15:15, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d12.  # months ago Drax died.
Elf-occupied world (50%) or elves invading humanoid world (51+) ?
15:16, Today: Garek rolled 72 using 1d100.  elf world.
*humanoid-occupied planet

Loren incident - scrying for bones, wizard guild on planet he died? Antaeus could go 'hire' a guy so can scry for.

15:19, Today: Garek rolled 63 using 1d100.  target a moon (70%) or rock-type space station (30%).
-target is a moon of the planet Drax died on 7 months ago (humanoid occupied).


15:59, Today: Garek rolled 9 using 1d100.  prisoners (10% likely) - wouldn't last 7 months, or be taken.
16:00, Today: Garek rolled 25 using 1d100.  Drax himself the target (10%). [resurrection - no]
-orcs have [elven?] prisoners; specific reason to keep them alive.
Drax - could have a different objective initially. Potentially, 'POW camp' with shifting prisoner population. [say 10%]

16:02, Today: Garek rolled 26 using 1d100.  POW camp with shifting population. - no.

16:03, Today: Garek rolled 28 using 1d100.  orc/elf breeding experiments (40%). - yes.
So, female elves taken to the moon base, necessarily takes several months.

? elf/orc not usually interfertile.
16:58, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d100.  orc/human breeding more likely (50%).
-hence human/orc breeding (gross, but something elves will outsource rather than do themselves; long-term source of military strength for scro is main elf concern).


16:05, Today: Garek rolled 83 using 1d100.  Drax involved in same rescue mission earlier - 30%). - may have been doing general scouting in area [several ships doing searching before finding the the Pitar experiment here]

16:08, Today: Garek rolled 22 using 1d100.  lost in crash onto neighbouring planet, scouting (70%).
-crashing on planet after space battle, scouting which found moon. Elves know only that ship was lost. [Others onboard MIGHT have survived]


*spending one Y/N question - "is Drax alive?" - NO

Also:
20:31, Today: Garek rolled 87 using 1d100.  scimitar of speed purchaseable (15%+10%).
No (would give an extra attack w/ offhand, so 4 attacks/round).

-actually breeding half-ogres

18:37, Today: Garek rolled 82 using 1d100.  also a mining colony (50%). - no.
Body - in space (no), on the moon (no), on the planet (yes).
=4 Y/N questions used.
Can determine ship crashed on the planet; could go there and mindlink to survivors to locate?


10:15, Today: Garek rolled 84 using 1d100.  are there any other survivors from crash (75%).
NO - =5 Y/N qu. asked (low % as may have died due to monsters etc.)

---

Elves presumably OK with a week delay (at worst). If PCs can deal with letting atrocities continue for another week. Potential for Drax to have helpful info. etc for actual assault.

10:11, Today: Garek rolled 63 using 1d100.  monster planet/wilderness (90%).
[as opposed to wall-to-wall humanoids, probably an 'uncontacted' world.
Moon would be located as accessible to shipping lanes [?], while still being able to project sufficient humanoid forces across area mostly. Potential natural hazards.

Gated back to the Rock after about 4-5 elapsed hours.
From there: can open 'outward' portal, push guy through and let him scry location. Can't do trip there/back for a week; or, could get there but would be stuck there for a week.

Lynn - has a CC event (added to list now active).



07:37, Today: Garek rolled 1,8 using d4,d10.  random CC event - Lynn.

The character participates in a rebellion against local authority.
Roll a dl0. If the result is 9 - 10, the rebellion was successful
and the local rulers deposed. Any other result means that any
known participants are officially outlawed and have a price on
their head. Roll a dl 0 again if the rebellion failed. If the result is
lessthan 10, only a few close friends know of the character's participation.
A result of 10 means that the character is an outlaw. [R]

18: 07:37, Today: Garek rolled 10 using d10.  rebellion against local authority.
-would be some forces controlling the Rock ? - not evil, however.
-specific objective rather than complete change in government?

-treat as: involved in rioting in The Low City (just outside) vs. a recent proclamation of Prince Andru's. NOT total change in government.

Used a Y/N qu to see if scimitar of speed could be found in Kelarn (15%) - 63%, no.

*one week to recharge planar travel. Drax - recovering, replacing spellbooks.
Knows any useful information?
20:44, Today: Garek rolled 69 using 1d100.  How much does Drax know (15% chance useful).

-would actually be going to the moon from 3-P universe.
-Gaynor opens portal from one direction; Garek still 'available'

How many ogres? Could be as low as 1.
May have some female orcs (producing orogs) - potentially some volunteers, some being punished.


20:47, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d10.  Number of ogres.
Say 75 human women; 25 orc females
50 goblins, 50 orcs on base.
Leader: likely to be half-ogre - fighter - level limit of 12th.

20:58, Today: Garek rolled 26 using 1d100.  leader a half-ogre (50%), otherwise true ogre.
[2 of the true ogres are his half-brothers]
20:54, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d6+6.  half-ogre leader level.

Scro cleric on base - providing medical aid.

Base has several spelljammers - periodically, patrolling from moon base.
Escaping: can teleport in, to escape (if kill everyone) just steal a spelljammer.
[PCS know their are space forces]
Patrol ships likely to intercept in space battle when leaving.

21:09, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d100.  elves - any intel on appearance of base (50%).
Extreme yes: very detailed map!
21:10, Today: Garek rolled 70 using 1d100.  Former elf plantation (50%). ? - no.
May have cleansed pirates out of previously (50%) or scryed on (50%).

