Damn cut and paste on a phone. Yes you are correct.

I have re-rolled correctly.

Okay, I'll bite. You had 6 boosts last roll, and this time you have 7 boosts. Can I have the math please?

Yeah I was lost on that one too.

In reply to The Force (msg # 710):

Working on the premise that advantages stack we have the original 2 boosts and then

msg #601 3 advantages = 1 boost
msg #603 4 advantages = 2 boost
msg #609 Actual engine trouble help from Forim = 1 boost
msg #610 2 advantages = 1 boost

Sound OK ?

Forim used his advantage to turn a failure into a qualified success with actual engine trouble.

Advantages can stack, but once they're expended on boosts for a given roll they are gone. You add the boosts to your roll and then you're back to zero. With the exception of the two boosts you mentioned from lying over comm and believable lies.  you should be rolling 3c 2a 2b.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of rolls. I imagine that is because you were using your phone for rolling, and there was some sort of technical glitch.

Ah... bugger oh well I'll try to keep the failures to one or two.

To determine more about Tie fighters, I need Warfare 2D, space piloting 3D, or mechanics 3D. The engine cut out entirely as a safety measure as it's started to get an overflow of fuel. It's currently sitting with its nose jammed into the mud at about a 30 degree angle.

In reply to The Force (msg # 715):

Added my roll to my post. Thanks.

Tie fighters, by default, do not have life form detectors. The thermal imaging works fine, but it has to lock onto a subject first. So they don't have like a map that has hot spots on it. They lock on to a ship and see hot spots on that. Any other questions?

Yep. How far to the nearest woods? (Cos our crafty plans aren’t always as crafty as we think)

The nearest forest is within sight. It's between 1 and 2 km away, directly south. Feel like a run? 1D1S Athletics. Advantages can be used as boosts, to help your colleagues find solid ground to walk on, but only by people who are specifically running after you.

Also, I wanted to tell you something about Imperial starfighter tactics since you succeeded the roll. Imperial Fighter pilots are trained not to stay on station like this. They are supposed to conduct a single sortie, then move on to another point. TIE patrols always involve multiple points. Either these TIE pilots aren't acting like real Imperial pilots, they're being commanded by someone who doesn't know how to command them, or both.

Everyone can increase their Duty score by 5 as a reward for your loyalty to the game over the holiday season.

Hi Guys, I am moving house tomorrow and won't have the internet installed until the 1st Feb or at lease that is what they have said, fingers crossed. I should be able to check in a couple of times. Thanks.

Cymon.

The four stone doors are currently closed. They are about to open. The tunnel came out off to the side of the South wall.
Anything else anyone want cleared up?

ok, I updated my post to say that he is taking cover in the tunnel.

Sorry for slow posting gang!
Back on it...

Sure, you guys can have another boost for that.

I have 35 xp saved. It strikes me that spending some on a rank in athletics might be prudent. That ok boss?...

Sure. You guys have been hiking through the wilderness for days. He makes a lot of sense that your athleticism would have improved.

I probably would have partially dismantled Roger and used him as the payload in an atlatl, with the rope tied to him so I could reel him back in if need. But sure, fling your fragile nonflying insect body across. Sure. Anyway, you win.

Hey I'm now a flying insect too!

And yep, got the Indy ref. Let's hope we don't get a edi offering a round of drinks next ;)

I believe you can flyyyyyyy

and awesome, was hoping someone would ;)

Is everyone clear on what you're facing? Round metal door, numeric keypad, wall full of I's and O's?

Do you guys realize it's literally been a year since we began this mission? We started with the briefing in March 2017.

So, as you've probably deduced, this is the way I wanted to introduce the Force into this game. At this point, you have two options:

You can either consume the fruit blessing thing from the tree, at which point you will gain some benefits related to the force;

Or you can keep the blessing to use in a piece of special equipment. You remember a long time ago when I asked you what you wanted for your rule-breaking special piece of gear?

Either way, everyone gain 20 experience points. If you wish to consume the thing, we will talk about the actual effects of that before it happens in game. That way you will be prepared.
