Hunter E. (GM): Hello
Tracy G.: There we go
Hunter E. (GM): I see Tracy now
:)
Tracy G.: I'm still working on the character thingie
I'm now on equipment?
Hunter E. (GM): Do you still plan on using Pash's character sheet for Fable Creel?
Tracy G.: I did skip a couple, like motivations and obiligation/duty and stuff
I kinda want to try a different build, if possible.
Hunter E. (GM): Tracy try moving the character around
Okay, that works
also if you're going to do a different build, try and give it to me soon
Tracy G.: Sure thing. How do I give you the build? Just tell you the stats and stuff?
Hunter E. (GM): let me check rq
Tracy G.: Yay, George!
George B.: can you see me?
Tracy G.: Let me see if I can hook my cam up, give me a few. It's been unhooked for a while
Yup
George B.: I mean, on my camera?
Tracy G.: Blue shirt with red stripes on the shoulder.
Proof I can see you!
Michael D.: I can type here
Hunter E. (GM): For your character
in Oggdude
hit Print
and Print Standard
Tracy G.: OK
I'm looking at clothes. @_@
DO I even have money to buy clothes and vehicles?
Hunter E. (GM): then print to PDF
Everyone starts with 400 credits in their inventory
And for clothes, you get...
George B.: oops, I disappeared
Hunter E. (GM): (same as everyone else here)
Tracy G.: ah, so don't worry about that then
Hunter E. (GM): Heavy Clothes
Tracy G.: Are motivations necessary before I send the sheets?
Hunter E. (GM): Right now, no
if you continue, then yes :)
but for now, I think we're mostly ready to start
Tracy G.: OK. I'll send you what I have and you can tell me what I need to start
Hunter E. (GM): ok!
let me finish assigning players to characters
Tracy G.: OK.
Hunter E. (GM): george, try moving VEX
Michael, for some reason, Oskara is being weird
can you move her?
Ah, excellent
Tracy G.: I'm trying to remember if I have a USB somewhere on the monitor to hook the cam in. I remember I had something, but I can't recall what it is.
Hunter E. (GM): Just waiting on Tracy to send her character sheet
In the meantime

Tracy G.: Yikes
CLosed by accident.
And my computer's programs froze. -_-
Give me a few minutes to force close a program
Hunter E. (GM): ok

Hunter E. (GM): Up to you how you want to switch back and forth
The Skyjedi is what we will use for public rolls
I'll use a separate window for GM rolls
George B.: ok. I will try to open in chrome
Hunter E. (GM): When we are all ready, I'll explain the dice over there, but most of the chat will be here
I use tabs :)
Tracy G.: Figured out the problem. AVG antivirus called the pritning the charc sheet a threat so I'm trying to get them to stfu
Hunter E. (GM): :)
Tracy G.: Got the sheet on Drive! Sent you link on messanger
Now, trying tor emember where the plug in for the camera is
Hunter E. (GM): Tracy - since you have no weapons, I'll give you a blaster pistol
which follows your Ranged (Light) skill
moved vex because the ocd was bugging me a bit :)
Tracy G.: Sounds good
Hunter E. (GM): ?
oh
the weapon
Tracy G.: yeah, sorry, got distracted, but finally remembered where I plugged my camera in
Hunter E. (GM): Am i the only one without a camera here?
Tracy G.: Possibly?
I'm trying to get the camera working but yeah
Hunter E. (GM): lol looks like i'm putting clothes on then
Tracy G.: lolol
Michael D.: any luck?
Hunter E. (GM): One leg at a time with my pants
But I think I got them
;)
Michael D.: i was refering to tracy buggy camera
lol
Hunter E. (GM): lol I know
George B.: but good to know you are having luck with the pants
Michael D.: haha
Tracy G.: Can y'all see me?
Hunter E. (GM): How do I connect the camera?
George B.: mine asked me automatically when I opened the thing
Michael D.: do you use external camera?
George B.: I had to say "allow" to it
Hunter E. (GM): Laptop
I'm a NSA paranoid person
so I always disable cameras whenever I can
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): so I probably need to re-enable them
got the sticky note in front and everything too lol
Tracy G.: I just unplug them. lol
George, I"m not seeing you?
George B.: I can't see you either ..?
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
I can see my camera light is on
Michael D.: i see everyone
Hunter E. (GM): but I don't see anyone else
Michael D.: i see hunter looking serious
Tracy G.: I may need to fiddle
Hunter E. (GM): lol because I am trying to figure out how to see you all
Michael D.: did you go to privacy setting?
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
I had to resize the avatars
Now, I only see Michael
Tracy G.: Michael is up again, but I don't see Geroge or Hunter.
Hunter E. (GM): yes try the Reconnect
Oh boy
I tried reconnecting now I can't see anyone else
lol
only myself
Now I see Michael
Tracy G.: I guess it takes time for the videos to reconnect. I'll BRB while I wait for everyone to show up
I need to elt the BF know that I'm on camera
Michael D.: maybe we all sign out, reboot and go back
Tracy G.: Ok, I'm back in
I don't see anyone though
George B.: tracy you don't see anyone? hmm.. i still see you. but it seems michael and hunter do not. maybe if they both reconnect now? (after backing out of the game and coming back in)
Hunter E. (GM): Let me try that
Tracy G.: I'm going to completely close everythign and come back in.
Hunter E. (GM): Waiting now
George B.: we can all see each other except for Tracy ... she and Hunter are not seeing each other
Tracy G.: I see everyone except Hunter, ARGGH
Hunter E. (GM): Our computers don't like each other
lol
George B.: click on the camera icon
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
All cameras disabled?
Tracy G.: My camera is off, yes
George B.: yes I think so
Hunter E. (GM): Alright, we will figure out the cameras next time!
OKAY
So first
George B.: sounds like a plan :)
Hunter E. (GM): I need for Tracy to go ahead and log in here
https://dice.skyjedi.com/
Channel Name: DeafBoardGameGeeksEOTE
Name: Your character's name
Tracy G.: Thanks! I was looking for that
George B.: I opened mine in a separate browser, and then did split screen
Hunter E. (GM): Excellent
Tracy G.: Gah
Hunter E. (GM): Whatever works for you!
Tracy G.: I think the link hates firefox
Hunter E. (GM): lol
I'm using firefox
George B.: ooh, maybe your cameras need to be using the same browser too:?
Hunter E. (GM): Works fine for me
Tracy G.: Opening up chrome now
Hunter E. (GM): When you're in, say Hello!
Tracy G.: Firefox is fincky as is on my computer.
Hunter E. (GM): Excellent
Okay, a quick rundown of the dice will be explained in the Skyjedi
Okay
I've already given you all permission to move your characters
Tracy G.: Yeppers
Hunter E. (GM): I've also given you all permission to change your Wounds and Strain as needed
The red circle/red bar above your token is your Wound count
Tracy G.: Thanks, I was wondering about the stats not matching up on the sheet.
Hunter E. (GM): Yeah, I just fixed yours :)
Tracy G.: Ok. What's soak?
Hunter E. (GM): If wounds go down to zero, you are dead.
If your strain goes down to zero, you are passed out.
Tracy asked about soak
Soak is similar to AC in DnD
Soak is how much damage your clothes take
before it impacts you
Tracy G.: aaah ok
Hunter E. (GM): So if your soak is 3
and someone does 5 damage
you actually take 2
Tracy G.: that makes sense
Hunter E. (GM): Let me double check your soak
George B.: mine is 3
Tracy G.: 2 here
Hunter E. (GM): Tracy's should be 3
because I gave her some clothes
Tracy G.: aaah
Hunter E. (GM): that increased her soak by 1
Tracy G.: Need to fix the character sheet then
Heavy clothes?
Hunter E. (GM): Can do that later
:)
Everyone's is three, I think
George B.: kevlar
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): except oskara
who has 4
George B.: she feels no pain
Michael D.: (banging on chest)
Hunter E. (GM): Tough Twi'Lek
lol
Okay, we'll jump right in.
:)
Tracy G.: xD
George B.: technically, i also feel no pain.
Tracy G.: xD
Hunter E. (GM): bringing up my copy/paste text prompts now
It is a period of unrest and opportunity in the galaxy. The Galactic Empire struggles to maintain control in the midst of civil war. Meanwhile, scoundrels and smugglers, explorers and expatriates, and fringers of all types scramble for a living on the edges of galactic civilization. It is a hard life, but these renegades have more freedom and opportunity than any citizen of the Core Worlds.
On the edge of the desert world of TATOOINE, a few such renegades have run afoul of a local crime boss, TEEMO THE HUTT. Trapped in the tiny spaceport of MOS SHUUTA, the renegades have no choice but to steal a starship and flee Teemo's forces. Fortunately, a suitable starship has recently docked at the landing bay: a freighter called the KRAYT FANG, captained by a Trandoshan slaver named TREX. As they flee through the suns-baked street, the renegades duck into the local cantina to hide from their pursuers...
(if you see anything in caps, it's prooooobably important ;) )
You step down a short flight of stairs into the cantina's shadowy common room, the cool air a blessed relief from the scorching heat of Tatooine. The Devaronian bartenderpauses in his chores to stare at you, his devlish features intimidaating. On a stage against the far wall, a Twi'lek women dances to recorded music. Private booths line the walls, and the cantina floor is scattered with tables and chairs. A few patrons turn in their seats to stare at you. The only other exits you see from the room are what looks to be a storage closet in one corner and a doorway behind the Twi'lek dancer. The arched roof above you is supported by thick, heavy struts. You only have a few moments to find a hiding place before Teemo's thugs arrive.
Hunter E. (GM):
What do you do?
FIRSTLY
Everyone needs to change their chat name
lol
You'll see a dropdown list below the chat box
Hunter E. (GM): find your character's name
Fable Creel: wave
Hunter E. (GM): excellent
Fable Creel: (That was an OOC wave btw)
Oksara: (pounding on chest)
Hunter E. (GM): if you want to say something as yourself, type /ooc
first /ooc then your message
Tracy G.: ok
Hunter E. (GM): if you want to emote, use /me
Michael D.: cool!
Hunter E. (GM) emotes at everyone
Oksara: use /me
41-VEX use me
41-VEX: lol
Tracy G.: Do we take turns or just chatter away?
Hunter E. (GM) tells people to type /me first then type out an action
41-VEX laugh
Hunter E. (GM): you're getting the hang of it
:)
Oksara fart
Hunter E. (GM): hahaha
Fable Creel chuckles and rolls her eyes.
41-VEX amused
Oksara: Oksara disgards
Hunter E. (GM): we'll say this isn't canon yet
:)
George B.: okay, I am going back up to finish reading
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Summary so far: You are being pursued by Teemo's guards. You are in a cantina now. How do you hide?
POSSIBLE HIDING OPTIONS:
Tracy G.: Also, do we all know each other already?
Hunter E. (GM): Yes - you all escaped from Teemo's prison, of which you were imprisoned for one reason or another
Tracy G.: OK
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara and VEX have small backstories on the last page of the folio
but this is the tutorial, we're making this up as we go :)
Anyway - possible hiding options:
Convince the dancer to let you in backstage (Charm)
Step into the closet and lock it (Mechanics)
Climb up the struts and hide in the rafters (Athletics)
41-VEX: Oksara, you are a Twi'lek -- maybe she will listen to you
Hunter E. (GM): Sit at a table like nothing happened (Cool)
These are all options, you don't have to follow them, you can do your own thing.
Oksara: Convince the dancer to let us in backstage
Hunter E. (GM): That is an easy check (1p)
for Charm
Fable Creel: I think we should just sit at the table like nothing happened. Or hide in the closet.
Hunter E. (GM): You all don't have to do the same thing :) you can do individual things
Oksara: aye, then...
Tracy G.: ah, OK
Oksara charm a dancer to let me in
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 243 has been realized -- "pool opinions before acting". Confirmed. Now initiating protocol unlock, target -- closet door.
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara roll your charm plus two purples
I love that RPing there! :)
Fable Creel glances at 41-VEX, and shrugs, following the droid.
Hunter E. (GM): Mechanics check to open the door, 1p
Oksara: failed!
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara - the Twi'lek Dancer looks down at you and refuses to let you in... she does let you hold her scarf, though.
George B.: 4 successes
Hunter E. (GM): VEX - the door swoops open, you are free to enter if you want!
Oksara: i take the scard and cover my tenacles
Fable Creel: Score. Let's get in here, quickly.
41-VEX: entering closet
Fable Creel enters the closet as well, and closes the door
Hunter E. (GM): Go ahead and move your tokens
Fable Creel: Can you lock it?
Oksara: GM, is there a dark area where I can sneak in and idle watch event unfold?
Hunter E. (GM): you could try and take a table at the booth and hope the pursurers don't see you when they come in
George B.: have I dismantled the lock, or can I re-lock it?
Oksara: I used my scarf to cover my head and pretend to join a drinking group
Hunter E. (GM): You can relock it if you want, but it will also close just fine on its own
Move your tokens :)
George B.: where do we move them to? I don't see anything on the map ..?
Tracy G.: Is there a map-like layout of the tavern, or are we just making up space as we go along?
Hunter E. (GM): ah shit
There you go
lol
Oksara: i see!
41-VEX: cool
Hunter E. (GM): changed the map but forgot to change player placement
Tracy G.: that helps a lot lol
Hunter E. (GM): I'll bet lol
41-VEX: via comlink to Oksara: If you please, ma'am, we have a secure location behind the bar -- you may wish to join us
Fable Creel: Vex....the closet is a bit cramped, can we really fit all of us in here?
Oksara: via comlink to 41-VEX, I need this intel. this is the closest I ever been to him
Hunter E. (GM): Moments after you hide yourself, a small troupe of pig-like Gamorreans carrying heavy, bone-breaking clubs steps through the door - Teemo's enforcers! They blink their beady little eyes in the gloom, peering about. Then, seeing nothing of interest, they grunt and whine in their primitive language and turn to go. You know they'll keep looking for you until you take them out. With their backs turned, this is the perfect moment to strike!
Oksara: Let follow them
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 233: Restrain hostile feelings
Fable Creel: Oksara - I wouldn't follow them. They're looking for us. We need to find a way off this planet.
Oksara: Fable, we could sneak in their stronghold and steal a vechile to get out of here.
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 278 concurs -- "seek non-violent solutions"
Fable Creel: Do you know how to drive a vehicle? The only things I know how to drive are spaceships. We need a spaceship.
Hunter E. (GM): You recall from your time in Teemo's fortress that the halls are riddled with guards and shudder at the thought of going back to where you just escaped from.
Tracy G.: Who was that recall directed at?
Hunter E. (GM): Everyone, really. lol
I'm doing you guys a favor.
41-VEX: :)
Tracy G.: lol
Oksara: lol
Fable Creel: Isn't there another port where we could look for another ship? Perhaps a trading port?
Oksara: alrigght, let shoot them up
Hunter E. (GM): The Gamorreans are leaving. This is your last opportunity to strike while they are unawares.
Oksara: about time this party get started
Hunter E. (GM): Let the story unravel itself first ;)
Oksara: aye
41-VEX: My perfect recall informs that there is a spaceship recently docked, the KRAYT FANG
Fable Creel sneaks out of the closet, and checks to see the Gamorreans leaving, whispers over the comm:
Hunter E. (GM) gives props to George
Fable Creel: Krayt Fang...how far is it?
Oksara: 41-VeX, do you know the locaation of the dock?
41-VEX: perhaps we could make use of it for our purposes
Hunter E. (GM): Should you guys choose to attack, first person would get first hit, and so forth since this would be a surprise attack.
No one knows where it is yet.
Oksara: We can capture the guard and use them for intel
Hunter E. (GM): You'll have to get that information. And the best place for information in any RPG is...?
Oksara: roll dice
Fable Creel: Maybe these thugs know? Let's get them, I'll take down the first one and you get them?
Oksara: I aim my blaster to the first guard
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
41-VEX: a place of business that specializes in alcoholic comestibles
Hunter E. (GM): We are entering combat now
41-VEX is on the right track lol
But first, combat!
normally, there would be an intiative roll but since Oksara shot first, she will go first
41-VEX: my programming suggests that we ask the barkeep -- oh well, too late
Hunter E. (GM): Next, Fable and VEX need to roll their cool
unchallenged (no purple dice)
Tracy G.: OK
to roll, do we put up two green dice if we have two greens?
Oksara: me/ deep breath
Hunter E. (GM): correct
Oksara deep breath
Hunter E. (GM): number of success/advantages determine turn order
Tracy G.: Who goes first?
Hunter E. (GM): still need for Fable to roll
Oksara first so far
then VEX then Fable
Okay
Fable Creel: OK
Hunter E. (GM): on your left side of the screen
41-VEX: it is not part of my programming to be "uncool". Being cool is one of my DIRECTIVES -- number 262, to be exact, which states "Be cool, man."
