SFS 1-03 Yesteryear's Truth: Outpost II (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

Apologies for my small absence there. Life got busy (last semester of my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering). As a heads up I may be busy for a few more days, but I'll still try to post. Bot me if needed, though. No need to wait around for me to possibly have time to post.

No worries, real life happens

Thanks for letting us know though.

And just as a heads up for everyone;

this Saturday I'll be all day at a small local con so I don't expect to be able to update then.

if I just pursue this thing at speed our rear shields are going to get hammered by the drones.

I can pull away and present front shields to the drones or I can keep flying after the platform.

I am not sure, but I think those drones have a range like our lasers (short - 5 hexes). And as we move as the last this round we should try to move as far as we can from them to make them shoot with a penalty.
The second thing is that our left shield has the highest amount of protection (only 3 dmg so still 7 left). so you can try to turn to present it for shooting ;).

I'll be at a local con this weekend so I most likely won't be able to post till late on Sunday.

I think you guys got the hang of this combat now and have the advantage. If nobody objects I suggest we call the combat and fast forward to you guys winning after this round so that we can continue with the rest of the scenario after the weekend.

Of course is someone wants to play it out till the end we'll do that but I think it might be nice to get to do something other then space combat for a change ;)

I mean, I have to roll a 1 for us to not regen the 7 SP a turn, so my course of action is just to replenish the shield quadrants that need it the most, and if we were took a critical and had a subsystem glitching, I'd look to repair it.

I'm good with running the new few turns as if we were being botted - just let the dice roller do it's thing, and that way everything is above board.

Yeah, I am fine with us declaring a victory in this space combat ;)

Sounds good to me.

I'm good too. Also, I am on vacation and might get infrequent in my posting. Please not as needed!

Revvy is trying to trick us. I am sure that this map of dunes is for better visualization of that place and nothing will happen while we travel:P

However, I am fine with us discussing the formation in which we should be walking. I don't think that lightning bolt is very probable. But something like Sarlacc might ;)

I'll offset my walking by 5' to the south, that way if there is something with a line of effect, we can minimize the damage.

Revvy thanks for the feedback. And thanks for pointing out the feet misspelling. For some time in writing, I would write Bear instead of Beer which made some fairly amusing messages:

Hey, man lets go and grab some bears this evening :P

Now on the other note: 20 for the reflex save, you've got to be kidding.

On the other hand, it is better you throw 20 for a save than a 20 as a hit.

I'll have to agree with you on that one..critting with this creature against one of you would be...nasty. 2d6+14 would hurt a bit

Can I get some new "dice"? :'(

Can I get some new "dice"? :'(

Try playing on a different computer? ;)

I wanted to yell: "Rez keep the beast busy" :P but that somehow didn't fit my character. Yet I found it amusing that Rez runs away almost getting eaten while the whole team is shooting everywhere but not at the enemy ;)

Tactics mention going for the strongest looking PC first ..now is strongest looking a bit debatable..but seeing how Rez is the only lvl 3 and has actually damaged the creature twice I'd say he qualifies over everyone else who's just shooting at the ground for now ;)

I'm back! Sorry for the afk; should be active again.

Welcome back, I hope you had a nice holiday.

Sorry, was out sick the past three days. Jumping back in.

A hearty apology. I appear to have come down with the flu (or a REALLY bad cold). It didn't give me any warning, so I was bedridden the entire weekend, there. Took all my effort to finish my assignments, so didn't have time to post here.

Revvy just for the record:
Pan activating the device

Revvy just for the record:

Pan activating the device

Right. It made sense that you would have done it..I just couldn't remember it actually being activated.

And glad to see both Nole and Yvaine are feeling better again.

No need to apologize, sickness happens sometimes. But I do appreciate you letting us know.

Yeah, I am glad that you are both back.

BTW, a weird idea came to my mind, what if the aliens are happy as they are planning to eat us :D If the celebration moves to the pool of warmed water doesn't go in :P

I will start getting worried when our translating device start speaking something like: "Yum, yum", "meat", "the big one looks juicy"

For the next 3 days, I will be away. So I will be able to check the games on my phone only. That can diminish the quality of my posts and potentially length of them. For which I am sorry.

