Oh. Well, I don't think that was effectively communicated in-character, for instance why did Ian move next to the thing he wanted me to explode if he wanted me to explode it?Anyway, at this point, I think it's blowing up the beast?

Ian, you spend your turn scanning the obelisk but all you receive is:
Material: unknown
Age: Unknown
Species: Unknown sentient
Zapharo runs his dexterous fingers along the controls of this blaster rifle, increasing the power and disabling the safety features. Before the failsafe can activate he slams his knife into the electronic controls and electricity begins to crackle along the barrel. Then he chucks the improvised bomb at the behemoth and it explodes, knocking all of you to the ground.The behemoth screams in pain, and you see a massive chunk of its shell and one of its claw arms is blown clean off of it. Gushes of arterial blood spray out in all directions.
I would like everyone at short or engaged range to make an agility check every round.
Engaged = Difficulty 3
Short = Difficulty 2
Success means you manage to dodge the blood, failure means you take 2 damage, regardless of your soak value.
You will need to repeat this roll every round that you stay in the given range.
@Emsquared: Thanks for the threat.Alyx flashes her training sabre in front of the creature's face taunting it and then she takes a guarded stance.
Taryn, moves away from the creature to medium range.Evelynn tries to summon the force to gain some kind of insight as to how to deal with this challenge in a non-violent manner, but she doesn't feel it respond to her call.
You all get back to your feet and the beast launches an attack against Alyx but she dodges out of the way. Unfortunately, she trips on a stone as she does so, falling prone.Round 4! Fight!

For my first three threats., I would like Evelynn, Alex and Zapharos to make agility check difficulty 2. On a successful check you take no damage but on a fail you will take 5 points of damage piercing 3.OOC:
For my final two threat I am going to add an ongoing condition.I would like everyone at short or engaged range to make an agility check every round.
Engaged = Difficulty 3
Short = Difficulty 2

Please make one agility check as above.You all get back to your feet and the beast launches an attack against Alyx but she dodges out of the way. Unfortunately, she trips on a stone as she does so, falling prone.

OOC:
Just flat Agility, or Coordination (Agility) checks? And do I have to make two, one for the threat, then another for being in, I assume, engaged range?Apr 10, 2019 1:33 pm
OOC:
I'll allow co-ordination. For some reason I thought that was presence as in co-ordinating efforts.Yes, 2 checks this round.
In addition, now that the creature has a gaping whole in its carapace I am going to give you a couple of options.
1. Normal attack, but you can reduce the difficulty of the die by 1 purple die.
2: add two extra difficulty dice to target the weak spot and I will give you an additional 5 dmg should you hit.

If it's alright, I'd like to redescribe it. Alyx isn't the sort to dodge when she is told to stand there and defend someone.OOC:
She is going to recover and make another Guarded Stance. The blast deals 5 with piercing 3 so that's 2 damage then. Last edited April 10, 2019 1:49 pm

Ian's eyes go wide as Zepharo starts to swing the blast around before chucking it at the beast. "Wait, wait!" Gritting his teeth he calls out, "Bomb!" The explosion rips through the air, causing the human to cover his face with his arm. When it clears he sighs in relief to see everyone still standing, "Okay, Zeph . . . my bad but . . . killin' this thing is what this asshole -wants-. Generally speakin' y'don' wanna do what assholes want you ta do." He holds up his hands, "But good throw, man. That was'a good throw."
Breaking into a run he goes towards the rifle that Alyx had dropped earlier before moving to protect Taryn. Scooping it up he goes to snap a shot off at the creature!

Okay, reducing it by a Purple I guess leaves just a Red and a Black? Let me know. That is 13 damage and I will go ahead and take the 2 Threat as strain.Last edited April 10, 2019 2:08 pm

Yea, there's really no such thing as just a straight Characteristic check (no, "just test Agility), in this system. Should always be linked to a Skill too.Narrative pending rolls, but no matter what I will be aiming and shooting, and then moving out of Short.
As he stands straight again, he's already drawing down on the gapping wound in the thing with his blaster rifle and fires on it. Ultimately spinning away as he smells the acrid toxicity of the jetting blood...
OOC:
That's 17 base damage, with the weak spot bonus?Oof, for a total of ~22 so far? Is it taking continuing damage now (I hope), from the profuseness of the bleeding you're describing?
I'll pass a Boost with my Advantage.

Evelynn's back was turned towards the creature as she was attempting to investigate the obelisk and feel it with the Force. As a result, she was caught completely off-guard by the quick, savage attack from the beast and cried out as its claws raked across her back, scoring deep wounds and bringing her to her knees. Turning from the attack, she caught a glimpse of the weapon thrown by Zeph sailing through the air towards the behemoth and turned her forward fall into a roll, coming up ducking and braced against the upcoming explosion, letting most of it wash over the obelisk instead of herself.
Gritting her teeth against the pain, the Miraluka gets to her feet and retrieves her saber, though the weapon seems to be mostly useless against this behemoth's tough hide. Knowing that any attempt to find guidance from the Force will fail, Evelynn sighs as she ignites her blade and once more moves towards the creature, hoping that the weakened armor where the blast damaged the beast will give her the edge. Muscles straining, and knowing that she was likely causing whatever injury she had to worsen, she closed with the behemoth and after a few feinting flicks of her blade, struck home for the first time and felt the creature shudder as the weakened blade of the training saber struck home.

At this point I'm not sure if it'll help, but 6 points of stun damage to the behemoth.Last edited April 10, 2019 3:24 pm
