SPEAKER_05 2:11

Bless you. Hey.

SPEAKER_07 2:17

Question of the day.

SPEAKER_00 2:18

Question of the day.

SPEAKER_05 2:28

I don't think I've ever done this.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

Question of the day?

SPEAKER_05 2:31

Yeah, we've got a question of the day. We only need one today. Never done it. Um so if you could have one force power, what force power would it be? I don't think I've ever asked that. Yeah. We have not. That's a wonderful question, right? I don't know how we haven't, though, because that's it's too good. Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

That is a really good question.

SPEAKER_05 2:50

I don't know if it was obvious from season one, but mine's probably surge. I'd love to be able to surge in real life and just sprint super fast for like a good distance. That'd be really cool. Run down the fact.

SPEAKER_04 3:00

So I I think this is a really boring answer. But like, I don't think I'd use any of the combat ones, because like, again, like I guess if I was in the Star Wars universe, this answer would be different. But like in my actual life, I would want the whole like just I guess the game calls it search your feelings, where you could like just meditate for a second on an action you're about to take and know if it's going to have like positive or negative effects.

SPEAKER_05 3:24

That's such a better answer. Yeah, that's so good.

SPEAKER_04 3:26

Just because think about the amount of times you're just like, man, my GPS is fucked. Is it a left here? Yep. I guess my my force power is really just a cell phone now that I think about it. Like I really just realized that pretty much you just Google whatever I'm doing. Sounds like I shouldn't have an eighth drink.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

Yeah, you have foresight though. It's like foresight into your action. Like far seeing? So far seeing is like literally like peeping.

SPEAKER_04 3:50

Oh, so search your feelings. You're just like, I mean, I wouldn't admit to wanting that on a podcast.

SPEAKER_02 3:55

Fair. Yeah. The force version of a peeping tom. What is Jessica Alba up to?

SPEAKER_04 4:01

I'm just curious if she's working on any movies.

SPEAKER_01 4:03

God, guys, you're gonna freeze. Yeah, movies. Movies. Um I think mine's kind of boring too, but I would really like to move objects. I was about to fucking say I was tearing teetering on it.

SPEAKER_02 4:16

But how cool would it be just to like I think that's like everyone's dream power is like the ability to just like grab the remote from across the room. Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:27

I also think it would be detrimental to my health. I would just want to pursue it. If I get powerful enough, I would just be like the the fucking guy from Dune, like the the Arcanine Emperor that's just like floating around. My body's just like withered to nothingness, and I'm just floating everything.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

Oh, you can move yourself too. I didn't realize that. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 4:46

I'm just if if that's an option, I know that like a couple of times you see the Jedi like jump really far. And I imagine I know that in this game jumps an ability, but I would imagine that's kind of them moving them so that makes sense.

SPEAKER_07 5:00

I'm gonna go with a controversial one. I'm gonna go with mind trick. Oh, that's good. Yeah, I thought of it too for the express reason of you don't need to talk to me. Walk away and go and leave me alone.

SPEAKER_05 5:10

Jesus, yeah, that's pretty nice right there, eh? That that's pretty good. Looking at the list though, vital transfer would be kind of cool.

SPEAKER_02 5:17

Just about to say that's my answer. Oh, really? I would love to have vital transfer.

SPEAKER_05 5:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

It's like instead of having to go to a doctor, I could just give that some of my essence.

SPEAKER_04 5:28

I think most of them I I like I'm a Jedi at heart, but I think most of them I would fall to the dark side. Because like, yep, like I already did Justin, I would just abuse your power. Like, holy shit, Zach. I'd be like, my account is not overdrawn. Like I would be dark side like a week. Like, sir, your account, your car's locked because you're I don't have any more payments with you. My mortgage is paid off. Like I would be ruined in a week.

SPEAKER_05 5:49

Another honorable mention force lightning, only if you can recharge your phone anywhere you go.

