Alright. Yelmalio, you're sitting at the bar of a sleazy space saloon on Magnolia IV. Smooth Jizz music plays out over the crowd from a beat-up Floopbox in one corner. You stare down into your drink and ask yourself: "What the gronk am I doing in a spithole like this?"

(any post ending with a "?" is a cue for PCs to act)

Mommy and the daughters argue when suddenly a naked NotQuesty and original Gladion falls out from a nearby janitors closet, he can explain that! Then plot happens

>>1576710
nah, every little reply I get give me motivation to continue, and if there are no replies then there's no reason to update the quest anyway.
I would only run like 1-2 days a week though, if I ran a quest every day i'd probably get burned out.
Will probably start running a quest again when my exams finish.

>>1576710
To avoid burnout and give me time to prepare, I only run mine two days a week. But I'm still not very experienced, only ran two episodes of my quest so far.

>>1576710
Whenever I've ran something my players ran out of motivation before I did. So rather than motivation I lack the skill to engage my players, clearly.

You’re dead, right?

Half-naked, standing on a road decorated by clouds, you firmly conclude that you are, in fact, deceased.

Sweet.

Walking down the road, you contemplate your short-lived time spent breathing. Thinking, you thoughtfully stroke your non-existent beard with a hand.

What... did you actually accomplish?

You take it back. It was actually a complete disaster. Maybe if you’re lucky, some hindu god could hook you up with a reincarnation deal and have you reborn as a trash panda.

Without long, you come up to the pearly gates, where some Saint Peter wannabe stands guard.

Aric learned that capitalization and proper spelling were important on 4chan, and stopped typing like a retarded fifteen year old.

>>1576366
Some anons are not as stingy as others, Aric notices. They give him some supportive ideas about writing stories.

(Great idea, anon)

>>1576366
Aric realizes that there are no reasons to not kill himself. Instead he must kill himself in order to go to hell. With a new start in the underworld, Aric can start from the bottom as a grunt/tortured soul to a true path of greatness as an overlord of hell.

Questions.

1. Is there a way to create more soldiers?

2. It states in the rules that a 4+ die is rolled they lose a solider and again when no soldiers are standing for capture. What dice is being rolled and how many per action.

3. Are the only actions moving a unit and capturing a tile or are there more actions that can be taken like building a wall to increase the "4+" roll.

>>1586717
1. Reinforcement creates one soldier in a province of your chosing

2.Between 1-3d6 depending on how many soldiers are being dedicated to an attack

3.Per turn, you get either one movement, which lets you move any number of troops to any adjacent province, or a reinforcement, which creates one unit on any province of your choice. Also, you may always attack once per turn, with between 1-3 units on a tile that is adjacent to the one you intend to capture.

So right now, there is no way to improve the odds on that 4+ roll

Super-group heal, go!

Mafia Recruits wall off the market.

Gangsters move around to help clean off the drug dealers and pushers into legitimate professions like bartenders or general store clerks. Some agree, other don't and step off.

The Mirage merchant is angry. He tells you he is from the southeast quarter, from a legitimate settlement unlike your gang hellhole. They have legitimate arms and vehicles, including a fleet of police choppers, and from your attitude they will retaliate, either economically or militaristically. Your choice.

At the police station, Officer McMill appears wearing only socks and a police hat. He is guarded behind bulletproof glass in the police station. He points guns at you, and heavily advises you not to invade. He is, however, willing to trade food or water for guns. What will you do?

Your name is Morgan Barret, high school student, and part time vigilante. The vigilante part feels official now that you've had your first negative run in with the cops after you helped them. Hell, it isn't a stretch to say that you may have saved some of their lives tonight. The opposition was heavy, numerous, and packing significant firepower. You know fuckall about guns but it doesn't take a specialist to know that rifles that spit out enough bullets to turn squad cars into swiss cheese are a bit more impressive than service pistols.

And the boys in blue will be scratching their heads over this one for a little while. Yeah sure, Batman disappears when you aren't looking at him like some sort 80's slasher movie monster but can he straight up ghost his way through obstacles? He can't right? You're pretty damn sure he can't. That'd be a bummer. And it would infringe on your brand. You gotta have a brand eventually, a name.

Nobody has had a chance or the inclination to ask you since you started doing this about a month ago but that may be a blessing in disguise since you'd rather not be put on the spot about it. What if you say something lame like- Poltergeist? Or if you say something that's taken by a hero that already has some fame? You're not a afraid to admit you're a nobody. Not to mention that you live in Batman's city. Ugh, why couldn't you have moved to a place with a hero no one really talks about. Like Green Arrow

Guess you shouldn't be worried about that too much anyways, you're not in this to get famous. And besides, you helped people tonight. Even if literally everyone you helped shot at you.

Right now you're chillin on top of a much taller building than you usually do. An apartment complex, just soaking in the night air and thumbing your totally-legal-police-scanner app. It seems that bank robbery was resolved by police but a quick look at the instant new app tells you they got away with a great deal of money. Good thing that shit's insured. Though you remember the sounds of gunfire coming from that incident and silently hope that nobody had to die for that money.

>Continued

>>1575404
The apartment fire was resolved pretty damn quickly apparently. A dark figure (more than likely Batman) was seen taking apartment tenants who were out of the reach of the firemen away from the flames and safely into the hands of firemen and paramedics on scene. Though it seems they went after what appeared to be... a man in a jetpack? You don't even know why you're surprised, honestly.

