Folks, it's Tuesday, which means that it's time for some iron-sworn star-forged.
I am Sergio, your humble host, and with me today is the chaos that we have been
needing the the person who always shakes it up for us, Aaron. How are you, Aaron?
I'm pretty good. You like my introductions, huh? I always make sure to
warn the audience like you're the Tasmanian devil coming in. I just I just like that I need a warning label
The only man who needs a warning label. It's Aaron
Aaron, how was your I didn't get a chance to watch your stream last night. How was the game?
What are what are you playing? I'm playing Black Mesa, which is a real a remake of the original
Half-Life in the Source 2 engine. Oh nice. Okay, so it's just like better graphics. Yeah
And they added a couple things too. It's really it's really sweet. I love all that the whole franchise
So that's that's really cool. I have to check it out
So you are finally in the hot seat for Star Forged. We've gone five sessions. You're now the sixth session
Where you finally get to
fly the stars with us. So let me give you a
Understanding of where we're at. So first of all
Our dear beloved
Uh, I've already forgotten her name. Our dear beloved is Shana
Has gotten sick. She was on a little planetoid got bit by something and now she's unconscious
So taking over for the tribe leader is a
person who
Chooses to be they them. Their name is Nakata
And Nakata is a pilot
They are pretty much the only member of the tribe that has kind of figured out how to fly the ship well
So they've got a really good edge
And Nakata is looking for a way to help ashana, but maybe more importantly
Is to continue to find that new home for the iron landers
We
Traveled to Sealy, which if you remember from session zero was a planet full of space vampires
I I
Seemed to remember something about that right so
We touched down on Sealy and we discovered that there was something called a vault which is like where
You know, whatever progenitor race or whatever once existed here. They left like this
Place like a ruin or something, but it was still a functioning building
And when Nakata went inside the space vampires came after her
But uh what Nakata discovered inside was that they
That there were star maps inside this vault and these star maps seem to lead to star gates
in various parts of the forge
and
We thought this was a great opportunity to
Get out of the void, which is where we currently exist and maybe find more
Inhabitable areas of the forge to find a home for our our iron lander friends, so
We managed to escape this planet Sealy
Managed to escape this vault because thanks to Zakiya
One of the vampires fell madly in love with Nakata
Thanks
And
This vampire bro kind of helped them get out etc
We got on our ship we escaped
But the regular the other space vampires are still after us. They're they're not going anywhere
Um, so they they could show up if we don't row well
But your task today erin is to get us from Sealy
To the closest star gate
Figure out how to turn the star gate on if it's not already on and then punch out of here
Are you up to the task?
I uh, I am cautiously optimistic
That is a good way to be when it comes to playing star forge
so
Here's the thing you are currently at zero spirit because it was a hair-raising
terrifying journey into and out of this vault
So we are going to need to uh undertake a journey
But I don't know if you want to spend a little bit of time so journey and
Recouping a little bit of this spirit. I can't I honestly don't remember exactly what it is that spirit does
But I remember it's important and I feel like we're gonna need it so
Yeah, you currently have a condition called shaken and I think um
It basically doesn't allow you to regain your spirit unless something
In particular happens. Let me look it up real quick
um
because
We could just try to sojourn
But I think it's a little more complicated that than that because the spirit is so low
Uh, so let's see. We've endured stress
Uh
We stand damage
Face desolation when you're brought to the brink of desolation. No, okay
Sojourning when you spend time recovering within the community you roll heart if you succeed
You can recover
The recover moves heal
heart and repair or resupply. Let's see what if heart and is
To increase your spirit it is so
The move is specifically heart when you socialize share intimacy or find a moment of peace
You can roll heart if you want to do this then just explain to me how
nicota
Uh kind of
Regain some of her spirit their spirit
Um
Can they just like go hang out with the space vampire for a while?
Well, the space vampire isn't with us the space vampire stayed back and kind of
You know distracted the other vampires longing us for their love to get away
Okay, so we just have all our regular old iron landers
Um
We haven't really established a bond for nicota. So maybe there's somebody amongst the tribe that they trust
There's gotta be someone right like there's there's gotta be someone that they that they go to for support. So we
Did decide that the vampire's name was dagger
But they're not with us. So let's come up with a new person real quick just just kind of
Let's just uh roll for it
Make this kind of random
Uh, we can decide the character's disposition or a descriptor or a goal of the character
Disposition descriptor or goal
Disposition maybe like uh, maybe like uh, like uh, uh
like a
Mom
Okay, or uh, or a sibling or something
So I get like this some kind of family relative. Yeah, someone familial. Um
Let's let's describe a descriptor of them roll a d100
And let's see what we get in terms of a descriptor for this character
This mp say
They are it's a 27 27. They are aggressive the book says
Whether we keep it or not
Maybe they're not maybe they're not necessarily an asshole. Maybe they're aggressive like they're aggressively happy all this time
Like uh, yeah, like an aggressive
aggressively optimistic
Yeah, like yeah, like uh, how about like an older sibling like your older sibling is very rarely not hostile towards you. Oh, yeah
So, so they're uh, so they're aggressively optimistic. Are we going with that descriptor? Sure. Okay aggressively optimistic
I like that is this older younger sibling. I think older. Okay an older sibling
and
not a sibling but a sibling and uh
We could roll their name if you'd like go ahead and roll
Well roll 51 or greater
It's a male
Less than 51. It's a female roll a d100 and let's figure out
Their gender real quick 16 which means they're female roll another d100
70
Cano k a no cano
That sounds like uh, cano sounds like the name of a jedi
It absolutely sounds like somebody who belongs in star wars. Uh, they are on our ship. They are aggressively optimistic
They are the older sibling of nikata
Paint me the picture of nikata going to hang out with cano
Oh, I think it's like, um
I think she's they they are uh, really upset, you know, they're they're after everything that's happened
Uh, their their spirit is crushed. They just lived out zikia twilight vampire fantasies
Which you know can't end in in anything but extreme emotional trauma
Uh, so they I I think
They're an iron lander still. So, you know, they're they have kind of it's an aggressive like society that's focused on survival
Uh, so when I imagine when they're having problems, they want to punch it out
You want to punch something out? You know the fastest place to find that is probably going to be by handing out with with one of your siblings
Especially an older one. So you're saying they wrestle
No, I think, you know, it's just like I'm thinking uh, I'm thinking like amanda and her sisters, you know
Like the way they kind of get along
Okay, like uh, like, you know, like it's you know
It's it's familial
But like there's there's definitely some fighting going on. Okay. They get physical sounds like
Uh, you're gonna roll heart
So why don't you go ahead uh under summary your heart is two? Let's see
Uh real quick before you do that though. Let me check your assets. I don't think there is a
Real advantage. Yeah, you don't have anything like that
I don't know
No, unfortunately, you don't but that's fine. Just roll heart
And let's see how this helps
weak
Hit all right on a weak hit you do find companionship or comfort and your spirit is strengthened
If you are shaken you can clear the impact and take plus one spirit, which I believe you are shaken
so your spirit is going to go up to one
And uh, you are no longer of the condition shaken
So go ahead increase your spirit to one if you can
however
This indulgence is fleeting
Envision an interruption a complication or inner conflict then lose momentum
Um, so what what what does that kind of look like to you?
