Star Wars Saga Edition: Storm Commando Raid

So, where is everyone on their posts?

@mattmanganon

Got a bit distracted by things. I'll have a post up before day's end. But first, I do have one question. Did any of the information Vanovar gathered mentioned where he would find Vinca or will he be needing to make a separate roll for that?

Household Adventures, a Two Little Mice game

D'Arcy having a moment of nerves: This day couldn't possibly get any worse.

Bartholomew emerging dramatically from the shadows:

Household Adventures, a Two Little Mice game

A moment after D'Arcy was done murmuring, a dark chuckle alerted the Fairy Lieutenant to the fact that he wasn't alone.

"Ah... The sweet, sweet sound of a desperate Fly. Music to my ears." Bartholomew said as he stalked out of the shadows, looking every bit the monster that the less flattering tales told about Boggarts painted them as. "Seems to me like you're in need of a helping hand." Bartholomew raised his hands then. Partly to show that he meant no harm, but mainly to aid in illustrating the old bandit's next statement. "Lucky for you, I've got two."

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Shieldwing: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!
Shieldwing: *aggressively throws water bottles*
Skobeloff: Uh... what's up with him?
Fellwing: He's trying to yell mental health and wellbeing into us.
Shieldwing: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!
Stargaze, crying: It's working.

Skobeloff: Why do you look like that?
Stargaze, laying face-first on the floor: Like what?
Skobeloff: Like you’re dead.
Stargaze: It’s because I’m dying. Leave me here to perish.
Shieldwing: Stargaze accidentally called Fellwing a seer in front of everyone today.
Stargaze: *sobs into the floor*

Stargaze, texting Fellwing: Fellwing! Help I'm being kidnapped!
Fellwing: Where are you?
Stargaze: I'm with some strange person. In a car. Help.
Fellwing: I'll call Skobeloff.
Skobeloff, answering their cell: Y'ello?
Fellwing: Where's Stargaze? They texted me that they were being kidnapped.
Skobeloff: Stargaze? Whaddya mean, they're right next to me-
Skobeloff:
Skobeloff: I'll call you back. *Hangs up*
Skobeloff: THE NEW HORNS AREN'T THAT BAD!
Stargaze: WHO ARE YOU!?

Fellwing: What have you done with Shieldwing?
Skobeloff: Nothing. Why, do you think I should?

Skobeloff: Watcha doin?
Stargaze: Stealing my neighbour’s cat.
Skobeloff: Scandalous.
Skobeloff: Can I help?

Skobeloff: BE A BETTER PERSON!
Fellwing: WHY?!
Skobeloff: BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE MORALS, AND IT SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GONNA BE ME!

Shapeshifter: *transforms to look like Skobeloff*
Skobeloff: Okay, are you like BLIND? You look nothing like me. First off, I'm way taller. Secondly, I DO NOT look so sleep deprived and lastly, if you could put some polish on those horns you're like a 7 on a good day and I've been told I'm a constant 10.

How high can we count before a mod gets involved?

Planescape: Search for Tir na Og

Fyodor Strelnikov

Fyodor noticed Ulgad down the rest of his drink and, taking that as a sign that they would be moving on soon, quickly finished his own wine just in time to place his glass down at the same time as Ulgad.

"But enough of that!" Ulgad said then. "We should get going."

"I suppose we should." Fyodor said as Ulgad glanced towards the door to the wine cellar. "If we delay too long, the expedition will leave without us."

"Hopefully those two have passed on..." Ulgad said before pausing for a moment, looking thoughtful about something. "You know..." The gnoll spoke again, his voice quiet so as not to attract the attention of either Jarret or Wynvere. "The woman the Mercykiller was with. The one with the cat? Think I've seen her about before, though I can't exactly place where." The gnoll paused for a moment longer before shrugging. "It'll come back to me. Or not. Doesn't really matter much either way."

"Nothing ever does." Fyodor replied to that final statement.

"Hope she knows what she's doing hanging around with a guy like that." Ulgad added after a short chuckle. "They didn't exactly seem to be friends."

Fyodor opened his mouth to say something, but closed it quickly when a pat on the back from Ulgad startled the words from his mind.

"Alright!" The gnoll raised his voice then to get the attention of the other Bleakers. "Let's head out."

Fyodor rose from his seat, pausing a moment to allow Wynvere to quickly dart past him before moving to follow.

"We could have had one more drink," The sound of Jarret's words reached Fyodor's ears, making him pause and turn back to the Halfling.

"The time for drinking has passed." Fyodor said to Jarret before gesturing for him to follow the rest of the group. "Now is the time to face the bleakness of existence and do what little we can."

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I have admittedly missed much these past months. Uhm what's the gist of what I missed?

@Dark Cloud

Brut and Jub have been chased out of Hither by angry bullywugs. The rest of the party then aided a bullywug night in Game of Thrones shenanigans. Also, Bavlorna's run off somewhere else after Charm stoked the hag's paranoia around the party knowing her weakness.

Star Wars Saga Edition: Storm Commando Raid

I do need to know what kinds of questions you are asking?

@mattmanganon

I was trying to perform the Learn News and Rumors action detailed on the Gather Information page of the wiki. So I guess Vanovar would be scanning HoloNet news broadcasts or perusing information kiosks for the latest major news stories and mingling with the locals to charm the recent popular rumors out of them.

I do want to apologize if i seem a little "I need specifics" as a DM, i just don't believe in the magical "I rolled a big number on the dice, now tell me everything!" style. I like to make the players actually use their brains, much to my players chagrin.

@mattmanganon

That is a perfectly valid way to go about things and I'm not going to fault you for it. But just as a reminder, more often than not the knowledge and skills of the Player Characters don't tend to line up all that well with the knowledge and skills of the Players.

Vanovar Pythis is a suave, strong space-wizard.

rush99999 is an introverted, unathletic nobody.

There are going to be times when the big number way of doing things will be necessary.

Star Wars Saga Edition: Storm Commando Raid

While the rest of his team deployed in Stormtrooper armor, Vanovar opted for a set of civilian garb that would allow him to blend in with the people of Levinian while also concealing his lightsaber. "I'm going to go press my ear to the ground." The Inquisitor announced the minute the team arrived in the city. "I will likely be gone for a few hours. I'll have my comlink with me if anything comes up on your end." With that said, Vanovar vanished into the crowd and spent the next six hours digging up as much of the latest word on the street as he could find.

Vanovar spends the next 6 hours Taking 10 on a Gather Information check to Learn News and Rumors.
