Hey, I think I'm behind- are we missing anyone other than Ubex and the dm rn?

I hope he(ubex) comes back soon.

Worried by Wei's message, false alarm or no, Lloyd combats his worry at one of the weapons control panels where his hands glide over the controls, checking alignments and power levels. They'll be fine. Pretty soon be back in the cockpit laughing and on to their next adventure, right? They'd been in ...

Im cool with that call Gerrin, here is the creator's take on crits and fumbles: 20-or-1 types of critical hits and fumbles tend to make life distinctly uglier for the PCs, and SWN's already a pretty lethal game by the book. It's always fun to roll 20s when smacking berserk warbots, but then a mook r...

Good thinking! I dont have any answers just yet but I love that we have some past that isnt explicit just yet. Half of this journey that I am really enjoying is slowing finding out the past as we find out the future.

Action: Making a stirfry Its a good thing Lloyd didn't hear Wei using an honorific, or else he would have corrected him right away. In fact, Lloyd didnt hear most of the message; the jazz music and sound of the cooking food made quite the relaxing atmosphere. Sure, rations and canned food didnt make...

Back at the ship, Lloyd is blissfully unaware of the danger his friends find themselves in and is engrossed in tightening up a few loose nuts on the life support pipes. As he works he idly sings a song from the archives. "I'll take you ridin' into the ..." He hums the next words as he insp...

Lloyd was surprised to hear another voice, thinking the conversation was over. "Hm? Oh no I think he meant scuttle as in scamper or run away. Don't worry I won't let any harm come to this beautiful lady." He ran a hand affectionately over the metal wall of the ship. The first ship he'd fir...

The response comes in a bit scratchy but understandable. "I copy. Stay safe." There is a long pause before Lloyd seems to decide to remember something. "Oh, and maybe we can find something exotic in the settlement on the cheap, you know? Could make a nice profit. Obviously not the pri...

Oh jeez, Ill use blue for my dialogue from now on, I totally thought people just picked a color and I like dark red XD

Lloyd hands out the communicators to everyone.

"I'll keep one of these on, if you need a lift just call me and I'll come pick you up before you can say 'Taxi!'."

Lloyd was similarly impressed with Wei's politicking, though he had the vague impression that most of it was lost on him. A hazard of not knowing the language, he supposed. "Silas, you're better with the technical stuff than I am, why don't you go with Wei and I'll guard the ship with Udex. Ill...

Lloyd had been in a number of negotiations, but none that didn't have 4 or 5... how to put it... well, soldiers that looked like Dax. Well, honestly none of them had looked like Dax, she was better looking than any soldier he'd known personally. They mostly tended to be overwhelming stubborn types. ...

Lloyd, having descended to the bottom of the Persephone's entrance ramp, subconsciously takes a step back at the realization of the new threat. Were these the thugs that had been mentioned, already here for an all out fire fight? This wasn't a very good place for an ambush, but then again who else o...

His hand still on the now opened hatch lever, Lloyd froze in amazement as Wei seamlessly transitioned into.... whatever that language was. He tried to work it out in his head, but couldn't fathom how the man could know the language. This couldn't be his home world, and would they have taught this in...

Lloyd smiles appreciatively to Tatiana and waits for Wei to give him the go ahead before opening the door, happy to defer any negotiations to the lawyer. Did any of the creatures actually speak basic? Lloyd's hand tightened restlessly on his gun as he considered what would happen if they had no way ...

Lloyd makes his way to the entry hatch to the ship and pauses with his hand on the lever to open the door.

"What do we do now, just open the door and hope they won't attack us? I dont speak howling so i can't tell if that was a threat or a greeting."

Setting the craft down, Lloyd takes a quick trip to the armory to pick out a blaster which he puts in his belt. "I mean, this is the Persephone and we are her crew. We're not the first ones in the universe to travel around on a ship looking for work, do we need a story? For that matter, do we h...

Lloyd nods and agrees with the sentiment, maneuvering the ship down towards the clearing after checking the radio frequencies for anyone that he might need to ask for permission.

(Assuming he finds none.)

Piloting = +1dex +1skill= 3+4+3 = 7 +2 = 9

Having awakened from a nap only minutes earlier Lloyd looks at the scene with fresh eyes. Switching on the mic, he speaks over the intercom: "I can see three landing spots below, a clearing near P'Angarr, a landing strip 10 miles south of the city, well, I mean if you're going to call it that. ...

Lloyd nods, surprised at the quick goodbye. It was much harder to work as a trader when all the routes had to be negotiated rather than being preset before hand, something he was still getting used to in his new life. Swiveling in his chair, he heads to the pilot's seat and starts running pre-flight...