I think that I think that in the process of of going to their sister
They get a piece of news that is unsettling to them
Oh
Like maybe like hey grandma died. Oh, or like like hey, you know, they got through all of that and then it's like
Oh, hey, by the way
Uh grandma died last night
Just so you know
Okay
Okay
That's pretty bad. We all loved grandma. So okay, so that is that did you reduce your momentum?
Uh, I'm sorry. What was I supposed to reduce it just by one?
Okay, so it goes from seven to six. Okay
So we've done that
um
Your spirit is at one if you'd like we could try
I don't really want to spam heartin
But we could try to sojourn
Which could increase your health
Uh, well and health isn't exactly in a great position either. Yeah, you took a lot of bumps
So why don't we why don't we do that? I mean, I there's there's no rush, right?
Like the stargates the stargates been there for thousands of years probably, right?
It's not going anywhere. We got time. Oh, yeah. No, this is this is gonna take some time. So again, you are gonna roll heart
And on a strong hit you can choose to heal
Strong hit. Oh nice. Good job
So on a strong hit, uh, this is a safe refuge you and your allies may each choose to recover
Two of the follow you can heal
Heartin repair or resupply and I will let you know that your ship has taken quite a bit of damage
If you look at your assets your ship's health is two out of five
So you could feel down there at the bottom. Yeah, so you could heal yourself and the ship if you wanted to
God, I feel I feel like the ship since we're we're about to embark on
This space journey, I feel like the health of the ship is very important. So that's probably first priority
Is repair the ship?
All right, when you make repairs to your vehicles
Envision the situation and roll if you make your own repairs or direct a companion to make repairs
roll widths
Obtain repairs from someone not an ally roll plus supply. I think we are rolling wits here
Okay
You're kind of the you know, the whole group is making some repairs to the ship. Yes. Well wits. It's not the best, but
It's not the worst
Weak hit we hit is still something so
on a hit
Seems like you got a hit you gain repair points as appropriate to the situation
Per the table below. Additionally, you may sacrifice resources and exchange minus one supply for one extra repair point up to
three
So let's see. We're not at a facility. We're in the field
And it was a weak hit which means it goes up by one point
Well three sounds a whole lot better than two absolutely
Now that you have repaired the ship
What do you want to do after that? You have one more soldier move?
Heal is probably the next one. Yeah
Unless I can try to repair the ship twice
Yeah, I would say I'd say you certainly could if you wanted to
Then yeah, you know what the ship seems like it's way more important right now
And we will probably be spending most of our time in the ship for this journey. So that makes us right
Yeah, that's that's what I'm gonna stick with. Give me another wits roll. Let's see how you do
Back to summary wits
Miss damn
Uh, that is a miss. So unfortunately, you don't make
any
Progress you don't gain any more ship points spend repair points as follows unused points are discarded
Uh, but we'll clear the battered impact. They're not bad
Yeah, that's fine. Take plus one integrity. Yeah on a miss the repairs are not made in the situation worsens pay the price
That's what it says
So roll a d100 for me and let's see what that price is. How did we
Like someone caused a short or something
We've like caused a hole in the ship and everyone's just getting sucked out. What did you get 37 37
Something of value is lost or destroyed
God damn it scotty
Uh, we could say maybe
we have
three
I think we have like two space suits
and we have
Like one or two laser guns. Maybe we lose one of those
Like
Okay, so we shouldn't lose our star maps. We got us right star maps. We have to lose one of these assets
So I'm imagining that to be
Um repairing the ship, you know, maybe someone had to like do an EVA
And put on one of the space suits and go outside of the some nice disposable NPC
um
Went out onto the surface of the spaceship and then they were working on an electrical panel
Yeah, and they went to replace a fuse
And they accidentally like tripped and their arm got jammed into the fuse socket, which is a space
And it's a spaceship. So it's probably like thousands of volts
Right and it just fried them instantly destroyed the suit. They're flowing into space forever man. Yeah, just a shish kebab in space
Yeah, I think that's a good idea. You know, we have to remember we have
A total of 50 people aboard this ship and we're down to like 47 or 46. I think at this point
Well, now we're down to 45. I'm I'm loosely keeping track. Oh, that's right
Ghost of Eli says grandma and now this guy. So we're yeah, we're at like 45 at this point
All right, so we've done that. Um, so what you're saying is we can't just continue idly killing people off
Not if we want to make it to a new home. I don't think so
So we uh, I think I've kind of done about as much damage as we should we should consider
undertaking a journey
And seeing if we can get out of here
I agree. All right. So when you trailblaze a route through perilous space journey over hazardous terrain
Or survey a mysterious site, uh, we have to give the expedition a name and a rank. So let's first
I think we already have
Uh reach the stargate
We have a menace, which is the vampire bro
Uh, the vamp the the vamp pirates. I think now when we when we call him a vampire bro
Does that mean he's like
Like a like a frat bro
Like a like a gym bro. I was just and he's also a space vampire
Maybe he is maybe he does like to tan or or maybe he likes to work out a little bit extra
But um, I was just calling him a vampire bro. Just uh, I don't know kind of
quickly just
Give him a personality without thinking about is he like is he really into bitcoin and and like robin hood? Yes
Yes, I think he gets his tips frosted and stuff like that
Um, we need to decide how dangerous this journey is now if we make it formidable
It's gonna take forever. I think we should maybe start it dangerous
Well, it's space. So I feel I feel like it's it's at least dangerous. Yeah, all right
So that means two progress every time we can make progress
And this is under uh, this is under the progress tab, right? Yes
We're gonna undertake a journey. You need to tell me whether you're moving with edge
shadow or widths in this case
Probably just trying to move at speed. So edge makes I think the most sense
Yes
If you move at speed you roll with edge if you are trying to keep under the radar you roll with shadow
Yeah, we're we're gonna do edge. Uh, nicota is nicota's got the edge down. They're all about the edge
So so edge and let's see how you do
Right starting the journey off with a strong hit drawn hit. That's amazing
On a strong hit you reach a way point envision the location
And mark progress per the rank of your expedition. So
Let me first increase
Our progress a little bit. We make
Two whole progress out of 10
And we reach a way point
I can
Find the way points
Let's see 224
Uh, let's see reach a way point
Uh, nope. That's not what I want
Hmm
I've forgotten how to
Figure out what our way point is
Let's see
Let's look at oh the oracles. That's what I should be looking at. Here we go
So we should
Let's I guess just figure out kind of um
A descriptor let's go to page 136
Roll a d100 and let's find a descriptor of this way point that we reach
Okay
Then
I like how
Oh, uh, I rolled a one which is apparently really good. Very good. Uh, the descriptor is abandoned
And
Whatever this is it's nothing to kill us. Nothing to kill us
Uh, we can roll on the
Maybe the focus
Uh, but that's
Something about that's born to me space born peril. We're not in peril. Uh, we're in an opportunity. Give me another d100
And see if we can't find uh, but you know what it's not a d100 go ahead and roll a d i'm sorry roll a d100
I just really saw ridiculous. I just sounded uh, we're going to just kind of decide a focus for this place
Okay
Maybe it's useful. Maybe it's not
75
75 it is a shelter an abandoned
Shelter now. I don't want it to be a planet. We're in the void. There's not a lot out here
What is like a space station or something?
