Maybe someone forgot to do their daily sacrifices to the dice for good rolls. Who was in charge of the sacrifice for this week?

I used pigs blood instead of goats blood.
You know occasional randomly appearing roll maluses that we have no idea where they come from and Snark refuses to elaborate on would be an interesting mechanic.
The thread reactions would be amusing if nothing else.

Wait, with the winning plan did we send Grievous to Onderon or Thrawn?
Wasn't in charge of that, but I will say when I cast the bones earlier a few of them burst into flames and one changed color briefly.

Hah, I got there first. Though yours is better in pretty much every way imaginable.

Here you go:
EDIT: dammit, double-ninja'd by @Panory and @Pathos...!
So yeah: this was our second-worst turn ever. second-lowest 'high' roll, tied-for-lowest 'low' roll (natural 1), second-lowest average, 0 natural crits. The fact that we're still relatively intact is frankly an accomplishment after this sort of turn.
Thrawn to Onderon (for omake goodies, possibly including Tann's flagship)
Grievous to Scipio (to let him discover that the IGBC was responsible for trying to bomb him, so many years ago when we first encountered him)
@Dr. Snark, do you plan to do the (three) salvage rolls now or after you've finished giving the results from this turn?
Same question applies for the CNS Integration rolls.

I would have felt extremely bad if this had failed after my omake as I hadn't intended to brick HK-47 completely.
Statement: That reminded me of the electronic butchery my former master inflicted on me briefly by installing that infernal pacifist package.

Excellent. Someone earlier made a comment to the contrary and that threw me for a loop. While that stolen dreadnought would probably be too large and visible for use by the Abyss Watchers, it would be extremely useful for the CNS, provided we find a way to transfer ownership to them without causing a diplomatic incident. Very doable, but should be done with care.

Even useing goats blood wouldn't of worked. While normally using Goats blood (or pigs blood in a pinch) would work for most terrestrial things you have to keep in mind this quest is set in the stars. Thus needing something a little more special. The proper blood offering of course would of been any water dwelling creatures blood such as fish in reference to the current Zodiac symbol.*Nods sagely* yes you have much to learn when it comes to rituals.....

Wow, I'm going to recheck Turn 20 now, the hell.
@edit: Miraculousy, we actually succeed on everything on turn 20, despite all odds.

Cue angry Sidious practicing "force omake choke" through the forth wall.
(I imagine him using a little stuffed squirrel voodoo doll as a focus for it.)
Also cue Sidious being strangely irritable any time anyone offers him a lolipop. :lol

That explains the problem. It is currently the year of the rooster. Last time I checked roosters weren't fish.

Forging a Chain
Tyro sighed as Ciaran fired the blaster once more, again hitting the target slightly off center. "You need to bend it around the post to hit the bullseye. Just reach out and grab it with the Force." he instructed again. He would have failed most trainees at this point, but Ciaran wasn't exactly someone he could kick out of the program.
Ciaran growled in frustration and started shooting at the target again, trying to bend the shots around it to hit the center. It was one of the most basic Blazing Chains techniques taught to children to both get them acquainted with a blaster and the Force together. Tyro honestly had no clue how Ciaran was so bad at it when he knew she was so terrifyingly competent with the Force.
As more shots hit the target off center of the center of the pole, Ciaran set the blaster down and screamed her vexation at the situation. "How am I supposed to just grab a blaster bolt with the Force?"
"It's no different than grabbing anything else with the Force, and I know you're capable of moving objects with the Force." berated Tyro, honestly somewhat short tempered by his pupil's lack of progress. Perhaps if he appealed to her ego it would spur her to do better. The Force was often tied closely to emotions. "This is the easiest exercise I know of. My own son mastered this by age seven."
"How?!" exclaimed Ciaran. "Blaster bolts move way too fast to just pluck out of the air with the Force."
Tyro blinked as the puzzle came together for him. He had thought it such a basic concept of not just the Blazing Chains, but the Force in general. Tyro had never even considered that it wasn't Ciaran's strength with the Force that was lacking, but her reaction time. "Ciaran, have you been trying to react to the shots?"
"Of course." she replied tersely. "What else am I supposed to do? Control the bolts before I fire them? I've tried that, it doesn't work."
"Ciaran, one of the most basic abilities of the Force is to glimpse the future. Even children with no training in the Force have supernaturally fast reactions because of it." said Tyro slowly, pained by both his and Ciaran's failure to realize the issue. "You use the Force to react to the shot before it's fired. Doing it after is near impossible."
Ciaran took a deep breath, and groaned into her hands. "No wonder I've been having so much trouble with this. My training with Shatterforce has me looking at the present for moments and places to affect." Ciaran picked up the blaster from where she had put it down and aimed at the target again with her eyes closed. "Let me try this again."
Sure enough, the shot bent in midair to curve around the pole. It wasn't dead center, but it was the first time she had actually affected the shot. Opening her eyes to look, Ciaran groaned. "By the Force, we're both idiots." Tyro couldn't really disagree.
AN: In which Ciaran's Force training interferes with her Force training. She progresses at the expected pace afterwards, but this miscommunication set her back a bit. Her blaster bolts don't track people until they hit something like Tyro's do, but inaccuracy is a thing of the past, and people shooting at her miss a lot more than they would otherwise. Hey @Dr. Snark, would learning advanced Blazing Chains techniques next turn be a viable option, considering the gap between what Tyro knows how to do and what we would have learned from a bare success like this?

Must I do everything? I mean, c'mon. What is this, amateur hour? It's Mexico City all over again. I'm gonna get the ferret and then it's off to the Balkans to fix this. You guys are so damn lucky there's a hollowed star out tonight.

Who the flying fuck are you and why do you know about Mexico City?
Anyway, back on topic. With all that success it'll be interesting to see what the disaster roll throws our way.
