Dave can't see any doors to stairwells here, but if he thinks about it, when has that ever been part of a school cafeteria? While trying not to fall in the large burning hole in the roof, he about trips over the skylight again, and then at the far end of the roof is a trap door.
Despite the awesome red Adidas track suit, running is really not Dave's thing. Anyway, it seems like his teammates can handle these drones fine without him. And fighting drones is not high on his list of hero activities for today. He jogs in the direction of the trap door.

Resolution, School daze, round 1
Location picture, just add M'buna stuck in the roof and some pulverized body parts scattered about.
Karma The belt makes a solid "Click" as the magnetic buckle locks. As you are fading partly out of this reality the belt automatically sinches to a tight but not uncomfortable fit around your waist. Karma is no longer visible
You easily ghost through the craft ceiling and the metal roof of the building.
You are the first person to get a clear view of exactly where you are. Picture is pretty close...except for the drones and the alien transport sticking out of the ceiling at mid-court also it is night so the windows are dark but the lights are on. You crashed into a gym...
You are currently ghosting 1-2" (your call) above the floor about 4" away from the 4 prone drones who are roughly in the center of the court. 2 more drones just {ignore this: 1d6 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 6} entered. One is just at the door. the open door under the hoop on the right side of the pic.~10" from you on your right. while the other is abut halfway to the group of fallen drones. 4-5" from you. also on your right
............................
The drones This is when the tower trick fails and the other 2 drones join the party.
..............................
Ah-Rekhmire Neither the 4 drones non the carefully waxed finish on this section of the court will ever be the same again. The stone storm scattered bits of drone and gear in a roughly 9 yard (4-5") radius from where the drones fell.

Mr Sardonicous.
The vampire relieves the now dead pilot of their blood and their sidearm. Given what was in their blood stream the pistol would have tasted better.
..................................
Imagine. I am assuming you are targeting the closer of the two upright drones. forlorn hope(spirit): 1d6 ⇒ 6. Ace!: 1d6 ⇒ 5 total is 11-2 or nine. Success with a raise. This is now Drone A. Drone A has +2 to resist mind control for the rest of it's life. You go through the drones defenses like a tornado there was nothing there. It was like walking upstairs in the dark and there being one fewer steps than you expected. This mind is strange and slick and barely there. You scramble to find a grip but by the time you recover your focus this thing has shut you out!
..........................
Psiclops. It is 8" from the cockpit door to the exit ramp. Say you were in the middle while searching so 4" to the door. The thick orange belt makes a loud "click" as the magnetic buckle locks and it automatically shrinks to a tight but not crushing fit.
You fade from vision with practiced ease. Psiclops is no longer visible.
You lower the rear ramp easily and fly out. Approximately 2" outside the Mbuna the belt activates. Your fly speed immediately drops to 6" unless you make a Focus roll, it feels like you are flying through wet concrete. The belt projects a bright orange and gold sphere around you with lightning bolts leaping to the nearby metal surfaces.
Everyone You all hear a LOUD grinding industrial noise mixed with electrical pops/bangs coming from the open rear of the M'buna. Karma from your location the sound appears to be coming from the M'buna. Notice at -2 to locate the sound to the rear of the craft.
Everyone but Psiclops and Karma can make a Notice at -2 to see a translucent Psiclops inside some kind of energy field. (Psiclops,this would normally be at -4 but you are inside a disco ball from hell and your invisibility is having trouble compensating.)
..............................
Doctor Toxic. The closest drone is about 14" away from the hole by the craft. You can take an action now or go on hold as we enter round 2.
..............................
Dave. You have just reached the trap door. It is locked or barred from below. If you like you can take a Strength roll to force it open or a fighting roll to punch it. Either roll will be at -2 because of the run 'action' As this will not effect anyone else just toss the roll in whenever and I'll ret-con this in.

Combat setting: School Gymnasium, the roof thereof, and the interior of a crashed M'buna.
The gym is a rectangular room approximately 70x120 feet (12"x 20") with a polished hardwood floor. Folded out bleachers line the long sides of the room. The roof is a 4-5" above the floor, with support beams and etc. below that. Doors are as visible in the picture. The side you cannot see (behind the photographer) should be taken as a mirror to the short side you can see. A set of double doors with crash bar and "exit" sign, a blue painted closed single door and a closed wooden door on the same long wall as the one in the picture. For purposes of play the short side you see in the pic is "side 1" the long side with the wooden doors is "side 2" the short side you cannot see is "side 3" and the long side without any doors is "side 4".
Cards. Shuffled due to Joker draw last round.