Thanks for letting us know

Lol I had considered the same thing re: the aliens. They're suspiciously friendly.

My parents will be in town this weekend, so a lot of my time will be spent with them. On top of that, I'll be GMing the entirety of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament from 8am to 10pm Friday at a local con, so I will very likely be unable to post Friday, and the possibility of posting Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are still up in the air. In my Player games, please bot where necessary. In my GM games, thank you for your continued patience. I REALLY hope everything goes back to normal come Tuesday.

Thanks for letting us know and enjoy your weekend.

Hi,

Could everyone check if the reporting info I have for you is correct

Also if someone has a dayjob/profession check could you roll that as well so that all info for your chronicles is ready for when I start makeing those.

And since this is part of Outpost II everyone has a chance to win a player boon.
As a check to see who's still around you can all roll your own D20
on a 19-20 you win a boon and you need to roll a 1d2 to see which of 2 options you've won.
If you happen to win one of the boons you also need to PM me the email address you want to have the boon mailed to.

GM Zebeev - Rez Cleftear - Acquisitives - 262447-701
GM-Mg - Pan Randiridon - Wayfinders - 203433-701
Sir rogue - Yvain Kyusari - Wayfinders - 134484-701
XHums - Nole Musk - Acquisitives - 295369-701
Farol - D'Vost - ExoGuardians -2359780-704
Adrian Ng - Baxter Bumble - Wayfinders - 258889-702

Revvy,

Yeah, the data is fine. Below is the profession roll

Profession tracker: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

And below is the roll for the boon:

Boon, the boon, the boon is on fire: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Awesome rolls, at least I will hit 20's during fights.

Btw. I am still around, excited to play this scenario

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 9
No boon.

Info looks good, though the base account name is just zebeev.

Looks good, although the account is GM_MG with an underscore.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Dayjob (Prof Electrician): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 13

;(

My info looks good, thanks!

Boonify me cap'n: 1d20 ⇒ 7 Or not.

Info looks good to me!

My username is SirRogue, with no space, but I don't think that matters. Otherwise the info is correct.

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 9 Nope.

Thanks for running. This was definitely educational. I hope to be better prepared for my next game. Great playing with you all!

Agreed, it's been fun and educational! Thanks for the game GM!

Thanks for running!

Thanks, GM, this was really fun.

Thanks, Revvy for running this game. I enjoyed it a lot!

Thanks, everyone, for the fun game! And thank you for running, Revvy! :)

I'm trying something new with how I'm getting chronicles out

If it works like I think it does you can find your chronicle

Here

If it doesn't I need to send out individual links after all or come up with something else.

Please check to see if your chronicle look alright - I've been known to make copy&paste mistakes in the past once or twice - or let me know that you can't get to it at all ;)

If something is wrong and needs to be fixed let me know and I'll do my best to correct it.

I'll leave the thread up till next week so you guys can let me know if something needs changing and after that I'll close it so it will be gone from your active thread list.

Thanks for playing. Glad to see you all had fun.

All looks good on my end! Thanks for running again!

Everything looks good Revvy, thanks!

For those of you that already downloaded your chronicle - I did make a mistake - I overlooked that everyone also earns 1 reputation with the Wayfinders faction because they are impressed with your work.

I've updated your chronicles so you should be able to just download the latest version (or if you printed it out already in order to save paper you can add Wayfinder Reputation +1).

Sorry about that.

OH shoot. I'm sorry. Nole does have a dayjob. Profession (Salesman): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Thanks again! Everything else looks good.

I've updated Nole's chronicle with the added Dayjob

Hey Revvy, my chronicle looks good, but in organized play, I can see only reputation to Exo-Guardians and not for Wayfinders. Have you reported back the updated chronicles?

Due to how the online reporting works on this site you can only report for 1 faction (and only 0, 1 or 2 so you can't even enter 3 total for Wayfinders either) ...so the online tracking isn't all that accurate.
