A Centimeter Forward

We had kind of a slack session this last time.

A week passed in the game. Cyprian recovered from his wounds. Oslo and Geyer traded speeder bikes so that Oslo could have a gun on his again. They spent some time rigging the civilian bike so that Geyer could use a trigger sequence to lock the throttle forward and arm two saddlebag satchel charges for detonation on impact. The new recruits started their training. Commander Brassic thanked the group for excellent work in inflicting serious harm to the Empire, while also winning hearts and minds of the locals.

Two communications came in during the week.

Agricultural Minister Mondren called to say that he has fled his city, and wants Rebel support in secretly meeting with other city-states to coordinate efforts against the Empire. He says that there has been renewed security and brutality in the wake of the destruction of the imperial outpost at Vernar.

Glejn returned to his family unit, and says he has a message for the PCs from the bandit leader. Geyer is especially suspicious, as he noticed Hutt-related gang tattoos and symbols among the bandits who attacked the convoy.

The players decided to meet up with Brem Mondren, and work with him to align more leaders against the Empire.

I went ahead and granted 5xp for the session, for everyone. That should bring the total to 30 xp gained since the beginning. 5xp for the first encounter. 10xp for each of the two weeks of the assault, and 5xp for this latest session. Character can increase Skills, or purchase new ones. They can buy new Specialties (talent trees) and new Talents on those trees.
