Order of Action: Spartan Dog, Shatterframe, Pink Hair, Syd, Hawkeye, Spartan Dog, Trollick, Van Driver, Shatterframe, Pink Hair, Syd
Splattered in the blood of his friends, the lone Spartan Dog whips out his heavy pistol with a speed that tells the Runners he had his hand on it the entire time. With his face full of rage, he points and fires at the pink hair woman.[sblock=Pistol Attack] [roll: 53(base)+88(d100)=141] [Defense: 52+22=74] [Damage=20, Deflect: 25-20=5][/sblock]
His shot catches her in the ribs and rocks her in the van, but does not penetrate her medium armor. Reaction adjust: 122-20 (damage resist)=102; Syd now goes before Pink Hair
Listen, I need to jack in to the rig here, so I'm going to disconnect you.
As Syd is speaking with Shatterframe two shotguns flip into view on the left and right sides of her van’s hood. They are on precision swivel turrets and capable of engaging any target in range. With a flash of light, the Remote Control Headset flies off Shatterframe’s head and into Syd’s waiting hands.
“Do me a favor, liveborn,” Shatterframe mumbles as she stems the flow of blood from her wounds,
“shoot back.”
In one fluid motion, Syd Vicious sits on the floor of the van and slips the headset over his eyes. At once his mind melds with the machine in a familiar way although he has never directed this vehicle before. Syd has complete control of everything in the van and with a thought he fires back with the ready twin blasters.[sblock=Shotgun Attack] [Attack: 49+59(d100)+25(extra weapon)=133], 60+59(d100)-50(stationary)=69, Damage: 22, Deflect (van)10-22=12 damage, Armor: 25-12=13][/sblock]
The two shotguns tear holes in the van in the direction of the driver, but Syd cannot tell how much damage he does to his opponent. Reaction adjust: 64-12(damage resist)=52
Pink Hair woman turns a twisted stare on the remaining Spartan Dog and points both her machine guns to blow him away.[sblock=Full Auto Attack] [52+95(d100)+65(luck)+25(extra weapon)=237, Defend: 53+37(d100)=90],[Damage=44-10 deflect=34 damage, deceased][/sblock]
“Die, SD!” the Pink Hair woman screams as she expertly aims her duo machine guns and wastes the last ganger.
With the box secured and his pistol in hand, Hawkeye hops in the van and keeps his head down. He makes sure not to knock over Syd, blasting away with the vehicle shotguns.
Seeing that Syd has the Remote Headset on, Trollick manipulates Way as he hangs out of the open door of Shatterframe’s van and bends the shadow of the vehicle to cover him as he fires his pistol. [sblock=Pistol Attack][53+44(d100)=97], Van Driver Defend: 60+74(d100)=138][/sblock] Trollick bounces a round off the enemy van’s frame.
The machine gun on top of the van attempts to track Trollick to shoot back. [sblock=Full Auto Attack] [Attack: 60+58=118, Trollick Defend: 53+14(obscure)+92(d100)+79(luck)=238.[/sblock]
The darkness that Trollick stretches over himself fools the van driver completely. The machine gun tracks off to the right of the Runners, tearing up pavement on imaginary shadows.
Shatterframe says nothing as she slips her VR headset over her head.
Syd pulls the van back, driving backwards as easily as forwards and fires again with the shotguns. [sblock=Shotgun Attack][49+81(d100)+25(extra weapon)=155, Van Driver Defense: 60+65-50(stationary)=75, Damage: 28]Van Driver Medium armor: 13-28=15 damage, Body10-15=5 Mind damage.[/sblock] Again Syd lets loose with the shotguns, blasting out the back windows of the enemy van.
Reveling in her lucky kills, Pink Hair turns her guns on Shatterframe’s van as they begin to make their escape.[sblock=Full Auto Attack] [Attack: 52+36(d100)+25(extra weapon)=114, Syd Defense: 49+90(d100)+44(luck)=183][/sblock]
Although deadly with her weapons before, the Pink Hair woman only fires a few wasted rounds at where Shatterframe’s van used to be. As you pull away from Brimstone Storage, the other van does not move to follow or shoot again.
Shatterframe’s Van Stats: 1 operator, 4 passengers. Top speed: 140 mph, Deflect: 15, 2 concealable shotguns installed under hood, can fire spread or slug
Combat is effectively over. If you wish to go back and try to kill the Pink Hair woman and van driver, roll reaction and declare intentions. Otherwise declare where you wish to go.
