#98: Johnson troubles from the first

(1)

After receiving the lowdown for their first job from a Johnson, Piece and Zerk go to confer in a corner.



Piece: "This guy doesn't sit well with me."

Zerk: "He's a Johnson... If he doesn't rub you the wrong way, he's not doing his job right."

#97: Learning SR3E: The finishing blow

(1)

During the time that the GM was trying to wrap his head around how magic works in Shadowrun, he had several gangers attack a stuffer shack while the players were in there. When all but the last enemy has fallen, Rocin bows towards the final ganger next to him, pulls back his sword, and says



Rocin: "Omae wa mou shindeiru"

GM (As ganger): "NANI??"



Rocin then added in his full combat pool to the attack and got 11 successes. The ganger rolls to resist and gets decapitated when the rolls showed all 1's.

#96: Learning SR3E: Magic

(1)

The GM has decided to learn SR3E. As part of this, he did a simple encounter that involved magic. During this short encounter, Rocin sparked up a conversation with a home invading troll.


Rocin: "So... you're a Halloweener?"

GM (as troll): "I was, but they kicked me out when I caused trouble with the yaks"

Rocin: "That's just like them... they treat you well until you cause trouble. Then they throw you out."

GM (as troll): "Just like me dear old mum" *sniffs*

Rocin: "That's us trolls, we have a face that not even a mother could love. Now then, you boys need to move along, and no more robbing people! Or I'm going to have to murder you."

*Rolls intimidation*

GM (as troll): "You sound just like me dear old dad... he used to threaten me every night. Just before I went to bed."

*Sniffs*

GM (as troll): "Yes sir."

#95: Learning SR3E

(0)

So... the GM decided that it was time to learn a little Shadowrun 3E, and he ran a random combat night. During this combat, the players, as always, took a few hits.

Rocin: "You mildly dented my shield!"
Tana: "You tore some threads out of my jacket!"

Rocin proceeded to inflict deadly damage with a moderate damage weapon while Tana killing hands a mofo in the face.

#94: Lazarus raves

(0)

After an infiltration where the team dressed up as power employees, bluffed their way through the building, and ended up in a fight with some blood mages, the crew now needs to escape. This entire time, Lazarus has been raving in a barely coherent Scottish/Irish accent about the generators. They come around a corner and meet some guards:

GM (as guards, taking in blood soaked party): "We heard gunshots, what happened?"
Lazarus (IC): "The building loses power for 5 minutes and you bloody imbeciles start sacrificing people to your bloody blood gods!"
Slade (IC): "It's messy back there"
Lazarus (IC): "Did you know that they have a fucking blood powered generator? What's with all the blood? It's just a little power outage!"

#93: Magics in the air

(0)

Inside an Aztechnology complex, Slade looks around in the astral for any signs of magic and awakened. The air is thick and hazy with residual magic.

Lazarus (IC): "Any awakened? Any magic?"
Slade (IC): "Well, if magic was BO, this place would really stink"

#92: Getting started with plans

(1)

Blue needs to cut power to a large Aztechnology complex. After she finds out where the cables are running from and what power distribution center is being used:

Blue (IC): "Ok, first thing we need to do is cut power to the building. That happens here."
Slade (IC, pulls out swords): "I got this!"
Blue (IC): "...He'll never make it back alive"

#91: A new vehicle for wheels

(2)

Upon completion of the mission, Wheels makes a snap decision to buy a remote controlled human. The human was the fixer's barkeep for a while and was being forced to work due to a persona chip. Wheels then realizes that he, as a rigger, might have something that he can do with this...

Wheels (OC): "Did I just buy a human that I can jack into to??"
Wheels Sends a text to Blue:

Wheels (IC): "Lolz. Just bought a person."
Blue (IC): "Lol, just one?"
Wheels (IC): "For now"

#90: Take 2 on escaping

(2)

A very angry wendigo, having falled out of the van, lost it's concentration and became perfectly visible again. Wheels circles around once more to try pick up Pax and get out of there.

Wheels (IC): "Get in the van!"
Pax (OC): "Do I see the wendigo?"
GM (OC): "You do."
Pax (OC): "I punch him!"
Wheels (IC, as pax runs off): "NO!! We were so close to escaping!!"

