Episode 2561: Getting Clean Away

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

In fiction, escapes are always at the last second. You can of course use this in a game too, but also consider that many times the fleeing party will be escaping with plenty of time, well ahead of any possible pursuit. This can be especially so when the PCs are the pursuers. They track down the enemy and find their camp, and when they raid the place, the enemy are long gone, the place hasn't been touched in weeks.

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Couple hundred people? Yeah that sounds about right. Along with the assumption that everyone will fit as well. No, wait. If they use the cargo storage and assuming everyone is really good friends, they might just all fit.

So the First Order is in the base now. Hopefully everyone managed to escape out the back. The floor confused me at first until I realized those are shadows of the troopers being cast much further inside. Interesting framing of Hux there in the last panel as well. I wonder what the intention there is; it could have just as easily been more troopers walking by instead.

And good thing Kylo didn't say to comb the area. They're in the wrong setting for that!

Transcript

Rey: How many people are there?
Resistance Member: Maybe a couple of hundred.
Rey: We’ll all fit on the Falcon. Let’s go!
Leia: Rey. Do you sense it?
Rey: Huh?
GM: You feel that Luke is gone. But without sadness or pain. It was peace and purpose.
Leia: His purpose was to let us escape. C’mon!
GM: Meanwhile, First Order forces enter the bunker.
Kylo Ren: Sweep the area!
First Order Trooper 1: Yes, sir!
First Order Trooper 2: Uh... Does sweeping include dusting?
First Order Trooper 1: Don’t be stupid!
First Order Trooper 1: Of course it does.
