I'm gonna wait for whoever is rolling to keep calm before I pull on this thread ;__;

I'm just 'thinking out loud' as it were, but the more I think about it, the more I think Brin would try to facilitate the release of all of these captives including Dahj, and not reveal to Dahj that he was here if possible. He doesn't feel like he deserves to see him yet. So I'll probably try to push things forward to that end. Brin is also very invested in freeing these slaves now, but might not tell the crew about Dahj, or even that he knows anybody here. He's gonna keep that **** internal. Apply setbacks or strain as need be, GM. Do your worst!

Going third (fourth?) person here, I don't think aggressive negotiations will work, unless you mean in the Clone Wars sense. If so, lock and load.

You got 15 obligation for leaving him fate relatively unknown. You leave 5 of us to this and your obligation goes through the roof. That said, if this were Tox in your situation, it would be a tough call as well. I don't envy your predicament.

Knowing that I can't act on any of this, and knowing Tox knows none of this, she is ready to roll if anyone else is.

When you get skilled assistance you can substitute his ranks (in leadership) for your ranks (in Discipline). Means you get an Upgrade.

So if two people were working together to do something. The first has an ability score of 4 and one rank (GGGY) but the second had an ability score of two and four ranks (GGYY) they would use the better of each to make their die pool (YYYY)

That being said. Don't make the check if you don't want to. This is only for role playing guidance. You can just decide on what your character does.

Trying to understand correctly, if he has (GGY) and I have (GGG), then I can roll (GGY)?

Yes that is correct

But this only works when someone is 'cheering me on'?

If so, thats a cool mechanic.

I have a quick question about the IC narrative. @Weedles and Fries @Ahrimon are Khaine and Neelig already at the entrance hatch? Who else is out there? If I'm making an attempt to rally everyone, is it happening out there? I'm just waiting for some clarity before I make a short IC post myself - for consistency's sake.

It read to me as that Neelig was first to go to the hatchway, he then demanded that it be opened. Khain then went to the hatchway and opened the outer door. He and Neelig then stepped inside the airlock and Khaine paused a moment checking the rest of the party to see who else is going with them.

Yeah, it only work with cooperative checks. Typically it would be used in cases where two characters are trying to accomplish something together. Like when the DUM Droids are helping with mechanics checks. In this case Brin is helping you keep calm. so his leadership is helping your cool/discipline

Gotcha, from my point of view, Tox will be going through the hatch with Neelig and Khaine to gain the boost. From a story perspective, it fits as she has gotten to the point that she trusts this team, can't let them fight without her, hates slavery, and hates people being taken advantage of. Her hand is being played for her.

Neelig and Khaine pretty much started at the same time. Our destiny posts.

So, I'm assuming I use my discipline (GY) vs Brins Leadership (GGY) but flipped as a difficulty, so DDC For the final result being 1eA+1eP+2eD+1eC? For role playing purposes.

Posted IC, hope that helps to provide some context.

No, He is helping you. He is giving you skilled assistance on your Discipline or Cool. You need to decide the difficulty yourself.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish I suppose. It sounds like the check you're making is to resist Brin's attempt to rally rather than to resist going off hot-headedly on your own.

The only reason you will make a check is to help you decide how to play your character. What you roll in that case is entirely up to you. I suggested on way to do it but that doesnt matter really. This roll (or not) is out of my hands.

I roll great when I don't need to roll anything better than a single success. But when it counts, crap. Guess she was more stressed than she let on.

Teamwork. Yes! : 2eA+1eP+2eD+1eS 2 successes, 1 threat

So what does that mean? How do you play your character?

Discipline Check (GGG) + Teamwork Boost (GGY) + Average Difficulty (DD) + Setback (S)

Discipline to maintain composure against horrors.
Teamwork boost due to Brin's rousing speech.
Average Difficulty due to fact that she is calm and willing to jump in the fray to fight.
Setback due to the fact that she didn't stop to switch gear and thus might be less than perfectly prepared.

She's ready for the doors to get opened and fight.

@Ryoden Should I post IC for S'zish's reaction to the guards and other information?

My proposal for action is that before we go in with various weapons blazing, that we get more information. So since S'zish has the best stealth he can try to sneak into the cargo hold to gather more information on any unusual circumstances beyond what we've seen already.

With Brian's calming words and S'zish's request to be stealthy Khaine will not go guns blazing and approach the situation a little more tactically. I'll use my advantage to give myself a boost to the next check since people are calming down and can focus more.

Discipline : 1eA+2eP+3eD+1eB 1 success, 1 advantage

As it's clear the group is going to storm the ship, Fzaexx draws his holdout blaster. He absolutely considers trying to override the emergency bulkhead and attempt to vent the ship, but figures the team would be against it; plus another emegency bulkhead would probably shut, limiting its effectiveness. He ignores anyone trying to calm themselves and instead makes sure he is last in line to go in.

Fzaexx also encourages the gand to scout.

Also, destiny:

2 lightside, the force is with Fzaexx!

Brin also likes the idea of S'zish running some recon -- if he does that, we should have somebody watching his back via the security feed. Whoever is most perceptive I suppose?

Fzaexx will absolutely quarterback

(no ranks in perception, but he does have 3 cunning and near zero combat ability should the gand need rescuing)

I concur. Tox would be very very weary of him being there though.
