All I know is, I want to see a team of all Halfling Fighters.  Screw party balance, screw decent classes, screw racial synergies!  4x Halfling FIGHTAHS!

With Spears.  4x Halfling Cheapskate Fighters.

You see? This is why the Swarmfighting feat is awesome. As long as they stick together, each one would get +1 for each other that they're with, for a total of +3 with all of them together!

And 4 Bucklers with the Shield Wall feat!  Plus they're all Small with a +2 racial Dex bonus!  And they get bonuses to thrown weapons, which includes SPEARS!

Monkey Grip + Swarmfighting + Shield Wall!

(Honestly, if we were to actually do this, I'd do Hexblade 3, Fighter 2, Master Thrower 2.  Hexblade 3 gives Mettle, Master Thrower gives Evasion.)

((With the waitlist, how is it going to work? When someone dies another person pops out? Is this going to be a very brutal game?))

(When someone dies, the next player(s) land in the next droppod, which will NOT be randomly rolled to determine destruction.  I'm intending to kill people regularly, but hopefully not ever TPK'ing.  If the game goes well, and I don't get to kill people, then I'll probably increase the number of players, but at that point I'll need synopses for peoples' actions.)

(Waiting on an actual action from RangerCado.  I would assume you'd be prepping a camp area, although what that entails I do not know.  Do you want a fire?  Are you going to desecrate the forest in order to build some makeshift shelter?  Would that be on ground level, or is everyone going to climb trees?)

I, at least, am just scavenging from the pod.

(Do you mean you're tearing it apart with the Droids or just trying to open the other passenger pods?  I initially interpreted that as salvaging the whole thing.)

So, in other words, five-finger discount.  Or maybe a 40-cannon discount, but even that might be a trifle light for lifting an island from an entire Empire.

400-cannon discount might do it.  Just need about 2000 people to man and maintain the cannons.  And 1000 people to feed those 2000 people.  And 1500 people to guard those 3000 people.

The First Steps

Everyone gathers up their gear and, with the exception of Carl, finds themselves a little burdened, but not excessively so.  Carl hefts his gear with ease, and occasionally picks up the Droid to help it over any overly large tree roots.

Selina leads the group in the direction of the droppod that hadn't collided with the other two.  The party skirts along the edge of the jungle, seeing hillside periodically.  Carl repeatedly finds himself treading into rocks repeatedly, making the journey harder on him than the rest.  After an hour of travel, most of the party has worked up a sweat.  Carl's breathing quite hard, but the rest of the party are in good spirits.  Everyone is capable of seeing the smoke rising above what can only be the droppod.

The party finishes the trek to the droppod.  The droppod itself has been crushed by the impact into the earth, and blood seeps through a few of the openings.  One of the hatches was smashed open upon impact, and you see a crushed mass of flesh.  Whatever armour the rider had is now completely useless.

You find:
A battered but operational Basic Shock Emitter
A mostly intact Droid
2 Batteries
Erroneous materials.  Equivalent value of 300 credits.



Seeing no reason not to, Carl pulls the Droid out of the mess.  He fiddles with its controls, trying various universal passcodes before finding one that brings it online.  It activates.  There appears to be nothing wrong with its programming.

The sun is a few hours from setting.  The party can tear apart the droppod for materials if Carl programs the Droids to do so.(it is unlikely anything survived the crash, but they can salvage the pod itself, although it will take some time.)

Selina and Serina both notice that it's too quiet for a planet with so much apparent life on it, although they can't place why.

It has been 2 hours since landfall.

(GM OOC: Man, one of you is named Serina, the other is named Selina.  I'd use your characters' last names, but one of them is bloody annoying to remember.)

A 51.  Dead average.  Sounds good for you guys.

I am? Adds up to 3000 unless I lost the ability to count since I swapped from exo to spec armor.

Nope, it was my bad.  I was thinking Batteries were 300 for some reason.  Don't even know where that came from.

(( just update the first post to change the title.))

Yeah, I figured that out before i even posted.  =p
