[OW] Die Hards OOC Thread

[Mazer Rackham]

Since we're missing the combat map of the immediate turn, I'll finish that off narratively so we can move things forward and streamline everything, putting it back on track.

 

Unless of course you really want to get shot up by Orks? ;)

[Commissar Molotov]

Best of luck, troopers!

[Steel Company]

I'll take a pass on continuing the fight, I much more enjoy the story.

[Mazer Rackham]

It begins...

When you say roll for your companions, do you mean that you roll once for yourself and once for the comrade, using your own stats each time?

[Mazer Rackham]

Whoops - that was my intention, yes.

[Mazer Rackham]

Just as a litmus test bump guys, let me know how you think it's going so far, what you'd like to see more of/less of/suggestions welcome and I'll try to sort it out!

 

Nice posts by the way, some lovely touches in there :)

[Steel Company]

I think it's going pretty well so far.

[Beren]

Likewise, I'm having a lot of fun playing this out.

[Mazer Rackham]

Good to hear, glad I'm more or less dialled in. :)

Hey MR, a question about the Valkyrie, considering that Scarlett used to be a Strom Tropper (Drop regiment), are there any markers on it she might recognize, and the navy guy, is he an officer or enlisted?

[Mazer Rackham]

I know you've got interweb troubles Steel, so I'll drop the gen here for your post at your convenience and let you get on

 

You'll certainly recognise it as a transport belonging to the 114th Naval Ordnance Corps, they've had some interaction with the 101st, as they're the lads who get called up for the heavy orbital guns, as an ST, you'll be certain it's an FAC/JTAC bird (kind of like an OS-2 or a Fiesler Storch).

 

That means the guy inside will be Officer rank at least, his uniform carries Midshipman insignia.

 

The fire will be burned low, since the Valk is half in the river.

 

Is that ok?

That works, it gives me something to work with, and I'll try to get something up today.

Nice work gang, keep them coming!

[Steel Company]

Already put up another one.

[Mazer Rackham]

Poor Midshipman Halbast!

 

He's just trying to be friendly...

 

[Steel Company]

She doesn't overly like officers, it was an officer that got her sent to this outfit to cover his Hersey (by selling Tempestus equipment and supplies to rebels), and Scarlett taking revenge by eating food off his table (after she had been forced to eat corps-starch for months and months while he had real food).

Oh, I know.  Why do you think fate threw them together? ;)

[Steel Company]

And Scarlett is now regretting saving his backside.

[Steel Company]

Okay, that got a chuckle out of me this morning MR, it felt very much like something you'd see out of a WWII movie.

[Mazer Rackham]

Good! 

 

This game is about fun as well as grimdarkdarkdark. 

 

Besides, I think this is a more character driven kind of deal than overarching plot - since it's a one-off, we can pretty much do what we want.

 

As long as it includes evacuating before the timer runs out...

[Steel Company]

She's trying too!

[Mazer Rackham]

If you need a bit more info etc, feel free to ask queries and stuff in here

 

EDIT: Once I've got the party back together-ish, we can do some shooting!

 

:D

 

You guys like shooting, right?

Hey MR,

 

I'll try to get something up tomorrow, but first, is there anything I need to know about getting that leach off? Is there a roll that needs to be made or would it let go if Scarlett dumps the flask's contents on it? Will I also need to make a roll to use something from the med kit to cover up the wound?

[Mazer Rackham]

No worries bud,

 

You don't need any checks, as I would assume you'd have been given some kind of survival brief/or experience out here would have distilled best practice.

 

As for the wound itself, the alcohol will clean it out, it just needs a dressing.

 

If you want to roll numbers, a Survival Check would be appropriate.

 

Once I've got your narrative, and a few spare moments I'll move everyone on, including the timer
