OOC:
Alyx (and I'm assuming Ian also) really like Evelynn so if she started acting dazed and weird and went into the scary corridor, I think we would follow her.
Alyx sighs and relaxes, nodding at Ian, then glancing behind herself while he looked at the cube with his scanner. "Hey, Ian," she interrupts him, "Evelynn isn't with the group. I think she's going into that scary passageway you found. Evelynn!" She sighs as the Miraluka glides away as if in a dream, without even flinching at the sound of Alyx' voice. "Damn . . ."
OOC:
Just using Alyx' cry as flavor for the scene, no rolling required. Hope this looks ok, let me know and I will change stuff :-D

OOC:
Yea, Zepharo will go in.

Ian stares at the cube for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. Alyx starts talking but instead of really paying attention he seems drawn to a section of the cube that looks like it could be manipulated with just a little Force. As if in a dream he raises his hand before he is distracted by the Zabrak girl shouting about Evelynn heading down into the passage. With a scowl he drops the cube into his backpack and hefts his blaster rifle. "Sonofabitch. You gotta be kiddin' me . . . With that he catches up to Alyx and heads down the stairs with her to chase after Evelynn.
OOC:
I will take those Threats as Strain.

@Taryn: Character motivation coming right atcha.
As you stand and contemplate Avi's task, you feel conflicted. You want to help her but you also know that this task is meant for her alone.

You watch as your friends take the tunnel leading deeper into the dark tunnel. Suddenly, you are almost overwhelmed by a feeling of unfathomable pain. It reminds you of your vision. It could he a coincidence. Then you remember Master Selak's words There are no coincidences. There is only the the force

@Everyone:

The tunnel opens up into a massive chamber. Taking a moment to take it all in, you seem to be standing in the middle of a massive stadium. You see a small wall, perhaps ten feet high, that surrounds the oval chamber and above the wall, row upon row of seats have been carved into the stone. In the middle of the arena, there is a massive black obelisk, not far from where you have entered. There are no apparent exits to the room.

Suddenly, you all feel a massige surge of fear, rage and death, as if countless lives have all met violent ends in this chamber. This place surges with dark energy.
OOC:
Everyone with morality of 50 or above takes 2 points of strain (which I think is all of you).
What do you do?

"Okay." Ian raises his hand, "Nobody move 'till we get us a strategy in place. If this room could talk it'd be sayin' 'fuck you'." He goes to point at the wall surrounding the pit, "We've got two rifles, so we should get shooters up on'the ledge there." The arena seems as though it has been deserted for a thousand years but Ian is acting like its inhabitants are just laying in wait to strike at them.

OOC:
I mean, to be exact my Morality IS 50, not above. I would guess that is where most of us are too? But maybe I'm wrong about that.
Zepharo skirts the edge of the arena some, he un-shoulders the blaster rifle he took from the practice range, and scrutinizes the details of their surroundings more.

Rolls

Perception, Average + SE due to darkness

2 Success, 2 Advantage, 1 Failure, 3 Threat

Total: 1 Success, 1 Threat

Interestingly, the stone looks spotless. There isn't even a speck of dust anywhere. However, it is as silent as the grave. It almost seems like there is an air of expectation in the air, as if the place is waiting for you to do something.

OOC:
@Zepharo: Yes, I have edited my post to include 50. How would you like to deal with your strain?

"I don't think reacting violently is a good idea," Alyx tells Ian, glancing nervously at the other students to gauge their reactions. Meeting the dark side with more darkness can't defeat it, surely . . .

She closes her eyes, and tries to ask the Force for help in healing this wound within it.
OOC:
No idea what to roll for this...

OOC:
@Alyx: I don't think I need a roll.
You try to meditate in order to gain some clarity but it simply doesn't work. Not in a place like this. It is too seeped in dark energy.

OOC:
Assuming you mean the Threat, how about...
As Zepharo skirts the wall, his eyes primarily on the obelisk, he kicks a loose stone, it shutters across the ground creating a rattling noise loud enough to alert anything living nearby...

OOC:
@Emsquared: Yeah, I love it.
The sound echoes throughout the stadium, and you all wince and look towards Zapharo.

OOC:
Oh and about the darkenss, I assume some of you have brought glowrods or some kind of light source. Otherwise you would be in pitch black darkness right now.
Apr 2, 2019 5:47 am
OOC:
Evelynn has no glowrod, not really needing it, but I assume the others have some sort of illumination.
As she leads the way into the large stadium-like cavern, Evelynn recoils as the massive surge of fear, rage, and death wash over her. Even without opening her senses, she can feel the dark side presence in the room. As Zepharo skirts the edge, and Ian unlimbers the rifles he carries, Evelynn takes a step forward, towards the obelisk she can feel in the center of the room. As she does, she attempts to reach down into herself, to call forth the light side of the Force and tries to project it outward, a counter to the darkness she feels clinging to the chamber.
OOC:
I was thinking to maybe make a Discipline check, with or without a Force die maybe, to try and draw on the lightside. Help to bring balance to what she thinks could be a Force Nexus, if she knows what the is. She is intentionally not drawing a weapon as she moves, also.

Rolls

Discipline check, no Force die.

4 Success, 1 Advantage

OOC:
Got it. You can certainly make a discipline check. What do you expect to receive from a success?
Apr 2, 2019 9:01 am
OOC:
Honestly, I'm not sure. Evelynn just senses a lot of dark side presence here and wants to fix it. She isn't sure what's up with the obelisk, but before getting anywhere near it, she'd rather try and swing the balance towards the lightside. What would be my difficulty, and should I add my force die?

OOC:
That's what Alyx was trying to do as well. Are there rules for assistance or working together?
Apr 2, 2019 1:46 pm
OOC:
Yeah, this is exactly what Alyx was trying to do. I will try to explain out of character every time. Sorry! I'm really new to message board roleplay that actually rolls dice lol

You pick the biggest stats and add them togethr.
Like if A has 4 Int/1 Mechanics and B has 3 Int/3 Mechanics, they make one roll of 4 Int/3 Mechanics. And the guy with 2 Int/1Mechanics can add a Boost die to the roll.