SPEAKER_04 5:53

Oh, I'd buy a Tesla and go crazy into debt on the first day and just be like, I can drive forever for free. I'm just sitting at a gas station with my finger in the charging port, and people are like, What are you doing? I'm like, mind your business. Unlimited power. It's a fetish. Google it. Don't shame me.

SPEAKER_07 6:11

Nice. Yeah. So last time we played.

SPEAKER_04 6:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 6:15

Episode opened up with Eneb in a smuggling crate that you guys kind of unlocked. Um you guys got kind of split up in the starport landing area. I believe Dalen and I was uh catching blaster bolts outside. Yeah, just with your fists.

SPEAKER_04 6:31

With my shoulder.

SPEAKER_07 6:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 6:33

Um you guys had Eneb with you. The hound was firing shots and you couldn't really figure out where they were coming from. Uh a couple of them went right into your shoulder. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

I got one good one, I think. Creed ended up spotting them, and we don't think I ever did.

SPEAKER_01 6:47

Yeah, I saw I saw her eventually. Um then she flew away.

SPEAKER_07 6:51

Yes. Once she found out that you had her husband Eneb, she took off, jetpacked away. You don't know where she went.

SPEAKER_05 6:58

Where was she at in the Star Party and like up on the rafters?

SPEAKER_07 7:01

Yeah, she basically up in the rafters. So it's an open-air kind of circle.

SPEAKER_05 7:04

That's what it was.

SPEAKER_07 7:06

They were up on like the roof of the thing and they jetpacked behind themselves. So they went backwards, basically. And then you saw a ship take off. Oh, a different ship take off. A different ship took off, and then it looked like a familiar ship? No. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Did we recognize what type of ship?

SPEAKER_07 7:24

I'm sure I did. I'm in fact quite confident that I did. Yeah. So I am gonna hobble onto the ship and just collapse. I think you guys took off. I think you guys are all together.

SPEAKER_04 7:36

Oh, did we take off already?

SPEAKER_07 7:38

I think that was the last thing that happened was you guys took off.

SPEAKER_04 7:40

No, I were talking about it.

SPEAKER_07 7:42

And Ebony told us that the Nexus family is. And he was flying. Oh yeah, you had taken off at that point. Okay. Because he's like, I'm gonna go chase the ship.

SPEAKER_04 7:49

Despite all this, I am going to collapse in the hallway of the ship and just lean against the wall for a moment because holy shit, I'm hurt. Just slide to the floor and there's a blood smear down the wall. Oh dang him.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

I'm gonna walk over to Dalen and I'm going to use Vital Transfer, actually. Oh shit. Um give me your blood. Yes. You're a reverse vampire.

SPEAKER_04 8:11

Blood of my blood. Use the four.

SPEAKER_02 8:14

You heal for three times your character level.

SPEAKER_04 8:17

Holy shit! I think you yeah, you just healed me, I think, full health.

SPEAKER_02 8:21

So I'm just gonna take half the damage. How much did you comp?

SPEAKER_04 8:25

Uh 33, because we're a le no, we're 10, so I uh I took 30. Thank you. Kanari. Oh. That was a hell of a shot. I didn't see it coming. Uh did did anyone get a good look at who it was? I it's hard to remember. I was in so much pain, but I think Kredos fired a few shots, maybe spotted her. I'm not sure it was the hound, but I what it was definitely the hound. I don't know why she would let us take her ship and her her husband, but she had another ship ready. This must have all been a trap, and I'm not sure it's been sprung yet.

SPEAKER_03 9:08

I think I am going to check the ship for anything that seems uh dangerous.

SPEAKER_04 9:14

Let's split up. I'll do the same. Yeah, let's do uh what do you want? What is it, perception? Yeah. Perception. Cause that's a really good point. Because I feel like if they laid this trap and we just walked in and it was like four on one, and she shot one guy, and then we flew off. Yeah. So I got a 14. Uh 15.

