Game Master greg white 722

To add to the ravages of a brutal civil war The Schaler Trivarium must also now suffer a terrible plague. You have accepted a mission to deliver a vital supply of much needed serum to the system. Delivery of the serum and other much needed medical supplies to an awaiting hospital ship, it should be an easy mission.

Thaya: Georg!


Georg stumbles out on the hold.

Georg: What the hell!

I'm getting back on my feet, but it's a long, hard road. I'm having to rebuild all my PFS and PF characters in Hero Lab, as they were lost when it crashed.

Aurora gets back to her feet and smiles disarmingly, giving a noncommittal shrug.


Thaya: Georg, disarm the bombs!

Thaya levels her gun at Dr. Feldspar.

Thaya: Leave your gun on the deck, and come over her!


Fineline: Definitely a helicopter. Coming closer.


Male Human Pilot

Anson: Bogey confirmed to be a helicopter. Where is everyone? I'll try to contact the helicopter.

I'll try to comm the helicopter.


Soon as the bombs are disarmed, Eli throws them at Thaya and draws his auto pistol...if that is possible.


Boone: Athletics test.

Fineline: Comms test.


Athletics: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6


So the bombs are a unwieldy, unbalanced mess: you fling them away from you, and they clatter to the floor, midway between you and Thaya.


Does she flinch or otherwise give me an opening to get my pistol out?


Male Human Pilot

Comms: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 +1 if an Education check.


Boone: She flinches, but quickly recovers.

Unidentified spacecraft, identify yourself!


Male Human Pilot

Anson identifies himself, making sure to mention their mission and that they're a vessel with an important cargo of medical supplies.

After a moment's thought, he mentions the fact that they're being held hostage, liable to explode at any moment, but that they've come to an agreement with their captors.

He then responds that the helicopter identify themselves.

Did we ever get a name for the location we're currently in? I mean, the specific area since I looked up animals here earlier.


Sure, you can roughly figure out where you think you are, using archived geographical information. There doesn't seem to be any GPS satellites available however.

If you want a specific site name, I'll let you chose it.


Male Human Pilot

Nah, not really. I just imagined that the area we're in might have been important, or we're near a group's territory so I can guess who the copter came from.


[helicopter]:You're in territory claimed by the 99Liberation Front.

Of course the name of the organization whose territory you've apparently landed in means nothing to you.


Male Human Pilot

Anson: And I assume you're part of that organization?

Is there time to look up the organization while talking to them?


Fineline, make a computer search, for the 99Liberation Front: I'll give a +1 DM for your 'Agent'.


Male Human Pilot

While speaking with the helicopter, Anson quickly pulls up a search.

Computer: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 = 7 Additional +1 if Education roll.


Fineline, nothing immediately comes up for the group.

[Helicopter]: You claim to be here under duress, correct?


Male Human Pilot

Anson: Yes, but we've come to an agreement.

As tenuous as it was with what was happening elsewhere anyway.

Aurora keeps her hands up, but maintains a careful watch on Thaya.


Thaya: Georg, better get up to the bridge, see if you can't raise--she catches herself before she carelessly drops a name--the others, and let them know the situation here.


Thaya: Boone, put your gun on the deck!


"You drop it Thaya. Its over. The bombs have been removed and I think it is time you and your people left our ship!"


Thaya grits her teeth.

I still have two hostages though!


"If anything happens to them, you die. Simple as that. Now how about you get off this ship. Now!"


Something seems to snap in Thaya, snarling, she fires at Boone.

Thaya, Slug Pistol: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9
Damage: 3d6 - 3 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) - 3 = 9

Boone, roll against Survival. If successful, she telegraphed squeezing off a shot, and you can attempt to Dodge.


Everyone roll initiative.

Thaya 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 6) - 1 = 9
Georg 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5


Fineline, you hear the crack of gunfire from the hold.


Male Human Pilot

I'm assuming I'm included in the Initiative roll.
Initiative: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 1 = 9

Anson's head snaps up when he hears the crack of gunfire a few moments after he's spoken that they've come to an agreement with their captors. He's torn on what to focus on: the possibly hostile copter headed towards them or the situation on board the ship.

FInally, he gets on the comms and makes one last plea for peace.

Anson: Whatever you're doing, stop the in-fighting and get it solved now. Incoming copter stated affiliation with 99Liberation Front, unknown group, claiming we are in territory claimed by them.


Dr. Aurora Feldspar F34 (34) SI MD 343B82-A(U)
Skills:
Art 0, Carouse 0, Computers 0, Deception 0, Language 0, Life Science (Biology) 1, Medic 2, Persuade 1, Steward 0, Survival 0, Trade 0

Initiative: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 2) - 1 = 6

Aurora grits her teeth, seeking an opening. When Thaya fires, Aurora takes the advantage and leaps forward, trying to tackle the other woman, only to sprawl helplessly on the floor.

Melee (unarmed): 2d6 - 1 - 3 ⇒ (2, 3) - 1 - 3 = 1


Survival: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 1 = 9

Dodge: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Initiative: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6


Boone, I assume you're drawing and shooting back?


Oh, yes..thought I had said before I had my pistol drawn....will roll to hit!

Attack-pistol: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5) + 1 = 11
Damage: 3d6 - 3 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) - 3 = 10?

I cannot seem to find a damage table for my autopistol..sorry


That appears to be correct.

Thaya sidles towards the cover of one of the cargo pallets, snapping off a wild shot as she goes.

Snap Shot: 2d6 - 3 ⇒ (3, 2) - 3 = 2


So did I hit her? Just wondering..it was a reallt good roll...would hate to have wasted it!!


Boone, yes, you both tagged each other in a scene worthy of a Sam Peckinpah film.


Dr. Feldspar, from your position on the deck, you see that Thaya's errant shot managed to drill a stunned Georg.

Skills:

Aurora tries to reach Georg, with the intent of stabilizing and possibly aiding him.


Thaya fires again at Boone.

Thaya's 2nd shot: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6

Note that when you fire back she'll receive a -1 cover bonus.


Dodge: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Attack-autopistol: 2d6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 - 1 = 6
Damage: 3d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) - 3 = 13


Dr. Feldspar. Reaching Georg you see that his wound is serious, though not immediately life-threatening.

Skills:

Aurora attempts basic first aid to stop any bleeding and stabilize the wounded man.

Medic: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9


Dr. Feldspar, you're able to stabilize Georg.

Fineline, the approaching copter is at about 5 km. out, and will be right on top of you in a few seconds.


Male Human Pilot

Anson quickly addresses the copter, not doing anything hostile due to the risk involved.

Anson: Please state your intentions.

What weapons does the ship have? I don't think we have any, if I recall right.


No weapons, other than of course engine thrust. You figure that the copter is already in range for any missiles it might be carrying, and coming into range for any guns.


Male Human Pilot

Anson tries again.

Anson: Please state your intentions.


Anson, silence is your answer.

Boone, there's no answering shot from Thaya.
