A Wretched Hive (Game Thread B) [Split Party]

Aiakos will wait until they decide to leave cover to resume their search before shooting again (as long as they keep their head down they're no threat):

Deception: :   [1d20+8] = 6+8 = 14

Attack and damage: [1d20+7] = 20+7 = 27, [3d12+2] = 23+2 = 25

[Melblen_Cairn]

BRAP!

Aiakos sends a blaster bolt from the other direction emerging from the stack of crates nearby and lifts another from the deck, a smoking burn mark on it's back. The crew return fire at both locations. One of their shots strikes the fuel container and send it rocketing to the hanger's ceiling to land burning among a salvaged proton bomb rack...

Please give me another Mechanics check.

FU-M8 continued futzing about the wiring in the place.

MECHANICS CHECK
This dice roll has been tampered with!
Rolled 1d20+14 : 16 + 14, total 30

[Melblen_Cairn]

The panels and displays flash on in the cockpit and begin responding.

Successes = 5

Completed!

[LordBlades]

As soon as the ship comes to life Aiakos grabs a hold of the throttle and stick, steering it toward the hangar exit. So long, suckers! she triumphantly mocks the remaining crewmen as the canopy slides shut.

Pilot check, in case one is needed    [1d20+5] = 10+5 = 15

[Melblen_Cairn]

The ship lifts from the deck and shakily glides toward the edge of the hanger, the stabilizers need a lot of work. One crew member points to the ship and barks an order to another as he opens fire. The subordinate races across the hanger floor to the control room in hopes of closing the doors.

The small ship shoots through the closing doors just as the hanger is engulfed in an explosion from the proton bomb that ignites from the fire.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Only when you go to begin calculating the jump to hyperspace do you realize that the nav-computer has been removed. The jump will need to be manually done. You also realize that the astrogation data is 2 years old.

Someone will need to manually calculate the hyperspace jump with use computer. No Nav computer means there is no +5 to the check and the DC=30 (due to old data) but will still only take a minute because there is some data available.

[LordBlades]

As the fighter speeds away from the ship, Aiakos turns toward the droid. Now that was close! Thanks!

[Clanjos]

"...HUH. GONNA BE HONEST, THOUGHT WE WERE HOSED BACK THERE. SO... THANKS I GUESS?"

M8 skittered over to the navcomputer, inserting the scomp link in his hand and clicking.

"OH BY THE MAKER. THIS IS AWFUL. I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN ANY REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME...

Taking 20 on a Use Computer check for astrogation. That'll get 29, but I'll need some help  to get us over 30.

"...REMIND ME, NAR SHADAA ROTATES CLOCKWISE, YES?"

[LordBlades]

Aiakos shrugs as she puts as much distance as possible between the fighter and her former shipNar Shadda? Beats me! What does it have to do with anything anyway?

(click to show/hide)

Sadly you can't take 20 on Use Computer to astrogage. Even if you could, Aiakos doesn't have Use Computer trained, so only a +2 and you can't take 10 on Aid another. Only way I could help you when taking 20 was if I had a total of +9 in Use Computer

[Melblen_Cairn]

(click to show/hide)

LB is correct. You cannot take a 20 in this case because taking a 20 represents taking time and constantly making attempts during that span. Since there are usually some consequence of making a bad check (bouncing too close to a star) this one you would need to roll for.

Well, we're fucked either way, so...

Rolled 1d20+9 : 20 + 9, total 29

Clanjos, if you want you can spend a Force Point (which allows you to add 1d6 to that roll) to simply make the DC30. Just mentinoing it in case you're not aware of this possibility.

[Melblen_Cairn]

As the cobbled together astromech completes the calculations, it signals the coordinates to the ships computer and the small vessel's hyperdrive spools up to make the jump. The stars smear and bend in front of you as the blue tunnel of hyperspace surrounds your view.

You are not traveling long before collision warnings sound, the hyperdrive begins to fail, and the ship is ripped from hyperspace. Other alarms begin to go off as other systems begin to fail as well. All around you a massive debris field, like the site of a massive battle drifts along. a piece of a blown apart droid fighter rebounds off the ship, jolting the ship.

Don't worry too much about making that roll. I normally do not like to be this heavy handed but in this instance The ship was going to start to fail anyway so no need to waste a FP on that roll.

Here Me Baby, Hold Together!

The ship begins to flounder among a dangerous debris field. Keep the ships systems up as you work to avoid collisions.
Some Suggested Skills
Mechanics
Use Computer
Pilot
Use the Force
Perception

Other skills may become required rolls once certain systems completely fail, like Endurance checks if certain life support fails (organics only)

Ship Systems Affected
Hyperdrive (Down)
Power to Engines (Failing)
Air Recycling (Failing)
Gravity Generator (Failing)
Pilot Controls (Failing)
Climate Controls (Failing)

Successes = 0
Failures = 0

Just bloody great Aiakos curses through her teeth as she struggles with the controls to stabilize the fighter as it emerges from hyperspace. Droid! Status report!

Pilot: [1d20+5] = 2+5 = 7

Aiakos will try to steer clear from any debris. If she can't can she try to shoot them with the ship's weapons (first option) or push them away with the Force (she has Move Object) ?

[Melblen_Cairn]

A large chunk of debris moves into the ships path and in the attempt to avoid it, Aiakos slams the controls to one side and down. The maneuver avoids a front collision with the cockpit's canopy but the garbage smashes into the rear half of the ship. Sparks fly from the controls and the ship fails to respond to it's pilot.

Failure on that last check make the pilot skill unusable currently.

Can Aiakos  try to shoot them with the ship's weapons or push them away with the Force (she has Move Object) ?

[Melblen_Cairn]

(click to show/hide)

Yes, you can do either. Though since this is not a standard round to round unit of time. Your attack roll for the former option will cover how successful you are with that tactic.

Also need a post this "round" for FU-M8 to give everyone a chance to act.

[Clanjos]

"THIS IS HONESTLY ABOUT WHAT I EXPECTED. WELL, IF WE'RE GOING TO DIE, JUST GO AHEAD AND PUT 'FU-M8, DIED BECAUSE MEATBAGS DIDN'T LEAVE A NACOMPUTER' ON MY TOMBSTONE."

M8 began scuttling about, arms popping out as he began splicing wires.

"THIS IS THE SHODDIEST CONSTRUCTION I'VE EVER SEEN. A SINGLE IMPACT SENDS ENGINES AND HYPERDRIVE OFFLINE?"

Mechanics check, get pilot controls back online. I'll worry about air recycling on the way to the outside of the ship.

Rolled 1d20+14 : 14 + 14, total 28

[LordBlades]

First of all,  F U too mate! Aiakos jumps at what she perceives as an insult Then maybe we could focus on getting out of this crap and save whining for later? We're not dead yet She tires to use the ship's guns to shoot down incoming asteroids, but without engine power it proves almost impossible.
