Episode 2.01: Brushfire!

[Patrick Goodman]

Veteran allows me the opportunity to get that Determination back. It hasn't worked out yet for me, but there's always hope.

Veteran

Rolled 1d6 : 5, total 5

Maybe this will be the one....

[Patrick Goodman]

Woot!!!

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Thanks to the captain's example, Ally gets 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 1. Success, plus 1 Momentum generated.

And Treyva recovers the point of Determination he just spent.

Roll 7[CD] damage to AEW-N.

[Doug Burke]

7 [CD] coming right up!

Rolled 7d6 : 1, 5, 4, 2, 5, 4, 6, total 27

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 6 damage + 3 effects = 9 damage.

AEW-N 3[CD] cover dice

Rolled 3d6 : 2, 5, 5, total 12

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: First, I forgot to change the Momentum and Threat numbers based on Treyva's purchase. There should've been 2 Momentum and 2 Threat in the pools at the beginning of Ally's term.

Second, ignore that roll I just made. AEW-N just threw the rifle toward the landing party; he's fully exposed, so no Resistance for him.

AEW-N takes 9 Stress and an Injury. The warrior will spend 2 Threat to avoid it.

The warrior is spun around by the shot and disappears from view as he hits the ground.

OOC: Do you folks want to keep the initiative and have Dietrich act?

[Doug Burke]

Go ahead and bank my Momentum. And I say we let the Apellans go.

[Davy, aka GM]

The last warrior on the ridge drops to the ground and fires at the landing party from a prone position.

OOC: AEW-M Control + Security (10/3) vs. Difficulty 2

Rolled 2d20 : 12, 17, total 29

[Davy, aka GM]

It seems like the warrior was aiming for the cover behind which the landing party is hiding, but his shots impact the ground a few meters short.

Meanwhile, Dietrich decides to return the favor.

OOC: Dietrich Control + Security (10/2) vs. Difficulty 2, reduced to Difficulty 1 by Cover Fire

Rolled 2d20 : 10, 2, total 12

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 1. Success, plus 1 Momentum generated.

The specialist's surgical strikes chip away pieces of rock on either side of the Apellan, who reflexively rolls out of sight.

Meanwhile, the warriors below busy themselves with reloading their rifled muskets.

OOC: Okay, Round 4 is here, and the landing party goes first. The Apellans are all hiding behind their cover. Who is first? Is Treyva going to order a general retreat? Is one of the younger 'Fleeters going to try to keep the enemy in hiding?

[Patrick Goodman]

That is exactly Treyva's intention, once his player has a little more time....

[Patrick Goodman]

Treyva took a quick look around, and pointed to the north. "We've got to get them out of here and back to the ship!" he said.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: I think I'm going to make this a task for Treyva after all. Patrick, please attempt a Presence + Command vs. Difficulty 3 to safely lead the landing party out of harm's way; Cover Fire will reduce the Difficulty to 2.

Success ends the combat scene with the landing party retreating to safety, where they can beam out without being observed. Failure will mean Success at Cost (specific cost TBD).

[Patrick Goodman]

Treyva "Marines, we are leaving!" Task
Presence + Command (10/5), TN15, dffective D2, Lead by Example Focus should apply

Rolled 2d20 : 9, 9, total 18

Let's do this.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 2. Success!

In an orderly fashion, with Tann-Tyra leading the way out, the landing party is able to move back up the hill and out of range of the Apellan warriors. About midway through their retreat, it becomes clear that the enemy is content to let them go. The conscious crew check to make sure they're alone, and then beam back to the ship.

Two medical teams are standing by to meet the landing party as they arrive in the transporter room. Orderlies whisk away Kowalski and Cole, while Thelma remains to triage the injuries of the remaining landing party members. The nurse and Chief Kalsi escort Ally and Tann-Tyra to sickbay, leaving Treyva and Dietrich behind. The security specialist collects the rifles and lines them up along the side wall. He looks to the captain for other orders before he continues his work.

In sickbay, Dr. Dourap and Casey work to save Lt. Cole's life.

OOC: Dourap Daring + Medicine (7/5) vs. Difficulty 1

Rolled 2d20 : 20, 18, total 38

Casey Daring + Medicine (10/4) Assist

Rolled 1d20 : 2, total 2
