Episode 2.01: Brushfire!

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Tann-Tyra's team gets 4 Successes vs. Difficulty 1. Success, plus 3 Momentum generated.
The Apellan sentries get 0 Successes vs. Difficulty 1. Failure, plus 1 Complication generated.

Tann-Tyra's team wins the task, and generates 3 Momentum. The Complication will be "Caught Completely By Surprise," affecting the third challenge.

Just as a reminder, the third task will be an opposed extended task, with Work 20 and Magnitude 4. The tasks will be Fitness + Security vs. Difficulty 1. Again, all additional team members on each side must assist on each task roll.

An available Advantage in the third gate is "Styles' Team Jumps In," which will bring Styles and his team from the sides to help finish off the sentries. It can be purchased once and will remain in place for the rest of the extended task. (Otherwise, they're remaining alert for other trouble while Tann-Tyra and her team deal with the sentries.)

[Patrick Goodman]

Can some of that Momentum be used to buy off a portion of the extended task? Give us a head start, as it were? Away from my books or I'd look it up myself.

[Patrick Goodman]

I will purchase an extra die for one Momentum, and that short-term Complication for two. This should be pretty complicated for them since they're already Caught Completely by Surprise.

You'd almost think I want to end this quickly and quietly.... Oh, and if we're being assessed by Styles and his crew, it probably wouldn't bother Tann-Tyra if they were slightly nervous.

Note that Momentum can be spent to Add Work on a 1-for-1 basis (repeatable), and also to reroll any number of Work dice for 1 Momentum. Overcoming Resistance is also available, but, since you folks have no Resistance to overcome...

[Patrick Goodman]

Actually have 3 Momentum to spend, since I had 3 use or lose going in. So, Work....

Rolled 6d6 : 4, 2, 2, 6, 4, 4, total 22

Then we'll see about Momentum use.

[Patrick Goodman]

Reroll the 4s with those 3 Momentum.

Rolled 3d6 : 4, 6, 5, total 15

Do better.

[Patrick Goodman]

Marginally....

[Patrick Goodman]

Pursuant to our other conversation, use remaining Momentum to generate Work....

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 1 Momentum spent to Re-Roll Work. 2 Momentum spent to create 2 Additional Work.

Tann-Tyra 7 Work, plus 2 Effects (not used), plus 2 Additional Work, for a total of 9. 1 Breakthrough!

Apellans 5 Work, minus 2 Resistance. Spending 1 Threat to ignore 2 Resistance, for a total of 5. 1 Breakthrough!

[Patrick Goodman]

Everybody showed up, at least. See how things shake out, but I'm probably going to buy off that Complication....

[Davy, aka GM]

Apellans 4 Successes vs. Difficulty 2. Success, plus 2 Momentum generated.