Doctor Toxic 5 of diamonds, you also drew a 9 of diamonds. Exact position TBD
Other thing you don't know about 4 of clubs. reminder 2
Karma 2 of hearts. Ghosting just outside the sphere of devastation left by Ah-Rekhmir last round. Karma cannot be seen or felt. Wearing an orange belt.
Drones: 2 of clubs. In the gym. One by the open door on side 1. The other, Drone A, about 10" into the gym heading to where the drones were torn to bits. Drone A has +2 vs mind control.
Post as you like, actions will be resolved in card order. The things you don't know about will go on hold and can be ignored.
Dave and Ah-Rekhmire you are leading the parade this turn...
Dave reaches the trap door only to find the thing is locked from inside. Hands on hips, he breathes heavily for a moment after the run, then kneels down and sends a fist through the square of metal.

Boom! Door is opened. You see a ladder running down the inside wall of side 3. It is covered with a security cover for the last 3 feet and stops 5' from the floor. For game purposes it is 4" of ladder and 1" drop. Make and Athletics roll for the drop TN 2. 1d6 damage if you crit fail. (Unlucky and Obese hindrances acting up. If you do crit fail you get a benny)
Note: Due to SMASH you are Vulnerable until the end of your turn 2.
You are clear to post your turn 2.
The thing nobody assumes about Dave is that he is athletic, but he is actually quite nimble and strong. He's just not fast. He makes short work of this ladder and descends easily to the floor of the cafeteria. After seeing the basketball hoops, he understand that it must be after lunch, which suddenly gives him a pang of disappointment. The kitchen must be somewhere close by, but unfortunately there still all this other stuff happening. It's like, pretty crazy in here at the moment.
Dave rolls up the sleeves of his red polyester Adidas track suit and considers what to go punch.

Dave, you have an action if you want to take it. If nothing else you can run again and start cutting down that 20” to the open door on side 1. Also there are doors closer to you if you want to investigate. The double doors and the blue door are more than 4” away but there is a closed wooden door right next to you.
Dave happens to notice a wooden door next to him. He thinks there's a chance that's where the little boxes of milk and cereal are stored, so he opens it to find out.
Round 1
The blob moves stealthily across the ceiling.
He'll head to the blue door and slip a pseudopod through the crack to see what's going on.
Locker room, musty. The lights are on. Your nose and the unbroken layer of dust on the floor tells you this room has not been used for some time. Rectangular in shape, it appears to parallel side 2. No showers. Restroom stalls ahead of you separated by a thin wall from the locker area. 2 double rows of half size lockers parallel side 2 with backless benches between the rows of lockers. Some of the lockers are open the 2-3 you can see inside of are empty. Many of the locker are adorned with brightly colored stickers of pre-invasion, cartoon characters. As you are familiar with cartoons (go on tell me I'm wrong) most of these characters are from girl targeted cartoons.
Looking down the room towards side 1 you see a blue painted cinder block wall about 10" away. If you want to move into the room you can use run to move a d4 inches in.
Doctor Toxic resolution turn 1 extra
Mr. Sardonicous knows that it is time to leave. He holsters the new weapon into the rear waistline of his pants. He almost wistfully looks at Imagine staring blankly into nothing. He swiftly sweeps her up in an effortless movement. He cradles her, and protects her head as they move through the cabin's door. He recites Shakespeare as they move to the crafts exit.
"Women may fall when there is no strength in men."
Ah-Rekhmire walks over to the hole in the roof and drops down through it.
Now here's a place Dave recognizes instantly as the setting for countless pornos. A women's locker room! Just another reason the V'sori can suck it.
A colored brick catches his eye and like a kid in a candy store he runs toward it. Who knows what pre-invasion secrets are hidden therein?
2 hearts
Karma moves toward the closest drone in ghost mode, just above the floor. She thrusts an invisible hand into the chest of the drone and turns tangible and visible, hoping to disrupt whatever powers the thing.
Boo! she says as she appears with her hand ripping at his heartstrings.
Result 6 + 4 = 10
Psiclops will spend a Benny to Change the Story : the belt is shorted out by its own lightning, and ceases to work.
He will fly over the edge of the roof, to see if there's a parking lot on this side of the building.
If so, he will look to see if there's a large van anywhere.
After that, or if there's no parking lot, he will find the nearest door into the building.
I'm guessing that would about take up my 12" of flying movement.

