Stealth is Average with an Upgrade (CD)

Mechanics is Average (DD)

Ok, looking at the posts for this and the last turn, I am tracking an initial Two Difficulty for Rax's Stealth check.

When Rax rolled last time, it resulted in an increase to the difficulty. (Post #526) According to the Core, that would add another Difficulty Dice, not upgrade a difficulty Dice to a Challenge.

With Issan's roll, there is now an upgrade. (Post #534) Is that to the difficulty check or to Rax's dice? In addition, there is a setback.

Currently, I am tracking Three (3) Difficulty dice and a Setback Dice. Is one of the Difficulty dice upgraded to a Challenge dice? Or is it to upgrade one of Rax's Ability Die to a Proficiency Dice?

Just wondering, could we wait until after Galth rolls for Rax's Stealth check before conducting actions?

Issan gave an Upgrade to Rax's dice with a Setback. I may have used the wrong wording, but Rax's roll was meant to upgrade a Difficulty Dice to a Challenge Dice. Thus the dice pool would be PAAAABCDDS.

And the Stealth roll marks the start of the round, so all actions go after it.

Understood. I just want to keep track of all the upgrades, downgrades, increases, and decreases.

Just to explain, I haven't moved this on since we're waiting for the Stealth roll, which I believe Galth had volunteered for (he did the last one, so I'm assuming he'll be carrying on). Not to put pressure on you buddy, but could you just throw it in there so we can keep it moving?

Just to follow up my previous post, since Galth hasn't been online in about a week Sarone is going to roll his dice for this one to move things along. I'll try to find out what's going on. Hopefully there's nothing to worry about. Thankyou for the patience.

Hey guys!

Sorry for the long delay. Short version is that there were some problems with my final project required to get my degree, and I basically had to turn and burn to get it in on time. At this exact moment I'm just in a holding pattered waiting to hear back, but I think it's pretty much resolved. What all did I miss?

HE LIVES!!!

Ahem, never doubted you for a moment man. Is it all sorted out? Need any autopiloting for the character? All you missed was Issan climbing up to the head of the bridge (the road part lower down, the rail part is above him) to see what was going on and make a Perception check. And we discussed your dice pool for this. It's a bit messy! (PAAAABCDDS for reference purposes)

I think I should be fine, but will let you know if I need to work on corrections or the like that will keep me busy again!

You didn't miss a whole lot. It's just getting a bit more hectic for the group, though.

Crap, I thought the roll had already been made for me, rolling stealth right now

That was a truly awful dice roll. Tear44's curse must be spreading. Don't touch my dice you monster!!

For the sake of speed I'll roll the next Demo check. That means using CT's Mechanics 2, Geoff's Intelligence 4, and Oro's unskilled assistance.

That puts me at Two Ability Die + Two Proficiency Die + One Boost. What is the difficulty for this check?

Edited by Sarone

IIRC, if you're using CT for skilled assistance, you can't claim unskilled assistance from Oro.

Tears dice long ago contaminated mine. You don't know the power of the Cursed Dice, Colonel. I MUST fluff my roll.

Yeah, there can only be one person providing assistance. Since it's Average Difficulty, the dice pool is PPAADD

Never mind. I thought Oro can provide it since he was able to last time.

Well to be fair, he's not doing anything to help with the exploding. He is doing a lot to help with you lot not getting shot.

I was going to use the idea that Oro was holding tools and gear for CT and Geoff for the demo work.

Just curious, how far are the various groups away from the Imperials on the bridge? Also, what kind of cover does each group have against said Imperials?

Ah, now there's a question. You can't see them due to the darkness, but nor can they see you. All you can infer from that is that they must be at at least long range, if not further.

Is anybody else going to roll a roll, or are you all happy?

So the Security/Support group probably has concealment and some cover, while Demo Group has total cover and concealment?

As for me, I'm happy with this round and ready to move to the next.

The Security group are all hunkered down behind an earth bank and thus in full cover except when they poke up for a look (except for Issan up on the road, who's in the open). The Demo Group is hidden by the dark only (which imposes 1 setback) because they're having to move. That said, the pillars are pretty blaster-proof. And rigged with explosives.

So, when are we ready for the next stealth check, and what will I be rolling this time?

has the mechanics been rolled?

has the mechanics been rolled?

Already rolled it. Managed to get two successes and two advantages. Handing the advantages off as a Boost to Rax.

We also used your demo charge. That leaves one on Oro and three on Geoff.

@Titch: Do you want the next roll or have it be a first come, first roll?

Edited by Sarone

I'm not sure if ImperialSpy had a plan that he wanted us to wait on. Theoretically we could have the stealth roll now, but if you think it might be best to wait and see if the others have a plan you can.

If any other member of the team has a plan, but not the time right now to post it, like this post so I know to hold on. Otherwise Galth, post under your own steam.
