Boy or Bomb
The resolute 8 are surely to have their mettle tested. They are face with the choice to board an alien vessel in search of a legion mechanic Taylor Thomas, or do the head into the mine shaft making their way to a kreeghor base with 5he immanent power to dystroy the world.
Each choice will be resolved through a quick combat. The scene penalty is at -2 assuming a full group of 8. For each number less than 8 there is an additional -1 scene penalty. For example say, 7 went for the bomb and 1 went for the boy. The 7 going for the bomb are at a scene penalty of -3, the lone badass going for the bomb is at a -9.
Please select your desired task.

Re: Boy or Bomb
I am willing to go to the ship and get the boy out with Rodney, if the rest of you go to the Save the World.
Terra will come to the ship with us, because she is super legendary so that will make a huge difference, plus she will go there no matter what.
Honestly saving the world is priority 1 and 99% of our PC effort should be there. If Save the World fails then everyone dies anyways.

Re: Boy or Bomb
To answer a few questions. It is a quick combat, so only really one success needs to be warrented on each task for a “good” outcome. I’ll obviously try to follow the narrative design of the players when resolving what actually happens. This is different than a dramatic task which has a set amount of defined successes needed.
Basically this will be a chance for each of you to be a badass hero, whether its going to save the world or Taylor Thomas.
Oh, its cute if you think allies will be benificial in these kind of circumstances.

Re: Boy or Bomb
Hmm! So the tasks are mutually exclusive?
That is, we can't take the ship and then use it to take the base? Or vice versa, take the base and then once it's secure go after the ship?
I mean, I get the sense that's how it is from your posing this question, but I like to make sure I'm not overlooking obvious things.

Subject: Part 5.1: Attack of the Kreeghor ( Dramatic Event)
Out of character, I think Ndraere and Rodney make a better team to accomplish the less important mission. If not Tera needs to go with another player. Yes I know Pen and Luci have d12 just like Ndreare, but he still thinks he is better.
Ndreare wrote:Once the repairs are completed on Rodney and Kulring Ndreare thinks and then proposes and idea. "I think Rodney and myself can get into the shuttle and take care of what needs done. The risk of failure is too high and the remainder of the team should try and stop the bomb from going off.
"If we decide that I should go with the main party I think Penetent, Lucianna, and Kryssia combined may match my skill. Though it is questionable, it would also leave far fewer of us on the primary task of stopping the bomb. Which must be our primary goal."
Looking at Tera he adds. "Whichever teams goes Tera must be opposite Rodney and I as Rodney and Tera are the two most skilled in technology and one of them must be included in each team."

Re: Boy or Bomb
Everyone's better than Lucianna right now. She's cashed on PPE. Nothing left, unless we've somehow passed a few hours since blasting the Kreeghor on the ship.
I voted to go to the base first, only because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. She doesn't like leaving the ship there unmolested, though. Leaving transport and armament in the hands of an enemy you're about to turn your back on is a terrible idea.

Yeah, I'm in a serious hurt for PPE myself. Just used my last 4. I have options* but I am waiting on the next scene before I go to that extreme.

Ndreare will withdraw then. One life is not worth the risk.

Re: Boy or Bomb
One person alone with the help of the NPCs we'll head up to the ship to rescue the boy. Everybody else charge the base and save the world.
This mission is the opposite of save the Cheerleader Save the World. Instead everybody who tries to save the cheerleader boys is risky in the world.
