There ya go, Philistine. Doubt the droids sensors can penetrate that check, and you can use that 36 as either your next attack roll or to replace a defense for a round.

3 in my suite. and it says, attack roll, skill check or replace a defense, so yes, major. though it would have to be your next roll.

Its only limited by uses in you suite. Sharka's not a mind reader yet, though, so you'd have to ask him to help. I'm assuming of course that you are all somewhat aware of Sharka's capabilities, even if you can't explain them.

Ah thanks, was going to check the book when I got home. Thought I was locked out of targeting the same person with farseeing in 24 hrs if I failed.
Edit: Just confirmed, I can't use farseeing if I fail to beat his will defense for another 24hrs.
So I can use it on anyone else, but not the Givin. Sadly, I can't target the scientist since I haven't met him before.
I'm starting to think fleshing out my platoon was a bad idea. Jarik is going to need a new liver if the rate of attrition doesn't decrease. Hurray for alcoholism!
Yeah Battleship was...no fitting descriptor is available. Let's go with bad.
It was... A two hour long advertisement for a game that, to my knowledge, does not exist - Battleships vs. Aliens. Now if Hasbro had actually made the movie about Battleships fighting - shocker - Battleships, then I think the movie could have served as a decent advertisement for their product. Given that the movie was advertising a game that does not exist, I must say it was, quite indubitably, bad.
That and the movie was just god awful.

Well this mission shows a bit more of Kelaeon's "Get the job done" practical side...
It's not that he is cruel, it's just that the Emperor's assignment was free the doctor. Anything else is a luxury.
He views spearheading (not rushing off alone with no intent to slow down) as the practical option to eliminate initial defenses and threats while scouting, as the most viable compared to standing around waiting.
In regards to the lost Red Ackley his view is "Most likely dead, impractical to stay and look."
Not a bad attitude to take, given the need for speed. OOC I completely agree. The doctor far outweighs any member of the platoon, and if we need to leave some people behind to secure him, so be it. However, IC, I cannot do that. Militaries have a habit of trying and executing officers that abandon their charges.
Point of interest… So far, what Graff has seen of Kel in the field has been limited to 1) in the Old Imperial Docks, Kel barging into a situation that Lillian was handling perfectly well and karking the whole thing up, and now 2) dividing the forces under his command in the face of an unknown enemy with apparently overwhelming numbers (judging by the last message of the shuttle crew) and charging a quarter of that force headlong into an obvious ambush situation. He's seriously wondering what this guy is doing running around without adult supervision.
If you want to "move fast" to "get the job done," you should look for a way to bypass the labyrinth*. Rushing into it blind is more likely to get the entire "spearhead" force wiped out than it is to accomplish anything useful. Also note, labyrinth. A difference of only a few seconds, if it causes the two widely separated groups to lose sight of each other, is enough to result in people taking different turnings and getting farther and farther apart, rather than catching up. This isn't a matter of sentimentality, it's a matter of not acting like Random Victim #347583 in your average slasher flick.
* Off the top of my head, by climbing onto the tops of the crates that make the maze… or by backing one of the starships up to it, firing up the primary sublight drive and just blasting it away.

@Fel: A note on what I'm telling Hammer. The military terminology 'combat ineffective' implies that a unit has suffered >=50% casualties, and unless the situation is dire (which in my estimation, it isn't), they should be removed from a combat environment. I'm not calling her an ineffective leader or soldier by any means. As it stands, I have given her a direct order to take the squad and hop on the CASVAC that comes down, and sit the rest of the mission out. I expect she will be pissed, but that's too bad.
Oh, yeah. Traps. Did everyone else forget about those, too? That was silly of us.
I'd like to reiterate the option of backing up one of the starships to the maze entrance and using the drive to blast a clear path through to the other side.

This is shaping up to be a Horror chapter. As such, it'll be a miracle if any of the stormtroopers that go in with us come back out - in fact, I'd say it's no better than even odds for the PCs. If that.
Also, the two fresh wounded have to be considered as already dead. This is a hot zone, and our pathogen is nasty, lethal, and worst of all airborne. Any breach of suit integrity is a death sentence.

Well this is getting sticky. Im of the same mind as Graff. That said, not sure what to do about it. I can't justify shooting them out of hand, but neither can I justify allowing them to remain behind and become possible threats. Ethics rears its ugly head.
