[The Bindoner]

Sorry for the hiatus, we've been doing some off-stage stuff

[The Bindoner]

The interviews between the High Muckamucks should be over soon, and the ships leave at dawn.

This might be time to think about training.

Each Jump is a week with few opportunities for trouble, and everyone can practice a skill - either improving one they have or learning a new one. It will be a slow process for most players, as the time is equal to the total of your skill levels in weeks. The Warband will learn quite quickly though, as they have few skills to start with.

Each player should pick a skill or stat to train in, and if they command any NPC's they can direct what they will train in. Any undirected NPC will train in what they are interested in, or what their job entails.

Once everyone's decided I'll make a thread for recording progress.

Raven embraces the "self improvement opportunity" for the warband. They are free to pursue further education in whichever diverse direction their individual muses guide them... not!

None of them can shoot straight and some not at all - looking at you Dagný, Ingunn and Rúna!!!

Therefore, in jump, we shall enjoy:

Hvy Wpns (Training) {Reinforcing Success!]
Vehicle Gunner : Sverrir, Vehicle Gunner : Hrafn, Raider 9: Þórir.

Gun Cbt (Training)
Everyone else!

Hróarr gets the "I'll be watching you" award for having chosen his melee skill from the "Hobbies & Pastimes" Menu: Melee (Whip) 1

Goes with Animals (Training), honest

Useful for keeping slaves in line too.

Looking at my copy of the warband I noticed a couple of skills missing from the version here, that's corrected now. Nothing major.

[The Bindoner]

We'll be taking off soon, once Áshildr is "bedded in"

[The Bindoner]

The Pilot and Captain should be on the Bridge for take-off, everyone else, nice to have but not essential

[hardrocks]

Sure, if its morning you can assume ill be there

[The Bindoner]

It's morning, and Kar is going to have to get this ship up in an hour's time. Hope Ridley didn't overindulge....

[hardrocks]

Kar is fine, we only really need Ridley by the time we make orbit and we're ready to jump. And yes, I'm assuming he is very much worse for wear!

[The Bindoner]

Somebody ought to fly the ship to orbit. The whole fleet is taking off at the same time, the sky will be crowded.

Classic Oghman. Only concerned with the "sexy" jobs: pilot, captain, raid leader. Not a care in the world for the poor working stiffs who actually man the jump drive and make the jump happen. It's okay though, we'll take you on your aggressive interstellar shopping trips anyway.

Yep, what he said.

[Tiglath]

To quote a famous Oghman Tank Commander:

Big Joe : What are you doing?
Oddball : I'm drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know.
Big Joe : What's happening?
Oddball : Well, the tank's broke and they're trying to fix it.
Big Joe : Well, then, why the hell aren't you up there helping them?
Oddball : [chuckles] I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work.

Do we know where we're going raiding?

[hardrocks]

Kor is privately fairly worried about Ridley. Hoping the Auto pilot can make "Space-Fall" not Fail

[Gorethirster]

I assumed Kor would be rolling a d6 to see which adjacent hex we were jumping to. That's the traditional Oghman way, right?

[hardrocks]

Do we know where we're going raiding?

Heading to the pirate town Manfred is sorta from, however a shake down for the raiders on the way would probably be a good idea.

[Gorethirster]

On the topic of where we're going, what's the grand strategy? Obviously we're trying to get nice stuff for Oghma, but we're also supposed to try advanced tactics like "talking to people" and "cooperating." Are we going to get slightly outside the usual raid space before we try diplomacy?

[The Bindoner]

Heading to the pirate town Manfrid is sorta from, however a shake down for the raiders on the way would probably be a good idea.

The ship can only reach Marduck in one Jump. It could Jump to a fuel depot in The Black, on the way to another system - if you knew where one was.

If all else fails Regina can fly the ship. Ridley's reputation would never recover from the shame of that

[hardrocks]

Sorry i think we are cross posting. But we do need to have some kind of plan Raider fleet will be hitting that system but maybe a small raid out of the way a bit would be good. A fishing boat or small village. Then to the starport (forgot the name GM) that is where we say good bye to Manfred. Then it is up to us. but not you. you're a slave. Harsh but true.