Fable Creel: (whoops, OOC)
Hunter E. (GM): look for an icon that looks like a clock
that is the turn order
Tracy G.: I see a Turn Order list...
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Oksara: ditto
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara goes first
Now
combat rules
You get one free maneuver
and one free action
if you want a second maneuver, you put some strain on yourself for it
Hunter E. (GM): Examples of Maneuvers include:
* Moving
* Aiming
* Taking Cover
* Readying/Holstering a weapon
* Interacting with your envrionment
Hunter E. (GM): * Engaging or disengaging
* Standing up
Actions include:
- Performing an attack
- Using a skill
basically, maneuvers are things you do to move
Hunter E. (GM): and actions are things you do to attac
k
Tracy G.: OK
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara already had her weapon out
the other two are still in the closet
Oksara doesn't have a line of sight, so she will have to move as a maneuver
then fire
George B.: "still in the closet" ..? Hey now, don't get judgy. Everyone loves in their own way
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): It's 2ABY, my man. You can come out of the closet anytime you want.
:)
Michael D.: lol
George B.: haha
Oksara: I rolled out of the table and take a shot at the first guard
Hunter E. (GM): Go ahead and move
your token
:)
then roll an average check
(2p)
for your blaster carbine
Oksara: is that a heavy or light gun
Hunter E. (GM): Heavy
41-VEX: flesh beings. Always got to be flashy. Would droids roll? No. No, we would not.
Hunter E. (GM): On the next page, it stats out your carbine
haha
Oksara: i see it
score!
Tracy G.: whoa
Hunter E. (GM): that would've been a great roll, but you need two purple dice too
lol
go ahead and roll 2 purples separately and we'll cancel the two rolls out as needed
or just reroll, that works too
:)
Oksara osaka rise
Hunter E. (GM): i'm not choosy
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): The laser lets loose a loud PSHEW. The Two of the Gamorreans turn around in time to see their comrade hit the ground, face first.
Oksara glance over to the closet
Hunter E. (GM): That's one Gamorrean down, two more to go!
The Gamorreans did not see where the gunfire came from!
41-VEX woohoo!
Hunter E. (GM): VEX's turn
41-VEX: can I defer my initiative to Fable, first?
Hunter E. (GM): That's a first
hmm
Sure, I don't see the harm in it. The Gamorreans are still surprised.
41-VEX: ok I will do that
Hunter E. (GM): Okay, Fable's turn
Tracy G.: OK. So, two green and two purple after I do my manuver?
Hunter E. (GM): You are shooting, right?
Fable Creel: Yes
Hunter E. (GM): After you move?
Then yes
(To GM): I would still like to go before the gamorrans though
Hunter E. (GM): :)
Tracy G.: Yes, my bad
ok
Fable Creel sneaks out of the closet as quietly as possible, and aims for the Gamorrean on the right side of the door. She then shoots.
Hunter E. (GM): Can't aim, that's another maneuver
Tracy G.: OK, so I just shoot?
George B.: and would it be her right, or their right?
Hunter E. (GM): Correct
Tracy G.: the right side as we see on the screen
Hunter E. (GM): Roll away :)
Tracy G.: hoos, threats
41-VEX ping!
Hunter E. (GM): Your shot hits the Gamorrean!
The Gamorreans squeal and grunt and point in your general direction.
The Gamorreans are now targeting you!
VEX's turn
41-VEX for a droid, a ping! is the same as a biological being's "gulp!"
Hunter E. (GM): haha
I like it
Michael D.: lol
Fable Creel: Oh, crap.
41-VEX: logic dictates firing from the most defensible position. I close the closet door until only my optic circle and blaster barrel are showing, then fire on the Gamorrans
Hunter E. (GM): Roll away
Wait, which one?
41-VEX: I will increase strain to aim properly at the one that is not yet injured
Hunter E. (GM): Minus two strain
(don't worry, strain can be recovered to an extent after combat)
add one blue dice to your roll
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 262, part B: "don't worry, be happy"
Hunter E. (GM): haha
Tracy G.: LMAO
Michael D.: lol
41-VEX: do I do purple dice?
Hunter E. (GM): yes, always assume combat checks are 2 purple dice
in fact, most checks are 2p
otherwise noted
*unless otherwise noted
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 263: "at other times, worry"
Hunter E. (GM): A miss!
But the Gamorreans are now stunned that there is more than one attacker!
41-VEX double ping!
Tracy G.: DO we shoot again?
Hunter E. (GM): To be fair, they should've expected it, after all they were chasing three escapees, but Gamorreans aren't exactly well-known for their intellect.
George B.: hahhaa
Hunter E. (GM): It is now the Gamorreans' turn
Tracy G.: OK
Oksara sniggering at the gamorreans for their stupidity
Hunter E. (GM): This Gamorrean moves to strike Fable
and let me pull up my own GM dice
Fable Creel: Oh shit!
Hunter E. (GM): The Gamorrean swings his cudgel and misses, tripping himself up in the process!
(one setback dice to his next roll)
The next Gamorrean attempts to follow suit!
Fable Creel raises her eyebrow at the gamorrean for being clumsy as hell, then eeps as the other one comes up to her.
41-VEX: biological excrement!
Hunter E. (GM): And in true Gamorrean fashion, misses as well, although this time he falls on top of Fable, knocking her down!
Fable Creel: Ouch!
Hunter E. (GM): Take two strain damage, Fable
Oksara's turn
Tracy G.: on the circle thing?
Hunter E. (GM): Yes, go from 12 to 10
41-VEX: I wonder who told the Gamorrans to bring cudgels to a blaster fight ..?
Hunter E. (GM): haha
Oksara: i run to Fable and attempt to pull off the Gamorrans off her
Hunter E. (GM): Coordination check
And you can only move one
(it was the topmost one that fell on her)
Michael D.: can I change my story?
Tracy G.: Should yo move the gamorran on top of me then?
Hunter E. (GM): Sure
:)
This is the tutorial, mulligans are allowed here
Oksara: I lined up my blaster to be able to shooth both guard with one shot
Tracy G.: wouldn't that also hit me as well?
Oksara: i strained not to hit Fable and shoot
Hunter E. (GM): you're not quite lined up
You'd have to move
Yes, it'd hit her too lol, you can't say "I don't hit her" as a maneuver, the dice decide whether you hit her or not :)
Oksara: oy vey! i aim for the top one's weakness spot for a killshot
the deag uard will pin the bottom guard down
Hunter E. (GM): roll with one blue dice added :)
they are both on the ground, remember
one is on top of Fable
best you can do is shoot to kill one
Oksara: i choose top
Hunter E. (GM): Which, you do. lol
41-VEX: don't aim for the head -- they can afford to lose that
Hunter E. (GM): Damn lol, the shade of it all.
Oksara laugh
Hunter E. (GM): The Gamorrean dies and the blast of the shot forces it to roll off Fable!
Fable's turn!
Fable Creel: Oof.
Hunter E. (GM): Now, before you shoot
41-VEX: :)
Hunter E. (GM): This is a good time to explain range bands
Your weapons have different ranges
Tracy G.: yeah? Is mine in range?
Hunter E. (GM): Engaged, Close, Medium, Long, Extremely Long
As long as you fire your weapon within your range band, you will shoot with average checks
however, for each band you are outside, either closer or further, you get one more difficulty dice added
Fable, your weapon is a Medium range weapon
The last remaining Gamorrean is too close to you
That's like holding a long gun to something in front of you, you have to adjust yourself to shoot comfortably
Tracy G.: OK
Hunter E. (GM): As a result, if you shoot, it will be a hard check (3p)
41-VEX: comfort is a limitation of meat beings
Hunter E. (GM): Okay there, HK-47
lol
Tracy G.: Hrm. OK. Can I scuttle over to the tables, and shoot from there?
Hunter E. (GM): as long as you stay on the ground, yes
otherwise if you get up, that is another 2 strain
41-VEX: However, I am programmed with DIRECTIVE 258: "Commend sincere efforts." So. You can do this!
Hunter E. (GM): because getting up is another maneuver
Tracy G.: Gotcha
Hunter E. (GM): haha
41-VEX: As a medical bot, I am programmed to extend the limitations, and maximize the comfort, of vulnerable bioligicals
Fable Creel scrambles over to to the tavern's tables making sure to keep her eye on Gamorrean, going under one of the tables, and shoots at the Gamorrean.
Hunter E. (GM): Roll for it :) 2p
41-VEX: Please do not make me work too hard to do so, after this is all over
Fable Creel: Wow, bad rolls. lol
Tracy G.: My bad, that was ooc
Hunter E. (GM): You injure the Gamorrean grievously, but in his death throes, he gives out a war squeal! This slightly injures your ears.
Take 1 strain
He is still alive, though!
And it is VEX's turn
Fable Creel: Man, he's a noisy one
41-VEX: I move to the bar to lean over it and speak to the Gamorran (with perfect squeely accent). "Please observe your soft and wet parts are dissembling. I am a medical protocol droid, and my programmed knowledge may keep your biological functions operating. To do so, I will need you to drop your weapon and give us your complete cooperation. You have 3 seconds to comply."
Hunter E. (GM): lol
this is a coerce check, go for it.
Tracy G.: nice.
Hunter E. (GM): or a Deceit
Either way, not great for VEX lol
Oksara salutes at 41-Vex
George B.: I am just as bad at both of those. I need some upgrades :)
ah...
Hunter E. (GM): You can either go for it or retry that play
George B.: nope, I already went for it. Apparently, I forgot not to use simple words when speaking to a Gamorran. My mistake
Hunter E. (GM): haha
2p then
And that failed
Oksara cringes
Hunter E. (GM): The Gamorrean snorts and grunts, turning around to the source of the voice - the other escapee Teemo told him to find!
41-VEX waves feebly
Hunter E. (GM): The Gamorrean now targets you
He stands up and swings his club at you!
well
what a twist
He successfully hits VEX for a total damage of 2
41-VEX: whoof
Oksara looks worried
Hunter E. (GM): but his follow-through was so hard, it hits the plastisteel bar and bonks right back in his face, killing him instanteously
George B.: hahahaha
Oksara sigh with relief
Hunter E. (GM): yeah, one success and 4 threats lol
minions don't take strain damage - any strain damage goes towards their wounds
Fable Creel frowns at the Gamorrean, heading out from under the table now that the coast's clear.
Hunter E. (GM): Story sequence starting soon
41-VEX: I am struggling with DIRECTIVE 242: "avoid premature value judgements", and DIRECTIVE 273: "avoid stereotyping" ... but ... yeah, typical Gamorran baboon
Hunter E. (GM): hahaha
The Gamorreans are defeated! The silence that follows is broken by slow, unamused applause. The Devaronian bartender approaches and laughs a brittle little laugh. "I guess you're folks who need to get off the planet in a hurry. The good news for you is that I happen to know that there's a freighter in Landing Bay Aurek right now. The bad news is its captain, Trex, is an associate of the Hutts and won't just let you on. The other bad news is that the reason I know it's still in the landing bay is that it has a broken HYPERMATTER REACTOR IGNITER (HMRI) and won't be flying anywhere until it gets a new one installed. I bet VORN over at the junk shop has one." Then he points at the door, "Now get out of my cantina."
Fable Creel glances at Oksara and VEX.
Fable Creel: Well, there's our intel. We should check out the junk shop.
Oksara: Is it safe to go out?
Hunter E. (GM): It is safe to go out.
Oksara: I walk out of the cantiana and head towrd the shop
41-VEX: We offer our sincere appreciation for this intel, barman. In exchange, allow me to share with you DIRECTIVE 246, which may similarly aid you in future: "Don't rush at traffic lights."
Hunter E. (GM): Junk shop is juuust north of you.
Bartender: Thanks... I guess?
Fable Creel smiles at the bartender.
Bartender grunts
41-VEX: Exits
Fable Creel: Thanks again! See ya laters!
Michael D.: lol!
Fable Creel heads out towards the junk shop.
Hunter E. (GM): The junk shop is immediately obvious by the scrapyard adjoining the low pourstone building. As you step inside, you see a hunched old human male lurking behind a low counter covered with disassembled droid and machine parts. The man glances up at you, then turns to a garbage can-shaped R5 droid standing at his side. he kicks the droid and shrieks, "You're supposed to tell me when I have customers, you bucket of bolts! Go outside and finish stripping that speeder bike wreck." The droid trundles off with a surly "bo-ooooop!" and the man turns to you. "Welcome, customers! As you can see," he pointsat the racks and shelves and enormous buckets full of scrap metal and parts. "I have anything you could want... for the right price."
Ah, before we do this.
Restoring Strain
Look at either your values in your Presence characteristic and your ranks in Cool
Whichever is higher, that many points goes back to your strain (still can't exceed maximum strain)
George B.: ok, cool -- but it isn't accessible right now
Hunter E. (GM): Oskara has 3 presence, but 0 ranks in Cool, so Oskara gets 3 points of strain back
?
George B.: oh wait, I got it
Tracy G.: 2 prsence and 1 cool?
Hunter E. (GM): 2 strain back :)
Everyone fix their strains?
George B.: yes
Tracy G.: yup
Hunter E. (GM): And now back to our regularly scheduled adventure!
Oksara: "Words on street said you have a HMRI"
Vorn: Wordonthestreet talks too much, then.
41-VEX: bo-ooooop! bo-oooooop!! And I go out back to talk to the R5
Hunter E. (GM): You go talk to the R5
Vorn: Pay that R5 no mind, he's been dismantled to the point where he's only useful for repairs.
Fable Creel frowns a bit, listening in on the conversation between Oksara and Vorn.
Oksara distract Vorn while Vex communicate with the R5
Hunter E. (GM): How do you distract Vorn?
Oksara: I put my hand upon his crotch
Hunter E. (GM): Well, okay then.
Tracy G.: .....whoa, we're getting in some interesting terrority there.
Hunter E. (GM): Gonna be that kind of game lol
Oksara: I use my charm to sexually arouse him
Vorn: Pah, I don't know what kind of trick you're trying to pull, but at my age, the only thing that excites me these days is credits.
Michael D.: that's as far as I will go
41-VEX: Hey there R5, your master is a nasty meat puppet, isn't he? Care for some assistance with this speeder bike? I have some recent mechanical upgrades that may make short work of it. Us droids got to stick together, am I right?
Hunter E. (GM): That's two reds lol
(to Oksara)
Michael D.: two red?
Tracy G.: roll checks
Hunter E. (GM): Two red dice, yes. With your charm check
Michael D.: plus 2 purple?
aye
Hunter E. (GM): No, reds are worse than purples lol you generally want to stay away from reds
George B.: just 2 reds and whatever you have for charm. work those tentacles, sister!
Hunter E. (GM): (I will get back to the R5 convo in a bit)
Michael D.: ugh, those tantacles are saggy
Tracy G.: lmao!
Hunter E. (GM): (this is why it's a GM's nightmare to split a party lol)
Vorn is not interested in your advances, but he does notice your credit padd.
Vorn: Like I said... only thing that excites me is credits.
George B.: well, you fail to turn him on, but hey -- it has got to be pretty distracting, anyway ...
Michael D.: offer to play a gamble
Tracy G.: I'm just chilling here. lmao
R5 Droid: R5-MUST-REPAIR
R5-MUST-NOT-SPEAK-TO-CUSTOMERS
EVEN-THOUGH-R5-DISLIKES-MASTER
41-VEX: Me? A customer? No chance. I'm a repair droid, just like you!
Michael D.: Can I kill a NPC?
41-VEX: come on, pass me that spanner, let's get this thing going again
Hunter E. (GM): I encourage talk before shoot lol
This is Mos Shuuta, a Huttese owned city
Oksara: I offer to buy the R5
Hunter E. (GM): For all you know, Vorn could be made
41-VEX ping!
R5 Droid ignores VEX and continues repairing bikes
41-VEX: Wow, look at you go! That is some slick programming, it sure is. I bet nothing gets past such a capable R5 like you
Hunter E. (GM): Use your skills to your strengths
There are other things you can try with Vorn
Fable Creel just watches the street, and glances over at Oksara.
R5 Droid: R5-IS-BEST-REPAIRDROID-IN-MOS-SHUUTA
Fable Creel: I don't think Vorn's got anything we're interested in. I mean, we only need one thing, not some broken-ass droid.
41-VEX: I bet the only thing you couldn't repair would be ... now, let me see ... you surely couldn't repair an HMRI
R5 Droid: R5-REPAIRED-AN-HMRI-EARLIER
R5-IS-BEST-REPAIRDROID-IN-MOS-SHUUTA
Oksara is impressed
Vorn yells at the R5 droid
Vorn: Hey! Shut up about that!
R5 Droid gives a beep and a few clicks and goes back to repairing bikes
41-VEX: Whaaat? No? Really?? Boy, I wish I could believe that. I would have to see the repair input code on that one...
