Alchemical Problems IC RPG thread

By April, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Thanks for the welcome everyone, nice to meet you all. Do you have a proper medbay? The Sith's arm needs attention. Also, does anyone else need some patching up? Or am I needed at a battle station for this fight against an organic spaceship? I'm much more useful in the medbay, but if it's an empty station or me then I would be more than happy to fill a spot. Sounds like sharing stories will have to wait.

(If we have time I can make a medical check on everyone as they make it to the medbay. I need to know your wound threshold and current wound level to know the difficulty of the check. Or the difficulty of a critical hit if that's what you'd like me to fix up. Is there a place these are posted anywhere? What is the difficulty to heal the arm?)

So many feelings come over Durrak but he focuses on the Force. He hears whispers to retreat and get to the safety of the ship. As he withdraws he take one last look over his shoulder at the acolyte.

No,it is better to leave. These creatures are full of the dark side. Deception is it's weapon. I will have no part of it.

Aww, c'mon, pal. You know you're my eyes and ears in the field, my Scout?

Approaching the dejected droid, Astrid runs a hand over its carapace, checking for any signs of damage.

Watch my back while I retrieve the Perimeter Fencing, then see if you can find an oil bath on this yacht.

Durrak, Give me a hand breaking down the perimeter?

it perks up with a happy beep, and bounds to protect you.

Last to know, thanks frak-holes!! Yea I'll grab the **** codes.

"Bennar, I'm happy to make your acquaintance and I hope you're ready to take on an organic spaceship in a space battle because I believe they may have one of our crew!

"Shard, see if you can prevent that ship from leaving with the station's defenses and patch us in through communications please."

it doesn't have any offensive, mainly lots of shields, Armour, tractor beams, its in a "safe area"

(I think to make it easier for @April to keep track of roll requests, we should get in the habit of tagging her when the post is more than just exposition)

theirs quite a stacked medi bay that you see is being used to knock out some kind of inoculations.

would be handy

( @april is the living ship docked? Can I prevent it from undocking? Does the station have tractor beams? Also yorrik are you still in the mall? Figure we can grab a few trooper suits, a handy disguise for later. I'm going to erase all can recording of our adventure after downloading the can recordings to take with us to review)

Going over to the medbay, Bennar tries unsuccessfully to repair the arm. However, all is not lost and Bennar thinks with some more time and study he will be fully able to repair the arm.

Reattaching severed arm - Using Master Doctor talent : 3eP+3eD 1 failure, 1 advantage

Forgot Triumph result from last check. (Was supposed to be green not yellow) : 1eA 1 success

(Took 2 strain to use Master Doctor to reduce the difficulty by 1. I forgot to upgrade my check from my triumph from the last check so added the extra green. Assuming that's ok I have no success/failures, and 1 advantage, if that wasn't good then I have 1 failure. Can I use that advantage to get some sort of boost on the next check for the arm? Like maybe I learned something this time that will help next try after we escape and have more time. If not I'll just recover 1 strain of mine since I'm getting up there.

Its not attached to any clamps, However there are Tractor Beams which work on well A large Electromagnet system... while you Could slow it down... Im not sure a fire fight would be a good idea for a Civilian pleasure craft with a few guns.. Compared to the unknown weaponry of that thing

its

Basically your unsure how her circulatory system works but you think with the machine you just spotted... it should be easier the second time.... However she insists on waiting for her interceptor... so you can try now or ill give you a blue dice on your next medical roll of any type?

( @April I was referring to the mall/station... Does it have tractor beams?)

I guess i wasn't clear? yes the station has several however they work against metal

(Ah darn)

Ok I'm gonna grab a few things and book it to the ship.

He hurries and deletes evidence of their presence on the station, he downloads the logs and gets up from the rolling seat, the seat of his pants and feet soaking in blood, he rings the nastyness from his hands and feet as best he can. He strips a couple troopers and drags and uses the strap from his back pack to group the two uniforms together, and throws the bottoms ( to complete the rest of the suit he has on) over his shoulder.

Still alive! Whooo!

