Looks like we are going to need to be extra sneaky to get 2 people who are up, to carry 2 out cold people to our ship.
Not trained, so could not even hit the 25 even if I rolled a 20 and the chance of that, is really bad with the way the dice roller hates me.
1000+ Game thread posts :)
Teachers go back to school tomorrow and kids on the 11th :(
Here's Phineas, I'll dot the campaign thread next.
FYI, I will be on vacation from Friday through Monday with zero access to the internet, wifi sucks up at the Lake ;-(
What gear did the group purchase before they came to Felucia?
What gear did the group purchase before they came to Felucia?
Equipment:
3000 License Fees
Vibroblade 250 12.5
Blaster Pistol 500 50
Blaster Rifle Light repeating 1200 240
Blast Helmet and Vest 500
Comlink short range 25
Medpac 100
All temperature cloak 100
Total Cost 2977.5
I had:
comlink (short range), standard datapad, holster (concealed), 6 sets of luxury clothing, medpack, sporting blaster, survival knife; 2,400 credits
Note that due to the Connections talent, Ardan doesn't need to pay license fees.
Here is what the party bought before starting the mission
So more power cells and energy cells.
Explosives are out, as the cheapest I could find, was 200 Cr for essentially 1 hand grenade.
other than that, the better stuff is 500 or 1000 Cr, not counting timeers.
Thermal detonators are 800.
So the list now sits at
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.
Does this work for the party ??
We could just get that starting gear as a "gift" from Bail Organa, assuming we get out of here alive!
The original group was given money to buy equipment that they thought they would need for this particular mission.
I just posted the original equipment list that was purchased with an advance from Bail Organa.
I saw that.
Okay, I'm at one step above Unconscious, which is a -10 to everything. But I can use the Recover action (three swift actions) to improve one step. Am I limited to just improving one step? Or can I Recover, then Recover again, and Recover again as I'm being pulled through the ventilation ducts?
I would say that if you weren't fleeing you would be able to do all 3 but since the group is in a hasty retreat you can do 1.
I have to go to the doctor today and there's a chance I'll wind up in surgery. If so, I may be out for a few days (assuming I survive, of course, there's always the tiny chance of something going wrong).
Take care!
good luck.
Hope all goes well!
Good luck man!
Sorry yesterday was the first day of school back with students, It was craazy!
Uuugh, one of my classes has been exposed to COVID, by the 3rd day of school!
We are also down 13 teachers in a school of 2300+ high school students. So ya, fun.
Sounds pretty crazy. I go into high schools to do presentations. I am waiting to see if any of the local high schools actually let people in to meet with classes.
One local district was saying they may need to re-initialize some version of online again just because of how many people are in quarantine because they had a class with someone who came down with COVID.
the good thing is that we will not so hybrid. It is either virtual or face to face. Hybrid was too much.
I have taken a few college hybrid classes. They were not my favorite.
I learn better in FTF. That way if I don't understand something, I can ask and get the answer right there.
My son, could not do the online (would spend to long farting around on the net). But was unable to attend school due to lockdowns. So he got screwed out of a year.
Been really backed up with work since I go back from vacation, will try and post at some point this week.
Thanks for your understanding.
I'll bet anyone (but the GM) two bottlecaps that the red saber is Vader.
I figure that the red sabre is an inquisitor.
If we are running into Vader, we are so hooped.
Technically since Sebbik wasn't with the group that entered, he wouldn't know about escape plans. But as a player... if you all have short range communications with the ship (and assuming they've finished repairs), you could signal them to come pick us up so we don't have to make the trek all the way back. Figuring they could use our signal to find us - but barring that maybe someone has a signal gun or the like?
In any case, sounds like we're going out through the same grate the party busted in through. We'll just have to make a run for cover once we get out in the open.
We do have comms, but with the party size initially,
we did not have a crew on the ship.
Otherwise we would have had it come by to meet us on the ground outside the prison.
Unless the GM retconns it, there is currently 0 people on the ship. :(
Ah! Got it, yeah splitting the party in this situation makes sense from a strategic point of view, but the main problem with doing so is that it'd be boring for those remaining behind, and you wind up with a very small party breaking into the prison.
Anybody notice any ships or other vehicles coming into the prison? A walker, or a hovercraft or something similar?
There was a walker moving in the distance, but I don't know what type it was. I have a habit of rolling horribly on these boards. :(
I don't mind if the droid programmed the ship to come and get you when it was called.
I am up to 13 students having to quarantine as of a few moments ago. So far 3 cases of the virus that I am aware of,
Jeez! Be careful, man! I'm so damn tired of this whole COVID thing. Can't even imagine what it's like to be in your shoes facing down an entire classroom of kids every day...
I have enough headaches with mine. I don't even want to think of what they put teachers through. :(
Good Luck, and stay safe.
Class sizes are about 30 kids. It is a mess.
Damn.
3 cases so far in the school and I have like 40 kids in quarantine. I should be back this weekend.
Ready to continue, the first weeks at school were nuts. We have at least 3 cases. I have about 40 kids in quarantine.
Looks like I owe someone two bottlecaps!
It is getting bad. The kids don't care about the masks, so many are coming without them or are walking around with them below their noses and getting mad at teachers who are enforcing the school and state mandate.
Which state?
All of them?
NM
No, not all of them, but enough. It seems like Admin is not enforcing it, they are never out in the halls during passing period,.
I work at a college that started registration with no mask mandate and then instated one later. We start tomorrow. Hopefully, people just roll with it.
I went to the grocery store this afternoon. About 20% were not wearing masks or had them on wrong. This is not good.
Here in Alberta, CA. the masks are optional, and only about 20% are opting.
Our top health authority is stating that we should start looking at it like a bad cold with some provisions with health care if admitted to hospital.
Even with a 80%+ vaccinated rate, we are looking at 20%+ of those that have got covid. So to me it seems that the experimental gene therapy vaccines are not really working.

Down here in the U.S. we're looking at the total collapse of several states' hospital systems, as they're overwhelmed with patients due to people refusing to get vaccinated. The new Delta variant seems to be getting a good number of breakthrough infections, though the vaccine turns what could be fatal into a mostly inconvenient minor illness in most such cases. (I do know of a case personally of someone who was vaccinated and died from a breakthrough case, but only one.)
Our big problem at this point is just that the nutty holdouts who refuse to get the virus mean that it keeps infecting the unvaccinated, and even those who don't die from it wind up in the ICU and as a result our hospitals are overwhelmed and people with other urgent care needs (heart attack, car accident, whatever) can't be treated because there's no room. Plus of course there's those who have long-term symptoms, the "long haulers" or those who suffer pulmonary damage or the odd neurological symptoms that are cropping up, which means that they're just living a poor quality of life and sometimes need lots of follow-up medical care.
The vaccine is doing its work though, the overwhelming majority of cases (like in the 90+% range) in the U.S. now are people who refused to get vaccinated, and states with high vaccination rates (like California) also show a strong slowdown in the spread of the virus.
One of the really crappy parts is that unvaccinated resistance to COVID-19 after you've had it only lasts 3 to 10 months, which means that now some people are getting infected two or three times. This of course means they're just incubators for making new variants of the virus. But vaccine uptake is now a political issue here so there's some percentage of people who will just never get vaccinated no matter how urgent the crisis is, and they're putting all of the rest of us at risk.
