Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game -- IC01

[Leif]

OOC: GREAT JOB GUYS! I mean everybody was just RPing spectacularly! Remember what I said before about possibly just becoming a lurker and reading this thread for pure pleasure?? Well, you're not making it easy on me to resist that urge. In fact, I'm SO impressed, everyone gets 3 more character points to spend right now!

OOC: Oh yeah, and Kaira gets three proposals of marriage, and ten proposals for something more ... umm ... carnal. Unfortunately, she still can't get the stuff for free (overhead you know), but she gets a 40% discount without even showing any cleavage, and since I know she shows some generous amounts of cleavage, make it a 55% discount. Need anything else, anyone?

Jimmy

OOC: Skipping ahead slightly, as Spider has not yet responded to Jimmy's bit about cooking...

IC: "If it's hunting, I guess I'd better go buy a rifle and learn to shoot it. Where's the ship, so I know where to meet up?" After getting directions, Jimmy stands up and moves off to buy a hunting rifle and learn to shoot it.

OOC: How's that for using those 3 character points? I need a question answered: What's the tech level?

 

[Leif]

Inthe/Glisten en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil -- in the "High Passage" Bar

OOC: Default tech level for most anywhere in the Imperium is 10, right? That sounds good, anyway. Yeah, it's GURPS TL 10 which is the equivalent of GDW Traveller TL 12.

OOC: Gruffle will apply his 3 CP to trying to get rid of his Combat Paralysis, a -15 point disadvantage. So basically when 15 CP points are accrued, Gruffle will buy it off and/or roleplay it off as well if a treatment is found.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Any more preparations to be made, or is everyone ready to go a-hunting? Or has Zoe's trepidation become infectious and you've decided to just head on towards Edenelt/Trin's Veil?? Hmmm, if you're going hunting, I guess I'd better stat me up some Croubeks! I appreciate knowing how the CPs were spent, but can we do that in the OOC thread? I know, I know, I should have awarded them there, too. MEA CULPA!

Back on the Zax, Gruffle cleans himself up
with a nice hot shower, then prepares & checks
his gear for the hunt. This takes about an
hour & a half. After gear inspection is done,
Gruffle stows his gear in his locker & heads
to Engineering & straps himself in near an
engineering terminal to prepare for
take-off to the secondary star port of Inthe.

 

[Leif]

OOC: That's one, well two, counting Kaira in the next post. Jimmy, Spider, and Zoe still to go.

Kaira has purchased everything she needs and heads back to the ship. On the way to the southern continent, Kaira will brief everyone on the use of the equipment she purchased.

"Guys, I have one question. Does anyone know how we're supposed to extract these gems?"

OOC: Kaira is updated in the RG with the additional equipment and she has spent 1cp on laser rifle skill. See the OOC for a discussion of the Survival skill in GURPS.

Gruffle

Over the intercom to Kaira, Gruffle speaks out,

"I haven't got a clue. We can probably make a
better assessment of what we need once we
can see it for ourselves. Or you could try dialing
up the guy who gave us the info & see what
he might know about it. Perhaps these gems
are laying around on the surface & it's as simple
as loading them on a hover platform or mine cart?"

With that, Gruffle puts his attention back at the
engineering control interface to keep the ship
in a nominal state.
