BlueNinja Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 When Lupin/Joshua got in the car, the fleeing shooters were about 50 meters away from them (40 from Li and Azura). The corner is about 60 meters away. The Deusie has a better acceleration, so it might be able to catch up to the first two cars, but Azura will be hard-pressed to make it to the corner before they're completely out of range of Li's TK.

SkyLion Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I thought we had discussed that next round he would be able to go for the driver...,, So are you saying that Lis action may not be attempted and I should remove them, or that I should edit it so it happens before the car turns the corner...a bit confused.-EDIT-Okay, so he now acts before the corner.

ezekiel Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Acts how? When Lupin/Joshua got in the car, the fleeing shooters were about 50 meters away from them (40 from Li and Azura). The corner is about 60 meters away. The Deusie has a better acceleration, so it might be able to catch up to the first two cars, but Azura will be hard-pressed to make it to the corner before they're completely out of range of Li's TK Li used his powers on a car as it turned the corner and pulled its top off. The cars are around the corner, by the time Li reaches the corner the cars will be out of reach.Your action as posted can't be done.Edit: Maybe you just want to try to jump in the Deusenberg? ::confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Er....earlier when posting, BN and I were IMing and he said that next round Li would be able to get an action on the driver, before they were out of range...which is why I am confused...,, And yes he will be jumping in the Deusey.

SkyLion Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 but other, through luck or skill, manages to shoot both Li and Azura. Fortunately, the silk-steel Li wears protects him from the bullets, but Azura (being unarmored) gets hit twice and stumbles, almost throwing Li from his back as he halts, limping. *Go pick up the bad men and shake them until they talk. I'll just limp there a little slower.* The three men in the crashed car are unmoving, the two in the back actually hurled from the car at the moment of impact to lie some ten meters further down the road. The other two cars are speeding away, with Lupin in hot pursuit!,, couple things...,,,, 1. Li's force field (which I did declare activating) as described is projectable so should have provided some protection to both Li and Asura (wasn't sure if you considered that), and(sub-question, did Asura attempt a dodge?...poor kitty!),, 2. Li did spend a WP to accomplish a leap into Lupin's pursuing Deusey. So he did make it into the car for the continued pursuit, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyLion Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 No offense Zeke, I mean I know you are a lawyer and all but Id like to hear it from the ST. Considering a multiple action, and since Li had the initiative its plausable he would have timed it right....besides I want to stay in the action!!!Also, BN has been known to sometimes miss things or need a friendly reminder so maybe that force field protection would change the situation...

The other two cars are speeding away, with Lupin in hot pursuit!Seems pretty clear to me. Asura told Li to "go pick up the bad men and shake them until they talk" as in, there are men in the crashed car."The other two cars are speeding away, with Lupin in hot pursuit" I just want to get things moving, Blueninja knows what you were trying to accomplish and posted what happened.

BlueNinja Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 1. Li's force field (which I did declare activating) as described is projectable so should have provided some protection to both Li and Asura (wasn't sure if you considered that), and To have the shot at wresting control of the car away means activating the Phantom Hands as part of the Teledigitation (to give it more than Str1), meaning that you can't use it as a force field. You seemed more interested in the car.(sub-question, did Asura attempt a dodge?...poor kitty!) Azura was moving at a full sprint, meaning no dodge.,, 2. Li did spend a WP to accomplish a leap into Lupin's pursuing Deusey. So he did make it into the car for the continued pursuit, yes? Getting shot sort of makes a jump hard.

SkyLion Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 so being shot negates taking the multiple action? ::brick ...when he took no damage???I'll go ahead and just post to keep things moving but Id have rather stayed in the chase...,, Li is mad now... ::angry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 so being shot negates taking the multiple action? ::brick ...when he took no damage???The momemtum from the gun spoiled your jump. If you'd gotten one less success, you'd have botched your Athletics roll (since IIRC Will successes don't count towards not botching) and landed in the street, unharmed but for your pride.

SkyLion Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 So BN, did you ever get around to that stealth roll for Asura to get out of sight? Li (and myself) think it best for the great tiger to keep a fairly low profile if at all possible and the police vehicles weren't very subtle on their approach...,, It safe for me to guess Asura has a pretty good chance of success but I will post for Li in the meantime. ,, For future reference, just asume that Asura has a certain mystique to keep and so tends to be shadowy and rumored (that whole part about Li trucking with supernatural forces...), at least outside of the inspired company of the Aeon Society.

BlueNinja Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 About ten.And sorry, yes Azura got away undetected, but there's still the evidence of a guy with obvious feline toothmarks - assuming the cops have it examined by an expert, of course. ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 I don't think I mentioned it anywhere, however, anyone can try to understand Azura, since he communicates with basically feline sign language. If Sign Language is one of your chosen languages, it just takes a roll on Linguistics at standard difficulty; otherwise it takes a +2 difficulty on either Linguistics or Animal Handling to understand.
