Episode 2.01: Brushfire!

[Renny]

OOC: I would think that's a good idea...

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 0 Successes from Sorak, 2 Successes from the ship, and 2 Successes from Lear. That's 4 Successes vs. Difficulty 1. Success, plus 3 Momentum generated, and 1 Complication suffered. 1 Power is spent on the attack (only because I forgot to ask how much power you wanted to spend before the task roll...you can spend up to 3 Power on a phaser attack, with each point above 1 adding 1[CD] damage if successful).

Phasers also have the Versatile 2 quality, meaning you receive 2 free Momentum on a successful hit, leaving you with 5 Momentum, 4 of which must be spent immediately or lost. It sounds like you're going to spend 2 Momentum to counter the Complication, so that leaves you with 3 (with 2 spend-or-lose).

Momentum spends in starship combat are found on p.232 of the core rules. Let me know what you want to do and roll 8[CD] damage.

[Renny]

OOC: OK so we'll roll the CD first

Rolled 8d6 : 5, 5, 6, 1, 6, 6, 3, 4, total 36

[Renny]

OOC: I make that 6 damage.

I would suggest putting the two Momentum into either bypassing resistance or simply adding to the damage total

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Spending Momentum to overcome a target's Resistance to an attack is more efficient (Overcome 2 Resistance per Momentum point vs. 1 additional damage per Momentum point), but there's also the chance you overspend on it and extra points spent have no effect.

But, you also know that in game mechanics terms, a ship's basic Resistance is equal to its Scale, and that a B'Rel is Scale 3. I will say that this is a common knowledge thing, as B'Rels have been encountered in numbers in the 2280s. (Less common ships in foreign fleets will require a roll.)

So, spending 2 Momentum will overcome the scout's basic resistance and the +1 you folks also know about from the Klingons remodulating their shields.

[Patrick Goodman]

Do eeeeet!!

[Renny]

OOC: Agreed, let's do that thing!

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Acknowledging the spending of 2 Momentum to overcome 4 Resistance.

Attack does 6 damage, -4 Resistance, for a total of 2 6 damage.

System Hit

Rolled 1d20 : 12, total 12

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Hit to the scout's Structure.
Shields reduced by 6.
Structure breach suffered.

Potential Crew Injury

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: No crew injury.

Twin lines of powerful pulsed rectified energy lance out from the ventral forward banks, scorching the scout's superstructure in several places.

"Their shields held," Lear notes, "but I think we rattled them a bit, sir."

Tobin reports, "They're scanning us."

OOC: Klingon Sensors Operator Control + Security (10/3) vs. Difficulty 1 (increased to Difficulty 2 by range). Assisted by scout's Sensors + Security (9/2).

Rolled 2d20 : 5, 2, total 7

Rolled 1d20 : 11, total 11

Ship Status
B'Rel - 2 net Power spent, Shields down 6, +1 Difficulty to hit in combat until Helm's next turn
Drake - Power Remaining 6/9, -1 Difficulty to hit in combat until Helm's next turn

Roles That Have Acted This Round
B'Rel - Helm, Comms, Captain, Engineer, Weapons
Drake - Maria, Miguel, Tobin, Lear, Treyva, Sorak

The Wounded
Cole - Injury/Stable (2 Complications)
Kowalski - Injury/Stable

Current
Momentum 6
Threat 2

Advantages & Complications
Well-Oiled Machine Advantage (when a PC or supporting character assists a PC on a shipboard task)
More Aggressive Strategy Advantage (Tyreen)
Educated Guess Advantage (when using ship's sensors to actively scan for cloaked ships)
They Didn't See That Coming (Reduce Difficulty of next attack against B'Rel by 1)
Trauma Shock Complication (Cole; Injury-related)
Massive Internal Injuries Complication (Cole; Injury-related)

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 3 Successes vs. Difficulty 2. Success, plus 1 Momentum generated. (On next attack before the end of the sensor operator's next Turn, the attack gains Piercing 2 quality and, if any d20s are purchased, the attack receives +1[CD] for each d20 purchased.)

Okay, that's the end of Round 1. You folks get the first turn in Round 2.

Note that the L-9s are now joining the fray, though they're a ways off and will have to expend some time and/or power to get into effective firing range.

Ship Status
B'Rel - 2 net Power spent, Shields -6, +1 Difficulty to hit in combat until Helm's next turn (On next attack before the end of the sensor operator's next Turn, the attack gains Piercing 2 quality and, if any d20s are purchased, the attack receives +1[CD] for each d20 purchased.)
L-9 A -
L-9 B -
Drake - Power Remaining 5/9, -1 Difficulty to hit in combat until Helm's next turn
I forgot to account for the power spent on the phaser attack. You should have 5 power left, instead of 6.

[Renny]

OOC: I think we should probably pound the B'Rel while we have the chance and then give ourselves some fighting room because I don't like the odds of 3 to 1

[Nolmir]

OOC: Agreed

[Patrick Goodman]

I concur. Doug?

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Given unanimous consent for an attack, followed by Sorak rerouting power:

1. Renny, please tell me if Lear is firing phasers or torpedoes.
1a. If firing phasers, let me know if you're expending any extra power for greater effect. (Up to 2 additional Power.)
2. Lear attempts his Control + Security Task vs. Difficulty 2 (phasers) or 3 (torpedoes). (No range penalties, and the dueling helm maneuvers cancel each other out.)
2a. Ship assists with Weapons + Security (9/3).
