Uchurtai has a cycle. Assuming it's nearby, perhaps back at Murrk and Qesch's encampment. That's another racer.
The race idea sounds fun!
I played a Society adventure where the PC's had to help a racer. Other than directly Piloting the craft, PC's could assist using remotes to activate weapons, tweak onboard settings to maximise performance and the like.
There were also pre-race things like tweaking the craft, sabotaging opponents or intimidate/Diplomacy with the other racers to gain info/alliances/advantages.
Some or none may be relevant, but might help us nut out something suitable for our little game.
I will check the rules for vehicle chases later tonight.
Go ahead and keep role-playing this out. Make a firm proposal to Bomguzzle and Asashla.
Meanwhile I'll brew up something.
I'm going to assume at least four racers:
1. The Ikeshti team
2. Team Bomgozzle
3. Uchurtai on his cycle
4. Sen on her board
The stakes will be for control of the area where the wreck is.
Yay! That sounds fun. :)
Inspired!
This is going to be great. Working on a slide. There are rules for this already! We'll use slightly modified vehicle chase rules.
Sen: be sure your character is updated--you're level three now. Double check your piloting score. It's a class skill, so I bet it's higher than you currently have it listed.
Uchurtai: here's an option for you--feel free to move one of your skill points to piloting if you wish. I imagine you're out there to provide security for Sen, but you'll still want to be able to make some easy piloting rolls on your bike.
I imagine a medium creature could ride on the back of Uchurtai's cycle with him. I'll let you all figure that out. I'm open to creative ideas here, both during the race and in the lead up to it.
I have been working on a new slide for this.
Sounds fun! I'm open to helping with tech work before the race and/or riding on Uchurtai's bike to help during the race. If Zetara has interest and/or piloting skill, she might be a better choice to ride with Uchurtai.
Let's just not put Gath back there! XD
Hey! When Asashla starts throwing her weight around, you're going to wish I was back there! :-)
I should note that Vari-13 is also with you. Sadly, I got excited and forgot about them.
I’ll take you up on that offer! Janebok and Uchurtai sharing a cycle could be funny given their…differing worldviews.
I do have piloting (+9/+11 within Pact Worlds) if needed.
I just wanted to mention that I don't have an issue with sabotaging and trapping the track. I was initially going to post Locket assisting in doing so.
Then I thought on some of the values he has demonstrated (like preference for non-lethal in a number of situations) and that this race is like a challenge or contest of champions and that he would see that as an official/formal event with an even playing field, like a tournament.
Once things get underway is a different matter, any edge from preparations on vehicle, driver or technological tricks are just smart tactics to turn the course of battle.
This race is a fun idea, by the way. I am looking forward to it!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! We'll get the results of this first round nailed down later on. Early on it looks good for you!

Happy birthday, APZ!
Sometimes the best laid plans come crashing down. Behind the 8-ball a bit at work. I just don't want any of you to think I have forgotten you. I'm going to try to set up an exciting turn tomorrow.
All good! Us throwing a fun but very large wrench in the intended ending to the adventure makes sense that it would take some more time to write.
Also @Senk, love the song reference. I am hyped for Toxoids to come out.

Been getting ready for a big D&D day at the library where I work. This happens next Saturday, but I am writing two original adventures and printing lots of minis.
I should be able to make some posts tomorrow night.
Sorry about this.
No problemo.
That sounds fun. :) Hope it goes well, and we'll be here when you have time. No stress.

No worries, GMQ. We appreciate your work building the next generation of PC vict-- , players.

You are not forgotten.
I have been busy getting a big event that takes place tomorrow off the ground. I am writing original adventures for a special D&D day at the library where I work. I should be able to make it up to you all with more regular posting beginning next week.

Just FYI, I have a new baby arriving any day now. I probably won't drop 100% off the map but I will be a lot less frequent, maybe without notice, for a couple weeks.
How exciting, Janebok. Hope all goes well, and totally understand putting real life first... especially cool new life like that. :)

How absolutely wonderful.
I will not worry about your posting for however long the new child demands!
Selfishly, I do hope you will let us know when the blessed event happens.
I have two kids. They're 19 and 21. THEY'RE TOO OLD TO CUDDLE.. I'm jealous!
Congrats C4L! A very exciting time. Enjoy every special moment!
Best of luck, C4L! We'll try not to get Janebok killed. :-)

The race was a little clunky at times, and I probably should have put at least one more twist in it.
On the other hand, I think we just told a dandy story.
I enjoyed it.

I thought it was great fun!
Yes, it was fun!

We'll move forward with things tomorrow night (Monday). Thanks for your patience. It will be a whole new world as the crashed ship is finally opened for exploration.

Howdy gang!
I would like everyone to know that I will be away at a game convention in the midwest U.S. this weekend (CinCity Con in Cincinnati, Ohio).
I might eat some GOETTA, a Cincinnati specialty.
I plan for this weekend to be a very analog experience. I'll be rolling REAL dice and I'll have an actual paper character sheet in front of me!
In other words, this analog experience precludes much posting here.
I do hope to get in one more good round of posting either tonight or tomorrow.
After that, it may be next Monday.

New baby is here now. He and his older sister have put us through the ringer for a bit. Will be in contact more some time later.
Congrats! Take care and enjoy all the chaotic wonderfulness that a new arrival brings.
Congratulations! Best wishes to all!

I've just realized I may need to do some major rebuilding on Sen. She was initially written before books like Tech Revolution and now Redshift Rally came out and these have things that probably fit what I wanted Sen to be much more accurately, like the Experimental Vehicle alternative class feature and the Racer archetype.
When'd be a good time to redo her in-game? I don't wanna just change things while we're right in the middle of a "dungeon crawl!" :P

Regarding making changes to your character:
I think doing this following the conclusion of this adventure (which isn't too terribly far off, there is some exploration, and some interesting events, left to go). You will level up to 4, and then it appears we will move on to The Liberation of Locus-1.
Anyone may tweak their character. It would be my preference if you kept your race and class levels (though feel free to multi-class, of course).
If you believe your current character isn't a fit for Liberation of Locus-1, I am open to creating a new character.
Of course I am also fine of some of you prefer to NOT move on. The end of a book is always a good time to examine that.
In any case, we are several weeks from worrying about most of those things, but feel free to start dreaming.

Baby is doing well and I'm trying to get back into play by post this week. Thanks for your patience!