SPEAKER_07 9:36

Oh, you're. Anybody else doing anything? Perceptive.

SPEAKER_05 9:39

I've been waiting to ask. Uhneb is just like tied to a chair, right? Yeah. Uh, I would like to be sitting in a chair across from him and having my gun just like on my lap, and I'm just smoking another one of these uh space cigarettes. I suspect your guys are in a dark room.

SPEAKER_07 9:53

There's one light right above him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:56

Are you? As I'm searching the room, I want to look into the hallway of let that room just be like, you're smoking on a spaceship.

SPEAKER_06 10:03

I don't see where the problem is here. I got a need and I'm fulfilling it.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

So dangerous. I'm just gonna continue searching. How far am I from the other ship? Can I see it?

SPEAKER_07 10:17

You can see it. As you break through the atmosphere and into space, you can still see it. Oh, we're about to haul ass, I think.

SPEAKER_04 10:25

Oh, I didn't realize. Yeah, we're you're sitting there with a cigarette, we're just searching, you're about to just be like, Yeah. Okay. Spotlight on Creedo for a minute. Have fun, buddy.

SPEAKER_01 10:36

I would like to follow it as as effectively as possible. Give me a pilot check. Dude, we gotta chase. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:43

Chase, chase, chase, chase, chase.

SPEAKER_03 10:46

Pilot check.

SPEAKER_04 10:47

Oh excited. That's my name.

SPEAKER_02 10:49

Don't wear it out. This is just the start of the day. We're all not rolling very well. I gotta get mine out of the way.

SPEAKER_04 10:55

That is a 19. Did you just roll a one? Five. Oh, I'm like, holy crap, he called it.

SPEAKER_07 11:00

The ship that you're following is gonna turn around towards you. Oh. And now you guys are facing each other? Facing each other. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 11:07

Does he have guns or are they all like turrets? Everybody's got guns. I meant like the ships. The ships have guns. Is it I don't have guns? Is it guns that he controls, or is it like turrets?

SPEAKER_01 11:18

No, the pilot has guns. Okay. I'm gonna turn to everyone in the back and say, prepare for a fight. Who are we fighting? Is are we hunting the hound? Roll initiative.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

Okay. Yeah, we gotta find out. We have no idea what the ship layout is. We gotta see if there's any like gun turrets.

SPEAKER_01 11:35

That's uh this is this is awful.

SPEAKER_04 11:38

That I didn't find. Ooh.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

Which guys find.

SPEAKER_04 11:42

Alright, Dalen. Oh yeah, I'm first. I guess I haven't really searched this ship. I had just started to. Yep. Have I seen any gun turrets or anything of the sort on board?

SPEAKER_07 11:53

What was your perception check? Uh 14. You do find a gunner's turret.

SPEAKER_04 11:57

Okay. I don't think that's my strong suit. So I'm gonna shout out Kanari! Because I brought lost line of sight to you. I'm now just barely peeking into the room where uh uh Kurok and Eneb are sitting hostily. Um, so I'm gonna shout out Kanari! Get to the guns! Be prepared for a fight! And I am going to haul ass towards the cockpit to see. I don't know if there's a co-pilot setup or anything like that. I don't really know how to fly, but I want to get eyes on the situation to see what I can do. So, yeah, I just ran to the cockpit and pretty much wanted to see what's going on and just Grito, what's happening? Fill me in. We're getting targeted by the hound.

SPEAKER_01 12:47

She's gonna fire on her own husband. It appears so insane.

SPEAKER_04 12:53

Alright, that's my turn.

SPEAKER_07 12:54

So the ship is coming at you. 18 against the ship. Nope. Nope. So these two blasts of blue energy fire at you, and you just deftly pilot out of the way. Was I able to find the guns on the ship?

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Like the gunner position? Yeah. Okay. So I'm gonna go from engineering room to the lounge, and I'm gonna go up to uh Q-Rock, and I'm uh Q-Rock, um, I feel like you'd be more suited on the guns.

