Knights of the Old Republic - OCC

OOC: In the mean time, however Jad will start to gather information. Spending a Force Point for a boost: 3 +18 +11 = 32 That should be enough to get even the most secret information on the dark-sider, if a 32 isn't enough then Elan and Jarec should be able to make the DC 10 checks to boost her up to a 36 via aid another.

Do you mean she wants to start asking around in the bars, etc about the 'dark force user'? If so ok, just want to be 100% sure...

I didn't think the skill was that specific as to what part of a town as to just in and around the town itself. With the roll I'm not really worried about someone realizing I'm asking around since that takes failing by 5 or more. More likely to start in the area within a few kilometers of the prescence.

 

[Karl Green]

Yea that is true, just checking...

Now that I have caught everyone up to the same time I want to get a feeling for where you wish to go next before telling you the results of your Gather Information check (which will take 1d6 hours)

 

[Shalimar]

Well, speeders are a bit slower then starships. The listed speed of the Star Jewel is 3 times faster then the speed of the example speeder in the rule book. We should be finishing up the Gather Info check when they arrive if it takes us the full 6 hours.

We'll do the Gather Info while we wait for the other Jedi, and then it depends on the info we get as to how we will approach things from there.

I just want to be sure that those at Landing Port North are heading to Casino City, which is sounds like they are... so update in a bit here

I think Serrana's piloting skills are good enough that she can safely push the speeder beyond maximum speed for a while; I don't know for how long, though.

It took Star Jewel 2 hours at 1,200km/h. The speeder in the book has a max speed of 330km/h. Then again the book says the militery employs speeders with different engines that can be faster, so maybe 600km/h. At best it should take the speeder group 4 hours to do what Star Jewel did in 2. 4-6 hours is right around the time needed for the gather info check.

Well I also figured that the Star Jewel might have gone up to orbit to cut the time... as you are traveling from the North Pole to the southern hemisphere and all… also I assume air-speeders would be faster then land-speeders (the only listed airspeed is 1,100kph

One of the pilot actions (I'm not sure if it's under the pilot skill or in the vehicles chapter) allows you to push a vehicle beyond its rated speed for a time with a successful pilot check. If that works for hours (or if you can keep doing it indefinitely, and Serrana can't fail the check), then she could speed things up somewhat.

 

[Karl Green]

Yea, no matter what it will be about 6 hours and the airspeeder will be arriving as the others have gathered their info
