We don't need paper to cement our rule. Also with SuGaBa gone I'm not sure the Captain can read on his own. Best not advertise that.

I say try to examine the document a little closer. the feudal system blows - nobody is doing any work at all. So if we have to agree to get a new system of government, I say go for it.

485:


A gecko who we haven't met yet called Jeeves gets it right in the neck and doesn't get up again. For the record here was his card:
:rip::rip:

We trigger an immediate civil war. There are rules for this because apparently it happens enough for it to be worth having rules. There's actually an expansion pack which makes the combat into a little board game but I'll be goddamned before I pay Steve for that, especially since he's lost half the figurines.

Here are the rules for anyone interested (timg'd for anyone who isn't)


The crew squares off!
On our side (the Squarejaws):
The Captain
Wertwhistle Pewterghast (engineer)
Crocmelia Crockheart (navigator)
Ragetooth (weapons)
Mois (an owle)
Rowdy Hugh Mann (a human)
Bijou Guard
Pappy Munchon (Caiman)
Cuvier (the cutest valet)

On the rebel side (the Roundskulls)
Andrew "Two Bogs" Jackson, rebel leader (and Caiman)
Dented GARRRRN (ex-shields)
Alfrink (shuttle pilot)
Ronnie "Shakes" Crockman (a Caiman)
Humuwhatever (sensors)
Several redshirt jabronis

We carve them to pieces, winning almost every fight. The rebellion is squashed and we are the king!

Turning to 241:


Two Bogs was hurt in the fighting and now he is executed as a warning to the rest of the crew.
This was Two Bogs:
:rip::rip:

Also lost in the fighting was Alfrink, the shuttle pilot.
:rip::rip:

Humuhumu took a nasty head injury and will have -1 EXPERTISE and +1 CRAPULENCE from here on out (and another -1 from his wounds until we get him patched up). GAARRRN and Ronnie "Shakes" Crockman took an injury each and will have -1 EXPERTISE until we heal them up for 10 ENERGY apiece.

We're nearly ready to go on to 520 but we now have an empty crew roster. We're going to need to fill our bridge out. This time we have all the crew available, can use aliens (not slaves) and don't have to pick anything randomly.

Can I have your nominations for:
Weapons
Sensors
Engineer
Navigation
Valet

(Optional) Shuttle Pilot

Here are all the crew at last:






Starship manifest in the meantime (captain's energy reduced a few points from the fighting):


It's late so I'll update the second post with tomorrow's update.

Mois as Engineer and Crocmelia as Navigator - those are easy.

I think after that Hugh Mann for Weapons and Ronny "Shakes" for Sensors.

Cuvier the Dwarf as Valet and Humuhumuetc. in the Shuttle.

He took a wound, and he had 2 health.

The cards in this edition are misleading, the black spot is "death".

Weak things like skinks have 1 health, most other creatures have 2 health, crocs have 3 health and the Caiman captain has 4 health.

That means that the skink who took a wound instead of being devoured...just dies anyway.
Which means his ability doesn't work???

If you're talking about Alfrink the card states "treat as wounded", ie. minus 1 expertise and out of action for some days. He doesn't actually take the wound.

When did we get that rad leak, and is that ever going to be fixed?

Saint Isaias Boner

The rad leak is from hanging around near the Forge in the second system and there's no way to fix it unless the text gives an option for it. Radiation isn't a huge problem for Caimen anyway. There might be an opportunity to get it fixed before it becomes important again.

This is a reasonable set up.
Here is how we look now:


I rolled badly for Hugh Mann so he gets -2 to any communicating skill checks that might happen in the Mintaka system.

We're coming out of jump space into Mintaka, on day 32. We're definitely on the home stretch now:


Before we do anything in Mintaka we should check in with the eye gem :


Turning to 72:


Thanks again Applewhite for your awesome work on that system and also the flavour text here.

Proceeding to 520:


And we reach a decision point again. What do we do?

E: I've brought the second post up to date now so it should be accurate again.

These suckers want us to think they can kill us at any time and we're only alive as long as we cooperate. They could do that sort of damage just by a casual communication, so if they really tried, well, pow, our heads all pop.

Too bad that Caimen can see right through that sort of skink-poo poo. You can't scam a scammer (except with one of the many scams that count on the other person being a scammer). If they could kill us, they'd have done it and then searched the ship and our headless corpses. That was a bluff and a lie and probably took a whole lot of effort.

Orgasmotron and attack!
