That is what it sounded like people wanted to do: distract/scare the Flesh Raiders so as to slip past them unseen.

I think the question now is, what are we waiting on?

I suppose someone to take the initiative. We've got a lot of voices throwing out suggestions and I think people are a little hesitant to just make a move.

I was tossing out suggestions. I'll follow along with what the group decides on. I do think a distraction would be helpful....

Maya and Kovin have pooled their Force acumen to outline the best course ahead. Now we just need the catalyst! I believe that's Xan's power check combined with Firan's Formidable Ranged (Heavy) check with 2 setbacks.

I'll add two boost dice to any roll thanks to the Togruta ability

Reminder: this takes effect only in structured play (e.g. combat), specifically performing the assist maneuver .

It is different from other abilities, notably the Drall's, which only affects Skilled Assistance, which means assistance lent outside of structured play and utilizing the Drall's higher skill rank or characteristic.

It's a balance thing.

So we gonna shoot some rocks?

You've got 4 automatic successes coming your way. It's a Formidable (5 difficulty dice) Ranged [Heavy] check with 2 setbacks. Just depends on how lucky you're feeling It sounds like Seifer and Jonas are intent on preparing for trouble, which is totally cool. Your call if you wanna wait for Xan to do his Move-thing or not.

(Either way, I'll be spending a Destiny Point to upgrade the difficulty of the check. So that's 1 Challenge die, 4 Difficulty dice, and 2 Setbacks)

To whoever's rolling the dice, May the Force be with you

So I just roll my Force die, then, plus all those challenge, setback and difficulty dice, plus four automatic successes? Those count as Light side pips, then?

Or is it a Discipline check, like last time?

EDIT: I think you were referring to Firan's ranged check only, so I just need a Force die roll, correct?

Yes, just the Move power check. No Discipline required.

Okay. Moment of truth!

(BTW I added incorrectly at my last count...a Formidable check is 5 dice, not 4. I gave you the correct difficulty one page back!) Firan is now set up to make that Formidable Ranged combat check (in place of a Stealth check) to distract the Flesh Raiders. So that's a total of 1 challenge die, 4 difficulty dice, and 2 setbacks. Firan can suffer 2 strain to remove one setback die.

Thanks everyone! Now just looking for some narrative posts from Kovin, Firan, and Seifer. Bring us safely through the ravine, guys!

When you said, "The Jedi in the group" recognizes it as a Holocron, did you mean me?

Yes: You, Jonas, and Seifer.

Yes: You, Jonas, and Seifer.

Mea Culpa. I misinterpreted that. Ah well. Moving on...

I think I will use this thread for the Morality rolls and the XP spending. You know, the level up stuff.

Unless I am mistaken, I got 1 point of Conflict due to the Dark Side point I rolled, right? So, here goes...

Morality : 1d10-1 9

Not bad. I changed it in both the SWSheets and Dramatis Personae profiles, by the way.

Still trying to decide what I should spend the XP on. Between Talents, Force Powers and Skills it is not a particularly easy decision mind you.

I'm not sure how to spend my xp. I think dropping it all on the talent that gives me a psychic link with Zelt is kind of stupid. Can I ask, oh great GM, what the rate of xp gain will be? Is this a three-act adventure or is it longer than that?

10 XP went to a rank in Deception, and 10 went to the Range upgrade for Bind.

When we are nearing the end of the three month commitment, I'll ask for renewals from you guys, so that we can keep playing if you want to. The game could, in theory, go for as long as any of us wanted.

I'll be giving out 20 XP on a regular basis, at a rate that is approximately "whenever I feel like it" basically, when it feels like a solid session of play, we'll call it and do the whole XP, Morality, and Destiny Point thing.

Which reminds me, make sure and drop your strain to zero, everyone.

You can have my renewal. This is fun. Not only that but I am in for the long haul.

Also, btw, Duty increases are being held until those with Duty scores can get a report back to the Resistance. But you can expect to see a sizable increase, as long as you stay true to your Duty.

I'm in for a while, or at least until the weight of PbP games becomes too much and I have to bow out. So NEVER!!!!

Morality roll : 1d10 8

I gain 7 Morality, which is good. I spent my xp on a Control upgrade for Sense and a rank each in Resilience and Skulduggery
