Shooting once is a Simple Action, and I can do two of those in a turn, right? Yes, I copy and pasted that information for you in your spoiler. All the attack actions also have some variant of this sentence "cannot be combined with any other attacking Simple Action in the same Action Phase" There are a lot of things you can do with an attack action, here are some examples. Activate Focus Quick Draw
If not sure if something is an attack or not, ask yourself "would it be an attack if done to my character?"

Initiative
Sweeper:
You see a man fitting Hanes' description hiding behind a tank a few rows from Cammy observing you. Blacksap 18+ Maneuvers after Beta-Axe avoiding being seen I believe your limit is 6 hits Eyes 18 Sting 17 Stealthly moving Beta-Axe 14 Searches the guard and finds a com, an Ares Light Pistol and a magnetic coded ID card.

GM Rolls:
Deacon: Deacon drops the guard and alarms begin to go off in the compound.
You run toward the guard shack with your weapon at the ready. The guard fires a shot from behind the shack. and the bullets zoom past you. The guard is hit with multiple shock rounds and hits the ground shaking.
Beta-Axe: You are able to locate the guard's com and mark it before people start shooting up the place.
Sweeper:
The elevator lands and the door opens. It didn't seem to go low enough for you to be in the underground facility. You see a large warehouse of sorts and roots of the trees from above are connecting to tanks filled with humans. A guard is approaching you. "Another bum eh? Let me see if we have an open tank for him." The guard looks at a tablet and doesn't really look at you closely. No alarms go off, but there is increase in activity in the compound. Cav:
The nearest patrol is a team of 3 guards running in the courtyard under Secretary's position on the roof . Deacon:
You assense the aura of an awakened tree. It seems to be passively perceiving the area, like a magical alarm system. Blacksap: You will get your aim bonus. The sentry is speaking on his comms after secretary fires her weapon, then seems to become more active. He goes to the guard shack/elevator where Sweeper is currently on the bottom of and seems to be waiting for the elevator to rise again.
My post from my kindle got erased. In bed with an illness, I'll post tomorrow. For your first run this is ok. Certainly have broken the never split the party tenant, but shadowrun sometimes requires it.
Sweeper:
Beta-Axe:
You attempt to hide from the patrol. And successfully do so, but the IC is still looking for you and you know that if you attempt to mark the shack there is significant chance it will spot you. You instead reboot your deck. GM Rolls:
Blacksap:
You get a tingling feeling and from your knowledge of Knight Errant protocols, you know this is an indication that astral surveillance is going on around you. Deacon: You get a tingling feeling that you know all too well. Someone is assensing you from astral space.
Beta-Axe:
You fail to adjust the camera settings You mark the file You are unable to edit the file. A piece of Patrol IC has spotted you due to your failed hack attempts. Sweeper:
You knock out the guard cold. Whatever substance he was on has not helped his fortitude. The elevator continues to descend. Secretary/Cav:
Secretary is able to position herself with surprising ease and nothing seems to react to you. Blacksap/Deacon: A street cleaning drone is cleaning the side of the road you are parked on. Other than that there is no activity near you.
Beta-Axe:
You patch into the camera feed monitoring Sweeper. It takes you a little while, but eventually you fine an entry point from the Greek wing of the old museum. Interior Map Apparently there is a secret switch behind a statue of Hades. You see that it is a finger print and eye scan identifier. You will have to hack both to match someone on your team to get it open.
Secretary:
You sneak about the grove. You hear a grounds keeper approach and blend into the shadows. the grounds keeper is unaware of your presence and walks right past watering and examining the awakened maples and making idle conversation. "You're looking fine today Esmeralda. Would you like some water? I bet you would. There you go my dear."
Sweeper:
Sweeper heads into what he believes is the guard shack following the guard. The shack begins to descend, but Sweeper felt something was amiss and is posed to jump out. The guard doesn't react aggressively just says. "This is the way to change friend."
