Agreed!

I see I'm not the only one who thinks this might be the case. It seems the scenario is set up for a loss. Assaulting positions defended by an equal number of troops with no explosives, let alone artillery or air support is a textbook example of a bad idea. But that makes it even sweeter if we manage to pull off a win.

Remember, if we get the enemy commander out of the game, they will have much, much worse dice pool for the mass combat. Of course, it will be a hollow victory if we do this and all "die" in the process...

Live with Honor, Die with Glory!

It wouldn't be much of a test if Anler were put in a winning position!

Exactly

So, what do we need to do to get past the fans? I assume we want to at least try to disable them, rather than destroying them with a lightsaber?

It is in fact an easy check, because it doesn't really require hacking, as the panels are there specifically to stop the fans. It just takes a little time to figure out how it works. If you activate any weapon or use brute force, there will be a competitive stealth check involved to represent the guards below.

So, easy Mechanics or Computer check?

Doesn't matter which one, nobody has skill in either. Time for our 'hacker' to shine!

Will he need one check for every fan in the way, or just one to learn how to do this quickly for the rest of our crawl?

Whoever went first should really be the one to stop the fans, as there is no way to get past each other. I will group fans into checks to speed things up.

That would be Doc. @satkaz is up!

So the only one who can access it is Doc is what your saying?

Due to how narrow the vents are, yeah. If you want you can use the junction to rearange, but that will cost you time.

No time really so @satkaz at least you have higher int than most of the Clones!

Alright, rolling.

Computers [Vents] : 3eA+1eD 0 successes, 3 advantage

Looks like I pressed the enter key a bit too fast. I wonder if I could try again with 3 boosts.

I'd say you can try again without alerting anyone below.

Alright.

Computers [Vents pt. 2] : 3eA+1eD 2 successes

And we are good.

Ok, so you can get 2/10 fans out of the way (10 success all the way through, but without failures, still pretty fast).

I was afraid that the one blasted dice would best us. How many Checks do we need to do @Rabobankrider

Faster than I could type.

I will say pause around 5 though, as I have a destiny point to fling at you lot.

So shall satkaz just keep rolling? Can I give him a boost die by giving him some advice over com?

Quick @satkaz roll two then six successes!

Can do unless you want to emote in between

I'll take that boost.

Computers [Vents pt. 3] : 3eA+1eD+1eB 3 successes, 1 advantage

Advantage can be used to save time in this situation I'd say. I'll post my ic response tomorrow.

Emotes? Well Met! or do you mean talk in the IC? If the former I don't suggest that anyone starts spouting Hearthsone Emotes in the middle of the Vents!