'How DARE you resist ME! I shall show you the meaning of true POWER! I will make the other drone rip out his heart and--'
"--bwAARRHK!" Imagine squeaks as she's scooped up and transported via the Transylvania Express.
It takes her a moment to get her bearings and realize that she's held, cradled and protected, by a strong man who is carrying her out of the craft.
"Oh hello!" she states, entwining her arms around his neck. "Oh mah goodneth," she continues in an acceptable impression of a Sothern Belle. "Tha gentlemen callers certainly are friendly in these here parts. Allow me to reward mah hero."
She withdraws one of the emergency belts and slinks it around his waist.
"There we are, sugah. It's a parachute. Just drop us down an' let's get to some serious killin'"
She switches to mind speak for him alone.
'Hmmm. Too bad we don't have time for anything else.'
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Mr. Sardonicous listens to the girlish romantic excitement presented by his cargo. Somehow, the alien's technology had suppressed his maddening curse which left him human for a time. As a human, He had seen Imagine as a vessel of youth and beauty.
Mr. Sardonicous says, "Do you think any of the other freaks know how to turn this ship into a bomb?"
'Hmmm. Too bad we don't have time for anything else.'
He carefully and smoothly sets her feet to the ground. His hand that cradles her head slips down to the back of her neck. His thumb gently strokes her there. The silent intimacy is followed by a whisper. "The carnal pleasures that I seek...You can only feel once."

When you fly over the edge of the roof you see that a single story building is attached to this side of the building you crashed in/onto. There are no doors or windows into this strange attached building. Looking further you can see that a wall extends from both shortsides of the large building and appears to wall off the block. You see no gate but you can only see half the block from where you are. there is a small (6 slot) parking lot on one side of the large building (side 2). It is empty and is cut off from street access by the wall. No vehicles are parked in the street. One of the buildings across the street has a closed garage door.
The wall is about 12 feet high and is made of sprayed V'crete. V-crete is the human name for a spray on fast hardening goo the invaders use when they need to build something fast. There is very likely a chain link fence under the now stone hard goo. The wall is topped with spooled razor wire. It was apparently added before the goo hardened as parts of the wire penetrate the wall.
That used 6" of movement with you remaining movement you could reach the roof of, or the ground beside the strange attached building. Or ypui could fly towards one of the short ends of the building (sides 1 or 3) which are 10" away. If you run you might get there. You could also return to the craft to take a better look through the hole in the roof or on your way over the roof ridge line to see the rest of side 4 and the other half of the block.
You still have an action. Please let me know what you wish to do and if I was correct in my assumption that you wish to remove but retain the belt.

Oh Mr. Sardinocous, where are you taking Imagine (I think it is to the gym floor but I am not sure) and are you pausing to let her put the belt on you?

"Let's save MindJack before we start blowing this up, hun," Imagine thinks back, answering the question and still a bit miffed that she didn't get a chance to turn one co-worker to fight another trusted partner for her amusement.
As the undead stranger sets her down and makes a proclamation about the potency of his kink, Kara returns the look with a smile, allowing the hand to encircle her delicate neck unopposed.
She giggles, a sound both guttural and girlish, a mix between a kitten's purr and a tiger's growl.
"I'm tougher than I look."
She winks and spins away, skipping directly toward the hole in the floor where she does a little hop and jumps down without a second thought.

First you need to identify your targets. Which shot is targeting which drone? Drone A is closest the "other drone" or "door drone is further away, but still in short range. Door drone does have half cover from the wall so the Target Number to hit them is an 8 while it is only a 4 for Drone A. Note you can direct both blasts at the same target.
As you have a rate of fire of two you will need to roll a Shooting die for each target and then one wild die. The Wild die can replace either of the shooting dice but not both of them.
So something like: Drone A 1d8. Door drone 1d8. Wild 1d6. <Look at rolls>
Wild die replaces for the Door drone.
A critical failure is a 1 on the wild die and a 1 on either of the Shooting dice.
Once you see if you hit then roll damage again.
Good?
"Let's save MindJack before we start blowing this up, hun,"
Mr. Sardonicous wonders how big the explosion would be. He was certain that nothing could take out a city. He watches as Imagine drops through the floor. He shouts at her. "The restrooms lied! You're not Fun!". He jumps after her.
Psiclops flies down to the ground, takes a quick look around, then flies back up to the rooftop.
If I have flight movement left, I'll head to the hole in the ceiling and drop down into the gym. Let me know how far I can get.
If I can get in sight of the drones, I'll use a non-Free Action to blast one of them (depending on Ah-Rek's action and results).

