EDIT: Derp. I have had it pointed out to me (thanks Rean!) that those narrative symbols DO infact cancel out. Ignore me, and my rusty bones getting back on the bike here!Wonder why the dice roller didn't cancel them out? I think it's supposed to...
It is even more strange, as I checked how the dice roller works in Tools > Dice - and there it makes Total section, with result canceled out. Interesting:)

Ok, no more thinking. It's time to act!

OOC:
Hey, sorry, I'm back!Yes, I still need a check from @Vespin
But let's move on.
The check is/was essentially a Fear check, as per Fear in F&D.
Lyriik takes 1 Strain.
Davit will have an automatic Setback for the remainder of the Encounter, or until something happens that can turn it around (a Triumph, a significant personal victory, flip a Destiny, etc).
A nearby Master prowling around the rim of the pit peers down at the four of you, questioningly.

Oh wow, I totally missed the check thing. Sorry about that. And welcome back!DM Edit: adding Difficulty die.

Sighing deeply Ly-Riik will look to the others and say I guess it is our turn. Then looking to make sure they are ready, he will drop down into the ring.

OOC:
Tobin takes 1 Strain, from the fear induced by the war cry.And please let me know if you guys are feeling a bit of analysis paralysis, or what - I could lay out some specific options, but again I 'd really like for you guys to be proactive here in telling me how you're approaching the challenge.
An ongoing failure to act will have in game consequences.

"Our brains didn't helped here, time for our muscles - let's go! I will go first with Hirani, but I ask you two to come just after us staying in some distance - so they would think that we are only two - me and Hirani - an easy pray - when they attack you join and it is we who have an advantage... I hope..." - and by saying that Davit runs pass Ly-Riik into the pit. Hoping that others will join.
David runs to the next corner, looks around the corner of the wall and checks if Hirani is with him.
If she is: "Come - your shadows will have to help us in those shadowy tunnels." - not waiting for any answer, hoping she will fallow, he go further into the pit's tunnels.
Are there any crossroads? Is this like some kind of labyrinth? How does it look from the inside? Every path is the same? Or are there any differences? If yes, Davit will try to get to the center of it, but when in doubt he will keep to the left wall of labyrinth tunel.

OOC:
I think we all have to get back to the story, as I didn't remebere/see that where our PCs are - had to refresh that. So some description where we are, how big the tunnels are would be useful. Can be very general map, or more descriptions. Before entering pit were there any significant places visible in the pit? Like some... I don't know... sculpture that goes above tunnels level?Dec 2, 2022 3:18 pm
Tobin thinks Davit's plan is as good as any, and follows the instructions. Besides, he's still shaking off the blast of fear and hasn't entirely gathered himself.

If I’m correct that would be a force power check? Would it be multiple to do it every few meters? About once every short range band?Rolls

Yeah, I'm not claiming it was anything very smart or something like that... but wanted to move action further somehow :)Dec 5, 2022 6:54 pm

Sorry gang, I was on-call for my job this weekend, and then have had a busy beginning to the week.Pedrop says:

I'll re-post the first two descriptions I provided, I know these things can be easy to lose sight of over the stretched out time period of PbP.First description from Nov. 2:
OOC:
Second description from Nov. 13:And it's characterized by a network of trenches punctuated periodically by larger, more-open clearings, where the clearings have small ruined buildings and statues and pillars and things cluttering them.
OOC:
Regarding your questions:1. how big the tunnels are - not big enough for two ppl to stand abreast of each other
2. significant places - the clearings, which are scattered amongst the trenches, packed with statues and pillars and small ruined stone buildings are the most significant places
3. sculpture that goes above tunnels level - no, everything is "below-grade", lower than the prevailing ground level in the surrounding area, where all the Masters and other Acolytes are standing and watching from above.
Seems like at this point a map might help, so I'll put something together tonight.
RE: Davit and Hirani sneaking ahead, give me a Stealth check! I'll roll Hirani's FPC, as you guys could get a Destiny out of it!
Flipping a Destiny. Hirani gives you two Boosts to your Stealth check. Difficulty is PPP.
Lyriik immediately senses the life forces of his comrades, but no one else for the time being...
OOC:
Rean, you will not have to roll any subsequent Force Power checks, to keep your Sense Power "up". But that Fierce die is now "committed" and cannot be used in any other way, until you drop the Power.Also, please note while the Power allows you to sense the presence of other life, if it's on the other side of a wall for example, you will be required to make Skill checks to either pinpoint it's location and/or differentiate, say, your allies from enemies.

Ok thanks. It’s an incidental to drop a committed die or a maneuver/action?Dec 8, 2022 9:39 pm

Incidental @Rean411 This is not meant to be an exact map, nor is it drawn to any scale. It is just a general visual reference to help you understand the "battlefield", on a level more than words can provide.
You guys start(ed) at the star.

Pedrop, I think we need your Stealth check. +2 Boosts from Hirani. Difficulty PPPDec 9, 2022 4:25 pm
Tobin enters the maze and prepares himself, weapon in hand. He doesn't reach out with the Force, still being shaken, but his natural senses become as acute as possible.
