S01 E23 - Ironsworn: Starforged - The Cost of Safety

Welcome to One Guy One Roll, where I am host, play, and GM roleplaying games for your listening pleasure. This is episode 23 of Ironsworn: Starforged where I am playing Nikora Sokolov aboard the Second Chance. It has been an eventful last couple of episodes and I have been having a blast recording them for y’all. Luckily, it’s starting to feel like I am finally catching up on the podcast and once again I apologize for the length of time between episodes recently. Thank you so much for all the amazing support you continue to provide, it really means a lot to me. This next paragraph is going to be a summary of episode 22, which will contain some light spoilers. I recommend skipping this paragraph if you wish to avoid being spoiled! The episode begins with a flashback of Nikora as a kid growing up down in the slums surrounded by towering guild halls. The destitute, starving boy often had to dumpster dive, an illegal activity, in order to survive, which often led to severe punishments. After the introduction, we learn a little bit more about the Brotherhood of Steel and how they operate within the Forge. This leads directly into Lieutenant Eren Slater of the BoS entering into the Second Chance, searching the ship and conducting an interrogation of Nikora, specifically asking about Subject A. After successfully engaging in some smooth talking, Nikora gets the Lieutenant to agree to escort them to the Aegis Hold proper where they can get the spaceship fixed up, take on some supplies, and hopefully even fix Chance. Unfortunately for the Lieutenant, the colonel in charge of the Aegis Hold is furious that she allowed this potential breach of security to occur and assigns her to be personally responsible for escorting Nikora and Petra around the station and ensuring they don’t get up to any funny business. Our episode comes to a close with the three of them leaving the Second Chance as massive docking clamps are being installed on the landing gear in order to prevent them from leaving.
