I'd like to just take as much cover as I can. I'm not going to do any actions.

@Rabobankrider @Edgehawk I would like to add the first triumph to Den's gunnery check.

I'm a little confused about the relative whereabouts of me and the squad. I guess I can see the speeders from the place of interrogation, but don't seem to have any way to reach the group.

We planned to track down Fitzsimmons with the subs. Any pilot with us, @bsmith23 ? @Shlambate are you focusing on the girl or Fitz?

@Edgehawk , I'm assuming I'm back up on the initiative order, are the stat's for the LAAT/c the same as here https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport ? Also I'm assuming that the speeders moved to close range now to do their attack?

The LAAT/c has different stats than the LAAT/i, but damage is correct. They’re both in FiB. I’ll send you the relevant distinctions if you need me to.

Sorry for any confusion. Fitz was presumed dead following a well-placed shot from Luks, and lengthy fall. But this is Star Wars, and it should not be shocking that he might still be out there. It has been alleged that he could still be alive, but he has not been sighted yet, despite my narrations IC.

The girl is on the surface, in the scrubby boulder field surrounding the rim of the crater. Hale is near her. Unbeknownst to anyone, so is Fitz. Luks took the tank carrier and fired on the airspeeders. I believe Romar is getting his Phantom in the air. The interrogations were taking place either inside the engineering facility or on the team’s shuttle (don’t think it was ever specified)? Briar escapes the tower before its top exploded, but I’m not sure exactly where she is now. All comms to the capital ship are down.

@Rabobankrider Den’s attack takes down a T-47, and damages another.

Once I'm up I'll be engaging the speeders. Anything I need to adjust before I roll?

Also, @Edgehawk , are you okay with me picking up the Clone Pilot Talent Tree per xp spending rules, and just renaming it Imperial Pilot?

Additional question
Posted at

Drogos will go after Fitz first as he needs him gone if he is to get to the girl.

Posted at

I will join Drogos, but we seen Fitz in the water last, so i presume we follow the current for him with the sub, to find him, as we learnt he probably survived. Then it's just me and Drogos.

Or alternatively, may I spend some time, and a Knowledge check, to calculate/estimate the most likely point where he reaches the coast?

Was thinking Education, as it's a complex, physics, topography, geology problem

The speeders are breaking formation, so you’ll need to select a target. There is one damaged, and there are two undamaged. Clone/Imperial Pilot is fine!

Evon is astute enough to figure out that the underground water passage is too deep for Fitz to reach/navigate without the sub or some similar means. Of course the AT-TE is still down there, but Briar’s (inaccurate) assessment had it facing imminent failure. Maybe make a check to determine wherre the weak current at the water’s surface might have taken him (where he might have climbed out of the water, if he was indeed still alive)? Make a Hard Education check. @Shlambate If Drogos is working with Evon, roll Average Survival to track Fitz’s path up from the water.

Well, that's said:

Education - Fitzsimmons' track : 1eP+3eA+3eD 1 failure, 3 advantage

I'm thinking, that I fail to correctly pinpoint his way, but accidentaly we got near to the girl? You said he too is in the vicinity, but we don't know that yet.

@Rimsen @Shlambate You may use your Advantages to deduce that Fitz, if he is alive, would seek out the girl (whose location has been communicated to you). You won’t be able to get up there this round, though. Actually... you can just do that, and spend Advantages for Boosts or whatever.

So we can just go to her then.

@Rimsen What do we spend Advantage on?

I have something in mind, I post it in IC.

Edit: I'd like to wait for Drogos' reaction first, then post my idea of this local flora. Something that helps us spot Fitz, when he reappears, thus granting boost to our checks to see him or setback to his to hide.

The girl is hidden, this round at least, but you know she is near Hale (who may be visible, or you can communicate with him). You don’t * know* Fitz is up there, but it’s your best guess, since you failed to pick up a trail.

@bsmith23 You’re up, hotshot, as the rest of the PCs have acted for this round. T-47s have broken squad formation.
@Shlambate You may put up a response post to @Rimsen ’s, but further actions will wait for next round.

7 damage to an undamaged speeder. If thats enough to take it out, use the advantage as Setbacks on attacks against the Phantom. If not, then activate Linked once.

That will take one out, so it’s just 1 damaged and 1 undamaged still in the air.

I’ll get a post up for Fitzsimmons tonight. Then it will be top of the next round with @P-47 Thunderbolt .

So yeah, put those advantages to work as setbacks. The Phantom can't take too much in its current condition.

I'd like to take 2 Maneuvers to engage Fitz and try to tackle him, preferably knocking the pistol out of his hand.
