Scott keeps a sharp eye out in the rear: we don't want anyone sneaking up on us.

Flash Step roll 11 - Brings Xi'an up behind the brigand where he launches a deceptive attack at -2, of -1 to active defences (With an additional -2 for the runaround, makes -1,.. Doesn't matter, as roll is a 6 - CRIT

Damage roll is 41(10) points of cutting unless there is a crit effect.
You flash stepped, and cut a chunk of the poor mook's chest. Blood everywhere.

OK. You do realize that you have a weapon that does the most damage (8d) of any pistol. This can be useful if you're alone (you are), defending against possible boarders.

You wait a few turns and then somebody comes into sight about 10 meters away. They have shoulders painted red and gold.

Are they armed? what about armor? are they walking or running? is their weapon out?


I take it I'm in a position to take cover on a corner.



Marc said they marked their shoulders with purple and gold ... you're sure about the minor mismatch?

They have an smg out. They were walking, but now they are running towards you.

Sorry, not much cover aside from a vending machine or such.

Sorry, I meant purple.

Cover behind the vending machine is better than nothing, I suppose.

lets go ahead and spend the FP to double the EK shield. Rolled a 13... not great. But a success, I think?



OCC: I presume this happens as soon as I saw the main with the gold and purple shoulders, as per our OCC conversation.

It's a success and the shield is just a commpn
OK. And it's QP, not FP. You have double your shield against physical attacks. I'm going to assume you mean PK Shield, which works against bullets.

It takes one concentrate maneuver, so it's one second. It would take him that long to fire, unless he wants to take wild shots and he doesn't.

The next second your shield is up and you are protected (10 points worth).
