Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA
Subject: To Seth....


We will tell Seth the class of the ship, but we'll keep putting off giving him any plans. We will not give him plans.

JC can tell him of the arrangements for him to share the room with Lilianna.

Jon will remain respectful but miffed. He'll comment that cargo is normally loaded at the port where there is equipment available and that passengers usually only have carry-ons.

Yes the ship is clean and in good order, but there is a faint odor. Hopefully the air scrubber will have the smell gone soon. The best we can do is have Grace use some cologne in the air filters to freshen the smell.

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Not Just An Overnight Bag...


Jon’s held his composure as best he could as Grace told him and Tess a little more about her past....”Uncle Steele” he thought, “Can this get any better?” Grace had always kept to herself and Jon had always respected that, whatever had brought her to that Alliance ship it was fate that put them together to find Destiny. Her ability with machines was something to be in awe of and now he was hearing she knew the man that made the most infamous weapons the war. This could work for them if push came to shove, if “Uncle” Steele kept a good thought for her. But he was not a very savory character and he if had earned a black mark with the companions guild then he could just as easily turn his back on Grace. “Grace, we’ll just keep this quiet for now. We don’t want folk counting on any kind of favor from Templeton Steele just because you knew him back when. … and no need to put you in any spot light. Only you will know when and if we need to use this information and if you want to keep an eye on Catie, well then you just do that.”

Jon gave Tess a raised eyebrow look to tell her that Grace will always be Grace. Then as walked out of the galley Jon said to Tess, “Well I gather you really like seeing them Simon guys, but I’ll need you to stay by the controls when we make the pickup. No telling if we’ll have to cut and run in a hurry if we get in F’n Zse. (deep crap) You’ll have plenty of time around them two after we are in the black.”

The time was drawing near for the rendezvous John stopped into the Medical bay. Stephanie was used to dealing folks in the important social circles and Jon hoped she would help put Lilianna at ease. When he entered the room Stephanie didn’t stop her activities. The frost of her look warned him things were not much changed. Jon asked if she might come down and greet Lillianna, that the girl might feel more comfortable with someone that had been in some of the social events she had attended. But the dotor still had her spurs on and she made it clear that she had something to take care of and she wouldn’t be down to the cargo bay when the passenger arrived. Jon knew he could order her to be there but… well.. that just wasn’t going to work either.

Persephone, Diviner's Gulch, Day 2, 2:00 am ST

Tess had brought Destiny into the landing zone flawlessly, just as Badger had told them. Now the cargo ramp was down as they waited for the arrival. The crew gathered and as Catie joined them, Jon stepped up to her, “Catie, besides being sure our deal is square I need you to use your skill to be sure this Lillianna feels at ease .” Form outside they saw the approach of vehicles. “Okay folks here they come.”

Almost without sound the hover Limo comes within sight of the ship along with two other armored vehicles. Stopping at the same time, four men step out of each of the vehicles. The far door opens on the limo and a man steps out and runs around to the other side to open the door for the other passengers. You recognize him as Seth Liang from Stephanie’s picture but you did not realize the size. The Bodyguard is easily 6’8” tall and very muscular. His movement is fast, precise and graceful – like a cat or a bird of prey. On his back is a large Jian sword, in a scabbard and on his left side is some sort of hi-tech handgun, but not in a holster. It seems to be just ... attached to a metal strip that runs down the side of his hip and leg. He is dressed in combat fatigues over molded body armour. As he moves closer you see that he wears armoured bracers and gloves that have a power source (lights, buttons, comm. unit).

Seth opens the door and two ladies step out. There dressed to the 9’s was the Princess, all in silk, mink and leather. She wears a hat with a veil. When she removes the veil, she looks at the ship, the crew the gangplank and looks close to tears. In quiet whisper to Catie Jon says, “That’s Lilianna and she don’t look non too happy to be with us.”

The wedding planner and the Simon all stepped out and prepared to board but first the guards started to unload luggage and lots of it. They carried to the ramp and then set it down and went to form a perimeter. The bodyguard stepped forward, “I am Seth. This is Lilianna Fairchild and Asante Chang. These two men are from your employer, I believe. I am in charge of Ms. Fairchild’s protection. Which one of you is the Captain?”

