'To Plunder the Stars Themselves' OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

If necessary, the seven of us can jump from the shuttle before it reaches Rolling Rocks, and the mortal crew of the shuttle can tend to themselves.

I'm getting an odd sense of Deja Vu...

[Xin Ceithan]

Is this going to be our thing? Shuttle crashes? :p

[Mazer Rackham]

Don't look at me - I'm not in this one! :p

[Commissar Molotov]

Yesterday's plan was to shoot the pilot in the back of the head, crash the shuttle and get Odysseus to shield us as we land...

Does Svelk still have to make the Ag test using the Jump Pack?

[Lysimachus]

Good point, yep I think he's fine!

[Machine God]

Does Svelk still have to make the Ag test using the Jump Pack?

He does if he forgets to turn it on.

[Xin Ceithan]

I am out ifhousetoday, so Freelance to make those rolls in between to get the story going…

I am assuming this is a Tech Use skill attempt? My idea is putting something like a glitch in, lots off,ickering lights, faulty displays, na screen rebooting an inappropriate times… something that could explain going off course and isn’t the thing you attempt to do mid air.

A bit of smoke and burned cables is welcome but optional.

 

it’s still our get away, so it should stay in one piece, 

[Lysimachus]

Yeah, roll it as a Challenging (+0) Tech-Use test?

 

Success has the desired effects as you've described, failure means it doesn't work and the shuttle is still working normally.

 

But failure with 4 or more DoF means that after landing the shuttle's machine spirit has been offended and actually does stop working, and will need some work to in order to get it in the air again...

[Xin Ceithan]

Ok, added the results from my trusty mobile dice app

and just saw that I  even made things more difficult for me, seeing as I took the Tech Use at  -10 … but  it’s probably just Ithan showing off and not me misremembering ;) 

[Lysimachus]

Cracking! I think with Svelk not needing to test that means everyone is safely on the ground!

Will update later, also want to get things moving for Beta...

As an aside, I was trying to work where everyone in Alpha actually is, and ended up doing a quick Paint sketch to get it clear in my head. Figured i might as well post it here in case it's helpful to anyone else? So Alpha will be moving north from the drop off point into the settlement.

The typical Rolling Rocks inhabitant: M41, colourised.

 

[Xin Ceithan]

Not sure if the correct option here is to „like“ or to  „purge“ ;)

[Machine God]

Ratlings!

[Mazer Rackham]

...Yes.

 

Ratlings!

 

:D

[Lysimachus]

Dammit Mazer! Now I need to figure out a way to revise my storyline to include that...! :lol:

 

 

And the map above was made on my old laptop, where the base colour looked like sandy desert, and now I've just seen it on my newer mobile device where it looks minion YELLOW, so apologies to anyone blinded by it... :D

[Beren]

Do either of our Heightened Senses apply here?

[Commissar Molotov]

I thought the whole point of jumping out was so we didn't enter the town - not least because the residents will be aware of us, potentially leading to us having to wipe out the town to avoid witnesses.

 

 

Surely we would be watching how the shuttle crew are received? Additionally, if there is any Imperial presence or if the Sisters send anyone.

 

We've not been told that our mission is time-sensitive and we've travelled through the warp to get here. A few extra hours do not matter.

Sorry guys, I've obviously misunderstood your intent there, I thought it was just to approach from a different direction to where anyone thinks you'd be coming from?

 

If you prefer, I'm happy to cut the final sentence from my post, so you've moved close enough to see the place seems deserted but not actually entered yet?

[Commissar Molotov]

Personally I'd prefer it if you did. I'd want to see the shuttle landing and see what response it engenders.

[Lysimachus]

Ok, edited with the shuttle landing and you still outside the town.

[Lysimachus]

@MG: Just noticed something in your post, I think Awareness is a Trained Skill for everyone, so you don't need to halve your Per? So you get a couple of DoS at least!

 

I'll update later with what you can see, but if anyone else also wants to roll, maybe there are more details you can make out between you?

 

Derp, missed Beren's question: Yep, any Heightened Senses or Armour Autosenses bonus can be applied!

[Xin Ceithan]

I have just written the most poetic Perception check in my personal RP history.. :p

 

and filled up the placeholder to glitch up the shuttle.

Whoops you are right, It's on my character sheet.

 

IC post updated.

 

Awareness Check, Perception 43 +20 (Auto-senses) = 63. Result: 17 - Pass (4 DoS)

 

(Edit: to tell of update.)
