Tamara
Initiative in front of Sonia's: 1d8 3

Trying to club Mike in the back of the head with a blunt (telekinetic) weapon like Elan did for Tamara back in the basement.

Attack Bonus 1 + Dexterity 2 + Skill 0: 1d20+3 10

Probably not going to get the job done.

Looking for some cover, either from Mike or from the guys in the car. Will move there to create some space.

Part of the problem here is that Telekinetic Armory is ambiguous. Per the rules, it can be either a melee weapon or a rifle. On reddit, Kevin Crawford has said that you don't actually create a force-gun or a force-sword, you just create the effect of the impact/cut/bullet, etc.

A lot of this is open to GM interpretation, but I play it that mimicking a rifle (1d10+2) is lethal damage and mimicking a medium melee weapon (1d8+1) can either be lethal or non-lethal. Elan is opting for the non-lethal route.

But if all of these effects are mental - which they are, since you can use Wisdom as your attack modifier - what's to prevent you from using the "melee" weapon at a distance? It does less damage, but can it do shock damage (like a melee weapon) even at range? It's unclear. I suppose we could post on reddit to ask Kevin.

So, back to our situation. Elan basically wants to bonk Diogenes non-lethally on the head. Does he need to rush him to do that? Maybe, maybe not, GM's call.

I was figuring Elan would rush Diogenes anyway, if only to bind up Diogenes' rifle, but upon review it seems that you need the Unarmed Combatant focus to do this (p. 23). So Elan has no reason to rush Diogenes.

If we say that Elan does rush Diogenes (because I IC posted as much), then Mike might get a free attack via the Fighting Withdrawal (p. 48/50). Now Mike rolled a 3 and whiffed so it seems like a moot point.

This is mostly just for our shared understanding should we find ourselves in a similar situation in the future. Thelonius is free to rule on what's reasonable and unreasonable and how he would like to approach things next time, should any of the above be not to his liking.

What??

Turns out that it's hard to discuss a comprehensive list for our expedition in Link. It just gets lost in the conversation.
So, I'll start a list here, so we have a permanent record. This is where we'll mark who has what, and what items are kept on the ship.
Items owned by characters are not included here. Those are listed on their character pages.

Things we want to take into the wastelands (if available):

Laser weapons 2 rifles, 1 pistol
ammo/A cells 3
Nets 2
Cage 1
Manacles 2
Hoods 2
Stun batons 3
Woven body armor
Backpacks 4
Binoculars (2)
Glowbugs 4
Climbing harnesses 2
Tranquilizer guns and tranquilizer rounds 1(5)
Rations (you pick how many)
Zombie bait (whatever that may be -- preferably not crewmembers)?

Lengths of rope 2x20m
Grapnel launcher
Field radios 2
Pressure masks/atmofilters 4
Some means of detecting spores

Graham makes a Notice Roll before getting back on Tsunami
Results 2d6: 5 [2d6=4, 1]

Hey, I'm going to be jammed up this week. We just got notice that my son's school is closing because a member of the staff came down with COVID. The timing is challenging because I have two deadlines this week that are tighter than usual due to US Thanksgiving later in the month. I'll be able to read posts and hopefully contribute in the evening but I might not be active on LINE during the day. Things should be back to normal by the weekend.

Statton thinks back to what he has learned about the history of Astyoc, did they really appoint an AI as their leader?: 3d6k2+2 14

Attack the drone with my laser pistol: 1d20+5 22 1d6+3 8

Taelor draws her laser pistol, lightning quick. The drone recoils as it's struck by Graham's shot and Taelor uses that split-second to weave in close, pulling her knife out of its sheath as she moves. In close fights, charge an opponent with a gun, flee from one with a knife, her instructor used to say.

She gets in close, close enough to touch the drone. Her knife held in front of her in a reverse grip, she fires her pistol from the hip. The beam punches through the robot, filling the air with the acrid stench of burning plastic.

Here's Elan's shot:

Dexterity 2 + Shoot 0: 2d6+2 12

Per Telekinetic Armory, it acts as a TL4 rifle. The base damage for rifles is 1d10+2 with Dexterity added. With Elan's +2 Dexterity, that would max out at 14 damage.

Dex/Shoot + laser weapon for execution attack against Cerebrus' UPS: 2d6+1+2+1 6

If the bonus for burst fire applies, then it's an 8, so it would hit unless snake eyes is an auto-fail. Damage would be 15.
If it doesn't apply... *chuckles* I'm in danger.

Execution attack on the security drone in the server room (+1 dex, - 2 Shoot): 2d6+1-2 7
[edit: forgot +1 Laser, so it is an 8]
