11.Slrr Focusing Through the Noise
@Slrrxvinslrr knows how best to help the others. A practice of focusing ones mind beyond the casual limits respected by others. And so it is he sits down and prepares himself, meditating on forcing his will over realty.
Your modifier is -2 with the +2 from extra ISP, you need four tokens in 3 rounds.
Critical Fail loses a token
Fail gains nothing
Success grants a token
Raise grants two
Failure on a club means catastrophic failure and I narratively make the worst outcome.
Any number divisible by a 4 represents a club, except 56.

Re: 11.Slrr Focusing Through the Noise
Slurr settles in for his meditations; it's a rough start at first. So. Much. NOISE. And rattling and shaking and WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THA--. No. No, this is not the time to allow distractions. Clear the mind, expand beyond the borders of the physical shell, focus on all the things of light and wonder and DEFINITELY DO NOT think about who you're going to eat first if all this goes south. Probably Monza; you know what she eats.
That's better. When you get right down to it, the lines between the wonder beyond the mortal coil and the wonder within really aren't so different. Both contain boundless possibility, right there waiting for someone to reach and claim it for themselves or on behalf of others. Today, it's to empower his friends. To save lives, and continue doing the Good Work of ending the horrors bad entities inflict on the helpless. Wicked desire melts away - evaporates like so much condensation in the noon day sun - and Slurr finds that spark he's looking for, not quite within reach. Yet.
Some mystics are approached, and provided the power to do Right and Good in the universe. In opening themselves to the supernatural, they break loose the bindings on the mortal mind, and expand their awareness. The reverse is true for Slurr; while the Spirits left their mark on him, it's because That's What They Do. His own desire and Will to do Right and Good, once the window into his soul was cleared for him, proved far stronger than any power he was lend by Supernatural forces. His own hand and mind, with occasional guidance, the instrument by which he pursues the Good Work.

Re: 11.Slrr Focusing Through the Noise
Sorry, took a long time to reply to this. I failed to realize you posted.
Turn two as @Slrrxvinslrr begins meditating he finds the hum of the engines and aggressive vibrations of the vehicle are distracting. But not so distracting that his decades of self discipline and training do not allow him to pull through. Forming the powers needed in his mind begins and the effect easily takes on the form he desires.
META: You have two tokens, you need two more and have 2 more rounds to get them. The penalty is -4, if you spend ISP again the penalty is reduced to -2.

Re: 11.Slrr Focusing Through the Noise
This is certainly not the sort of Rock and Roll that Slur would have wanted for his meditations. It really takes all his effort and training to focus clearly on the task at hand, but the Vernulian will not let down his new companions!
He also doesn't want to die out here in the middle of nowhere surrounded by weird vampire space-jellyfish either, since that would be highly embarassing to talk about in the afterlife. Seeking that place of perfect calm in his mind, Slurr finall coalesces all the power he needs for the journey ahead. Now it's simply a matter of shaping it effectively into the forms and power he needs!
@Ndreare OOC: I think that brings me to the 4 tokens I need, but if I understand correctly I need one more roll which will also determine whether I get raise(s) on the effect, right?

The process is a success and @Slrrxvinslrr is able to reach out with his power infusing the crew with a small bit of his power.

Re: 11.Slrr Focusing Through the Noise
Within the 'scape of Slrr's mind, the power he has gathered is wrought into the effect needed. His mental imagery sees him weave several golden cords together, each empowered to dive into the subconscious, untapped potential of the crew's pilots and connect the conscious mind with that hidden talent in the form of a mentor psyche to guide the body and mind toward better skill piloting the ship.
It's been touch and go there the whole while, but success! The cords will last the duration of their trip - and thensome - and provide enough heightened ability that the pilots will have a preternatural ability to quickly self-correct for mistakes or uncooperative ship hardware.
@Ndreare That brings my total ISP expenditure to 19 (4 + 4 + 4, or 12 for the 3 rounds of bonuses, and 7 for the total effect.
With the Mega Mod, our pilots even get a free re-roll each round! Wooo!
2 Bennies left.
I'll be down to 23/30 ISP for the trip due to maintaining the power, after resting.

But as a note it should be 11/30, you cannot recover power points while maintaining a power, so the 19 expended will not be recovered until the power is dropped.