Fable Creel glances at Vorn and sighs.
Fable Creel: Vorn. Do you really not have an HMRI? My ship could use a lil' fixing up.
Vorn: Well, uh
Fable Creel smirks.
Vorn: Maybe for the right price, I might have one.
That Wordonthestreet guy might not be a liar after all.
Fable Creel: Oh, really? What are you thinking?
Vorn: I'm thinking I might only have one that is already promised to the captain of the Krayt Fang.
Trex, in case you hadn't heard of him.
He's a pretty nasty Trandoshan.
Fable Creel: Ah, yes, Trex. The slave trader.
Vorn: So if I had one, it'd have to be worth my time to part with it.
Fable Creel: Hrm. I see what you mean.
Fable Creel glances over at Oksara thinking.
Vorn rubs his fingers together and winks
Tracy G.: How many credits do we have again? I'm ignorant on how much is good.
41-VEX: Do you know what would really torque your master off? If he went to go get that HMRI, and it turned up not to be in his inventory ... and, when I travel off-planet, I could certainly show that recent repair code to the mechanic droids guild, and you'd undoubtedly be recognized as the finest repair droid on M.S. ...!
Hunter E. (GM): everyone starts with 400 credits
Oksara: I pitch in my 400
Hunter E. (GM): Do the math here lol
Oh, you haven't heard what he's asking for it.
nvm :)
Tracy G.: yeah lol
R5 Droid: R5'S-MASTER-WOULD-BE-EVISCERATED.
Tracy G.: I was trying to inquire about the pricing.
R5 Droid: R5-WOULD-THEN-HAVE-NOTHING-TO-REPAIR
41-VEX: yes .. that would be ... (droid smile)
Fable Creel: Hrm. How many credits are we talking? We do need to watch our budget, so if we can come to the right price....
Vorn: I'm thinking, hnnnn... 1500 credits should be enough to clear Trex's down payment as well as keep me afloat for losing such a precious piece of equipment.
41-VEX: Ah! But what good would a HMRI be to me, if it were to go out, again? I'd need a VERY skilled R5 unit to come along with me, to repair it .. and SO MANY other interesting things on the ship ... !
Fable Creel frowns a bit.
R5 Droid uses his built in spanner to point to the restraining bolt welded to his headpiece
Tracy G.: does my cunning/streetwise skilsl come in handy with haggling?
Hunter E. (GM): that's what Negotiation is for.
41-VEX: uses mechanics skill to disable the restraining bolt
R5 Droid: 1p1r
Hunter E. (GM): * 1p14
damn
1p1r
Fable Creel: I see. Unfortunatley, 1500 is a bit much. Would you be willing to consider let's say....800?
41-VEX: ba-baaaam! and bo-booooop!!
Hunter E. (GM): well shit, that did not go as expected lol
You removed the restraining bolt.
41-VEX: via comlink: keep him busy!! and be noisy, I'm welding out here
Hunter E. (GM): Roll 1p1r for negotiate
Tracy G.: I have 2 green for negotiate, right?
Hunter E. (GM): Correct
Tracy G.: oohs
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara however has 3g
41-VEX: R5 (I'm going to call you Fiver), let's get that HMRI and get going, pal
Hunter E. (GM): You succeed in bringing the price down to 800, but you will have to give up something else in the trade.
And this whole party needs to communicate with each other because we have two potential solutions to get the HMRI lol
and if they overlap, well
Tracy G.: Yeah. I was just trying to distract him. lol
41-VEX: it's all in the timing
Hunter E. (GM): There is a difference between player knowledge and character knowledge :)
Tracy G.: I can refuse to give up, right? Like eh, drop it?
Oksara: I want to keep on negiotating
George B.: well, so far you know that I've asked you to keep him busy, so I hope you would do that as much as you could
Oksara: use deceit, telling him that the Hutt found a better shop
Hunter E. (GM): What Hutt? lol
Tracy G.: Yeah, I view price haggling as a form of distraction, if that's acceptable
Michael D.: me too
Hunter E. (GM): That's fine :)
Oksara: I meant TREX
George B.: I thought it was great -- you already knew that money was his motivator
Vorn: I guess I could go down to 800, but I'd need some kind of trade off to make it a fair price.
Tracy G.: should I continue with distraction while you try to make off with the HRMI?
George B.: motivator ... lol ... "This droid's got a bad motivator!" ... but, I digress
R5 Droid: R5-IS-FREE-TO-REPAIR-OUTSIDE-OF-MOS-SHUUTA?
George B.: we can't have that conversation, Tracy -- I can talk to you via comlink, because he isn't there to hear me, but you can't talk to me with him right there
41-VEX: Yes Fiver, but you need to come with me and we've got to get out of here on that ship -- let's get the HMRI, and be on our way
R5 Droid opens chest compartment
Fable Creel sighs.
Fable Creel: What kind of trade offw ould you be talking about here?
R5 Droid: R5-HAS-HMRI. R5'S-MASTER-ORDERED-R5-TO-HIDE-HMRI
Vorn: Anything worth credits.
Vorn gives a sly chuckle
George B.: hey cool .. do I have a chest compartment? lol
Vorn: That droid over there looks much like Teemo's missing droid. Might be worth a pretty credit.
Oksara: I think we will decline this deal and leave
Vorn: You know... now that I look at you, you look like that missing Twi'lek too...
...and the escaped Human
Fable Creel: Oh, really? I haven't heard about that.
Vorn: Maybe I should be asking you to pay me to stay quiet.
41-VEX: via comlink: I've secured the HMRI -- we need to go -- but there's a problem. He'll never let us leave with the droid, that's where the HMRI was hidden
Oksara: How about I pay you with letting you live?
Vorn: Otherwise, uh, Teemo's guards might be helping me with the facial recognition here...
Fable Creel shifts a to whsiper in the commlink
41-VEX: via comlink: May I suggest direct opposition to DIRECTIVE: 278 "seek non-violent solutions"? Take him out.
Fable Creel: Hurry. We need to go with the droid then.
Vorn: What droid?
Oksara: I don't know what you're talking about
Fable Creel: Our droid, Vorn. Whose droid did you think I was talking about?
Vorn: R5! Get in here!
Tracy G.: are we close enough to knock him out?
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE: 245 "If you haven't got anything nice to say, do your talking with a blaster"
Hunter E. (GM): Just be careful, Mos Shuuta is a busy place.
Never know who might be listening or nearby.
Michael D.: sorry, thatquote qas quite direct to Vorn
41-VEX: Non-mechanicals are quite easily held by restraints
I suggest we employ them on Vorn, immediately
Oksara nod in argeement
Hunter E. (GM): If you guys mean to restrain Vorn, you'll have to look around for something to restrain him with and use an athletics check to restrain him.
That's one check for Perception to find something
Oksara: I want to do a sleeper hold
Hunter E. (GM): And another athletics check to restrain
Oksara: that's coord check?
41-VEX: Heads back into the shop. Following DIRECTIVE 240: "Participate in group activities". Also throwing myself into the fray
Hunter E. (GM): Grappling rules are as much a nightmare in this game as they are in DnD, let's try and stay away from those lol
George B.: lol
Michael D.: aye sir!
Tracy G.: lol ok
Michael D.: I scan around the room for a long rope
41-VEX: Fiver, you must know where all of the cording and strapping are in this shop? Would you be a dear, and go collect it:?
Hunter E. (GM): Perception check, 2p
R5 is a free droid now, you'll have to charm him into it lol
Fable Creel also glances around for anything she can use to restrain Vorn.
Hunter E. (GM): But you did help him, so your difficulty is reduced by one
so it's a 1p check
41-VEX: R5 can make up his own mind now
George B.: ok
41-VEX: ack
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara sees a rope, but also a Gamorrean walking by.
Michael D.: (sleath) I sneak iout of sight
Hunter E. (GM): R5 does not help, but he also does not wave down the Guard
Michael D.: Stealth
Hunter E. (GM): 2p stealth check
Tracy G.: do I need to roll anything?
Hunter E. (GM): Only if you want to try something :)
Tracy G.: I was looking around. Action
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara already found a rope, is there anything else you were looking for?
Oksara hides successfully from the guard
Tracy G.: SOmething better than a rope?
Michael D.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): You can certainly try a Perception 2p check
:)
41-VEX: R5 -- Fiver -- listen buddy, take it from one free droid to another ... we really need to get off this planet, and to do that we'll have to work together. Are we in agreement on this?
Tracy G.: for my perception, I ahve 2 green and one yellow..set that wth 2p?
R5 Droid: R5-HAS-OPINIONS-NOW?
Hunter E. (GM): correct
You see more rope.
Michael D.: ROLF
Tracy G.: lmao.
41-VEX: Yes! You have a new name, new friends, and new opinions! It's great to have these things! And you can keep them, all of them, if we get off this planet together
R5 Droid: AND-R5-WILL-REPAIR?
Oksara: Fable, let' use ropes to restrain Vorn
Vorn: Hey, what?
Fable Creel nods at Oksara and quickly manuvers behidn Vorn
Hunter E. (GM): First person to attempt to restrain check is who?
41-VEX: Fiver, my friends -- your friends now too -- are the BEST at breaking things. You will repair to your heart's content.
Oksara point at herself
Tracy G.: Me, cover his mouth and grab his hands?
Hunter E. (GM): Athletics check for a restrain
One at a time lol
Michael D.: tracy, we both have rope, better odd to succed
can we combine force?
R5 Droid: R5-IS-AMENABLE-TO-THIS
R5 Droid joins your party
41-VEX: yahoo
Hunter E. (GM): You can do one check after another
if someone fails, but has advantages, it can carry over to the next person's attempt
however, the threats also carry over
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 236 achieved: "promote pro-social values"
Tracy G.: Ok, I can try rolling first then you next, Michael?
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara successfully restrains Vorn, but not before he calls for help
Vorn: Hey! Help!
Tracy G.: purple?
41-VEX: I would high-five R5, but I think he has no arms, so I just clonk him good-naturedly on the top of his carapace
Vorn: 2p
Hunter E. (GM): 2p
41-VEX: carapace? chassis. one of those. lol
Hunter E. (GM): Good call, VEX lol
It's chassis :)
Carapace is for insects
Tracy G.: I think I slap my hands over his mouth quickly and we move him out of sight? Can we do that?
41-VEX: :)
George B.: right
Hunter E. (GM): Survival check
2p
Fable Creel: :D
(oops. Ooc)
Vorn tries to scream, but is muffled
41-VEX: Fiver, we need straps and tape and clamps and other restraints, pronto
Hunter E. (GM): Have you guys not restrained this poor man enough? lol
Tracy G.: not until he turns into a moth-cocoon!
Oksara: Now we got the HMRI, let get out of here
R5 Droid points the party to the adhesives shelf
George B.: haha ... yes, so long as we are certain he won't be found, or get loose, or summon any guards after us, until after we are well off-planet
Oksara: check out the shelf
Hunter E. (GM): You guys play too much Hitman lol
Tracy G.: I've never played that game lol
41-VEX: I'll tape his mouth shut (but not his nose) with the warm feeling that I am following DIRECTIVE 256: "discourage harsh language" in doing so
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): You tape his mouth shut.
Vorn looks at you angrily
Fable Creel continues to tie Vorn up, and ties him to an pole that seems sturdy.
41-VEX: with speeder bike tape. he won't be talking again until after a visit from a medical droid
Tracy G.: can I do that?
Hunter E. (GM): Sure, why not? lol
You tape him to a pole.
Tracy G.: Any roll checks for that?
41-VEX: Perhaps in a closet, somewhere out of sight? Then we can close his shop up and go
Hunter E. (GM): Nah, we'll call that one an incidentical. :)
Tracy G.: sweet
Fable Creel: We got him tied up. Let's close up shop and head over to the bay quickly.
Fable Creel turns and grins at Vorn.
Vorn furrows his eyebrows
Fable Creel: Thanks for all your help! Good luck with the rest of your business.
41-VEX: haha
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Now that you have an HMRI
And thanks to your time spent in Mos Shuuta, you actually have some knowledge of the protocols of a ship leaving and arriving.
You know that before a ship can leave Mos Shuuta, you have to get it cleared to fly AND the docking clamps off
Both of which can only be done at the Spaceport Control
Tracy G.: Oh dear, OK.
Hunter E. (GM): Let me make a token quick for R5
41-VEX: hmm. So we go to Spaceport Control to get those things done, before we go to Landing Bay Aurek/Warehouse Aurek to get to the ship
Oksara: to the group, should we sneak in
41-VEX: It's chancy, but much better than an all out attack. We'd have no chance with that
Fable Creel: Indeed. Is anyone good with sneaking around? Vex, can you do some hacking as well?
Oksara: I can sneak in, not a problem
41-VEX: I make loud clanking sounds when I go anywhere ... I'm pretty bad at sneaking
Hunter E. (GM): ok, back
Fable Creel: All right, Oksara, can you break into their computers and get us cleared and the docking clamps off?
Hunter E. (GM): You'll have to see what's there first before you make a strategy.
41-VEX: Oh, but I must have had some cleverness recently installed ... I have an idea :)
Oksara: I'll see what I can find
Can you guys keep lookout?
41-VEX: Before we leave the Junk Shop, R5, I need you to do something for me
Hunter E. (GM): The spaceport control facility is a low, squat building clinging to the edge of the Mos Shuuta bluff. The front entrance stands open, but a pair of spaceport security droids stand at attention. If you're going to get off Tatooine, you need to disable the docking clamps holding the Krayt Fang in its landing bay, and you can only do that inside spaceport control. You'll have to either get past those droids somehow, or find another way in.
Tracy G.: lol, I think we're still at the junk shop, since Vex wants R5 to do something?
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Hunter E. (GM) plays rewinding sounds
41-VEX: Since he is a repair droid, and it is a bit tougher to do this on myself, I would like him to reconfigure my face and external chassis by welding on some junk metal to change my appearance
Nothing that would interfere with my functions at all, just totally change my look
Hunter E. (GM): Purely cosmetic purposes?
Sure lol
As long as it isn't too much
41-VEX: yes, I don't want to be recognizable as the droid that Hutt lost, anymore
Hunter E. (GM): Ahhh, wise.
Fable Creel: Hrm. I wonder if Oksara and I can find something to disguise ourselves, as well.
Hunter E. (GM): You can do a perception check.
2p
Fable Creel looks around the shop sear4ching for items
Oksara: I stillhave my scarf, I will use that to disgue myself
Tracy G.: That's a fail but I got advanrtages, right?
41-VEX: As a medical droid, I could do plastic surgery, but we don't have that kind of time .. :)
Hunter E. (GM): Fable finds nothing that can help disguise her, but she does find a padd labeled "Trex's Repairs Down Payment"
Fable finds 400 credits
41-VEX: woohoo
Fable Creel: Sweet, credits.
Vorn gives a quiet groan and closes his eyes
Hunter E. (GM): Vorn knows he is in deep bantha poodoo.
41-VEX: hahahaa
Tracy G.: Can I continue searching? Maybe I could go to Vorn's living quarters if I ask R5 where it is?
Hunter E. (GM): You really get one search per area.
Tracy G.: Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.
Hunter E. (GM): I allowed the second search since you were looking for something specific both times.
But it's not really something you usually do often :)
R5 would not know where Vorn lives - R5 has only known the shop.
Fable Creel looks at Vex, waiting for him to finishw hatever he needs to do.
R5 Droid gives VEX a fabulous metallic makeover
41-VEX: Well, that is all about to change, Fiver. There's worlds and worlds out there. Let's go
Oksara waking up
R5 Droid gives an elated bweep!
41-VEX glows
41-VEX is fabulous
Oksara: yes, you do loook great Vexie
Are you guys ready to roll?
41-VEX: Ready for my close-up
Hunter E. (GM): lol
Fable Creel: Yep. Let's go scout out the port control.
Hunter E. (GM) fast forwards. wicky-wicky-wicky
Hunter E. (GM): The spaceport control facility is a low, squat building clinging to the edge of the Mos Shuuta bluff. The front entrance stands open, but a pair of spaceport security droids stand at attention. If you're going to get off Tatooine, you need to disable the docking clamps holding the Krayt Fang in its landing bay, and you can only do that inside spaceport control. You'll have to either get past those droids somehow, or find another way in.
George B.: hahaha nice sound effects
Tracy G.: lol
Oksara: Use Perp to find a opening
Hunter E. (GM): :)
Fable Creel: Should we search around the perimeter?
Hunter E. (GM): If you decide to use perception, move your token to a certain place
and Look in that area
41-VEX: Let's go around, yes. I still like the non-frontal approach
Oksara: i'm at side enterance
Hunter E. (GM): Roll for perception
41-VEX: C'mon Fiver
Oksara glaring hard
George B.: now I know why C3P0 was always saying "C'mon" ...