And it seems that whoever broke into Wayne-Tech made a clean break. Which makes you think that they were just that damn good, considering the kind of money Wayne has. They really must have some serious state of the art security and this guy gets away clean? Now that's a professional.

"-requesting backup, requesting backup." A channel on you app flares to life and the officers whisper low voice concerns you much more than if he were screaming for help. "requesting backup at the Dixon docks. We have two officers down and- oh christ. Just send help, please. I'm keeping my head down in a shipping container but they'll find me. Roman Sionis is here, and they'll find me eventually. They'll fucking find me..."

Well, shit.

>Let's go. The docks aren't too far. You're really gonna have to haul ass though.
>Maybe find something else to do, last time you punched above your weightclass you got knocked out.
>Write In?

>>1575406
>Let's go. The docks aren't too far. You're really gonna have to haul ass though.

It’s a rare moment of peace for you. You stand on the observation deck of the Gambit, gazing out at the semicircle horizon of Phaeda, framed by a backdrop of stars and inky void. As you watch, one of your ISDs warps back in from a reconnaissance mission to Kuat. It’s been quite a while since you’ve been able to kick back with a nice cup of simcaf and just watch the stars… Since you shipped off Anobis, in fact.

Anobis. A farming planet embroiled in a civil war, at a glance. In reality…

You check the time. You have a few minutes to your next event. As you take your next sip of simcaf, your mind wanders back to Anobis…


We’re just going to jump right in here, hold onto all y’all’s butts.

Your foot almost slips on the mist-slick metal of the ship’s loading ramp, which is in motion to close. You manage to grab a hydraulic pump and hoist yourself into the cargo hold before it slams shut and kills you. You roll into it, do a quick push up, and draw your blaster. There’s some cargo held down with bindings that are definitely in violation of some regulations, a small cargo towcraft, and a ladder leading out of the hold.

"What?" you asked, dumbfounded.

Brakiss frowned, looking annoyed he has to repeat himself. Not a good expression from a Komissar and Dark Sider sent to investigate your second in command on trumped-up charges of treason.

"I asked you what it is that you're hiding from me," he says each word slowly as if you may not understand. You watch his eyes as he talks, wondering what sort of wellspring of anger lurks behind them that let him act with such callous disregard for human life and decency. Only moments earlier Brakiss's compatriot, a quiet female alien, had left with your Executive Officer, too weak to make his own way after Brakiss was finished with him. Now, the Komissar was questioning what secrets you were keeping from him.

A thousand thoughts are racing through your mind. You had deleted the electronic records of your decision to use emergency measures to save the lives of Lieutenant Vells and his fellow Tie pilots. You knew Komissar Brakiss wouldn't care if you had saved the lives of some of your best pilots, but he would care that in doing so you violated procedures. You'd declined to submit your grievously wounded pilots for evaluation to be made into the cybernetic terrors the Empire called "Shadow Droids".

Your slicing job of the databanks was shoddy, you'd deleted a few other records at random to make it look less targeted, but any in-depth investigation would likely find what you'd done. Of course, the other possibility was that Brakiss could simply rip this information from your mind as you'd just watched him do with your XO, Lieutenant Tierce.

It wasn't clear what the Dark Sider knew, what he suspected, or what he was trying to bait you to reveal, and without force talents of your own, there was no real way to tell. Lying to Brakiss could result in him exhibiting another fit of rage as he'd displayed when he cleared off your desk using the force. Though, he looked exhausted after his "interrogation" of Tierce, maybe he was too weak to try that mind reading trick again.

Of course, you could come clean and tell the truth, though Brakiss may take no sympathy with you and you would be revealing thins he'd never truly suspected.

Additionally, rank has privileges. The only other person with knowledge of the cover up was the Chief Medical Officer, in fact he'd brought the situation to your attention in the first place. It would be quite easy to pin all the blame on him.


>Tell him everything
>Scapegoat the Chief Medical Officer
>"I think I've been very forthcoming, my Lord" (lie)
>Write in

A couple things: First, I know these games usually start slow, so I'm going to give extra time to this vote for players to pick up since it's so important. Secondly, a correction. Last session I erroneously called Brakiss an Inquisitor. He's not, he's a Komissar.

>>1575908
>Tell him everything about how we had to burn through our cybernetic stockpile and did. It dones't need to be a lie, but it doesn't need to be the 100% truth.

His been honest with us.

Hi guys.

***

The harbor is... it looks brand new. Quite massive and modern, considering how few ships are anchored at the moment, making it look even larger than it is.

Well, as the rest of the fleet throws anchor on it, about 1/5th of it becomes full, which only goes to further show the huge size of the infraestructure.

We are keeping a few ships in the air at all times, though. Just in case.

The large grey stone blocks the harbor is built with are nicely cut and placed with just barely visible seams between them, suggesting very good craftmanship... if we didn't know it is possible for a [Craftsman] to do so with magic but... while it is possible to pave a road section for repairs, can you actually build a whole road or building that way?

With the death of the vizir, it looks as if the Alquian welcoming comittee is having quite a bit of trouble deciding on what to do, but after a few minutes, a young man (likely an ape or monkey beastkin, it seems) walks forth and introduces humself as the son of the recently deceased vizir.

He bows deeply as he welcomes Mako, and soon the officers and nobles behind him imitate his actions.

>Let Mako introduce herself
>Act as her representative
