USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (DARK SIDE)- The Prisoner of Datura

They just eat everything they come across?

There was something else.

I'm guessing that.

Yup!

So maybe we should intersperse the fighters throughout the group. As funny as it'd be for a trog to just drop on Rand and eat him, it'd probably be bad to let that actually happen.

(at least right now)

Ranto and other physically useless people like Rand and the Forcies should carry all the equipment.

Rand's strength is too low.

Indeed. If anyone isn't fighting, they get ti carry stuff.

Galder is happy with his blaster and two cannisters. The extra cannisters we didn't assign go to Ranto, and he should take Relle's rope.

lol, I was specifically thinking about not giving Ranto anything. In my defense, last time we gave Ranto something he dropped it, then someone had to get back and pick him up.

Gallador will not fight, he will carry as much as he can to move reasonably. Can he take three cannisters Ush?

Still, I understand that not all of the trogs will attack from the ceiling, so Ranto, Almir, Gallador and Azarl should stay in the middle of the formation.

The trogs could drop down from the ceiling and eat your face, though. Right into the middle of the formation.

I'm not necessarily saying Ranto's critically poor Dexterity will not again be an issue...

So, he's picked up the two spares and the rope, and I think Rianna has given him a cannister. Dak can give him one as well, as he can carry his other with no issue.

Three would be pushing it, Gallador! Would give a penalty in all circumstances.

-

Let's go! Kayda will give you an ironic wave and a polite "now sod off" and you guys can head back down- he's arranged it at the gate; everyone is pretty much happy to see you leave.

In your previous scoutings, you already knew the routes down to Blue. The structure on Green was already giving way to caves; it is clear as you descend into Blue that you are entering a mostly untamed cave network with only the occasional showing of the times when it was in use- the odd vent (useless), on occasion a flickering light. There is some soft bio-luminescence in places ias well- but in general this place is extremely dark.

And cramped. Coming down the stairs into the first chamber, you can barely all fit in it and only one passageway outwards would not force you to stoop.

"Guess this is it then!" Rah mutters to himself as they leave relative safety of Green

It's also bloody cold.

Cold, hah. "We're all going to die, you all realize this? And Rand, it's entirely your fault."

Ahhh, dark...

Also, crap, I meant to figure out an order to go in last night but didn't get a chance to. Is it too late for that?

Nope!

Okay.

Galder and Rianna should be at the front, being fighty people who can handle themselves well. Rand behind them, as I'm sure his Force senses will come in handy in getting through, along with Azarl, who is also quite Force-y. Then Almir and Gallador, who can't do anything. Chunn and Ranto after that; Chunn is fighty and Ranto is carrying stuff so we want to keep an eye on him. Xavier next, though he should avoid fighting if possible. Then Dak and Rah, with Relle and Con bringing up the rear - last list of stuff showed that Con had a blaster and slingshot; give one to Relle, so we have ranged cover from the back if needed, and both can fight up close as well.

Also, when it comes to areas where only one person can pass through at a time, the order in which names are listed there is relevant to that.

I think that should cover everyone and should make it so we don't have too many weak spots where people can be attacked without someone else close enough to fight. Anyone have any input?

Actually, since these trogs attack from the ceilings, I would put Rah and Dak before Gallador and Almir, so they can help if need be.

I agree with Gallador.