Hunter E. (GM): Haha
R5 is good at taking direction, but not making his own
:)
Oksara sees a beautiful suns-set
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): But looked too long and the suns got in her eyes.
Take 1 strain of damage.
George B.: well, he needs several decades of freedom to really come into his own
Fable Creel: Let me see. I'll look around and see what I can find.
Hunter E. (GM): brb bio
Tracy G.: ok. Do I need to "discover" the door or is it obvious it's there?
George B.: I think the door must be clearly there, but to notice something particular about it, maybe?
Tracy G.: that's what I was thinking
41-VEX: I'm trying to get an angle on the windows
Michael D.: BRB, bio too
George B.: ok, me too, lol
Hunter E. (GM): back
George B.: back
Tracy G.: WB, I WAS SO BOREEEDDD
lol
Hunter E. (GM): While there may obviously be something on the map, the characters need to see it.
:)
Michael D.: lol sorry
George B.: awwww
Tracy G.: Gotcha. Thanks
Hunter E. (GM): Also, are you suuure you want to see in the windows?
Michael D.: I thought bio was star wars for bathroom break
Hunter E. (GM): If you can see in the windows, then it stands to reason whatever's inside can probably see outside... :)
Tracy G.: and it's one search permap or one search per room?
Hunter E. (GM): Also yes, bio = bathroom break, but it's more of an MMO thing
Fable Creel: MMO, yup
Tracy G.: crap. I forgot to do ooc
George B.: hmm ... if I see in the windows, then they will see me seeing in ... so ... nah
Hunter E. (GM): Each player can take an opportunity to search an area
Tracy G.: OK
Hunter E. (GM): But you're all looking for the same thing
Fable Creel: Ok, let's see if there's any door anywhere we can access.
Hunter E. (GM): So you can take turns looking for it
Oksara already failed a roll
Tracy G.: SUCCESSSSS
Fable Creel: oh wait.
I forgot the purples
George B.: haha
Hunter E. (GM): Fable joins Oksara and enjoys the binary suns-set, but covers her eyes by turning away. As she turns away, she notices a door in the building.
Tracy G.: NM the success. lmao
Hunter E. (GM) rewinds wicky-wicky-wicky
Hunter E. (GM): Fable joins Oksara in enjoying the binary suns-set, but has the sense enough to cover her eyes with her hands.
Tracy G.: well, that's at least something. xD
Hunter E. (GM): Such a pretty sight.
41-VEX: feeble, rods-and-cones dependent beings. Allow me to do an optical scan
Hunter E. (GM): This should be good.
Tracy G.: well, what's the threat? lol
Hunter E. (GM): Vex sees a door, but the glint of the binary suns-set overheats his optics slightly. Take one strain of damage.
Fable Creel: lol
Hunter E. (GM): *the glint on the door
George B.: I suppose I was asking for that
Hunter E. (GM): With only 1g for a perception roll, a tad lol
Tracy G.: Do we regain strain again when we change maps?
or only one time?
Hunter E. (GM): Nope, only after combat.
Tracy G.: Gotcha
41-VEX: There is an aperture. Follow me
Hunter E. (GM): The door is locked.
41-VEX: oof
Oksara followed Vex
Hunter E. (GM): Imperials boosted their security a tad since that unfortunate incident at 0BY
Fable Creel: Aperture, indeed. Got lock-picking abilities?
Hunter E. (GM): You see that the door is locked with a keypad console. Someone might be able to slice into it.
41-VEX: Lock-picking? I am the greatest mechanic (looks at R5) -- second greatest mechanic on this planet. I'll be in in no time
R5 Droid bweeps
Fable Creel chuckles and crosses her arms, waiting.
Hunter E. (GM): Computers check
Oksara awaits with aspirement
Oksara gives a thumb up
Hunter E. (GM): lol
41-VEX: bo boop
Hunter E. (GM): Vex fails to slice the console, but manages to cut off the security wire. Should someone else attempt this, they would have a boost.
Oksara: ok, I'm good with this kind of electricky thicky wires
41-VEX: There. I loosened it for you. (Think like a mayonnaise jar .. )
Hunter E. (GM): Computers check with 1 blue
Oksara taking deep breath and approach to the wires
Michael D.: I have rank 1 in that computer skill
that mean blue?
Hunter E. (GM): No, the blue is a boost
VEX failed, but he helped the next person
You have 1g1y for computers
so you would roll 1g1y1blue2p
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 268: "encourage participation", initiated.
Michael D.: rank doesnt affect the roll?
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
I was going to save this tidbit for after character creation
But if you were wondering how to determine which dice to use
Your skills are all related to a characteristic
For example, Computers is related to Int.
You also have ranks in computers
Tracy G.: yeah
Hunter E. (GM): The higher of the number, Characteristic vs Rank
That's how many green dice you start with
And the lower of the two numbers, Characteristic vs Rank
indicates how many greens you swap out with yellows
41-VEX: my intellect is astronomical. And I say that even under the constraints of my "humility" module
Hunter E. (GM): So, Oskara, you have 2 INT and 1 rank in Computers
Meaning you start with 2 green dice
and swap out one green dice for 1 yellow dice
Michael D.: crystal clear
Hunter E. (GM): the portfolio graphic makes it handier to see which dice you roll so you don't have to calculate it each time :)
Aaaand Oskara failed her roll too
Buuuut
Michael D.: I'm definetly redoing my character creation :)
Hunter E. (GM): She did eliminate one subroutine, making slicing easier. Next person to attempt gets TWO boost dice.
Tracy G.: So that'd be me
Fable Creel sighs
George B.: definitely got that mayo jar loosened for ya
Hunter E. (GM): Yeah, that's why I was thinking putting points in three characteristics might've been a bit much lol
Fable Creel: Guess it's now up to me to try this thing, eh?
Hunter E. (GM): computers check with 2 blue dice :)
Tracy G.: 2 blue? so it'd be 2g/2y/2p?
Hunter E. (GM): Your computers is 2g
2g/2blue/2p
Tracy G.: woot
Hunter E. (GM): The door unlocks and silently slides open!
George B.: good thing you got that, R5 was feeling the pressure
Hunter E. (GM): R5 wouldn't have done squat lol, he's only good for repairs.
Tracy G.: lmao
Oksara: me's shoulder release in ease
George B.: :)
Fable Creel: Phew, here we go. Let's go in. Hopefully there's no one in there.
Fable Creel silently enters the door.
Hunter E. (GM): Entering before looking
I, too, like to live dangerously.
Tracy G.: lol, indeed
41-VEX whistles softly to self
Hunter E. (GM): Fortunately, for you, there is no one in this room.
Oksara: check the next room before entering
41-VEX: C'mon, Fiver. Really now, try to keep up
Hunter E. (GM): You crack the door slightly open so you can hear.
You see a large chamber crowded with computer equipment and centered around a large holo display showing a plot of the local aerospace. Standing in front of the display with her arms folded behind her back is a human woman. She appears to be in charge and, as you watch, she speaks into a headset in a formal commanding tone. "Imperial shuttle Lambda-11238, this is OVERSEER BRYNN with spaceport control. You are cleared for landing. Welcome to Mos Shuuta." A half-dozen technicians of different species work at consoles and two security droids stand near the doorway. Your attention is pulled to the floor-to-ceiling transparisteel windows against the far wall, looking out over the desert of Tatooine, where an imperial shuttle is coming in for a landing.
41-VEX: Oh, bolts!
Hunter E. (GM): lol
Oksara: Madame, we are the escort contractors the empire requested (use deceit). We are here at your service
Hunter E. (GM): You talk to a door.
The door does not respond.
Tracy G.: LMAO
Oksara: me/ facepalm
Oksara facepalm
Fable Creel stares at Oksara trying to talk to the door.
Fable Creel: Er, are you OK?
41-VEX: Good practice. May I suggest more aggression in your tone?
Hunter E. (GM): It was a riveting practice speech.
Also keep in mind, you are not dressed as imperials.
Oksara decide to be silent for the rest of the game
41-VEX lolz
Hunter E. (GM): lol, nooo. This is part of role playing :)
It's very picky and anal
Michael D.: lol, she's a shy character
Tracy G.: xD
Michael D.: give her a chance to break out
George B.: ok, so it was really, really fortunate that you said that to the door, rather than to them, when not in Imperial costume
Hunter E. (GM): It gave the party something to think about.
Oksara: so true
Hunter E. (GM): You do, however, notice the employees are not dressed in regular imperial attire.
They seem to be locally sourced.
Oksara: we can pretend to be contractors
Hunter E. (GM): The unfortunate incident was a pricey setback to the Empire
Oksara: how do we want to do this
Hunter E. (GM): How, indeed? :)
Oksara: blend in with those crowd?
Fable Creel: Hrm. Yeah. You go first,....uhm, let 's see...is there anything in here we could use to pretend we're contractors?
41-VEX: I'm afraid I'm going to need to be involved, if we're to hack into the computers
Hunter E. (GM): You look around the room and see filing cabinets.
Oksara: I can't read, so will either of you check it out?
41-VEX: Hang on ... I'm an unrecognizeable droid. To them I'm just like a fax machine, they won't even notice me.
Hunter E. (GM): That is a good point. The caveat of that is... they also don't know who you are.
Fable Creel: That's very ture, but we might need to have a live body with you to make it look legit, maybe?
41-VEX: I could give it a shot. Just go right out there and do what was needed? I don't know, I'm more worried that you would be recognized than they would question me
Fable Creel: You do have a point. Give it a try. We'll hang back, right, Oksara?
Oksara nod with dignity
41-VEX: Now, just what was it we needed to accomplish, again? Get the clamps off the ship, and ...? Get the launch cleared?
Hunter E. (GM): Correct
Fable Creel: Yes. Clear it for the takeoff, and get the clamps off. DO you remember the name of the ship?
41-VEX: And do we know if those are both the sorts of things that can be programmed in to the system?
Hunter E. (GM): Yes, you could use a console, providing you had permission.
41-VEX: Yes, I do. the KRAYT FANG
Hunter E. (GM): :)
Gold star for attention
Fable Creel: All right. Good luck!
Oksara bows with honor
41-VEX straightens up, then walk through the door with somewhat exaggerated, smooth and slow robot movements
Hunter E. (GM): The technicians glance at you and go back to working at their consoles.
41-VEX: arriving at an unmanned console, I intone in a a buzzing monotone "OPERATOR-5234-REPAIR-DROID, SYSTEMS-CHECK, ROUTINE-MAINTANENCE-SUBROUTINE 243 INITIATED." this is done just loud enough for a few of those near me to overhear, and spoken in as slow and boring a way as possible
Cyborg Male: We had maintenance scheduled for today?
I thought Maintenance checks were for Tuesday mornings?
41-VEX: OPERATOR-5234-REPAIR-DROID, CONFIRMS-NEW-SCHEDULE-MAINTENANCE, SYSTEMS-CHECK, SUBROUTINE 243 INITIATED, PLEASE STAND CLEAR"
Cyborg Male: Uh... wonder if the Overseer knows about this...
George B.: dammit I can't type with caps lock
too slow
Hunter E. (GM): lol
need me to back up a bit?
41-VEX: yes, before he walks off I need to respond to him
Cyborg Male: You got it
George B.: thanks
Hunter E. (GM): Meanwhile, the others in the side room could probably be looking for something to help
41-VEX: OPERATOR-5234-REPAIR-DROID CONFIRMS OVERSEER KNOWLEDGE, SPECIAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE APPROVED BY OVERSEER, SUBROUTINE 243 INITIATED, PLEASE STAND CLEAR"
Fable Creel glances around, wondering what she could use to help with whatever is going on in the other room.
Cyborg Male: Well... alright, I guess. I'm not one to question authority, especially Imperial authority.
Hunter E. (GM): Perception check
George B.: me perception or other room people?
Cyborg Male: Other room people
Hunter E. (GM): *other room people
Michael D.: lol!
Tracy G.: boom
Hunter E. (GM): Fable finds a padd with a login password.
Even in a galaxy far far away, people are still leaving their passwords lying around.
George B.: hahahaa! Is it "welcome1234"?
Michael D.: lol @hunter
Fable Creel: Score. (over commlink) Hey. I found a password for the login. It's....let me look again
Hunter E. (GM): Even better, it's "password"
Fable Creel: password. How stupid are those people?
George B.: lol!
41-VEX: well, it does need to be used by Gamoreans, so ... yeah
Tracy G.: lmao!
41-VEX: password acknowledged. accessing computer system now
Hunter E. (GM): The options that show up are:
1. Docking clamps
2. Clearance for landing
3. Clearance for launches
\\NOTE\\ - DOCKING CLAMPS WILL BE MONITORED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES
Fable Creel sits at a table in the side room waiting
George B.: No "live operator" ?? I press 00 ...
Hunter E. (GM): It is a comfortable chair.
COMMAND UNRECOGNIZED
41-VEX: I press 3
Hunter E. (GM): Options are:
1. Landing bay Aurek
2. Landing bay Besh
Oksara is already in deep mediation
Hunter E. (GM): 3. Landing bay Cresh
41-VEX: I press 1
Hunter E. (GM): Options are:
\\NOTE\\ KRAYT FANG IS DOCKED HERE PRESENTLY
CONFIRM WITH OVERSEER OVERRIDE TO CLEAR FOR LAUNCH
and there is an option for a username/password
41-VEX: via comlink: (I describe everything I've seen so far)
Fable Creel: via commlink: Hrm. So we need to figure out how to override it without the overseer noticing?
41-VEX: via comlink: should I try username : OVERSEER BRYNN and password: PASSWORD ?
Fable Creel: via commlink: Hrm. I don't think that'd work. Let me search around here and see if I can find anything related tot he overseer.
41-VEX: via comlink: ok
Hunter E. (GM): Fable looks around and still sees a filing cabinet.
Fable Creel: I wonder if those are locked....
Hunter E. (GM): They are locked.
But it seems like a simple lock.
Fable Creel: (lockpicking is....which skill?)
Hunter E. (GM): Skulduggery
1p
Tracy G.: three bangs.
Hunter E. (GM): Fable unlocks the filing cabinet
Fable Creel opesn the top drawer and looks through the drawer.
Hunter E. (GM): Fable sees some files labeled Employees and some files labeled Administration
Fable Creel: Hmmm.
Fable Creel opens the files labeled administration
Hunter E. (GM): Fable sees a list of Overseers
Overseer Archan, Overseer Brynn, Overseer Cregg, Overseer Fanton
Fable Creel: via commlink: Hrm. Which overseer is in that room, Vex?
41-VEX: via commlink: BRYNN
Fable Creel: Thanks. Sec.
Fable Creel looks through the files looking for folders related to Brynn.
Cyborg Male: So uh
How's that maintenance going?
Hunter E. (GM): Fable sees a list of personal information about Brynn that was collected from her interview
41-VEX: ROUTINE-MAINTENANCE-IS-PROCEEDING-ACCORDING-TO-ROUTINE NOW-INITIATING-SUBROUTINE-254-OF-385. PLEASE-STAND-CLEAR.
Tracy G.: can I hear the male over the commlink?
Hunter E. (GM): Brynn has no family to speak of, but has a Kowakian monkey-lizard named Izzo
Only if the comlink is active
Cyborg Male: I see, I see, cool.
Hey, working hard or hardly working, right? Ha.
41-VEX: MAINTENANCE-DROID-DIRECTIVE-236:"PROMOTE PRO-SOCIAL VALUES". HARDLY-WORKING. HA. HA.
Michael D.: This is better than watching tv, LOL
Tracy G.: lol! There you are :D
Cyborg Male: Yeah, alright.
Cyborg Male gives VEX the finger blasters
Cyborg Male goes back to work
Tracy G.: LOL
Fable Creel: via commlink: Hey, I think I may have found something.
George B.: hahaha!
41-VEX: via commlink: good, we don't have much time
Fable Creel: via commlink: Brynn has no family but has a pet thing named Izzo. Try that as a password.
41-VEX: enters username: BRYNN password: IZZO
Cyborg Male: CLEARANCE AUTHORIZED
oop
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): The computer says CLEARANCE AUTHORIZED
Not out loud, just in aurebesh text on the screen
41-VEX: ok good. I will authorize the launch of the K.F.
Hunter E. (GM): The Krayt Fang is now authorized to launch.
41-VEX: I quickly go back to the root menu and go to option 1 which was the clamps
Hunter E. (GM): \\NOTE\\ - CLAMPS WILL BE MONITORED FOR DAMAGE CONTROL
41-VEX: via commlink: this is the part with the clamps. they will be monitoring it for security purposes, so ... should I proceed?
Hunter E. (GM): CHOOSE MONITOR TO DISPLAY
Fable Creel: via commlink: Hrm. I wonder if we can create distraction while you unlock 'em.
