Helios should consider how he plans to infiltrate the communications building (eventually). Fighting their way in is a tough task for a building full or people on multiple floors. Perhaps the 'steal a uniform' trope? Stealth? Climb? Hack/Slice? Fly to the top? I mean, even if the guards are distracted by marchers, that just gets you on the grounds of the property.

FYI, this is a standard modern-version office building. About 20-30 floors. Satellite array at the top. Maybe an exterior elevator lift in addition to ones inside.

Good points. I'll have him look for a sitter that can fly that would be his preffered method.

Whether you USE the speeder or not is up to you. Some things will unfold shortly, but you can consider your options with others.

I think you added a few extra dice to that one!! You can keep the roll, minus the last two (extra) yellow dice (yielding zero successes and a Triumph) or you can reroll the whole thing. I suppose the Boost is okay for now. It works like a specialized skill, in a way.

Lol my bad. I am not sure How I missed that I did that. Ill just re roll let fate decide what happens.

So I failed the check but got a crap ton of advantages, so maybe I dont know what the specs of the vehicle are but the maximum altitude is listed on an altitude gauge.

1 Failure, 6 Advantages

Anything you might need that could be left in the vehicle? Smoke grenades? Stun grenades? Or those 'immobilizer' goo grenades? Or, a uniform? Gear? Breath masks?

The car is obviously NOT atmospheric, nor is it restricted to merely 5-10m off the ground. Somewhere in between. I would agree that it has an "Altimeter", but just not with inscribed numbers. Close enough, can test it out some. Who would figure that'd you'd fail that roll? (Twice!?)

Nah, just somewhere to put down some numbers. I SWEAR I wrote down the Hyperfoil stats earlier in the week, either on paper or in a text doc. Frustrated I cannot find them. It may or may not come into play.

Hell wouldn't have had fear with him at the game. So a rifle and perhaps a pistol for over off the npcs. A uniform would be good to or armor iof some sort.

Maybe a uniform/riot gear? Since the protests go on for a while, perhaps they can speed back to the hangar and get their stuff? Then jump right back?

Sound like a plan. Can't really do anything without our gear.

A break isn't a bad thing. The A-Squad took up most of my time tonight. Doled out XP and need to come up with the next IC/OOC threads.

Standard Gerrenthum City guard uniform. The same one worn by city guard, the ones whom the Imperials are directing for the riot control.

I keep on typing Monty for Cpt (Major)( Kettel. They BOTH have Leadership skills and the Command Talent. Two ongoing games at the same time. :/




Hell's time to shine (Deception) and get us into that building. (Crap! IC did not post!! Need to retype!) He can roll versus Red-Red ImageImageand fast-talk us into the building past the guards at the front door, spinning a story. The local head-guardsman is the better discipline.

Wow! Going to take a minute on this one!!

On one hand, Kettel is in a uniform. An outright, "You're Rebel Scum!" isnt appropriate at this point.

Could be that they lock it all down, but it is not like the building is a target, or anything, to warrant that.

The upgrade is from their trained discipline skill. I like to consider it is Imperial training. I am open to ideas and will think a bit on it.

Off today for car repair (again). Good to have some PBP to run with. TotOR is facing some kind of Force Monster from a laboratory. My PC has Suppress...a GREAT power many neglect.

I figured that they would want to escort us for the despair. The failure they might take us somewhere besides where we asked. A secondary control perhaps witch could be more easily overridden by a main control room. Something like that or something else.

You still should answer (IC) for the question posed and maybe a ,"Sorry, sir" for the 'errant' flying. Or, whatever!!! I will ponder some more upon your suggestions. First 85 F day today. So hot after all that cool weather this spring.
