Which would you prefer? As far as I can remember in base game (not about to dig through all my books) there aren't any non-warp sources of possession, so I could go either way.

I have no real preferences. It was just a thought that occurred to me based on Hannabel's back story. I'm fine with it applying to warp possession, that's still a good fit for her determination to be her own person.
We'll say it outright prevents warp possession, then, and gives a bonus to resist any other means that might come up. Go with +10.
Away from the 20th till after Christmas some time
Happy Holidays, everyone. I know it's a busy time, so I haven't been poking people much, but I hope you'll all be ready to come back and keep going once end of year madness has settled. Kinda funny that a big end of adventure rewards thing coincided so well with traditional gift-giving time, but I promise I didn't plan it that way, it just happened. Have a good one, and see you all on the other side of the season.
Thanks, I'll be around. I'm just keeping Hannabel quiet because she doesn't really have much to say other than be suitably awestruck. :smallwink:
Merry Christmas you lot. I'll try and get something up soon or otherwise I'll be back to normal posting on the 30th
Happy new year, everyone. One last post to ring out 2023. See you next year.
Happy new year, still six hours to go where I am. :smallsmile:
And an extra helping of appreciation for our GM for keeping this game going into its sixth year! Hannabel is looking forward to 2024!
Happy new year
Happy new years everyone! Can't believe it's our sixth year. Great job Destro!
Has it really been six years? Kind of blown away by that, feels so much shorter. Well, I'm certainly happy to have you all along. Dedicated players are hard to find.
Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Ok, last chance for Footfall business before I lead into the next adventure. It seemed like doing some colony stuff had the most interest, when I asked what all you wanted to go for next, so that's where we'll be heading.
Remind me - was Footfall where the "pilgrims" were supposed to disembark?
And do you have any objections to us checking for acquisitions before we go on our next adventure? If not, how many checks would be okay?
It was, yes. Are you going to drop them off and leave them to it, or did you have something in mind?
Yeah, you can do a couple acquisition tests if you want. You'll be getting +1 PF for the Astropath thing. Don't go nuts with them, but one or two per player is fine.
This is the first day in about two weeks that the forums have actually cooperated for me; I've had long delays for each page, when it would load at all. I figured I wasn't the only one. Hopefully that problem, whatever it is/was, is working itself out.
I also remembered today that we got the location for a planet owned by Macharius's enemies. During that future vision. I think Anika made a point to take records. We could also think about following up on that. If we're collecting our fleet together anyway and taking stock of our assets, maybe it's a good time for a significant military campaign, for vengeance and profit both.
Yeah, forum being unreliable is part of the reason it took me so long to get a post up. I'm hoping it'll get better.
Haval and I were discussing options back when the Sting was leaving Scintilla, but IIRC the most concrete idea we had going was somehow separating the known bounty hunters from the rest and spacing them, possibly in a fake accident. Of course, doing that in the vicinity of Footfall means a lot more witnesses, so at this point I think it's probably better to let them get off and try to do their job. If they prove to be trouble, we can deal with them then.
Re the acquisition tests, I'll check to see what's still on my wish list and roll in a separate post.
So it's a question of whether we're going to keep an eye on them at all. I think Anika suggested that Hannabal didn't go out into Footfall alone anyway.
I remembered that there's a list of books in Faith and Coin so maybe Anika is going to look into research materials considering that we just met that Daemon. I'll work out what I want to roll for tomorrow.
@Leon
Pfft, just because the accident is fake, doesn't mean the baddies journey from living, breathing baddies to cold, dead corpses is. Besides, Ravia can just hop on a shuttle and harvest the dead once it's done. :smallbiggrin:
@Haval
Maybe it's time for Anika to set up an intelligence network on Footfall to keep Macharius apprised of what's going on there? First job, keep an eye on the bounty hunters...:smallsmile:
I could certainly come up with some way to run an intelligence network, if that's something you want to do. I think Echo wanted to establish little enclaves of Rings around in various places, but I forget if Footfall was on the list.
Yeah I need to do that while we're passing through. Maybe instead of shopping. So can we find someone in the crew or someone who lives here. If it's locals I just need someone who might be willing to astropath Anika occasionally with reports.
If rolls are needed
Inquiry to find someone on the crew who's suitable for hanging out on Footfall
vs. Fel 47 (+10 for Etiqutte?)
[roll0]
Inquiry to talk to local criminals
vs. Fel 47 (+10 Peer Underworld)
[roll1]
@Destro_Yersul
Are items like Blessed Ammunition and the Blessed Edge upgrade available on Footfall, or would ity require a trip to a more religious location to get them with an Acquisition test? (I don't want to abandon Hannabel's current weapons loadout, but it would seem advisable for her to get some stuff that will work better against daemons and such.)
There's not much Macharius needs to do on Footfall- he will mostly be praying at the cathedral. I suppose he can try for a a company's worth of light carapace for the new Praetorian recruits:
Commerce [roll0] vs 92
PF: [roll1] vs 48 (58 +0 company -10 Rare)
EDIT: The opposed Commerce may make the difference. I'll spend a FP for another DoS if it'll tip the scales.
Ok, I rolled the other half of the opposed commerce with dice, and you definitely win by enough to afford that. Macharius drives a hard bargain.
Probably helps everyone just saw him talk to Space Marines, and the Thousand Sons ship hasn't left yet. Probably the same reason Anika apparently can't find any underworld people to talk to right now.
Anyways, yes. You get the armour, and yes, Footfall will have a way to acquire blessed stuff.
Great, time to roll some acquisitions then!
Blessed Edge for bolo knife: [roll0] vs. 67 [PF 57, V. Rare -20, Single Item +30)
Blessed ammunition for bolt pistol: [roll1] vs. 57 [PF 57, E. Rare -30, Single Item +30)
Edit: Nope and nope!
Sorry it's taking so long to get you guys an update. Every time I've sat down with time to write one, there have been server issues. Hopefully soon.
