[20:11] <@BradGM> +++ A quick search revealed a hidden doorway giving into the alley siding the Silver Sail, the darkness no match for Imperial Technology. Payne was seen escaping by the rooftops, sending Mira after him while Grendel and Lazerus tried to find a more normal means of climbing.
[20:11] <@BradGM> . Despite having the chance of inquiring at Payne without additional bloodshed the crime lord proved hard-headed, but ultimately missed a jump and fell onto the ground. Using their medical skills to keep the man alive, Mockingbird managed to obtain information regarding the whereabouts of their would-be assassins,
[20:11] <@BradGM> , requiring Lazerus’ talents to satisfy Payne’s pain and have him reveal the current hideout of the Bryton Brothers; an old butchery in the meat district.+++

[22:48] <@BradGM> Grendel
[22:49] <@Mira[9]> (( nope. though I think I'm supposed to be shooting twice per round, but I don't want to fail even worse twice as many times ;) ))
[22:49] * @Grendel moves back slightly, using his optical mechadendrite to peer around the corner of the house while he keeps an eye on the door, examining the back of the butcher's.
[22:49] <@BradGM> ((no it'sd a single shot rifle))
[22:50] <@Mira[9]> (( k ))
[22:50] <@BradGM> ((ok Grendel))
[22:50] <@BradGM> New round; the man moves toward the door, he should open it next round. You see arrows coming form thwe windows, one toward alzerus, the toher on Mira.

[22:51] <@BradGM> Lazerus
[22:52] * @Lazerus fires another shot under psychic guidance and begins looknig for a way down (Divine Shot, 2 Dice).
[22:52] <@Lazerus> 1d10

[22:52] <@Lazerus> 1d10
[22:52] <Servitor> Lazerus: 4
[22:53] <@Lazerus> ((nope. it's a free action, so can i attempt to shoot normally?))
[22:54] <@BradGM> ((ok, but you can't move ))
[22:54] * @Lazerus takes aim, unable to determine an adequate trajectory (Half Aim, Fire).
[22:55] <@Lazerus> ((Half Aim, Short Range, Accurate = +30. anything i'm missing?))
[22:56] <@BradGM> ((since they are at the window slits, no blind shooting, but if you donT' hit the head, it hits the building))
[22:56] <@Lazerus> !dhroll 36 Called Shot
[22:56] <Servitor> Lazerus: 96 Automatic failure! Any weapon except reliable ones jammed.
[22:56] <@BradGM> ((is it reliable?))
[22:56] <@Lazerus> ((nope))
[22:56] <@BradGM> you rifle jams!
[22:57] <@Mira[9]> (( lol I should have really read more on my rifle, I didn't notice accuracy got a bonus.. or the scope? ))
[22:57] <@Lazerus> ((Accurate gives an extra +10 if you use an Aim action))
[22:58] <@BradGM> ((scope cancels range penalties, which is not the case right now))
[22:59] <@Mira[9]> (( k ))

[23:04] <@BradGM> Grendel!**
[23:04] * @Grendel continues to keep an eye on the stairs and the back of the butchery.
[23:04] <@BradGM> ((and ok if we close it here for tnight guys?))
