OOC for GRC

[SavageBob]

Buimo fully intends to check over the map, but I thought we might still want to familiarize ourselves with our competition before we headed back to the ship. But if folks are eager to advance the story, we can just call it a night (in game) and all head back to the ship to familiarize ourselves with the course and the ship. Is that what people are feeling?

[SavageBob]

@Boutrose Saba-Norr @Kal Drahr @ThreeBFour, what do y'all think?

[ThreeBFour]

I don't mind getting on to the main event.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

Ah man I thought I made a post on here the other day, looks like it never posted.

Yes I definitely want to get details on the other racers, and also when I was thinking of looking over the map I was thinking of maybe looking specifically for traps, after I do my astrogation check could I use like a skull duggery or street smarts to try and figure out where dangerous points might be?

[kanila]

I'll allow a hard skuldugerry check

[SavageBob]

As navigator, Buimo will want to study the map, too. Should that be a separate check, or would he and Vo be able to combine forces (in this case, Vo contributing a boost die to Buimo, I think)?

As for the narrative, if folks are ready to move on, could we do a couple of quick rolls for general knowledge-gathering, Kanila? I.e., rather than roleplaying a bunch of stuff out, just a general Streetwise roll to see if we were able to gather any useful rumors about fellow racers, and maybe a second to see if we gathered any rumors about the families who control the station? Otherwise, we need someone to say "Forget it; let's go back to the ship," which we can do.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

True true maybe just rolling a group streetwise or knowledge check followed by combined astrogation and skullduggery check.

[ThreeBFour]

Runt is unskilled in all 3 areas, but has a 4 INT and 3 CUN for unskilled assistance that could be easily added for IC post.

[kanila]

I'll allow the rolls to speed up the process.

[SavageBob]

I'll allow the rolls to speed up the process.

How many Streetwise checks do you want? One for both rumors about the owners of the station AND intel/rumors about our fellow racers? Or two? And what difficulties?

[kanila]

Other racers will be average

Crime families will be hard with a setback. Setback because I'm guessing you want to remain discreet.

[SavageBob]

Looks like Buimo and Sol have the same pool for Streetwise. Here's the roll for the other racers, with 3 boosts for the other PCs. If that's too many boosts, remove the last one or two, and it's a failure, I think.

Spoiler:

Buimo; Galactic Racing Circuit; Streetwise:
1 Success, 2 Advantages

[kanila]

I'll allow the boosts. I'm gonna be busy most of the day so I'll try to work on something tonight or tomorrow for that roll.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

should we wait til after the streetwise is resolved to make the astrogation and skullduggery checks. or could we roll them now?

[kanila]

You can roll that now.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

sol has 1 skulduggery with 3 cun, vo, and buimo both also have 3 cun, buimo has 2 astrogation so do we want to just do the rolls as group checks?

[SavageBob]

sol has 1 skulduggery with 3 cun, vo, and buimo both also have 3 cun, buimo has 2 astrogation so do we want to just do the rolls as group checks?

I figured Buimo would definitely be scrutinizing the map, so the Astrogation roll would be GYY + however many boosts from the others (probably 1 would make sense, but three or more folks looking at a small datapad doesn't make sense to me). Ditto the Skulduggery, but someone else may want to take lead on that, with Buimo providing a boost.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

yea that sounds good, I think even though sol has more skullduggery it would make sense for Vo to make the lead check since he is the pilot. so vo will support buimo on the astrogation to give him a boost and have sol support him on the skullduggery.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

@SavageBob if you wanted to make the astrogation check with a boost for vo assisting, i want to wait til afterward to make the skullduggery since it would make more sense and we can then use boosts from your roll.

[ThreeBFour]

@SavageBob if you wanted to make the astrogation check with a boost for vo assisting, i want to wait til afterward to make the skullduggery since it would make more sense and we can then use boosts from your roll.

@SavageBob is in the middle of a cross country move. He replied to a post of mine in his NIHM creation. So he might be a little delayed in responding.

[SavageBob]

I'm around for the moment at least. I'm waiting for @kanila to tell us the results of the Streetwise roll to dig up rumors about fellow racers.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

@SavageBob kanilla told us to make all the rolls now, also hope the move goes well, I’ll be moving in a few months myself.

[kanila]

I'll update the npc section tomorrow for you guys if you want to go ahead and make the other rolls.

[SavageBob]

Here's the Astrogation check. I rolled as if Buimo, Vo, and Runt were all looking at the map together (making it a combined check with a boost from Vo).

Buimo; Galactic Racing Circuit; Astrogation check (assisted):
1 Success, 1 Threat, 1 Triumph,



Even then, almost failed!

Perhaps the Triumph indicates we notice a shortcut in the course, but the Threat means it's risky somehow?

[kanila]

Ok for themap reading...

You will have 2 boosts shutting the race. For the entire race.

You have access to a single use shortcut but it will require a hard check with a setback.
