The ship is now in the Ares system and engaged in combat!<br/><br/>The PCs will go through normal combat turns, and Baromir, Delila, Arkhah and Cortez may each use an NPC action in addition to their normal turn.  NPCs can take any extended action using a skill rating of 40, though if the same action provides the same bonus, the bonuses overlap, not stack.  Any PC aboard the<em>Reliquary of Alexander</em>can use 3 NPC actions, or split NPC actions with the the other PCs aboard<em>Reliquary of Alexander</em><br/><br/>Note that I've chosen who can use NPC actions not for logic, but to give people things to do during the battle, if they don't have applicable skills.  Tagan may select what the ship does during the movement action, but Cortez picks who fires the guns during the shooting phase and at what.
