Agreed. I really want to help Cordie out.

She'll...probably be fine next turn especially with omakes, but if the Chaotix don't pull through we'll be in trouble.

More stuff for the Chaotix or Maria would hopefully help.

...Wait do they even know what they are looking for?

...Might be worth an omake.

They do know, Eggman has given them all the information he has on Marie, so now is up to them to find her.

So two Trickery Action next turn? One Empire Infiltration and the second recalling Storm?

Recalling Conquering Storm is a Logisitc Action and she and the Egg Clan can also arrive on time for the raid.
 
You can tell it's a good quest because we're being pulled in a million different directions. We've got
  • Zavok's incoming attack
  • Cordelia trying to evade capture in the Empire
  • Recruitment Woes
  • Piastol's Ship Needing Repairs
  • Canaan's Search
  • Conquering Storm's Recall
  • Guilder's Appearance
  • Building Our Foundation
  • Belle's Drive (Find Her Father)
  • Cassia's Disease
It's a lot. It's a lot to consider. Me personally? I'm just trying to get our foundation built early so we can hopefully reach those other things on our terms.

So far turn 4 plan is trying to get the conch coming turn for certain red guy, but honestly a case could be made for infiltrating the empire.

And even then we need to be carerful, our power actions could go pretty bad and the deck won't be as stacked for the red guy as we would like.
 
"Nack's Grand, Amazing Auction!!!" Part 1- Enjoy the sights.
You were the brilliant Dr. Starline, and you were ecstatic to be assigned such a mission.

After your unfortunate blunder with finding the Conch (a simple setback, not one you couldn't resolve soon enough) you were worried the good doctor wouldn't deign to trust you very much again.

But you were wrong!

Though you had to say, you were mildly offended you were being forced to bring two others along, especially that lickspittle Stone. You had to admit, the man was smarter than he appeared, and you had the occasional enlightening conversation, but there was something about him that rubbed you the wrong way.

Regardless, the two of you and Canaan met up with the illustrious Dr. Eggman. He had just returned from the lab with Rusty, and he seemed a little… distracted. It was a tad worrisome.

"I am fine. Hmm. You know your mission. Get in there, get me that lance, and get out. Try not to get caught, though I am setting some things in motion that should limit the risks if you are. Do not disappoint me." The Doctor grunted when you asked him about it.

Stone gave an eager salute and Canaan nodded stoically before you opened a portal with the Warp Topaz and entered it alongside your comrades.

The three of you appeared a good distance away from a seaside warehouse. You were far enough that the currently filtering in auction guests wouldn't see you, but close enough doing some recon wasn't impossible.

"Canaan, cover me. We don't know what dangers could await." You ordered.

She nods along and stoically keeps her eyes peeled. Bah. She could stand to have a little more enthusiasm! You are following the orders of one of history's greatest minds!

Nonetheless, with Stone flanking, the two of you do some investigation.

Investigate the Warehouse
DC 50/70/90
52 + 20 (Starline Trickery) + 15 (Warp Topaz) + 22 (Canaan Trickery) = 109
Complete Success!

What you see doesn't surprise you, though you acknowledge it could make things a bit harder.

The warehouse is swarming with guards, all armed and keeping a close eye on things. There were also cameras too, swerving back and forth to check the perimeter consistently.

You couldn't just teleport inside, it would be too suspicious and there was just too much security, especially since you don't know exactly where the lance is yet. One wrong move and you could face capture… or worse.

However, not all hope was lost. By carefully analyzing the guard's patterns and the timing of the cameras' movement, you were able to pinpoint an exact time where guards would be swapping shifts and the cameras would be pointed away from the backdoor.

It would require very, VERY precise timing, but it was doable if you were flawless about it.

And quite frankly, flawless may as well be your middle name!

You smirk and relay this information to Stone over a communicator the doctor kindly provided, as the man had hung back to avoid getting in the way. He made his way over and the three of you watched.

After a bit of waiting with baited breath, the guards left. Perfect!

"Go go go!" You hissed to the others, and you ran forward as stealthily as you could!

With that, you were inside, or at least past the door. Time will tell how further in you can get as the three of you squat down to hide.

As you do that, a thought occurs to you. If you're infiltrating this auction, it might be a good idea to double check who is even here. You doubt any would be allies, especially with you crashing the party, but you never know, and even if you're correct (as you often are), if you recognize anyone you know who to avoid. Even those you don't recognize you may be able to gather tidbits on them should they be a problem later.

But still, you might not have the time to engage in such further espionage. There was no telling where the lance was, so it could also be best to take risks and get a headstart.

Bleh. Decisions, decisions!

What do you do?

You know....I have an idea for later down the line. I checked the Skies of Arcadia TvTropes...and found something. Spoiler alert, Piastol has a younger sister (names Maria). She believed she (and her father) were killed by the sky pirate Vyse.

As it turns out, NOPE. Maria is in the care of one called Doc. As for who killed her father? One Ramirez of the Valuan Empire.

So if we happen to investigate the region where the Valuan Empire might be (if they are here in this world)...and we happen to find Piastol's sister...we DEFINITELY have her loyalty. She'll probably still hunt Vyse...but her rage/obsession will shift targets...Still, we have an empire in the skies to eventually contend with...maybe...

Yeah that's the problem, though can I get a confirmation from the QM's for this? If we search the Conch next turn and succeed, will it arrive on time for Zavok's Invasion? If not Infiltrate the Empire it is for me.
 
We can risk a little, remember that Starline and Stone have a trait that allows a single reroll for any failure in an adventure.

Without counting that not all the goers could be clean and not trying the same thing as us.

As I mentioned before, there are many, many opportunities for you guys, but you can't just go at every direction, you do need to decide a path and commit to it,

What you are doing is a good thing, building foundations is super important.

Also thanks for your kind words!

Yes, if you pass the Action it will be available, reminder it's not an auto-win. if you have that.


Also, voting is open!

Options are:

Why not, how long is the vote for adventures?

Edit: On second thought, I changed my vote. We are on a stealth heist after all.

I understand that Piastol is the only mystic hero around and I'm not saying we should throw her away, but I do think we should be prepared for the possibility she discoveres that hey, Eggman ain't a good guy and isn't really better than pirates.
I do think Captain Metal is cool tho so I do want to make positive contact with him at some point, which Piastol doesn't need to learn about.

Piastol is not that naive, she does understand, or at least have idea, what kind of man that's Eggman but she's a woman focused on her mission and she never hunted Valua despite being wanted by them and Canaan is mercenary that's likely took contract for dictators.

As long Eggman don't go around draining people of they life forces or turn them into robots or just bombing a village for the kicks we will be fine.
 
Also people remember that if going by Eggman comment the auction is happening the same time as the raid on Black Arms base so is likely at some point Eggman grand return will be played and most people will be distracted by it.
