Star Wars status post.

So. With the help of an old friend, the party has staged two rescue attempts, with a third on the way.

The current status of each party member is:

Missy & Tra: stranded on a foreign, hostile world; wearing prison uniforms. Assets: 2 pairs of manacles, 1 stun baton, 1 blaster pistol, 24 credits.

Loren: confessed during interrogation to working for the ISB. Condemned, skin aerosolized during torture, anesthetized into unconsciousness, ready to die; rescued.

Mal & Jark: wounded, heavily armed with explosives, carrying Loren out of the Strike Cruiser detention block. The entire ship has been alerted to their presence, and the nearest possible escape vehicle is 7 decks away. More excited with their lives than they have been in months.

Ama: (still) unconscious in a torpedo tube, and likely to remain so for the next eight hours.

Body count: 12 dead or stunned stormtroopers, 10 dead or stunned officers, 3 dead pilots (from last session).

Original crew compliment of an Imperial Strike Cruiser: 2,112 plus 340 stormtroopers.

same recipe as last night.

minus the cheese and garlic, because I'm out. Substituting with:

2 Tbsp thyme
2 Tbsp dill
1 Tbsp onion powder
2 tsp Old bay
1 tsp sage

We'll see how this works. It's still in the oven. Smells good, though!

Important tip, though: if the dough seems too dry, DON'T add more water. Just keep working it around until the dryer parts are well mixed in with the rest. I added just a splash more water and it dramatically changed the consistency of much of the dough.
