Sorry guys, the DNS server went down at work the other day, so it's been crazy. Updates coming today.

I will be unavailable the rest of the day and weekend and likely posting again at some point on Monday, please Bot me as necessary. Thanks.

I hope everyone is doing okay.

Well, looks like you guys just took an interesting turn. Sorry for the delay, my boss's position was eliminated and his last day was Monday. We've kind of been feeling our way in the dark with how to handle a few things that he had always dealt with.

Update coming soon.

Sitting here twiddling thumbs.

Sorry for the delay, I'm having some trouble deciding how to handle this. I'm not sure I see a good way through that doesn't involve lots of violence.

Yeah...when I designed the villa, I thought to myself, "Likar Molch is the kind of person who'd receive everyone in his throne room." So, the only way to his quarters is the throne room.

It made sense at the time, especially since I didn't think you'd split the party.

I didn't think we would either, damn Jedi and their quests...

Bwhaaa haaa

Yeah, no, it's totally reasonable, and if I was any other character I'd be like, "He's alone in the Throne room? F~%* it, let's take him out." But that's obviously not... what NT-2B would do.

So glad I decided to take Fialla to the hanger.

Jeren kinda misses the good old days when he could just grab his lightsaber and cut through pesky droids at the moment... :-P

I am currently without a computer and will be for several days. I will try to make do with the tablet or the phone but seeing as those are less than ideal for posting feel free to DMPC Jeren as needed.

I will be traveling this weekend (Memorial Day in the US). I will post as best as I am able.

Is this game dead?

I was trying to give NT-2B the chance to respond to Jace and Jeren's questions about the schematics. I'll bot him this evening if he hasn't.

Oh, I didn't realise we were waiting on me. Apologies, I'll get a post in now.

Another hold up?

I was waiting to see if anyone else would post anything in regards to the rendezvous. I'll move it along mid-day today.

Yep, sometimes players are just waiting for the DM while the DM is waiting or the players, happen to me at least once a week in the games I run. :-)

Sorry, weekends are about the only time I can get some serious gaming in, and I just got the Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4.

I thought that we were going to try and get the items not waiting for everyone to get there so that we could leave again??? We did a more than a month for that?

I will admit you kinda lost me.

As far as I can tell we were supposed to go to either the hangar or the front door (probably the hangar given NT-2B's suggestion) to investigate for a secret path of sorts to the stash. We did not actually have to wait for the others to come as well to get this done, but I was under the impression they were coming to lend a hand, not fetch us so that we can all leave. If that were the case, I am assuming Jace, Jeren and NT-2B would have gone to the hangar without simply waiting around in the... well, waiting room for the others to arrive as well. They were actually no longer in the waiting room, having left after the impasse with Molch's droid and we're going to follow on NT-2B's calculations.

Of course, not all tasks and quests succeed (you win some, you lose some), I realize that, but I am a bit confused as to what happened. Still, I will go with what the majority wants, but we were quite close to the items (I think anyway).

Nevertheless, even if we do indeed leave (we do after all have a deadline of sorts with that guy on that other planet; both names escape me now), I can use this failure with Jeren's growth as a character. Perhaps things would have gone differently if he had revealed himself as well, perhaps it would have added more weight to Jace's claims about the importance of those items, could it be partly his fault that they failed, should he have done something differently, etc. That sort of thing. :-)

Jarl is coming to help you guys get what you came for, he's committed now!

I thought they were coming to help as well.

Daaneth and Vessani both made posts suggesting that they would rather leave than collect the artifacts but came to help because after suggesting it several times over comms, no one was budging. Given that the first thing Jeren said when we got back together was to return to the hangers, it shouldn't be surprising that either of our PC's said what they did. Just because my PC holds an opinion doesn't mean he can't be convinced otherwise.

What he said. Vessani actually thought you all had changed your minds when Jeren said to head towards the hanger. Otherwise he would have reluctantly decided to help this caper along, if only to get out of here sooner.

Ah, now I see. This does clarify things. I kinda expected NT-2B to elaborate a bit, which is why I had Jeren look pointedly at him/it when he mentioned the hangar.

I thought jeren wanted to leave as well.

Nope. Jeren wanted to go the hangar because that is where NT-2B thinks the most probable place for a hidden entrance is. He will not be pressing the matter if everyone else wants to leave, but he would prefer it if the artifacts are... liberated.

I got lost there, too, for a bit. I'm moving on to the Hangar. We've come this far, may as well just do it. And since no one has told NT-2B otherwise, he's going searching for a secret entrance.

Update coming later today. Work picked up a bit recently.

FYI I will be teaching two summer school sessions starting tomorrow and for the next 3 weeks. I will try to keep up as much as possible but wont have much time to post during the day.

So, I'll post a reminder about this when it gets closer but I figured the earlier I give a heads up the better.

From August 1st to August 8th I'll be out camping. My phone will be with me but since we'll be in the mountains I don't know what kind of service I'll have, and I will also have no way of charging it, so if I am able to get online in the evenings it will likely be just for the first couple days of the week.

Don't kill your battery on posting, you may need your phone in an emergency. I'll bot you as needed.

Everyone is level 3 now.

I'm going to give incremental BAB a stab, so use your total combined levels of 3/4 BAB class to determine your BAB.

Cool!

I was going to go into the Independent Droid prestige class at 3rd, but since we haven't really set it up yet in the context of the fiction, I'm pretty likely to push it back and go further into Scoundrel first.

I need to look into Feats and see what's useful for me, so it might be a couple of days before I'm updated.

Not sure if I'll be using a prestige class or not. Will give my books a look through when I get home. How exactly does the incrimental BAB work?

How exactly does the incrimental BAB work?

Basically 3/4th BAB progression is ordinarily 0, +1, +2, +3, +3, +4, etc. Which is fine except if you multiclass, because of the breakpoints. Eg: As Noble 1 / Scoundrel 1, my BAB is actually 0, because it's +0 from each of them.

With Incremental, each level is actually treated as 0.75, which means that as Noble 1 / Scoundrel 1, I'll actually have 1.5, which rounds down to 1.

If I went for Level 3 into the prestige class, I'd ordinarily have BAB of 0 still, because 0 from Noble, 0 from Scoundrel, 0 from Independent Droid. With Incremental, I'd have +0.75 from each, which would be 2.25, so I'd actually have a BAB of +2. Which is much more reasonable for a Level 3 character than having +0.

tldr; it makes the penalties for multiclassing less hurtful.

Ah, so it's like the fractional rules in the Pathfinder Unchaindd book. Love those rules.

For my talent I am wondering if getting a counselor talent, like aiding another, battle meditation or a lightsaber one would be better

We roll for health, right?

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Got everything done for the level up, got to work and realized I forgot to pick a talent.

Here be the hit points roll. The rest of the level up will follow in another post.

Hit Points: 1d10 ⇒ 6

1d20 ⇒ 2 hp

Jace, you should probably roll again. That is a d20 you rolled there.

oh lol, that might make a difference, lol
1d10 ⇒ 5

Been looking at what I'm wanting to do with Vessani. I'm gonna go with the Gunslinger prestige class, and was thinking, should I go for a two-blaster build? Also, how often are we gonna be in a space battle? I'm caught between getting Dual Weapon Master I or Weapon Proficiency (Heavy Weapons) as my 3rd level feat.

I took the Deflect talent and added force powers to my suite:
pushing slash, force disarm, force stun,and rebuke

Took the Improved Initiative talent, allowing me to reroll an initiative roll. Still trying to figure out which feat to go with.
