Episode 2.01: Brushfire!

[Doug Burke]

And I'll need to fix it again so Nikolai can assist. *sigh*

Kolesnikov assist Control + Engineering (10 + 4 = 14)

Rolled 1d20 : 5, total 5

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 1 Success for Nikolai, and 2 Successes for Sorak. 3 Successes vs. adjusted Difficulty 0. Success, plus 3 Momentum generated. Acknowledging spend of 4 Momentum to increase power recovery to 5 points (1 base + 1 per Momentum spent). Ship's power is now 10.

The B'Rel begins to drift along its current course, no longer being propelled by its impulse engines. Miguel reports the Klingons are sending a communication in the clear.

A Klingon voice says, "Success, brothers! We who are about to die salute you!"

A few moments later, the scout explodes in a brilliant flash of light, thankfully distant enough that it doesn't threaten the Drake.

OOC: L-9A Helm Warp Task Control + Conn (9/2) vs Difficulty 0. Assisted by the ship's Engines + Conn (7/2).

Rolled 2d20 : 5, 17, total 22

Rolled 1d20 : 15, total 15

Ship Status
B'Rel - Engines Disabled, 4 net Power spent, Shields -at 0, +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 10/9, -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.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 1 Success vs. Difficulty 0. Success, plus 1 Threat generated.

Ship expends 6 Power to warp from Free Nav 3 IV to Std Orbit IV.

Spending 2 Threat (1 Threat remaining) to Keep the Initiative.

L-9A Weapons Fire Disruptors Task Control + Security (9/2) vs. Difficulty 2. Assisted by the ship's Weapons + Security (9/2).

Rolled 2d20 : 6, 14, total 20

L-9B Helm Warp Task Control + Conn (9/2) vs Difficulty 0. Assisted by the ship's Engines + Conn (7/2).

Rolled 2d20 : 5, 11, total 16

Rolled 1d20 : 11, total 11

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 0. Success, plus 2 Threat generated.

The ship spends 5 Power to warp from Free Nav 3 V to Med Orbit V.

Spending 2 Threat (1 Threat remaining) to Keep the Initiative.

L-9A Weapons Fire Torpedoes Task Control + Security (9/2) vs. Difficulty 3. Assisted by the ship's Weapons + Security (9/2). Spending 1 Threat to Create Opportunity.

Rolled 3d20 : 18, 20, 14, total 52

Rolled 1d20 : 16, total 16

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Oof. 0 Successes vs. Difficulty 3. Failure, shot misses (badly).

Of course, I screwed up. I meant to say that the ship was adding Momentum to fire a torpedo spread, but, since I didn't say so before rolling, I can't say it retroactively.

Adding 2 Momentum to player pool to counter Complication.

The Sabers warp in to firing range, the lead ship firing its disruptors and the other firing torpedoes. The disruptors lance closely to the Drake's hull, but the torpedoes streak far wide of their target.

OOC: Back to you folks. :)

[Patrick Goodman]

Well, that answers the question "Should I be worried about the B'Rel falling into the atmosphere?" which I was about to ask....

[Patrick Goodman]

My thoughts are...well, Saber A is right there, and they are Klingons, and they did shoot at us. I think we owe it to them to reciprocate. They'd be offended if we didn't.

[Renny]

OOC: Can we get a senior officer to direct Lear again so we can say hello to the Klingons in an appropriate fashion?

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Unfortunately, the Direct action is available only once per scene per Command role officer. Only Treyva and Sorak have that role in this scene, and they have both spent it.

Now, late-23rd Century ships allow helm officers to handle phasers, so Maria could take a shot, if you folks wish...

[Renny]

OOC: That sounds like an acceptable compromise...

[Patrick Goodman]

I love that plan.

[Patrick Goodman]

Treyva watched the viewscreen as the Klingon frigates warped into position. As the enemy shots missed his ship, he said, "Maria, target the nearest ship and fire phasers!"

[Davy, aka GM]

"Phasers, aye, sir," the helmsman repeats, her hands moving with practiced ease over her console to quickly configure phaser controls and let loose with a barrage.

OOC: Maria Control + Security (10/2) Fire Phasers Task vs. Difficulty 2, targeting L-9 A. Ship assists with Weapons + Security (9/3).

Rolled 2d20 : 20, 14, total 34

Rolled 1d20 : 20, total 20

[Patrick Goodman]

Well. That sucks.
