Map has been updated I think that everyone knows what their icons are but I will make a key for the players eventually.

Looks good!

So much for my idea of Kroot wearing parkas.

I'm curious how my defending will work. Will I have to roll for the defenses as well? I don't want to feth someone else up by not protecting them because my poor luck, but then again, it seems unfair if by hiring me that employer cannot lose his assault. Are the Kroot serving as an NPC for that duration, because then people don't have much of an incentive to hire them aside from having variety in the army.

Sorry for the sudden predicament, but now that I thought about it, I can't really come up with a simple answer.

I would treat it as this:
Roll for Kroot to notice approach
(Confitional roll: Success): Roll for Kroot to get the initial jump
Roll for Kroot Defense
(Conditional roll: Failure of both above): Roll for Admech defense

If exploring an area:
Roll for Kroot to assess threat/spot enemies both npc and player
(Optional) Roll for Admech (lower awareness) to spot the above
Roll for Admech to locate point of importance (time required to do so)
Roll for Admech to notice secondary points of interest (ruins, wrecks, signs)
Roll for Kroot to set up defenses

Sorry if this has already been asked, but would one require access to a space elevator to move between Crion and the moons?

Good question, in fact i never thought about moving from planet to moon or vice versa.

Same, I'm just setting up a stable base for my cadre, I'm mostly going to be keeping to myself throughout this crusade unless a new threat arises.

Yes you do.

Also covered: No camping on the space elevators.

Because, amongst reasons, if you do and then for whatever reason cannot participate in time, it feths over the entire area.

I do think you're allowed to keep some forces near the elevator to keep an eye on it; however, you just can't camp on it to keep others from using it. So like I could leave some armsmen near it to warn me if, say EON starts moving his flayed legion up onto my moon.

Yeah that's not the same as camping it to block people on the moon though.

Indeed Buttery One, it is not the same

Good point. And each elevator is in a capture-able area, so it makes sense that you'd be able to keep some sentries nearby.

I have to get down from my moon first, though, and that first step is a bit of a doozy...

Thanks BC. That way it would give people a much better chance of getting a success of some sort when I can roll for a modifier (scouting ahead/attempting to notice the assault) and then an actual defense for defending, and if all else fails then the Admech (or anyone who employs the Kroot) get a chance to defend/grab the loot.

ok new chunk up. only 1800 words this time

Nicely done, Jhe. And the ending remark was a rather good one. Who doesn't love a bit of drinking after a job well done?

And Vanden, your update was rather intriguing. Perhaps the Sorcerer has found his newest toy, seeing as how he broke the last one?

Are the players making up rulez now?

Well, I asked to anyone in general, and you never said any suggestions, and others did. How am I supposed to know it will be an issue if you didn't say anything about it, TS?

I don't know. We will have to see what problems occur.

Also

If you could indicate where your forces are spread to everytime you post in the narrative thread, it would be most appreciated and helpful.

I'm confused, why is it an issue that others suggest how my Kroot will work, but then you agree to test out their suggestion because you don't have anything better?

And I'll just throw a little header such as +++Governor's Mansion+++ or something or other, if you don't mind.

Just toss it in a spoiler at the bottom

Not relevant for my guys. They've not moved from where they last were, and I'll make it clear when they do.

First chunk is up for my Knights! Managed to defeat some Feral Orks, please ignore how poorly its' written. Now all my Knights are heading back to base for repairs, then it's banquet time!

Just remember that the base is a tad basic as yet. Onlyjuat landed at tgr old spaceport.

I've git some work to do, but I'll try and get boots on ground today.
In all honesty if stuff keeps speeding along I may have to just concede I can't do this.

Honestly I do 12 hour days too at work + travel too

Those chunks took a week + but write when you have time. No rush

The pace is a bit high at the moment, but that was to be expected with the start of the thread

I'm sure things will slow down a bit soonish (or at least, I hope so), and then we'll all have a bit more breathing room


Which reminds me, the Remnants still need to park their butts somewhere on Crion or the Moons...

I'm just aware that I missed my own intro and am still trying to catch up with that, and the story is about to hit a second imperial group event, and I'm not even on the planet.
And I'm holding up half of the Kroot, and I'm aware that I need to do stuff faster.

I totally haven't posted my intro to the planet either. But I just got onto spring break. So. That'll go up. Ya'll can watch the flayed ones set up macabre camp.

It's no big deal on my end, BC. I'm certainly not about to launch a giant assault with them anyway. My current installation only has two Kroot actually doing something for the main scene involving my roll, and three total for the entire installation. I can work with a small amount of characters, and I have another eighty or so sitting back at base on Governor's Mansion.

As for the rate of writings, it should simmer down soon. It exploded with participation because people had all of the intros already written, and people are excited to get things going.

It's because a lot of people already have stuff written up for their armies BC, and they were eager to post them (myself included). It'll simmer down soon, and things will fall into their normal rhythm