41-VEX: via commlink: that is a good thought, but risky
Fable Creel: via commlink: Indeed. Let me see what I can do about distraction...oh, maybe R-5 can do something outside with security droids?
R5 Droid re-locks the filing cabinet.
R5 Droid: R5-BEST-REPAIRS-IN-MOS-SHUUTA
Oksara grins at R5
Hunter E. (GM): Don't forget about the other droids inside as well as Brynn
VEX can see that the technicians are unarmed
George B.: when it says "choose monitor", what are my choices?
Hunter E. (GM): LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT
All of which just so happen to be right in front of Overseer Brynn
George B.: ah, crap
Tracy G.: can we use the R5 to distract Brynn and technicans?
George B.: I don't think R5 is all that sophisticated, you know?
Tracy G.: True. I can't do searching again 'cause I did that already right?
Hunter E. (GM): You've seen all you can see, but you could always re-examine what you've seen.
Fable Creel sighs at R5 since he's re-locked the cabinet, and thinks.
Fable Creel: via commlink: Let me see if I can find something outside to distract them with.
41-VEX: via commlink: start a fire in that room?
Oksara: that sound right up to my alley
Fable Creel: via commlink: That could work but R5 relocked the cabinet s I can't get any more papers out.
Hunter E. (GM): You still have the admin files
41-VEX: via commlink: are there any obvious fire extinguishers spigots on the ceiling, etc.?
Hunter E. (GM): With imperial budgets after the incident? No way.
41-VEX: :)
Michael D.: lol
Tracy G.: lol
41-VEX: via commlink: start a fire and get out of there. I'll meet you after, down the street
Fable Creel: Found more paper. Oksara, can you start the fire? I'll get R5 with me and we'll all meet you down the street
Oksara: I realize I dont have anything to burn with
Hunter E. (GM): How do you plan on starting the fire?
lol
Fable Creel: Don't we have blasters?
Hunter E. (GM): Loud blasters, yes.
Oksara: not without making noise
Hunter E. (GM): If only you had something that had welding capabilities
Fable Creel: Hrm. R5!
Oksara: wait, can I dismantle the gun and use the enrgy souce to staart a fire?
Hunter E. (GM): then you would not have a gun anymore lol
Oksara: I still have my two fists
George B.: yeah, I like it that you have a gun
Fable Creel: R5, do you have the capicaity to start a fire with your welding stuff?
Hunter E. (GM): It's a very nice gun, does the most damage out of everyone's here lol
R5 Droid: R5-REPAIR-NOW?
Oksara: R5 can you weld?
Fable Creel: Well, starting a fire would help repair the ship we ned to get off the planet. Would you be able to help?
R5 Droid: ARC-OR-TIG
THE-ANSWER-IS-YES
Oksara: well, flame on, fiver!
R5 Droid: R5-REPAIR-PAPER
Oksara looking at Fable
Fable Creel nods at Oksara
R5 Droid whips out a welding tool and flashes out a flame
Fable Creel: We should get out now. Come on, R5, once the fire's started!
41-VEX I am ready to bring up the left screen as soon as there is a distraction (to the right)
Oksara running after Fable
Hunter E. (GM): The fire has started
41-VEX: via commlink: do not leave R5 alone!
Fable Creel is holding the door open for R5
Hunter E. (GM): Alarms go off in the building.
Fable Creel: via commlink: Not leaving him behind. Come on, R5! we need to go now!
Hunter E. (GM): (If you guys leave, R5 will follow)
41-VEX: I bring up the screen to the left, as soon as attention is diverted to the right
Hunter E. (GM): uh
We'll Bob Ross this and say that was a happy accident
George B.: lol! slip of the mouse
Tracy G.: lmao!
Overseer Brynn: Ugh, great.
Stupid street gangs again.
I swear, I keep telling the local Moff to give us better security.
Alright, everyone, you know the drill. Nice and orderly out the front
41-VEX: as they go, I bring up the screen to the left
Tracy G.: can we go off the map too?
Hunter E. (GM): No, you're still in the area.
The screen is brought up for monitoring purposes
Fable Creel: ok
Hunter E. (GM): The fire grows.
41-VEX: good thing I'm a mechanical. smoke isn't an issue.
I'll deactivate the clamps on the K.F.
Hunter E. (GM): You deactivate the clamps
Oksara jumped with joy
Hunter E. (GM): You don't know he deactivated the clamps yet. ;)
41-VEX: excellent. I log out after deleting my presence there, and leave
Hunter E. (GM): How do you plan to leave?
41-VEX: out the front
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Oksara: let meet up front
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Remember which landing bay you need to go to next?
Fable Creel: Az-soething
Tracy G.: that was meant to be OOC
Oksara: Azul?
41-VEX: Sometimes our brilliance astonishes me
Hunter E. (GM): haha
Hint: It follows the Star Wars alphabetic system
41-VEX: one sec
Oksara is admiring the beautiful fire blazing
41-VEX: landing bay aurek
Hunter E. (GM): ding ding ding
Suddenly, the crowds thronging the streets of the settlement part and you see a chilling sight, three soldiers in the white armor of the empire's elite - Stormtroopers! As you see them, you realize the lead trooper is pointing right at you. You hear his voice break through the crowd, sounding mechanical through his armor's speakers. "There they are," the stormtrooper says, "Get them!" As you turn to escape, you see a second group of three stormtroopers approaching down a side street. This could get tricky.
Fable Creel: Well, damn.
41-VEX: eep
Hunter E. (GM): At this point, I would advise
Oksara: Check for a way up
Hunter E. (GM): RUN
Running is an option
Fable Creel: Run!!!! We need to get our butts to Aurek!
41-VEX: RUN in the general direction of Aurek
Fable Creel begins to run towards the landing bay
Oksara feeled disappointed and join the party running away
Hunter E. (GM): Wise :)
Okay, at this point, everyone gets 15 xp
Tracy G.: yay!
Hunter E. (GM): Adventure isn't over yet, but this is a small interlude
Michael D.: that's cool!
41-VEX: wow, seems good
George B.: wow, seems good
Tracy G.: This was fun!
Hunter E. (GM): Oh, we're not done!
This is just an intermission before the final sequence :)
But if we need to call it a night, we can.
Tracy G.: I may need to call it a night. I gotta drive the BF to work
Michael D.: we should do it agian soon
Hunter E. (GM): There is only one more scenario ahead, but it can wait. :)
Tracy G.: How long would the scenario be?
Michael D.: how long is it?
41-VEX: Like one more encounter? Yes, how long?
Hunter E. (GM): Entirely depends on you
But it would be a boss fight if things go sideways (which they usually do)
Tracy G.: ah, so it might take longer.
Hunter E. (GM): Likely, yes lol
Michael D.: yes, i really get the gist of this game experience
Tracy G.: Yeah. it's quite fun.
Michael D.: I have better insight of what I want to do with my character creatio
George B.: It is really cool! Thanks so much guys
Tracy G.: I might see if the BF would be up for it in the next run.
Hunter E. (GM): I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. :) Please, feel free to share your feedback anytime!
Tracy G.: Same here! :)
Thanks for hosting it!
Hunter E. (GM): Do convince your boyfriend to join, a wookiee might be fun to have on the team ;)
41-VEX: :)
Hunter E. (GM): Should we go ahead and discuss a next time? Or can do that on facebook chat whenever we can?
Tracy G.: FB chat. Next weekend will be bad, sadly.
Graduation weekend!
Hunter E. (GM): We might be able to knock this out on a weeknight if possible.
then again, not sure about the time zone conflicts
Michael D.: I do have feedback, I would encourage players to not split up group on tutorial mission
Hunter E. (GM): ^^^^^^
lol
Michael D.: my bad
Tracy G.: xDDD
George B.: true, one more encounter could be a weeknight sort of thing
Michael D.: i mean having two different scenario running at same time
Hunter E. (GM): No worries! It just makes the GM work overtime, I enjoy the challenge!
I can be available at 7pm EST this week
Michael D.: You did great job, but I get mixed up with the story with two things are happening at same time
George B.: I think you did great job as GM! Very enjoyable
Hunter E. (GM): (6:00 Austin and 4pm CA)
Thank you, I try. :)
In person, I would just have a side conversation to prevent character knowledge from leaking over lol
Michael D.: I love the humor of this group, great dynamic
Tracy G.: I wonder if we could have side conversations as well.
Like need-to-know info.
Hunter E. (GM): I try to encourage characters sharing knowledge, which you guys picked up on real quick at Vorn's shop and especially at the spaceport!
George B.: we can, just type "/w"
Tracy G.: Whispers can be heard, etc.
Hunter E. (GM): I was wondering how you did that lol
George whispered me once during the Gamorrean fight
Michael D.: ahh cool!
Tracy G.: oh, nice.
woot.
41-VEX: to chat with GM only, use "/w gm [message]"
to chat with other person privately, use "/w [name] [message]"
Hunter E. (GM): Lol, it works if I do it to myself
George B.: lol
(To Fable Creel): creel test
Michael D.: thank you so much for your time, Hunter. Maybe we can schedule one in middle of june?
(To Oksara): test
Tracy G.: That could work. :)
Hunter E. (GM): Sure!
I have a few other adventure books here.
Michael D.: I dont mind give other book a shot
Hunter E. (GM): As we get more comfortable with the system, we can probably join up with Christopher and Michael B
What we're doing is Part 1 of a two-part story
The first part is the tutorial and the second part is when it gets longer and more detailed
Tracy G.: Sounds good. It also gives us time to work on our character creation, as well
Hunter E. (GM): That too!
George B.: yes, that's true. I hope we can do before middle of June though!
Tracy G.: Hopefully. I just know next weekend will not be good sicne I'm graduating.
George B.: anyway yes we can set it up on FB through chat this week. I'd say a great success (and maybe a triumph) so far
Tracy G.: but after that I"m free till uhm, first weekend of June. :D
Hunter E. (GM): Like I said, one encounter will not take that long, if you consider we did about three-four encounters tonight
Tracy G.: Nice.
Michael D.: aye, is D&D similar to this protocol?
Hunter E. (GM): Hmmm
With the roleplaying, sure, but the dice are definitely different.
George B.: it will be super interesting to see how our story compares to Christopher and Michael's stories, too, when we are all done
Hunter E. (GM): In fact, roll20 chat has a built in dice roller for DnD
rolling 268
268
= 268
woop
rolling 2d8
(
7
+
1
)
= 8
Tracy G.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): They are completely different, I'll tell you that much now.
Michael D.: wow that cool
Hunter E. (GM): The only thing remotely similar is the gamorrean fight lol
George B.: yeah it will be fun to compare
Michael D.: yes, im also curious about the other rpg books.... one in particular is Tales from the Loops
have you have of this?
Hunter E. (GM): Never heard of it.
But if you want to spearhead it, I'll gladly play :)
Michael D.: Alternative 80's timeline
Hunter E. (GM): The only other RPG i'd like to try is Genesys
which is also another FFG system that uses the exact same dice protocol, but is far more open world
Michael D.: sweet!
Hunter E. (GM): 80's is making a good comeback lately
Tracy G.: I'd actually like to try out VTM, or something from that company.
George B.: yes, stranger things is an example
Hunter E. (GM): My girlfriend is Brazilian and she heard synthpop for the first time thanks to Stranger Things lol
Tracy G.: xD
41-VEX: :)
Michael D.: ahh, interesting
you guys are great, have a sweet starry warry night, y'all
Hunter E. (GM): You as well!
George B.: same to all! Thanks again and GN!
Hunter E. (GM): Watch out for the Revenge of the Sixth tonight
Michael D. give a thumb up
Hunter E. (GM): Nighty!
George B.: hahaha
Tracy G.: Sounds awesome! GN, y'all!
George B.: GN!
Tracy G.: Yo, y'all
looking for my character sheet
Hunter E. (GM): Just you and me for now
:)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12_I4nXKNrhJvajHdPx53UuJ9dFE2fcex
Tracy G.: I found my sheet
George B.: Greetings
Hunter E. (GM): Good Day
Tracy G.: Give me a sec, I probably need to restart for video
back. Are y'all able to see me?
Hunter E. (GM): I'm not even trying that
lol
not for 30 minutes of session time :)
Tracy G.: lol
Michael D.: me either lol
George B.: Negative on visuals. (But, yes -- let's not worry about it this time) :)
Tracy G.: Ok, turned it off
I may need a refresher on what my current stats are, like wounds, strain, etc.
Hunter E. (GM): Double click on your icon
it should tell you
right now your wounds are at full and you are only missing one strain
Michael D.: nice!
Tracy G.: Sweet
Hunter E. (GM): Okay, let me pull out my papers then we'll be good to go
Just to recap
You started off escaping Teemo's palace being chased by guards
You defeated the guards in the cantina
George B.: piggos
Hunter E. (GM): The bartender pointed you in the direction of Vorn, the Junkyard dealer
lol
Where you went and tied up a poor old man and stole his HMRI
George B.: well, when you put it like that ...
Hunter E. (GM): That he was holding for Trex, the Trandoshan Bounty Hunter who needed it to make his freighter ship flyable
Then you went to the spaceport
and started a fire
Michael D.: did anyone bring smore?
George B.: a diversion. we started a diversion
Hunter E. (GM): Just to distract the workers so VEX could unclamp the Krayt Fang and clear it for launch
George B.: lol Michael
Hunter E. (GM): On your way out, you ran into Stormtroopers
and decided to shake their tail
And now you find yourselves in front of Landing Bay Aurek
Did I forget anything?
Oh, wait, right, you guys also convinced an R5 droid to join you
lol
Michael D.: How can Vex unclamp the ship?
yes
George B.: already done! did it at the spaceport
Hunter E. (GM): Unclamping the ship would've created a notification that the Overseer would've seen
hence why a fi- a diversion was needed.
George B.: hahaha
Michael D.: so we need to sneck in the ship?
Hunter E. (GM): That is correct
Sneaking optional
George B.: with Fivers, who has the HRMI
Michael D.: ok, I ask the group if they want to sneak together in group or spread out?
Hunter E. (GM): Don't get ahead of yourselves now
:)
This is only the recap
Michael D.: oh
George B.: Oooh! I know this one. NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY ... lol
Hunter E. (GM): ^^^^^^^^^^^
Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page
Michael D.: aye captain
Hunter E. (GM): Before we proceed, we do need to do one more thing
Let me check my icons first
Okay, nvm, I thought I had some tokens but I don't
not a big deal anyway
Anyway, can we all jump over to SkyJedi for a moment?
Michael D.: is that the dice website?
George B.: kk
Hunter E. (GM): Correct
Yes, I have used destiny points to point the party in the right direction, but for the most part I try to keep them close to the rails
Tracy G.: Gotcha. lol
Hunter E. (GM): OKAY
We all here?
Michael D.: aye!
Tracy G.: yes
Hunter E. (GM): Don't forget to switch your chat box to your characters!
Michael D. farted
Hunter E. (GM) laughs
Tracy G.: Already did. I'm typing in OOC
Fable Creel sighs
41-VEX: sigh
Hunter E. (GM): Excellent remembering your chatbox commands!
Oksara getting ready to kick ass
Tracy G.: bahahaha
41-VEX: (turns oil-colored about the face, the robotic equivalent of blushing)
Hunter E. (GM): A large pourstone hangar looms before you, an enormous letter aurek stenciled onto the building's side. As you approach, you can see through the open hangar doors to the cavernous interior, where a rusty-looking freighter rests with its loading ramp deployed. All you have to do is get to that ship and you can leave Tatooine!
Two equally-rusty security droids stand outside the entrance. If you want that ship, first you'll have to get by them.
Oksara: how dangerous are those droid
Fable Creel: I'm not sure. What do you think, Vex?
Hunter E. (GM): They do have guns and seem to be placed to prevent entry.
41-VEX: The droids themselves are individually dangerous -- yes. But worse is when they shoot and half the city comes along
Fable Creel: Do you think it's possible to distract the droids, or disable them without setting off the guns?
41-VEX: we have many more friends here than enemies
Hunter E. (GM): That you can see.
41-VEX: no, the opposite of that
I think my processors may have some residual fire damage!
Oksara: Can I use stealth to approach the droid and hack in with my computer skill?
Hunter E. (GM): The droids have already seen you and are keeping their optics on your party.
41-VEX: everyone act natural
Fable Creel: Let's pass by them and discuss later
Oksara froze
Fable Creel: Follwo me?
Hunter E. (GM): How do you plan to pass them?
They would see you if you commit to that plan.
Tracy G.: Not going in, pass by the entrance as if we're walking down the street
Oksara: can we search the perimeter for other opening?
Hunter E. (GM): The way token placement works on roll20 is a bit funky, so I can't really get them exactly where I want them to be, but they are literally standing in the doorway.
Oksara: i see those map now
41-VEX: They are in the doorway of the hangar, or of the ship?
