As I put in the game post... I'm going to try to open the blast door specifically.

I want to remind you that you can post more than once when it is appropriate. You do not have to wait for every single update before you post again.

And also, I do not recommend you wait for everyone else to post. If everyone would do that we wouldn't get this game moving at all.

It seemed like a lot of things changed, so I didn't want to have to go back and edit my post again.

Posting now, BTW

But, maybe it is, cause I'm bringing it up...

Anyway, Loki, I'm sure you have nothing but good intentions for some neat roleplaying and good storytelling with your two most recent posts. I'll admit, you definitely gave me some insight into your Twi'lek. And having the extra disk was a nice gesture.

However, I think you might be "meta-gaming" a bit. Here's what I mean: I'm not sure she would have seen the transaction between the Khil and the Jedi. If you follow the order of posts, you stated that Arruna'dira had "darted off" after the good Doctor and Kate. Skari then posted that Milix tells Benjamin to go on with the others as well, as the Jedi will be of more use to them. He then slips "something" into the Jedi's robes and speaks to Benjamin about what that something is.

So, one: I doubt Arruna'dira would have seen the transaction between the Jedi and the Khil as she would have been moving away from them to chase away the doctor and the droid.

And two: even if she did see "something" being slipped into Benjamin's robes, I doubt she would have heard any of the conversation.

So, I guess I'm saying, I doubt think anyone knows Benjamin is carrying the datacard. Skari's post seems to suggest that the Khil was trying to be a bit subtle about it.

Anyway... this post is WAY longer than I wanted it to be. And, really, it's not that big of a deal. I really do like Arruna'dira, I like the social-class struggle between her and the good Doctor (if you two can keep that tension without it sabotaging game play, it should be a cool piece of the story line!), and I like the energy you bring to our "virtual" table.

So, yeah, I'm not looking for you to edit your posts or anything, Benjamin will probably just shrug off the Twi'lek's questions.

I'll be posting in a bit. Yay me!

I did expect this might be seen as meta-gaming so I allowed myself to roll Arruna's Perception against Milix' Stealth and Arruna did see the Khil give Benjamin something. With Arruna's familiarity with datacards, I'm not so surprised that she'd assume that was what the Khil handed Benjamin.

Since it is not that big a deal, there's no need to be editing anything. I'm telling you about the roll so that you can all feel a little bit better about the situation

Apparently, being a secret spy an everything hasn't taught Milix much about being stealthy

Hey! Great!

Well, there ya go, Loki, my apologies. Everything was right in character by the looks of things. I'll go on to reply now then.

Lucky break, I didn't ask and I admit that was a bit of meta gaming, I did however only want to start a bit of role-playing conversation and didn't know what else could be brought up.

I guess it's just the slackness with my gaming group at home coming through.

I won't do it again, and that class struggle, it's best in game.

But would Benjamin have a "master" keycard to open secured doors, him being the Embassador's bodyguard and all?

Just sayin'...

I'm afraid that Milix would have the master-keycard if the two of you ever had one. They can't have a bodyguard roaming around while he is supposed to be with whomever it is he is supposed to protect

Short answer being 'no'.

I'll update tomorrow. If you want to roleplay some more, by all means do

On a completely different note, I've been working on some dueling house-rules. It's not perfect, and I don't think we'll be using them for this game until I have play-tested it, but I will write down the rules as an article to put up here at the Inn. I have finished the first draft if someone is interested in reading it over.

Well, it was worth a shot.

Anyway, feel free to send the article my way. I'll give it a read though.

how quickly can I get to my speeder?

Alrighty, I have updated.

You got yourself through the blast door and into the hangar. Alas, you're met with a small group of Mandalorians and a Sith. I'm giving you all XP for activity, some of you get bonus XP for good roleplaying and I'm also giving you XP for getting through the blast door (it was not as easy as it may have looked to open it, Kate just rolled well).
I'm also assuming Awvoor did some first aid on people in need (such as Wrrlwarr) and I will include that in the following Initiative order. For easier reference, I marked them with a *, so if there is anyone not getting first aid I can correct this.

And here is the Initiative order:
[32] Benjamin (current hp: 70)
[28] Kate (current hp: 64)
[28] Arruna'dira (current hp: 76; Speeder hp: 27)
[26] Mandalorian #1 (hp lost: 81; down two steps)
[24] Darth Malis (hp lost: 105; utterly dead)
[24] Battle Droid #1 (hp lost: 38; out of the fight)
[20] Awvoor (current hp: 57)
[13] Mandalorian #2 (hp lost: 69; down one step; out of the fight)
[12] Battle Droid #2 (hp lost: 44; down one step; destroyed)
[10] Wrrlwarr (current hp: 70)

Your speeder is outside the normal move action range, but you can take a full round action to get to it. I may have to look it up to be sure, though. But your speeder is about 50 ft. away on your left.

The hangar is 120 ft. accross, 150 ft. outwards. So the enemy is about 120 ft. away. There are also three colossar starships (Awvoor's included) in the hangar, if you need cover or something.

There are also boxes of various sizes, barrels and all sorts of stuff around which you can also use for cover.

You are all unprepaired, so you'll need a move action to draw your weapons. (Darth Malis' move action was included in the updated so he starts his round without one. I'm not cheating or anything.)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the hangar door that needs opening is approximately 100 ft. (in a straight line accross the hangar) from where you're standing. If anyone knows of a free mapping tool, I might be able to give you a map if you want one.

Is Kate's shield back up? That wasn't shown anywhere...
