Message:

No More Make-rolls, instead use a Force Point (very high cost). The day was a small blood-bath of missed rolls.

We finished mission one and found the leader of the Spectres, convincing him to join the Rebel Alliance. That was the end of our luck.

We were off to +^+Sidebar Zeta ~ Travel to Dantooine (Ten o'clock, Outer Rim). Run imperial blockade. Use Map Space. Reward: Gain XP. Bonus: Gain +1 Pip on next adventure on Map Space. Climax: One roll plus sub-Boss (random).

We completed that sidebar and gained the XP; however, we were left critically injured. Garo was at the point of dropping gear. We could start the second part of the Main mission or capitalize on the +1 Space Map bonus.

Prime Mission Two: Intercept the courier along the route Scarif to Coruscant, who is carrying a message from Colonel Ronan of Scarif (Four o'clock, Outer Rim) to Grand Moff Tarkin on Coruscant (Twelve o'clock, Core Planets). Ronan leads Imperial Military Department of Advanced Weapons Research.

There are five potential stop points between the two systems. Depending upon the intercept place the DefMod changes, but any delay in strike-decision (with each pick and abort) the global DefMod changes for the worse. Plus you cannot go backward. e.g., If you select Alderaan as first choice, you are stuck w/ Alderaan.

We decided to jump (still badly injured) to a second Sidebar. +^+Sidebar Gamma ~ Travel to Tython (Deep Core). Transport trade delegate. Use Map Space. Reward: Add Force Point. Climax: One roll .

Almost immediately we hit the SNAFU of having all our own failed rolls causing damage to others. Still we eked our way to the end of the session and earned a reset. All HP restored, yeah!

Yet Pax had, shall we say typical, bad luck. He had four rolls of “1’s” and saw four pieces of gear go bye-bye from broken gear rolls. Two others were suffered by the party and the expenses totaled 15 $$$ Credits in repairs.

We are alive and still escorting the Trade Delegate into next week.

Next week we will try voice on DISCORD.

More later.






Yours,

IronRed
