Wow! Yes I can see that might be a problem

Sorry! I thought I had asked a question. It’s been hectic at work. We are averaging something like two and a half times the sales we are budgeted but don’t have the commensurate labor yet. A bit frazzled around the edges.

No worries, Art. We're all good and pushing on. Ghosted Sirra for you, in a direction I think you'd approve. Browsing shelves for auto-parts didn't sound like her thing.

A long, hard slog at work feels like it might finally be coming to an end, peeps. I seriously need a holiday. A 'holiday' holiday, not sitting at home some more. I need a pool, I need bikini babes. I need dancing!

Anyhoo, we soldier on and take respite in these, our adventures in a galaxy far far away.

Not the strongest story line but somehow I don't think that was part of your selection criteria!

Is it mainly trained in lightsaber fighting styles rather than all combat in general? And in any case, could a vibrodagger even effect the thing?

The EG-5 Jedi Hunter doid is explicitly designed for fighting Jedi. Jedi use lightsabers, the Force and hand-to-hand combat in general. They don't tend to use blasters but the droid has Beskar plating anyway.



Sirra wouldn't use her vibrodagger to punch through the droid's plating though. She'd use it to attack joints. Wedged into a joint it would still impede movement and if she could sever any wiring harness tucked inside that would do more damage.

What are vibroblades? Leia's Lair tells us more:



J.B. meanwhile is fighting the slightly less frightening IG-100 MagnaGuard.



Still a proven challenge for Jedi.

Nem,

Need some guidance for Amos. Are there any hatches that he can pop open and shot into to disable the fighter before he tries leaping off to the spar or death?

Yo yo. Yes, I think the TIE Echelon must have a hatch on the roof because otherwise the pilots couldn't get into the cockpit when the cargo ramp is down.

Obviously, this being Star Wars, all door mechanisms can be operated by application of a blaster bolt.

So what happens when a starship attached to a building jumps to hyperspace in atmosphere?

I don't know. But I suspect it's bad for both the starship and the building.

Amos has time to abandon ship though and it looks like J.B. is inbound to help in whatever way she can.

Sorry peeps, was all set to post last night but the site wasn't.

I'll get a post up tonight and we'll find out what this mysterious TIE Special Forces pilot has to say.

In another week, CFH will be a year old and as you've probably guessed we are on the home straight.

I think we've done remarkably well, considering the continual drain on our creative energy from the global pandemic. I doubt any of us have truly had a chance to recharge our batteries in the past 12 months. Yes, our post rates have slowly slowed down but I want to thank you guys for bearing with the game and giving what you can.

CFH. "The Force is strong in this one."

Happy to be here, happy to be posting. Ongoing junk is just that.

Ongoing junk will always be ongoing and be junk. That’s some thing that will never change.

Posting tomorrow

Is our thread finished? It does read that way

Your thread is not finished, no, though I am protracting the scene a touch to line up with Smoke Team.

Mirror Team are riding a wave of destruction to the ground. So you have the opportunity to post your character's thoughts and dialogue etc. in this moment.

And, we've been playing CFH for one year today.

May the 4th be with you

Hurrah!

I think that's the best recording of the original Star Wars theme I've ever heard. The original soundtrack recording is very poor quality, very tinny. I really enjoyed watching John Williams conducting his work too.

Very good! Stirs the blood!

Although Star Wars is most strongly associated with its iconic visual dictionary, the lightsabers, the Stormtroopers, the Jawas and cantinas, it's soul has always been The Force, and as we near the end of our story this short arrangement of the Force Theme feels particularly appropriate.



Now that you're meeting up, you might want to describe your character's physical condition to the others.

You're all filthy, roughed up and battle-worn, and here's a summary of your more serious wounds.

• Preach. Blood-stained beard. Wheezing, damaged lungs from broken breath mask. Light blaster burn on shoulder. Bruised ribs from droid kick.
• Sirra. Cyber-eye ripped out, wearing patch, blood and cyber-unguent dried on cheek.
• Winta. Dried nose bleed, possible concussion. Blaster impact on chest, possibly cracked ribs. Lightsaber wound to abdomen, Force healed.
• Amos. Puncture wound in shoulder. Neurotoxin offset by stimpack. Blaster impact to abdomen, possible internal damage. Knee wrenched by fall.
• J.B.. Severe arm burns, suit melted onto skin, from incinerator. Stimmed. Major abdomenal bruising from droid kick.

Also, some point soon the Relnard information is likely to crop up, so Art in the Blood, Angrboða, you might want to refresh your memory so you can pass it onto Phoenix Prime's character.

See here for information obtained by Sirra from First Order HoloNet and shared with Winta. Ultimately, she found Relnard's address on the Planet Nubia, headquarters of several major tech corporations and coincidentally Lieutenant Bastian's home world.

[OOC- Yes, Winta should really not be still standing.]

So, reading the latest thread you'll all be aware that we must congratulate Gypsy on her run with Jix. The team's insectoid, gender-fluxed medic and support gunner sacrificed himself to save his team-mates. Great play Gypsy!

Saving the Galaxy from the Final Order has come at a cost, but has made for some excellent role-playing gaming, and getting to a couple of FFG's more esoteric game systems (both now out of print alas).

Welcome to the Jek Porkins memorial spectator bench, Gypsy!

Sirra and Winta truly tried to reach that list.