Secretary:
When you see the grove, you notice maple trees. With your knowledge of Evo corp you recall a program to create a more potent version of the awakened drug "Hectate's Blessing" being recently introduced. So far nothing has reacted to your presence. It looks like Sweeper goes inside the guard shack. The other sentry is reviewing the credentials of a driver of a Saeder-Krupp Bentley Concordat that just drove up to the gate. The vehicle has obvious modifications, including up armor.
I will do a post soon. It will probably be late Tuesday, early Weds before next one family in from out of town.
"Change, yes change is exactly what you need. Come with me and receive your change friend." The sentry approaches Sweeper to escort him inside. Deacon summons an earth elemental, but is hit with some stun damage.
The sentry turns to Sweeper and motions him to come closer."Sure friend, you are welcome here. Where is your little girl? We can feed her too. Judge Intentions 3 hits:
Although this is an unexpected response, you sense no malice or hidden agenda. Medicine/Drug Knowledge 2 hits: The sentry has the demeanor of someone influenced by a strong substance.
Beta-Axe:
A patrol IC passes you by without stopping as you mark the host. You notice patrols around the host have increased since your last visit. Sweeper:
As you creep along, you notice Cameras at the gate and he corners of the wall. One of the gate sentries looks in your direction. He has some obvious augmentation of his eyes. Blacksap:
You notice some of the same cameras Sweeper does, at the gate and corners of the building. The wall seems to be shielding much of the thermos of the area inside. The traffic around the facility is still lite, though you expect it to increase once the local game lets out. The gate sentries seem diligent in their duties.
Ok right, I missed you using edge.
Exploding sixes? Is this from a quality you have?
Beta-Axe:
At first you find little on the New Revolution. You find one news headline that talks about a failed coup in 2064 where they tried to reestablish the original United States back to its former glory. After 30 mins though you happen upon a strange message on an obscure forum titled "Neuworld Revolutionaries" When you access the icon you hear this song Neuworld The last post is by someone calling themselves Disciple of Ismenios. This catches your eye because one of the BTLs you were testing for Hanes was called the Eyes of Ismenios. The thread simply reads- Assemble Create Truth Signal @2813. This doesn't look like any kind of 'L33tspeak you have seen.
Deacon:
The fire spirit confirms a mana barrier in the area and it has greatly reduced his assensing. He can confirm Cammy is beyond the barrier, but can not gain any further information. He also informs you that as he peered through the barrier he was detected and a group of water spirits were summoned to chase him off. He can sense that the summoner was assensing his aura with the intent of tracking. Beta-Axe:
You find a bounty notice from Neonet for one Hanes Van Volkman. 20,000 nuyen dead. There is no further information listed, but has a comm number attached for a Neonet official named Juliana Yong. You also find a Knight's Errant arrest record for one Hanes Volkman for inciting violence at the MIT@T campus. <Hanes Volkman 1/15/65 Processed to New Cambridge detention facility for the following- Failure to comply with officers, Inciting violence during anti-meta human protest, trespassing, destruction of public property. Self identified as a member of the New Revolution, a recognized anti-metahuman hate group...>
So this was totally unexpected! Well done, Beta Axe is floored. Very good. I intend to use most of your backstories in this. This first mission will focus on yours, and a bit of Secretary's since she has connections in the Irish Mob
Cav, Feel free to post now. I have posted a spoiler for you. I intend to introduce you to the group in the current scene. Your fixer has hooked you up with Emmet who wants you to work with Secretary and her team to track down his God-Daughter, Cammy who also happens to be Beta-Axe's ex-fiancé.
Sounds good Secretary, I do not have run faster yet that and rigger 5.0 are next to be purchased.
Beta-Axe: The Roxx are low level enforcers for the Boston Mafia, though they see their role as probably more equal than it really is and Conor O'Rilley allows them this delusion so long as they do his bidding. Jamal "Two Time" Dred is the leader of the Roxx and believes and acts like a mafia made man, but this is just his delusion.
