Part 2 OOC

OOC thread for Part 2: The Bacta Run

Why, hello everyone.

It only just occurred to me that Avox was insulting a rodian looks/manner in front of our own rodian.

A lil friction is good for a story. Bo is pretty passionate about Rodian rights and sees prejudice sometimes where there isn't any. It could be fun to play out if Avox has had bad history with Rodian and might tend to stereotype. Bo will have trouble both proving the worth of Rodian, while still being so damn offended she feels she doesn't owe Avox and the rest of the world a damn thing. I doubt she is very diplomatic in her ways to deal with it all, so expect a lil push back from her now and then.

That's fine. Avox is just an offensive angry jerk. He would probably think poorly of anyone who inconvenienced him.. He would certainly stereotype.

Figured that we can move this here in case it turns into a long conversation. Jack was built as a co-pilot, with an Agility of 3 and a point in piloting - space. He's in the Scoundrel career path, which means that buying up the Pilot specializations is cheap(er) for him. The only thing is that I don't have any Astrogation skill, and until I buy the specialization, it won't be in-career for me, aaannd his Int is a 2. Not terrible, but still! I'm all for turning Jack into a main pilot as the game progresses, but I'm open to other options too.

I think Marithyme probably understands that we built our characters with a pilot in mind and then that pilot left, and so we're proooobably not going to be forced to make any difficulty-5-piloting-checks-or-the-team-wipes kind of rolls.

I certainly do. And there will be options to procure an astromech in your future.

All good points. And now that you mention those points, I seem to recall hashing this out once previously.

Sorry ;)

Of course our GM has plans! We're in good hands.

All will be well! :)

Am working on the Bespin intro...please stand by!

We await eagerly, but dont be rushed!

Seconded!

To be clear, the plan is
Step 1: break into the recruiter station and plant the device that will auto slice the info we need into the records.
Step 2: We infiltrate the building as Imperials and walk off with some bacta.

I'm I reading this correctly?

We're going to get a list of the employees and then, if the information has anything good in it, we'll go about blackmailing and threatening said employees to get them to set up a delivery for us. If that isn't the case, we might just tie them up and assume their positions and do it ourselves. One way or another we'll make a fake delivery and take the shuttle straight to the chaser and fly out.

Alright. Bo hopes we get some dirt on an employee. She looks a bit awkward as a Rodian in an Imperial uniform. She will break in and use the device.

I was pretty happy with this plan because it gave Bo a stealth mission, gives Avox and/or other Coercers a chance to threaten some folk, and Doc can use his knowledge o' Bacta (especially when we get shot up!)

Felt like it was using every crew member.

Since this is a natural resting spot, I'm giving out some XP to spend (total 20). Post here how you spend it; feel free to discuss with each other.

I still have a plan to get you a pilot/astrogator, it just hasn't happened yet.

I'm split between getting Inspiring Rhetoric and boosting my Leadership skill (this will give me the ability to help the team recover strain on the fly), or getting Scathing Tirade and boosting my Coercion skill (this will give me the ability to curse out the enemy and make them take strain (in and out of combat from what I can tell), as well as giving them setback die on their following skill rolls).

They both look useful, and I may well get both in time, but is there a clear cut way the group wants me to go in the immediate term? Either of those look particularly more useful/appealing?

Well whilst anyone has yet to get beat up yet I've opted to spend 15 XP on a second rank of the Bacta Specialist talent so Doc's super ready to get his healing on lol. Leaves me with 10 unspent XP which I'm saving.

The xp thread is locked. We can post surve questions there if it gets unlocked?
