Need a Hand?

[KinkyPrawn]

What is going to happen in your plot?
Hask and Irolia go on a rather awkward adventure to get an arm and a ship.

What other players will be a part of this?
@Hask Jen , @Irolia Shen

Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?
Petram Prime, Coruscant

Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
Thread 1(Ask/Self-DM): Hask and Irolia bump into each other while hunting a man wanted by the SE on Coruscant. They decide to work together and split the bounty. Hask offers for her to tag along in search of a new arm.

Thread 2(Ask/Self-DM):Hask needs money to get himself a new arm. They travel to Petram Prime in search of a Cortosis mine to pillage and sell on the black market for enough money to buy him an arm. They find an abandoned mine infested with creatures that is rumoured to have a shipment left behind during its abandonment

Thread 3(Ask/Self-DM): Finally after finding the shipment of Cortosis and loading it into a speeder, they are pursued by a gang that was also after the shipment. They need to fight them off and get to the space port nearby.

Thread 4(Ask/Self-DM): Finally with the money in hand they go to a doctor who can do the operation. He says that his shipment of prosthetics were hijacked by pirates. They track down the pirates, infiltrate the base and get back the items. In the process they escape in a stolen yacht. They fly it back to Coruscant and Irolia decides to keep it while Hask gets his new arm.

What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?
To get a Vor'yc Baar left arm for Hask and a Nightsweeper-Class Star Yacht for Irolia

Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.
nope

So firstly the planet is spelled Atrer III not Arter lol.

So Atrer III has electromagnetic waves that reach out into the whole solar system so any phriktite shipment you try to steal is going to have to be in the shadow of a planet or else your ship will get zapped and be dead in the water until you can do a rescue plot. Ships only go to the planet once a month during a lunar eclipse so the ships can travel in the shadow of the moon and not fall to the planet without power. If you're going to do anything longer than an hour or so on the planet you'll probably get stranded.

You telling me I've been reading it wrong for months now and didn't notice until now...? >.>


Also I thought the waves could be timed so you can land without your ship getting shut down? Oh well there goes my smexy mad max fantasy...


I'll try and think of a replacement.

Edit: what if they pitch up the day befire an eclipse, don't know about the storms, then the ship is knocked out. They find a village and they also manage to fix the ship in thread 2 then in thread 3 they fly off once the eclipse rolls in?

Nope, more like a constant thing when close to the planet. Edge of the system isn't so bad but around the planets it's non stop electromagnetic interference.

I'd say you could have them "crash land" in a separate ship that's disposable, find and do all their fighting. Then when the eclipse comes the actual ship comes to pick them up. It never says how long or short the eclipse lands but most tend to not be very long so I would say anything longer than an hour is pushing it realistically. You could do it so this whole plot spans the time of over a month so one time you come down and then wait a month IC and then come down again a month later for an hour or something.

Or you could just not be trying to spend hours on the planet and think up a way to be in space. The place is a hell trap and sucks for a reason lol.

ok so.

did some talking.

Think it might be interesting to force these 2 characters to suffer for a whole month in each other's presence.

Is it cool if they crash land on the planet. Spend a month fixing the ship and getting the haul, then escape with the ship and haul during the month's eclipse?

Once the stuff gets fried it's more or less permanently broken. It's not like it just forces the ship to turn off, it damages it so that it can't work at all even if the emp affect goes away. But if you do that you are more or less forcing this plot to become a rescue attempt for your character on top of the other. You can do that but I'd say you'd want to do another thread on top of the existing one at least because that is 2 people escaping Atrer III and not just one person rescuing the other.

 

[KinkyPrawn]

Alright

Plan B: They go to Petram Prime in search of Cortosis. They find a mine that's abandoned due to safety reasons and infested with creatures that kill people who wander in. The find crates that were left behind when the mine threatened to cave in. In thread 2 they get in trouble with a gang that's also after that shipment.

Will that work?

Sorry, I was also looking at another plot and got it confused with your's. (derping hard without coffee and juggling work with 5 other things .-. )

Still, bottom line is the only people who land and get off the planet are people who have phrik being directly loaded onto their ship and then they leave in that limited one hour period. If you want to do something with that go for it.

But plan B also works well and is a lot simpler so maybe just go with that.

There we go, edited.

@Darasuum Just a heads up. Since the Blockade Runner got nerfed into oblivion, I added the Nightsweeper yacht for Raven's reward and altered the last thread to reflect that change. It's a 3-thread ship so it's still within the budget for the plot.

 

[Darasuum]

I think it's fair to say that it's still valid. Plot continues to be approved. Thanks for the update.