Jon looked to the bodyguard and then to pile of luggage, “I’m the Captain.” Looking to his PR man, “That’s JC, our ship’s security, he’ll take you around the ship so you check things yourself. Nodding to Catie, "This is Miss Yueshi, she’ll see to Miss Fairchild and Miss Asante while you clear the ship.“ Before Seth could say anything Jon shouted out to the Simons, “Fellas lend a hand and grab a couple of them cases as you come on.” Looking back to Angela, “Angela come help me get this stuff on board. …Catie, see that Miss Fairchild is comfortable.” Then turning back to Seth,” if you plan to be getting out here quickly then you best get some them men to help load that pile on board and be getting with JC so we can be getting into the black.” Jon walked past the passagers and to the pile of luggage and started hauling a trunk into the cargo bay.

Got some chores to do yet today, need to go get some snow tires. I'll settle in later and get working on the post.

Plan to cover a bit of conversation with Grace, just thoughts on the information that MMV posted but figure she told the same to us.

I'll have Jon talk to Stephanie too before he heads down to the cargo bay.

Topic: Destiny Flight - QnA
Subject: Here We Go.....


Well I would have Stephanie involved in the Cargo Bay. She has the most social experiance so she would take the lead to put Lilianna at ease. But Roger has her staying in the medical bay.

I'd feel Tess would be on the bridge ready for a quick escape.

Jon will also mention to Seth that if they plan to leave quickly then he needs to have a couple of the guards to help load the baggage.

Jon would introduce JC and Angela as "Ship's Security" and Catie last as their "new" Business Coordinator, so she could invite Lilianna out board and take her to the Rec area while Seth check out the ship. JC can take Seth around and Angela can help us get the guards to load the baggage. Catie might even talk the Simons into help load.

I'll start on a post that fills this out but each of you can figure building around these ideas.

Dudley looked around the room to see that everyone seems a bit startled, even flustered. Ivan looks around mystified, “Oh sorry dudes. I ain’t ever been in here before. We need to get out of the heat before I...before...I...” and then he moves to one of the benches and falls asleep – snoring loudly. As he snoozes his fur is starting to stand on end making him look poofier.

Dudley addressed to company. "Before we move on did anyone else have strange experience as you pasted through the portal? If you did we should compare them before we pass through to another room. If we are lucky we'll learn them...I for one just faced a demonic creature trying to destroy my Goddess. She asked me to save her.....I did not succeed."

Topic: Vermin & unusual mounts
Subject: Don't Let The RulesStop Your Play....


What is great about this game is that you can make up your own rules. Just show how you came to your conclusions.

Use similar information and extrapolate. (For Vermin, use Rat to start with and then get creative. )(They may be from an alternate universe or a different plane of existence and somehow got stuck here when a rift opened.)

Do you want your creature to be smarter than horses?
Horses are animal 1 intelligence.

Tell how you found such a fine creature. Perhaps they originally were normal and selected by Fey creatures and bred as small mounts. Then some were transformed by a Wizards or Shaman spell of growth but kept their large size. Then they were bred as large creatures for mounts.

If you can support it most DM's will allow it.

Don't let lack to published rules stop a good fun idea.

Topic: Vermin & unusual mounts
Subject: Create Your Own...


I'd just say to create your own like creating a monster.

Pick your creature or make a list and assign a value then roll to see what you get.

(1)Dire Weasel (large)
(2)-Giant Wasp
(3)-Giant Dragonfly
(4)-Giant Spider
(5)-Hippogriff
(6)-Krenshar (large)
In this case roll a d6 and see what you get.

Intell is basicly in 10 groups:
INTELLIGENCE is the equivalent of human "IQ." Certain monsters are instinctively cunning; these are noted in the monster descriptions. Ratings correspond roughly to the following Intelligence ability scores:
(0)0 Nonintelligent or not ratable
(1) 1 Animal intelligence
(2) 2-4 Semi-intelligent
(3) 5-7 Low intelligence
(4) 8-10 Average (human) intelligence
(5) 11-12 Very intelligent
(6)13-14 Highly intelligent
(7)15-16 Exceptionally intelligent
8 17-18 Genius
(9)19-20 Supra-genius

21+ Godlike intelligence

So roll a d20 to determine the range. If you roll a 20 then roll a d10 to see the plus. But in your case do you want a mount that in smarter than you?

As to how many thing you can train it to do. Well list all the thing you want give them value ranges as you see fit guided by the intelligence it has and roll to see if training worked. Those it didn't learn can be taught later and reroll to see if it learned.

You can build a sheet like a monster sheet to give to your DM to show how you determined things and see if he will accept it.