Even a space station kind of seems a lot like I almost wonder if it's like some kind of like
escape pod or like a jettisoned piece of um
of uh, uh
Like a like a container like a storage container or something
It is a shelter though
Yeah, so I mean, hmm. I don't know the what are the odds of running into a
A singular escape pod that's just kind of floating derelict in the middle of nowhere. It's a it's a pretty low
Yeah, pretty low. It's an abandoned shelter. Does that is it abandoned because what's inside is dead?
Or is it just abandon because it's just in the middle of nowhere floating
Yeah, maybe ooh ooh
Ooh, maybe maybe it is from a I'll tell you what it is
it's from a
slightly less than type
One civilization
so it's like a like a like a
A world that's about our technological level of advancement. It's their equivalent of the ISS
They had some kind of cataclysmic apocalyptic event that like wiped their planet out blew this tiny little space
Station, you know, we're talking like ISS level space station out of orbit
And we find like five dead alien astronauts in there
Okay. Well, we do have to board it first if we want to um, uh undertake this
Maybe we could gather information and that would kind of more definitively define like we scanned it
Would that give us a better idea?
Let's the moves are on page 224. Let's try to gather information by doing that
Um, there is if you read, uh, Nakata's assets
There is something about
Gathering information that you can add a plus one
Let's see. I've completely lost myself and I can't seem to find it. That's naturalist
When you secure an advantage you gather information using your knowledge of life forms
Uh, add plus one and take plus one momentum on a hit
All right, so here we go gather information
You're going to be rolling plus widths
Just define for me how you're using your naturalist ability
to
I mean, I guess you're looking for life
basically I yeah, uh, yeah, or life or
um
Signs of having life at intelligence. Yeah, or get intelligence or even just organic
Organic compounds. All right roll plus widths and let's see what happens
This is just a waypoint. Hopefully this is uh, this is this has no modifier, right?
Well, actually, no, you can add plus one because of your right, uh asset
So it's a week. All right, all right
On a week hit the information provides new insight
But also complicates your quest envision what you discover and take plus one momentum
Your momentum goes to seven
And what is the
We figure out something about it, but there's also a little bit of a complication. Obviously it being abandoned
Uh, you know, we don't know for sure what what it is or or who was in it or what but right so
Feeding off of my previous idea. Yeah, you got five dead archaic astronauts
but
their species was wiped out by some form of
space plague, okay
Gotcha, uh, and it's still, uh, it's still active the, uh, the
Virus or whatever bacterial strain that caused it is still active and if somebody goes in there, they might catch it
Okay, I think those are very interesting stakes. We know that that's what's going on
Do we want to continue probing or are we going to leave it be?
I don't know
Do we want to sacrifice somebody to like go out there and see if there's anything valuable?
If you want to quickly roll up a new iron lander to set them out as a
With our with our last good, uh, uh, space suit actually in fact, that's right
We only got one we can't like dock with it or so. Well, no, we could talk with it
But that would certainly make things more complicated. Yeah, I think uh, I think you know what I think
We're finding out about this space plague and with all the problems that we have
I don't think we have the time or energy to energy to be be fucking with a with an epidemic on this ship
So we're probably gonna leave it. Yeah, we got lucky with ishanna not spreading any kind of a plague
So also I would like to point out that ishanna's life purpose was curing somebody and now it's she who needs to be cared
Yeah, exactly. That's what I was saying when we were playing
All right, we're going to continue to undertake our expedition the ship speeds off past this iss relic
Uh, are you going to be moving with edge again?
Uh, yes, all right, because anything else would be insanity. Yes roll plus edge
We can't we can't okay
Um, you reach a waypoint
But this progress costs you
You can choose one. You're either going to make a suffer move
or
Face peril at the waypoint and then you can envision what you encounter
I think the remind me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think peril is better just because our health is relatively low and our spirit is relatively low
I don't think it's worth
Messing with those I agree. Let's just see what we'll take the peril. Yeah, let's just find out what random chaos
is waiting for us so
First thing I got to add a little bit of progress
Uh, so we are two more up. We're four out of 10
Roll me a d100 and let's find out what that peril is
57
57 I always have such a hard time here. Here we go on board dispute or inner turmoil causes a disruption
What is civil unrest on board dispute or inner turmoil causes a disruption
What kind of disruption happens?
I mean everything's going pretty good for us. We're on our way to a stargate. We've got the space vampire. It's behind us
Maybe there's a few shortage. Maybe now now with these tell tell me with these with these space vampires
Are they vampires in the sense that when they bite somebody
They too will turn into a space vampire. Um, I think we establish that these space vampires were kind of genetically
Created and I think we decided they don't spread it in that way
Um, there was some nebula dust that we collected that apparently scientists messed with it and created these space vampires
So you can't become one by being bitten, but they do suck blood
Okay, never mind. I was gonna say maybe somebody was infected
But maybe there could be suspicion of infection. I mean, we don't really know how
Yeah, like in like in fallout 4 where everybody's like worried that everyone's a synth
Everyone's now worried that everybody else is a is a space vampire or maybe like in the mess hall one day
somebody's like talking to their brother
And you know, they think that their brother's acting a little bit weird
Next thing you know, they pull out a weapon and they're threatening to kill their brother their own brother because they think
He's a space vampire. All right
How do we quantify this in terms of a role? I think we have to
Like make this matter in some way. We could face danger
Uh, in the sense that maybe nakata steps in the middle of it. Nakata could try to compel her
fellow iron landers to stand down
Um, I yeah, I mean, yes. So and I I assume nakata is going to be prepared to insert themselves. So
All right. So are you compelling?