Drones: 2 of clubs. In the gym. One by the open door on side 1.
Mr. Sardonicous
Everyone You all hear a LOUD grinding industrial noise mixed with electrical pops/bangs coming from the open rear of the M'buna. Karma from your location the sound appears to be coming from the M'buna. Notice at -2 to locate the sound to the rear of the craft.
Notice at -2: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 21d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3
ace: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Working with a team is new to Karma. She starts to move toward the closest drone and try to disable it with a tangible hand to the chest, but then the Duke of Desiccation (Ah-Rekhmire) flies in and starts blasting that drone and Imagine and Mr. S fly in looking like they may try to find a room. She isn't sure where some of the others are, but the ones she can see seem capable of dealing with a couple of drones.
She decides to get out of possible lines of fire and look for the notorious MindJack, given her strong suit is getting past conventional doors and locks. With her astral feet level with the ground, she becomes visible and tangible long enough to yell at her new teammates, "Don't shoot! It's just me. I'm going exploring. I'll let you know if I find our friend, MJ."
Then she goes back to intangible but stays visible to allow the others to see her and, she hopes, avoid slinging energy bolts through her position. She flies toward the nearest wall and passes through .
You are correct. No issue with the drop to the gymnasium floor.

It did, you were able to spot Psiclops in the Disco ball. "Everyone but Psiclops and Karma can make a Notice at -2 to see a translucent Psiclops inside some kind of energy field."
Karma
You are near the center of the gym.
Side 1, the short side with the Drone in the doorway is 10" away and you would be in the drone's line of fire barring doing something creative.
Side 2, is the long side 6" behind you. Dave went through a door on this wall earlier. The drone has line of fire on the entire gym floor so you are exposed unless you nip through a handy wall.
Side 3, is the short side 10" behind you where you see Doc stuck to the wall above a blue door.
Side 4, is a long side 6" ahead of you. There are no doors in this wall.
I'll give you 2" extra pace this turn only as your exact position was kind of undefined last turn. There are 3 player actions ahead of you so I do not expect the Drone will be there when your card resolves. No promises though.
Note: you need to make a Focus Roll target number 4 to go intangible/invisible. Each roll is an action so going from Human to invisible ghost is 2 focus rolls each at -2 for the Multi Action penalty or more if you also Run or take other actions.
As you are running and moving from human to full Ghost this turn (You have a pace of {6base+2bonus+5run} 13 everything is in range. In fact you only need to run if you are going for Side 1 or 3.) you will be making 2 Focus rolls vs.a target of 4. These rolls will be made at -4 or -2 if you did not Run.
Does that make sense?

This drone also has cover from the door frame but you have more than enough movement to bypass that cover if you move through the doorway into the hall beyond. If you wish to stay in the gym the drone gets a +4 parry from ducking behind the wall, though if an attack misses due to the cover you might still hit as you might be strong enough to go right through the wall.
Your damage is spot on but if you could total the damage for each attack then I can use you to check my math.
So best plan looks to be to plug your rolls into the Action 1 and Action 2 formulas above, roll the needed extra dice and get the values for X, X1, Y and Y1. I really doubt the drone will survive but this is good practice for when it will matter later.

I think you have it. It looks like the Wild die on attack 1 aced twice. You should roll that second ace it might matter this time.
Also, and this is important, are you entering the hallway to deprive the drone of their cover? I can't say what will hit or not if I do not know this. If you want the details on cover and attacking through it it is explained on pages 98 and 99 in the SWADE book.
Mr. Sardonicus
Perfect. I'm going to put stuff in the formulas because that is the way I think.
Bonus die (attack) from Imp. Frenzy {4 -2 Multi action penalty, +2 Wild attack} = 4

Mr Sardonicous Launches himself towards the door in a unnatural jump. His left claw slices through the door. It's pieces splinter as Mr Sardonicous back hits the ground beneath it. The force of the jump and the spin of his body causes him to stand up from the roll. His right claw rises up and cleaves the drone into several pieces. He slides to a stop while looking out the torn doorway. A guttural and violent hiss escapes his Fanged maw.
Resolution 1.2 School daze turn 2
Dave Merrily moving through unseen space the blue wall, is 8" away.

Ah-Rekhmire Benny spent. You easily fly through the opening. As you do you have clear vision on the 2 drones in the gym.
The bright blue bolts which flew from the ancient magicians' hands strike the two drones. The first simply seems to melt, then short circuit and crumble to the ground. The one by the door spits sparks and part of its casing melts, but it still stands.
He continues to hover over the gym, looking for other possible enemies. The air about him seems to flutter and gust like the air is holding him aloft.
4 rounds of flight left