SPEAKER_03 13:22

I can keep Eneb at bay for now. Say less partner.

SPEAKER_02 13:26

And I'm gonna go up to Eneb and using a Swift draw my lightsaber and um ignite it. I'm put it at him.

SPEAKER_04 13:36

I'm thinking she may not know he's alive.

SPEAKER_05 13:39

Yeah, I haven't considered that at all.

SPEAKER_04 13:40

Yeah. She knows we're Jedi. Yeah, I think I might call for you to bring him up if we can get him on the mic.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

Um, so okay, so that ship's like coming right for us, right? You guys are playing a game of chicken. Chicken. Oh no. I'm going to just keep going forward.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

Okay. Okay. Strap in for the TPK episode.

SPEAKER_01 14:08

Could I use another like action to try to get communicated communications with the ship? You can openly communicate to the ship. It's just they might not respond. Okay. Well, I would like to say, we have your husband stop this nonsense right now. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 14:29

I love the down-to-business demeanor you you got. It's great. So I'm definitely gonna go to the guns.

SPEAKER_06 14:35

And I'm gonna, as I sit down in the seat and try to take aim, uh, I'm gonna go, I can't get a clear shot at their engines. We're gonna need to reposition.

SPEAKER_04 14:44

So you already kind of did what I was thinking is reaching out to her. Credo, I don't know much about ships. I can operate one, but I don't know where you need me.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

Just be a second pair of eyes.

SPEAKER_04 14:59

Eyes. And I'm gonna close mine for a second, and I'm gonna try to farsi on Malia. Wait, I don't know if that's our quick action.

SPEAKER_07 15:06

I think we tried this last episode. I think I tried on. I thought you tried it on Malia after she was frozen in Carbonite.

SPEAKER_04 15:13

Yes, you're right, I did. So I'm not gonna do it on Malia. God, because I don't know where she is. Yeah. I gotta try it on the hound then. Um, it's a full-round action. Can I do that even though I'm talking? Yes. Okay, then I am going to try. Uh and that would put it to 23 against fortitude. It will not succeed. Damn this bounty hunter.

SPEAKER_07 15:39

And that's all I got. Next is their ship. Yep. The ship is gonna keep coming towards you. It's gonna fire two more blasts at you. Are we in danger zone yet? Like, is it how close are we getting? Pretty close. Okay, cool. It's gonna be a 21 against your reflex. Oh, that's gonna hit.

unknown 15:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 15:57

It's a lot of dice, isn't it? No, it's a stupid thing. Oh, it's like 3d8 times six or some shit. Do you want a shield? I would love a shield. Jesus. I don't know if that's the exact number. I'm just saying that's the example. Like the Star Destroyer one is stupid. Credo, you are going the ship is going to take 28 points of ion damage. 28 points? So you remove them from the shield rating first. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 16:21

Is that the damage reduction?

SPEAKER_07 16:22

No, I just looked it up. That's what I spent five minutes looking up while you guys were talking about. After the shield is gone.

SPEAKER_04 16:28

So that's like all of our shield. The damage reduction is like the toughness of the metal, I'm guessing. QROC.

SPEAKER_06 16:33

So is the ion non-lethal?

SPEAKER_07 16:36

Yes. Cool.

SPEAKER_06 16:37

Does that how does that work with a shield?

SPEAKER_07 16:39

And it does double damage. Yes, we shut down. Uh so it's like an EMP. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. It's an EMP blast.

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Sick. A shield rating is down the two. So that's a problem. Well, I I see it as an answer.

SPEAKER_04 16:52

We should probably same. Yeah.

unknown 16:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 16:56

Yeah. Fair, fair. Hopefully we have that as an option and know how to do it. Yep. Look at you, Krito. Wait, what? Never mind. Just let's go.