Yes, I think it's going to be like uh, uh persuasion and if the persuasion doesn't work
Maybe you're you're pummeling the guy with the weapon. All right. So when you try to charm pacify encourage or barter you roll plus heart
Give me a heart roll and see how we do
Weak hits a weak hit, um
They'll do what you want
You can take plus one momentum
So your momentum goes to eight
But their agreement comes with a demand or a complication envision their counter offer
So they're willing to stop fighting but some kind of paranoia or something, you know, they're demanding something
They want this other guy locked up
Or even better thrown out the airlock
Yeah, they're they're demanding something crazy like that. Um, so if they want at the very least the guy to be
quarantined
We'll say we did it. I mean it it's uh
Do we roll to ask the oracle how willing this person is to
Go into quarantine. Uh, I wouldn't be very willing but if I thought I was innocent
Yeah
Well, and they probably know that they're innocent. Yeah, it's not that they think they're innocent. They know they're innocent
so
Yeah being asked to go into a jail cell just kind of because
Yeah, you're not gonna want to do that willing. All right. So if we think it's so definite
They're not going to be willing to do it. We either make we either compel them to do it
Or we try to face danger and force them or we
Let's see. I'm looking at the rolls here. We could try to
Forge a bond with them and get them to uh make a connection with them
um
Hmm
Well, they don't want any trouble on
The ship and they don't want to have to they certainly they nicota. They certainly don't want to um
I imagine kill
Somebody which is the help we can get. Yeah, the alternative here seems to be kill the guy that's that's uh behaving in a threatening manner. Yeah
Um
So, yeah, let's just try to force the guy to go into the the brig for for a night
Okay, so you're going to try to man handle them
Into the break hell. Yeah
We are going to face danger
Because you're doing this you're gonna have to roll with iron
Which is unfortunately not a great roll for
Well, nicota, we'll give it a shot. Okay
Give it a shot and we'll see how we do see how it goes. Okay. It's a miss, but I am going to burn momentum to get a weekend
Okay
Yeah a weak hit you succeed, but at a troublesome cost make a suffer move
Okay, uh
A suffer move means what exactly well you would either suffer uh harm
Spirit or supply
We have supply the who how would we how would we lose supply over this though?
Yeah, that doesn't yeah, I don't think I don't I yeah, I don't think so
I think we probably I mean the only reasonable thing seems to be we get hurt in the scuffle you could also lose momentum
Well, we're at two momentum now, so we would go to
Yeah, we'll go to one. That's too low. Yeah, it's not too low. It's just uh, it's a sacrifice
Okay, that seems
Like the best outcome to me. All right is losing the momentum point. Okay, so
You get him in the jail cell, but what is how is your momentum slowed by that?
God, it just wears you out. Yeah
Man, you saw what that's not what you wanted to deal with today
The whole yeah, yeah, it's just a waste of a day having to deal with this. Yeah
And it's you know, probably like emotionally not fun to put the guy that you know is fine
In a in a cell like that
Invision so it says envision how the price is paid and apply the cost
to a different suffer move
Or envision how this undermines your progress on a vow an expedition
Which is what we're doing and then clear one unit of progress on that track per its rank
I would remove two boxes
Uh, is yeah, so I didn't completely read lose momentum. It's pretty harsh actually
Yeah, actually, maybe maybe I'll just get stabbed or something. Yeah, maybe they just like punch you in the face
Yeah, I mean like
It's yeah, there's there's a struggle you get a little scraped up. All right, you're gonna roll
plus health
But you're gonna reduce your health to one first the health goes down
To one and then you roll it and let's see how which sounds great
We kit we kit
You are
Not wounded. You may lose one momentum in exchange for one health. Otherwise you press on
And there's no ancillary side effects to that momentum loss
um
Basically, you are going to stay at one or you can bring it back up to two, but you're gonna have to reduce your momentum by one
Oh
Oh to health, but you go to one moment. Yeah, like your health has definitely gone down
Okay, and you've made the roll which is good enough to either increase it
But you've got to decrease your momentum to do so. Okay. Let's do that
So let's go back to two health and we'll go down to one momentum beautiful with that obnoxious crap out of the way
You've got a black eye now though
We go back to undertaking our journey. Let's go ahead and
roll edge
Very quickly your asset is not
Undertake a journey. No, it's a secure an advantage
Nope. Yeah, although. Oh, you know what?
Yeah, were you about to say your vehicle's finely your vehicle's finely tuned engine speed your travels when you undertake an expedition
You roll a strong hit with six on your action die take plus two moment. Okay. Keep keep that in mind. That's good
I'd also just notice we have two experience which we can spend if we'd like
Uh, with that experience you could buy any of the new
Um, or any of the unchecked boxes within these assets
Just lose momentum
You finish an expedition and score a hit this journey straight your ties to your ship
So we'll give me a ship better
Yeah, but the next on the yeah the next one up on the ship is kind of underwhelming. Yeah
Uh, let's go under naturalist the next option up. I think that's based especially based on what has happened so far
I think that that's second one under naturalist is the best one
So when you make a move by taking a risky action to pacify a void or outward a creature
You decide this before rolling. You may re-roll any die, but must lose minus two momentum. I think that's kind of a cool
element to the asset
Absolutely. All right, so we're undertaking an expedition. We've spent that experience point. We're rolling with edge
um
Let's just hope you get a strong hit on a six because then you'll get plus two momentum on that
Let's hope that the most unlikely outcome occurs
I always have to hope for that
Opportunity hey
Um, you have an opportunity not only that the action score is six
So that means that momentum goes up by two just as we were discussing
Uh, erin, how do you feel that the most you you just said what if the you know the most unlikely thing to happen just happened
The dice are in our favor today my friend
Uh, so
Oh, okay. So we basically what you're saying is pick pick what opportunity opens up
Uh, yes, definitely. This is a critical hit. Uh, we can roll for an opportunity if we'd like
Uh, but because it's a strong hit. We we reach a new waypoint and we can mark progress
Uh
We have six out of ten
And I think there is let's see if I go to oracles. I think there is a like a opportunity
Rolling chart
Uh space sighting
uh
Space peril and space opportunity you want to roll on it
Yes, roll at the hundred. I just I just like that half the mechanics in this game are exactly like iron sworn
They just added the word space
No, that's not true
I have played six sessions. You've only played one
There are really the main difference between star forge and iron sworn is like the the rolling tables are are a lot better in my opinion
They they they kind of separated them in an intelligent way
To just make them more accessible. So they're they're they're got it
All right, so roll at the hundred and let's find out what that
opportunity 43
Friendly settlement in range a friendly settlement in range
Now we established that out in the void
The jungle the big mega corporation that runs space or runs the forge has like little pocket
Uh, um testing sites and things like that
Is this that is this something else? It is a friendly settlement that we know is in range
I don't think it should be a planet
No planets out in the void
But like a nice nice space station where you know this company is conducting some business
Yes
I mean, what if it's not even the jungle?
What if it's like literally like creatures that live in space and it's just you know, they're just like in a
a little uh
Like uh, some sort of a space whale
Yeah, sure
But what do we what do we stand to gain from that in star wars?
