Summary

A team of runners sign up to kill an Ares corpo and his companions. When they find out the Corpo is a drake, hell breaks loose in Redmond.

Background

Arvin Naerain and his goons who work for Ares Macrotechnology seemingly have a penchant for hiring and being particularly mean to Elves. See the contents of My World Down for info on why the runners were particularly incensed on killing these corpos.

The Meet

Johan, upon hearing the runners were planning to kill the Ares corpos, invited the runners over for an arrangement: Kill the corpos, bring him the corpses and be paid in Nuyen. Or, fight for the balance that necromancy brings and be rewarded by the valiant deeds of their karmic justice. Wanting more... real word rewards for their potentially deadly encounter, the team opted for money, disappointing Johan. That being said, Johan offered his services to help out, as well as letting them use their base as a method of attack moving forward.

The Plan

The team performed leg work to determine who they were dealing with, all the while trying to nail down exactly how to deal with the targets...

  • Kadō supported the team with the her ability to help negotiate with Brick, allowing the team to gather information on ways to potentially ambush the Corpos, as well as summoning and searching
  • Trauma Reached out to her contacts to let the Finnigans know she would be around Redmond to get a Finnigan Hit squad in the picture, drawing Ares / Knight errant from the team onto the Finnigans
  • Red Ribbon called in Hanako Shinoda for information and helped out with Matrix Searches, and to help with
  • Insonia helped with decking combat and matrix searching, as well as buffing the team through matrix firewall actions, Their knowledge of magical threats nailing Arvin down as a Drake
  • Neznayka hunted the Drake with crossbow and tracking skills, as well as intimidated checks on the run

And so the team realized just what they were dealing with, and decided a sneak attack ambush would be the best option. Planning to cut Arvin and his team halfway on their route, they'd initiate combat with a fast-and-hard first attack.
