So what do you think I should do, fight the water spirit or try to stun the priest?

I'm kind tempted to try and stun the priest...

I'd hack the drone and make it kill the priest, although the priest does have pretty low physical stats. You probably could simply cap his rear end.

The Jeju run has been a lot more difficult than I intended, I'll admit.

In my defense, you guys did take a fairly direct route to getting into the church. Of course these guys have spirits they'll fight back with.

Just be happy you killed that other human priest, because he was totally going to summon one as well.

I'm planning on bum-rushing that priest on my turn, I have a better chance of stopping the spirit by killing the priest.

I'm pretty sure tasers would work better against the spirit than my sword, just by nature of the -5AP.

I have 0 Edge because I took the lowest priority I could get for metatype and still get Elf, and by default that doesn't come with points for magic/resonance/edge.

Fixing now. I think. I can probably use karma for it. Or does everyone get 1 Edge by default?

I'm sorry. Haven't played in years. And this is the first time I've done something besides some flavor of street sammy in a long, long time.

Also, apologies for infrequent replies---nighttime work shifts plus the only wifi accessible at the moment being operational mostly during the day means difficulties. Once my apartment wifi's working again, though, I'll be more regular!

Ok I was talking with cis on irc about explosions, basically the new grenade/GL/rocket rules say that you can only really target spaces now, and if you get 3 hits then it goes wherever you want it to. If you miss, then it scatters. Net hits over 3 don't seem to do anything, and the only thing that determines damage is the range from the center of the explosion and the damage drop off rate. The rules are on page 181/182 if you want to take a look.

The grenades rules need to be finished. In any case, 24 P would have had similar effects.

Not sure if I said this earlier, but we're not using the chunky salsa "nuclear flashbang" rules.

gently caress using Chunky Salsa with flashbangs, that's willful abuse/ignorance of the rules.

The rule for flashbangs says it does a flat 10S within its radius.

Black Thursday was a disaster, plain and simple.
We lost too many good people, too many planes.
We can't let that kind of tragedy happen again.

The Bible posted:

The roof of the building erupts in a massive blast of sound and fire, hurling the guards in every direction, many to the street far below. What remains is the smoking ruins of a stairwell access and a few charred body parts. Ground troops flee from the falling debris and bodies. They won't stay back too long, but you should be able to easily escape now.

What did you guys do to save me??!

Fake Edit: I know what you did but still... I'm going to be away for 24 to 48 so please don't wait on me. Not that you are since I'm knocked out at the moment.

Nah, just having everyone check in. Amy mentioned she's busy for the next day or two, so I figured I'd make sure she'll still be around, even if we don't hear from her those days. And maybe others will be too, busy, I don't know, that's why I asked.

It had been summoned and bound days before the fight. On his first round, the priest merely called it telepathically from the Astral where it had been waiting. It had to take a round to materialize.

Does the priest being knocked unconscious make the bugs go away, or are they still there?

So hey TheBible, confession time.

I messed up my Sheet and for some reason have Automatics as a skill when I really meant to pick Longarms. It makes 100% more sense with my background, I think It must have been a cut/paste error, I build my guys in a excel doc and the move it over to Word and I think somewhere in that process I messed it up.