There's something called whaledons that are literally space whales
Um, although, I think they're in the planet monoculomar. We're getting off track. Anyway, is it like so if it's a space whale
Um said dean. It says it says
Okay, well, maybe that makes the thing. I'm about to say worse. Okay, but it says friendly
But maybe friendly in like the sense that it's
useful
Okay, maybe like it's a space whale. Maybe we become space whalers
You know get that that nice sweet
Sweet fatty whale meat to hold us over for a while sacrifice this damn whale
just to uh
He willingly gives his life because he's so friendly
Well, obviously we're gonna have to kill it. I mean
What can we even really get out of a whale besides its fucking blubber? I mean we have an insulated nutrition
Nutritional value. Yeah, that's a lot of that's a lot of calories in there
And you can eat the reason one of the reasons why they liked whales so much as food source
Uh as a food source is because the meat keeps for a really long time
All right, so that this whale can feed us for months. Well to give this whale a fighting chance
I think we should first make an oracle roll
To decide what are the chances that we are starving enough
That we even need to go after this whale because if you go after the whale, this is a whole
You know captain a have excursion to kill this whale
So I think it's unlikely that we need
This blubber
Do you think that's a fair estimation or do you want to make better odds for this? I
I don't know whether whether our food store is like
I think they're fine, but
We can we're literally deciding that right now with this oracle roll is our food low enough that we need to go after this space whale
76 or greater, uh, the answer is yes
95 of a bitch
Sorry Eli that was that was the roll that was the wall that kept us from killing the whale
And Aaron just pole vaulted over it. So I mean but come on. I mean you get it. You they're probably eating like MREs and shit
Here's these these people are all about survival. Yeah of the fittest
And they want some they want like some meat and boom perfect opportunity space whale
I like it's enough to feed it's enough to feed keep everybody everybody fed and and and well energized
I have this image in my mind of kb the artificial intelligence like
Opening the shutters and being like look at the glory of the space whale. They're like, can we eat it?
Yeah, immediately. It's like it's like ooh like it's it's like you're on a whale watching excursion or something
And all of a sudden somebody pulls out a harpoon and if we're going after this whale
We it's a it's a uh a progress track that needs to be tracked. So
Okay, how difficult do you think it is to stop this big whale? Maybe like moderate
That would be formidable
Well, no, not really. I guess it would be dangerous. That's too progress every time. I think that's fine
Yeah, let's do let's I mean, it's uh, it's a space whale. Uh, you know, let's uh, let's do um, let's do space moby dick
Okay space space whale spales space moby dick
Is that that was the name of the whale right moby dick?
I believe so. Yeah, so under summary
We have our uh different kind of easy to access uh progress tracks. We have space whale moby dick. Um, I'm gonna
I'm gonna put the menace
Well, the menace is pretty obvious like a whale can probably fuck up our ship if it just rams into us and stuff enough
Uh, so that's something to keep aware of
Uh, it's probably it's probably really squishy and easy to kill though possibly. I mean it survives in space
So it so it's it's probably um vacuum sealed within itself. You know what I mean? Like it's gotta be able to
But what happens uh, what happens when you puncture that?
Maybe maybe it's just like a big fatty balloon
We'll find out with a with a dangerous level though. It's it's gonna put up some kind of a fight
uh, so
I think dangerous is a fair place to start you are
You've got the ship kind of looking at it. You're locked on it. How are you approaching stopping this thing?
Maybe it doesn't have fins. It's got like big sail. Like, you know, like those solar sails or something like a solar
Yeah, yeah, it would that makes sense
um
This whale probably has secrets as elie, but no, no
Maybe you will maybe we'll we'll gain its power by eating its heart
The irelanders don't even want to try to communicate with it, huh? They just want to eat it
I mean no, what what why would they?
They're vikings in space. What are they going to do? They see something like this? What are they going to do?
They're vikings in space. I I want to check something real quick
I want to tell roll a d 100 51 or greater
This thing is intelligent and it's probably like trying to signal
Not attacking as you guys are attacking it
Yeah, all right, so as we go through this the ship is like this thing is intelligent
But you go on anyway, so how are we approaching?
Trying to kill this thing. What kind of armaments does the ship have? I think we kind of decided at best you have
A basic laser cannon or something nothing very impressive. We have not
This is like a transport ship. This is not a
War vessel, you know, I mean
Uh a laser that one laser cannon sounds like enough to kill a whale
One laser cannon does even if we do kill it though
That now it becomes a carcass floating in space. So we just going to drag it into the the hull. Yeah, you know like
What if we try to like retrofit the thing to like harpoon it, you know, that's what I'm thinking
I'm thinking I'm thinking is there any way that they could uh, they could you know
Put together like some kind of uh, like a compressed air gun to fire a harpoon at it
I I think that might be possible. Um
I feel like an oracle roll may be necessary to definitively decide but let's see. Um
I'm looking at the moves to see if there's some kind of you could try to check your gear
Uh, and maybe we have a way to like switch out
Detour it or something like that. Yeah try that. Yeah, because we want we want more of like, uh, um
Uh a grappling hook or something we want to puncture the flesh and grab it. Yes, you're going to roll plus supply
Which right now is a good stat for you. Fortunately is is pretty good. Yeah
Mists
Even with a plus five to that roll man
I gotta imagine the odds are very low to get a miss on that one
But anyway on a miss you don't have it and the situation grows more perilous pay the price
Uh rolling d100. Let's see what that price is
Hopefully this thing defends itself
Hopefully 68
It'll make it a lot more interesting, uh, your vehicle suffers damage
Good
I think this is good. Yeah. I think what happens is this thing is like don't attack
Your weapons are trained on it and it uses some kind of defense mechanism
Against maybe uh, yeah, well, maybe it just starts breathing nuclear fire
Like Godzilla, yeah, I love it. I love it anything Godzilla related will get a yes from me
So our ship was at a three
We're now at a two because that's what happens when you take damage
It'll we reduce it by one and now how do we fix that up? Yep
Uh, and if you could now roll plus two so just roll like a wits or a heart roll
Uh, and let's see what you get because the ship is sustaining damage
Wits or heart wits or heart. What's important is that you roll just a plus two
Uh
To the got it because you're rolling two for the the ship. Well, it's a miss
Uh, oh, that's bad on a miss. It's worse than you thought
Suffer an additional minus one integrity
Or lose momentum minus two
Oh, I'll lose the momentum. All right reduce that momentum by two
Down to one
Yeah, I think
The thing well, I mean you tell me otherwise the thing
blows radioactive fire on the ship
We have
You know structure failure all over the ship
The thing is leaking all kinds of fluids
And everyone looks at you like are we going to continue to try to uh, yep time to light it up
We we looked for the harpoon, but now we're we're lighting it up with a laser cannon
Aaron is literally on the verge of having us roll and I would like to point out
Technically it shot first
Uh
Yes, that's true
Um, so we don't have a harpoon. We have laser cannons. Are you entering the fray? Are you battling this thing?
