There’s no way you’ll be able to afford any of that ever with wealth by level.
Who wants to do the post-game catchup for Findy?
Prepare for level 4 next week (as well as Tier 4 ship)!
Syggy found herself in a space station surrounded by a motley crowd of people belonging to all sorts of exotic alien species. There was a reactor in the center of the room, but she resisted the temptation to toss a grenade into it.
From a hallway branching off the right she could hear the sound of gunfire and a dragonkin’s roar. “That must be Zabraxas and the others!” She thought to herself and ran to their aid where they were indeed in combat with some squash headed aliens. She didn’t know how the fight started but she could see that one of the squash people was a solarion about to go supernova so she used her space-time anomaly to melt his face.
With the combat over, and her friends mostly unharmed, they proceeded to a sprawling industrial marketplace with lots of overturned mining carts being used as storefronts. Syggy had never seen so many interesting people in her life. Over by one stall, Zabraxas was arguing with a giant ball of fur and fangs. It was clear that the furball was getting the upper hand in the argument but Syggy decided not to invervene because she didn’t want Zabraxas to feel bad. Near another stall a puppy like alien person was talking to Sparks and freaking out about something. She tried to calm the alien by giving him a hug but he wasn’t having any of it and the others told her not to harass the puppy alien.
Fortunately, the team finally managed to get a useful clue from the puppy alien that lead them back to a garbage chute and Syggy and had to help push Zabraxas through. They met an alien lady named Tammy who as it turned out was the very person who could help them modify their ship to slip past the Azlanti defenses on Gulta. They convinced her to help in exchange for promising to free 3 friends of hers also being held prisoner on Gulta. She said the best way would be to steal a transponder from one of the supply shipts to Gulta. Tammy also made the team promise to hand over any supplies they found in the process - not a good bargain but maybe they didn’t have much of a choice. Tammy finally suggested that some crystalline spider pirates at the casino might know more about the supply ships.
At the casino, the team met with the spiders and Syggy imagined a rock song playing over the station PA system. The spiders suggested a ruse to lure a supply shipt to the station by narrowcasting a call for help from suppossed Azlantis. Rod Sparky hacked the comms antenna to transmit and Sparks helped translate a message that Syggy spoke into message. At first it looked like the supply ship wasn’t buying it, but Syggy remembered that she now has a Sidereal Influence ability to boost one of her skills and so she did that and luckily everything worked out.
The group then went to the main promenade where the reactor core was to greet the supply ship crew upon their arrival. Needless to say, a big fight ensued. Rod Sparkie took several hits early on but he was fine. Sparks wasn’t having the best of luck with his aim. Zabraxas breathed fire on the Azlantis which really impressed Syggy. Draevyn fired an expertly aimed inhibitor round at the Azlanti captain which took him right out. It looked like the battle was going the team’s way and that is where we left off.
Very good write up. Just a couple corrections, I think it was the floating shrimp in the bubble suit that gave us the clue to find Tammy and don’t forget that the spiders were spider PIRATES, very important piece of information there
Reminder: prep for level 4 (and ship) this week.
I went ahead and (preemptively) parsed the grenades and serums in everyone’s inventory and added them to the respective character’s action tabs.
So I changed the name of the (Fantasy Grounds) campaign to better reflect where we’re at/what we’re doing. That might have been dumb.
I have a strong feeling that this is going to mean you’ll have to redownload all the art and stuff on your end when y’all connect tonight and it’ll create a new cache on your machines.
So:
a) connect as early as possible to redownload the stuff or
b) before connecting, try renaming the folder in the campaign cache from “Rando’s SF - Three APs in One” to “Rando’s SF Sat - Aeon Throne”
Password is the same. GM’s name is the same.
And don’t forget level 4.
guess what, its Saturday!!
and i didnt forget this time. yay me
sorry about last week
We look forwards to your awesome goblin piloting skills… where’s that barf bag— oh wait I’m an android I don’t need it…
I blinked and apparently I’ve got like 3 hours left for prep. Man, y’all are screwed.
Actually that’s not true, it’s probably the exact opposite! Man, y’all are gonna pwn!
[Edit] In other news, we’ve now got the first two modules of The Devastation Ark AP available (along with their player resources… no idea what that entails). Yay!
So um… concerning last session. If we continue as is, y’all are f**ked.
After leaving Outpost Zed, let’s say that everything that happened after was a simulation y’all ran aboard the Stampede as you travelled the 8 days to Gulta. Your simulated plan did not work. Try another simulation. You’ve got 8 days.
Now y’all have a week to think about plans, ideas, etc. In an effort to be helpful I’ve consolidated a “What Does the Party Know” PDF for your perusal.
Think about all your favourite heist or spy movies.
Surprise Inspection, good idea, lead with that.
We don’t have any supplies/manifest, we’re the surprise inspection team!
Not knowing the name of the person you are impersonating.
Contradicting your teammates with confusing information.
When infiltrating the Death Star, do not ask to see Darth Vader.
Proceed directly to your objective, get the princess out of the cell block.
Proceed as if you belong and tell the minions to get out of your way.
When confronted by an authority figure be prepared (in advance) with something (falsified documents, rank insignias, secret handshakes, etc) that’ll get you out of that situation.
The dog ate my homework!
You know it occurs to me, do the holoskins affect audio as well, because yeah I doubt I sound like Lt. SHARU (ain’t gonna forget that now) at all unless holoskins somehow change your voice too straight out of Mission Impossible. I panicked a little internally at the name of the LT and I should have asked if I could do a check to recall her name rather than just wing it. Dammit, don’t these Azlanti have at least surname badges on their uniforms?..sheesh!
What if we kept running the simulation to see if we can pull it our of our asses!?
Lololol!!!
Man and here I thought it would be better to go through the official channels and not arouse suspicion by avoiding stuff and our disguises were way better than just stormtrooper suits. That’s what I get for overthinking things, I overthought stuff trying to compensate for me being the one with the ranked disguise, having to do the talking and not being one for doing the talking usually. If we do redo this someone else should key their holosuit/shroud thingee to look like the LT and not me. My Bluff skill is crap, I am better with Diplomacy and Intimidation and Bluff seems to be the key in this encounter.
Also, I was on the verge of just dragging that dock guy into the ship, but I didn’t want to freak the party out. If I recall there weren’t cameras on the dock? or were there?
To be fair, I screwed up plenty with the dog ate our manifest gambit.
I honestly had no idea what to expect when we got there. I tried reading the wall of text infiltration notes we got but obviously I failed to absorb a lot.
It was just overall confusing. I guess we should’ve created a mock-up. But a trial run simulation wil do.
That is the moment I should have grabbed the guy and dragged him into the ship. Or at least tried to get him to come onto the ship to personally verify the cargo because we couldn’t find the manifest.
I just can’t remember if there were cameras around or not on the dock.
I do not believe there was any cameras…
My only concern was once he got on the ship he would know it was not a Azlanti freighter. So we would need to take him out quickly and not give him a chance to use any com he has on him.