Bennar respects her request to wait on her interceptor for the next attempt. While he believes that he will be able to give her full use of her arm next time, given the aid she has received and the preservation capabilities of this medbay there is no rush to try again as the impairment is not life threatening and the arm will be all right on ice for the time being. He takes this time to familiarize himself with rest of the medbay and await his next patient.

(Is there a bacta tank or a spot for one that we could install for future use? If anyone wants a medical check while we have a lull in the action feel free to stop by! I'll take the boost die for now as I don't want to ruin her arm and since this is Star Wars preserving it for a short bit while we wait on her interceptor shouldn't be an issue, assuming the medbay is functioning adequately.)

Disembarking with Durrak to recover the team's perimeter fencing, Astrid sees the True Sith nearby, ship approaching.

Lady Xirrix. Your assistance and stoicism are appreciated. I hope to see you again, as an ally...

Soon, if your Interceptor is able to keep up with that... living ship. Keep in touch. And Please keep us informed.

Spy-D ranges off a bit, keeping watch as the duo begin to collect the portable fence emitters.

Shard greets the rest of the team from across the dock. An odd sight that Aye floats over to inspect. This skinny scraggly figure dragging what amounts to the husks of their vanquished foes. Making splerping noises as he walks from his soggy bloody feet, and the rattling of the empty laminate bumping as he drags it.

Can I get a f relling hand here! Thought we could use these... Anyone got a hydrosprayer?

Zyi! If any of that blood's yours, we've discovered a pretty extensive medbay.

Otherwise... I'll hose you off, before you board. No time to start being squeamish, now.

Hesitating only a moment, Astrid shifts the emitters to under one arm, and relieves Zyi of one of the trooper-suits.

After realizing they were going to survive, he submitted to the "prison" hose off complements of Astrid.

Naw im alright...

The sticky dark crimson and scarlet stains bleed into pinkish swirling pools as they make their way down the drain. He towels off and almost ritualisticly wraps his head, and throws on an olive tank top that falls loose on his frame and raggity faded black baggy capris.

He combs the excess water from a sprig of feathers on his head, then looks around the Hind. He spots the medic.

Who the frag is you?

He turns to the others, Apparently we are collecting quite the menagerie of folks, first a yokle moonshine bombardier, then Worra Mr. frontier lawman, then some provincial aristocrat turned goul, turned not again, now we gotsa jawa and the survivor of the fraksville mall massacre... What next your going to tell me you brought the fracking rancor with us... This has been a crazy day...

He pauses looking over all the characters assembled.

So I was watching the other cams... Didn't see everything that went down where you all were, since it was on a separate subnet. So what the frell happened, did I see three kriffing lightsabers? How's that kriffing possible? Shoulda only had two arms!? For frags sake, now they adding arms to things or some shizz?!?!?!

Frag me! Some booze please!

He pauses to evaluate the situation.

We are outta harms way right?

...Everyone's here right? No casualties on our side... right?

He rubs his eyes. Looking tired, he looks back over to the new comer.

Ok back to you, frells your name? What are you doing in the middle of a blood bath? And why weren't you part of that bath 'o blood?!

you notice somebody has combined most of the lesser liqueurs into a large decanter... Griff is just sitting outside... drinking from a flask " I think something must have eaten charlie, we didn't see him.....I have to go back... For the clan.... If theirs anything left it must be returned to the sands... Aww frell.... " glug, glug, glug

He must've been swimming through gore to access the station's security... durasteel stomach on this one!

Astrid grabs a couple cold ones from where she'd stashed the case of Ebla , inside the "FRIG" 87-RM Collector.

Handing a beer to Zyi on her way out, Astrid sits next to Griff and opens hers. I'll have to watch the security feed with Zyi. Not looking forward to that... Taking a drink, she throws an arm around her distressed companion. We'll find Charlie together. Not certain we'll like what we find, but we'll find him. I guess Spy-D didn't turn up anything on the unfortunate Jawa... She sits and finishes her Ebla with him quietly. Giving his shoulder a gentle squeeze, she stands. Don't go without me. I need to go through the security footage.

