So, for instance, how could Rick have known on his own where the pirates are? I didn't know it and my character should be able to see them.

Before I declare my actions (declare, not roll for), I'd like to have the side that lost initiative declare, and I'd like a summary of where everyone is or what they're doing. I don't need a map and I don't need exact distances. After that, I'll declare my actions and then wait for the side that los...

Okay, so the enemy gets to declare actions first in this round, right?

Cool, thanks.

Response to what? I acted on Friday. I rolled to keep Borble from being crushed and failed.

There was no downside stated to avoiding the collapse and it seems like a save-or-die check and it sounds like Borble is at risk even though it was near the truck, so I went ahead and rolled.

RS check vs. 40: [1d100] = 63

Should I start making my new character, or what?

Thoughts? http://apps01.prominic.net/A55A94/AlphaDawn.nsf/8F3B2420B537CBC386256D3D006674CB/CE2E8F084423CB01862584D50080EBBF?OpenDocument In my experience that would result in it not getting looked at or updated.

Okay guys, remember that you lost initiative, so they get to go first. Also, has Borble gone at all these past turns? No. I'm not used to how this is supposed to go and I'm finding this very hard to follow. I didn't know initiative would be rolled for the next round if not everyone has acted. I gue...

There are no critical failures in SF, as written. There are some automatic failures, I believe, but they're just like any other failure.

If Borble is unable to climb the truck (I assume that's what the failed check means, but I could be wrong), it will settle for flattening itself against the truck to where the heavy gun can't get a shot at him.

DEX check vs. 40: [1d100] = 55

Borble runs straight for the truck, clearly hoping to get to the gunner as soon as possible.

Borble follows along.

"They are pirates, yes? Interesting that they would resort to tactics as technical as holograms. Then again, I'm proud to say that I'm not acquainted with the ways of criminals."

It might be worth having a running summary in every post. I can explain further if desired.

Borble brings its spear back up and continues running, angling itself toward the nearest unoccupied target.

Borble continues lumbering through the killzone. It lowers its spear point to the side and bellows "Stand down! We are not mandated to harm you or disrupt your business. We simply seek to report on the strange goings on."

(Continuing to run.)

Borble gives up trying to sneak and runs straight for the nearest attacker.

-10 penalty to hit Borble due to his running.

For what it's worth, given that there doesn't appear to be any cover, Borble moves around to the left, attempting to utilize the stealth it has learned as part of its environmental training.
Stealth vs. 30%: [1d100] = 37 Fail, unless there are any applicable modifiers.

Just in case you're waiting on me to roll:
