Air Spirit

The sudden forty degree drop in temperature in the vault coincides with the air spirit's arrival. The falcon buzzes right over Gabriel and banks around one of the blood spirits, causing visible ice crystals to grow out of it.

Attacking blood spirit 1 with elemental attack. 12 P (cold), -6 AP, 9 Agi + 6 exotic ranged. Energy aura means that if they hit him with a melee attack they get auto hit by 12P (cold), -6 AP. Cold just means that if they have any armor, they have to make a simple armor test and if they get no hits then the armor breaks and they lose it. Not that it really matter with these guys I think.

Kenneth's large revolver roars, the sound echoing through the room outside the vaults. The shot flies true, however, the huge slug burying itself into the spirit currently in melee with Gabriel. There was no way the guards didn't hear that. As the bullet eats into the spirit, a humongous bird swoops inside the vaults. With a screech, it plummets its way through both mana barriers, almost shattering its way through them. Then it circles on the blood spirit that was just shot, and the thing turns into a blood-statue of frost before shattering across the floor into the blood on the floor. Chunks of frozen blood glisten in the liquid, Gabriel still firmly stuck in it.

I'm gonna assume the following things: first, the thing you're shooting at is in melee with Gabriel, giving it -3 DP to defend. Second, you're using your smartlink wireless bonus for +2 DP. Third, since SS is a Simple Action, I'm going to assume you spent the other Simple Action to Take Aim, adding +1 DP, for a total of 13 DP. I'm also assuming you're firing APDS, because what else would you load a Warhawk with.

You plant a round firmly in the thing, and it takes a good chunk out of one of its arms. The blood removed from the round falls into the puddle on the floor, blending back into it.

Gabriel, grabbed by the remaining spirit, turns and stares the thing down. With a few small words on Gabriel's part, the thing cries out as if in pain and visibly shudders. Then things go bad: Hardline comes on the comms. <<Oh poo poo, they called the cops. And, uh, someone else. Not sure who, but police response time says three minutes. We gonna be done by then, or we hosed? Looks like three of the guards are headed your way, too, with shotguns. You got maybe two or three seconds.>> You can hear the sound of running feet through the hallway.

Gabriel

The thing shrieks, its grip tight on your shoulder, as you pull your magic into the forefront of your mind and try to cast the thing out of the world. It's almost defenseless in front of you, and you rip energy from the spirit with your banishing, pulling power out of it in a contest of magical might. This wasn't Aztlan, and you weren't dealing with this poo poo.

You have to resist Drain from banishing; it's a minimum 2 since the spirit managed zero hits on its dice. That's physical damage since it's got Force 8. Since you just faced down and nearly outright banished a blood spirit, regain one edge.

When Alfred disarms himself and starts grabbing at items, the Blood Spirit turns its full attention to him. It releases Gabriel in an instant and flies toward Alfred, releasing a spray of blood all over Gabriel and Alfred alike. The noxious spray is almost like an acid filling the air. around the two. Kenneth watches all of this go down while Sparrow starts the car and Marcina... hides in the van. Gabriel has the Blood Spirit between the first editions and himself, but he's got the manuscript tucked into his jacket.

(Updated Map. I didn't realize how bad imgur was compressing/shrinking them; let's try a new host.)

Alfred and Gabriel

Gabriel, you're now free. The Breath Weapon atomizes and hits both of you.

Its attack roll was 7 hits. Roll against that to dodge. If you fail, make a Toxin Resistance Test (Body + Willpower + any gear). The Toxin has power 8, modified to 10 for Gabriel since he has Weak Immune System :v:. Each point you make on the Resistance roll reduces its power by one. At the end of this turn, you take whatever power is left in Stun Damage. You are also Nauseated at the end of this Turn if it has power left, doubling all of your wound modifiers for the next ten minutes. Additionally, if the total Power (after Resistance reduction) is greater than your willpower, you are incapacitated with vomiting and dizziness for 3 Combat Turns.

In the midsts of looting the room, Alfred realizes that the blood spirit wasn't as incapacitated as he thought it was at first as it begins its spray attack. He dives behind the wall, just in time to miss being showered.

While Alfred ducks behind the wall and dodges the incoming blood spray, Gabriel doesn't fare so well. The toxin soaks through his skin, and he falls down, first vomiting and then blacking out on the floor. He's got the manuscript under his jacket, but it isn't clear where the first editions are: he was the only one who knew. The air spirit is still in the inner vault, circling and flying, and Kenneth is in a position to help out.

@Arkangelus: The 10 stun damage wasn't including hits. You took a total of 9 Stun damage, putting you at 5 Phys, 11 Stun. The tracks do count separately, however, putting you at a total of -8 for ongoing actions when you wake up.

