I think:

1)Niles can throw 17d6 at jumping before edge. Each hit gives 2m jump distance. If I use edge I get 22d6. I am pretty sure I can make this.

2)Niles ties/glues a line for the others to follow.

3)Depending on what this roof looks like, he sets a second rope and rappels down or he keeps to the roofs. He can fall 11m before he has to take dmg so if I can get from 43m (average height of a 13 floor building roof) down too somewhere around 15-16m I can jump to the ground.

The Bible
May 8, 2010

You'll need to be fast about it. Everyone can see you do this, and they aren't too far away from that building either.

Also, rooftop is mostly flat with a guardrail and a garden of fake plants. Street is about 40 meters below.

I'll rule that fall damage for zipliners is a flat 5 physical, resisted normally.

I know I should sleep but this is getting so nuts.

Niles tightens the straps of the pack and grabs one end of the rope. He backs to the far side of the roof and begins to run, his speed blurring him even more then the camo suit. Hitting the edge, he leaps....

Jumping across a loving roof: 17d6t5 7

He lands with a thud but sprigs instantly to his feet and looks for a spot to tie the rope off. Failing that he will use the glue sprayer to make a point.

Mad Dog Edge: 4/5

"Wait, what are you doing?" She asks as Niles backs up. Her question is answered in short order and she rushes to the side of the building to see if his jump was successful. "Goddrat!"

"Me first!" Mad Dog opens up her peacoat, clips onto the line, and zips across the second that it's secured.

She somehow manages not to yell all the way down. The landing's a little hard, but nothing she can't walk off. She unclips on the other side and waves the others over.

Mr. Clean maintains overwatch on the roof and observes everything. [Cavalry is arriving, we need to make our exit now. Combat Drones at the front entrance.] Hearing someone jump behind him he turns and sees Capstick do his thing. [Get across I'm on overwatch, last out.] Mr. Clean activates wireless on his reflex 'ware, his ares alpha, and the flash grenade in the chamber. Cybereyes zooming in on the redhot signatures approaching mixed in with the blues and yellows in thermographic. He looks to the road ahead, then back to the lead vehicle and then to the road again. He takes aim and fires. His magnified thermal vision tracks the grenade in flight, his eyes drawn to the "waypoints" in his AR overlay. One on the lead vehicles windshield, one on where he shot the grenade to meet the lead vehicle, and the last one tracking the grenade in flight. Mr. Clean smiles as all 3 seem to line up at the exact point in time and he immedietely signals to detonate right in front. Pausing only to assess the pileup of police vehicles ahead of him and whether his parting shot was effective, Mr. Clean throws in the spare AV rocket from the last duffel into his main duffel, spare duffel into main duffel, slings that across his chest, and then hops across to the zipline. [Good thinking Capstick, you just saved our asses. Now lets get the gently caress clear.]

As soon as everyone is over to the roof Niles slices the line and begins to look around this roof. He is looking for something like a fire escape or drain pipe he can quickly shimmy down. Failing that, he checks the buildings next to this one to see if any of them are lower and close enough to jump too.


Visual Check, second roof: 10d6t5 4

The Bible
May 8, 2010

Mr. Clean

That'll be 5 Physical, resisted with Body + Armor, AP -4.

Everyone

Your brief but terrifying flight is greeting with a hail of bullets quickly reaching their limits of range. The gesture of firing is purely symbolic, as at this range, small arms fire would be an annoyance, at best. In any case, no one is hit, and you all arrive safely, if not a bit bruised, on the roof of the shorter building.

As Capstick clips the wire, you see several heavily armored people rush out to the rooftop from the stairwell door (apparently the elevator was out, imagine that). Six of them drop to one knee and raise a long black rifle with what appears to be a scope to their eyes. You can almost sense the smartlinks sussing you out.

Mr. Clean's flashbang did a good job of stopping the lead car, which, thanks to the annoyingly narrow roads of Seoul, has now blocked all the response vehicles. Unfortunately, this just means that the other guards have taken to the street on foot and are quickly closing the distance to your location.

Capstick

There is a door to the stairwell of this building. It is tall enough that by the time you reach the bottom, you may well have company. There is also a parking garage about 6 meters away, with a 6 meter drop to reach it by jumping. The disadvantage here is that it does not block you from the snipers.

And oh, yeah, the snipers. Roll initiative.

but first take care of head"

I'll roll defense later as I don't feel like channeling my luck at dodging snipers bullets when I'm dead tired. That said if the round does hit I expect to be near death or dead so we should talk about contingencies for when I burn edge to live or something.

Don't worry, I have some stim and trauma patches and two whole points in FirstAid!

You'll live and stabilize, but you'll still be unconscious.
