A(stropath)1s: Did you want to send a message before everyone jumps into hell?

Oh, right, I definitely did. Is it too late now?

Nope, you should be good to send it now.

But like, in the past.

I wonder how badly we'd be doing weren't it for the Warpsbane hull's and Runecaster respectively adding a +10 and +20 bonus to warp navigation on top of whatever other bonuses we can scrounge up, like the elfdar's Navis Prima-equivalent giving +10. Having no Astronomicon for guidance really sucks.

Talking of which, I assume our Eldar Seer is navigating from the Runecaster component since it looks like a Sanctum analogue. And though a bit late, I do agree with the reef decision.

[Caellath]

I just remembered we failed to set up Ship Roles. Does anyone have a specific one they might be interested in that fits their character?
Guerra is Lord-Captain of course, and I'm assuming our Astropath is the Choir-master.

The Seneschal has several options: Master of Whispers, Purser, Ship's Steward, High Factotum... First Officer's a good one as well in my opinion since it takes advantage of Symonne's high Fellowship by giving her the Command skill when dealing with the crew, which's very useful.

Our Elfdar should probably be at least Carto-Artifex for the bonus. Or Warp Guide, but that's Navigator-exclusive and it gives a bonus to Stellar navigation only, weirdly enough.

Indaria would probably be well-positioned for Master of Ordnance. Alternatively Twistcatcher? Chief Bosun is technically possible but I'm not sure having our chief disciplinarian be an aberration would work well.

Twistcatcher Indaria: "I heard you where a mutant too lets be friends "

[Caellath]

Exactly! She can make new friends and drag them into rating work.

Also I need to check the book and decide which one's the less risky of the two options. Is Warp Rift the one where you're delayed plus roll for warp encounters each and every day you end up in it?

[Egan_BW]

I have no idea about roles. Putting Kedia in some kind of maintenance position might be a good idea because humies might need help maintaining Elf ship components.

My understanding is that a good Seneschal is all of those at once. That probably isn't mechanically possible, at least at these ranks, so I'll look at the ship role rules and make a selection.

Where can one look up these roles? I didn't find them in the core rulebook.

[Maximum Spin]

Ship roles are in Into the Storm, starting p.224.

[a1s]

I accept the role of Choir-master.

[Maximum Spin]

Let me know when you guys are in a position to collect allies. I could use my original character concept, or another one that's a Void-Master.

[Lenglon]

I'm unsure about Indaria's role. I had envisioned her in a more hands-on bodyguard-type role, but that isn't an actual ship role, and the closest to it (Master of Arms) is based on Command tests and nothing else, and she's not good at Command. Master of Ordnance makes the most sense for Indaria, however because of the way the Arc Royal is armed, the benefits of that role don't apply very much. I get why Twistcatcher could be amusing, and she would actually be good at the job, but actively enslaving those just like her isn't something she'd sign up to do. So I'm a little stuck.

[Maximum Spin]

Ship roles are fully optional. It would also be reasonable for Stirk to give you a custom role that, say, helps you take hits for the Lord-Captain.

[Sirus]

Man, there are so many roles that only a Seneschal can do, or are done best by one. I'm torn between Master of Whispers (for the spymaster role I was originally angling for, though at the moment I lack a couple of the crucial skills), First Officer (for reasons Cael mentioned), High Factotum (business dealings both clean and dirty), Steward (matches up with Symonne's backstory but again I'm missing skills) or Purser (good old fashioned accounting).

What do y'all think would be a good addition to the team?
