re: Dianoga event. Using the comm call assist...requires the assistance to make sense, correct?

Example, normal assistance has it where you can use one player's skill and one player's attribute, but, for example, calling Snowy for a Melee assist and using his Brawn is a bit odd (but I'll accept 'the magic of roleplay' if that's a thing we could do.)

Or is the assist of just plain add a Boost die?

Accept the magic of role play! Feel free to use his Brawn for the roll.

I encourage getting the other player to post in the thread!

Hmm, borderline but I will say yes since it's the high winds and cold that are making things difficult!

I hadn't considered the possibility, but since you said that, would any of Snowie's variety of things to mitigate the cold apply to remove (maybe just one?) of the setbacks?

Just to make sure about what the current situation in the Outbreak is!
If a location has a single Outbreak mark, any successful roll at that location will receive 1 bonus Success, and the Outbreak mark will be cleared.
Apollo converted two advantage to a success on his roll there. So...
1) does that count as a "successful roll at the location"? Or not?

If so, and if I understood that correctly, then
2) That should count as 2 successes, and
3) the Outbreak mark is probably cleared there?

Just to make sure!

(And also thanks to Nicha for the previous answer :D Will be helpful!)

Two advantage adds a Success to the location, not to a roll. Therefore, the roll was not successful, so the Outbreak mark is not cleared, nor the bonus Success earned.

Concord Dawn Trench
It seems as though the people most affected by the illness were those who had visited the trail that the Concord Dawn had cut through the wilderness. Perhaps there’s a connection between that and the illnesses?
Allowed Rolls: Medicine, Xenology, Perception, Leadership
SPECIAL: Once this event is completed, players succeed at the event. Do not roll for any more Outbreaks.
Can players who already rolled roll 4th or 5th rolls here? Or is it just for new rollers?

Also - assuming each new rollers gets 3 tries as usual?

Thanks :)

Besides what's listed in Special, no other rules have changed; 4th and 5th rolls are allowed, new rollers roll 3 times.

Chasing the train combat.

Do you want initiative in first rolls? It reads a bit more like no, just get the piloting rolls in and deal with a shot from the repeating blaster each round we're not on the train. But checking to be sure!

A bit late, but for next rolls, are the piloting setbacks at all affected by the ubiquitous thermal cloaks? I'm assuming not (obviously) but someone's going to ask, may as well be me.

No need for initiative until someone lands on the train!

Piloting setback is not affected by the thermal cloaks. We have finally reached the limits of cloak technology :O

It's close, but no, not in this case.

Warm Refuge questions.
Stage 3 Sleeting Forest:

The forest is a bit more cleared out again, but poor weather makes it a dangerous choice for the unprepared.

Special rules: Add one Setback to each Standard Roll made here. Additionally, all rolls gain two Setback from cold and two Setback from darkness/poor visibility.
Can thermal cloaks or Snowflake pelts counter some setback from cold?

Does Miralukan force sight counter some setback from darkness/poor visibilty?

Would Farsight affect the latter setbacks? (particularly if using Farsight enhanced Perception/Vigilance)

On that same vein, would outdoorsman get rid of the standard one setback given by the various areas or the forest?

As well as the one from the Crystal Canyon?

1) Yes, however many they say

2) Yes, basic Miralukan force sight will cancel 1

3) Farsight would cancel it all