Yes, we're gonna we're gonna spray and pray
We're going to spray and pray with the ship falling apart
All of the lives of our iron landers at risk in errant hands
Listen, you knew what you were gonna get
Let's see
You definitely don't have the advantage
We have not initiated combat. They have well, they are forced into a fight
Are you rolling with edge heart iron shadow or wits?
Um edge, please. Yeah, that makes sense
Go ahead and roll plus edge
And let's see how you roll
Uh
You are
Yeah, and I don't think any of your assets give you a plus one on this
Strong hit
On a strong hit
You will take bows going down. You're gonna add plus two momentum
And you are going to remain in control
So you still have the initiative
Now that you have the initiative you can either strike at this
You can try to gain some kind of ground
Uh
We could
When you fight a battle and it happens in a blur envision your objective so you can kind of decide one main objective
Uh, what do you what do you feel like doing?
So far my main wind is in your sail my main
My main objective is
burying hot
Lasery photons
Into this thing's brain. All right, you're attacking at a distance. Why don't you roll edge?
Strong hits hell yeah, uh, you're going to mark progress twice
You dominate your foe and stay in control. So if you're going to mark progress twice, that's four progress
You're now at six out of ten
With six out of ten
You can either continue to try to strike at this thing
But if you miss it'll probably have control and it'll strike at you and possibly destroy the ship
I feel like I feel like we want to be a little more sure than six out of ten. All right. All right
So you're going to continue to strike or what would you like to do?
um
If continuing to strike is an option
Let's continue to strike. All right roll plus edge
See if the dice are with you
The two strong hits in a row
Let's get another strong one of the odds. What are the odds of an opportunity?
This is the chaos that I asked for when erin comes on. This is um a critical success
Uh, we're going to say that you mark progress twice making
this a
10 out of 10 you have 10 progress out of 10
And it's an opportunity so
You can waste the opportunity if you want on just I succeed or we can say something else. Maybe there's some other
Advantage maybe what you didn't realize this big mama was hiding a couple of little babies
Succulent little veals hidden behind them. That's a little too sadistic even for me
But here's what I'm thinking
You know how whales
You know like what you know what ambergris is? No
It's like this substance that whales vomit
That's extremely valuable. Oh because it's used in the making of
Among other things. I believe like fine perfume
It's also very nutritious and has been eaten by uh, you know, it's like a considered a delicacy in some cultures
That's like a big old thing a whale vomit with like a bony like tooth or something in the center
So i'm thinking as the whale
is
In its final death throws it vomits
Throws up a bunch
There's just this huge old ball
Of space ambergris. That's probably worth a whole shit ton of money
Okay, and they kill the whale. Okay
We've got the whale
Let roll 2d10 and we're going to kind of finish this uh thing
It's gonna be hard to fail
That's a six and a 10 which is in total a weak hit actually so let's go to
Take decisive action when you seize an objective
Uh envision how you take uh, yeah, this is the progress move on a weak hit you achieve your objective
But not without cost roll on the table below roll the d100, please
And let's see what the cost is. This is weird because there is also an opportunity but
Making it interesting 92
It gets complicated the true nature of a foe or objective is revealed
The true nature of a foe or objective is revealed
So you still get that sweet sweet
delicacy
but
What if
What if something
What if something like we remember that the space vampirates
wanted this stuff or
or
What if
What if it's that it's like
There's no more room. It's like either the food or the or or the uh
Or the the space amber gree. Yeah, this is very complicated because we rolled an opportunity
Which is like as good as it should get but we also have this slight complication
Maybe we can't take like the whole ass whale
Like we have to like use the laser cannon to like bisect it
And we can pull like half of the whale in all right
But we have to leave the other half of it to to space route. Gotcha. I think that's fine
That's good enough
We haul in the big half of the whale the meaty half
We haul in the what what is it again? Say the name of the thing amber gree amber gree amber gree
Or maybe it's amber gris. I have no idea
Uh one of one of those either way we have
Done about all that there is to do at this way point sounds like to me. We need to continue now
We have six out of ten for reaching this stargate
You can roll now
Or do you want to continue to undertake a journey?
Let's continue to undertake a journey because six out of ten is not the the best
in in terms of odds all right
Roll edge as I assume that is what you will be using
Yes, see how you do
Man upper unity man good rolls today
On a strong hit you reach a way point envision the location and mark progress
Per the rank of your expedition now if you'd like
That opportunity could be you just um get a total of 10 out of 10 if you want me to just double your progress
Or it's just something really really good at the way point that you reach
What's it gonna be what if the way what if the way point we're like
You know we talked about you know this big corporation
Having like an outpost yeah of research outpost of some sort. What if like we we come to this
Uh way point we find it's one of those and they're like oh
We see that you have a bunch of space amber greed
Here's a bunch of money for it. Ah, okay. All right. I like that idea
I like that idea now we did kind of establish that the jungle would not be too happy knowing that
Basically these experiments escaped if we do this I think it's worth at least facing danger
Because maybe they deal with us and they and they give us the money, but now we're on their radar. You know what I mean?
Uh
Remind me why we wanted to avoid that again
Well, we were their experiments like like the planet was an experiment by the jungle
Ah, so they they so it'd be like if all you know if the rats got out of the experiment
The scientists wouldn't be too happy about it. You know what I mean?
Hmm
Maybe there's just like a a trader or something that isn't necessarily associated. Yeah someone someone who is willing to pay
Yeah, pay who someone who's willing to pay for this thing. I think that's totally cool
It could even be one of the other corporations that exist
Uh, the point is is that we do it. We make this trade
Uh, let's just kind of determine
When we explore a waypoint, um
Let's roll a d100 and let's see what the make a discovery
Table says, uh, maybe they have something worth trading that is is valuable to us
interesting
48
Miraculously preserved artifact or specimen
An artifact would be cool. If it was like some kind of you know powerful artifact or
Something that did now when we when we say artifact. What exactly do we mean? I'm not you know, it doesn't really define it. Um
Ghosts of Eli brought up an interesting fact. Maybe it's a cure
Um, we do have maybe it's a shot on her
That seems unlikely
That seems unlikely that they happened to have a cure for
Furious shana. Well remind me how a shana got became a shana basically got bit by something and it gave her like a really bad
sickness
That was no
I feel like that's gonna require getting her there's some kind of a medical center center where they could like study
What it was and like synthesize an antidote
I I really doubt that that'd be like just something they had
available so then
What kind of artifact or specimen could you know what?
