Dammit Fel, I was this close to bringing ion grenades down here.

Edit: Are they some kind of networked intelligence? Would killing the 'leader's shut down the rest?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. The cargo pod separated from the shuttle and was sealed off, right? Who is in the shuttle, who is in the pod, and where are the spiders?

Jarik and the Banshees are sealed in the Prisoner Containment Cargo Pod thingy. Everyone else is on the outside or in the shuttle. The Shuttle is not sealed in any way, so people can come and go as they please. The only reason I said no one else was in the Shuttle was because no one put themselves in there (and thus would need to spend an action to get in).

Think of the shuttle and the Prisoner Containment Pod like a Semi Truck and its trailer. The two are connected by a hitch, and in this case an passage way. When Jarik triggered the alarm, the trailer sealed itself off from the shuttle and the shuttle then jettisoned the trailer. The Trailer is now preparing itself to open all of its vents in order to space the unruly prisoners. Unfortunately for the trailer, we're on a planet, so Jarik can't be spaced. The walls of the trailer are thick enough so that only a Lightsaber or some explosives could get through it.

The Spiders are only inside the Trailer.

Did the door to the cargo pod seal and/or lock, or did Graff succeed in opening it? Or does the cargo pod not have an exterior door?

No, the trailer's door console is completely dead. You'll need to hotwire it.

Is this the sort of thing that could be fixed by a blaster pistol jump-start? It's been a while since Graff shot up a console, we wouldn't want him to get rusty and forget how!

I'll let you roll a Han Solo check. d100 roll, 40+ you can solve this like Han Solo. If you fail, then the situation gets more intense and more dire (like Han failing his hot wire attempt on the Forest Moon).

40+ succeeds? I'll take those odds.

When Graff wants to close and lock an open door... he shoots the control panel. When Graff wants to open a closed and locked door... he shoots the control panel.
Mechanics checks are for suckers.

If my suspicions are correct he's also a genius. And on my enemy list.

As for house rule, not that I'm aware of. I'm not good with telepathy, I'm thinking and hoping he can read my mind. Otherwise I'm just thinking to myself needlessly and all he can do is send messages :P

The perfect telepathy talent is what lets me do full sentences and such, but others can only send back single-word emotional states(anger, fear, worry, etc.).
As an npc, though, he can do whatever the dm says he can.

Sometimes NPCs get cool abilities that PC's don't.

Not to be contrary Fel, but there are only three bugs left, unless one joined. We killed the initial one, I crit the second and third. I only bring this up because I'm trying to figure out how many droids are between me and the exit to this deathtrap I find myself in.

Some help with droids would be lovely by the way. If the whole platoon shoots at them, they will probably get hit at least once. Graff may also shoot the little bastards, if he so chooses.

I officially have no idea what you're talking about.

Edit: Oh, the Givin, well, he caught a blaster bolt in the eye and the GM said he was dead. I took him at his word. If the Givin shows up here, Ice is going to insist he's either a different Givin, a zombie, a clone. :)

Eh, Givin is my suspicion. He talks very similar to the Givin and recognized me. Kelaeon will just assume that Ice didn't check the body very well. But then again before the Wheel Kelaeon was positive that Darth Uglyface was dead too since he heard Uglyface die.
