He has 1 resolve point left. He is stable, but also has already used his ability to ‘stay in the fight’ today to revive himself. The only way for him to wake at present is for him to be healed, or to await long-term healing (which allows for one check per hour after one hour).

Would you like me roll for your serum, Idar?

Unless Telion wants to roll it himself. My dice have been poor-to-middling mostly.

How much do you think we could get for the stock?

Stock? Please elaborate.

There's the storeroom where we killed the Vesk right? It's got...well whatever people get at bars on Absalom?

We’re not murderhobos!

Wait, when did this happen?

I'm not a murderhobo, but I play one on TV.

So in terms of divvying up loot, here is Idar's wish list:

• A pistol. This can be a hand-me-down. I just want a backup weapon.
  
• A few grenades. Not really worrying if these are are Vesk's grenades or the ones August looted. Just to to replace the frag grenades I've already used, and they give Idar options.
  
• One of the Twill's pulsecasters. Preferably the one he didn't fling against the wall. Could be handy to avoid dropping as many bodies.
  
• His share of the credits.

Coming right up!! Stand by for a gameplay post!

We really should just have a short hand for stripping an area to the floorboards and carting it away in a van because that's what we really want to do.

I'm pretty sure that what we really want to do is get out of there before either more goons or the authorities get arrive.

Also we don't have a van.

His share of the credits.

I currently have credsticks of the following amounts that belong to the party:

150 - from way earlier
150 - from way earlier
60 - from way earlier
150 - mook
150 - mook
200 - Vesk

These are the only things I believe I grabbed.

Things others grabbed:

6 100 credit sticks
1 500 credit stick
2 125 credit sticks
1 150 credit stick
317 credits in "cash"
Pair of spectacles that one of them is wearing is, in fact, a dual-screened portable datapad. I didn't realize this was the datapad I had grabbed. Is it, or are there 2 total datapads?
1 more azimuth laser pistol (5 charges)
1 azimuth laser pistol (0 charges)
1 azimuth laser pistol (14 charges) to Idar
1 spare battery (20/20) to Idar
4 more unmarked grenades
1 pulsecaster umbrella rifle
1 pulsecaster rifle (Idar?)
2 grenades (that I gave to Diamaante)

Would someone volunteer to create a loot spreadsheet for the crew?

Would someone volunteer to create a loot spreadsheet for the crew?

I can do it, if it can wait until next week. (I don't have time today, and then I'm going to be travelling for Thanksgiving.)

On that note, I'm going to be travelling tomorrow through Saturday. I will have internet access, but my ability to post more than a sentence or two will be limited. Please feel free to make actions for Idar as necessary to keep the game moving.

Looks like 2677 credits in sticks and cash.

As an aside, the pulsecaster rifles looks to use 40 charge batteries, so they are not compatible with all of these 20 charge batteries.

2 more 150 credit sticks, so 2977 total credits.

If Google Docs is OK I can create a spreadsheet for us.

Works for me.

Google Sheets is perfect for this kind of thing.

Even better! My ipad has an app for that.

There were 5 goons with laser pistols correct? Not counting the vesk, Ferani and the Twills?

I'll put it up this evening then when I'm at a keyboard.

Do we want 1 tab with group loot only or eould you each like your own tab?

I only tracked 3 goons with pistols and 150 credits and crappy armor.

If we're truly murderhoboing, don't forget all of that crappy armor.

Personally, I believe we're in a civilized sci-fi game, and people hauling 12 suits of bloody armor, cudgels and a massive stereo set across town will elicit unwanted questions.

Just a group loot tab. And then when things get parsed out, put their name next to it, at least until we're sure folks have moved it to their sheets.

Civilized scifi game? Pretty soon I'm going to look like a bandit with all the pistols I'll be carrying!

Here's the spreadsheet I made for my last PbP, if you need/want a template.

With the two additional goons in the alley outside the club added in, that’s a total of 5 azimuth laser pistols, 5 cudgels, and 5 flightsuits.

There are two datapads - one on Ferani’s desk that Jaxom has, and the spectacles that the Twill was wearing.

Ohhh! Two data pads! Well, we'll hack those once we're "in a safe place."

Tracking all of the charges and batteries is killing me! Hopefully we can get them all charged and distributed soon.

There was a quick release sheath? Someone wanted that, right? It can be used basically by any of us in armor, but I don't particularly need it.

Once we split money, I will likely purchase some infrared sensors though.

Can we feed things to a recycler instead of selling them to get UPB's at the normal sale ratio?

Can we feed things to a recycler instead of selling them to get UPB's at the normal sale ratio?

You mean get 10% in UPB's instead of credits?

Right. Might make a difference if/when we get a starship.

Why do I get the feeling that August prefers a recycler because it also disposes of evidence, not because UPBs are superior to credits.

That is grossly cynical.

Can we set the bar on fire on our way out?

I’m not sure I’m following you about selling “things” to a “recycler”.

What “things” are you talking about selling?

What’s a “recycler”?

Of course you can set fire to the bar on the way out.

Also, August found a large container of cleaning fluids under the bar when he bashed the till open.

Basically I'm asking if there's a way to turn gear back into UPB's since we can turn UPB's into gear.

Also: Loot Sheet!

I've also got a loot sheet copied to my HD just in case.

I haven't color coded but we can as we go if we want. Once more items get added in from additional books I'll change CRB pp. to Book/pp.

Abbreviations so far:

CRB - Core Rulebook
AA - Alien Archive
TPW - The Pact Worlds
FC - First Contact
DS# - Dead Suns (1,2,3,...)

Basically I'm asking if there's a way to turn gear back into UPB's since we can turn UPB's into gear.

You’d need an engineer or a mechanic for that. You could hire one to do it, but there will likely be a sizeable fee associated with it to make the transaction similar to the native exchange rate. In other words, no point in doing it because the vendors you’ll sell all but magical equipment to will price non-magic gear in UPB mode.

Magical gear can be sold at a higher exchange rate, if you’d like. That’s my interpretation.

I added "claimed" on a couple things, but only signifying I am carrying them. The data-pads and a healing serum. I don't actually need any of the other weapons and stuff.

Hey I am an engineer!

I think I might have missed it, what type of armor did the vesk have? And is there any difficulty in resizing/shaping armor to fit other races?

The Troop Ceremonial Plate

It's on the loot sheet!

Adjusting the size of suits of armour is pretty easy using UPBs. Again, you’d need a mechanic or an engineer for that - most dealers would have someone who could do that for you as well, for a small fee.

Is the lift ride long enough to take a short rest and recover SP?

Not enough time. It only takes about 5 minutes.

Ah, somehow I missed it. We can send the troop ceremonial plate to the recycler though, it's not any more protective than my current armor, and I can't even use it until we hit level 3.

You can use gear with a level higher than your own if you acquire it from an adventure. The levels are there for guidance on what you are able to purchase--you can normally only purchase gear up to one level higher than your own.

Which is why I wouldn't say no to an elite gyrojet pistol, even if gyrojet pistols are hideously impractical in real life.