Psiclops
When you fly over the edge of the roof you see that a single story building is attached to this side of the building you crashed in/onto. There are no doors or windows into this strange attached building. Looking further you can see that a wall extends from both short-sides of the large building and appears to wall off the block. You see no gate but you can only see half the block from where you are. there is a small (6 slot) parking lot on one side of the large building (side 2). It is empty and is cut off from street access by the wall. No vehicles are parked in the street. One of the buildings across the street has a closed garage door.
The wall is about 12 feet high and is made of sprayed V'crete. V-crete is the human name for a spray on fast hardening goo the invaders use when they need to build something fast. There is very likely a chain link fence under the now stone hard goo. The wall is topped with spooled razor wire. It was apparently added before the goo hardened as parts of the wire penetrate the wall.
That used 6" of movement with you remaining movement you could reach the roof of, or the ground beside the strange attached building. Or you could fly towards one of the short ends of the building (sides 1 or 3) which are 10" away. If you run you might get there. You could also return to the craft to take a better look through the hole in the roof or make your way over the roof ridge line to see the rest of side 4 and the other half of the block.
You head to the ground but apart from some dying grass and some fresh graffiti making the wall of the attached building look like it is bleeding a distorted name from a fresh cut. you note nothing interesting. That took 4 of your 6 remaining inches of flight. Since you stated you wanted to head for the roof and you are unlikely to deed to fight this turn I'm taking a Run action for you. Fly my pretties!(run): 1d6 ⇒ 3. So 5" back up puts you just onto the roof. 5" from the ridge line 4" from the hole and Craft.
Please let me know if I was correct in my assumption that you wish to retain the belt.
Psilock cannot be seen. Carrying a used belt. RIP Disco ball from hell.

Mr. Sardonicous The tall pale man becomes a blur as he hurls himself impossibly quickly across the gym floor and through the open doorway on side 3. The drone in that doorway seems to disappear under the vampires assault. A moment after that the drone's severed head rolls into the gym.
It is the moment after that when things get interesting.
....................................
Interruption! The thing you didn't know about comes off hold.
Heavy fire from multiple energy weapons obliterate the blue doorway with stray shots spattering randomly into the Gym. Then the lights go out.

Imagine For a few heart skipping moments after parting with your undead friend and solid ground you fear your belt was faulty. Did you put in on wrong? Then the foam padded hammer of the gravitics gives you a full body slam. This thing is LOUD as the orange-gold sphere surrounds you and stray bolts of lightning ground into the metal roof supports and start a couple of spot fires on the floor. You land and the field collapses leaving you standing in a circle of charred and melted floor wax with your belt gently smoking. You have an action. Wearing a used belt.

Drones: Out of action.

Imagine was happy.
After landing softly in her hyper-tech belt she was skipping along, literally singing, wondering what to do next. 'Maybe now I can take over that last drone. Then I can rip apart his mind and get some intel on what we're gonna see around here. Certainly we'll at least have eyes up if there's anything down that hal--'
Then the world exploded.
Seeing her new tall, dark, and vampiric friend suddenly in the crosshairs of OH WHAT IS THAT DOWN THERE Kara is shook almost as much as the loss of light. 'Yep, good thing I had those goggles...wherever they are now.'
For lack of other options she uses her last visual memory to sprint toward the wall with the Danger Door and flatten herself against the wall.
'Okay, playtime is over,' she mentally says to the entire group. "Can anyone destroy an entire heavy weapons squad? Or at least turn the lights back on?"
Once Psiclops gets the belt off, he drops it (probably on the roof).

You are near the center of the gym.
Side 1, the short side with the Drone in the doorway is 10" away and you would be in the drone's line of fire barring doing something creative.
Side 2, is the long side 6" behind you. Dave went through a door on this wall earlier. The drone has line of fire on the entire gym floor so you are exposed unless you nip through a handy wall.
Side 3, is the short side 10" behind you where you see Doc stuck to the wall above a blue door.
Side 4, is a long side 6" ahead of you. There are no doors in this wall.I'll give you 2" extra pace this turn only as your exact position was kind of undefined last turn. There are 3 player actions ahead of you so I do not expect the Drone will be there when your card resolves. No promises though.
Note: you need to make a Focus Roll target number 4 to go intangible/invisible. Each roll is an action so going from Human to invisible ghost is 2 focus rolls each at -2 for the Multi Action penalty or more if you also Run or take other actions.
As you are running and moving from human to full Ghost this turn (You have a pace of {6base+2bonus+5run} 13 everything is in range. In fact you only need to run if you are going for Side 1 or 3.) you will be making 2 Focus rolls vs.a target of 4. These rolls will be made at -4 or -2 if you did not Run.Does that make sense?

After the new playmates reveal themselves with some kind of energy weapon that take out the goth guy, Karma, being allergic to energy weapons even while intangible, decides to get out of the gym while she can. She manages to hasten her rate of flight with the help of her spirit friends, who draw her astral form toward the long wall without a door .