This is Cav, the new rigger. He's still a work in progress as I try to remember 5E rules, but this sheet out of Chummer looks mostly done to me. Cav eh? Well as a veteran of the 3rd Armored Cavalry I like it.
Q: Are we looking for a getaway driver type of Rigger or a drone swarm of death kind of Rigger? Bit of both? A bit of both maybe, but feel free to post in discussion and talk with the group
I'll whip up a Rigger with Chummer asap, then. Thanks I appreciate it.
Our group's Rigger is MIA, so accepting one more to fill that role. If he should show up again will run with 2 that's fine. People drop off in PbP so better to have more than less in my experience.
Deacon: You are able to scout out the upperlevel of the EVO facility without too much interference, infact it seems almost inviting. A wealth of life is inside the upperfloor. However when you attempt to perceive a lower level there is a significant barrier.
Once Sweeper backs off Najla rolls up her window. As the party pulls away with Blacksap at the helm they can see her in the review mirror cursing and pulling the RFID tag off her vehicle. She stares at the party's SUV drive off with a look of pure anger. The group makes it to Beta-Axe's safe house without further incident.
Sounds good, its funny you mention that in fact because today I just picked up a good amount of the set from my local store. I now have in addition to the core- Run and Gun, Chrome Flesh, Street Grimoire, Data Trails, and Market Panic. I have also become a Catalyst Demo Agent for my local store and have started a Shadowrun Missions group. So I am getting there in terms of my knowledge of the system, but I appreciate the help! Thanks.
Thermographic:
Heat signatures of 2 ork sized metahumans inside. One driver, other passenger. Feint heat signature in the back probably powered tech of some sort. The clerk looks at Secretary with a bit of lustful awe "Yes, um sure you can use it. I can do you a favor, I'm Ralph..." The clerk continues to prattle on after Secretary is long gone.
The nearest stuffer shack is a few blocks east. Your group gives people a little bit of pause, but nothing too out of the ordinary for the neighborhood. You can easily find the hardware you are looking for. Perception or Memory 3 hits: You notice a Black SUV that was parked at "Knockers" is now parked across the street from the Stuffer Shack. The windows are tinted, and the vehicle is still running.
That is fine Harry. I am more lenient with this game as I understand the character creation can be extensive and it is easy to miss something vital. I for one am still constantly learning something new about this system.
Thanks for addressing their questions. I will add also that your deck attributes are not constant and can be rearranged. Unless otherwise stated I will go with the standard array, but there will be times you may want to boost the firewall at the expense of other attributes. Pg 227 and 228 talk about deck configuration.
You all leave "Knockers" and the ork some of you noticed before near the door eyes you leave. It is early evening and the traffic is heavy. A local bloodsport is the hot ticket tonight in the south Rox. Thankfully that means traffic flowing north towards your target it lite, though leaving may be a bit more trouble...
Beta-Axe:
You are able to get some information. The host has a rating of 9, but its firewall is weaker than you expect at a 6. Their is a fire escape that is easily accessed from the back of the building, though there is a fenced in area. As you were collecting this information a patrol program spotted you and began to relay information to other programs. You were able to jack out before receiving any marks. Argyle, the dwarf bartender at knockers exclaims "Damn kids! No spirits inside the bar! You know the rules! I'll call your professors at MIT@T just see if I don't!"
Wow! Ok cool ill be waking up soon and responding to all this
"All needs can been seen too master Deacon I assure you. As to liquidating, that I would caution against. The items I offer are extremely rare and a sly gumshoe could trace them back to me." Shirow mentions his tone a bit more serious. He looks at secretary and nods "I look forward to hearing what you have found."
"Security on the ground level is intense. Expect a few wagemages and armed patrols. I do not know what you'll find in the underground."
When asked about the quality of the gear, Shirow grabs a fork off the table and jams it into his hand. The fork bends. "Hel Skin. Combining some of the best features of Second Skin and a Hel suit for top EVO execs on mars. Bleeding edge. I have enough for one more application for the right person. Just one example of what I have to offer. "
