'To Plunder the Stars Themselves' OOC Thread

[Machine God]

Just as a note, Burst of Speed is a solo ability so anyone that uses it has dropped out of squad mode and won't gain the +5 from Traveller's Path.

 

Will get my post up in an hour or so!

Noted. No wonder that I could not find it in the Rulebook, I was looking in the wrong place. Draak will have 1 DoF then I will update.

[Necronaut]

Doh!

[Machine God]

Draak's post edited to stay within Squad Mode.

Draak gains help from an unknown source.

He pointed to the release mechanism as the shuttle hovered; and although Brynjarr steadied the vessel by skilled reflex, the small ship was a buoy in the waves, 'a leaf on the wind.'

 

GM, what are my numbers on this window for a 'Who Dares Wins' abseil?

 

 

@MR - So you are going for a Lewis Collins abseil whilst dooming Brynjarr to death with a quote from Serenity?

[Mazer Rackham]

Technically: Yes.

 

Hopefully: No

 

I saw Serenity at an advance screening in Birmingham.  Unknown to us Nathan Fillion was down in front.  He wasn't best pleased I laughed when Wash was killed.

[Machine God]

Ooh six more books to read.

[Necronaut]

Edited Vesalius' movement to stay in squad mode; still had 2 DoS. Going to leave narrative gubbins as-is if that's alright.

Brynjarr will be fine, in that alternate continuity that was my first game of Dewathwatch RPG he was in and survived a much more dramatic shuttle crush (we were shot down by a Tau Baracuda if memory serves).

 

I can’t speak for Holger though, as he will probably need to take over the controls so Brynjarr can follow the other two down.

[Lysimachus]

Yep, I was going to ask if you wanted to swap over with Holger, figured you probably would!

[Mazer Rackham]

Just have Holger close up after us - the shuttle will probably be a little hardier against the acid lake than us in plate if he comes a cropper.

 

Once we have control of the immediate docking facility, Holger can put down.

 

@Tro, yep, it was a Barracuda.

[Trokair]

Should I wait a while for Sobek to post Radago decent?

[Lysimachus]

Nah, you can go in any order! Now that Orphiel has smashed the glass you don't need to, either! And as long as one of you gets in that way, they can open the landing pad blast door for anyone that misses the window?

 

I've not seen Sobek in a few days, I'll check in!

[Machine God]

I has a look at the posts from Alpha looking at DoS and DoF. It looks like Decimus, Odyseus and Ithan can modify their posts to stay in Squad Mode and the DoS' clear the DoF's of Alpha

[Trokair]

Well, that went somewhere. I tried to play as the dice commanded, and it’s not going well.

[Mazer Rackham]

 

Could be a Fate Point Burn...

 

How far away is Tro from me?

[Necronaut]

Time for Brynjarr to take an acid bath?

[Trokair]

I have 3 fate points left if that helps.

 

Also clutching at straws, but dose the fact that Brynjarr’s armour is Void-Hardened provide any additional environmental protection here?  

[Lysimachus]

Sorry all, I had gone to bed. Blimey, that was unlucky!! OK, there's nothing for it but for Brynjarr to take a dip. But it's not over, you're a Space Marine after all! Just don't take too long pulling yourself out! :D

[Mazer Rackham]

Sobek, Tro - no time for frolicking by the pool!  We've got work to do! 

 

[Machine God]

How many times do Bodey and crew go through that door?

[Mazer Rackham]

1: In the film, not enough. 

2: In the video, see point 1.

[Lysimachus]

Lovely stuff there, Beta!

 

If we pause there for a sec and see if Sobek wants to add anything from Radago, then I'm going to move you into Structured Time for the assault to begin?

@MG, FYI when I use italics it is to represent Vesalius' inner monologue in case that wasn't clear.

@Necro - FYI, I totally got the Italics. 

 

Draak's response was to the failed bile laden second paragraph speech on the +Squad Vox+

[Necronaut]

Perfect!
