Hunted: Enemies of the Empire OOC (Recruiting Closed)

[Max]

No problem. Thanks for keeping us in the loop so we know what the plan is.

Since we're in a pause, I was looking around the SAGA book to see how long it takes to start up the engines. I can't find anything. I was looking quickly before heading off to work, so it's very possible I just missed it. Has anyone seen this info? I'm just trying to figure out how fast we can get this ship out of here.

 

[FreeXenon]

No clue.

No clue.
I haven't had a need to look at the ship section yet. I will try to take a look this weekend to see what I can find.

Sorry for the late update everyone. This weekend has been very busy for me, and on top of that I had to come down with a nasty cold too! But I'm feeling better and ready to get back to the updates. I'll be posting an update in a minute here so we can begin the shoot-out in the hanger in earnest.

Max, since the rules seem mum on the action it requires to start a vehicle, I think a full-round action is reasonable for a light freighter. The pilot check to start it would be DC 10 since it is a fairly simple task to just start it up. In the surprise round you can move to the cockpit, on the next round you can start it up, then on the third round you should be able to start flying out so the party has at least a couple rounds to get HX-33 safely on board.

FreeXenon, the penalty for nonproficiency is -5.

That's what I was afraid of.
Updated my post.

That works for me!

Einan, that sucks.

You sacrificed yourself for the team. That is admirable and I thank you for it!
Perhaps we can work it so that someone can salvage pieces from your character along with other stuff found on the ship to easily allow you to bring in a new droid, if you like, or perhpas there is a stow away, of sorts, that knows what Bata is planning?

 

[Einan]

Alas, HX-33 died in the way he lived: running away.

I will think over a new character concept and post it soon. I'm expecting to play another scoundrel type character. I dig the shady types. And this time, more training into deception!

Einan

PS: Airwalkrr, any objections to another droid? I'm thinking perhaps an R5 type...

 

[airwalkrr]

Another droid sounds fine. When you say R5 do you mean a 5th degree droid? I don't see an R5 type described in the rulebook. We could say that the droid is another one Bata has stashed aboard the Crossbow, or maybe an independent one that snuck aboard for one reason or another.

Background Horst has had a run of bad luck. Unlucky at cards, he lost his ship. Unlucky at love, he was thrown out by his long time girl. Unlucky at interpersonal communications, he may have threatened a Moff with castration (it was a BIG misunderstanding.) On the run and without a ship, he’s looking for his luck to change.

Quote: "It wasn't my fault! How was I supposed to know they'd built in a self destruct? And failed to properly label it? I mean, sure it was the big red button, but it could have been a GOOD big red button!"

 

[airwalkrr]

Looks good to me. If you'd like, we can say your new character has stowed away aboard the Crossbow so you can participate in the firefight that's about to begin.
