What happened to the mid air shootout?

 

Not sure, I saw it but then by the time I got around to working out a response it was gone...

 

I know Mazer was wanting the various subplots wrapped up, maybe he changed his mind about adding extra stuff in? 

[Mazer Rackham]

Scrapped it, didn't like it - would add a bit too much to the narrative since Lysi has to get trained how to use his peashooters as well.

Pretty much this.

GM: Sorry Tro, I expected you to have direct questions!  As Bardas replays the recording on the way up, you hear several references to the nucleonic stacks, and the fitting of special couplings in there. Cross-referencing this with your previous information, you now have the location of the Golem's lair. The tracker signal Falk and Nicios will help provide the route to it.

 

That would require me to be as clued in as Bardas, but alas this mortal, unblessed by the Omnissiah, is a bit dumb at times.

 

Anyhow, I assume Bardas side quest is now not only concluded but he is going to join up with the others directly in time for the final showdown.

Mostly, the rest is flavour for you to add as you please.

 

The side-quests will take some time, but are happening simultaneously, so the overall time loss will be minimal, say two to three hours for round trips, regrouping, pushing out into staging position.

 

By the time you reach the entrance to the lair, I estimate you'll have roughly six hours to save Damocles.

I'll let some free-form clean up and tie-off happen before moving Falk and anyone else down to the staging area at the top of the lift shaft.

@Lysimachus & @Mazer Rackham - Is there any chance that I can get a Barter Roll from Reynard so that Kerr Restal can get a discount on his purchases?

 

I was hoping to get a Good Quality pair of photo-contacts and trade in his old pair of photo-contacts for a red-dot sight.

[Mazer Rackham]

Don't see a problem with it. If Lysi wants to do the roll here in the OOC, or you can both fold the acquisitions retrospectively into your response posts (to boarding the lift/Locke's comments etc), in the IC to keep it all tidy, if you wish.

 

ie:

 

"Restal did x"

 

++++++++

 

"Standing on the platform, Restal thought/said/did"

Direction.

[Lysimachus]

Yep, no worries, roll of...

 

39, which is a Pass but no DoS, I'm afraid. That gets you 10% discount I believe?

[A.T.]

@Mazer Rackham - was there a price for a low quality supression shield? (from ascension so no listed throne value)

[Mazer Rackham]

When you mentioned it, I had a look at the Lockshield and Suppression Shield, but may have misunderstood you.

 

When you said 'burned out' Suppression Shield and mentioned 90TG, I thought that was what you were going with, so I didn't think I needed to say anything, as it seemed reasonable!

 

We can sort it out here, though - by burned out, what qualities were you thinking of discarding? I mean if you want a Lockshield I see no reason to say no.

The 'shocking' part. For whatever reason only the suppression shield includes the rule for bracing a weapon against it - arbites lockshields don't work in combination with arbites shotguns :p

[Mazer Rackham]

Weird.

 

Yup, that's fine. Rock out with your vox-legi out.

[Machine God]

Kerr Restal's purchases with 10% discount thanks to Reynard:

 

Good Quality Photo-Contacts: 270

Red-Dot Sight: 45

Mono enhancement: 35

 

Total: 350 Thrones.

 

Character sheet updated.

[Trokair]

Since the advance theam did not have any screen time and I do not recall anybody claiming the Auspex should I just put it back in Bardas's inventory? 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, that's fine.

The Underworld:

 

GM: I'm assuming you're scanning for life signs? If so, you detect none. The command dais still carries residual power, however.

 

GM: Note, you can passively gain Perception Based details with an Auspex, but if you're actively scanning, you have to give me a rough idea what you're looking for.

 

Err I guess yes, I was thinking space hulk blib token or so

 

Though perhaps, given the cold and abanonded nature, scanning for heat/elctrical power flow would be a good ideas as well.

 

Lets go with that if we may.

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Heat check, yes, can do.

 

No need for a re-roll, I'll adjust the post shortly.
