Hooray!
WoooHooo!
Good to hear, man! I've been away for a few days myself. Looking forward to getting back into the action! :)
Honestly a little surprised that after everything that's happened, Dreamchaser didn't start interrogating Ardan about using Sith sorcery.
It hasn't occurred to him yet. Plus he was a bit busy when you vanished.
It has been a rough week, 14 fights in about 4 or 5 days and students have taken to vandalizing the school and teacher property.
But on the positive side, we are at almost 1200 posts :)
teenage testosterone, and being cooped up don't help.
But in other news. more posts to come. :)
Sorry, things just won't stay tamped down. Will probably post tomorrow morning.
I think next week things will get a bit slower compared to the last few months.

Where the heck do you teach again?
That's a LOT of fights in 1 week!
Sounds like when I went to high school. I think in my senior year there was a fight every day for the first month or so. Hopefully, your fighting dies down before then.
Not a lot of fights at my high school, but I was physically beaten every day of middle school, so fun times.
Never expected to have to be dodging furniture on the starship. . I figured everything was bolted down. :)
I am in Albuquerque. The excuse being given is that they have not been in school for a year and a half. Ya, that's a reason....

Who said it wasn't bolted down?
I loot the room, taking anything that's not nailed down. And anything I can pry up... isn't nailed down.
All that is left is the wrapper of the medpac that was used to heal you ")
The good news is that I have a pretty free weekend other than taking my cat to the vet in about 2 hours so I should be able to post a bit more this weekend.
I'm a bit confused, I thought we were hyperspace jumping to Alderaan. How did we get aboard the Resurgence?
You were re-routed, I think I put that in the game play thread a few weeks ago.

A few days into the journey as you exit hyperspace but before you begin to traverse the space ways in that medium the beep beep of the communication computer sounds. It is missive indicating that the Banshee is to make its way to another rendezvous point aboard the ship called the Resurgence.
From the Gameplay thread
Thank you, missed that.
Will we have an opportunity to get new gear? Will the Rebellion supply us with new gear? Some of us have nothing after the prison break. :)
There us no rebellion yet but go ahead and go shopping.
Proto-Rebellion. Whatever. ;)
Since we're now back in "civilization" and can do shopping, Ardan has access to his Wealth trait.
For rescuing him, he shows his gratitude by giving each member of the team 1,000 credits. Enjoy!
In addition, Ardan has the Connections trait, which allows him to purchase most restricted goods without worrying about licensing, so if there's something you want...
Very nice!
Sweet!! Thanks, Ardan!
Quen Pah, do the 'prisoners' get anything by way of reward as well? Just trying to figure out how much Sebbik has to spend on stuff - since he's pretty much just got the clothes on his back! :)
I would say you would get what the players who l3ft would have gotten.
I have everything I would have started with right? I have not bought a Blaster or anything else yet.
I did some shopping. I bought a sporting blaster because Liscensed seems easier to deal with then buying a restricted blaster.
But I have two questions. First, what do I pay for the Liscence?
Second, it is Accurate which indicated it took no penalties in the first range increment. Does that include non-proficiency penalties?
Licensing is always a percentage of the firearm.
Give me until tomorrow to dig up the numbers, unless someone else wants to dig them up.
License fee is 5% of the item’s cost. (For a sporting blaster, that’s 15 cr.)
Accurate doesn’t remove non-proficiency penalty, only range penalty. Jedi don’t use blasters unless you spend a feat for proficiency with them!
Thanks for the answers!
I am probably not going to ever be proficient with the blaster, but I am currently in hiding so the lightsaber will not always be a wise option and my Consular powers need work before I can use them all the time.
Maybe this little smurf will brighten people's days.
If everyone chips in, it will be for med packs, cables, harnesses, patches, for anyone in the party to use.
The initial 500 was synthrope, 2 harnesses, mesh tape and a few other things.
The additional money would be used to grab food, fuel, spare parts along with additional medpacs and surgery stuff for healing.
I have 400 I can put in once we gather and plan out our purchases. That gives me a few credits for food and stuff later.
I'll just front another 500 for expenses, don't sweat it.
Also, just to add to the fun, when you get licensed gear, you have to actually go through the hoops to get the license, which is a DC 10 Knowledge (Bureaucracy) check that takes 1 day. If you fail the check, your application for a permit is denied and you lose the fee, though you can try again. You can't take 10 or 20 on this check. You can use Persuasion instead if you try to bribe someone (but that may be more expensive) or Deception if you steal someone else's identity. This is harder and more expensive if the item isn't just Licensed but is actually Restricted, Military, or Illegal, as described under Restricted Items.
As usual, since I have the Connections talent, I can get anything that costs 3,000 cr or less without needing to get a license, even if it's restricted, military, or even illegal.
If you get a permit, this does leave a data trail. Imperial authorities can figure out that you purchased something in a particular place. Another good reason to have Ardan get things for you through connections—they're not traceable.
I will be throwing 500 in once I am done my purchases as well.
So that is 4 of 6 that are putting money in the kitty.
Once we have the total, I guess we will have to figure out what we are getting with it.
When I inevitably upgrade to a heavy blaster I will ask Ardan for help.
@ GM, I think we are going on the Assumption that those we pulled out of the prison are going to get the remainder of the cash in leu of those that dropped the game.
The math is still the same of them getting 1900 and change (See Gameplay for exact amount)
That is how I was figuring it, they paid for x amount of people, I don't think that they care that they are not the original group.
I'll toss in 500cr for team purchases.
So going with the majority, we can assume that most will provide 500.
Waylan can just put the remaining 100 in later.
That will give us an initial fund of 2900 Cr for the party.
We currently have for the party:
Multi Tool - 100
Shock Baton with Energy Cell 25
Synthrope 20
Mesh Tape 5
2 x Climbing Harnesses - 90
6 Power Packs 150
10 Power Cells 100
Total 490 of the initial 500 advance.
Thinking of more first aid and healing supplies and then we can figure other stuff.
Also remember that someone has to carry all of this stuff! For instance, Ardan carries a medpac, because he can use it to treat injuries, but a full-on Medical Kit, like the kind that you need to Revive a dying character, is backpack-sized and weighs 20 kilos.
Nice! So I'm seeing 1966cr as the reward, subtracting 500 from that leaves 1466, and adding another 1000cr for Ardan's generous offer leaves Sebbik with 2466 credits to spend, if I've got that right.
I'm thinking a speeder bike as well, maybe he'll get to use his Pilot skills after all! And it sounds like that Connections ability makes it so we can choose military, restricted and illegal equipment, but we do NOT need to spend credits on those license fees, correct? Thanks!
That list is already in the cargo hold.
Any thing else, like a Medical Kit, I was looking at using to stock a room as an infirmary. The first aid can keep someone alive until we get them to the ship.
Yes, a Bacta tank would be best, but we cannot afford that right now.
We still have to hash out what we are going to get with the party funds.
Maybe some explosives? It's nice to be able to make a big boom sometimes to cover your exit.
And really, who doesn't want to have a thermal detonator in your utility belt?
I will through a list together over the next day or two for everyone to look at.
I have had several characters run around with different levels of bombs. It can be a lot of fun. My favorite is still the explosive watch from Spycraft. Although a bag of dynamite in Deadlands can go some wacky fun places.
