Heirs to the Legacy [Force and Destiny] OOC

By awayputurwpn, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

So you next then Otter or will I go?

The turn is mostly good. Technically what happened is that you caused 10 damage to your engaged trooper, he remained standing, and some of the next 9 damage took him down (and the rest carried over, since it's a minion group). One trooper down total, and the other three are still standing.

Next PC please!


I still moved to engage though

Yes, that's all good. The narration is fine; it's just the mechanics were a little wonky (since you can't move in the middle of an action). Attacking and then moving is kosher, and the minion group did indeed take the full damage.

Yes, this minion rules act a little weird if you're melee and the group is spread all over the place. Turns you effectively into Quicksilver :P

Tahiri's turn is over...you can go! He is now engaged with the last three troopers on the ground, which means any ranged attacks targeting them will have their Difficulty upgraded once. The troopers on the roof have Ranged Defense 1. The Dark Knight on the ground is engaged with Kell still, and there is one up on the roof just minding his own business...

Indeed. That's why I try not to worry about the simulation of such things; I feel like the game mechanics are a bit more of an abstraction, especially on the "application" end of things. Kinda like, "this is what happens mechanically...find a way to make it work narratively."

How many PC turns are left? Dev'rios has just been healed, so he should be good to go in the fight soon. Just tell me when I am allowed to take Dev'rios's turn. Thanks!

One more PC turn then some npc's are up.

I think I'll let Dev go first on account of his needing to wreck things up in CC. Three wounds I may well have, but I don't think I'm a focus of attention right now.

Sounds great. Maverikid, do you have everything you need?

I think I have everything, I just need a link to the dice roller and then I can post Dev's turn. Jereru, what do you think Dev should do? He may have been healed, but he has taken too much strain to be able to Parry any incoming attacks from the Dark Knights during the upcoming NPC rounds. He could take out his pistol and try to shoot the droids, but I'm not sure that will do much. About the narration, is it night out right now? Just wanted to know since I had an idea in mind. I was also wondering if there are any droids near Dev and what distance they are from him. Thanks!

Edit: Oops, turns out he can parry at least once.

Just roll a bunch of damage and advantages so you can kill everything and recover strain.

There is still daylight, light enough so that you could see inside the structure of the old tavern without any artificial light being employed.

Dice roller is at http://orokos.com/roll/

I would encourage you to play to your strengths. You are still outnumbered, and there's a dropship above that might well be armed.

Cool, I'll be posting the turn, just gotta get this dice roller to work (That was a joke, I'm not actually having trouble with the dice roller.). I think I'm going to get Dev to attack the droid that Kell is after.

Are there any other Dark Knights? I'd prefer to have Dev'rios go after a free Dark Knight.

On top of the roof. The third DK is destroyed, thankfully. They parry, so they can withstand a shitload of damage.

Good post Maverikid. Away how tall is the building they're standing on (the DK and troopers)?

Thanks, BigSpoon! Actually, I just thought of something that I should have thought of earlier. I think we could reach the roof from any stairs inside the building, but it would take at least two turns. I would also recommend that after Tahiri is done with the troopers on the ground, he should heal up for a second and then join Kell on the roof, that way the two who are most proficient with Reflect can take out the troops and the droid. Dev'rios and Lavin can probably take out the droid on the ground. I don't know what Marsten or H4L want to do. Maybe Marsten and H4L could assist Kell and Tahiri as they fight on the roof.

I'm not sure what we're going to do about that dropship. I think Kell and Tahiri should try boarding the ship after fighting the enemies on the roof. I know that is a lot for Kell and Tahiri to do, so maybe they could be assisted by someone else in the group. Maybe after taking out the droid on the ground, Dev'rios and Lavin could jump onto the airship. But these are just ideas.

The top of the building is short range from your characters. There is a ledge about midway that could allow for someone to climb with relative ease. It's an Average Athletics check to climb, with 2 Setbacks: 1 for the fact that it's not designed to be climbed, 1 for all the blaster fire. I would also upgrade the difficulty of such a check with a Destiny Point.

I'll check back in this evening.

I'm going to assume Hawk Bat Swoop is not approved for vertical use.

I don't think it's limited in that way. Just upgrade your Difficulty once for the Destiny Point, and include one Setback for the unstable nature of the aperture you'd be using.

And just to be clear, the stormtroopers above are at medium range, while the Dark Knight is at short range.

So he can only reach the DK, IIRC... But that would be enough to end up up there and engage the troopers later on (if he's alive), right?

That's what it sounds like to me. Still working on my character, just wanted the others to know. He's going to be a Warrior career, and his name is Gael.

Here's the link to the Character Sheet: http://swsheets.com/c/caxttdq2h-gale-halon

Only the Backstory is done so far, but by the beginning of next week it should be done. By the way, I'm a Mac user, so can someone explain how they leave the links below all their posts? I probably look like a noob right now...

It's the signature, you can manage it in your forum profile.

Still one of us to act, then NPC, then one of us, then NPC, IIRC. Since Dev'rios was goint to be the next, we're just waiting for him.

Go get'em, Dev'rios!

Dev'rios already went, Maverikid posted for him. I believe H4L is the only PC left to go yet this round, so it'll be NPC H4L and then NPC then top of the round?

Ah, sorry. How come I didn't get a notification that someone posted on the thread?

Edit: I did, and I actually Liked the post... What's wrong with me? :P
