Thus far no villagers have agreed to help you with this ambush. All of their fighting team are occupied with their territorial conflict. There's more reasons too, but you don't know yet.

I was hoping Forim would lead that discussion with you, Anders, and the Geik... He's been quiet since Friday.   Weekends can get busy - maybe hang on till tomorrow and if he doesn't post, I'll post asking someone for help on that front when I move to ask the Geik to hold off an attack on the Blue Speckle tribe.

I am happy to act as a translator, but the Geik are currently otherwise disposed in an internal argument :P

*asks the GM nicely for when the Geik might be done with their rally so Forim can get cracking on the mapping task (I assume astrogation or pilot(planetary)?  I figured you'd kick arse there Forim - even if you're not a military - and I figured Anders would help with the military side of things?)

Also, when they are done, I can work on the delaying their invasion?

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT!



The one on the left is a typical example of the ones you fought in the stone maze. The one on the right looks a lot like the ones you first met when you got to the green area outside the maze.

Nicely done :-) A picture always does tell a thousand words!

Pretty much what I envisioned

I will post something for the Chiefs response soon.


You are trying to find good tactical positions where the river leaves the stone maze. You can find good cover or good overwatch positions using:

 Vigilance 2d
 Kn Warfare 2d
 Perception 1d 1c

Success gives you 1b to your first attack and 1 ranged defence, and if you want to be on higher ground you can be. 2 Advantages allows you to create one small change to the battlefield, such as setting up a rappelling line ahead of time. You need not decide on what it is before the battle begins.
Threats result in 1s on your first attack roll. I will tell you what Despair results in. If choose not to roll, you get one ranged defence from just taking cover.

I'm not very good at any of those rolls.  I'll let Rodger look around and if he can't find anything I'll look.  :(

[Private to GM: Kn Warfare, can I just roll Int for that or do I need the skill?]

Anyone have any rope or are the villagers able to supply some.

Yes, the villagers have some rope. Not long or terribly thick; mostly two or three-foot lengths of twine. Does that count?

The pillar is about ten meters high, so directly from top to bottom is Short range. From the top of the pillar to the middle of the canyon is about Medium range. Any other questions?

We'll deal with the negotiation and its subsequent fallout after this next encounter.

well, that bodes well :P

Hello,
This was my roll for finding cover, I think it was successful ?

Anders Flown rolled 1 success using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 2d 1a 1p.  Vigilance.

Oh, sorry. I try to notice these things, but sometimes I miss stuff. Okay, so you're in cover as well.

In reply to The Force (msg # 499):

No problem it was a bit back in the dialog. Cheers.

Waiting one more day for Zeic.

How far is the troop transport from our positions ? Thanks.

Long range, about a kilometer.

Does Forims warning allow the rest of us to see the sniper?

Are the Imps weapons long range capable?...

The weapons on the troop transport are. E-11s are not, but light repeating blaster are.

Roger can assist with this roll, or provide a boost, or whatever.
The appropriate skills would be Mechanics 2D, Computers 2D, Warfare 1D 1S, or Perception 3D.

After this round, we'll change Initiative order so that Xyklo is going at the same time as everyone else. So, Xyklo, if you want to take two turns on top of one another it's fine.

The enemy are all at Long range. Currently, shooting at the Stormtroopers imposes 2s as they are taking cover behind their vehicle. Shooting at the sniper is 1s if you are up high on one of the pillars, or 2s if you are on the canyon floor.

No worries.

Unless the sniper shoots me in the head first, in which case plenty of worries!
