You each feel your twilek companion draw on the Force, but nothing manifests yet, as she fights through fear...
Looking at her companions with great uncertainty, she too takes a guarded stance.

@Rean411 your turn! Anything you want to do before the imminent violence? [/ooc]
As he says this Ly-Riik centres himself in the force and focuses. He starts seeing his opponents thinking about different strikes they can do allowing him to prepare before they do so. Hesitantly he draws his weapon and holds it ready to defend.

Mechanically he is entering a guarded stance and committing his force dice to the control node of sense that upgrades the enemies attacks against him.Jan 17, 2023 4:15 pm
One acolyte still struggles to dislodge themself from the collapse.
The other rushes to join his allies, straining himself to close from the great distance away to engage with Lyriik!
The attacking two acolytes begin their assault with a grim determination that you guys haven't quite seen from them in your sparring before...
Since the attackers are already engaged with Davit and Hirani, both will Aim with their Maneuvers, and Attack with their Actions.
Davit, looks like you have a +1Melee Defense from your sword and a +1 from Guarded stance. Anything else I'm missing? Hirani has the robes that increase Defense so she has 1 additional Defense die...
And I want to remind you guys, as a Group you have all 3 Destiny at your disposal...The last trapped acolyte finally manages to free themself!
And the attacks of your rivals are successful to varying degrees! They are new to their training like you all are. But particularly Hirani's attacker begins to overwhelm her almost immediately! Pressing an attack that she just is not ready for!
5 Wounds to Davit (apply your Soak and record the net damage), and Hirani.
Plus Hirani is Staggered for her next turn!

Ok so the escaped Acolyte beginning at Long must use Maneuver, Action, +additional Maneuver - taking 2 Strain to close with Lyriik, but cannot attack this round (note: because his Allies are attacking tho, he may be attacked without Conflict).Since the attackers are already engaged with Davit and Hirani, both will Aim with their Maneuvers, and Attack with their Actions.

Ok, so, for your attacks...You don't have to attack the people who are attacking you, ofc, you're mostly all within Engaged range of each other... but I'll just refer to them by who THEY are attacking for simplicity sake:
Davit's Acolyte has Force Sense Control 1 upgrade up and their Ancient Sword. So RPK to melee attack, plus whatever else you (or he, depending on how Davit spends the Threat) might have going on...
Hirani's Acolyte is the same - RPK melee Difficulty, base.
Lyriik's Acolyte rushed right into the fight and so is just PPK, at the moment.
Last Acolyte is at Long Range.
Don't forget that those of you who used Guarded Stance must add an additional Setback to your attacks...
And don't forget Destiny if you want to use it!
Ok... think that's everything... 😅
Go, gang!

Hirani cannot take an Action due to Stagger Condition, and so will take Guarded Stance, and use an extra Maneuver to Aim.emsquared sent a note to emsquared

You do, yes. The Ancient Sword you received by default uses the Lightsaber Skill.It is an ancient version of the swords the Je'daii used, before Lightsabers existed. They are in theory infused with Ilium crystals.

Ly-Riik is going to spend 1 maneuver aiming to add a boost die to his attack and then he is going to attack the acolyte who attacked halani. I’m also going to flip 1 of our lightside tokens to upgrade my attack So rolling that will be 1Y 1G 1B 1 black and 1R 1pEdit: ok so Ly-Riik has never been much of a fighter in his life. Outside of occasional hunting for food he doesn’t like using weapons much so I think what’s happened is he struggled to commit to the blow causing it to come up short. But the fact that Ly-Riik is the first to strike other than the other acolytes is somewhat off putting and that little bit of nervousness will open up an unguarded spot so that the next person to go has a boost die. To finish his turn ly-Riik will take 2 strain to spend a 2nd maneuver to re-enable guarded stance.
(The music has been swelling towards triumphant horns for a moment but now a brief record scratch occurs as the acolytes just for a split second stare at Ly-Riik, then the action resumes.)

It was stated earlier (it's your turn, please go), and also if you have a rule book, the initiative rules are described there.But in this system, you can use the initiative slot of ANY allied character. There is no set turn order on a "team". And because I rolled only one initiative slot for the Enemy, and just do all their turns at once to make it easy for myself, there is basically a "Bad guy turn" on which I do all the bad guys, and that leaves a "Good guy turn" on which ALL good guys should go.
So please go.
@Pedrop if you're still around, please go as well.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I understand the Genesys initiative system, I just didn't realize you were moving all the enemies as one. (Minions?) Also, lately, as I'm involved in a number of PbP games right now, I've set aside Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to check in on them.Last edited January 24, 2023 8:40 pm

OOC:
Sorry was busy again recently.Thats looks about right: 2 defense in that moment.
3 Threat to spend - how should I use it? Narratively or there is a table for it like for Advantage?? I see that there is a table of Threat so I will use it to make the adversary fall prone - by spending 3 treat. Will RP, after reading the rest of the posts.
Damage/wounds noted - left with 2.
We are in next turn, yes? So again 1 Maneuver + 1 Action?
It was not obvious what did RPK meant - Red Purple blacK ? Why not RPB?
And overall is was not so easy to figure out what to roll for my attack I must say.
I will be using
[ +- ] Shien Technique* 1
When making a check using the Lightsaber skill, the character may use Cunning instead of Brawn.
I want to attack Ly-Riik acolyte after, "mine" has fallen to the ground after spending his 3 threat.
So I presume it will be:
YGG (Cunning + Lightsaber) +
+ 1 Boost because I will carefully aim this blow this time
+ 1 Setback for my Guard stance, against his PPB ??
I hope so, thats what I'm going to roll.
"Hey... but who will take care about "your guy" " - Davit spitted fast words from his mouth. "I guess it have to be me..." and by this
Davit aimed a cunning blow to the acolyte that was left alone after Ly-Riik rescue departure. Leaving "his guy" on the ground.

You also actually have a Boost from Lyriik's Advantage. I'll roll it here for you to keep things moving...Also, I use K for Black/Setback because I use B for Blue/Boost.

Lyriik and his Acolyte are closest to Tobin.I'll roll a Setback (from the Acolytes Melee Defense) and a Boost (from Davit, now - Davit I'm just going to spend your Advantage from your missed Boost) for you.
I know it seems like there's a lot to keep track of, and there is, but it does get easier the more you play. I just think that me only being able to push a slow pace to this game makes it even harder.

Hirani, staggered, is taking a defensive stance...
Davit and Tobin jump to Lyriik's aid, as the Cerean jumps to Hirani's aid, and the melee has truly begun, as blood spatters both shining blades and umber soil all around...
Xaos prowls along the edge of the surrounding trenches watching the fight begin, "Yes! Earn your glory! Through victory your chains will be broken!", he shrieks, reciting a part of the Sith Creed.Undaunted though, the Acolytes attack back!

Ok, Davit, you are no longer on a Guarded Stance, so just 1 Defense die for you, but your attached is knocked down so they must use their Maneuver to stand and so cannot Aim.Hirani's attacker has the same attack pool as last round, his Aim, her Guarded.
Lyriik's Acolyte must use his Maneuver to pick up his blade, and so cannot Aim and Lyriik has Guarded Stance.
Tobin's attacker will close from Long to Engaged with him - using Action, Maneuver, plus additional Manuever (taking 2 Strain). But cannot attack this round.
EDIT: Their attacks all miss!
Davit and Hirani with 1 Threat each, to spend on them.
Hirani will Strain her Acolyte with it.
