Oh, and Eli died. Horribly. With blood and brains spraying from the smoking remnants of his skull, his last thought one of horror at how his comrades had deserted him...
And Rasosk was last seen running away from the battlefield in (hopefully) the direction of some sort of escape-type ship/vehichle/means of propulsion. A very fun session indeed!

WHAT THE HELL?

I was able to play the next session, but you decide to kill me off now?

[scriver]

Hehe, not you, Eli#2, the guardsman we ledt in the shuttle

[Johnfalcon99977]

OH. Did he really have to be named Eli?

[scriver]

It's the Bob of 40K, they said. Glow did promise not to name anyone else that in the future though, after having to explain it wasn't you for the third time or so.
Don't worry, we did our best to save your namesake. Even went to face the pirate captain for his sake.

You and Cassius got teleported back to the home ship by mistake, however.

Here is the log for anyone interested: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38820453/9172011ChatLog.html
(note the beginning was just macro work and trying to host on my side w/ Taricus's help)

By the way, everybody has 1200XP from the adventure so far (plus the 500 starting). Much easier to keep track of than separate XP, which was becoming an issue.

Sorry 'bout missing out guys, I was called away to deal with tenancy things all night. I'll be fine for next week though, I promise.

I'm reading the log currently, but can I get a quick smmary of, what happened, and what next?

[Glowcat]

-Rasosk was teleported onto the pirate ship at the bomb's location, but due to a malfunction caused by the supercharge attempt it managed to be two-way, transporting Eli/Cassius to the Pilgirm.
-The team set the bomb in the engine room before going to meet the captain. Nihilus stayed behind to arm it if necessary.
-The captain first offered the players to join him and his crew, but when that was refused he still wanted to negotiate a way to get off with his ship intact.
-Mordeci accepted his deal but Nihilus had other ideas, and armed the bomb to explode in 15 minutes.
-Dastard was making good on his deal when one of his men informed him that their auspexs detected the bomb's activation.
-Mordeci, now put in a very bad situation as he moved out into the center, had to distract the pirates while figuring out what happened.
-Things turned sour with a bad lie on Mordeci's part and the captain figuring that things were out of Mord's control, making the navigator useless to him but still a threat
-Karina took advantage of the confusion sown by Blather rolls and managed an annoyingly good called shot at the captain, apparently killing him with a single strike.
-Combat erupted with Mordeci and the released (Guardsman) Eli right in front of the pirates' line in the hangar.
-Nihilus teleported into the hangar using the now repaired Teleporter Pack Rasosk came onto the ship with, then jumped into the Aquila Lander where he took control of the spacecraft's weaponry.
-Rasosk, being the coward that he is, decided to run off and find another escape route. Along the way he encountered the first group of prisoners being escorted to the bay (from the earlier and now broken agreement) and tricked the guards into believing the launch bay was lost to the enemy.
-After a vicious battle that left the team heavily wounded, and Guardsman Eli dead, the launch bay has been secured (though the doors are still closed).

We stopped with 11:40 minutes remaining on the bomb and the battle completed.

So what the hell am I and Cassius going to do next session?

[Taricus]

ARGUE!

[Johnfalcon99977]

How about talk PLOT?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Eli: Plot Plot Plot Plot-y Plot Plot?

Cassius: Plot Plot Plot, Plot Plot Plot!

Eli: PLOT PLOT?!

Cassius: Plot.

[scriver]

Also of note - when Ras tricked the pirates and told them their captain replied, they replied something like "what, *dead* dead, or about to get up in [some number of time] dead?" so unless that blast killed him enough, we might have another recurring villain here

Unortunately, Karina blasted his whole head away, and probably some of the upper body, so we might have missed the chance here.

Dangit Scriver, you had to give the whole 'Eli' thing away!
And I still have no idea about advances, seen as I couldn't download the book from the local library. I could probably use a proxy to download it though, but I'm kinda lazy and that sounds like work...

Glowcat, any decision on the psychic stuff I want to buy?

It's still too early for your character to acquire a new Discipline beyond the ones you started with (Telekinesis and Telepathy). Acquiring a 3rd Discipline is only possible once you've achieved Psy Rating 6 - around the same time a normal RT Astropath character would gain it. You can learn the Fearful Aura power however, as it sounds within the sphere of a Telepath, but Spasm sounds as though it would fall under Biomancy if it were converted to RT's Discipline only system.

[Yoink]

On the topics of advancement and such, if possible I think I'll just grab Dodge, then pour most of the rest into fellowship? Or into deceiving and bluffing in general.
...Or wait, maybe I should take a point or two of BS... Actually I don't even know what skills there are.
Ok, summary: I think I'll put all my points into avoiding bullets, convincing people not to shoot me, and MAYBE a couple into shooting back.