SPEAKER_07 17:06

So with and with its move action, it's going to increase, it's gonna decrease the distance between the two of you. You will collide on her next turn.

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Oh, okay. Would I be able to bring Anab a little closer to the gutter seat? And no. No. Because you're actually like in a pod.

SPEAKER_07 17:26

I'm in a pod? Yeah. Like in the Millennium Falcon. You're in your own tiny little room. Yeah. I thought it was like the lounge where it was like an open space. It's like you get to the lounge and you're actually like up a ladder and in your own spot. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Okay. So I can't bring him down in any way? No.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

I think he's tied up, and I imagine not just we probably tied him to something.

SPEAKER_02 17:47

Yeah. It's probably worth it. So I couldn't aid another in any way, to the gunner? Not without leaving him alone. Yeah. Which you could.

SPEAKER_01 17:56

He's not gonna- I don't know, he's not getting the ship.

SPEAKER_02 17:58

Then I'm just gonna talk to him. Are your wife is firing on the ship? Are you sure you're okay with dying here?

SPEAKER_07 18:07

I'm not going to die here, so unless you're just a fan of loud threats, you're not going to get what you want from me.

SPEAKER_03 18:13

I highly doubt that.

SPEAKER_07 18:15

I don't think you have what it takes to kill me. She might. That's gonna be the end of the turn.

SPEAKER_04 18:23

Damn. Say that to Angsty Dalen, I dare you.

SPEAKER_01 18:27

Force script you like a zit. I wanna keep going forward, but I won't. I'm gonna dodge.

SPEAKER_04 18:32

Oh shit!

SPEAKER_01 18:32

Okay, give me a shot. I thought that was it.

SPEAKER_04 18:34

I thought you were just I'm gonna keep going forward.

SPEAKER_07 18:36

Give me a pilot check, you have to beat a 15.

unknown 18:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 18:39

Well, that's that's gonna happen, so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. It happened. So describe how you dodge this incoming ship. I'm gonna do a barrel roll.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

Love it.

SPEAKER_04 18:51

Spinning! That's a neat trick. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:54

Hopefully, um everybody in. Yeah, I could. But I'm gonna do a spinning. And then um move to the side. To the left side of her. Nice. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 19:05

I picture him like veering off to one side, but our ship's so flat and wide that he has to like start the barrel roll to barely dodge her.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

That's so cool. Is that gonna affect everybody inside the ship? Not particularly. They got their own gravity kind of thing. Yeah, okay, cool.

SPEAKER_07 19:19

I didn't know how that works. You're gonna get jostled around a little bit, but they're not gonna be like bouncing off the ceiling and stuff. Okay. That'll be my turn. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

That's what we should do, is everyone's strapped down and we just shake the fuck out of the ship until NM stops complaining. I'm gonna try to switch the guns to Ion. They do not have that option. I knew that was coming. We're on her kill ship right now.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:42

But now we're I'm face I in the gun seat.

SPEAKER_07 19:46

Ships are like side to side.

unknown 19:48

Oh.

SPEAKER_07 19:49

Passing each other. And you're the gunning position can turn. So you could fire at the side of the ship.

SPEAKER_05 19:55

Do I have 360 rotations? Yes. Cool. Yeah, I'm gonna try to fire, but when I aim at the sides, I'm gonna shoot for the back like the engines.

SPEAKER_02 20:02

Okay. Is it like a pod that's like off of the ship? Kinda.

unknown 20:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 20:08

Not probably not how you're thinking. God damn it. Oh.

SPEAKER_05 20:12

Nat one.

SPEAKER_07 20:13

Just imagine two guns sitting on the top of the ship. Okay. So it's not like you or your body is outside of the ship or extended out of it. It's not like a LA80.

SPEAKER_02 20:22

It's like a screen that he's looking through, kinda. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 20:25

Nat one. I I know. So you take a breath and line up your shot, and then just as you begin to fire, his ship begins to barrel roll, and all of your shots go everywhere except where they need to go.

