Does the Tower's Last Stand count the square for the combat encounter?

@Ebonfist: Thank you for the aid token!

Does anyone else need the token? My table will use it shortly so I'll pass it along to anyone else who is in particular need at the moment.

I'm going to drop the aid token off at GM Eclipse's table. Looks like you haven't received a token yet.

Message sent on discord for further clarification.

DragonElvish or Eclipse, I'd like to request either of you to pass an aid token to my table please?

My players are currently on their seventh mission and with no 8-hour rest yet during this special, their SP/HP/RP (and spell slot) resources are running low so an aid token would help.

I can pass it right back to your table immediately if needed. Thanks!!

PM sent as well to help you out Bigboom

Thank you! But haven't seen a PM come through yet. Can you resend (or hit me up on discord)?

Sorry, meant I sent a PM on Discord to DragonElvish about pushing your table an aid token.

Just got the token from DragonElvish - thank you! My table is likely to use it soon so I'll have it available to pass on. Anyone in particular want the aid token?

My table is still working on Scout Hunt and this is almost certainly about to happen -

If the jinsul ship ends a piloting phase more than 30 hexes away from
the PCs’ ship, it can attempt to hide among the swirling colors of
the Drift as a pilot stunt, using the same DC as evading. If it succeeds, the PCs’ gunners can target it only if the PCs’ ship closes within 20 hexes and a science officer PC succeeds at scanning the jinsul ship.

Does it STOP and hide, meaning the Starfinder ship has a chance to catch up or does it continue RUNNING and hide, meaning that, if the Starfinder ship is slower than it in all circumstances it effectively gets away as soon as it successfully hides?

I assume they move and hide as their tactics are about moving as far away from the PCs each turn as they can.

That said, I also assume they need to make the hide/evade check each turn.
There is also the text that says: If the jinsul ship remains concealed for three consecutive rounds, it escapes completely, and the PCs fail this mission.

If the pilot is going to hide, that would be their stunt for the turn so they could not use the full power stunt.

Which does lead to the follo-wup question. At tier 7 *can* the jinsul pilot try full-power? Everyone from level 6 gets a free RP to spend on starship combat. Does that include NPCs?

Most NPC's don't have RP. There are a few that do but they are very rare.

Seeing as that is about to happen to your table, I'm passing the aid token on to your table!

Tyranius: With part 3 about a day away and scout mission completion short by two missions, is it safe to say the 8 hour rest won't be incoming? I ask because my table is just about to finish their 8th mission and resources are depleted. So if they're not going to get an 8 hour rest, I'd like to break it to them so they're at least mentally prepared going into part 3 and 4.

Ebonfist or Eclipse: Can either of you pass an aid token back to me again please (preferably with first aid boosted if possible)? In case there is no 8 hour rest incoming, my intent is to roll them into their 8th mission right now so that they can at least use another aid token heal before part 3 kicks off. Thank you!

It still has a chance to go off. We still have a day and a half for those to report in and we have tables near completion for them.

We just completed Scout Hunt at my table, which is the last success needed for that one.

Just Ground Force Intel left.

Also, the aid token is back to you, bigboom.

Also, the aid token is back to you, bigboom.

Thank you!!

Closed all of Part 1 at the 11th hour!

We begin our transition into Part 3. Have your tables vote quickly.

Yay! I'm so relieved for my players. Thank you!

My table (DragonElvish on RfC) is 3 for Fitch versus 1 for Bestiar-5.

Helping Master of Stars is what my table voted so far.

My table will vote to save Fitch, 3 already went that way so the other two wouldn’t be able to sway it.

Aethernaut, I've passed the token to your table. Note also that it is currently boosted with Remote Assistance.

I've also posted this aid token in your discord OOC channel. Good luck!

Aerondor and Zoomba, I'll be travelling out of town again in a couple weeks. Can I request backup assistance from either one of you from March 31 to April 3?

I've posted the backup request in the Backup GM Calendar

I can do that, unless Zoomba wants it.

Thank you!!!

My pleasure. Just send me a reminder/re-add me to the game at the right time.

My table may finish part 3 hopefully in the upcoming hours, before I recharge my batteries.

I may reading incorrectly the page 6, but Starfinder advantage, what it means outside of Starship encounter.

Each fleet provides air support for its allies in its location, perpetually granting them either covering fire for combat encounters or a +2 bonus to gunnery checks in locations with starship combat encounters.

Because the time draws nigh - I have one player who is out of subtier (a level 2 in a 3-4 session.) Does he get the 3-4 subtier money or the 1-2 subtier money?

He would get the out-of-level credit value. In this case it would be 1090 credits.

My pleasure. Just send me a reminder/re-add me to the game at the right time.

Hi GM Aerondor. I'm getting close to the time where I'll be looking for your help to fill in as a backup GM again. I've re-added you as active to the table. Will check in with you in the discussion thread there. Thanks!!

Cool. Ter 5-6 right? Is the jinsul advantage condition still in effect?

Routed Infantry and Starfinder Advantage conditions are currently in effect

Sending Aid Token to Trent's Table, gonna go post in Discord.

Thanks for the token, my table will put it to good use.

If anyone has a spare token, then Bigbooms table has accumulated quite a bit of damage and could benefit from a healing enhanced one...

Let's keep reporting those successes in. We are in the home stretch!

My table blasts some bolt to bring the herald mission to an end.
Should I suppose I should not begin Perimeter?

Passed aid to bigboom, unboosted

@Dragonvan- You likely wouldn't have time to finish it as this will come to an end in 2-3 days or when 1 more success comes reported in.

Used, passing aid token to Dragonvan. Use it wisely!

Hopefully, my table will use it, because they are at the Initiative roll.

Great job everyone! That is our conclusion. Thank you again for all of your hard work that each of you has put into this. Without you guys we couldn't make this happen.

Quick reminder on chronicles. The players earn all boons except the Slayer of Godspawn boon, which can be obtained only by players at Subtiers 9–10 and 11–12.

Below is a quick link to the reporting form. I will be catching up on reporting games in this afternoon.