#89: That's a callback

(1)

A very angry, invisible wendigo jumps in the back of Wheel's van before Pax is able to board. Because Wheels is jumped in to the van through his control rig, he notices the wendigo enter. Pax immediately asked:

Pax (OC): "How does the wendigo FEEL inside you?"
Wheels (OC): "Large, furry, and uncomfortable. Not to mention, lots of pent up anger."

#88: Movement isn't that important anyways

(1)

Pax took a single large blow that nearly left him unconscious. Wheels drove nearby and starts shouting at Pax to get in the van. The GM asks:

GM: "Anything you want to do with your movement?"
Wheels (IC, in the distance): "MAKE YOUR WAY TOWARD THE VAN!"
Pax (IC): "I'm just going to kinda lay down here... my head is hurting, I took a huge hit...."
Wheels (IC): "No! Make your way towards the van!"
Pax (OC): "I'll kinda crawl towards the van."

#87: Is there any such thing as too much?

(2)

A phrase not usually heard in shadowrun:

Blue (IC): "To be honest.... our backup plan might require more explosives. I didn't think that was possible!"

#86: Continuing ethical conundrums

(1)

Slade (IC): "Why don't we ask someone if they'd rather die OR be subjected to experimentation by an evil AI?"

Blue (IC): "Well then they alert the guards!"

Slade (IC): "At that point we kill them."

#85: Mystery Serum

(1)

After a johnson starts impersonating a robot, hands a green serum over, and pays the party to inject a someone inside their target facility with it, the party had several doubts about the situation. In the end, the ethical pickle was dealt with.

Slade (IC): "Soo.... what are we going to do with the mystery serum? Inject someone with it? Destroy it? I want to destroy it."

Lazarus (IC): "We should just inject someone. It's a lot of money. Besides, it's Aztechnology! There's gotta be at least a dozen assholes."

#84: How to make money

(1)

The runners saw some gangers grabbing people off the street and shoving them in the back of a semi. Pax rolled ganger knowledge and realized they were a gang known for grabbing people and selling them to ghouls.

Pax (IC): "Wait... do Ghouls actually pay GOOD MONEY for bodies?? Could we have been making MORE MONEY off of this when we kill people?"
Wheels (IC): "Do you want to try it?"
Pax (IC): "No we shouldn't... that would be wrong."
Wheels (IC): "Besides, I don't know and ghouls to get in contact with!"
Pax (IC, aside): "Must.... find.... ghoul.... contact."

#83: The PLAN

(1)

Slade has found a large hermetic circle in a basement guarded by three high force spirits. He decides to run a plan by the team....

Slade (IC): "We could plant explosives, leave, and then blow them up!"
Lazarus (IC): "You're sounding like wheels. We should refocus our priorities on finding the girl."
Blue (IC): "We'll call exploding the house plan 'B'."
Lazarus (IC): "Yeah. 'B' for bad."

#82: Deckers finding addresses

(1)

Blue needs to find the address of a person. She hacks into their computer and says the following.

Blue (OC): "I'm in his computer, so I use his account to send him a package through Aztechnology Prime and see what address pops up...."

#81: Aftermath of the fight

(1)

As the fight finishes, one of the trees that is on fire has a branch break off and start the crops on fire.

Wheels (IC): "Those potatoes were probably worth a lot."
Pax (IC): "Those trees were were probably worth a lot too!"
Wheels (OC): "Oh right... wood is valuable. Why is it that I always end up destroying the trees when we run?"

#80: How bad could it be?

(2)

After most of the enemies were dead on the ground from Pax (who kept mimicking one punch man):

Wheels (OC): "You know, when I was on the ground, lit on fire, surrounded by like 15 people, I was a little bit worried."
GM: "So was I... for the enemies!"

#79: Hellhounds escalate

(0)

Wheels (OC): "Alright. I want my drones to try shoot the hellhounds hanging off of Pax's butt."
GM:: "Cool. Left cheek or right cheek?"
Wheels (OC): "Right. And because I'm a NICE person, I'm NOT using the flamethrower."