SPEAKER_04 20:39

Alright, grabbing onto the seats, like the uh Credo seat and the co-pilot seat that's empty, and just kind of jostling around as we start spinning. I hope you know what you're doing, Credo. Don't worry. I don't know what what way we have out of this. Well, we'll figure it out. Shit. I'm more worried when you say that for some reason. Um, I am going to. I think I'm gonna head back, because I'm now under the impression that I don't think we're getting away. So as I dip actually, I get to the doorway, about to head back to like the main part body of the ship. Credo, does this ship have hyperspace? It should. We might need to run. If that comes to it. Don't let her stun us. I got it. And then I am going to continue walking towards. I guess I'm gonna head back to the lounge checking on the gunner on the way. So I don't know if I'll quite make it.

SPEAKER_07 21:46

You would be able to shout to the gunner, but not see them.

SPEAKER_04 21:49

Alright. Um, so yeah, I'm gonna shout out, uh We need to stun this ship. They're trying to incapacitate us, they're going to take us prisoner.

SPEAKER_06 21:59

I'm gonna keep it honest with you. We don't have ion like they do, but if you trust my aim, I'm trying to take out their engines, leave them sitting in the water.

SPEAKER_07 22:08

After he just wildly missed.

SPEAKER_04 22:10

Yeah, yeah. Alright. So uh we're yelling at pretty loud. I don't know how big the ship is.

SPEAKER_07 23:56

If everyone else can hear that, you'd be everyone would be able to hear it.

SPEAKER_04 23:58

Uh then Credo, you are back in the ship hearing that uh we don't have ion damage capacity, but he thinks he can sharpshoot. And we have no evidence that that's true. Quite the contrary. I've actually not been a good shot so far. I think I've a new character. It's what happens, man. You play a few times and it's just everything you're excited about. You ever get a new spell and you're like, oh, that sucked.

SPEAKER_07 24:21

Every time. So they are going to swing their ship behind you. Oh. So they're going to fire another Ion Blast at you. That will be a six. Nope. Nario, what's your will defense? Shit. Oh. And Ep is going to try and intimidate you. Okay. And he is going to. He's going to make a charisma check against you. Oh shit. This is very much him. And then he is going to use Hyper Driven. Once per day while aboard a starship, you can add your scoundrel class level as a bonus to any attack roll skill check or ability check.

SPEAKER_04 25:00

Oh Uno!

SPEAKER_07 25:03

That's a natural one.

SPEAKER_04 25:04

His voice is literally shaking. Please just please don't shoot me. Please don't shoot me. I'm gonna kill you. I'll tell you where they're going. Oh, what happens with that?

SPEAKER_07 25:14

His resolve is breaking. He's gonna he will is willing to tell you where they are she's gonna take um Malia.

SPEAKER_00 25:22

Stay with us. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_05 25:30

SPEAKER_03 27:08

Okay, um you you said where on Alderon are they taking her?

SPEAKER_07 27:15

It's a ploy. They're not going to Alderon, you idiot. They're going to Daphomir. Why? Do you know how difficult it is to smuggle an abducted Jedi Padawan who's also an Alderanian noble?

SPEAKER_04 27:27

What in the fuck are we stumbling into?

SPEAKER_02 27:30

This is very valuable information. It's the end of his turn. Kanari, your turn. I'm gonna tie him up a little tighter. I'm just gonna like take another look at the knots, and I'm gonna tie him a little tighter and then mouth. I'm gonna go out of the lounge. Okay. And I am going to look at Dalen in a panic. And I'm gonna. Dalen, Alderon has a ploy. They are taking her to Dathomir. They don't want anyone else to know about this, so they're taking her out to a place where no one will think to look.