We trade i'm going to i'm going to continue on the vikings in space
thread yep
and
Say it is just a really big gun to replace the laser cannon with
All right, whatever weapon they have it's a weapon that is way better like a big-ass
like a big-ass rail gun or something you just
Punch through hulls like like paper. I like that. I like that. Oh, I mean while we're at it. Maybe this person
is a bit of a
Fixer-upper kind of guy. Maybe we could even improve the ship while we're while we're here. Yeah, that's exactly what i'm thinking
All right, let's do this. We're going to
Not a suffer move. We're going to try to companion with stand damage
Overcome destruction recover, so we're gonna
Repair
Is one thing we're going to attempt to do
But we're also trying to
We said we're trying to
Improve the ship somehow. I feel like there is a way to do that. Let me look real quick at the
Assets here when you
Finish an expedition
We will stay in damage
Let's just roll a repair roll
And if it's good enough
We we we have this new weapon and all that kind of good stuff. So you're going to roll
wits
No, no, i'm sorry. This person is rolling for you. So you're going to roll supply. It's a plus five. That's much better
That is
Substantially, yep better weekend
On a hit which it is
You gain repair points as appropriate to the situation per the table
So we're at a facility. It's a weak hit. We're going to go up by three. That's very good. Oh god damn
up by three points
spend repair points as follows unused points are discarded you could clear the
battered oh, I see so these three points actually go towards something we can either
Take plus one integrity on a vehicle
Fix one broken module
We don't have any broken modules clear the battered impact on a vehicle by two points
Take plus one health for a mechanical companion. We don't have that
Repair any other device repair any other device. Um, so basically every
point
cost two vehicle points
So if you want to spend two points you could increase the health of the ship by four
See take one integrity on a vehicle. I think they mean like a smaller all-terrain vehicle, right ship
So if we were to use those to repair the ship, we'd take two of those and get plus four to integrity
Which would max us out at five
I think it's worth doing and I I that's how I understand the rules now. So that's what we'll do
We'll just make a decision. We'll go back up to full power
Sweet and we now have a slightly better weapon. I don't really know how to flavor this
I don't know if it's worth taking a plus one
I think what we'll do is we'll go to plus five on the health of our ship
And just flavor wise we have a slightly better weapon. I don't think unless we roll the strong hit
I don't think it's worthy of really mechanically doing anything too much different
Sweet
All right
That was our waypoint. We have
Uh, two four six eight out of ten
Do you feel ready to bring this to a close? Let's let's get there. All right or not
We are going to try to reach a waypoint and to do that
Uh, we are going to
Finish an expedition
When your expedition comes to an end you're going to roll 2d10
And you're going to hope that at least one of them is less than eight
Here we go. Oh boy
2d10 all of these crazy risks and good rolls come to this
Five and ten a five and a ten. That is a weak hit
On a weak hit you reach your destination
You complete this survey. You may mark reward on your discovery legacy track. I'll do that
Um, but you face an unforeseen complication at the end of your expedition
um
The legacy reward is one lower than
What you should earn. So very quickly i'm going to go to your progress. We have a
Uh legacy
Which i have not added until now
The legacy should have gone up by one, but excuse me should have gone up by two, but instead it's going to go up by one
and
What is the unforeseen complication we find when we get to this stargate?
I have an idea, but i didn't i'm interested to hear what your idea is
The stargate
Is damaged
Hmm
I was going to say the stargate's just not on
but the damage is uh
That's going to require some fixing
I believe I believe so do you imagine this stargate as being like a dyson sphere like it's just kind of like a big
It's
it's probably
Just a you know in this advanced society. It's probably a stabilized wormhole
So it's probably like um
It probably just looks like a big old sphere of warp space
Ah, okay. So it's just like this continuous
It's in this continuous state
You're saying
I think so. Yeah, like in uh like an interstellar. Gotcha. So how is it damaged where we're not able to just go through it?
Um, well, there's got to be so for a stable wormhole
There does have to be some sort of artificial structure that keeps the wormhole stable
Otherwise, it's not you're not going to be able to pass through it because it's going to be infinitely thin
so whatever device it is that they've constructed to uh
Create the wormhole and then keep it open wide enough for a ship to pass through has to be damaged
So the wormhole is still there. It's just it's in its natural state where it uh converges to infinite thinness and the ship cannot pass through
I was just going to say the doors were closed
where
That's basically what i'm saying is that the doors are closed. Yeah, maybe like maybe like the thing itself is still technically working
But the the entrance and exit is blocked by like big giant doors
So the so the question well, it'd be a sphere because wormholes are spherical
Well, I'm saying like there's like this giant structure around this spherical object. Like it's just like a it's just a metal
Uh, a structure that is maybe spherical in shape, but there are
Passages that are being blocked
Got it. You know what i'm saying? Yeah. Yeah
So it sounds like we probably need to board and get those doors open
Then yeah, fuck it boarding party boarding party. The problem is we only have one
Spacesuit if there is no breathable atmosphere. So I think the first thing we should do is maybe gather information about this stargate
Get a little scan going and hopefully there is breathable oxygen
I'll say that if we at least roll a weak hit
There is uh, some kind of breathable oxygen or atmosphere here. Uh, let's
We could either explore. Well, we'll explore the waypoint once we actually get there first. Let's gather information
You're going to roll plus width
Oh
Miss
On a miss your investigation unearths a dire threat or reveals an unwelcome truth that undermines your quest pay the price
Roll a d100, please
66
Okay
66
Your vehicle suffers damage now
We can either take that or we just decide that there is no breathable atmosphere
And that means that you got to go in alone. Nakata's got to go in alone. There's only one space suit
I mean that seems reasonable to me
Okay, and if that one if anything happens to that one person in that one space suit
Eh, that one it's they're they're disposable. Nakata's fully aware
As they suit up and the ship gets as close as possible to dock
Um
Probably a place to dock
There's probably power and all that kind of stuff
We are going to enter this place. We're going to give it a a little progress track of our own. We'll call it the
Um, let's say we want to open
The doors of the stargate
The threat might be the the the space vampirates if they if they show up
Or we can think of another threat if we think of one
But how difficult is it going to be to get in here find the doors turned on?
Do we know who
built these things?
Well, it's right now. It sounds like we're leaning towards
Whatever society the jungle functions in but it could be like, you know progenitors or you know
Yeah, that's what I'm that's what I'm wondering. I'm wondering if it's a mass effect scenario where they're already there
Or is this something that's been constructed by say the jungle? Let's ask the oracle 51 or greater
It's uh, it's uh, uh aliens
Under 51 is us humans
53 53
Which means it's over which means it's aliens
So in that case, it's whatever it whatever it is
It's probably going to be
Really arcane and difficult to figure out how to operate this thing
You know, it also brings up an interesting question like what is happening in the meta narrative that
This that this thing has been closed off like did the jungle close it off?
Maybe maybe they close the
the
Way for people to get here and that's why they're able to do experiments here
Because nobody comes here. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean they don't want people they don't want people fucking with their experiments
So it's an issue of somehow the the jungle corporation figured out how to close one door
And we have to figure out how to open it
um
We'll call this dangerous. We'll say it's dangerous
And we need to kind of venture in so let's
With the last couple of minutes, let's make some rolls and see how our first
Our first entering this whole thing first, let's kind of make some decisions about
Um, what this place is like
um
Let's see descriptor
Why don't you roll a d 100 and let's see if we can describe this place
I'm not sure it's going to be perfect. We might have to end up going with something else, but
Seven archaic archaic the rolls speak for us
This place is ancient technology just like we said, so let's not even worry about that you come into this place
What's the first move do we go to the back the front of the ship?