Oksara: right in frong of us
41-VEX: oh I see them now too
Hunter E. (GM): You see a solid arch with two droids in it. No getting around them easily.
Oksara: Can we use 5er to hack in the driods?
41-VEX: hey -- Fiver -- that's right!
Fable Creel: Or maybe have R5 distract them if they want to?
R5 Droid approaches a security droid
41-VEX: He has the HRMI. We can say we are making a delivery
Security Droid arms itself and stands in a battle-ready position
Oksara: brilliant! Vex!
Security Droid: What is your purpose.
Oksara at ease
41-VEX: Greetings, fellow droids. We are delivering a much wanted part here, for Trex
Security Droid: What part is it.
Fable Creel raises an eyebrow at the security droids.
41-VEX: contents of parts manifests are need to know basis only
Security Droid: What part is it.
Oksara: it's HRMI, oyu don't want our boss to be waiting for thsi part
Security Droid: You may pass.
Hunter E. (GM): You may move to this point.
Oksara poofed
41-VEX: contents of parts manifest -- er .. oh, okay. Well, thanks very much
Hunter E. (GM): As you move past the security droids, you hear the droids chattering on their comms
(you can't go in the ship. go to where your party is)
You hear the droids telling someone that the HMRI is here to be installed.
Fable Creel whispers to the group.
Hunter E. (GM): As you approach the freighter, which you surmise to be the Krayt Fang, you see two more security droids.
Fable Creel: We need to hurry and install it then get out of here. More's coming.
41-VEX: beep boop (uh oh)
Oksara: got mech skill?
Hunter E. (GM): You see one droid disappear into the Krayt Fang through the boarding ramp
Tracy G.: Merchanics, right?
Hunter E. (GM): (correct)
41-VEX: Do droids reboot in the woods? 'Course Fivers and I have mech skill
Hunter E. (GM): Momentarily, you see the security droid return
But he is not alone
Fable Creel: Ok, how do we get past the two to get on the boarding ramp?
Hunter E. (GM): Behind the droid, you see a Trandoshan.
Oksara: Trex1
41-VEX: just the guy we didn't want to see
Trex walks down the ramp, but stays on the ramp.
Trex: So! You're the slags who are here to fix my ship!
I recognize that pitiful little droid from the junkshop. Guess Vorn sent him over earlier than we agreed.
41-VEX: SLAGS-? NO-WE-ARE-MECHS-HERE-TO-FIX-YOUR-SHIP
Oksara: yes, Vex and Fiver have the equipment, may we come on your ship to insteall the HMRI?
Trex: Ye-yeah, slags, mechs, whatever. Like I care.
Well
I only know the droid, but I don't know the rest of you.
The little droid, I mean.
Oksara: we're it's secruity details. Too many jawa out there robotnapping all those fivers.
where it go, we go
Hunter E. (GM): Be warned:
41-VEX: WE-ARE-A-CREW-HIRED-BY-VORN-TO-EXPEDITE-DELIVERY-AND-INSTALLATION-OF-HMRI
Hunter E. (GM): Whomever decides to make up a story and go along with it will have to roll a deceit check.
Michael D.: this is confusing
how do we determine who turnn to speak?
Hunter E. (GM): No determination, talk whenever you want :)
Tracy G.: Can I make a roll for deceit if someone makes up the story and I add to it?
Hunter E. (GM): but you guys might want to coordinate on a story to use.
You can.
Michael D.: so I can roll for decit
Tracy G.: I'll add to Vex's story and roll, if you're coll with htat, guys. I have 3 for deception, I thinkt hat's the one for decit?
Michael D.: with tracy's help?
George B.: ok so I am terrible at deciet -- my robot voice doesn't handle the subtlety well
Tracy G.: Cool, not coll
Michael D.: i have a yellow and green for decit
Tracy G.: I have three greens
George B.: I have one green
oh yeah, you are the man
Hunter E. (GM): I would recommend the 3 greens.
Tracy G.: :) Ok, here I go
Trex: wait
lol
Hunter E. (GM): wait
Tracy G.: lol ok
Hunter E. (GM): that is 2p1r
41-VEX: lol
Tracy G.: Is that bad against 3 green?
George B.: seems bad
Hunter E. (GM): generally you want to stay away from reds
George B.: 3 dice against 3 dice.
Hunter E. (GM): It's 3 dice against 3 dice and one of them is upgraded
Tracy G.: Hrm, OK. So it's a higher risk to try and lie?
George B.: okay, we need to think of something really good for our story, so we get a bonus
Hunter E. (GM): Everything about this scenario is high risk :) That's why it's at the end lol
Oksara: I say go for it :)
Tracy G.: Ok, so I was going to add to Vex's by sayin that we were the crew that was sent to ensure that the HMRI is installed properly, and to look over the ship to make sure everything is in good working condition?
Is that too much of a stretch?
George B.: tell him not only do we have the part, but we were sent by that gal from the spaceport (which is why he doesn't know us) and describe her to him as well. Or even say that we have the docking clamps off as part of the procedure
41-VEX: BRYNN, wasn't it?
Hunter E. (GM): It was
George B.: but yes I like all the rest, it gets us all on board :)
Tracy G.: So, like we were sent with fiver to make sure the hmri is installed correctly, and we were sent by brynn to make suer everything is right? Redhead lady at the control?
Hunter E. (GM): If you believe he won't have a problem with that story, go for it. :)
Tracy G.: OK, here I go. Wish me luck
Fable Creel grins and nods at Vex's remarks.
George B.: my circuits are crossed
(To GM): i don't remember how to do the emoting (typing in orange)
Hunter E. (GM): with /me
Fable Creel: That's correct, sir. We were sent with Fiver to make sure that the HMRI is installed correctly, and look over the ship to make sure everything looks great and in proper working condition. Brynn asked us to make sure everything was OK ship-wise since she noticed something was weird when the ship came in. Didn't say what exactly, just said to check it all over and make sure everything's OK.
Trex: Fiver? What is that, a cute nickname for the junkbot?
41-VEX: boop
Fable Creel: Yep. You know me, I"m a lady, I like cute nicknames.
Trex: Eh, alright, I can buy that story, but I hadn't heard from Brynn
41-VEX grins disarmingly
Trex: And you know how she is about punctuality...
Flights in, flights out, aint nothing happen without her knowing about it or telling us about it.
Fable Creel nods. "Indeed. She can be odd like that."
41-VEX: INDEED. WE-MUST-INITIATE-REPAIRS-NOW. BRYNN-AWAITS
Trex raises a scaley eyebrow
Hunter E. (GM): (now would be the time to roll)
Tracy G.: 2p 1 r?
Hunter E. (GM): correct.
Tracy G.: against 3 greens, Ok, wish me luck.
George B.: no bonus??
lol
Tracy G.: Guess we didn't try hard enough. lol
George B.: it's the black spots
Hunter E. (GM): Was not entirely convinced lol, Brynn's character is strict and everyone knows it.
Or at least most would know it if there wasn't an evacuation lol
Tracy G.: can I add one more detail?
Hunter E. (GM): You may not lol.
Tracy G.: Darnit lol, ok, here I go
Hunter E. (GM): We stepping outside tutorial territory now.
41-VEX: ouhm ...
Tracy G.: Threat, right?
Hunter E. (GM): That is a failed roll with a threat, correct.
Tracy G.: Darnit.
Trex: Yeah... yeah, I'm not buying it.
Trex slowly pulls out his blaster while nodding at the nearby droids.
Tracy G.: Check but dunno if she'd be able to answer now, there was a fire or something and they had to evaucate?
Fable Creel: Does that sound OK?
Tracy G.: (That was meant to be OOC)
Oksara: How about shooting first and ask question later?
Hunter E. (GM): I know, I'm happy you guys went the dialogue route first, but sometimes this happens lol
41-VEX: come on, Fiver! this way!
Tracy G.: lol yeah
Hunter E. (GM): Trex is a Nemesis type boss, which means it's considerably harder to fool him.
41-VEX running beneath the ramp so that Trex has no angle to shoot
Tracy G.: we have blasters right?
Oksara: can fiver handle the repair on his own?
Hunter E. (GM): before everyone moves
we need to roll for initiative
In this case, roll an unchecked Vigilance
Tracy G.: Vigilance?
That's willpaoer?
Hunter E. (GM): You have 2 vigilance, according to your sheet
Tracy G.: Yeah. So roll 2 green only?
Hunter E. (GM): It uses the characteristic willpower, correct.
Yes, 2 greens.
Okay, rolling for the others
Tracy G.: BRB RQ
George B.: forgot to add R5
Hunter E. (GM): lol and what will R5 do? zap things?
Tracy G.: Back
Hunter E. (GM): I don't really have him statted out, but if you absolutely want to risk using him, we can do that.
George B.: run around and make bleep noises, to amuse the movie viewers
Hunter E. (GM): haha
can do that without risking him in battle ;)
George B.: no no, it's fine. He plays dead
Tracy G.: lmao, distraction is funny
R5 Droid: R5-DIE
Oksara: lol at George
41-VEX hahaha
Tracy G.: lmao
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Trex is first
The threat from the original roll is that he gets to ready his weapon early.
And now he fires
41-VEX robotic scream
Hunter E. (GM): Just for my sake
Can you all tell me your soak values?
And I'll put them above your characters so this can move faster lol
Tracy G.: 2
41-VEX: 3
Oksara: 4
Hunter E. (GM): Okay
Tracy G.: sheesh, I've got the least out of y'all
Hunter E. (GM): Yeah, that'll happen when you roll a human fringer lol
Tracy G.: lol yeah. I need better gear once I can get some stuff out
Hunter E. (GM): okay, 5 damage to Fable
AND a critical injury
that is an entirely separate roll
Tracy G.: Wah!
Hunter E. (GM): pulling up another table
Tracy G.: damage is on wound right?
Hunter E. (GM): In general, it's almost never good when the GM has to pull out another table lol
Correct
Tracy G.: Guess I'm going bye-bye lol
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE #002: "Save the HYUMANZ" initiated
Hunter E. (GM): Okay, Fable lucked out
Tracy G.: Hrm?
Hunter E. (GM): Your critical injury was a Discouraging Wound
Tracy G.: Discouraging wound?
Hunter E. (GM): Which flips one light destiny side to a dark destiny side
But since they're all already dark...
Oksara: wow
Tracy G.: Oh, gotcha
Hunter E. (GM): However, you do still have the one critical injury
Tracy G.: Yeah..what's the injury?
Hunter E. (GM): Discouraging Wound
lol
It just counts as a crit injury until you heal it
The effects are nonexistent to you
This would be a good time to explain crits, I suppose
Tracy G.: Aaah, OK, so just a major owie, gotcha
Hunter E. (GM): lol
Trex hit Fable with a critical hit
You'll notice that beside your weapons, a certain number of advantage points create a critical injury
When a critical injury occurs, the GM rolls for it
There is a table of crits in the core rulebook on the drive, page 217
What I do is I roll a D100
Hunter E. (GM): (100 sided dice)
And whatever number comes up, I correlate it to the crit injury table
In this case, a 30 was rolled for Fable, which aligns with the Discouraging Wound
Now, unless they are healed, Critical Injuries stay
and for each unhealed Crit Injury, you get a +10 to each future Crit Injury roll
so right now, Fable will add 10 to the next crit injury rolled against her
41-VEX: do not worry, fragile flesh being, I shall repair you
Hunter E. (GM): Meaning if she got a 30 again, it would actually be a 40
which upgrades the severity of the results
a second critical injury adds another 10 points to the roll
and so on so on
so heal them whenever you can (usually out of battle or in a bacta tank)
Tracy G.: OK, so it can't be healed in battle
Hunter E. (GM): Let me double check on that.
41-VEX removes scalpel attachment and replaces it again with blaster
Hunter E. (GM): Yes
Yes you can
41-VEX affixes scalpel once again
Hunter E. (GM): that particular injury is an Easy check (1p)
But it would take up a turn
Tracy G.: man I don't want scalpels, I want heals, not more wounds! lol
OK, so is Trex within view?
Hunter E. (GM): He is on the boarding ramp, yes.
Tracy G.: OK
41-VEX maybe the scalpel is for Trex? Anyway, don't question your doctor
Tracy G.: My turn to react and roll?
Hunter E. (GM): Maneuver and action :)
You are using the uh
Tracy G.: OK. And react to the injury as well
Hunter E. (GM): Blaster pistol
which is a medium range weapon that is 1y2g
crit on 3 advantages
Tracy G.: Yep. OK, so it's too far away to shoot at Trex?
Hunter E. (GM): No, actually, you are just in range.
Tracy G.: Oh, nice, OK.
Hunter E. (GM): 2p check
Still need to maneuver to equip your weapon
And of course, say whatever you want :)
Tracy G.: OK
WOuld the droids be easier to take down first, guys?
Michael D.: kill the snake's head
or in this case, a T-Rex
Tracy G.: OK lol
Hunter E. (GM): Always an option, but remember that Trex is harder than most enemies!
Michael D.: aye, mean need to gang up on him?
Tracy G.: Yeah. I was thinking that taking out droids would reduce the crossfire, and we cana ll focus on him once the droids are gone.
George B.: yeah, this is the final boss battle. I agree with Tracy, take out the droids
it's like clearing the level on the way to the final boss
Hunter E. (GM): Keeping in mind the two droids from the entrance have not joined the fray
Michael D.: up to you guys
Tracy G.: The droids from entrance to bay or to ship? Clarifiying
Michael D.: I will use blaster carbine on droid since they are far away
Hunter E. (GM): From the entrance to the bay
Fable Creel winces as she gets shot at. "Uch! Damn!" She glances at her self and notices that her shoulder is bleeding. Fortunately, it's not the shooting shoulder,, so she grabs her pistol out of her holder and shoots at the nearest security droid near Trex without aiming.
Tracy G.: I can decide where the injury is, right?
Hunter E. (GM): We can agree on this :0
* :)
Tracy G.: Rock on! SO, rolls would be...
Hunter E. (GM): I didn't specify, so sure :)
1y2g2p
41-VEX: good
Tracy G.: That's a successful roll, right?
Hunter E. (GM): Correct and you hit him!
The droid is slightly fazed.
Tracy G.: Yay!
Hunter E. (GM): Rolling for Droids now
The droid takes aim at VEX, but misses!
The second droid fires, but misses as well! It was uncertain who he was aiming at!
Oksara!
Oksara: ready my blaster carbine
and fire at the droid
Hunter E. (GM): Which droid?
The same one Fable shot at>
?
Oksara: yes
Hunter E. (GM): Okay :)
Oksara: he's fazed, so i want to take that opportunty
Hunter E. (GM): Oh
That didn't actually mean anything.
That was just me being narrative lol
George B.: lol
Hunter E. (GM): If it actually did anything, I would have said so
Oksara: lol alrighty
Hunter E. (GM): Sorry for confusion!
Still a good decision since he was injured with Fabel's shot
:)
*Fable
Oksara: finish him off!
Hunter E. (GM): 2p
41-VEX: missed me, slagbots! de-fog your optics!
Hunter E. (GM): haha
Good RPing!
Tracy G.: LOL!
Oksara: two tellow and 2 green for the gun plus 2 p
Hunter E. (GM): that is correct
Oksara: wow
George B.: ooh, is that good
Oksara: blast carbine does 9 damanage for each burst
Hunter E. (GM): no no
9 damage for a successful hit
Oksara: drat
Hunter E. (GM): +1 for each additional success
lol
That would be waaay too OP if it did 9 damage for each hit lol
Oksara: Lol yea! Death Star walking
George B.: lol!
okay so that is a threat symbol, but what is the other thing?
Hunter E. (GM): With a triumph, that means something else good happens
usually a crit
So, let me roll for that
You obliterate the droid
Oksara jump with joy
41-VEX: Wooo-hooo!
Oksara: that's one less headace to deal with
Hunter E. (GM): In doing so, the droid's arm pops off itself and hits Trex, making him winded (critical injury)
41-VEX: ah-hahahaha
Oksara: sweet shootin'
Hunter E. (GM): (no extra damage to him, but now he can't do a second maneuver if he chooses to do so)
Vex's turn!
41-VEX picturing a droid fist slamming into Trex's crotch
Tracy G.: lol, sorry, I had to figur eout what my cat was trying to get at. She as trying to get at a plastic straw. That's a no-no for her.
Fable Creel grins. "Nice job, Oks!"
George B.: I can say something, and do an action as well?
Hunter E. (GM): Talking is incidental
Unless you're talking to try and do something like charm/deceit
Taunting is, of course, allowed
41-VEX: Stop shooting!! We're here to deliver the HRMI to Trex. Here it is, catch!!
George B.: then I toss a stun grenade to him :)
Tracy G.: lmao!
