[PbP] Heirs to the Legacy IC

By awayputurwpn, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

Attacking Kell: 3eP+1eA+3eD 1 failure, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph

The Dark Knight swung, and swung again, each time Kell easily deflecting its blows. Finally, the droid locked blades with the Jedi, and with an inhuman twist of its mechanical wrist, Kell's lightsaber went spinning out of his hand.


The heavily damaged Knight towered menacingly over the disarmed Jedi.


(Kell is disarmed, and the Dark Knight is recovering 1 strain with the Advantage)

Meanwhile, the droid inside the building got back on its feet. Its blade retracted into the now-damaged arm, and it rushed at Marsten, arms extended.

Marsten, completely unprepared, was caught up in the Dark Knight's constricting embrace, and struggled to free himself.

Grappling Marsten: 3eP+1eA+2eD 1 success, 3 advantage
p-s.pngp-a-a.pngp-s-a.pnga-s-a.pngd-th.pngd-f-f.png

fix: 1eD 0 successes, 1 threat

So only 2 Advantage generated. Marsten is immobilized (can perform no maneuvers) until the end of the dark knight's next turn.

New Round! First PC is up. Whenever Tahiri wants to go, attacking the stormtroopers will grant him an automatic Boost die.

Tahiri blocks the incoming blaster fire and immediately ignites his second lightsaber. He sends a volley of swings at the next troopers. Tahiri lashes a hard strike at the nearest Trooper dropping him to the ground. He carries his momentum into a second massive strike to the next trooper. The troopers drop to the ground in anguish.

1eA+2eP+1eB+3eD: 4 successes [1eA=S/A] [2eP=S, S/A] [1eB=S/A] [3eD=-, Th, Th/Th]

+1 advantage for Superior allowing both sabers to connect.

Tahiri deals 11 stun damage to the first trooper and 10 damage to the second trooper.

Edited by OtterJethro

Two troopers cried out in shock, and then crumpled to the ground, blue energy still arcing visibly over their armor as they convulsed.

(We did some last-minute corrections to Tahiri's weapons, since I overlooked a detail on his gear & equipment...his lightsabers are Paired, and he is leading with his Superior Lightsaber, giving him 1 Advantage, which is enough to activate a second hit and take down another trooper)

There are 11 more troopers left—4 on the roof (one engagement of 3, and a single trooper by himself), all behind cover; and 7 on the ground. One is engaged with Tahiri, and 6 more are within short range of him, 3 to each side.

Edited by awayputurwpn

The stormtroopers opened fire again at Tahiri, who was now wielding two lightsabers and attacking with ferocity. He batted away several bolts, but he was starting to tire.

Attacking Tahiri: 3eP+2eA+1eC+2eD+1eS 1 success, 1 advantage
p-s.pngp-s-s.pngp-a.pnga--.pnga-s.pngc--.pngd-f.pngd-f.pngs-f.png

Tahiri takes 10 damage, minus soak. Again, you may Parry (and I suggest you do!). Also, Tahiri gets a Boost die if he attacks the stormtroopers next round.

Next 4 PCs please...the order is thus:

Lavin once more connects his mind with Dev'rios'

Battle Meditation: 2eF 1 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

<Dev'rios, let's act together and finish him for good. Now!>
Lavin proceeds once again to help Dev.
Dev'rios feels the moment, takes a micro second to aim for a weak spot and...

...he hits! And this time for good!
-And don't get on your feet again, metal junk!
1 Advantage to give a Boost die to next PC
2 Advantages to deliver a Crit
2 Advantages to heal some Strain.
Currently Dev'rios is at 7/12 W, 7/15 S

Crit roll in a different post since it won't let me post 2 images:

Dev'rios crit roll: 1d100 44

The Dark Knight falls strepitously to the ground, having lost its balance due to Dev'rios's hard blow to the head. Lavin needs to take a step aside to avoid being squashed by the droid, which hits the ground heavily, forming a dust cloud. A loud metallic noise reverberates for a long moment, while Dev'rios and Lavin try to check if the pile of metal and circuits is still operative.

-These are gorram tough...

-Sure they are.

Edited by Jereru

The droid was knocked down, its operating lights flickering wildly as it struggled to stand to its feet. Dev'rios considered himself fortunate to have paired up with Lavin, despite the odd buzzing in the back of his head.

btw I have Dev'rios at 8 strain, accounting for the 2 just healed.

Next PC please!

Attack from Immobile: 2eP+1eA+2eS+1eC 4 successes, 3 threat (+2 Advatnages, so only 1 Threat)

p-s-a.pngp-s.pnga-s-s.pngs-th.pngs-th.pngc-th-th.png


Marsten managed to lay his hand upon a blaster as the Droid's arms pincered around his body, locking him down. With a gentle glide of his wrist, Marsten's blaster escaped the holster and made a soft 'tink' sound as the barrel came to rest on the Droid's frame.


"Do you blush?" Marsten sarcastically questioned the Droid, locking eyes with the optical ports and gritting his teeth in the face of the Droid as he started to pull the trigger until either the Droid let go or Marsten was unable to do so.


Status: -1 Strain (6/12), -1 Strain Threshold (12/13)

-1 Strain from Threat?

