SFS A Time of Crisis question.

Dataphiles

In the SFS special, A Time of Crisis, there is an encounter with NPC's attacking a wall, but the walls (shipping containers) aren't given hp, in the PDF i'm reading. How many HP should I assign the walls, so I know how much damage the npc's need to do before they are through?

I was going to say "Check the GM Discussion Thread" but I'm surprised to see that there isn't one!

I'll go ahead and flag your post to be moved over to the GM Discussion Forum so that it can get better visibility.

No set amount of damage. In Encounter E: The Gates, three attacks on a section of wall is all that is needed for the attackers to get through.

From page 16 & 19: "Once a drake has attacked a particular section of wall three times, it chews a hole through it and moves to devour the nearest tent. The drakes each attack their own wall portion rather than working together to make holes faster."

The abstraction gives the GM less to have to track and makes scaling from one level to another much easier.

How many bites does it take to get to the center of a Starfinder camp so you can start eating the new guys?

I have a minor question myself: Has Bennock Gunstrel ever appeared anywhere else?

I had this question, too! I believe the answer is "no." My reasoning is, people have tried to keep track of current, official, canon, Forum members, and the list is pretty small; to wit, just Chiskisk and Royo, IIRC*. If we had heard of Bennock previously, I think he would have been on that list.

* Mild Spoiler for Forum Member boon:
Not counting PCs who have joined the Forum via completing a certain trilogy of scenarios, that is. Putting behind a spoiler tag even though the boon is visible for all to see in the boon list /shrug

Oh, is Gunstrel a Forum member? I'm following the action on the Gameday play-by-post forum so I only know what's been said there.

Only reason I ask, to note, is:

Spoiler:
They introduce him as a "familiar" character you seem to already know. But my kneejerk reaction was "Have we met?"

He is!
...although going back to check now, though - it's never mentioned in the boxed text, so players are unlikely to know that. The scenario introduces him as a "veteran Starfinder and Forum member."

Ah, very helpful context. Thanks!