SPEAKER_04 28:06

We have two options. We're taken prisoner, or we go there now.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

I think I should get to Credo. Go. Would I still have enough move to get to him, or am I stopped here? No, you'd be able to get there. Okay. Am I still able to talk? No. No. I think that's the your So I I just I reached the cockpit and I'm just uh heaving um from sprinting this fast. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 28:33

I would say you wouldn't be able to talk, but you could like wave your hand and get some get his attention.

SPEAKER_02 28:36

Greed, great.

SPEAKER_07 28:38

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 28:44

That was adorable. Hi. Okay, I'm gonna turn around.

SPEAKER_04 28:47

I just say hi.

SPEAKER_07 28:49

So their ship is behind you.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

They're behind you. Chasing you. Okay. Well, I'm gonna look at him because he's trying to get my attention. I'm gonna say what's up.

SPEAKER_03 28:59

Aneb broke a little bit while talking to me and ended up giving me some very valuable information. Um, apparently, Alderon is just a ploy. Your family seems to want to take Malia to Dathomir so no one can know of these dealings.

SPEAKER_02 29:16

I suggest that we find a way to hyperdrive towards Alderon, but not go the full length and head to Dathomir before they know we can get there. Interesting.

SPEAKER_04 29:29

Like a misdirection made jump before we got.

SPEAKER_07 29:30

Rudo, roll a d20. Don't add anything to it. 17. Based on your experiences, you have never heard of your family mentioning Dathomir. Okay. Do with that what you will.

SPEAKER_01 29:45

Um, well, I will try to maneuver the ship to point it towards Alderon. And I would like to do so by trying to go under the other one to dodge it. I feel like that would be my turn until I could hyperdrive away.

SPEAKER_07 30:04

Go ahead and give me a pilot check.

SPEAKER_01 30:08

13. What would that be? 27. 27, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 30:15

You align yourself towards Alderon. Excellent.

SPEAKER_05 30:18

Okay. Would I have heard the exchange about Dathomir between the two Jedi behind me? Yes. Okay. So I'm not going to shoot. Okay. Uh, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna spin around to look at Dalen and I'm gonna go, who's watching the guest?

SPEAKER_04 30:35

Looking back, I realize that Kanari just ran off. I'll check on him.

SPEAKER_05 30:40

Don't worry. I got this. And I'm gonna draw my uh the 777 and head towards the lounge. Okay. Keep my eye on Ed. No, it's okay. Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 30:52

What's he looking like? Is he still looking tied up?

SPEAKER_05 30:54

Yeah, he's still looking tied up. Does he still look shook up from his encounter with Kanari?

SPEAKER_07 30:59

Yes. A little bit. He's starting to gain his composure again.

SPEAKER_05 31:02

So as I take a look at him and go, Jay, I'm gonna go, fuck.

SPEAKER_06 31:06

You look like you've seen a ghost. I uh I understand when I'm outnumbered. That's all. I should have done inside what I'm done.

SPEAKER_04 31:16

Hey, we're in I mean, the only other choice is getting taken prisoner right now. Yeah. Which part of me wants that face-to-face, but I don't see her letting us away with one of their ships. Like if this was on a planet or something, I'd be like, bring it on, let's meet hostage exchange. Even if it goes wrong, we learned something. I feel like she doesn't even want to talk. But if we let him go, she'll know what we know. She'll know we know what she knows. She'll know that we know what she knows, that the family told her not to let us know, but we know it.

SPEAKER_02 31:51

I feel like this might be our best move given either we're going to the actual drop-off point or we're going to a place that she's not going to expect. Either we get some cover or we get a jump on something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:07

Oh my god, what am I doing my turn then? Oh boy. Is there a way that I can help Justin?

SPEAKER_07 32:15

You can aid another which grins some bonus on his pilot checks.

SPEAKER_04 32:19

So I guess I'll just do that. Is that like sitting in the copilot chair or is that a different position? So I'm gonna sit down in the copilot chair and strap in, and then I'm gonna shout out to the ship, prepare for hyper jump. And I guess do I do a check now to see if I'm able to do it?

