Pete's third shadowrun adventure:Welcome to Fortune

[deject]

I say we head into the breach. I can lead the way if that helps.

[Roman Totale]

Concur, but I'll be loitering behind the "muscle".

[Dog Pants]

Sounds good to me. It's conspicuous by its presence.

[deject]

Alright then, onwards ho!

[HereComesPete]

Okay, consensus is breach.

Do you guys want to move silently or just stomp along? Joose, do you want to continue sending a drone ahead and what to do with the other drone staring at the big metal door?

As you move through the rent torn into the metal, you can again discern the distinct lack of sound, even down to a faint clicking coming from the nearest emergency lights as they rotate in the roof. There's metal doors with reinforced glass observation windows in at regular intervals, each one with a keypad, each door bearing various etched and coloured hazard symbols. The tunnel angles off in front of you, more featureless doors and near silent strobes head off into the distance.

[Dog Pants]

Silently would be good, but I'm not sure we're all capable of it. I'm certainly no ninja.

[Pnut]

Anyone else getting the mad scientists lab vibe? I'm not sure I can do the silent either but am willing to try.
Actually, can Hernandez reach the glass to have a look inside?

[Dog Pants]

Yeah, I'm feeling a spot of the Dr Moreau.

[HereComesPete]

Pants - your spirits have powers that might help.

Pnut - Hernandez is too short too look through the windows.

If you want to roll infiltration then it is of course Infiltration or stealth skill group rating + your agility rating. You can roll agility -1 if you don't have infiltrate.

The light levels inside are currently low as the only regular lighting is the emergency spots that are above each door and the lines of leds that sit low in the walls lighting the floor.

[Roman Totale]

I'll go sneaky-freaky-deaky. I'm sure if anything is here it knows about us, but I'd prefer to stay in the background if it all goes tits.

Infiltration (4) + Agility (7) = 4,2,1,3,4,4,2,6,1,2,3 = 1 hit

More freaky-deaky, less sneaky.

Edit: not that you'd know this, but Smith is overjoyed at the thought of finding a lab to bugger about in.

[deject]

I shall also attempt sneakiness:

Infiltration (5) + Agility (6): 4, 6, 4, 5, 5, 1, 4, 1, 2, 5, 6: 5 hits.

[HereComesPete]

Well as you're in a group I'm going to need sneak rolls from everyone or the stomping dwarf and alcohol swigging, joke telling elf are going to give the game away. Or you guys can move ahead.

[Pnut]

Agility (6) - 1 = 3, 3, 1, 1, 6 = 1 hit

[Dog Pants]

I'm not sure what to do here. I don't really want to go bringing down spirits for a simple sneak that other people might have failed anyway, but on the other hand I don't want to clatter about and balls things up for everyone else. I could try sneaking but I'm on 2 dice so more likely than not to fail even a 1.

[Roman Totale]

To be fair Smith is only sneaking out of habit. Like I said, I reckon anything around knows we're here, I'm just trying to sneak in the hope that if anything does rush out at us it doesn't have an accurate idea of how many of us there are.

[Dog Pants]

Fair point.

AGI 3 -1: 2 Dice

5, 1: 1 hit. G!

Hahahah, I sound like exactly the number of us there is.

[fabyak]

Jon will try and sneak along

agility (6): 2, 1, 4, 6, 4, 2: 1 hit.

pffffff

[Joose]

Well, I could try and infiltrate with the drones, but after that lot im not sure theres much point. Although, actually, if im flying them ahead I suppose there is a chance that the stompy rasta-elf could distract people from my robodragonflies. And then I could bite them on the bum. Or something. Fuck it, infiltrate go!

Wait...if I wanted to sneak all of them I would have to let the drones pilot program do it, and they dont have any infiltration skills, so they would be rolling a mighty 2 dice. Right, new plan: Im going to pull the 'fly back from the other corridor, and have it follow us up behind to watch our back, without infiltrating. the one that is already ahead of us in here will keep going ahead of us, and I will jump in to it, being as super sneaky as possible. I'll also keep it as high up as possible, to try and keep it out of melee range. If flying would be tricky, I'll walk it along the roof. I dont think I have any other drones out there, but if I do I will pull them back to to cosy confines of the good doctors handbag. Also, if possible, I will pull a couple of my repeater drones down from the Tower so I can keep decent comms if some kind of interference springs up.

For those of you who are not familiar with the AI rules, I have now physically moved myself from the teddy into the fly. Essentially, I have gone from sitting in the bear remote controlling the fly to sitting in the fly remote controlling the bear. I'll get *far* better sneaky dicepools this way. Also, as I *really* dont want to be spotted, im sticking my point of edge in there too.

Response (8) + Infiltration (3) + Edge (1): 3,4,4,6,3,6,2,3,2,5,1,3,2,6,5: 5 hits. Ninjafly.

[HereComesPete]

Joose - Ingress5 has 2 drones up, the rest are in the doctors bag. The lead drone whispers up the corridor well ahead of the group, the tailing one to fly 'a distance' behind.

As the group is passing the first doors on either side, Jaspers drops a bottle of rum from some recess within his oversized snow suit.

Yes, you guys who got that stuff are still wearing it all and it is slowing you down.

Fortunately the bottle does not break. But against the door either side of you there is a loud thud as something heavy runs into it, one fractionally later than the other. This then echoes down the hall as the doors in front of you get the same treatment. The other noisy feet shufflers, Jon, Smith and Hernandez seem positively wraith like in comparison.

The thudding noise is repeated like some insane drum beat at the many doors in front of you. There is absolutely no change in the strobes, the lighting or anything else that you can perceive.

[Dog Pants]

Ahh sheeit.

jasper quickly grabs the rum and quickly examines it.

Phew.

Erm, this looks bad. Sorry guys, I can't help but feel partly responsible here.
