Tarast tries to focus on other things than the bright, distracting light show in front of them. His curiosity about the surroundings coupled with the notion that distractions like a shiny "gatekeeper" might have them in the middle of a trap about to be sprung kept the Kel Dor on alert.

Dao Jodh had asked an appropriate question. Let the trap-bait illusion answer. Then there might be more to do. For now, Tarast would be on his guard.

"My temple is currently occupied by a servant of the dark side of the Force. I wish this villain removed, before is corruption of this sacred valley becomes permanent. The question is whether you are the people for the job."

"That is sad news indeed," Tarast says. "If it's true, that means that our friend is in grave trouble."

"As to whether my companions and I are the people to help you,"
he adds looking about, "it seems we're the only ones here to help. If it's not us, then how long will you wait for others... in the hope that they are better?"

"But tell me, Keeper of the Gate, if we are working toward similar purpose, what dangers will we find on the way toward finding Hethan Romund and dealing with this Darkness you fear?"


Edit: add dice rolling...

I think my arrogance caused the Gatekeeper to get pissed off... I have never rolled that poorly
May 7, 2017 7:38 pm
Sending fools to their death would accomplish nothing.
OOC:
Anyone else want to try to gain the Gatekeeper's trust?

Dao steps in front of Tarast,

"Please excuse my friend's careless words. What I said was true, we *are* here to search for our friend. However, our friend is more than just a friend. She was a mentor to each of us, opening our eyes to the ways of the Force. What kind of pupils would we be if we did not strive to uphold the ideals Romund has only begun to show us? Please Gatekeeper, allow us to assist you in cleansing this valley. And perhaps, if you find us worthy, share your great wisdom with us?"
OOC:
Trying to schmooze him here with a Charm check. Is the difficulty increased at all?
OOC:
Yikes! Interesting roll...

OOC:
I'm going to fudge this one a bit because honestly your goals and his are one in the same, I think they just put that there to add a skill check.

Very well, I will help you. A group of hunters is now approaching your position, their minds have been clouded by the dark side. Even if you evade them now, they will hunt you until they find you. I will lead them to a ruin so you can set up an ambush. I would take it as a kindness if would not kill them as they are not themselves. Then the Gatekeeper is gone. You press through the snowy trees and across a bridge until you come upon the ruins he mentioned, hiding yourselves seconds before the first of the fur-clad hunters enters the ruin. He holds a old-style slugthrower rifle, and his face is daubed in blood. Soon, the entire group of hunters is in the center of the ruin, and it is time to strike...

OOC:
There are 4 hunters present they are looking for something in the center of the ruin because of the Gatekeeper has tricked the, You are each at medium range from the group and have cover. Since this is an ambush you can each act first.

With his weapon set to Stun in accord with the Gatekeeper's wish, Tarast aims carefully and fires, striking the hunter in the shoulder.
OOC:
Takes 2 Strain to perform 2nd Aim (STRAIN 10/12)

Hitting the target for 6 Stun Damage.

Wow! talk about lots of pain coming my way... what's up with these Difficulty Dice kickin' my ass

"YAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Pon, shouts leaping out from behind cover to rush the nearest hunter in a surprise attack and draw their attention away from Tarast. To follow the gate keeper's wishes, he refrains from using his lightsaber, choosing to engage in fisticuffs.
OOC:
I have been busy, so I have not done my homework, I am not sure what I am doing, and I hope I didn't do something stupid.

Watching his two new friends take to combat so easily has suddenly made Dao feel very uncomfortable. He has spent his whole life being taught the values of peace and wisdom and he finds himself quite unprepared for an ambush on unsuspecting people, even if they truly are overtaken by the Dark Side.

Not wanting to be a hindrance, but unable to actually strike another person from behind, Dao steels himself the best he can and walks up behind one of the hunters looking as imposing as possible with his walking stick held across his body in both hands.

"Hey, you there! You and your hunting party are not welcome in this valley. Leave now and... and there will be no trouble!"
OOC:
I'm going for a Coercion check to try and make this hunter leave peaceably. Heh, talk about a stupid move :)

Coercion

4 Success, 2 Advantage, 1 Failure, 1 Threat

Total: 3 Success, 1 Advantage

May 8, 2017 1:40 pm
OOC:
Tarast: yes the difficulty would be 2 and you can aim adding a boost die to your check. (You can suffer two strain to focus and take a second aim maneuver adding an additional boost die)
Pon: Since you were at medium range it will take two moves to enter the melee. You can do this but take two strain (for taking a second move maneuver) then attack 4 green die vs 2 purple.
Dao: You can attempt a Coercion check, fortunately for you the hunters are weak willed and easily manipulated. The difficulty is one purple die and a setback but you get two boost die. One from being Zabrak and the other for the surprise attack by charging Nautolan.

The hunter Dao startled turns to strike at him, however the combination of Dao's stern request and (probably more so) the sounds of his comrades in battle behind him causes the hunter to turn and run out of the ruins.

Speaking to himself, "Huh... Well that was easier than I thought! Why do people fight when teaching them the ways of peace seem so easy I wonder?" Satisfied with the outcome and brimming with confidence, Dao looks around for another hunter to show the error of their ways.
OOC:
No actual action here, just describing the results :)

I'd say you scared off two of them. So there are the two that Pon and Tarast are attacking left.
May 8, 2017 3:52 pm
OOC:
Let's see how I do, guess rushing armed hunters unarmed is less harebrained than attempting to scold them into submission.

Combat check

5 Advantage, 2 Threat

Total: 3 Advantage

OOC:
I got three advantage, fists do four damage. How would that play out? How much hp these guys have?
May 8, 2017 4:12 pm
OOC:
You did not have any successes so unfortunately you did not do damage. You have three advantage and you could do one of the following with:
1) Recover the 2 strain you took charging and aid next attacker on their roll (providing a boost die)
2) Recover 1 strain and either flee or add a setback to their attack roll
3) Take your target's slugthrower rifle (leaving him unarmed)
