I'll take the damage, I feel like Doze probably has it coming at this point :lol:

I'll also look to activate Boris and get him to take a shot at the next suitable juncture.

As they pass the WC, a woman emerges from the doorway of Punk Music and Gear, grabbing the hapless Volley by the arm.

"Looking for a good time, sweetheart?" she asks, a smile on her face. "Only 250¤!"
"Same price as some discount quality waste, not bad," I note as I continue towards Trusty Joe's.

In which case, roll a d4 and subtract your armour of d4! (d4-d4)

Then, because it's autofire, roll to dodge again! d20.

At this point I think you're best attacking with the sword; the drone is well damaged already, and Boris will need removing manually from the taxi boot, switching on and then you'll have to fire up your RCD control link.

Ok, rolled a 3 first for the damage, then a 2 for the armour, so 1 damage total to put me on 5/6 hp.

11 for the next dodge.

And noted about Boris :)

That's another hit; wanna Glitch it or roll d4-d4 again?

Volley gleefully follows the beautiful Witch of the East into the magical castle. 2 minutes later he gets tossed out by a giant chromed up bouncer. "Get da fuck outta here!. Ye fuck'n weirdo!"

Volley is now wandering outside in the backstreet again, where Doze continues her battle with flyer drone #BHFJ4OT17X.

+ + +

Doze: roll to dodge bullets a third time! (d20)


+ + +

Meanwhile, Sen and Zola enter the Ripper Clinic with the biker's corpse.

There's no sign of anyone about inside the clinic. But, they do see a large machine pushed against one of the walls:

Doze is struck with minor flesh wounds that rip through her heavy jacket, but manages to get out of the way of the spraying SMG, diving for cover behind the dumpster.

"Think you can hide from me?!" screams the hacker through the speakers. "I don't think so!"

The remote pilot moves the drone into a better position lets rip with the SMG again.

+ + +

Doze: Test Agility again to avoid being hit (d20). This time, because of the cover of the dumpster, the target number is lowered.

Yes! Right now!

+ + +

Doze ducks back behind the dumpster as the SMG bullets rattle against its steel exterior. Now is the moment to strike!

I force the biker into the slot, booting limbs in where necessary.
