For the Republic
Some will call it parody.
Others, homage.
Losers will call it lame.
We call it…
This the hype and sign-up thread for the High Republic Dominion of the Truuine, Gydine and Nahkisa superhex.
On each of these three worlds we will run individual PvE scenarios. Each location will have a villain, and each location will have a die-roll fueled lottery to decide the disaster you will face.
Once the thread goes live, you will be given 96 hours (approximately) to post, and make your die rolls in your chosen objective. You may send different characters to different objectives. At the end of that 96 hours, the cumulative total of all die rolls of all involved will determine which event is triggered.
Only in post die rolls will be accepted. Forgetting or choosing not to roll will alter the result, which is great!
All die rolls will be 1d20.
Neither crime lord, nor mad genius, Garlok Tal is more insidious than they all. Or so he likes to think. He has only one task in mind, the infiltration and takeover of the High Republic aristocracy. Even if it means eliminating a few along the way.
The oblivious will enjoy a lovely time on the slopes, exploring ice caves and skating on frozen lakes. The aware will investigate while passing themselves off as holidaymakers, neither will be able to prevent Garlok Tal’s murderous attempts.
Possible events based on cumulative die results in this objective:
| 0 - 1 | Cryoquake rips the planet open, killing all. |
| 2 - 40 | The gondalas immediately stop in place. Ski lifts cease to move. And Tal’s henchmen begin to cut the cables, threatening to plunge all to their doom. |
| 41 - 80 | Tal’s technicians reprogram the snow machines to turn them into snow canons! Giant ice spikes are being shot at you from all angles. |
| 81-140 | The avalanche warning sounds. But there is no avalanche. A stampede of sentients threatens all present, as resort goers panic and seek safe rooms…which promptly lock, and air begins to deplete. |
| 141-199 | A freak storm hits (totally not a weather machine) and the blizzard brings visibility to almost zero. |
| 200+ | Avalanche! |
Behind the scenes Emlo the Hutt is desperate for cash as the Black Sun fails to fill her coffers. She will stop at nothing to keep her business afloat. For her it is a matter of personal honour, especially after her father said she would never amount to anything (in Huttese, of course).
The oblivious will enjoy a lovely time at the spa, mud pools and saunas. The aware will investigate while passing themselves off as holidaymakers, neither will be able to preventEmlo’s dastardly schemes! Muahahahahaha!
Possible events based on cumulative die results in this objective:
| 0 -1 | Super volcano eruption wipes out all life on the planet. |
| 2 - 40 | The droid butlers malfunction? NO, they were programmed for this! The oblivious are taken as hostages! The aware must navigate the maintenance section to find a way to eliminate the droids. |
| 41 - 80 | The doors to the saunas lock. The access ladders to mudpools retract. The spa’s become ray shielded. No one will escape unless they pay double! Some may have been stuck on the outside, but most will be trapped. |
| 81-140 | In his greed, Emlo dug too deep. From the depths of the Trixkellion underground mud oceans rises the great terror from the deep! A massive serpentine beast attacks the facility. |
| 141-199 | Bounty Hunters descend on the location, informed by Emlo that wealthy targets are available for the taking — so long as he gets a cut. NPC or PC bounty hunter characters welcome. |
| 200+ | Boiling mud flood! And eventual eruption! |
Hoping to attract new funders for his research, the scientist — Dr Archibald Cortex — is about to test his experiment out on the unsuspecting holiday makers at the Resort. You can play a holiday maker, or an investigator posing as a holiday maker. Either way, you will be too late to stop his scheme!
How will you fair?
Possible events based on cumulative die results in this objective:
| 0 - 1 | Solar flare wipes out all life on the planet. |
| 2 - 40 | Mutant sharks with engrafted laser weapons attack beach goers. The oblivious will be stuck out on boats, boards or sundry flotation items. |
| 41 - 80 | The water suddenly retreats from the shore. The horizon rises to meet the setting sun. Tidal wave! |
| 81-140 | Jellyfish that are far more acrobatic than they should be begin attaching themselves to swimmer’s backs, taking control of the victim and setting them loose on a parasite controlled attack on the unaffected populace. |
| 141-199 | The gentle breeze becomes a gale. The gale becomes a cyclone. The storm hits. |
| 200+ | Kaiju crab attack! |