12 Damage, Pierce 1 (Possible Crit?)

Possible Crit: 1d100 81 (+10 Lethal Blows = 91)

(Roll added to save time, ignore if un-called for)

Edited by ApocalypseZero

The droid's armor ablated much of Marsten's gunfire.

Fix for Marsten's roll (engaged): 1eD 0 successes, 1 threat
d-th.png
I have 12 damage, yes? Don't forget the increased Difficulty for being engaged ;) Taking a free maneuver for two threat rolled...
Hauling Marsten with him, the Dark Knight began to exit the building, using the Gank as a "meat" shield as it appeared to communicate silently with the other dueling droids amidst the blaster fire from the squads of stormtroopers.
Next PC please!

Kell's lightsaber went spinning from his hand, his eyes widening in surprise. In barely a moment the tables had turned, he'd had the upper hand on the droid since the engagement started and then in a blink of an eye he was unarmed, vulnerable. "Sithspawn!" Kell muttered, taking a deep breath and backing away slowly, keeping his eyes glued to the vibroblade. Ducking under the droids next jerky swing, he rolled across the cracked pavement, scrambling on all fours towards his inert lightsaber. Quickly grabbing up the cylinder he pressed the activation button, igniting the blade with a snap-hiss. Master Kayotoo's words echoing through his head "Do not seek to interpose yourself as the answer to all problems. Trust the Force". Kell raised his glowing blade, breathing deeply and focusing, he took a running start, then leapt into the air, letting the Force help propel him, up and up and into a flip over the head of the droid, slashing downwards at the droid's head.

(Uncommiting the FD from Agility, using Hawkbat Swoop, and I'll be flipping a destiny point and taking the strain to use the Darkside point. Which puts me engaged again, 9 damage and I'll use the 2 advantage to crit at +30 from the previous crits)

Hawk Bat Swoop: 3eP+1eA+1eF+1eC+1eD+2eS 3 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Dark Side
p-s-s.pngp-s-s.pngp-s-a.pnga-s-a.pngf-ds.pngc-f.pngd--.pngs-f.pngs-f.png

Crit x3: 1d100+30 114

The Dark Knight could not bring up his defenses fast enough to avoid being dismantled by Kell's acute strikes. One slash after the other, and the droid fell to the ground, lying motionless, its blue vocabulator still blinking an erratic pattern.


This was perhaps the reason why Kell was caught completely off-guard when the other Dark Knight came charging out. The Gank in his arms rushed unwillingly towards the Nautolan Jedi, and the two collided with each other and went sprawling as the menacing droid continued its approach.


Using Marsten to clobber Kell: 3eP+1eA+2eB+3eD+1eS 5 successes, 1 threat

Ouch! That's 11 damage (minus soak) to both Kell and Marsten (Kell can Parry). But the good news is that the droid is heavily strained, and Marsten is now on the ground next to Kell (neither are actually knocked down). They are now both engaged with the "first" Dark Knight, the one that had been inside with Marsten.


Next PC please! I believe that's H4L. Then we have two more NPC slots.

Edited by awayputurwpn

Aw, that hurt. :(

It isn't a rpg until somebody uses somebody else as a weapon :P I will parry to reduce the damage to 3

Edited by BigSpoon

A trio of troopers were vaporized by H4L's heavy volleys.

NPC turns coming up next...I am just fixing dinner and cleaning, so it'll be a few hours.

The Dark Knight hammered relentlessly against Dev'rios' defense, wearing the Makashi practitioner down with its mechanical strength.


Attacking Dev'rios: 3eP+1eA+2eD 2 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph

p--.pngp-s-s.pngp-tr.pnga-s-a.pngd-f.pngd-f.png


That's 10 damage to Dev'rios, minus soak. I'll assume he'd like to Parry to stay in the fight! For the Triumph...


Forcing Dev'rios to one knee, Dark Knight activated its jump-thrusters and leaped to the top of the roof along with the stormtroopers.



There are now two separate minion groups of stormtroopers (4 on the ground, 4 on the roof). Taking the last NPC slot:

Attacking H4L: 3eP+1eB+2eD+1eS 2 successes
p-s-s.pngp-s-a.pngp-s.pngb-a.pngd-f-th.pngd-th.pngs-f.png


11 damage to Hal! Minus soak.

H4L sustained heavy fire from the stormtroopers on top of the building; his armor was barely enough to keep him up and running.

New round! First PC is up.

Dev'rios parries and he's now 10/12 W, 10/15 S

Summary:

4 troopers on the ground, engaged with Tahiri

4 troopers on the roof, engaged with a Dark Knight

Dark Knight on the ground, engaged with Kell and Marsten.

Dark Knight on the roof, engaged with the 4 troopers

Am I right?

Almost. The Dark Knight is not engaged with the troopers on the roof.

There is one trooper engaged with Tahiri, and the other three are at short range.

Did I not take cover last turn? Also, ouch.

Lavin witnesses how the troopers concentrate fire on H4L. That was certainly a lot of blaster fire for anyone to withstand.

-H4L, are you ok! H4L, are you ok! Are you ok, H4Ley!

He turns his face to Dev'rios.

-Dev, we must finish these Ords or make them flee, now!

"The Battle droid you are trying to contact right now is in the middle of dealing hot laser death right, and may be unable to speak at moment, please leave a message, and he'll get back to you as soon as he can..."

1 Wound left. I will make them suffer.
