Game summary for December 3, 2019, Into The Shadows campaign, Shadowrun 5th Edition, for Phoenix Gaming Club. Session included: Ballyhoo (Human Augmenter played by Andrew Renfrow), Clutch (Human Transport Rigger played by Peyton Harmon), Dell (Human Technomancer played by Shane Bradley), Hollywood (Human Combat Medic played by Chris Harmon), and Octane (Elf Razor played by Casey Scruggs). Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The team piled into the elevator and headed toward floor 10 as Dell tried to hack the elevator and obscure where they were going. In the process he triggered some Marker IC, but it suffered a glitch and crashed. The doors opened, and the team poured out into the hallway looking for the right room. Around a corner were two Stoddard Security guards who quickly drew firearms.
Octane charged around the corner swinging a monofilament chainsaw! The guards opened fire as Ballyhoo rounded the corner and started hurling spells. Dell started trying to hack his way through the server door security while Clutch sent a drone around to engage the guards. Ballyhoo blasted one guard to death with his magic, and Clutch sent another running in a bloody retreat after a full-auto burst from his drone’s assault rifle. Meanwhile, Dell was unable to open the door, but Hollywood was able to by-pass the maglock with a passkey. Inside stood two more guards. Hollywood tried to con his way past them, but the fact he was wearing a mask made him a bit suspect. They tried to taser him. Dell ran into the room and got blasted with tasers! Hollywood fired burst after burst of stick-n-shock rounds as the rest of the team converged, and he rendered one unconscious. Octane moved in and drew his knife. He and the other guard went toe-to-toe, in a quick and epic exchange. The knife flashed once. Twice. Blood flowed. The well-trained guard threw hands, but Octane was far more skillful. He blocked the blows and drove the blade into the man’s temple, ending the fight. Dell moved to the host and got a mark, preparing to try and get the paydata!
