Shadows and Dust OOC

Guys, it's really dark in here and, well, Garon ate all the sandwiches in the first 20 minutes. Can you let us out soon? Pretty please?

I just imagine the High Inquisitor reading "Fun with Luke and Leia" to Morra while Janna, horrified, serves him tea

Well, you've been in there for pretty long. Time to flush you down I guess...

Ok. i had a ridiculously fun weekend and no sleep, but no time to read or keep up with you guys.

My wife and I own and run a small retail store and online shop. In the last 2 weeks we have had 3 trade shows(5 days total of our time) and a mumprenuer convention this last weekend with associated awards night. Between traveling to the trade shows then this weekend spent with 3 kids in a cool hotel (and blowing a stupid amount of money on fun/food) I have had very little time to get on here to keep up, let alone post regularly. I regret not letting you all know earlier, thinking i would have time to read and post, so i apologise for that. But crazy time is over for now, so i can get back to regular posting again.

Pilot post incoming in the next hour, ill keep it short to get it done.

Quote of the game right there! nice one kaosoe


He had some aggression to misplace.

Not really sure what to post about after the latest GM post, but I guess Ren-Do is tweaking his sensors, trying to spot enemy fighters breaking off from their current engagement and assembling for an attack run on the freighters.

Kymrel, give me an easy computers check

Even I will have a hard time failing that. Boost from the astromech-droid providing assistance.


Computer check working the sensor in the fighter : 4eA+1eB+1eD 4 successes, 3 advantage



If you have no suggestions for the Advantages, perhaps working the computer allows Ren-Do to increase slightly his understanding of his vehicle, and get one more floating boost he can use later in the scenario?

The advantages can be spent just like any other advantages. Recover strain, get a boost or two, make a setback, do something critical to the narrative.

OK, I'll spend 2 on a floating boost for Ren-Do to use later (up to 4 then!) and the last one to recover 1 strain.

Does the success give me any info?

Can Rin Astrogate to identify a good path for their squadron to follow?

OK, I'll spend 2 on a floating boost for Ren-Do to use later (up to 4 then!) and the last one to recover 1 strain.

The Sith starfighters are definitely minding their own business, but your computer system reveals that the Sith cruisers are actively scanning the system.

Can Rin Astrogate to identify a good path for their squadron to follow?

Yes. Average, upgraded once with a DP, 2 setback for starship debris. DCSS

Interesting. Very interesting. Would there be any way a small starfighter has the computer capacity to jam and/or confuse the scanners of a cruiser?

Ignoring one Setback with Galaxy Mapper.

Show me the stars : 2eA+2eP+1eS+1eC+1eD 2 successes, 1 Triumph

I would like to create some cover of sorts for us with that Triumph. Perhaps a field of debris we could fly behind to fool those scanners?

Rin's quite fast at this too. No idea how that would affect this instance but he figures it out in half the time.

Starfighters do not have Electronic Countermeasure suites powerful enough to jam cruiser scanners.

Thought as much!

Do I need to make any checks for the boarding party?

Can Kellen try a Knowledge: Warfare to pick a good protective formation to give some advantage if we're spotted?

Or should I wait until after we've made Pilot checks to make through the channel?

Hard Perception with a Setback for the alarm. You need to look for a way out of the fire and destruction.

Piloting checks first. Hard.

Ooooh Perception. No way I could fail that...

Perception check : 1eA+3eD+1eS 3 failures, 1 threat

Good thing this fire I'm standing in gives me plenty of light to look around with.

You have someone there who can assist lol

Sonya's first pilot check

Flying circus : 3eA+1eP+1eB+3eD 1 success

a--.png a-a.png a-s-s.png p-a.png b-a-a.png d-f-th.png d-th.png d-th-th.png

Looks like smooth sailing through that channel. I will post IC soon.

You can have one more boost for Sonya, you should get one from the droid assisting, and another for the handling!

Hard piloting check you say. I have the feeling this is not going to have a happy ending. I'll use one of the boosts from my mechanics-shenanigans to improve my chances a little, and flip a DP as well. Second boost is from the droid, third from the handling.

Piloting roll : 1eP+3eB+3eD 2 successes, 1 advantage
Whaaaaaaaat!??! A success and a single advantage? How bizzare. I'll use the advantage to give the next player to roll a boost as he follows Ren-Do into the jaws of hell...
EDIT: I'll post IC after Richard has led the way with Rin, he plotted the course, after all.
Edited by Kymrel

I'll take that Boost, thank you very much. Two Agility, no Piloting, Ren-Do's example, Droid assistance and the craft's handling gives:

Piloting (Space) roll : 2eA+3eB+3eD 0 successes, 5 advantage
a-a.png a-a.png b-s-a.png b-a-a.png b-a.png d-f.png d-th.png d--.png

I'll use three Advantage to upgrade my next check, as Xaramis is now getting acclimatised to the controls, and the other two to provide a floating Boost to whoever needs it. I'll post after Rin does as well.

Can Tok also try perception. See if he can find any direction they should be heading? I'm thinking we want to head to engineering and try to take out as many systems as we can to cripple the ship.
