"I can't pick keypads. What about or mechanic?"
So I am posting from work: Apologies about not posting sooner, but I have been down internet wise for roughly a week, and will not have internet back up yet for a week or so. This means that I haven't had internet for the last 4 days (as we had 4 days off at my work for the holiday). It's been...an experience where I learned that I use the internet more than I thought I did. With all of that being said, I will try to post from work as I can, but if I am in your game, please bot me as needed. If I am running your game, please bear with me while I try to post when I can. Hopefully, sooner than better, but I want to be up front about this issue. again, I apologize about the delay.

Posting this to all my games, so sorry if you see it multiple times: This week both my office and I personally are going to be moving. It's been crazy busy and I am not going to be able to post until Monday at the earliest. Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in a game I am running, I will get a post up as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
"Just that they travel in patrols like this one." says Arika. "I'm not sure how they spotted me, or kept seeing me."
"Well, that could have gone better." said Arika as she reloaded her rifle.
Not bothering to snipe now that her allies are there, Arika instead just fires.
It's bee working so far, so Arika sees no reason to change up her tactics.
Arika continues to shoot then move and hide.
GM: Again, Arika shoots and then hides.
GM: Arika continues attacking and hiding.
GM: Arika shoots then moves and hides again.
GM: Arika raises her rifle and fires at the one that spotted her.
She then moves and breaks line of sight before hiding again.
Arika will scout ahead, confident in her abilities.
"Okay, I'm headed to area B. Give me about 15 minutes to get into position before starting anything."
"I still think that it would be best if I stay out of town; not only does it play to my specialty, but that way if things go south for the assault group, I can come and try to rescue you. Baedjrak, can you pinpoint the source of the jamming?"
Arika will test her comms to verify if they are working or not, both the current working set, and the comm unit that she is handing out.
Arika secures the hunting rifle and ammo, then makes a digital copy of the map, adds a few notes and then sends each group member a copy. "Okay folks, here is what I am thinking. I'll go get into position to cover you as you are in town. When I move, I'll let you know via comms which section I'm going to move to. If you want to let me know to move to a specific section, just say three words that begin with the same letter in a single sentence, and I'll know to move to that area. Next" says Arika as she produces a spare personal comm and offers it up to the group before continuing "Keep this comm open and broadcasting at all times, so I can listen into the conversations you are having. I've set it to a different frequency than the comms we'll be using to communicate, so just set it and forget it. Finally, you" she indicates the native man "is there a place that you can tell your people to gather that they would know by name that the Azlanti wouldn't? If so, which direction is it located in?"
Arika looks at the map and starts looking for sniping positions to provide overwatch for the group, while starting to formulate a plan.
As the others talked to the man, Arika was busy removing and sorting their gear, laid out into neat piles. As she worked, she asked the man "Can you draw us a map of your town and the surrounding land please, including the new buildings?"
Arika aims and fires again.
"Now, now, no need for..." Arika is cut off by Elthaeron's attack. Sighing, she moves for a tree to get cover and separation, then draws up her rifle and fires at one of the two hostiles.
"I hate jungles." says Arika as she assembles her rifle.
"You had me at sneak." jokes Arika.
"Can you identify an manufacturer? That could potentially tell us something about who we're dealing with."
I can only help with 1 phase a turn, per the rules on page 322, specifically: You can take one action (usually defined by your role) per round of starship combat.
"Impediments in our way have to be dealt with. Trosvod, fire at will. Elthaeron, do your best not to get us shot down . Baedjrak, Go keep our ship from falling apart."
"Fine, I'll command the ship. " As the ship exits the Drift, Arika is roused by the sounds of the proximity alarms. Sighing, she says "Let's kill them all and be on our way."
"I can try and fill in whichever role you think I would fit best in, but I've never worked as a ship's crewman before, so I can't say that I would offer much in the way of experience."
Okay, I'll start speccing out something with a medlab, cargo bay, and mixed weapons and I'll get it posted probably Friday/Saturday, if I'm being completely honest.
I am somewhat familiar with the starship creation rules. I'm fine with taking point on building it. Couple of quick broad questions for the group to help flesh out our basic starship plans (we'll need to eventually come to a consensus on this, but to start with let's just get everyone's opinion): Do we want our ship to be fast, or tough? Do we want more energy or physical weapons? Do we want/need any specific labs (biological, cybernetic, magic)? Is there anything specific that we *HAVE* to have on the ship?
What's our level limit for purchasing things?
"Sure. I'll go and get started packing. Let me know where the ship is docked." |