21:11, Today: Garek rolled 46 using 1d100.  Elves have cleaned pirates out of (50%).
-cleaned pirates out of this before.
-have a map of base, but not exact knowledge of current monsters/contents.


21:20, Today: Garek rolled 35 using 1d100.  Moon primarily desert (33%), forest (33%) or water (33%).
-sparse forest. Spelljammer base next to lake allowing 'touchdown' by ships.
May be cave complex or pirate construction.

21:21, Today: Garek rolled 9 using 1d100.  Caves (50%) or pirate construction.
-extensive cave system running through hills near lake.

wand of firewalls may help even the odds enormously!

Spelljammer world: moon likely to be <500 miles across [Earth's moon unusually large]
Earth's moon is 2000 miles in diameter. [make that the normal maximum]

21:25, Today: Garek rolled 808 using 1d2000.  miles in diameter.

Travel: party could travel on flying carpet but may be spotted from space.
Dream Travel (500 mile range) is very useful though ideally rest near the base before assault, in hiding.

"Are we within 500 miles of the base" - used up 3 Y/N questions with random 3-P portals.

21:34, Today: Garek rolled 764 using 1d808.  approximate distance from lake - area 1.
21:35, Today: Garek rolled 698 using 1d808.  distance from base.
21:35, Today: Garek rolled 285 using 1d808.  distance from base.
[using d808 as very rough approximation - math very complex]

21:37, Today: Garek rolled 68 using 1d100.  likelihood of cover (75%).
21:37, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d6.  monsters nearby?

Dream Travel to closer: problem of needing one person awake? [who therefore can't travel?]
This message was last edited by the player at 11:08, Wed 07 Mar 2018.

if circle - circumference 2 x pi x r
semicircle - if further away gets closer again. Distance actually 3r.
linear distance through earth - no reason can't do with dream travel? Except partial success ends up inside the planet?

Is distance actually 3x the 285 miles ?don't think so.
[drawing circle map - approximate with pythagoras - 565 miles.]


*fails initial Y/N condition - doing more portals.

21:58, Today: Garek rolled 571 using 1d808.  random distance.
21:58, Today: Garek rolled 250 using 1d808.  random distance.
21:58, Today: Garek rolled 144 using 1d808.  random distance.

Total questions used: 11

144- approximating with pythagoras would give 204 miles.

Lynn, Drax, Harcourt, Garek, Gaynor, Antaeus, Marsa = 7 characters.
-6 to power score.
204 miles = 8 PSPs each [56 per attempt]
adjusted power score: 6 or less.
roll of 14 = 80% short; now 20% closer.
Distance now = 163 miles.

11:04, Today: Garek rolled 83 using 1d100.  Layout - prisoner cavern near entrance (33%).
-worst 17%, relatively deep within; have to cut way through approx 5 other major humanoid encampments to reach. Which is fine in that we may need to employ scorched earth to prevent the camp continuing to operate.
-may not be caverns so much as various rooms, tunnels, etc.

Hills - near water table (lake); so doesn't go down far.
Single level. Arranging primary rooms so doesn't go 'across' a huge amount.

Likely to be some orcs/goblins living outside near lake, plus d4 spelljammer ships parked at a given time.
Some orcs may also go out foraging for meat.
Other food ? - captured from ships; fished from lake (feeds goblins)

No secret door from F.



13:29, Today: Garek rolled 59 using 1d100.  Lake in meteorite crater (30%).
-lake due to runoff from hills + natural depression, not a meteor crater (which would've put caves in sheer cliff face).


OGRE TREASURE TYPE: Individuals M (X 10), Q,B,S in lair.
Orc: Individuals L - C,O, Q(x10),S in lair.
Lair treasure is for 30-300 orcs.

Large # goblins etc. outside since this has the most living space. Defensively poor, but badly organized due to half-ogre in charge (overruling scro). Estimate 40 to 50 casualties (2 x cathedral-sized 33,000 cubic ft area).


Harcourt: drinks invisibility potion, moves somewhat close (100 ft), 2 fireballs max. should clear area.
Leaves:
-a goblin fishing boat
-2 spelljammers, unlikely to have anyone onboard.

Drax: drinks potion of hill giant strength (+3,+7). Duration:
4+d4[1] turns.
Antaeus - attempts short-range teleport grabbing Garek and Gaynor, who have bows.

06:15, Today: Garek rolled 19 using 1d20.  Antaeus teleport roll. :0 Success!

Drax - has antaeus' shortbow.
06:23, Today: Garek rolled 9,5 using d20,d20.  Drax - bow of speed. - kills 2 more.

Any survivors ?? Seems unlikely

NOTE:
06:24, Today: Garek rolled 16,14 using d20,d20.  Roll for preliminary telepathic scan of area.
Would get a few in weird spots.

Goblins - possibly a few wargs around (sleeping somewhere).

06:26, Today: Garek rolled 16 using 1d100.  Likelihood of any missed in initial assault (higher - less). Say d6 wargs.

06:27, Today: Garek rolled 4 using 1d6.  wargs.
[would've picked up as sentient with telepathic scan; just haven't killed with attacks yet.
Might be deliberately set up as guards
Remaining - Marsa, Lynn]
Wargs - likely to hooooowl and so alert targets inside.

06:30, Today: Garek rolled 24 using 1d100.  likelihood of ogre being outside (33%).
07:23, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d20.  ogre save.
