AD-hoc

AD‐hoc was about to reply to Ken that his advice wasn't needed, but to anyone watching, it most likely appeared that the Droid didn't know what he was doing. "Thank you, attempting to reduce velocity now." Sure, AD-hoc knew what needed to be done, but actually executing it....

That's the most amazing roll ever. Especially at such a wrong time.

I'll leave this hanging for a bit to see what/if anyone else wants to do.

Tomas sees Ad-Hoc in trouble and leans over in his direction to see what he might be able to do for him...

Can Ken use his Advantages to try and get down to AD-Hoc, try and nudge him up, shout which cable to pull etc?

AD-hoc is mentally noting that this is one instance he wishes he had fewer components installed internally.

OOC:
Ok, so anyone can attempt a Hard (3P) Piloting check to fly up to and push AD-hoc in the right direction. Success will mean he gets a piloting roll to regain control, failure means his next roll is to mitigate crash damage. Ken, since you asked, you can choose to RP feeding AD-hoc instructions to change those advantages into bonus dice for him on the next roll.

Circling above the rapidly plummeting droid, Ken focuses on his commlink, he tries to envisage in words what he does instinctively when flying the paraglider. He's got to give clear and unambiguous instructions the overly literal droid can understand and follow.

'Listen to me carefully AD-Hoc. Use your right hand to pull the blue handle above you, that'll give you some lift. Now, grab the yellow cord with your left hand and gently slide it down, that will turn you to the left and start a slower downward spiral. If it turns too fast let it slip back a little. Keep the balance, right hand, left hand. Now legs up and brace for impact in...'

Tomas continues to ease his way toward Ad-Hoc, but when he hears instructions from Ken he breaks off pursuit... but not too much.
OOC:
And yes, Tomas has a new look. The joke of the old avatar got old. :)

With others working to help AD-hoc, Meebo moves to stay out of the way. Then he starts thinking about what repairs he can do to a droid with the limited tools he brought with him.

"Ad-hoc! I've got you buddy!" Nox shouts over the roaring rush of wind. He swoops down to help his droid pal hopefully not crash.

As AD-hoc is listening intently to ken, and trying to watch his movement in order to mimic them later, he is surprised by a slight nudge.
He turns back to find that Nox has gently prodded him in the right direction. It was now or never to put all their help to good use . . .

AD-hoc follows Ken's direction and with the nudge from Nox pulls out of his dive. He's lost a lot of altitude and will have to set down soon. Nox is in a similar position, having sacrificed his altitude and speed to assist AD-hoc. He'll need to be picking a spot to land soon. The others are still high enough to make most of the distance to the edge of town before landing, if they choose.
OOC:
You guys were aiming to land about 2 klicks from the ships. AD-hoc will be hitting the ground landing around 5 klicks out and Nox will need to come down pretty soon after.

Nox falls in behind AD-hoc, aiming to land nearby to him. If they are going to have a hike then its better to go it together.

Tomas realizes they're much farther out than expected. He figures, "Well, that's just a great start to this insanity." But it's still a strange(?) relief to see Ad-Hoc getting righted.

It's also with some pleasure that Tomas feels the wind in his face and in his hair, and sees the landscape as it passes by. "There's always beauty if you know how to see it, and feel it..."

lol, is a check needed to hit the ground land? Also, what is between when AD-hoc will land and where he was supposed to land? grassland? mountains? jungle? cattle?

Watching AD-hoc and Nox getting close to the ground, Ken looks out into the distance to see the planned landing site. 'Nice flying you two. I'm going to come down about a kilometre ahead of AD-hoc,' he says over the comlink and looks for somewhere to come down and secure a defendable firing position.
OOC:
Ken will try and land about 3 1/2 km out from the target (i.e. about 1 1/2 km from where AD-Hoc and Nox are landing) He'll wait for them to catch up and try and keep a secure postion in the meantime

Meebo makes a high-pitced sound that is barely within the hearing range of most species - a chadra-fan obscenity of sorts. He doesn't like the idea of splitting up, but he's also not keen on talking about it over the comms. He thinks briefly about following Ken, but decides he doesn't want to leave his buddy Nox behind. So he glides down to where he and AD-hoc are landing.

Tomas sees what the others are doing and figures someone should probably be with Ken, and aims to land near him. He's quite frustrated that things are already not going according to plan. He chides himself. He knows it's just fear.
