 September 14, 2011 - 11:29pm | Thanks, it was one of my fave scenes from that flick and I enjoyed recycling it...since it seems to apply so well to a great variety of other situations  |
 September 15, 2011 - 6:47am | But who am I to say anything if the giant wants to try blowing through the other end... Ewwwww that is just not right Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
September 15, 2011 - 12:30pm | Just sayin'...that end is marginally better connected than the first one |
September 17, 2011 - 4:57pm | The party enters the Ancient ruins and discover a room filled with some high tech machine. What could it be? How much can we get for it? Why did the floor drop out and land us in a basement filled with water and diamond smooth sides? Oh its really a test from the insane descendents of the Ancients to see which race drowns the fastest. Glad we could participate. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
 August 5, 2018 - 9:35pm | It wasn't a death but it was pretty close. I have two characters (one owns a salvaging business and the other is in charge of said business's fleet, consisting of one frigate, three assault scouts and a jump tug). Vince is the commander of the fleet, and he runs it from his assault scout Aphelion. A group of pirates in a frigate tried to board the tug, which was carrying all four ships (which are painted to look like derelicts). When our ships disengaged, the frigate tried to fly away, but we caught up with it and boarded it from both sides with Aphelion and Storm, our frigate. We had a large pitched battle, but at the end of it we managed to defeat all the pirates at the cargo hold. Then, alarms blared. The pirates had overloaded the atomic engines, causing them to explode in d100 turns. Vince managed to jettison the engines on the other frigate and took off in Aphelion. They just managed to get to the outer range of the explosion when it hit, causing serious damage to both ships, as well as Shadow and Mite, the other two assault scouts. Mite was destroyed by the explosion, and Aphelion and Shadow were knocked down to 1 and 4 HP, respectively. Storm was closer to the blast, and was taken down to 3 HP. I gave the ref a very dirty look after that, because if they had been any closer Aphelion would have been destroyed, and Vince with it. I always used a different tactic after that. I don't know where you're going, but do you have room for one more troubled soul? -Patrick Stump, Alone Together |
