"...I think Celling mentioned to me at one point that Fansworth thought his troops had been compromised by Goonswarm. It may not be the rebels that took the ship. Consider the ship suspect, not hostile yet. Can we attempt to board?"

Captain Corvis looks at Erin Quill. “Goonswarm?” he asks. He turns to Enir Nest. “Someone’s going to have to explain that to me.”

“A criminal organization, sir, one notorious for its skill at corruption and infiltration,” Nest says, with a hint of contained distaste. Nest turns to Quill as well. “Celling’s last report said they were destroyed.”

“He said their leader was destroyed,” Quill responds. “There could possibly be plans still in motion.”

“I see,” says the Captain. “We won’t be able to board until they’re responding to hails, but we’ll proceed with caution for now.”


On the John Philip Sousa

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Path randomness: Roll 2d6, for Goons and Fansworth

Results: 1 1

The status is that the Goons are 5 turns from the boats and Fansworth is 12 turns away (having received a head start due to Goons bickering.

The parrot is right behind the Goons, having just sabotaged their boats.

What does the parrot do?

[Glass]

Crap on the goons, and go to sabotage the boats they were going toward.

[3] - Partial success

The bird flies over and poops on...

Spoiler: Who? (click to show/hide)

1 - serious Goon
2 - hungry Goon means a reroll, as he's dead
3 - brainy Goon
4 - grabby Goon
5 - quiet Goon

Result: 4 - grabby goon

...the grabby Goon. None of them stop, however. "Keep going to the boats!" the serious goon shouts.

[5] - Success

The parrot flies to the new cluster of boats, and sabotages boat 2.

Boat 1: Ready to go
Boat 2: Has a hole
Boat 3: Ready to go
Boat 4: Ready to go
Boat 5: Ready to go
Boat 6: Ready to go

Goons progress: 1/5
Fansworth progress: 1/12

What do you do?

The bird pecks at one of the boats.

Wow, these things are actually hard.

Fansworth: 2/12


Falkland Islands

"Five point four two kilometers," Celling announces.

David glanced at the assembly of sticks Celling had built as an impromptu sextant. "Are you sure about this? Because if you're wrong, we're getting very wet."

"Math doesn't lie," Celling stated.

"As I've said, I can't back out of a teleport. If there isn't a valid landing point over there," he said, pointing at the ship, "I might be able to get us back, but no guarantees."

What is your response?

A: "Get us there now." Arrive immediately, but greatest risk of missing.
B: "Let's wait a while to be more sure." Arrive in d6 turns, but better roll conditions.
C: "Not worth it. Stay here." Abort the sequence.

B.

And the parrot should keep trying to make holes.

Also, where is Fansworth actually going? Please provide the map with locations.

These are the paths:



Roll d6 for how long: 2

Roll d6 for parrot: 4

Boat 1: Ready to go
Boat 2: Has a hole
Boat 3: Has a hole
Boat 4: Ready to go
Boat 5: Ready to go
Boat 6: Ready to go

Goons progress: 2/5
Fansworth progress: 2/12
David progress: 1/2

What do you do?

[Glass]

Parrot: Continue pecking out holes.
Fansworth: No longer any need to be stealthy, this path is out of view anyway. And hell, if they realize there's someone else alive on the boat, they might slow down to investigate.

EDIT: A note because Blue decided not to update right now after rolling:
The parrot got a 5 for making a hole in boat 1, and David got a 4 on his teleportation.