The falcon's shriek is fierce, but its frozen feathers fiercer: much like the last blood spirit, this one is struck by multiple glass-like feathers made of pure ice and frost. The feathers slice it deep, and the frost spreads across its surface just like the previous spirit. It shatters into a few hundred small chunks, arranged in a pile across the floor. The blood pooled does not recede, still a quarter-inch deep and soaking half of Gabriel's unconscious body. The crisis momentarily averted, your team had a small window to gather everything up and wash out before the situation somehow gets worse.

Double-Tap knocks Xavier unconcious and starts bolting for the van, spinning yet another more lies for the guards. They start arguing over the comms, and then you hear a scuffle punctuated by the blast of a shotgun. One of them says, "We took out Jim, he was the only other one outside. Jorge, where are you? Sounds like you got the dude who was pretending to be Xavier."

The captain comes on the line, then. "It's likely they hacked our cameras, if we didn't notice them snatch Xavier. I've put in calls with the police and with the owner, who is calling the Angel. Angel's getting ready now, police should be here in about five minutes. Pablo, Lance, get up to the vault and see what's going on. I'll stay here with Victor, make sure things go smooth."

I'm assuming Kenneth and Alfred used their actions to load poo poo into the van, after spending their last ones to pick it all up.

The FlySpys are neatly stacked away in the back of the van, safe in their racks, and Sparrow's got a hand grenade ready, while Marcina pulls forth a spell and holds it in her mind, keeping her eyes on the large roll-up door into the building around Alfred and Kenneth. The two trolls come barreling out and into hte back of the van, each with nine or ten boxes of goods from the inner vault, their broad troll-arms almost comically full. A lot of them have strange signatures of energy coming off of them, and their collective presence in the back of the van is like the low hum of a powered speaker playing no music. They get into the van safely, hoping one of the boxes contains the first editions, whatever they were worth after this cluster-gently caress.

The van, and anything within two meters of it, has Background Count 2 until it is unloaded. This means all sustained spells are reduced by 2 Force.

Then something erupts, screaming and bright, from one of the balconies of the high-rise apartments to the north. It's some sort of automatic weapon, magdumping into the driver-side door of the van.

Sparrow needs to defend against against 7 hits, at a total modifier of -3 (-5 for Burst-Fire Complex, +4 for Good Cover in the vehicle, -2 for being seated in the vehicle). If Sparrow fails, I need a soak roll against 12 DV / -7 AP. The van's armor counts toward it, so it's Sparrow's Body + Armor + 5 (+12 from the van, - 7 from AP).

Immediately afterwards, the air spirit dives into the back of the van, dropping Gabriel's unconscious form in the back and landing behind the driver's seat. The large bird-shaped thing posts up, ready to help get the van moving or do anything else that might help. And Double-Tap's in the open to the south, jogging toward the vehicle...

As the payload is pushed into the back of the van, the light distorts around the driver's seat slightly. "Invisibility's still holding up, but just barely. Ain't gonna be - "

Sparrow shouts over the sound of the impacting bullets and tries to pull the van around towards Double-Tap. The mage lets out a pained grunt as she looks towards the rooftops. "Get that little rear end in a top hat!" Is her shrill war cry. She mashes on her control panel as her spirit takes to the air. The drones follow along with the van, their video feeds zooming in on the location of the muzzle flares.

Driving south in the van to get me angled away from the shots maybe and get closer to Double Tap, I'll use complex next ip to maintain control.

I'll roll for the spirit sprint/charge to see if he can make it to the guy in one turn.

e: okay scratch the part where I'm hosing down apartments and switching the suppressing fire rolls to clearsight rolls since it's the same dicepool. gonna try and spot him and have the drones come with instead while birdy does his thing

Trust me.

After the gunfire dies down, the van peels out and runs south, toward Double-Tap through the parking lot. Hardline comes over the comms. <<What the gently caress was that? Who's shooting at us? Pick me up on the way out!>>

The guards marked in AR continue their run through the building, hopelessly slow compared to the magical and mechanical reflexes of the team while the rotodrons do their thing. The two collectively pinpoint the appropriate balcony, about twelve stories up. The shooter's got a high-end rifle on a recoil-compensating mount of some persuasion on his balcony, maybe. At the same time, the van closes half the distance to Double-Tap.

The shooter is about 70m from the van, closer to 65 from the rotodrones. He's in partial cover from the balcony railing and stuff. It's Dim Light and Light Wind at that altitude / distance, so combined with the Assault Rifles' range it's -6 DP to shoot at him.

Marcina still hasn't acted this round; she's in the back of the van, and can see north out the back windows. Double-Tap can make a sprinting roll or whatever else, and then we'll start again at the top of initiative.

[ When I told them someone was infiltrating them to spread confusion, they gunned down one of their own. We MAY have just interrupted a second team's infiltration. ]
