Let's target Nagisa. She has to make a TN15 Willpower roll. If she fails, she receives a -2k0 on every roll for the duration of the skirmish

Oh hmm. I’ve just realized I could use Hands of Clay to scoot up the side of the building (maybe around the corner from the snipers?). Not sure that makes more sense in the tight action economy of a fight than just attacking and healing, but I guess I’ve got until some time tomorrow to think about it.

The side door is open-able by the way. I meant it was one of those big metal doors that you can't bust open by merely driving through with a bike. I don't know if this changes anything.

If shiwahime can get in the door on her bike in this round, maybe?

She would have to take a simple action to pull the door open, and then she could drive in, yes.Moto Shiwahime wrote: Thu Dec 04, 2025 8:05 am If shiwahime can get in the door on her bike in this round, maybe?
I will allow you to change your post until Nagisa's action, which I will post soon-ish...

Might resort to ghosting people soon. I have really ambitious plans to get to at least...Round 4 when I get home tonight. Round 7 (or end) by tonight!

How would you like to handle Hiroto going forward, as action time is upon us!
Shall I ask for a base list of stats, so I can roll for him? Or, would you like if I just tell you what I'd like him to do and then you can make the rolls? If the Kuni truly dropped his sidearm I imagine he'll rush for that first, then take cover, and if he can get back to his own gear great but otherwise!

For the sake of the workload in this situation, I will have you roll for him. Let me get you some stats...Yasuki Honoka wrote: Thu Dec 04, 2025 3:00 pm How would you like to handle Hiroto going forward, as action time is upon us!

I should really get an idea of how fast my bike can go! 
I did not attack yet because I didn't want to assume

Why not treat it like a Horse in that regard? Like just use the move and Wounds stat for a Unicorn War Horse without the ability to attack and get scared?

Possible, still au water 3 and Swift 3 dont think that's enough movement on a Free action (30)

I'm hand-waving it at the same equivalent as 5 Water-ish, since you're going in short bursts rather than properly accelerating it? You can basically go anywhere on the map if you spend your full move.Moto Shiwahime wrote: Thu Dec 04, 2025 4:35 pm I should really get an idea of how fast my bike can go!

25' as a Free action not enough to get to the shugenja i présume?
If not I think my two simple actions and free actions are not bad moves

Also: does having my high beams on affect the shooters or is it just fluff annoyance?

It is not, you'll have to use your full action for that.Moto Shiwahime wrote: Thu Dec 04, 2025 5:06 pm

So as my turn rolls around, are there any stairs or ladders we can take to reach the Marine and Nagisa?

There are, yes. it would take you approximately 50' to get to either of them.Bayushi Hinata wrote: Thu Dec 04, 2025 7:32 pm So as my turn rolls around, are there any stairs or ladders we can take to reach the Marine and Nagisa?

Anything I should do special for looking for how to get the nearby doors open, or would a investigation check looking for that specifically suffice?