Hunter E. (GM): Wonderful lol
Oksara: nice
Hunter E. (GM): 2p
41-VEX: do I roll any good dice?
oh, 2 g
Tracy G.: woot!
George B.: he has good hands. Or ... had.
Oksara: lol
Hunter E. (GM): You hit Trex, it doesn't damage him, but it does make him even more winded! Oof!
Oksara: so Trex lose a turn?
Hunter E. (GM): Nope
Still standing
Tracy G.: just more dizzy?
George B.: man, he is tough
Hunter E. (GM): Not really lol
He just took strain damage
Stun grenades damage strain, not wounds
Oksara: ooh I need to blast his ass off that ship
Hunter E. (GM): Rolling for Trex
Trex: I knew I should've known something was up when I saw that droid away from his shop! Vorn never lets that thing leave the property!
Trex takes aim and fires at Vex
41-VEX: eep
Hunter E. (GM): gat dam
Tracy G.: Bad?
Hunter E. (GM): extremely
41-VEX twists backward all the way like 'bullet time'
Hunter E. (GM): Vex takes nine damage
Oksara: holy shit
Hunter E. (GM): but the blast of the force of the shot combined with Trex's windedness knocks him off his feet
41-VEX okay, that was my back. I think my back hydraulics are out ...
Hunter E. (GM): Trex takes 2 strain damage
Tracy G.: Does that mean he's down atm?
Hunter E. (GM): (he is still conscious and alive)
(just on the ground now)
Oksara glancing at a huge hole in Vex's metallic body
Hunter E. (GM): (he fell off the ramp)
Tracy G.: Damn, so we can't shoot at him now.
Hunter E. (GM): No hole lol
Tracy G.: Right?
Oksara: lol
Hunter E. (GM): If anything, you've got a clearer shot
Tracy G.: Ooh, nice, Ok
Hunter E. (GM): he's on the ground now
George B.: you can shoot him through the hole in my body ... lol
Hunter E. (GM): haha
Oksara: lol
Hunter E. (GM): Fable's turn
Tracy G.: lmao, that might help if you were in front of me. ;)
Fable Creel grits her teeth, and takes aim at Trex's chest if possible, and shoots her blaster.
Hunter E. (GM): add 1 blue for the aim
Tracy G.: 2p2g1b?
Hunter E. (GM): and 1y
Tracy G.: oooooooo, success and bonus.
Hunter E. (GM): You do light damage to trex, but it is enough to make him roll on his side, making him a broader target - the next person who shoots at him will get a blue dice
Oksara: let hope the droid decide to join the winning side
Fable Creel: Oks, you gotta get him! We need to put him down stat!
41-VEX: I seem to be leaking coolant at an alarming rate ...
Hunter E. (GM): The droid fires at Oksara but misses
Instead hitting the hull of the Krayt Fang, making sparks fly
Oksara look at pretty sparks
Hunter E. (GM): R5 becomes concerned and jumps up and rolls into Oksara, tripping her
Oksara takes two strain and is now on the ground
Fable Creel: Dude, Fiver! What'd you go and do that for??!
R5 Droid: R5-SAW-SPARKS.
George B.: I'm gonna guess it was a black spot? lol
R5 Droid: R5-HAD-TO-REPAIR
Oksara: it's ok 5er, i need to get lower for a better shot anyway
R5 Droid: Nope, it was a complete miss but 4 advantages lol
Oksara: lol!!!
Fable Creel: So you want to fix everything, perhaps you could fix thsi situation by getting the security droid to stop firing at us!
41-VEX: Fiver, if you really want to repair something, buddy ... (shows massive hole to Fiver)
R5 Droid: THAT-LOOKS-BAD
Oksara looking at Trex, burining angry inside. take an aim
Fable Creel: No shit, sherlock.
R5 Droid: WHO-IS-SHERLOCK
Oksara squeezed the trigger with fluidity
Hunter E. (GM): (galaxy far far away a long time ago, don't forget! ;) )
2blu2p
41-VEX: SEARCH 405 Complete. Wry comment accepted. Snappy comeback not found.
Tracy G.: I've got lore knowledge though! lol
Hunter E. (GM): lol
Oksara: dang that a good roll!
41-VEX: ba-da-boom
Tracy G.: BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Trex howls in pain
Hunter E. (GM): All of this firing at Trex just makes him angrier and angrier!
Oksara: is he getting stronger too?
Hunter E. (GM): (no added bonuses, just an angry Trandoshan)
Oksara: phew!
Hunter E. (GM): Vex's turn
George B.: lol, oksara! just like a final boss to get stronger when you shoot him enough
Hunter E. (GM): or in this case, pissed off enough to attack whomever is hurting him the most :)
Oksara: The way Hunter desribe Trex angry make me think of Hulk
Tracy G.: HULK SMASH!
Hunter E. (GM): If you had some threats in your roll, maaaaybe lol
Oksara: not asking for it, lol
Hunter E. (GM): haha
George B.: okay, I am going to spin and feign powering down ... to land facing away from the bad guys. I want them to think I am out of commission. But really I am going to lie there and try to repair myself without drawing attention
Hunter E. (GM): That would count as a deception check
and it'd be Trex you'd have to fool since he's the "leader" here
You COULD move to cover
George B.: ok, I start to do that, and say "BOOOP BOOooo ... Agh, I am Powering Down, I am ... " and then "Oh to hell with it, anyway" -- because I know I am a terrible actor. So then I just shoot him
Hunter E. (GM): haha
2p1r
In case anyone had forgotten from the earlier attempt ;)
(since this is still tutorial, we can rewind if needed)
man
lol
Tracy G.: lol
Oksara: no fooling!
Tracy G.: That is bad.
41-VEX hiss of exhaust (like a sigh)
Oksara: ooooh!
Hunter E. (GM): You miss, clearly
oh
wait
shit
I missed that last line
Where you shot him
Hunter E. (GM): that is not a 2p1r roll then
that's just a 2p roll
so we'll cancel out that red dice
which just means nothing happens
lol
41-VEX: :)
Tracy G.: lol good
Hunter E. (GM): You succeed in fooling your comrades into thinking you were going to shoot.
If you die on the battlefield today, they will remember you as Vex the Vexing
41-VEX: hahahaha!
Oksara: I will remember you always, Vexy
Hunter E. (GM): fingers crossed Trex doesn't hurt again
Tracy G.: lmao
41-VEX: Always remember DIRECTIVE 247: "Don't run through puddles and splash organic beings."
Hunter E. (GM): Trex attempts to shoot at Fable while she is distracted by Vex's antics.
And misses
Oksara: lol
Hunter E. (GM): But the blast does put a blur in her eyes, akin to staring at the sun.
Meaning Fable will roll a setback (black) die her next roll.
Fable's turn!
George B.: close your eyes, and use the force ...
Fable Creel: Godammit. My eyes!
Fable Creel squeezes her eyes, trying to clear the blur, and shoots at Trex using her muscle memory of her last shot. "Screw you, dino!"
Oksara: lol @dino
Hunter E. (GM): 2p1blk
Tracy G.: ok
Damn it.
Hunter E. (GM): well then
The blurring was enough to make you miss, but you do end up hitting the security droid instead
rolling for crit
41-VEX: guns don't kill people. optic blurs kill people
and by people, I mean metallic ones
Hunter E. (GM): aaaand you get a free attack against the droid if you so wish.
Tracy G.: Oh, I do?
Hunter E. (GM): Your eyesight has cleared up too, so there wouldn't be a setback die
Yes, because of the advantages/crit
Tracy G.: Nice. So, what would my roll be? 2g 2p?
Hunter E. (GM): 1y2g2p
Tracy G.: OK
Fable Creel then swings her pistol at the droid, shooting at him.
Tracy G.: wtf man, lmao
Hunter E. (GM): And you miss again
lol
Tracy G.: So the two advantages means nothing?
Hunter E. (GM): You snap out of it and recover 2 strain.
(still can't go past max)
Tracy G.: Strain is blue?
Hunter E. (GM): Correct
So you max at 12
not 13
Tracy G.: Yep. I was checking my chart
Hunter E. (GM): Droid's turn
The droid has taken offense to being fired upon
And fires back at Fable for 6 damage!
Ouch!
Fable Creel: Oof~!
Hunter E. (GM): Oksara to the rescue... hopefully!
Oksara felt inspired seeing her teammate taking those fatal wound shots
Hunter E. (GM): not fatal
lol
41-VEX: just about
Hunter E. (GM): nearly
yes
lol
41-VEX notes that Fable is also leaking "coolant" at an alarming rate ...
Oksara aiming for Trex's eye, and release the blast of fiery revenge!
Hunter E. (GM): 2p1blu
Oksara: and''s it a epic hit!!!
41-VEX: vaporized!!
Tracy G.: WOOOOT!
Oksara: Trex is now know as One-Eyed T-Rex
41-VEX: lol
Trex grabs his eye
41-VEX from the floor
Trex gives a roar
Oksara: oh boy, he's still standing
Trex gives another fiercer and more primal roar
Fable Creel: Oh, crap. I can't take much more of this, we gotta take both down ASAP. Wish Fiver could fix us up...
Trex quiets roar down to clicking reptilian sounds
Trex lets out a raspy rattle
Fable Creel: Oooh, did you get him, Oks?
Trex goes down to his knees and falls forward
41-VEX: oh, yeah!
Trex is dead.
41-VEX: Trex is "extinct".
Oksara blow off the smoke frrom her blast carbine
Hunter E. (GM): Damn, wish I did that one.
Tracy G.: lmao
Hunter E. (GM): Good one lol
41-VEX: lol
Oksara: :)
Fable Creel: Sweet! Now, for the droid...
Hunter E. (GM): But yeah, that was the exact damage needed
Oksara: whooop!
Hunter E. (GM): The droid deactivates itself and does a self-destruct.
41-VEX: We call dibs on his ship
Oksara: loved the false alarm
Hunter E. (GM): Same with the other two at the entrance.
Tracy G.: lol
Fable Creel: Oh, we need to get on NOW and get in the air!!!
41-VEX: Wooo-hooo! Kiss my shiny metal ass! :)
Hunter E. (GM): Everyone restore either your cool or your presence for strain
Oksara: lol, Bender! welcome to the party
Hunter E. (GM): or rather, just Vex
Vex gets full strain back lol
George B.: well done with getting the reference! :)
Hunter E. (GM): This is your opportunity to heal up if needed
depending on how many medkits/repair kits you have
Fable Creel looks at her self. "DO we have any med kits on us?"
Hunter E. (GM): Bios started out with 4 stimpaks
Oksara: i do
41-VEX: I am a fully equipped medical repair droid
Hunter E. (GM): and Vex started out with uhh
2 kits
my bad, bios started with 2 stimpaks
Tracy G.: How much will 1 stimpack heal for?
Hunter E. (GM): but I think SOMEONE used one stimpak in the cantina?
4 wounds
41-VEX: Yes. I will use 1 kit on myself, so that I am less prone to error ... then, I will offer to use my medicine skill to repa--heal Fable
Hunter E. (GM): that is an easy check, so 1p
Note: that will not heal her wounds, just get rid of her crit if successful
Tracy G.: stimpack doesn't heal? or it does?
Hunter E. (GM): And Fable no longer feels discouraged by her wound.
Stimpaks do heal
but Vex's medicine skill removes injuries
Tracy G.: great
41-VEX: DIRECTIVE 262 part II: "Don't worry, be happy."
Hunter E. (GM): haha
I love these directives
41-VEX: :)
Fable Creel: Oy vey. That was bad, Vex. But thank you. I'll try using a stimpack to see if I can heal up a bit.
41-VEX: You are most welcome, master Fable
Hunter E. (GM): Meanwhile Oksara is just sitting back, thinking how grateful she is to have shields.
41-VEX the "master" part is always spoken with a buzz of irony
Oksara: indeed, just basking in the glory of recent battle
Hunter E. (GM): The shields being Fable and VEX, that is
George B.: hahahaha
41-VEX: Fiver, let's get moving! We've got a ship to shape up!
R5 Droid: LET-US-HASTEN
Tracy G.: OK, can I get a roll for stimpak?
Hunter E. (GM): Free heals
Tracy G.: sweet. +4?
Hunter E. (GM): Consumable, though. Once you use it, that's it until you find more.
Correct :)
Tracy G.: Yeah, I'll just use one so I'm not near death
Hunter E. (GM): Wise!
Fable Creel: I'll head to the cockpit. Can y'all get the HMRI set up and let me know when we can take off?
41-VEX: Fiver, where do we go? Engineering?
R5 Droid: Oksara looks behind her before she boards
and notices Stormtroopers coming!
Hunter E. (GM): damn it, meant to do that as GM
Tracy G.: OK
41-VEX: The ramp!! Close the ramp!
Hunter E. (GM): It would behoove you to go ahead and take off!
The HMRI isn't needed to take off, only to go in hyperspace
Oksara: yes, I go in the pilot seat
Fable Creel hurries and gets into the cockpit, setting everything up.
Fable Creel: No, I fly. I'm a pilot.
Hunter E. (GM): You join Fable
41-VEX: pushing the 'close ramp' button
Oksara: im pilot too, lol
Hunter E. (GM): The ramp closes.
Oksara: we can work together
Fable Creel pulls the loading ramp up
Fable Creel: OK, hurry and get in the copolit seat. Droids, buckle up! We're taking off!
Hunter E. (GM): YT-1200s are meant to be piloted by a pilot and a copilot
Oksara: starting off the engine
perfect!
Hunter E. (GM): You can't start an engine from crew quarters
Oksara: ready Fable?
Hunter E. (GM): lol
Tracy G.: You're in the wrong area...crew quarters. lmao
Fable Creel: Ready as soon as you get here!
Start up the engine, let's goi!
41-VEX: one of us should man the guns
Hunter E. (GM): VEX is there to tell you the odds, I see.
George B.: lol!
Oksara: I have gunnery, I ll handle them
Fable Creel grabs the steering. The guns are up there, nto in here.
Tracy G.: lol
is the engine started up now?
41-VEX: I can co-pilot
Hunter E. (GM): It is as soon as you say they are.
Oksara: yes, engine all warm up for u
41-VEX: if you want to go to the laser canon turret, Oks
Hunter E. (GM): Also reminder: YT-1200s have two gunner positions
Fable Creel: Good, let's go. Can you climb into the turrents while I take off, Oksara?
Oksara: point me in the direction
:)
Michael D.: Do I go in battle with the stormtrooper or use gunnery roll?
Fable Creel pulls on the steering, starting to lift up, and moves towards the sky.
Hunter E. (GM): The Krayt Fang thrums around you as its engines power up, lifting through the hangar bay doors and into the bright sunslight of the Tatooine sky. Soon, Mos Shuuta vanishes behind you as you race out over the Dune Sea and climb toward outer space.
Suddenly, an alert klaxon blares! As you leave Tatooine's atmosphere, several spherical starfighters with distinctive hexagonal wing assemblies appear on the ship's scanners - TIE fighters! The starfighters shoot past, laser cannons blazing, and sparks fly from a console in the cockpit - you've been hit! You're not clear of the planet's gravity well yet and can't jump to lightspeed without the hypermatter reactor igniter installed. You'll have to deal with thes TIE fighters first!
41-VEX: Hold on, R5! (someone had to say it)
Tracy G.: Can we have one piloting while the other two shoots?
Hunter E. (GM): Absolutely
So
Oksara: good thing I'm already in the seat
Hunter E. (GM): Here's how space combat works.
Three major roles
1. Pilot
2. Gunner
3. Mechanic
41-VEX: aha
Hunter E. (GM): the pilot does the loopty-swooping
the gunner does the pew-pew
and the mechanic hits the hydrospanner on whatever needs to be spanned
Pilots can do either Evasive Action or Gain the Advantage
Oksara: lol @spanned
Hunter E. (GM): Evasive Action makes it harder for the foes to hit you
Tracy G.: OK..
Hunter E. (GM): Gaining the advantage helps the gunners line up their shots, making their rolls easier
Gunners can
shoot
that's about it
41-VEX: lol
Hunter E. (GM): Mechanics fix the ship as needed
Tracy G.: We're in the planetary, right? Not in space?
Hunter E. (GM): Correct
No
Sorry
This counts as space piloting
Even though you're not out of the atmosphere just yet, you're still not on the planet
Tracy G.: NP, I wanted to make sure since I hav rank 2 in space piloting.
George B.: we're in low orbit
Hunter E. (GM): Planetary piloting is more for swoop bikes, hover cars, that kind of thing
George B.: nope, not in orbit yet
Oksara: gotcha
Tracy G.: OK. So does space piloting help us with fighting?
Hunter E. (GM): It's argumentative, I'll give you that
Tracy G.: IN terms of rolls and stuff that is.
Hunter E. (GM): The tutorial calls for space piloting
But since space combat isn't exactly my favorite part of EotE, I'm willing to be flexible
Oksara: use your destiny roll, Hunter!
