Oooh boy!

Not sure if that is a nightmare, but ...

Neil

is this recent post (really good BTW) for all of us as we wake from our dreams and get dropped into this vision?

I can read it such that it is for JB, but maybe everyone can read it that way for their own characters as well. I don't want to make assumptions because you used YOU as the direct object. How do we proceed?

Im much in the same way with Sirra. I can see where she was dropped into this, parallel to JB. But my set of questions is the same.

Hi guys. Yes, you awoke from a nightmare into another nightmare, American Werewolf in London-style. You all shared the same vision, and not only that, had a sense of each other's nightmares from the past (that you posted).

Almost as if you were sharing the same headspace for a while. That's certainly possible with the Force.

The vision became more and more real though and you've now been woken properly by the smoke alarm. There is real wood smoke and the smell of roast meat lingering in the room.

Spoiler Alert!!

So J.B. has some lightsaber assemble to do and is asking for help, presumably best to come from Preach and Winta who've completed their own lightsabers.

Winta has asked everyone if they also shared the vision. It would be good to get an affirmative from everyone so we can say that the team definitely talked about 'the Ronto in the room'.

Here's my TL;DR version of the nightmares and vision:

• Fear is on the rise.
• The Sith Eternal have used a planet-killing weapon to destroy a populated world.
• Princess Leia has died.
• There's a grizzled old Whiphid Jedi living on Ajan Kloss.

It seems evident that the Force connected you to the Whiphid, the smoke from his camp-fire manifested in the rec-room. Your characters don't know who he is but it's possible Leia took the Resistance survivors to Ajan Kloss in an attempt to find him. If he was once a Jedi, he could be a powerful ally and good teacher for the Awakened.

But first you have to save the Galaxy!

waiting to give Pandemonium a chance to post- this is a role-playing scene and Preach's wisdom and experience here, in a moment where the pressure is mounting and time is dwindling, would seem to be important and pivotal for JBs efforts.

No problemo. We kind of know where we're heading next, so I can write that up and have it ready.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Lack of internet was nice in some ways but not good in others.

As long as you have loo roll, any kind of camping is tolerable.

It was a bit hotter than I liked, but beautiful vistas, wide open air, and more fauna than I knew what to do with. It was wonderful in its own way. I missed the modern trappings, but tis the nature of the game. The only bad part was driving home and it was 98 so melting in the car seats because our truck doesn't have AC. I live at the coast, so I never replaced it when it went out. Don't need it here. Though I might have to get the heater fixed before this winter. Bundling up to drive around in snow is not fun.

Right, sorry if I disrupted the flow but I thought I'd better bump us along a bit, really to the next big decision.

You have 6 Resistance fighters in the team. An equal split makes sense, 3 go to the operating base, 3 to the bunker with 2BB-2.

You can discuss in-game, or here if you want. Whatever you discuss here we'll assume translates into an offscreen discussion in the game.

• Amos, J.B. and Jix might be good for the bunker. Bit more noisy but should be less baddies around to hear. Plenty of tech know-how.
• Preach, Sirra, Winta might be good for the operating base. More stealthy, stabby stab, with lockbreaking know-how.

Oh, and here are some visuals to get you in the mood for GH-531. Attached.

Jix will go where he is told but the allocations seems sensible.

Sounds good to me.

Thank you Gypsy!

Do we know as characters anything about phasmas vital status at this point?

she appeared to have been killed in The Last Jedi- the 2nd of the new trilogy- but the director (Rian Johnson) hinted that that might not be the case- whatever the truth is, she did not reappear in the third film as JJ Abrams took over that and hobbled a movie together. My personal opinion was that her character's entire arc was a wasted opportunity. so much more could have been done there. I had my own hopes for a backstory that i thought would be really cool... but those three films just felt so disjointed to me, as if nobody could agree on a cohesive trilogy spanning story line ahead of time.

I am certain JB knows nothing about anything related to Phasma

Well, she has relevance to Sirra. Hence my question.

Phasma has her own book 'Phasma' which creates her backstory.
In it she has loyalty only to Phasma. She has thrown her lot in with others when it has been expedient, but not really been loyal to them.
As far as she is concerned it is a wining strategy.

Preach has nothing else to offer at this point, so moving on is fine by me.

2BB-2 is ready to roll.

Move on please

What does the exposed cliff look like - the bit exposed by the slip. Has it got handholds and footholds that would allow us to work our way round the new formed gap? Failing that is the rock stable enough that we could cut handhold and footholds?
