The Long Night Ends (A Traveller T20 Game) (Inactive)

Game Master mdt

Four hundred and fifty plus years is a long time for a colony to be isolated. A lot of funny things happen to people when they are isolated from the rest of humanity for that long. What will become of these people?

I thought you had a whole crew for your scout ship? A four man mylthani crew would take up the life support of two humans.

You are on tight beam to the probe. The probe can't transmit to the other side of the wormhole without going through it, and you moved the probe away from the warp point, so it can't go through it.

Yes, they scanned the probe, however, they broadcast directly toward your scout ship, so they obviously know where you are with a good degree of accuracy. Enough so a heavy broadcast in your area caught you in it's beam.

lot of confusion here, I thought the probe could transmit, Ok ill say we have four on the ship, just because its posted. They beamed to us so they know where we are. Talk to talk to the nut jobs.

If you want to recruit more players, I'm fine with that. Just let me know. Unfortunately, I don't think the sticky recruitment thread would work for this. So it would need to be in the regular recruitment area.

Yeah, I just think we managed to split the party a bit untactically : )

But! As always, while you are not present IC you are more then welcome to make OOC suggestions and statements and we will try and adapt

I'm waiting for you two to react to my recorded message. If you want to fast-forward to you docking and us discussing things in the Gazer. Let me know, I can post that too.

cheers

Hello!

Sorry for my silence, was/is physically and mentally exhausted after scrubbing (and polishing and dusting and mending ect) every inch of my old apartment.

I shall endeavour to catch up today or tomorrow, but feel free to have Cat follow whomevers lead that makes most sense.

Sorry!

I'm fishing for the GM to give as much information as we can get before we must speak to the NPCs.

Any suggestions from the PCs about how to approach the NPCs would be appreciated.

cheers

Hopefully/probably soon, but don't wait up for me : )

We can't take the Stargazer? I thought you described an enormous ship.

Any result of the psychic stuff?

They broke the big ship up into a dozen dreadnought sized ships, so there's no room for Stargazer to enter the dreadnoughts. The biggest landing bay would be 500 tons.

My best wishes and I hope stuff works out!
_______________________________________________

On another topic, my new american cell-plan comes with free internet which, for some reason, doesn't let me access any secure sites (like logging in on paizo. Probably something to do with switching sims and/or some sort of date error. I'll figure it out). However turning the phone into a hotspot works fine, if a bit chunky.

So what I'm saying is: I've got internet again and will try to catch up and so again : )

(But maybe not until tomorrow when I have an actual apartment to live in :P)

Before I post in Gameplay, I would like help remembering who we represent. I think we're the Alliance of Telthani, Mylthani and another place, but can't remember exactly.

Also I'm my phone, so it's hard to search the posts.

Basically I want to be accurate about who we are scouting for assuming it's standard protocol to reveal that information.

Thanks

EDIT. Could you link or spoiler the answers in the campaign info tab too?

But it might be most logical if Cat stays behind with Ynja (and then the other two gets to play !^^). Or do you want her with you?

I'm leaning toward going to trial. Any opinion against?

cheers


Engineer | Stamina 26/26 | Lifeblood 9/9 | AC 17/13/14 | CMD 17 | Ref +5 Fort +1 Will +9 | Init +3 | Per +13

It seems like not going would involve alot of running, while trial would involve some fun interactions and 'minigames' (and then perhap alot of running, if stuff don't work out xD).

So I'm up for trial : )


Male Lysandran 1 Noble 1 Merchant 2 Rogue* [Stamina 27/27 | Lifeblood 13/13 | AC: 19 | T: 13 | FF: 16 | Fort: 2 | Ref: 6 | Will: 4 | Init: +3 | Per: 8 | Stealth: 10 | Bluff: 10 | Dip.: 10 | Sense Motive: 8] [Inspired 1/1]

From a player standpoint, the trial seems like the way to go, both to advance the story and from just a curiosity standpoint.

As a character, Ivan thinks it would be your head on the block, and that he could probably talk his way out of an execution or imprisonment. So he's all for it too.

Can we send a probe back to Pantry and the other ship with a recording?

How far away in days would a probe departing where we are return home in days?

How much consumables do we have on the ship? Meaning, can we return without the supply ships?

cheers

You just resupplied, so you have enough to go home, if you don't dawdle and go straight back.

They will allow you to send a probe back to contact your HQ. The probe would take about 3 weeks to get to the cargo ship, and the cargo ship would need about 2 months to get back to your main base.

There are questions about particulars, like if we'll have access, to non-weapon, non-electornic equipment, how/where can we obtain food and a living space, access to necessary medical supplies, and how to handle things like the Mylthani's odd diet.

But all of that can probably be handwaved.

Some kind of briefing about their laws and what would be socially inappropriate might be a good idea, for the rest of the crew, I mean. Also some assurances that Ynja will be protected from the populace, at least until the trial.

OOC vote for planet. Much more fun potential :P

If I had to pick the smart choice (both in and out of character) then I would pick the space station. It seems like it would be easier to escape from if we had to.

Though I will say, the chance for some random shenanigans on the planet is rather appealing.
