I don't suppose I see what they're armed with, or if the speech indicated what they were planning on doing beyond fighting.

You think you can bring 50 security and officers into the battle, leaving the remainder to hold things down.

Sounds good, Daymar will start leading his force to confront the mob.

They've got random objects they've laid their hands on. Mostly larger objects. The kitchens have been raided for anything useful like knives, and a fair number of heavy tools have been obtained.



They seem to have the goal of disabling the ship somehow, not defeating the converted forces. The speech is a little on the "make our deaths count" fatalistic side. You don't hear about the specific target.

Any particular route or formation you want to put them in as they travel?

I'm going to try and slip in there to take the wind out of their sails by cutting down the NCO.

Stealth succeeds by two...

Oops, forgot note rate of fire there (another +2 for ten shots). With the rate of fire that means a hit out to 10 meters (only 5 meters if not).

Here's a tactics roll to help inform that, but generally I think it would be best if we had security distributed at around the flanks and edges of the group, with the regular crew men in the middle. Daymar is seeking the most direct route possible to the mob.

Hua struggles to make her way through the crowd, and a woman she bumps looks around and then waves her hand, striking Hua's invisible chest.

Thanks. Security with guns hold the wings, while the "melee troops" mass in the center, supported by some of the security.


The group is moving into position rather quickly.

OK, guess I should start firing wildly through the crowd before the form up around me and kick my head in.

I honestly find it hard to imagine only hitting four times in a crowded room, so here's 10 damage rolls. I imagine the fewer hits mean the further away people are hit instead of close people?

[1243] 23-02-10 01:00:19 CET
Damage rolls
3d6
1: 3 + 6 + 5 = 14
2: 5 + 5 + 3 = 13
3: 1 + 5 + 1 = 7
4: 1 + 6 + 3 = 10
5: 3 + 6 + 6 = 15
6: 4 + 4 + 6 = 14
7: 5 + 1 + 1 = 7
8: 4 + 1 + 2 = 7
9: 2 + 1 + 6 = 9
10: 6 + 4 + 4 = 14

sum: 110, average: 11.00

Then I guess I need to start running away to make a retreat.

Will Hua stand and fire for a turn before running, or run and fire at the same time?

I was planning on treating the shots as suppressing fire.

Should the evade be DX or acrobatics? you actually have acrobatics, which is a good thing, just checking if there is a specific rule.

I guess that came off a bit snarkier than I meant and I hadn't seen the roll either. I was going for, "Aww, it didn't work out again."

Sure. Suppressing fire's and AoA so that's half move right?

Let's go with acrobatics.

I'm pretty sure firing wildly into a crowd while running the other way isn't actually an all out attack... Lets call that move an attack... its just in a crowded environment the result is close to suppression.

Let's go with acrobatics.

Hua sprays bullets while dashing and flipping through the crowd. There is shouting as people are hit*. She sees people swinging hard at places they thought she was: only acrobatics are keeping her from actually being targeted. She hasn't run into anyone, at least not hard and from the front.


* five of them, though I don't know that anyone has the situational awareness to actually know this.
