***ROLL 23: COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 7
Faust: 0
Vargall: 7 (UNCONSCIOUS)
Bright: 12
Backsmasher: 10

KICKWOMAN: 34


KICKWOMAN slams her knee onto Backsmasher's ribcage, dealing 4S damage! The troll is mildly inconvenienced by this.





KICKWOMAN pays Bright no mind. Seems she's too focused in the FIGHT.




Backsmasher desperately attempts to reactivate his ninja jutsus and slink back into the shadows!
He thinks maybe he did it? At least KICKWOMAN is no longer looking at him. Or kicking him, for that matter.





Allie heals Vargall for 3hp, just enough to get him back into consciousness. She then decides it's probably wisest to get the hell away, and runs down the hall after Faust.






Vargall hops back to his feet in one fluid motion and pops two shots at KICKWOMAN, missing terribly both times.






Faust takes the fire escape and begins descending. Thankfully Bright's apartment was only on the second floor, so he makes it down without incident.

The street is littered with passerby in the usual Seattle drizzle, and some are stopping to look at the fire that's now coming through Bright's apartment's windows. You hear the sirens of a fire engine in the distance.



---SECOND INITIATIVE PASS---


KICKWOMAN sprints out of the room, going after Faust! She passes Allie along the way then begins speeding down the fire escape!


Vargall unloads his revolver in KICKWOMAN's general direction, but the smoke that is filling the room makes it difficult too difficult to aim. No hits.


Backsmasher is one with the shadows.


---THIRD INITIATIVE PASS---

Vargall attempts to aim at KICKWOMAN, but she has already moved out of his line of sight.


The fire and smoke thicken.

Maybe you should consider getting out of the burning apartment?



What will you do?

Wait am I unconscious again from the smoke?
if not:
Leave the apartment as quickly as possible and get back in the car. Invite fellow shadowrunners to join me for another adventure.

***ROLL 24: COMBAT ROLL***


Rolling for initiative!

Allie: 8 (Edge raises to !!999!!)
Faust: 0
Vargall: 9
Bright: 13
Backsmasher: 10

KICKWOMAN: 29

---In the Fire Escape Stairwell---




Allie runs out after KICKWOMAN, and meets her gaze as the spirit begins to descend the next flight of stairs.

...

...

KICKWOMAN falls to her knees, blank-eyed and shivering slightly. I guess briefly connecting straight into Allie's mind has that effect on people.

KICKWOMAN is bound by Allie! KICKWOMAN owes Allie 1 Service!





Bright cartwheels out of the room right behind Allie and unleashes his full martial arts prowess onto the stunned KICKWOMAN!

SET UP MOVE SUCCESSFUL!

HIT! 10P DAMAGE!

F-F-F-FINISHING MOOOOOOOOOVE!

HIT! 5P DAMAGE!

DAMAGE STATUS: *MAXIMUM OVERFLOW*

Kickwoman is smashed onto the floor, opening large cracks onto the concrete. He form begins to phase in and out of existence.

"O-one foot... In the grave..."

Kickwoman dissipates into a thin puddle of ectoplasm. KICKWOMAN has been vanquished!

---On the Street---



Backsmasher ignores the fight and runs after the wounded summoner, screaming like a man possessed!

...Faust completely fails to notice him, as does most of the crowd. A few troll-sized steps later, and Backsmasher is right at Faust's side.


---In the burning apartment---



Vargall has A PLAN. He jumps out the window and-

Vargall falls facefirst down onto the street. Perhaps the quickest route was not necessarily the safest.

ANYWAYS! He gets into his truck, revs up the engine, then honks the horn repeatedly, hailing the others in morse code and inviting them to join him in another adventure!


---On the street---




Faust, clutching his bleeding stump, attempts to get as far away from the murderous legspirit as possible. He doesn't manage to get TOO deep into the crowds, but at least he's pretty sure no one followed him, especially no giant invisible trolls.

Faust hears Vargall calling him back to the car with morse code honking.



What will you do?
