Kiztak "Kit" Basher's page

Congrats on the baby! I'm glad to hear you've got some good things going right now.

As for this game: I've had a fair amount going on recently, and haven't minded a break. All those options you laid out are reasonable. Personally, I'm happy to wait for a while longer, and pick up again when you feel up to it. I've enjoyed this group and the dynamic this campaign has had. That said, if other folks feel differently, or if you decide you'd rather have a clean break, I understand and that's fine too.

Kit checks that the car has a full tank of gas, pats his pockets looking for a half a pack of cigarettes (before he remembers he doesn't smoke), and hits the accelerator.

Kit's a pretty good pilot (+12) and is happy to drive the cruiser.

"Ooh, new car to fix!" We did, we kept the SUV-ish vehicle from the hideout we cleared, and I think added a jumper seat in the back so we could all fit in it.

Kit shows the lashunta his best toothy grin as Wyrd waits for her answer.

Welcome back!

Same. Take the time you need, we'll be ready to jump back in when you are.

Agreed. Kit being a smart-alec about Wyrd singing felt like the character move, but I agree that we're probably best off working with the casino in this case.

FYI, Kate and I will be away from our computers for the next few days, and may not be able to post between this evening and Tuesday evening. Feel free to bot Kit as needed.

Kit's grin gets wider and toothier at Wyrd's questioning eyebrow.

"Maybe they give ship back if Wyrd sing more?" Kit suggests, a grin on his face.

<sulks>

Kit could figure out how to use it! We just take it and--

Kit tries (and miserably fails) to look innocent while tapping some commands into his com unit as he follows his friends to go meet Puzzle.

"Wyrd famous now!" Kit responds with a cackle.

"Maybe Alice help? We patch Alice in, Alice make not-crappy sound come out?"

Kit is similarly ill-equipped to actually help.

Neat! It was fun to play with John, even if that scenario was....not my favorite.

Probably best to keep Kit off the stage anyway, with his 8 charisma.

"Haha, Kit good at percussive maintenance" the goblin says, with a toothy grin. "That count?"

Kit has 39cr, and he's happy to contribute toward a chip buy in if we decide to go that way. I'm not really sure what playing the skimmer table gets us, though, since we don't see her here. If we're going to be limited in how many games we can play with our limited funds, it might be better to save them in case we need to buy in to a game she's playing in order to get her to listen.

Kit glances longingly back at the guest services station, then turns back to the room. "We gonna recognize her, even if she is?" Kit follows Vedrir to the skimmer card tables.

Kit reluctantly hands over his two rifles, keeping his static arc pistol on his hip.

"Hm...ok, if you promise gun not melted."

Kit flashes a very toothy grin at the mention of the group sticking out. "What you gonna do with guns? I see last person, they gun melted into countertop! Don' want my gun melted."

"We disguise weapons before. Could do again?"

GM, do we see how exactly the weapons are stored (on racks? in a vault?) Trying to get a sense of whether their storage system would prevent a called fusion from working.

"Hey, no fair! You supposed to eat Nomyra, not Kit!"

Kit steps back and fires again. Guarded Step back, fire.

Static arc pistol (vs. EAC), combat tracking: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
E non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Overcharge damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Concealment (1-20 misses): 1d100 ⇒ 63

"At range seem good to me! That things slow!"

Kit continues firing on the plant.

Static arc pistol (vs. EAC), combat tracking: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
E non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Overcharge damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Miss chance (1-20 misses): 1d100 ⇒ 4

"Nofun, you bad at job! Target better!"

"Stupid plant! You stop!" Kit continues his assault, firing his pistol once more, then quickly swapping in a spare battery.

Static arc pistol (vs. EAC), combat tracking, Nomyra Coordinated Shot: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 23
E non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Overcharge damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Miss chance (1-20 misses): 1d100 ⇒ 41

"See? You run in, you get eated by stupid star plant!"

Kit continues grumbling as he takes a few steps forward and fires again.

Static arc pistol (vs. EAC), combat tracking, Nomyra coordinated shot: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 20
Concealment (1-20 misses): 1d100 ⇒ 75
E non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Overcharge damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Don't forget that Nomyra has Coordinated Shot. You get +1 to hit as long as she is not providing it cover from you.

Hope you don't mind, GM, I pulled in one of the templates I have handy for this sort of thing (and linked my spell templates deck).

"Nomyra, what Kit tell you 'bout getting eated! Nofun, wake up lazy! Aim at stupid plant!"

Kit waits a moment for Nofun to feed him tracking data on the plant, then fires his static arc pistol at the plant.

Static arc pistol (vs. EAC), combat tracking, Nomyra Coordinated Shot: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 19
E non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Overcharge damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Try light stuff first if you want" Kit says with a shrug as he draws a static arc pistol and fiddles with it. "I ready to shoot. This one no kill of you press the right buttons. Electricity work on these things?"

Kit turns to Nomyra. "You no let this one eat you like other things did."

"This too much talking. Let's go!"

And here comes the angle. We make sure that Lurian is drunk as a sun sailor and trick her into playing us cards.

It is like Ocean's 11, but instead of the casino we will try to beat Lurian, and there will be no crew of 11 but 5. And on top of that, we hold no moral high ground, and we lack Bratt Pitt. Bet besides all that, it is just like Ocean's 11... :P

Did they really have any moral high ground in that movie? In the end they, acted out of greed, jealousy over an ex, and spite from a failed business rival.

Kit is completely on board with all of these ideas.

"Hm. What sponsor entail? Tote bag? Name on wall? Ride in fancy ship?"

Glad to have you back, Flash!

Yeah, no rush. If it would help to just set a break (a few days, two weeks, whatever) so you don't have to worry about it, that's fine too.

"So we supposed to borrow they ship but not tell them why?"

With that bump from 3000 to 5000, Kit's total wealth (gear + cash) is just over 9000cr, so I think we're at the right point.

Nice. New weapon with a conserving fusion (almost mandatory for an overcharging mechanic), here I come.

I have Kit leveled up. Main changes at this level:

Since I want to ask everybody before each book, is everybody good with continuing into book 3?

And, out-of-character, I'd apprecaite your comments/thoughts on anything AP-related so far. What do you think of the story so far?

I'm having fun and am good to continue into book 3. I'm looking forward to where this takes us from here, and curious if we'll run into Jalusann again.

Player: Dennis Muldoon
Character: (unnamed)
SFS#: 215589-713
Faction: Second Seekers (Ehu Hadif)
No day job yet.

Lol, love the sign details (which I'm guessing you added, or at least embellished). Nice little easter egg for SFS players.

Before entering, Kit takes a moment to look at the sign. "Why that sign seem so suspicious? Like it scheming or something. Don't trust it."

Later, once the food is brought out, he seems to forget his misgivings. "You can pass cricket curry back over here!"

"Oooh, clubhouse!" Kit says, already scheming for how he'll set up the workshop.

You find Kit waist deep in engine bay of the utility vehicle connecting cables to a clearly-modified hub. Nearby, the performance cruiser looks slightly more disassembled than when you last saw it. Upon closer inspection, you see a fifth seat--clearly scavenged from the sportier vehicle--mounted facing backwards in what was once the rear cargo space. "Now we all fit! Which one of you no get carsick, want to sit backwards?"

Hope that's alright, GM. I figure it wouldn't be too hard to mount an extra seat, even if it makes the car look janky and eliminates any cargo space.

"Oh yeah! Forgot about cars!" Kit is glad to try to get one of those working, if we have time.
