Re: Req, we still have 22 unspent... at this point, rather than waste it, I'll allow anyone who wants something extra (ideally, something of benefit to the whole team, which Stalker Flares seem like they might?) to add it to the Req sheet.

 

A back banner for the squad leader perhaps ?

Sounds like a reasonable pick. After the Stalker Flares, you're down to 14 remaining, but I'll spot you the extra 1 needed for the Back Banner at 15.

 

Note that if we do select that piece to benefit the whole team, @Urauloth you are free to change the way it looks - ie it could be some sort of SW style backpack icon or trophy rack, etc, rather than a great big banner... which might be wise considering you're about to go into a cave/tunnel! 

 

 

[Machine God]

@A.T. - You need to edit your spoiler in your IC Post.

 

You've put spoilers instead of spoiler and your ending spoiler should be [/spoiler]

Hell yeah. I was wondering about something like this already, since it fits well with Váfri's armour trait and it's a pretty traditional SW way to mark out squad leaders.

Might I suggest using the skull of the ork nob we slew as the centerpiece of said trophy rack?

[Urauloth]

I edited a post into my placeholder and it didn't save properly. Ouch. I'm going to write elsewhere and copy/paste in future just to be on the safe side, but I've never had that happen before on this forum so I didn't realise it was a hazard.

[Necronaut]

@Urauloth I started using a running Google doc a couple of years ago to prevent exactly that. Sorry that happened to you. 

[Urauloth]

Good idea. Sorted now!

[Lord_Ikka]

Yeah, I always write in a Notes app of some sort before I paste it into the b&c. Lost a lot stuff before I learned to do that. Notes that auto-save are even better...

[Mazer Rackham]

Had it happen a few times to me, and I mostly write there and then, and curse myself for not sketching out first, but sometimes the second go is better...so, takes your chances..!

Note - Omoc never has more than 3 fate points available due to Abhor the Witch.

[Mazer Rackham]

I'm considering using the drop harness and lassoing Alda.

 

My quandary however is, do I:

• pull her to safety, or
• Use her as a fishing/drag lure.

...?

 

In sincerity, GM, these here bug holes, how well do they react to Krak Grenades? Should I take an Evaluate or is it fairly obvious?

 

Edit: Nice map BTW, Very Bobimus Ross, 28.M styleee.

Safety would be preferred, but as has already been stated, safety is not guaranteed, so if you want to go fish, then go fish.

Amazing idea!

No need for testing, I'd imagine a Krak will pretty well close any of the main tunnels leading off the hub. The only thing I would say is that after you've cleared the bugs, you may want to do some investigation of the hub (as the ambush site against the old Lucifer), so if you Krak the place to hell, it might make it hard to get any info?

Thanks!

@Lysimachus Gerhardt is down to 2/3 fate points due to my insane desire to not have my character whack his head on the door frame of the storm eagle when parachuting in earlier. 

[Lysimachus]

Thank you for your FP honesty, gents, that's amended on the status bar

I like your Moxie! Are you wearing bug repellant?

What? Outrageous, doesn't Inquisitor Kill'emall not have the Req for a damn shovel??!!

You misspeak, my friend. What you meant to say was: 'Gerhardt decided that strapping a storm eagle to his head in order to "nut the smegger into oblivion" was unsporting, so he chose not to.'

[Trokair]

Only one way to find out if standard imperial issue bug reppellent works on these guys.

I'm on the Lash will post on Sunday 

[Lysimachus]

No worries, have fun mate! 

[Machine God]

Asterius has a Half Move with Jet Pack of 12 can he get to Juvenile A?

[Lysimachus]

Hmm, definitely as a 36m Charge Move... I think he's just within range as a 12m Half Move - it's close but he should be able to get within 2m engagement range?

 

Edit: Actually, if your Ag bonus is 6, your base (Half) Move is 7m due to Hulking, so with a 14m Half Move due to Jump Pack you can definitely get in either way!

@Lysimachus I can give you that dodge roll right now, it's a 33 (success!)

I'm away from my books and keyboard currently but I'll do my best to get a post up tonight to keep the pace of the game going.

 

Do we want squad mode lads? Furious charge?

Usually, I prefer to let my trigger fingers do the talking, but here, yes. I have a Razor Sharp Kukri that's whining for a dining.

 

Since you're Kill Team Leader, you can drop us all into SQDM once per session without a Cohesion Challenge, although I hereby petition our beneficent GM, that if you use the phrase 'Banjo the Bastards!' we improve Radness*, and reduce the cost by 1 Cohesion.

 

Call us to battle, Wolf of Space.

@Mazer Rackham - You seem to have drifted somewhat CEDO. You might remember that this is a Child Friendly Forum and Lose the VHS tape down the back of the sofa, or at least edit your * Post.

 

Some Frater might Report you to an actual Moderati like @Lysimachus
