I belive that to be a sufficient outcome for our vulcan friend. Also, I think falryx is off skiing or so this week, so I'll act for Nadim.Rolls

Making it throught the jungle here is an extended task. There are dangers here, poisenous plants for example. You may evaluate the plants (Reason+Science or Empathy+Medicine), use basic survival skills to get through (Control+Security) or anything else you can come up with that will fit the story. (Since this is a pbp, I'll assume you come up with stuff that makes sense, if things get out of hand we'll do things differently next time.)This extended task has a Progress Track of 16, a Magnitude of 3 and a basic Difficulty of 4 for Tasks to overcome it. Since you are trying to maintain a decent pace, you may only attempt a maximum of three Tasks (total) to overcome this Obstacle. For each successive Task attemted by the same character the Obstacle increases in diffuculty by +1.
Quote:
Whenever a Task is completed towards an Extended Task, that character rolls two [CD], plus a numberof additional [CD] equal to Skill used for that Task. The total rolled is the number of points of Progress
marked off. If the total is five or more, then there is also a Breakthrough made on that Extended Task.
Further, if the last point of Progress is marked off, or if all the Progress has been marked off before the
Task was attempted, a Breakthrough is made. This means that, potentially, two Breakthroughs can be
made from a single Task – one for a total of five or more, and one from either marking off all the
Progress or attempting the Task when all the Progress has been marked off.
Each Breakthrough reduces the difficulty of all further Tasks on that Extended Task by one, and when a
number of Breakthroughs have been made equal to the Magnitude of the Extended Task, the Extended
Task has been completely overcome.
When rolling [CD] against an Extended Task, the character may spend one Momentum (Repeatable) to
add +1 to the total rolled
OOC:
As I read this: The goal is to get to get 3 Breakthroughs, and breakthroughs are scored by either getting 5 or more progress on a Task, or finishing 16 on the progress track. Note that the difficuly goes down for each breakthrough.

anyone mind if Thyran gives it a go? Good chance of a breakthrough to reduce difficulty with 7CD

Sevek pulls out his tricorder to take some readings and then inspects the local flora for any known indicators of poisonous or otherwise dangerous plants or presence of dangerous animals.

Following Mr. Sevek's instructions to avoid harmful flora & phaser in hand in case he encounters the dangerous fauna, Thyran charts a course to take them in the direction of the outpost, ensuring that they stay on course and don't wander off. Although from an icy homeworld, he is quite familiar with looking for the moss on the north side of a tree, so uses his nature and survival training to guide the crew.
5 success, 8 points of progress, so used one momentum, but added either 1 or 2 back into the pool
Breakthrough because 5+ points of progress rolled, so Difficulty is reduced by 1
OOC:
I should have waited for Sevek to roll his 7CDs to see if he made a breakthrough, reducing difficulty to 3. 5 success, 8 points of progress, so used one momentum, but added either 1 or 2 back into the pool

Thyran, wouldn't yours be 2 breakthroughs? 1 for 5+ and 1 for hitting more than 16 for the progress track? Same for Sevek?Dec 22, 2016 9:30 pm
OOC:
by my count, Sevek got 4 points of progress, so no breakthrough, and Thyran got 8 points for one breakthrough. We now have a total of 14/16 points. I'm counting CD as 0 for (3,4), 1 for (1,5,6), 2 for 2. Not sure if "effects" are in effect, but Sevek and Thyran each triggered 2. The next person has an opportunity to complete the extended task with a good CD roll, 5+ & beat the 16 total.
Dec 23, 2016 12:55 pm
OOC:
Cumbrian is right, I've got: Sevek:
4 sucesses, 1 complication
4 progress, 2 effects
No breakthrough
Thyran: - spent 1 momentum, added 1 (no change in group momentum)
5 successes
8 successes, 2 effects
Breakthrough
Difficulty is now 3, 1 Breakthrough achieved, 2 more needed. Progress is 12. You will need 4 progress in the last task. [...insert drumroll...]

Phenna tries to apply her scientific training and cold logic to the task.
5 successes (2 from determination, 1 from the 10, and 2 from the 1) = +2 momentum?
4 progress w/ 3 effects
yes?

Quite right. 6 Successes, whole of 2 Breakthroughs, and You make it! +2 momentum, and deducting the one you used, the party now has 3 momentum!The science station is intact, but heavy damage is evident along the structure’s exterior: mostly dents and punctures mar the surface, but a few areas of phaser fire are evident as well.
Inside the outpost, the place has been trashed. From the living quarters to the kitchen to the laboratories, it is obvious someone or something wrecked the place without regard. All communication devices have been smashed.
As you are ready to give up on your search for life, you find one last storage area with the door closed and locked. You hear a voice from inside.
Dec 23, 2016 3:20 pm
On a cot at the back of the storage area sits a middle-aged human woman. She cradles in her arms a human male. It is hard to tell his age because of his strange appearance. His sweat-soaked face is covered with hair, and even as they watch, the ridges of his eyebrows twitch and pulse, as if changing in sporadic fits.
When you enter, the woman looks up at you, her eyes unfocused and filled with tears. "Thank you for coming, but It’s too late. They are all gone, and Jasper is..." She cannot finish her thought through her sobbing.

Oh, I almost forgot. For your excellent success in getting here unscathed you can all have +1 point of determination.

Nadim blunders in, medical equipment veritably popping out of his bag into his hands with a mixture of excitement and concern. "Jasper is this man here?" he asks as he begins to take readings and look at how to stabilize the patient. Although tempted to provide a sedative, his training reminds him that he should understand the patient's condition before he starts jabbing him with a hypo spray.
OOC:
Assuming this is Empathy + Medicine (11 + 4 = 15). Note that Emergency Medicine is a focus -- so I'm tempted to try and suggest it qualifies here.Rolls
Empathy + Medicine (15) - (1d20, 1d20)

Let me know if the difficulty is > 2, and if so I'll either use determination or momentum to help out (or ask for some assistance from our friendly Science Officer)Dec 26, 2016 6:36 pm
Nadim takes out his field medical kit and gets to work. Dr. Jasper seems to have been beaten severely, seemingly by the primitive humanoids you encountered earlier, judging by the wounds (blunt trauma and some shallow jagged puncture wounds). He is in need of immediate surgery, so Nadim takes out a field surgery kit and extracts debris from the wounds. After about half an hour of intense surgery Nadim is able to stabilize the patient. Dr. Shipp is watching the proceedings in a near shock-like state.
