'Killjoy''s page

I'm back, guys. That flu really did a number on me. Thanks for your patience.

"Milk run, my hoop," Killjoy mutters, stepping over the unconscious body of the guard he shot.

Upstairs, the decker begins his work of installing the node. "I can set up a channel when I'm finished up here. What should we do with the ones that are still alive?" he asks.

Hardware+Logic: 11d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 6, 1, 4, 5, 6, 4, 3, 6) = 46 = 5 hits (10 minutes)
Hardware+Logic: 11d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 2, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 2, 2) = 35 = 8 hits (20 minutes)

"This drek is more complicated than it seems," he says, almost to himself. "So old I might as well be chiseling a wheel out of stone.

Hardware+Logic: 11d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 6, 5, 6, 3) = 38 = 12 hits (30 minutes)

"There we go, got it." The ork announces, flashing a tusky grin. "What now?"

Hey, guys. Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I've been working through a flu bug.

Sorry. I've been having internet problems for the past few days.

Pistols (Semi-Automatics) + Agility: 13d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 1, 6, 2, 5, 2, 4, 4, 1, 5, 4) = 44 = 4 hits

I hope I did that right. 3 Pistols + 2 Specialty + 9 Agility + 1 Smartlink + 1 Aim last round - 3 Weather.

Killjoy takes his shot, trying to knock out the last guard at the base of the tower.

It's not listed as such on my character sheet, although I have spare clips and 30 ammo. I'd like to think that Killjoy would opt to have non-lethal options ready to do first; no need to kill somebody if you don't have to. I'll leave it up to you, o' benevolent game master.

Guessing that these guards were running dark based on the fact that their comms were offline, Killjoy decides to break for cover. He was no use sitting in the open like that. Once he's there, he draws his Savalette Guardian and takes aim at the guards.

Quick Draw (Reaction+Pistols) Threshold 2: 14d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 1, 4, 5, 6, 2, 2, 2, 5) = 48 = 5 hits

Simple Action to Move, Simple Action to Quick Draw/Take Aim

Is it too late to say that my pistol comes pre-loaded with Stick-n-Shock ammo?

I think because I bought three Antennae earware that my Noise is reduced by three. Does that counteract the -3?

And I was specifically targeting Guard 2, which I believe is the one Rick didn't attack.

Killjoy curses under his breath when Rick swings at the first guard. Pulling down his ballistic mask, the decker finds the other guard's commlink and attempts to gain access.

Brute Force Hack (Logic+Hacking): 15d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 1, 3, 5, 3, 6, 6, 1, 4, 6, 1, 5, 2) = 59 = 6 hits

-3? Brutal. I went from Reaction 6 to a pool of 2. XD

Anybody have a better pool than that? I'd hate to crash my car in the first time out.

Legwork on Quantum Princess (Computer+Logic): 11d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2, 6, 6, 1, 5, 1, 3, 6) = 38 = 4 hits

If Killjoy gets to look at one of the nodes (checking for any hardware piggybacking on the node) Hardware+Logic: 11d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 5, 5, 6, 2, 6, 1, 6, 3) = 41 = 5 hits

"So that's the plan for now?" Killjoy asks. "We're just caravaning over there?

"My Jackrabbit is parked over there," Killjoy gestures. "But I don't think you all will fit."

"I'm Killjoy, by the way. Decker and Matrix warrior for hire." He flashes a tusky grin and extends his hand to whoever will take it. "Any chance I could check out one of the nodes our Ms. Johnson gave us?"

Killjoy, who had been silent up this point, leans forward. "Makes sense. Nodes in the CZ have probably gone untouched for decades. The tech must be ancient." The ork bites his tongue on the next part. Who is Quantum Princess and why was she interested in repairing Matrix infrastructure in the CZ? Those were questions he could answer later.

Killjoy was slighter than the average ork, with small tusks. He was practically human-like, although not so much that the average viewer would mistake him for the genuine article. His light green-grey skin is covered in tattoos that mark his Aztec heritage. He wears an armored coat over a bright yellow Shield Wall shirt (vintage, of course), black utility pants, and a set of brown working boots. His right arm is bright chrome and loaded with tech, including his prized possession, a modded Microtronica Azteca 300.

Once his questions are answered to his satisfaction, he focuses on the buzzing AR of his custom contact lenses and begins to search for any information on Quantum Princess he can find.

Negotiation wasn't his strong suit.

Sorry. I misunderstood you. I'll get something up right now.

Sorry about the delay. Just got back from a crazy day at work. Am I okay to jump in now?

Question: how well do we know our fellow runners?

Dot.

I missed the call to move over here. Hoi, chummers!

I found the relevant quote. It's on pg. 223 in the Core Book.

"A deck can perform all of the functions of a commlink, but its primary purpose is hacking in the Matrix."

How do you calculate leftover nuyen? According to Chummer, I have 1,055 remaining from character creation.

Robo, where does Curiousity Killed the Cat come from? I saw your cyberdeck but no CommLink?

Curiosity Killed the Cat is from Data Trails (pg. 46).

Also, I thought that I read a cyberdeck functions as a commlink with the added hacking capabilities. I'll check the rulebook and get back to you.

Here's Killjoy, R0B0GEISHA's decker.

Backstory isn't finished, but here's the crunch for approval.
