Once clear of the feasting, you move towards the mountain again. After about an hour of, it looks like it's just past the next tree, finally you step past the last tree. The 'clearing' is really an area, roughly rectangular, about 100 meters across, covered in waist high shrub and bushy type plants. Across the 'clearing' is a recessed area into the mountain, maybe 10 meters by 10 meters. What is in the darkness of the opening is impossible to say from here.
Now you see me

The four of you ease away from the creatures, AD-hoc's occasional clanks draw a look. But he's so far out of their search pattern and the fresh meat in their mouths is far more interesting.

Ken shrugs. He's clearly okay with the idea of AD-hoc acting as canary in the coal mine. But he takes the opportunity to creep as close to the opening as he can while staying in cover, keeping his blaster drawn and using his scanner goggles to peer into the gloom around the opening.

Taking a sign from Ken's cautiousness, AD-hoc takes the hammer from his back into his hands, and wades into the grass toward the opening.

His rifle drawn Zailor follows a little behind AD-hoc, but he keeps trying to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.
OOC:
Does the career background have any influence on gameplay? Like would the big game hunter give me any insight I to what kind of wildlife we might should expect around here or anything along those lines?May 10, 2025 4:10 pm
OOC:
Absolutely. The Career gives you page of Talents that you can pick. Your character sheet shows you have:Forager - Remove up to 2 setback dice from skill checks to find food, water, or shelter. Survival checks to forage take half the time.
Grit - Gain +1 to your strain threshold.
Stalker - Add 1 boost die per rank of stalker to all Stealth and Coordination checks.
Also, If your making a Knowledge check to 'know something' and it's specific to your Career, then I'd certainly approve of a Boost die on that roll.

As you approach the dark opening, Ken's Scanner googles allow him to peer deeper than the rest. He can see a set of large doors, possibly like hangar doors. They seem closed and sitting undisturbed.
May 10, 2025 10:30 pm
Ken messages the others over his comlink. 'Large doors up ahead. Big enough to be hangar doors. No signs of activity.' He moves in closer to cover AD-hoc.

AD-hoc will approach the door to try and see if any mechanical or computer locks exist
May 14, 2025 12:48 pm
AD-hoc approaches the door and clearly he can see the mechanism holding the door closed. The design is crafted different to anything he's seen, but the workings appear obvious. There would be a mechanical override inside the door, but from this side it would normally be powered. Alas, at the initial glance, there are no signs of power.
OOC:
Give me an idea how you'd like to handle it, brute force it, disassemble it, try and power it, etc. May 14, 2025 8:07 pm
AD-hoc will do a quick search of the area to see is there is any power source that can be connected or re-directed to the lock. "If there is no power source available, we may have to force the door open. "

Creds pulls on a set of data goggles and tries to make sense of the door. He thinks he may have some idea of where it might have seen something similar...

Guessing it's either Knowledge (Outer Rim) or (Warfare); either way, untrained. Data Goggles add +1 Success.Last edited May 15, 2025 4:03 pm

AD-hoc replies to Ken "It would most definitely help to open the door, but may make it hard to securely close it later."

OOC:
@crazybirdman, The check to notice power wouldn't have been that hard, but there are no obvious or accessible power sources handy. If your going to go 'through' the lock, the choice is to take it apart so it could be repaired or to 'cut it' such that it would be rendered useless. Creds scanning goggles produced and advantage, some little piece of info he could pass to you for a boost die. Ken's cutter would also assist in making some parts of the process faster or easier for both methods.Dismantle for later use (15min base time) would be your Mechanics + 2 boost vs. Hard (3 purple) and any other bonuses you have.
Disassemble for good (5 min base time) would be your Mechanics + 2 boost vs. Average (2 purple) and any other bonuses you have.

AD-hoc accepts the fusion cutter and says "I'll do this the long way, that way we can close this again if needed. This shouldn't take too long. Please don't stray too far." then sets to work.

Creds also got 1 success. What can he ascertain about the door's origins? Looking for some context to place it, whether how old it is, or who likely manufactured it, etc.May 15, 2025 8:34 pm
Ken looks a little put out at not getting to play with his cutter which he's been hauling about in the ship without the chance to use it. If he can he'll get AD-hoc to let him have a go.
