Okay, Taryn wants to distract the creature, draw it away from Evelynn and Alyx, probably by making a lot of noise and shooting at it, quantity over accuracy.What do I use and what is my difficulty? Deception versus its Disciple? Ranged-Heavy? Survival even?
The aim is not dealing damage, just getting it away from Evellyn.

To distract a predator from delivering a killing blow? That's gonna be a difficult roll. You can make the roll at difficulty 4 and add a setback die due to its bloodlust.Apr 7, 2019 5:33 am

Ouch.Okay, if somebody could act before me and give me some boosts from advantages, that would be great.

Evelynn reels, hitting the floor as the beast's claws rake across her and she cries out in pain. A burst of fear, anger, and hatred surge through her. But she remembers her Master's teachings, that those emotions lead towards darkness, and staggers to her feet. As she does, she pulls a stimpack from one of her belt pouches and injects herself. Almost immediately she feels the pain of the wound she received begin to recede. She can still feel it, the wound isn't gone, but the stimpack has helped.
Turning back to face the beast, her blade still held defiantly in her hand she calls out, "I will not embrace the darkness, not for you, not for this. My family is with me, and we defy you." On her last word she moves, using Alyx's guarded position nearby her to help disguise her incoming attack against the creature. Her strikes, however, seem unable to pierce through the thick hide of the beast. The movements, though ones she is used to performing, leave her wincing slightly as the barely recovered wound sends lances of pain through her.

Between Alyx's Heal, assuming it works, and the stim, Evelynn is fully healed, for the record. I'm going to roll a lightsaber attack, not sure if I can get a boost or not, but I'll not add one, if it matters you can add one later. I'll take that Threat as strain.Last edited April 7, 2019 6:48 am

Okay...Initiative order is PC, PC, PC, PC, NPC, PC. And Ian pretty much has to go first because there's people waiting to see what happens with his action.
So I'd say it's, in order, Ian, Zeph who may or may not give Taryna boost, Taryn, Alyx, the beast, and Evellyn.
So I'll already make my post and then maybe edit in some boosts after Zeph has gone...
His first instinct is to get the thing away from his friend. It seems to largely ignore the pain of blaster fire. Maybe it'll find stun bolts less to its liking. He doesn't need to damage it, just annoy it enough to draw it away.
He lets fly a barrage of inaccurate shots that seems to bounce off its hide harmleslly. He blows loudly on his fingers, which reverberates though the arena, and screams at the thing.
Taryn grins as the creature turns towards him. His smiles slips as it starts to lumber towards him... 'Didn't think this through, did you?' he thinks to himself as he backs away.
[taking 1 strain from the threat, and spend a maneuver to move to medium range - should require three maneuvers to get from medium to engaged range, unles I'm mistaken.]

Did round 3 start yet? And Arina posted that Ian's blaster fire apparently did nothing. On a completely unrelated note . . . can you sabotage blaster rifles to explode?Apr 7, 2019 4:52 pm

Zepharo roars as Evelyn takes the heavy wound, not knowing what else to do, he pulls the blaster rifle in tighter and continues to fire, hoping that if he can continue damaging it, it might shift it's attention onto him.
Could I make a Xenology check at the same time to know something about the thing? A weakness, it's origin, whatever? I'll just roll my side of it, if there's nothing to know, ignore if course.
I'll use those Advantage to Crit. 10 damage base.

You don't know much about the origins of the creature itself. It is clearly not sentient, possibly genetically modified but its hard to tell. What you do know is that your weapons are woefully inadequate to deal with this kind of threat. You predict that this fight is going to go very poorly for you, unless someone does something...

A critical isn't an effect of amount of damage done. It's a function of the weapon. Weapons have "crit rating" which indicates how many Advantage you need to use to trigger a critical hit. I'm guessing, in this case, it's Crit is 3. Meaning that Zeph can spend those 3 Advantage to do a crit, which is what the d100 roll was.Apr 8, 2019 6:46 am

You need to do actual damage to trigger a critical, so I'm assuming it has got 11 soak.Apr 8, 2019 10:53 am
OOC:
Huh, I don't recall reading that you have to wound to crit, only successfully hit. When I get home I'll check my books, because most of the crits could apply to an attack even if it fails to get through soak. Except maybe death, obviously, and most things in the 100+ range also probably... Regardless, let's press on, we have a beast to best.Apr 8, 2019 2:28 pm
OOC:
You do have to net damage too to Crit.In that case I'll spend my Advantage to recover Strain and pass a Boost to next Allies check.

You all watch as Alyx rushes to Evelynn's side, she places herself between the towering mass of muscles and death and does the unthinkable. She turns her back to the creature. As the creature strikes towards her unprotected back a feeling of serenity washes over her and she calmly places her hand on Evelynn's ruined body, the warm feeling of serenity flows into Evelynn and she whispers a single word heal.
In amazement you see that Evelynn's body manages to knit the wound back together and in a moment health returns to her body.
Time slows as the monster strikes for Alyx and split seconds before it hits the behemoth lets out a loud roar as a fullisade of blaster shots targeting its head and eyes distract the creature. It turns its attention to Taryn and bellows a challenge.
Then it charges at him and stabs him with its needle sharp tips of its crab like claws.Taryn looks very rough and almost collapses to the floor of the arena.
The voice rings out again
YEEEEES THE BLOOD! THE LIFE! YOUR FRIEND IS GOING TO DIE. TAKE MY POWER, SAVE YOUR FRIEND!
Round 3! Fight!
