For the Fimurdag project, Ijin will be rejoining the Gweldite hunting party for a time. With them, he'll do various sniping-related tasks as favors for various contacts in exchange for information on Fimurdag's last known location.

All in all, that would be three dice from Scrap and up to seven dice from involving the following contacts:

Stacey Weathers (Has the hottest leads.)
Hegsgud (Part of the hunting party.)
Jezri (He really does have the hookup.)
Finbl (Seeing plenty of use during sniping favors for information.)
Fimurdag (He's the one being hunted.)
Miimiin (Part of the hunting party.)
Ijin (Part of the hunting party.)

As for the silencer, I'll go ahead and make that a project as well. In between sniping favors, Ijin will find time to flick through various firearm catalogues and go shopping with his parents for a silencer among his contacts.

All in all, that would be two dice from Study and up to seven dice from involving the following contacts:

Arlox (They'd probably have some good recommendations.)
Ishi (Can't go wrong with asking a weapons dealer about weapon accessories.)
Jezri (He really does have the hookup.)
Finbl (This is what the silencer is for.)
Miimiin (An assassin would know a thing or two about finding good silencers.)
Ijin (An older, more experienced sniper would know a thing or two about finding good silencers.)
Shod (Can't go wrong with asking a weapons dealer about weapon accessories.)


Are you looking at this section?

For any downtime activity, you may spend CREd after the roll to
improve the result level. Increase the result level by one for each
CREd spent. So, a 1-3 result becomes a 4/5, a 4/5 result becomes
a 6, and a 6 becomes a critical. If the action requires a roll and you
can involve a contact on your sheet or the ship sheet, take +1d.
p184


If so, I don't read that as adding +1d per contact, but giving you the opportunity to add a single die by involving a contact. That's consistent with the other bonuses in the game, which don't stack with themselves/can't be invoked more than once per roll.

@ctrlsaltdel Is there anything I can do to increase my attune roll (take stress ect). I dont like my chances with zero points in attune.


Yep, you've got all of the normal options. You can take +1d for assistance from a team mate (they take 1 stress), +1d from either pushing yourself (you take two stress) or taking a Devil's Bargain, and +1d from spending a gambit.

...I'm trying to come up with a good Devil's Bargain to offer you, but frankly this has a high enough trouble quotient attached to it to start with that I'm having a hard time thinking of something suitably punitive.

Fair enough. That's four dice for the hunt and three dice for silencer shopping then.

For the hunt, a rolled a four, a six, a two, and a one.

And for the shopping, I rolled a three, a one, and a five.

Edit: As for Devil's Bargain ideas for Molly, perhaps you could start a new 4-clock called 'Jor'eth Finds Out' and tick it thrice.

Alexis can assist on this. Might make for a good point for her to join the crew as well.

Not entirely sure what all she might work on during the downtime.

I'll mark the stress for it and try to think of other things she would do for down time.

5, 4, 5,

Enlisting Alexius to help Molly is able to merge the AI cores, replacing Cho's ur-bots functions with non AI programing to mimic it long enough for the ur-bot to be wiped.

Nice, mark 2 additional XP in Prowess track.

You did roll correctly, which is unfortunately because you marked only 3 stress, which means that on a 6 you Overindulge and have to choose one of the consequences below.

- Rash Action. Reduce your STASH by 4 or if you can’t (or won’t), the crew takes 2 debt.
- Big Talk. Brag about your exploits. The crew gains +2 HEAT in the current system.
- Lost. Your character vanishes for a few weeks. Play a different character until this one returns from their bender. When your character returns, they’ve also healed any harm they had.


Rash action! He and the crew will have to live with his gambling

Sorry for the delay, all!

Alright! Let's start a couple of clocks--I'm going to say 12 for the hunt, and 6 for the silencer. With those rolls, that would put you at 3/12 on the hunt, and 3/6 on the silencer.

I have two questions for you:

1) It sounds like Ijin goes between the two groups with some regularity--how does working with other Gweldite compare to working with the crew of the Cerberus?

2) I understand the line might be blurry, but is the Gweldite adherence to purpose closer to a social conditioning or a physical compulsion?

5, 4, 5,

Yep, that's a success. Assuming you still want to play this out, I'll put something up IC to start that.

I respect the confidence. How does Quintus blow his savings? What's his game of choice?

No worries, my guy. Delays happen.

Cool.



I have two questions for you:


Shoot.



1) It sounds like Ijin goes between the two groups with some regularity--how does working with other Gweldite compare to working with the crew of the Cerberus?


The Gweldite hunting party is a lot more ordered and organized than the crew of the Cerberus. You wouldn't see any of them dragging the entire hunting party into debt or going behind the backs of the higher-ups to go against a decision they don't like. Though they do have a habit of going off on pilgrimages or holy quests when their religious activities heal more stress than they have at the time.



2) I understand the line might be blurry, but is the Gweldite adherence to purpose closer to a social conditioning or a physical compulsion?


It leans more towards physical compulsion. Going against its purpose causes a Gweldite to experience genuine pain and suffer bodily harm akin to a deep cut at best and a broken bone at worst. Social conditioning is still a big factor as well though. Ijin and his hunting party would never have been sent after Fimurdag if it wasn't.

Hey all--I'm so sorry, but real life responsibilities and general life pressure have caught up with me in such a way that it makes sense for me to take an indefinite hiatus from the board. I'm not sure when or if I'll be coming back, so please don't wait on me. Thanks for taking part in this game, and I'm sorry it's ending early.