Zyi! Can you locate our missing pod on the Hind 's scanners? If they did make off with Sar Agorn in the pod, and their organic vessel took it in, we may be able to track them? Also... I need to view the security footage, see if we can find what came of Griff's buddy Charlie.

Yorik was tired. The strain of their situation had finally begun to take its toll and now the adrenaline was beginning to fade. He looked up at the massive rancor in their ship's Hold and just grinned stupidly.

Not at all how I expected today to go but we're still alive and breathing so that's a huge plus. We need to get more ice cream though.

"So, Nix, do you remember your home at all or did you grow up here in the Mall?"

What the frell were they going to do with a rancor? Worse, if Mr. Zando was willing to dissect Lord Crumbleberry then he'd surely do the same thing to Nix and Yorik wasn't about to let that happen. But, what kind of "catch & release" program was there for a Sith modified Rancor? Hmmmm.... Even worse, what could they do if the rancor was the one on video making that river of blood in the mall?

Yorik thumbed the ship's comms, "Hey guys, quick request, before we just head back to Mr. Zando... Can we play the security cams to see what all went down in the mall? Also, we need a plan to push forward regarding Nix' freedom because if there's a similar situation to what happened before with Lord Crumbleberry, I'll fall on the side of Shard for this one and I'd prefer to avoid that kind of confrontation entirely.

Also, can we run a quick detour to a planet called Tython please? Sar Agorn mentioned that we needed to go there before he was abducted... If we can't track that Miraluka ship then maybe we can find answers there. Also, Thank you guys, for all of us making it back in one piece. Now, let's get Worra and grab any other survivors and get the frell out of here!

"Oh, and who's up for another ice cream run?"

I'll pop up some bang-corn and meet you in the lounge with the Ebla .

I'm open to suggestions, if you think we can somehow rehabilitate your new friend, but we need to take something back to Zando.

Oh, sure! A quick jaunt into the Deep Core, with no hyperspace lanes... Astrid's sarcasm abruptly gives way to interest, as she recalls some of their previous conversation.

Is that where this Crystal Sword is supposed to be? And did Sar Agorn already program the chain of coordinates?

Edited by Edgehawk

Wait who the frell is Nix? Are you frelling me!?

He looks wide eyed at everyone, then laughs and his face twists into a sardonic grin.

Yeah your pulling my kriffin leg...

He opens the beer and takes a long guzzle.

Nice one, almost had me...

A low rumble, deep, resonate but child like voice echoes from the cargo hold chamber through the durasteel hull.

"Mmmm... Iiiiiiiii-cey creammmmmmmmmm!!!!"

Its timbre is almost sing-song.

What the frell?!?!?!?!?

Edited by TheShard

Yorik had an idea about how to deal with Mr. Zando that should allow the crew to avoid an immediate return and buy them time enough to investigate the other leads they had found. But, he needed to run it by the others first.

"Hey, guys, what do you think about sending Mr. Z a message stating that we secured the mall but the Miraluka escaped in an organic ship and we're attempting a pursuit. Also, let him know that we discovered rumored whereabouts of the Kaeli Crystal Sword and we're going to investigate..."

"& New guy! Bennar! I look forward to meeting you and kicking back and relaxing. It's been a helluva day...."

That it has Yorik! Glad it seems to be over, for the moment at least. Turning to Zyi, The names Bennar, I'm a medic. I avoided the massacre by not being here when it happened. I came with a supply of combat stims to help in reclaiming the station, but was not expecting the place to....look the way it did. Almost like... Bennar trails off for a moment, before gathering himself together again. Anyway, nice to meet you all. How long have you guys had this ship? It could really use a Bacta tank in the corner of the medbay. Would make it a lot easier to treat some of the more serious wounds.

Durrak heads to his room. I need to refocus and rest. The dark side once again looms over the galaxy.

Down some strain and a wound points. (13/14 wounds, 9/14 strain). Recovery roll? @april

He raises an eyebrow at Bennar.

You mean you walked into that mess? How'd you know it was happening? Who shows up to a massacre in progress?