So basically, build a monster.
There may be some rules already on determining what your horse can do, see if you can use that and us it as guide.

Dudley felt the pain in his arm and was glad that his luck was good and that was all that was done to him. But it is always best to stay out of reach if possible, so after the creatures disappeared he moved to the rack of slings. "Sheilin guide my hand as I choose weapons that will serve your servant well." He then pocketed a hand sling, three sacks of stones and grabbed a well sizes pole sling.

Feeling he was better prepare to face the "Round Two" creature he heard the other discuss leaving. "We are better prepared to face whatever comes out of that pillar now. But luck has been with us and we have gained in each room, so let us see what awaits in the next room." The Cleric followed the party as they head to the portal by the bows.

Subject: The Orc Is Mine.........


Dagger yelled ”Unleash the Fury of the Fire Stick!” … while simultaneously motioning with his left hand towards Tohmas to Hold Steady with His Bow!

Areldor raised his wand and once again let the fire ball fly. First one then two then three the huge birds dropped from the sky. As the fourth and final Orc Rider guided his mount within range, Areldor again raised the wand, but this time there was just a puff of cloudy smoke emanating from the tip of the 'Fire Wand', followed by a hollow sounding
PFFFffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

Arm still out stretched, staring thru the disappering smoke he saw the Orc and great bird still approaching. The hollow sound seemed to go beyond his ears and reach into his stomach making him a little queasey. Then he lowered his arm and as the foe got closer he prayed again to his goddess “Minerva be merciful”, then the expession of the illusionist face changed as a small smile appeared and spoke with some confidence "Tohmas your turn."

The last of the great birds swooped into range. Hoping if he could knock the rider from the the back of the giant bird. Without the Orc to cammad it the Roc might just fly away.

Raising the White compound bow the Shaman drew the Slaying Arrow to his ear, the bow whispered, "Swift defeat to my enemies". Tohmas Called out so all would know the Shaman sword loath against the Orc rider, “Death to the Orc rider, it is mine.” In response as the arrow loosed the bow shouted, "Swift death to those who have wronged me."

Subject: My 2 cents....


Ok, got my little post up. Was just a last thought to help get Catie establish and what I was thinking about the Simons.

This should be open enough to move on now. MMV can post to talking to Jon and Tess, but it shouldn't prevent us leaving to start. I added an opening for Grace to talk to Jon and Tess.

It was getting late last night and wanted to just get that out.

Van, I'm still trying to get my head around dealing with Angela without driving any character actions. So when you think I push too far let me know and we can correct it. I haven't used any of the "command" phrases yet because I feel Jon still doesn't know how and when to us them. Do you want me to give you heads up when I think it's a time for him to use it so you can perpare or we can change it?

Subject: Get'r Done.........


The crew gave their reports..more or less. Even with all the good connections there just wasn’t much to be learned. “I thank you all for trying but we don’t know much more than we did before. This here job is ricky, but it’s our job now, so we’ll see it through. ….Sounds like Catie might have kept my foot out of my mouth if we’d known you were good with the deal.. Angela did a good job of saving me from making things worse, but it would have been nice to not have to go down that way…. Catie, I want you ready if these folk try to add the deal. If they add more we should get more…and when this is done I’ll count on you to be sure we get paid right. If things go well enough and you decide to stay then you’ll earn a share.” Jon wasn’t sure if Angela realized she was earning a share, but he had left that to Grace to handle for her. JC and Stephanie were both getting a share too. Tess, Grace and him had agreed a long time ago that they got two shares each after they had got Destiny flying the first time, sort of the finder’s fee or owns share. Jon usually kept most of his back or made sure Grace had what she needed to keep Destiny in the sky.

"As for them Simon brothers, to me it looked more like they had been assigned the Badger instead of him just hiring them. I don’t think he has to remind the rest of his lackeys that he’s the boss and them two didn’t seem to worried when Badger had to remind them. That would go along with them not seeming to exist….There is more maneuvering to this operation than is up front, folks playing folks for power and position. JC, like I said before you need to keep an eye on them, …..Angela you are pretty good sensing when things are Ma Fuhn (trouble) so make yourself a note about them Simons and help JC watch them boys”……. Jon looked around the room to see if anyone had more to say.. no one spoke up, “Well I guess that’s about it..Let’s do this job.”

When most of the crew had headed off Grace stopped Jon and Tess, “Can I have a word with you?”
