...continued from Archived OOC...

To give our new character a chance to get to know everyone without slowing down the action I've created a separate thread for the comlink between the ships. Everyone feel free to post there. Any discussion will occur prior to Rynn entering the canyon as once the X-wing entered the crystal canyon the comlink will have been broken by the interference the crystals cause.

I just love that New Character Smell!

And if I ever meet The Pope, I'm going to ask if I can smell him, just so I can know what that New Pope Smell smells like.

Is there any way to disable a ship without dropping it down the condition track? I really don't want to have to destroy these people... Imps or not.

The usual way to disable a vehicle is with an ion cannon or a tractor beam. Those options aren't there for Rynn. He might if he's creative enough think of some way of using the crystal canyon to his advantage if he's looking to make the Imperial's crash land or become trapped in rocks rather than blow them up.

Kudos for the idea GM.

GM is that two pilot checks at a total of +1, or an aditional +1 to my already +8?

That's 2 checks at +8 for Rynn with his Pilot skill included. Rynn gets +1 whilst Klyn gets -9 because the X-wing is better than the jump freighter at manoeuvres.

I’m not sure if my description was clear but Rynn’s X-wing has come to a stop and it’s nose is buried in the falling crystals. He could try to use the engines to escape but it won’t be a simple hover he will have to try and blast the X-wing out as the weight of the crystals have trapped the X-wing. The other alternative is to try and escape the wreck.

Let me know what you want to try and ask any questions you have.

Wow, totally miss read that, I thought he stopped skipping. Quick edit.

Is T3-M8 attempting to Jury-Rig the engines? If he is Klyn better get down there and help as the DC is 25.

Is there any emergency hatch, or is it stuck by the crystals? Is there any sort of winch system?

I'm thinking my only way out is to let out a burst with the lasers and hope the shields hold.

There is an ejection hatch. Will take a Mechanics check to operate in its current condition.

How far away is Rynn's X-wing, and what is the terrain like to get there? How steep, how rocky and unstable, and how high? Will I be able to get over the top to see what happened to the scout-ship?

Do we have a speeder or whatever on board? I know Zerrek had a bike, but he probably took it with him when he jumped ship or whatever happened to him.

The X-wing can be reached with a scramble up the newly made slope. From the cliff above they should be able to have a look around and work things out. They don't have any other transport, Zerrek will have kept his speeder.

Are the four "wings" of the X-wing buried?

The top two wings are clear of the crystals.

Lyla, what time zone are you in?

I'm in +8 GMT, Western Australia.

How long would it take to walk to the crash-site?

Should take less than 2 hours walking.

Good question, GM has Rynn has any run ins with the Crystals dudes?

Rynn hasn't met any. He knows that there are native sentients on the planet. Social sciences check for if he knows more.

Crystal dudes?  So like the Tholians?

Yes, made of crystal.

I wonder how powerful a lightsaber one could make from them.
