Where is the difficulty table?

See p. 25 of F&D core. The same table is in EOTE and AOR, as well. Lockpicking is one of the standard examples they use to distinguish difficulty levels. (And, again, these might be really expensive, high-end cuffs, which would warrant the PPPP difficulty.)

Trip, you sure about Difficulty (PPPP) for the cuffs? The Difficulty table in the CRB says 4 Purple is for "an exceptionally sophisticated lock." Generally, binders should be easier to pick than to break out of by sheer brute strength or coordination. That said, perhaps these are very high-end binde...

Check this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5 There are some games with openings you might be able to join.

"Ambient background noise......binary loaders.....equipment purchases......Alamy, your information sounds awfully suspicious given the outcome. You care to clarify?" With that, Monty will search the nearby crate for traps, open it if it's okay, and begin to go through its contents while he listens....

Difficulty to pick the cuffs? Sounds like Anjali's providing an assist, perhaps by looking and telling AAA where the keyhole is.

GRRWOEEELLW!!! (Welcome! Hope you find a game you'll enjoy!)

Oh, wait. You're right. I thought he passed back out, but that was Hell. I edited my post so no chair flopping is required.

And let me know if any kind of check is needed to flop the chair over. I could see calling for an Athletics or Coordination check to do this safely, but I could also see just making success automatic.

Alamy then notices something in the corner of her eye: For some reason, the power generator attached to the force cage seems to have shorted out violently, strewing random parts across the floor. "Wait a sec," the Devaronian ways. "If I could just get one of those pointy bits, I could probably pick ...

OK, done. Will explain in the IC.

What about Strain? Were we at 0 or 1 when we woke up?

So, should Alamy be at 1 Strain or 2? I rolled 1 with my Cool check, but I'm not sure if we started at 0 when we woke up.

Also, Trip, are AAA's hands bound in front or behind her? Does anyone have any kind of wire she could use to Skulduggery her way out of the cuffs?

Trip, did Alamy see anything with her Farsight in the first room before she got boomed?

AAA stirs from her stupor and takes in the scene slowly as her eyes adjust.
"What the kriff happened?"

Yes, Matt! Please do something to wake the rest of us up! The fact that you're a face should make you better at something like that.

Don't forget to wake the rest of us up, too. I don't want to help plan the prison break till Alamy's up and around and can look around a bit.

Since you used a dark pip, that would include flipping a DP. I didn't flip a DP yet for the upgrade of the VIG check yet so I will leave it as net.

Aw, crap. I always forget about that part of using dark pips. Thanks for the reminder.

Eating the 1 point of Conflict for using a Dark Side pip to get Farsight up. Boo. And here's the Vigilance check that you apparently want us to fail ;P : AAA; Alpha Squad; upgraded Vigilance check + Boost: 1 Failure, 1 Threat https://riders-guild.000webhostapp.com/ability/a--.png https://riders-guil...

The darkness is unnerving. Alamy focuses on the power the nuns taught her and tries to push away the darkness, focusing on the smallest bits of light and magnifying them in her mind. AAA; Alpha Squad; Farsight check: , 1 Dark Side https://riders-guild.000webhostapp.com/force/f-ds.png Better to be aw...

OK if I try Farsight again, Trip? The first check was to try to see through the door. I feel like Alamy would have tried again once she got into the room and saw it was all dark, using the other version of the power, since each Control upgrade is effectively a different variant. I'll also use those ...

I added a Setback for the darkness; let me know if it was supposed to be 2 (for total darkness).

With the Advantage, I'll either pass on a boost to the next person to make a Stealth check (if you want them from all of us), or else I'll ask for a boost on any Perception check to come.

AAA opens the door as quietly as she can… AAA; Alpha Squad; Stealth (opening door): 1 Success, 1 Advantage https://riders-guild.000webhostapp.com/ability/a-s-a.png https://riders-guild.000webhostapp.com/proficiency/p-a-a.png https://riders-guild.000webhostapp.com/difficulty/d-th.png https://riders-g...

What would be the Stealth Difficulty to slip through the door stealthily?

AAA draws a small holdout blaster from a concealed holster. "Can't be too safe. Now should we open it all stealthy-like?"

Alamy walks up to the side door and stares at it. She lets her eyes focus, like the nuns taught her back on Devaron, trying to see through the metal to what lies beyond. AAA; Alpha Squad; Farsight check: , 1 Dark Side https://riders-guild.000webhostapp.com/force/f-ds.png Only DS rolled. Not using it...
