Adjusting his stance just enough to display his own blaster, Ken leans forward, his tone becoming more menacing. 'Yatuka slimo!'
[ +- ] Huttese
Unfortunately, with Ken's slim frame and ill-fitting garb, shifting his hips makes him look more like a dancer or an effete actor than an enforcer and does nothing to emphasise his threats. The presence of his well armed companions is probably more convincing.
OOC:
I think Ken's going for Coercion despite being pants at it. I'm going to guess at a 2P difficulty and claim a possible Blue as bonus from the rest of the crew looking more intimidating than Ken

Once inside, AD-hoc hopes to complete their job, and help Ken. "Hello?! Is A'kog here? Is anyone here? We need your guards to stand down, and have a message to deliver."
Feb 24, 2022 12:16 pm
As AD-hoc approaches the ship, he see's signs of motion through the transparisteel viewports.

The rest of the group sees Ken, very ineffectually, look tough to the two guards as he strikes a pose most likely to get him beaten or laughed at...

As Foess sees AD-hoc slipping past the Rodians, he approaches Ken and the guards, to try and keep them occupied, or perhaps make it inside as well if at all possible.

Well, hi there! I am glad to see you guys! There are some unsavoury Lothans skulking around behind that warehouse, he says and points behind him. They were up to no good if you ask me, eyeing this place and packing some heavy weapons!
OOC:
No idea if Underworld applies, or how difficult this might be, so add to the roll as needed!

The two Rodian's glace a Xelforp, obviously a little confused. They step back from the two of you and confer for a few hushed seconds. Then one of them heads off around the wall of the docking port and the other looks back at Ken.

'Yatuka slimo!'
OOC:
@Xelforp, Triumphs count as a success that the dice roller doesn't pick up and they are a good way to swing the story in your favor. :)
AD-Hoc is waiting near the ramp when a Rodian appears at the top and starts walking down.

I think that Triumph error has been fixed.

OOC:
@crazybirdman - good catch, it does add up right now. :)

Initially Ken thinks he's scared off the Rodians and he's feeling pretty pleased with himself, shifting his hip tilt to the other side and placing his hands on his hips. That's right, don't mess with Keno Tetsu.

He rapidly deflates when the remaining guard tells him to get lost. He looks at Foess with his bulbous eyes, nictitating membranes flicking across them intermittently in a manner that anyone familiar with Rodian expressions would identify as questioning.
Mar 3, 2022 12:26 pm
Ahh, that is so much better! Foess winks at Ken and walks past the Rodian guard, draws his blaster and stuns the guard from behind.
OOC:
Is there a roll needed here?

OOC:
rofl
Yes, you'll need to roll Cool, and then Ranged Light. Everyone else roll Vigilance and we'll get this party started.
Mar 3, 2022 1:21 pm
As soon as Foess fires, Ken's blaster is in his hand, ready to finish the job.
OOC:
Ken will spend 1 strain on Rapid Reaction to add a success to his Vigilance roll - he'll also Quick Draw his blaster and use an incidental to switch to stun - so 2 success on initiative

Foess walks up behind the unsuspecting Rodian and Zaps him. The blue flash of the stun setting strikes him squarely. He shakes for a second, but it clearly not out of the fight.
OOC:
ok, so it's AD-hoc, Ken and then, if required, the Rodian.

does this Rodian look like they're about to join the fight?

OOC:
He hasn't had a chance to act (ie. it's not his turn yet) but he is dressed similarly to the others that were by the front gate.

AD-hoc decides that the fewer hostiles they have to deal with the better. He says to the Rodian on the ramp; "Please remain where you are." then aims and fires his goo-gun.
OOC:
is it possible to use the advantage to say the goo slows down any reinforcements?

Within a few milliseconds of the blue flash from Foess's blaster, Ken pulls his trigger, intending to finish the job. 'Mi settah yatuka slimo.'

So I think this is Short range so that 1P. He'll Aim for 1 Blue and

8 Strain damage (minus Soak) from the heavy blaster. I'll use the Advantage to regain a Strain

Ken's blast strikes the Rodian squarely, he stumbles back but he's not completely out of it.

Drawing his blaster he pips off a shot an Ken. That's a solid hit and 9 damage (before soak).

AD-hoc fires a glob of goo up the ramp causing the Rodian to stop in mild surprise... Then, hearing the shot at the gate draws and fires. He misses.
OOC:
@crazybirdman - rules say you need 2 advantages to spend on doing something to the opponents. You can add a Blue Boost die to your next roll.

'Schutta!' curses Ken, the blaster fire striking him squarely in the chest. He staggers back, even with his new armoured clothing that hurt. He looks down at the blackened plastoid plate, melted and deformed.
OOC:
I'm going to roll an extra Black die for Ken's Defence 1, see if he can push down the damage a little.