Hunter E. (GM): especially since we're kind of in the grey area
hahaha
George B.: I think it is up to the pilot -- can go higher to space, or lower to stay planetary
Hunter E. (GM): Okay, I'm going to use my destiny point to argue that this is space piloting, just to give you guys some kind of advantage
two advantages, really
Tracy G.: I would use space piloting, since I DO have points in that, I think?
Oksara: :)
Hunter E. (GM): 1. You get a white point and space piloting is better for Fable :)
George B.: sweet
Hunter E. (GM): Initative is already established since you were warned
Tracy G.: woot
Hunter E. (GM): so the Krayt Fang goes first then the TIES
Tracy G.: OK. I'd do the gain the advantage first, what do you guys think?
Oksara: yes. gfi
Tracy G.: is R5 useful fo ranything? Mechanial? Go fix shit on the ship?
41-VEX: yes, and I am manning a gun too
Hunter E. (GM): R5 can do the mechanics
41-VEX: attaboy!
Tracy G.: sweet.
Hunter E. (GM): Okay, so Tracy is doing gaining the advantage
if she is successful, the gunners will go from 2p to 1p when firing
that is a 2p roll
Tracy G.: OK. How do I roll for gaining the advantage? and does space piloting do anything?
Hunter E. (GM): You roll your space piloting
Tracy G.: OK, so 2y?
Hunter E. (GM): correct
George B.: ooh, that is really good
Tracy G.: 2p2y then
Hunter E. (GM): yes :)
And you are successful
Oksara: nice!!!
41-VEX: pew pew pew
Hunter E. (GM): You stall mid-air and let the TIEs swoosh by you
Gunners, use your Gunnery skills
Oksara: why did we stall?
Hunter E. (GM): with 1p checks
George B.: skillz
Fable Creel: Well, we need the ties in front, Oks. I'm awesome. Now you can shoot them easy!
41-VEX: easy .. is easy for you to say
Oksara: no burst, but three critical
Hunter E. (GM): Be sure you specify who you shoot at
Oksara: the one that just swooshed in front of me
Hunter E. (GM): Doesn't matter actually lol
Since you both missed
Fable Creel facepalms and readys herself for the shootbacks
41-VEX: still getting the hang of this. gunnery systems are laggy
Fable Creel: Fiver, brace for impact and fix whatever breaks, please!
Hunter E. (GM): The Krayt Fang's lasers might've needed to be realigned, oops! VEX and Oksara quickly find the realignment controls and take aim early on! Both will get 1 blue die added to their next roll.
R5 attempts to fix the HMRI
R5 Droid: R5-REPAIR
R5-BEST-REPAIR-DROID-ON-TATOOINE
Fable Creel: Well, then you can become the best repair droid in SPACE, Fiver!
R5 Droid: R5-ALSO-BEST-REPAIR-DROID-OFF-TATOOINE-APPARENTLY
41-VEX: :)
Hunter E. (GM): R5 successfully repairs the HMRI
Oksara: awesome
41-VEX: Fiver, you are a STAR!
Hunter E. (GM): The HMRI will take time to warm up
Tracy G.: Do I need to hit anything to warm them up?
Hunter E. (GM): So either stay alive or destroy the TIEs long enough to be able to jump into hyperspace!
Nah, it's warming up now. It will be 3 rounds or until the end of combat until it is ready to go.
Tracy G.: OK
41-VEX: maybe we can fly into a giant space worm, and take it easy for a bit?
Hunter E. (GM): There are no asteroids around Tatooine unfortunately
The TIEs turn now!
TIEs attack as a wing unit
meaning they both attack together
Fable Creel: That's not gonna happen, y'all. Brace for the TIEs!
41-VEX: zoiks!
Hunter E. (GM): And they both miss. Clearly the gravity of mid-orbit combat is affecting the laser's physics. The TIE pilots have adjusted accordingly.
Tracy G.: My turn to pilot?
Hunter E. (GM): It is :)
Evasive Maneuvers or Gain the Advantage
Fable Creel: Ok, let's try this again, I really need y'all to hit them and hit them hard, ok?
41-VEX: affirmative
Tracy G.: Gain advantage. I'll try braking again, hopefully they won't expect it so soon.
Hunter E. (GM): Go for it
You are successful!
Gunners?
41-VEX: I-HAVE-YOU-NOW
Oksara: I am aiming at Tie fighter that swooshed us
George B.: oh sorry, I am aiming at lower tie as well
Hunter E. (GM): You'd still have to pick which one lol
and don't forget the blue :)
Oksara: yeah, im aiming for the one in space
Hunter E. (GM): They're both in space
We're all in mid-orbit lol
George B.: haha
Oksara: one is on the planet
George B.: let's say upper and lower?
Oksara: aye
Hunter E. (GM): Close your eyes and pretend
lol
George B.: I am shooting lower one
Oksara: i just shot theupper one
Hunter E. (GM): okay
dag
Tracy G.: Sweet, y'all rock
41-VEX: ka-blooie!!
Hunter E. (GM): There is a flash of light as one of the TIEs disintegrates!
Oksara: beautiful sight!
Fable Creel: Sweet!
Hunter E. (GM): The other TIE is nearly crippled, barely flying, but is still determined to make their stripes!
The TIE turns around and shoots!
41-VEX: we had to get a 'try-hard' TIE
Hunter E. (GM): haha
Fable Creel: Well damn.
Hunter E. (GM): And it completely misses!
Krayt Fang's turn!
Tracy G.: Sec, they messed up badly on the pizza we ordered. I gotta call and fix the situation.
Hunter E. (GM): okay :)
Fable Creel: Ok, here we go. Let's go in for hte kill~
Tracy G.: gain advantage
One purple right?
Hunter E. (GM): 2
Tracy G.: even though one tie is down?
Hunter E. (GM): you're trying to help the gunners get 1p
Tracy G.: OK
Hunter E. (GM): yes, 2 is average
Fable Creel: damn. Sorry, y'all
Hunter E. (GM): As soon as the TIE sees the Krayt Fang slow down, it slows down as well
Can't fool this try-hard three times!
Oksara: lol
Vex, do you want thenkillshot?
41-VEX: fool me once, shame on me ... fool me twice ... well, you can't fool me again
Hunter E. (GM): A great saying from Tennessee
But also in Texas
41-VEX: :)
Thank you sir, but I think you should have the honours
Oksara: for honor....
R5 Droid: WHY-NOT-BOTH
41-VEX: Fiver, you amaze me sometimes
also for honor ...
Hunter E. (GM): (don't forget, 2p)
George B.: his dice roll said "boom!"?!
Hunter E. (GM): The gunners can almost hear the TIE pilot calling for his mother
haha you captioned the roll
Oksara: shut that MoFo dwn!
Hunter E. (GM): We'll wait for Tracy to get back :)
41-VEX: your mother can't hear you in space
Hunter E. (GM): o snap
Oksara: In space, no one can hear you screaming for your mama
41-VEX: lmao
Hunter E. (GM): But they're mid-orbit
I don't know what the rules are for that
Oksara: lol!
Hunter E. (GM): If there's still gravity, sound can get out
Right?
41-VEX: needs atmosphere, not gravity
Oksara: Deaf planet
lol
41-VEX: Eyeth
Hunter E. (GM): But atmopshere implies a level of gravity, yes?
or the other way around
gravity implies atmopshere
41-VEX: no, you are correct. the first one
Hunter E. (GM): then again, I'm thinking about the moon - very little gravity and very little atmosphere
41-VEX: there's gravity far out in space too, but not enough around anything to hold an atmosphere together
Hunter E. (GM): idk, I teach 3rd grade science lol
Oksara: lol
41-VEX: lol
Hunter E. (GM): okay, so since there's a gravitational well, we can assume that there is atmosphere
and maybe
just maybe
someone heard this poor pilot call out for his mother
such as a droid and a twi'lek in gunner seats in a stolen YT-1200 freighter
41-VEX: I did. And it made me run my "chuckle" program
Hunter E. (GM): haha
I hope the pizza is okay.
I would be upset if my pizza was wrong too.
Oksara: Pizza the Hutt died while eating himself
sorry...
Hunter E. (GM): hahaha
I haven't seen Spaceballs in forever
Tracy G.: Back. Pizza is all messed up. Half was supposed to be pepperoni, onions, and bell peppers, other half with fresh mozzarella and basil. The pizza arrived with NO toppings on first half and correct toppigns on 2nd half.
George B.: same here. especially now, since I am eating a lot less ... decided to try the intermittent (16 hour fast) diet
Hunter E. (GM): They did announce a Spaceballs sequel, but idk if that was true or not
George B.: lol, oks
Hunter E. (GM): Oh wow!
Oksara: Rick Moranis just did a camero as Dark Helmet last week o The Goldbergs. he was teasing Spaceball 2
George B.: nothing on the fist half? jeez
Tracy G.: yeah. They're sending a replacement pronto.
Hunter E. (GM): nice
Tracy G.: so nwo I"m back, and yay, all fighters dead!
Hunter E. (GM): free plain pizza
Tracy G.: and extra helping of the 2nd half. lol
Hunter E. (GM): Sweet
:)
OKAY
Ample time has passed by
The HMRI is warmed up
And if someone doesn't say it, I'll be upset
Tracy G.: 2 pilots needed for hy[erdrive?
George B.: it won't be the same without Mel Brooks. Or John Candy, for that matter. But mostly without Mel Brooks, I can't say I am in favor of this
Oksara: Mel Brooks passed away?
Tracy G.: He's still alive I think
Hunter E. (GM): He's an old fart.
George B.: is he going to be in Spaceballs 2??
Hunter E. (GM): No idea, but I'd settle for a stan lee-esque cameo.
Tracy G.: Still alive. Still acting.
Michael D.: I duno, everyone was surprised he did the Dark Helemt cameo on a tv show
Tracy G.: Anyway, 2 pilots needed for hyperdrive?
Hunter E. (GM): Just the one. No roll needed.
BUT
SOMEONE
SHOULD SAY IT
Michael D.: take us away, Fable
Fable Creel: Ok, y'all, brace up, let's jump into hypedrive!
41-VEX: do you mean ...
remember ... the force will be with you, always
Hunter E. (GM) facepalms at you guys
41-VEX: hahaha
Fable Creel: Vex, that's old.
41-VEX: just kidding
Tracy G.: lmao
Michael D.: lol
41-VEX: TRAVELING-THROUGH-HYPERSPACE-AINT-LIKE-DUSTING-CROPS, FARMBOY
Hunter E. (GM): lol
This is the first group that has managed to not say the line.
Fable Creel: That's right, Vex. At any rate, strap yourself in, we're making the jump to light speed!
Tracy G.: lmao. I'm not good with quoting movies
Michael D.: I have no idea what the line sppose to be
41-VEX: my line was about hyperspace, at least
Michael D.: I got a bad feeling about this
Hunter E. (GM): I'll give you a hint
"_____ ___, Chewie!"
41-VEX: BAD DOG, CHEWIE!
Hunter E. (GM) facepalms
Michael D.: buckle up, Chewie?
41-VEX: hahaa
Tracy G.: lmao
Hunter E. (GM): You guys have successfully PUNCHED IT
41-VEX: lmao!!!
Hunter E. (GM): into hyperspace
Michael D.: lol!!!
Tracy G.: LMAO! That was the line? Punch it?
Hunter E. (GM): yes
lol
41-VEX: Punch it, Chewie!
Michael D.: yup, i forgot about that oe
41-VEX: WOOO-HOOOO!! BOOOOP BOOOOP
Tracy G.: lmao
Hunter E. (GM): I ought to knock off xp for this travesty
Tracy G.: So, is that the end?
Hunter E. (GM): But I won't
lol
41-VEX: :)
Hunter E. (GM): Yes
Michael D.: cheers
Hunter E. (GM): Thus endeth the tutorial adventure.
But this story is not over.
There is a second part to this adventure.
You guys are welcome to create your own characters and retcon them into this story.
41-VEX rubs metal palms in anticipation
Michael D.: sweet, i do have question
Hunter E. (GM): Shoot!
Michael D.: the regular mission are longer than the tutorial misson?
41-VEX still rubbing metal palms. it is REALLY noisy ...
Hunter E. (GM): Don't look at them as "missions" but rather stories to be told.
They're technically told in episodes
This was episode 1 of the story
Michael D.: gotcha
Hunter E. (GM): Episode 1 was titled "Escape from Mos Shuuta"
Episode 2 is titled, "Long Arm of the Hutt"
George B.: yes, but in true Star Wars fashion, we need to tell the episodes out of order ..?
Hunter E. (GM): hahaha
Episode 2 is immediately after Episode 1
:)
41-VEX: I say we call this one episode 4
Hunter E. (GM): Fair enough
Michael D.: I enjoyed this, and want to try again in ASL, however with the Star Wars jargons will be a challegene
Hunter E. (GM): That has been my fear
When I do this in ASL, it comes off as... a bit more plainer?
Michael D.: i agree with you, for Star Wars, English is better
Tracy G.: I concur.
Hunter E. (GM): since there are several signs that have several meanings
Tracy G.: Maybe we could use the videos to discuss OOC stuff?
Michael D.: if we use different therme, we can have more felxible rule with asl?
Hunter E. (GM): I like that idea
Tracy G.: and use the chat to RP as characters?
Michael D.: OOC?
41-VEX: ooh, I like that idea too
Hunter E. (GM): out of character
Tracy G.: Thatw ould make it easier to figure out when we're in charac and ooc if we forget to do the /ooc
41-VEX: that is brilliant
Michael D.: aye
Hunter E. (GM): that is an excellent idea, I really like it
Michael D.: me too
Hunter E. (GM): Tracy and I would just need to figure out our video difficulties
Tracy G.: Yeah. We'd ahve to get on early to iron that out.
Hunter E. (GM): or we could use a video conferencing site, like the one George suggested
Tracy G.: Video conferencing is a good idea too
Michael D.: and also one session for sure at DBGC
Hunter E. (GM): Oh, absolutely :)
Tracy G.: Yes!
Hunter E. (GM): although the focus of DBGC is board games, so I don't want to use up too much time for RPGs unless there's a high demand for it
At the time, I am only planning one session
41-VEX: indeed. Also, during the summer, I will be using a different computer (and sometimes unavailable. maybe we could say that my bot was powered down during those sessions)? I am going to Iceland on June 19 to 24, then in Dublin and other places in Ireland until Aug. 6th ... but I should be able to get online from Dublin
Michael D.: maybe after closing time?
Hunter E. (GM): If someone else would like to lead a session as a GM, I would support that and help as much as I can
There is no closing time at DBGC lol
except when the deaf club kicks us out
41-VEX: :)
Michael D.: Lol yeah
Hunter E. (GM): I'm not super strict about schedules
Tracy G.: I'd be interested in trying my hand out as a GM for a different RPG.
Hunter E. (GM): I would need the time to prepare anyway
Tracy G.: Maybe VTM.
41-VEX: VTM?
Hunter E. (GM): It is very commonplace for sessions to happen with several weeks in between
Tracy G.: Vampire: The Maserquade.
I'm not fond of VTR (Vampire, the Requim, takes place after VTM)
41-VEX: ah, gotcha
Hunter E. (GM): Michael, I am still looking for BtL books!
Because now i'm interested :)
Tracy G.: It's by White Wolf Publishing, they have a different series, and that one is from Chronicles of Darkness.
Michael D.: BtL?
Hunter E. (GM): If you want to lead a session, go for it!
Tracy G.: they have vampire, werewolf, mage, promethean, changeling, hunter, geist, and mummy.
Hunter E. (GM): Beyond the Loop lol
Tracy G.: Dark gothic.
Hunter E. (GM): Sounds like a good combination of DnD characters with gothic elements!
41-VEX: cool. I'd be down :)
Michael D.: ooh Tales from the Loop
Hunter E. (GM): Damn, yeah that's what I meant
Michael D.: sure, II ll share ithe pdf with u
Hunter E. (GM): O:
you have the pdf lol
you can share it under the tutorial drive
which I guess I will now have to rename lol
since everyone is done with the tutorial
Tracy G.: Sweet. I'll hunt down the pdfs of the books and see if I can find VTM books. They're rare and hard to find. I only have a couple.
41-VEX: Thanks again, all! This was super fun
Hunter E. (GM): Would you guys be okay with bringing this chat to the larger group?
Tracy G.: Yep!
Hunter E. (GM): so the other two guys don't feel left out
Michael D.: just uploaded the TFL on the SW drive you shared with us so everyone can see it
Hunter E. (GM): excellent, thanks!
41-VEX: yes, you can copy the whole chat and I think people would get a kick out of it :)
Hunter E. (GM): I think Michael B said he was planning on chronicling their adventure
Tracy G.: Yesss!