SPEAKER_07 32:36

Maybe use computer check.

SPEAKER_04 32:38

My strongest skill. Is it actually? No, but I rolled well 24.

SPEAKER_07 32:44

So basically, while he's aligning the ship, you're going in and starting the hyperdrives calculations.

SPEAKER_04 32:50

Okay. We gotta survive another round with them.

SPEAKER_07 32:57

Slam on their brakes so that you're now in front of them. Oh shit. Oh fuck. And they're gonna take a shot. Can you hear a weapon down now in the background? 24 against your reflex. 24, yes. That's gonna hit. Uh so you're gonna take 60 points of ion damage. 60. Oh.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

So shields are out. 58. And then 47. 15 points of damage reduction, right? Yep. So we're down to 43. So you're at 77. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 33:29

77. Okay. That almost took us half out. That's a damage threshold.

SPEAKER_02 33:38

Oh shit. I don't know exactly what I can do to help out more here. We're can I I can't start the jump. That's the pilot's job.

SPEAKER_05 33:49

Backseat driving. You should press that switch, Dalen. I know what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

I there's no point in aiding one of them. They're already aiding each other, right? Right. Um, I'm just gonna go back to Enab, I think, in the lounge. And just keep eye on him.

unknown 34:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 34:07

I don't really have anything else I can really do.

SPEAKER_03 34:09

Okay. Uh have you heard the plan we have, Kewok? Uh yeah. We're going to Daphimir, right? We're jumping towards Alderon to try and fool the hound, and then we're jumping to Dathomir.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

So have a plan. And I was like, yeah, good plan.

SPEAKER_01 34:26

We can't hypers drive in front of somebody, right? You're in front of them. Yeah. I don't know how those rules work. Yeah, you'd be able to hyperdrive. Okay. You'd be able to go to hyperspace. Not like in that one movie where they do it and they blow up the ships.

SPEAKER_04 34:42

That they're that there was a ship in front of them that they went into, and no, it shouldn't work that way.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 34:47

But they're behind us. Oh, they're behind us. Never mind. I thought they were You were underneath and they slammed on the brakes. So they fell behind us to get that shot on us. So they're they're on our six.

SPEAKER_01 34:57

Okay. I've for some reason I thought they're in front of us and I think we're on their 12. We're gonna explode them and that would have been bad. But Okay.

SPEAKER_06 35:04

Where's Alder on?

SPEAKER_01 35:06

I want to. Is that on our five? I want to open communications with the ship and say, I'll see you soon. And then hit the hyper drive button.

SPEAKER_07 35:15

So with the hound lining her cannons up right behind your ship, you use your piloting skills to engage the hyper drive and leave this space behind as her blaster bolts fly right through where your ship used to be. And that's where we'll end it. We'll be back in just two weeks with chapter 20.

SPEAKER_04 36:38

SPEAKER_05 36:59

Yeah, completed by Moff Kanari. I believe what you're looking for uh is the novella of Dalen Galt. Fifty Shades of the Force.

SPEAKER_04 37:09

What was the Rancor moment? It was from when he he we were fighting a Rancourt. We've told you the story, but I'll be quick. We were fighting a Rancor, and he was spending it looting a set a wine cellar, like looking for booze. So for like three rounds, he's searching a wine cellar and then trying to catch up to us, and we're fighting a rancor and dying. When he finally catches up to us, he opens the door, takes one shot at the rancor, and kills it with a critical hit. Zach, whose rules is if you kill it, you get to describe it. So we're all been fighting to get this great kill because we want to describe this great, incredible moment. And Justin's like, I walk in, I look at it, I draw my gun, I shoot it in the eye. And that was it. That was it. Like he killed his rancor like it was another fucking Tuesday. We're all half dead, and he walked in and was like, What'd you guys find in here? Like it was just he didn't give a shit. It was so stupid.
