Indeed! I never did a thesis, but many oh my friends did, and they looked rough. Hang in there!

Just letting everyone know I'm still around and waiting (semi) patiently!

This group is awesome, and I'd love to keep going once everyone is in a good spot!

Same! I hope people's schedules start behaving soon.

I'm here too.

So, sorry about the tremendous delay.

A bit of explanation since you folks deserve it. I happen to work in sales. Car sales. Normally the end of the month and a Monday holiday would be a busy period to begin with. But, not only has this year been busier than normal, it's been so busy that we're the busiest domestic dealer on the whole east coast (in the top 5 or 6 in the whole of the continental United States).

This year to date we've had over 4,000 people show up, and are averaging 380-ish sales a month. And wow is everyone super tired.

I could have gotten the initiative done easily, but I didn't think (and was likely correct since I continually just fall asleep once I get home from work) that I'd be able to actually handle the fight.

But now I'm back. We're close to done with the escape section.

So, I wasn't expecting the Troopers to roll that high! Do we want to have one of our ranged attackers go first still, or do we want our melee beatstick to punch someone out?

I would say melee first: that way if the Troopers don't move, they'll be eating an extra Difficulty on their attacks and giving the target an extra boost on combat checks, and if they do move then they're pincered (and within range of a MIND CRUSH!)?

Agh. Sorry. This is what I get for checking the IC thread first. >_<

So, technically it's a maneuver to draw the novasaber, and then only an incidental to ignite it . But that's just me being pedantic~

Well, you got their attention I'm sure! Hopefully they don't kill us for it!

I have a feeling Aanu might soon end up joining Kalira in unconsciousness... well, Kalira's not there anymore, but you get what I mean.

Blasting somebody in the face with his own gun may be even better than using Kalira as a weapon. That's awesome.

Just let me know when it's ok to fire

I didn't blast him with his own gun! I just clobbered him with it.

I mean, not quite yet, one of the bad guys has to go first, but I couldn't resist !

I am around. Just kind of lingering. Don't mistake my invisibility for lack of presence.

You'll have to let me know when it's my turn, or post the initiative list. I'm lost.

PC, NPC, the rest of you guys, NPC.

I'm okay to literally leap in maybe after our ranged folks. If I even go last,that's fine.

Sine it's all of us next, why don't we let Kolah go first so he can shooty-shooty without hitting you, then you and Ze'nemon can pound some buckets in !

And it looks like we're at medium range? Interesting...

I figure you guys are on the very, very inner edge of medium. Makes it more interesting.

Also, I forgot to adjust the dice pools for short. So here we stand.

So I can either activate my crit with my 3 advantages or I can pass on a bonus die to someone else. I'm up for either. Also, the gun has Pierce 3 so those troopers I'm sure are learning about a new level of pain and something called lead poisoning

Heck, I'd do a crit, knock out another trooper! You've probably got one, almost two, and I think there are four of them. Might as well make it two, almost three!

Then we can sic the gank on 'em !

You can certainly land a crit if you like.

Who would like to go next, some planning while Kael decides?

How would it work if I sought to leap into our into somebody and then punched the guy next to him? Mechanically, would that be two attacks (no can do) or a force leap into the fray and punch a guy, and if THAT connects with a triumph or lots of advantage, adjust the narrative to say my force leap was into a guy, rather than just into range?

Two main options on that:

1) Do a regular Brawl attack against the Troopers and narrate well! Regardless of how much damage is dealt, the damage is applied to the Minion group's pool, so you can narrate that that's how it happened. Of course, it's even easier if you do enough damage to knock one or more of them out, but it's not necessary ;

2) Two weapon-combat! Make your attack with both your Repulsor Fist and an unarmed attack. Both use Brawl so the Difficulty is only increased by 1, and if you get two [A] you can literally do a separate hit. Make your unarmed attack the first one to represent landing on the first guy (do you have enough Enhance to add your FR to your attack? That would fit very well, thematically!), and then spend your advantage to Repulsor-fist the second in the face!!!
