Pax, a very heavily armored troll, kept getting attacked by hellhounds. They were nowhere near strong enough to cause any serious damage, so he was convinced they were trying to play with him. Eventually, one began savaging his shoe while two others bit him from behind on the behind. They hung on for dear life while Pax ran towards a group of bow wielding maniacs.

GM: "Now I'm picturing a troll with 2 hellhounds attached to his buttocks trying to run at full speed, and I gotta tell you the picture is glorious!"
Wheels (OC): "... with the hounds just flapping in the breeze."
GM: "As you make it there and punch one of the guys, the hellhounds flap about helplessly, tangled up in your clothing. One manages to slap into one of the guys."

Wheels lit on fire and killed (In that order) Kira's husband. She (a technomancer) retaliated by nearly killing Wheels with his own flamethrower. Through some heroics (while on fire), Wheels managed to take her out, disabling one of his drones in the process.

Whels (IC): "She's dead, right? Well... at least she doesn't miss her husband anymore!"

GM: "Alright, I gotta figure out what's happening here. I haven't worked with technomancers much. Ah, here we go! And I quote: 'Kill someone with their own drone....' "
Wheels (OC): "I don't like where this is going!"

Pax (OC): "I do a graceful troll dodge."

*Rolls. Gets no successes.*

Pax (OC): "That DOES seem about right."

After Wheels angered the leader of a colony of people living inside tree forts built on trees growing INSIDE a building:



Wheels (IC): "Someone with a lot of money decided this place is theirs now!"

GM (as Kira): "They can't do that, this is OUR home. I'd like to see them try take us out."

Wheels (IC): "Well it's theirs. I'm sure we can come to an arrangement here."

GM (as Kira): "Maybe... maybe.... but hear me out now. No."

Wheels (IC): "Good talk!"

Wheels and Pax need to get through a locked door.



Wheels (IC): "Think you could punch it open?"



Pax thinks for a moment, and then, as though HE thought of the idea, says:



Pax (IC): "I think I'll punch it open!"

Pax (IC, softly to himself): "I don't listen to people smaller than me. I don't have to listen to anyone very often."

Scarlet had been asking EVERYONE if they were secretly a man, ever had been a man (including men), if they were always a man or woman, etc. One person fought back (and lost).



Scarlet (IC): "Are you a man?"

GM (as Fayette): "no"

Scarlet (IC): "Are you sure?"

GM (as Fayette): "Yes."

Scarlet (IC): "Have you always been a woman?"

GM (as Fayette): "Yes."

Scarlet (IC): "And you're sure you're not a man?"

GM (as Fayette): "Look, do I need to flash you??"

Scarlet (IC): "Well... I wouldn't say no."

Mr. Frazzle is attempting to cut a deal with a gang leader to leave Scarlet behind.



Mr. Frazzle (IC): "Can I leave her here? Please?"

GM (as ganger): "No.... take her with you! We don't want her!"

Mr. Frazzle (IC, Desperately): "Please, I'm begging you! Let me leave her! I'm begging you."

GM (as ganger): "So am I.... so am I"

GM (As clerk): "Why yes, she and her boyfriend came through here a few days ago. They had a pretty good competition going on. I think they won some 10,000 nuyen."

Scarlet (IC): "What a slut!"

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "You can't keep calling people sluts."

Scarlet (IC): "You keep out of this skank!"

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "Or skanks."

Scarlet accidentally turns her commlink's flashlight on while attempting to take a selfie.


Scarlet (IC): "Gah! My eyes!"

*silence*

Scarlet (IC): "I just found a flashlight!"

As they walk out of their meeting with a Johnson:



Scarlet (IC): "I need to go to an adult store!"

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "Why there?"

Scarlet (IC): "I want to get a new outfit... a skank outfit."

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "Why? We need to blend in!"

Scarlet (IC): "Ok, I hear your point, but, can I counter with Slutty Catholic Girl outfit!"

Mr. Frazzle is walking very hunched over through the hallways. Scarlet, obliviously, asks why he's hunched over.



Mr. Frazzle (IC): "In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a giant!"

Scarlet (IC): "Oh, you are? I thought you just needed to lose weight"

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "What?"

Scarlet (IC): "Lemme guess, you're just big boned!"

The group is standing outside a building. Scarlet takes out the hellhound to let it relieve itself.... all over the sidewalk. The sidewalk starts to smoke a little bit.



Scarlet (IC): "It's just a sidewalk, it's not like anyone owns it or anything."

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "The city owns that."

Mr. Frazzle (OC): "Anyways, GM, what happens?"

GM: "You get a..."

Scarlet (IC): "Wait, can you talk to the narrator too?"

Mr. Frazzle (IC): "Oh yeah"

Scarlet (IC): "Anyway, Mr. Narrator, what are we doing today?"

GM: "Well, as I was about to say...."

GM: "At this point, everyone else is dead, unconsious, or dying. Is there anything else you'd like to do?"

Blue (OC): "I'm going to wait until we're far away from the bar and then blow it up"

Lazarus (OC): "I'm going to gently guide everyone into the car where I then punch the Oni"

Group as whole: "Who's still on fire"

Lazarus (OC): "I mean, the intent is to render unconsious, not harm."

*Rolls dice*

Lazarus (OC): "So you take 5 stun damage"

Slade (OC): And I'm still on fire.

Lazarus managed to keep Slade from burning to death (for some reason) by almost, but not quite, putting out the fire. Blue placed the TWO detonators into Slade's hands(one for the rating 35 explosive 10m away, one for the rating 21 explosive 14 meters away), patched him up with a medkit and brought him round.



Slade (IC): "Where am I, what am I doing... what are these in my hands?"

Blue (IC): "Detonators... don't worry about it."

Lazarus (IC): "You're still on fire."

Slade (IC): "Yeah... I know."

Slade cast a force 6 fireball at a group of Orcs in the doorway 4 meters away. He ALSO decided to use some edge to REALLY make this one have a lasting impact. Unfortunately, he (And Lazarus) were were within the fireball radius...



GM: "Well... all the orcs are on fire. Thankfully the explosive hidden behind the counter DOESN'T explode if lit on fire."

Blue (OC): "Fun fact... it WOULD go off if both lit on fire AND struck!"

Lazarus (OC): "I'm barely left standing..."

Slade (OC): "I'm really hurt too."

*Slade checks the condition monitor*

Slade (OC): "What does it mean when I only have one grey square left?"

Lazarus and GM: "You're nearly dead."

Slade (OC): "Wow... that really hurt then!"

GM: "I think this is also the time I should mention that we need to find out if you're on fire now...."

Lazarus (OC): "You know.... my "comrades" have done 300% more damage to me than the "enemies".

Blue makes it out the front door (Well... front hole post explosion) and wants to get around the building. This is going to be a run action, so dice rolling is needed.

GM: "Well, what's your movement for running?"

Blue (OC): "12m, I doubt I could make the 20 meters then, my agility isn't that good."

Lazarus (OC): "Really? What's your agility?"

Blue (OC): "5"

Lazarus (OC): "You can JOG at residential driving speeds!"

Lazarus (OC, quietly): "Yeah... all like 'my agility isn't that good'... Ha!"

After a rating 25 explosive mounted on the front door goes off, everyone rolls a general body check to see if they're deafened by the noise (they were out of explosion range, but still "close"). Blue is left with tinnitus while Slade and Lazarus are struggling to hear each other.

Lazarus (IC): "Oh great, I'm not on fire. Always a nice plus."

Slade (IC): "What? Speak up!"
