Chapter 1 - Lantillies

Bringing up shields, and scanning the target.

OOC:

So, it's a fail, but with three advantage. Would it be possible to use the advantage to tell system strain and hull trauma?

Ken lets out a little cheer, 'Wamma je me keepuna haku uba naba!' and fires a warning shot across the pursuing ship's bows.

OOC:

Not sure about difficulty for a deliberate shot across the bows so I'm saying average

Blih just make sure he stays out of the way of those who seems to know what to do in a space battle.

Feb 4, 2021 7:47 pm

Pergano looks to his crew in the cockpit and smiles Hold on tight just then one arm reaches for the accelerater and increases it the maximum and he moves into a flanking position on the pursuing craft.

OOC:

This would be a "Punch it" manuever and a "Gain Advantage" Action I am going to guess our max speed is similar to their max speed so that would be an average check

edit: my spelling was terrible fixed a little lol

'Who's on communications?' asks Ken. 'I've fired a warning shot, do you want to see if they surrender?'

OOC:

Communication seems like a decent job for Blih, where would it be setup?

OOC:

Comms/Sensors is right rear seat on the bridge, currently un-occupied.

Ken's shot leaps out and cuts the space between the other two ships. As Blih slides into the comms seat, incoming messages start arriving on the console. The first is from the lead ship, "By the stars, Dancy is that you?" The second message is a little more terse "Hey you, bugger off, this is a private matter."

Pergano rams the throttle to full and you all feel the brief lurch as the ship screams forward, seconds later, there's a slight flicker in the lights as AD-hoc re-distributes power to the forward shields.

OOC:

Ok, Here we go. I'd like a cool roll for Init and a description of what you'd like to do in the next round, if your action requires dice, go ahead and roll. If you have Advantages, toss some ooc notes on how you might use them. Feel free to PM me with questions or hit the OOC thread for group discussion. Once I have everyone's responses, I'll put it together with the NPCs actions.

Feb 5, 2021 6:16 pm

Blih will start responding to the messages.

At the first he quickly send "Hang on tight, we got your back"

At the pursuer "We have business with this ship. Our sister ship as already been notified and is on its way. You are outnumbered and outgunned. I suggest you cut your loss and stand down."

I'm assuming I can do this from engineering. Not sure if the target has anything that would make the check more difficult.

Ken cycles the heavy blaster cannon and tries to acquire a clean shot on the pursuing ship.

OOC:

Ken will hold his action until the pursuing ship is within his arc of fire and in range. Then he'll open up on them. I'm assuming similar silhouettes

OOC:

Ah, forgot to Aim, bloody space combat. Can Ken use his Advantage and manoeuvre to Assist the pilot in manoeuvring into a better position, perhaps by cutting the pursuing ship's path with his blaster cannon fire

Pergano will try and keep his manuevering advantage over the enemy ship while simultaneously getting the ship into better firing position.

OOC:

so a "Stay on Target" manuever and another "Gain Advantage" Action. while using previous advantage get heal some system strain.

oddtrails Inactive forever!

OOC:

Note on Ship Strain, unlike personal combat, removing ship strain has to be the result of an action instead of just spending Advantage, on the upside, you currently have no ship strain :)

Oddtrails tossed in an extra difficulty on the Sensors roll, my standard is just going to be chopping off the last die if anyone rolls too many :) and Yes, using Advantage to dig out extra details is perfect. So great roll.

Jeswain scans the ships and Identifies the lead ship as a YT-1000 shields shifted to the rear and showing some slight system strain. The trailing ship is a ZH-25 Questor, shields shifted to double front with no current strain.

[ +- ] The Ships

Pergano maneuvered the Longshot into a chase position behind the Questor as Ken smiles at the lack of rear shields on the pursuing and now pursued ship. You close into Short range and Ken delivers a volley of shots across the rear of the ship. Sparks Fly!

Your target forgoes it's attack to rebalance it's shields and the lead ship takes the opportunity to switch tactics. Instead of 'full evasion' he steadies up his flight and then his turret delivers a volley across the front of the ship. SPLAT SPLAT

Blih offers the now surrounded ship some helpful 'Advice' :D

AD-hoc, working from engineering, transmits some nasty bits of code in the direction of the enemy ship. Several of the exterior lights flicker and one of the engines loses thrust for just a second.

OOC:

Notes for next round -

AD-hoc, with out dedicated Ship hacking gear, there's a limit to how much you can do. Love the effort and thought :D

Pergano has a Boost die (blue) on his next piloting check since Ken spent his advantage to assist, we'll assume their reaction to being hit was to veer in an obvious direction making Pergano's job easier.

Ken, you are correct on same silhouettes and now that they have balanced their shields, that gives a Setback die (black) on the roll.

Blih, your Deception was successful, they are just not saying anything you can hear. And after that round, I'm not sure much of what you said was a deception. :)

Round 2 Actions when you can

Jeswain turns his attention to handling any auxiliary systems and equipment so Pergano can keep his focus on piloting.

OOC:

Each success on copilot check downgrades difficulty of the pilot's next piloting check by 1.

Blih will stay available on comm and simply see how the situation evolves for the moment.

Pergano keeps his eyes on the ship ahead of him and works to keep him in the best position for Ken.

OOC:

Let's keep this rolling, Stay on Target manuever, Gain the Advantage action, adding that boost

edit: and I believe with my advantages I can pass a boost to Ken for next round

Ken's second volley digs a furrow right up the back of the ship, bits of armor and hull spin off into space and several electrical flashes can be seen arcing across the ship.

The enemy ship peels off pursuit, shifts their shields to double rear. "Alright, you've made your point, you can have them."

They seem to being trying to squeeze a little more speed out of their ship as they try and escape.

The lead ship breaks in the opposite direction, increasing their distance from their former attacker.

For now, Pergano easily keeps the ship in your sights.

OOC:

Your call, you guys can break off and meet Dancy's contact or continue the fight. If so, Ken you've got a boost from Pergano's flying. Oh, and that Crit was nasty :)