I imagine we have especially since we're coming out of this, um
Ironlands scenario. Yeah, there. We probably have no idea where to look
So we're probably picking a direction starting to systematically search for something that might look like a control panel. All right
We are
Undertaking an expedition
Within this place. Are we moving with speed? Are we trying to keep under the radar or are we staying vigilant as we do this?
um
Speed only because I want to use edge. All right roll plus edge as you race through here trying to
Find which is which is great until the expanse crab monsters show. Yes, exactly
If i'm going to protect a stargate, it's going to have crab monsters
Strong strong hit great on a strong hit you reach a waypoint envision the location and mark progress
So I will mark progress for us. We're two boxes in
What kind of a waypoint do we think we find I can roll for it or
Let's roll for it. We don't we don't know we don't have any idea. What's in here?
Let's see roll two d hundred
And we'll find an action and a theme for this room
69 and seven so for the action we have
persevere
And for the theme we have belief persevere belief or a belief that perseveres
Like uh some kind of alien sanctuary
Yeah, maybe they just come upon like an altar or something. Yeah to an alien god that who knows you know what that was
Is it is it like in a human form or is it like the aliens worshiping the thing it's probably like
Because I think we're we're a stat we've established. There's no there's none of these aliens left
but
I'm imagining like
You know in mass effect not that I want to keep throwing that reference out
But it's it's really easy
um
You know they find like all of these like uh statues of like the society that like came before so I imagine it's like
Like an alien statue like it's maybe vaguely humanoid whether it has like six arms or something crazy like that
Sounds good. So we come upon a relatively benign room. Sounds like we need to continue our expedition
Uh, are you rolling with edge again?
Yes, go ahead and roll edge
Strong hit great. All right, uh
Let's see here we go on a strong hit again
You reach another waypoint and we will mark progress once you roll another 2d hundred
And let's see
The action and theme of this room
52 and 89
Okay, uh 52 hide
89 you said
Yes time
Hide time
Time or time hide
They find uh, you fight we come across a room
That when you cross over the threshold
uh-huh
The flow of time stops
Flow of time stops does that mean you stop or does that just mean like everything you perceive everything else stops
You're hiding from time and and maybe it's a uh a circumstance of the black hole
You know what I mean? It has strange effects. Yeah. Well, it's a wormhole another black hole
but maybe they have like maybe they have some kind of like
like some kind of
Smaller black hole and they figured out how to contain it such that an occupant of the room
Uh, it doesn't get sucked into the event horizon. Uh, that would virtually stop time. Okay. Okay
Because time has stopped here
Uh to get past this room. I do think we should
Do something not face danger
But I mean maybe face danger. Maybe gather information. Maybe I don't know
This just feels like there's something left to accomplish in this room or we can just keep pressing on if you like
maybe um
Maybe with like the time has stopped
Maybe now is a good opportunity to
Uh, well, we only have so much. Well time is hmm, but from our perspective. We only have so much oxygen
So never mind. I was gonna say maybe we could just like hang out there and rest and heal up or something
I mean, but look if you roll well you successfully rest if you don't roll well
You start suffocating because you run out of oxygen in the room. Yeah, and we don't want to risk that. Okay
So, all right, maybe we'll just bookmark this location in case for some reason stopping time becomes useful
Yes, I think it's a great idea
We are going to continue to undertake an expedition roll your uh edge
I
Doing some good rolls here weak hit
All right, so on a whoops missed it. Here we go
Uh, okay on a weak hit
You reach a new waypoint
But the progress is going to cost you
You're either going to make a suffer move
Uh, or you're going to face a peril at this waypoint
Uh, let's face a peril. All right roll a d100 and let's see what that peril is
alien crab monsters
142
31
Hmm
Well, this is space-born peril. So maybe there's other kind of perils that I can roll but for 31 it says infestation is revealed
Uh-oh and infestation is revealed
And infestation of killer defense robots. Yeah possibly maybe they're self replicating robots or something. Yeah, that's why there's a an infestation
So we did roll a weak hit which means progress. So we're now six out of 10
But now we have this issue of the self replicating killer robots
Uh, if we want to get past them, we probably have to face danger
Yeah
Yeah, we do with our two with our two with our two health
You are going to either roll with edge heart iron shadow or wits
Yeah, you know, let's roll with edge and just try to
outrun them
Everybody always rolls with edge with uh, nakata and I just always imagine a character just like naruto running through the entire level
That is exactly what I want to do. All right roll plus edge
And let's see how you do is you face danger a strong hit very nice
Uh, you are successful take plus one momentum
So that momentum is going to four and we can continue to undertake an expedition. Let's say this is the last roll of the night
Uh, we're nearly at 8 30. So you are going to um undertake an expedition sounds like with edge
Yes, roll that edge
Let's end on a strong note
We kits
Why don't we hit you reach a waypoint?
Uh, but it's going to cost you you're either going to suffer or face a peril now
Aaron you can choose to face a peril or suffer or you can leave it for the next player
I am going to force the next player to face a peril. Okay. Let's roll the d100 and let's find out what that peril is
47
Mysterious wreckage portends a new threat mysterious wreckage
Portends a new threat. So like maybe we come into like a hangar bay or something and
there's like a wrecked ship and
Somehow we understand that things are getting worse now. Maybe the wreck ship is what caused these self replicating robots or something
Yeah, so okay, sure
I mean the robots to me seem like there'd be some kind of a defense mechanism
Sure, that's still running. Sure. So I'm wondering if maybe
Maybe the reason that the gate won't open
or it's closed
Is because we stumble upon an area that looks like a bridge or a control room
Or some the operation center and we find that like all the consoles have been stripped out
Interesting
That doesn't maybe even it looks like like you. Oh, I'm sorry continue
My only contention is that it has nothing to do with a mysterious wreckage portends a new threat
Right, right
What do you think of this? What do you think of this?
What if we do get to like a control area and there are like monitors and stuff and we realize there's like a ship that has jammed itself
Into the door. So it's like it's not a matter of getting the door open
Through computers. It's a matter of like getting that wreckage out of the physically out
Right almost like something crashed into the exterior hall. Yeah, and like blocked off the hallway
Maybe what we learn is we've got to get back in our ship and like
Get to the wreckage and like try to move it out of the way. So it's like a new kind of
Challenge we still have the same level of progress, but it explains why the job's not over
Right, I think that makes sense. And then you know, once you made that hole whoever's made that hole is going to have to
EVA their way in
Well without an EVA we'll see they might have to do it just with the one space to just kind of floating in space
But we'll leave that for the next player
Aaron, thank you so much for playing with me. I hope you had fun. Yeah. Yeah, that was awesome
