[Finished] SF - Horizons of the Vast AP (Sundays, 8-11 EDT)

Oh yeah…

I forgot one of my favourite bullet points of the evening!

  • Captain van Tenjic told the party to “Get 'em!” on Hobgob 22. Everyone promptly ignored Hobgob 22 (well, and Captain van Tenjic) and fired at every other target! :laughing:

My choice of target to shoot at stemmed strictly at taking out the one Hobgoblin who could shoot at our driver if they wanted to.

50% you say?..because I vividly remember getting offered a disappointing 25% by Ahyna, leader of the resistance cell.

It was 50 percent of half the shipment. so 25 percent of the worth of the whole shipment. Of which we never stated we sent it to anyone. So hopefully it is stashed out of sight and not on the ship when they decide to repo it.

My favorite part of your favorite part is Captain Van Tenjic repeatedly Get 'Em’ing hobo 22 (I figure that would be the one shooting at me) and making sure to indicate which one had Get 'Em on it many times…aaaand nothing.

At the time all I heard was 25%, but yeah I worked it out in my head just now hehe.

@Mithinar also by the way, when Captain Van Tenjic asked Jack Storm, Union Busted if he wanted to go outlaw, Captaini Van Tenjic was not referring to going outlaw on Absalom Station. Also more smuggling…and maybe a little pirating…and/or theft. But I dunno, pirating around Absalom Station might work out, I mean we just encountered a pirate hanging out in a happenin’ spot who had no problems picking a fight right out in the open so it must have been working for him…up until now that is :smirk:

I would not pin my hopes on someone being successful, when his only minion we have seen is a skittermander that is holding a weapon larger than he is.

That sounds to me more like a poser than a real pirate. Just saying…

Thanks for that write up @Rando !

It sounds like that was quite a cinematic episode.

Indiana Jones, eat your heart out!

I had assumed that Alydia was going to die but I’m really happy she didn’t. Now I have an excuse to keep learning to draw!

It’s possible for 3rd level this week(end). /shrug

Today I learned that a “malus” is a “penalty or negative thing”, according to wictionary.

Yesterday @Rando and I were chatting and he used the word and I didn’t believe it was a real word because it wasn’t in the free version of Merrimiam-Webster. I like this word because it seems intuitively the inverse of bonus.

In another example of my ongoing linguistic follies (hey, I’m just a kid from Alabama, go easy on me!) I recently learned that I’ve been pronouncing “Drow” incorrectly. It’s pronounced like it rhymes with cow and not crow. I don’t why you all were trying to tell me that it rhymed with crow. The thing that finally convinced me was a video on youtube of a lady from the Shetland islands talking about the folklore stories of the “Trow”, which were supposedly one of the inspirations for the Drow. I had read (in multiple places) that word was pronounced to rhyme with crow but lo and behold this lady pronounces it like cow. So Dro is out and Drow is in I guess. I still find the incorrect pronunciation to have a more pleasant sound to my ears but I guess that’s a subjective judgment. I think Alydia will keep pronouncing it the wrong way as it is consistent with her character being an agent of chaos.

No. It rhymes with bow.

I’m just going to refer to them as the drowdrow pronounced as know-how.

Mmm… Sundayfinder.

Or as one of the players of the current module call it: bend over, spread em, and smile!!! cackle…

So like I said earlier it’s entirely possible for y’all to ding level 3 tonight but that also means we’ll run out of things to do tonight…

Here’s an idea, maybe this AP can actually give us some payout and then we can finally do some shopping to waste time :smirk:

Not going to hold my breath personally, I still feel at least one more Kick you after I push you to the ground coming in from Lord S. Because as evidenced by our own Agent of Chaos, Drow are not known to be forgiving of the lesser races (I.e anyone who isn’t drow). But are more than willing to use them first before chastisement is administered.

Oh, I am not holding my breath or holding out any hope of the AP ever letting us live the life beyond that of a pauper, but hey sometimes it doesn’t hurt to make puppy dog eyes and bat your eyelashes like Bugs Bunny in drag at the GM.

Hey! Be nice!!
