<<Ultra Red>> OOC

Jimbo, I sent you a pm a while ago, have you gotten it yet? If not, pm me and I'll resend it.

As of about an hour before she got to the plane, Motoko does. Linguasofts are fun, aren't they? She also has a rating 6 mapsoft of the area, so they should be good to go on getting around combining that with her GPS.

Having money to start off is always good.

Okay guys. After today I'm not going to be logging on until April, and from then to May I'll be pretty lax on the posting , because I'll be running around a lot.

Phantom is going to run Jötunn until I get back. Have fun and don't get fragged.

i'll try not to get us both killed, good luck wreck.

alright so is everybody still discussing stuff on the glider trip?

i think we are just doing small talk until we arrive, which could be anytime.

I'll use yellow for Spanish.

hey guys, theres a problem, a virus has infected my computer and I am defensless right now i'm using my brothers laptop but all my 4th edition stuff is on my computer: CURSE U GANTZ ANIME MANGA WEBSITE TURNED VIRAL! anyways until my computer is fixed, which may be a while, I have to stop this game. So Bear with me. I'll let you know when it starts up again.

blast, I was having fun to.

And we are back! Thanks to Malwarebytes!

woo hoo!

coolness, i'll be sure to thank the digital gods on this one.

How many choppers are there?

Oh, I apologize in advance if I screw anything up with the matrix stuff. First time playing a hacker where the game actually got into the first real matrix combat.

haha whoops, I forgot to roll initiative

I'll get right on that.

the book is fairly clear on a few things about levitation, i can really only levitate one thing at a time under one spell, i could multi spell but i really don't have enough dice to carry all of us, unless of course by some grace of the digital gods the van weighs less than say 1500 KG's, than in theory i could levitate that, but not with everyone in it as well, it's just too much.

So i can do one of two things, levitate myself and carry us all to the ground, or levitate someone strong enough to at least bear all that weight till we get to land. Sustaining length as it says in the book is up to you, you can at random have me re-roll my spell and pray that works and continue to sustain it, true we will for all intents and purposes be sitting ducks till we get to the ground. Our general flight speed would be Force (minimum 6, so yes overcasting) x net spellcasting hits (minimum 6) = min. 36 meters per combat turn, so since each combat turn is roughly 3 seconds in length thats 12 meters per second ish.

let's work some quick math, figure everyone weighs 200 KG each (although translated to english that's 440+ lbs), i would have to get at least 1 hit per person, and that is only 6 hits to cancel out their weight. That's why i want them to be handcuffed to me, either i'm hanging and they support me, or i'm supporting them via the chain, cancelling their weight, depends on how you want to visualize it, but the principle is the same.

And considering i'm touching at the moment either Shadow or the glider, i could in theory just reroll the spell and switch whichever i need to be invisible, but not both, and since Shadow at thte moment is invisible, he will be the initial target, so the plane is glider is not invisible.

In conclusion:

• actual sustaining length is up to you ,i would just have to reroll it every time you told me to, i just take a -2 penalty to all tests in the mean time while i'm keeping the spell constant.
  
• i can in theory support everyone, just probably not the van as well. Although depending on how much it weighs; the image of me handcuffed and dangling from a side view mirror of a flying van is pretty funny.
  
• i can switch who i want to be invisible, it just depends on how many times i want to cast the spell and chance getting nailed by drain
  

So, what you're saying is... I am going to take the glider and not rely on numbers since the drones control them, lol

Are we still on guys? I've been waiting on a cue to continue...

me too. Need to decide if the magic will hold. If not I'm gliding lol

lol, no worries man

They are going to take time to set-up, and we are slightly running short of that, notice the 2 attack choppers.

with my last idea, did anyone have a thought to Taviro hanging handcuffed from the sideview mirror of the van as it flew through the air?

Mathematicall speaking if the van weighs about 2000lbs, and everyone on average weighs 200 lbs, than technically, converted to metric, that is only 1,543Kg, that is only 8 hits worth of levitation to fly us in the van, which is within the realm of possibility for taviro.

What's wrong with using the gliders like we planned to?
