[Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

[drothgery]

I'll get to certain interesting little items from the new book after this adventure is over and before we get moving on the next one. Off the top of my head, I remember spotting some new medical devices and slicing equipment. There may have been a couple other nice little things that some of you guys might enjoy.

Maybe. But unless I'm misreading the rules, computer spikes aren't very useful for Istara; the spike makes its own Use Computer check, and it'd cost a small fortune to make a spike that's better than she is.

When I first looked at them, they seemed kind of useless because of that. But when I looked at things more closely, they definitely have an interesting use. Expensive, but they turn improving access from a full round action to a swift action.

Strikes me as a 'oh crap, no time' type of item more than anything.

Its worth mentioning that, even with the fake prisoners and their escort remaining in position, they'd still be berated by that Imperial.

And thinking about our second group...I suspect you guys are currently hanging on to wait until you're needed before going anywhere, yes? We do have the problem of our previous pilot being MIA, though there's now another pilot with you guys...either way, though, I'm not sure I want to be NPCing such an important position unless its an absolute last resort. Thoughts?

Ok, just figured I'd mention it. Hopefully Viria and Lia can stall him a bit until Kay returns. I'm hoping that a 39(34) is enough to bluff the intelligence officers and allow her persuasion to work, 36 should be good enough unless these guys are just incredibly far above us.

 

[FreeXenon]

Yea. I am kind of waiting. We have no way of knowing what is happening, even if we did, there is not much we could do.

We might be able to strafe the buckets and cause a distraction as we exit the atmosphere, hopefully giving you a chance to escape. We might even be able to take two passes before it would be too dangerous.

But that might be all we could do at this point. =(

AMG, I am going to have to drop from this game. I've been on the road with limited access to a computer, and now my friend's laptop (from which I've been making posts) is going dead and without battery. We will be back in a couple of weeks; I know there's not much left in this intro mission, and I hate to drop, but I simple won't see another computer until mid-June. Good luck everyone!

Sorry to hear it but that kind of thing happens, sadly. Thanks for popping in here to let me know.

Pfft, and you were worried that talking wouldn't work.

At this point its you and three NPCs in the ship right now, so I'll leave that call to you. Its hard that the player drops came from the same group, as it were, but unless someone else wants to pick up a second PC for the last bit of this(and that's probably more effort than necessary), we'll just kind of have to deal with it.

And there's still a chance you'll be needed for more than just escort...they don't have a transport just yet.

Yea, but for all of the 39 and 36 and 2 force points it still isn't working. I think I can try to talk them into interrogating the prisoners up on the ship, since that wouldn't compromise their orders, but if that doesn't work, thats all we can really do considering the AT-ST could kill everyone on its own without the 10-20 Stormtroopers and the officers especially considering what happened earlier.

Oh, its definitely working. You haven't been shot in the face, directly told to do something else, etc...mostly left alone pretty well. Force Points are definitely helping, but that + Persuasion and such still aren't Mind Trick in that it actually affects the minds of the people you're dealing with.

Considering that you guys didn't have a ton of time to get your disguises together and Kay, especially, isn't exactly what most Imperials would expect from an officer, you're doing pretty damn well. But you are dealing with people with their own orders from who knows where and you're still surviving. I'd say that's a success.

Its about to go all pear shaped regardess of our skills.
