Alchemical Problems IC RPG thread

By April, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

"Please do it quickly," Yorik muttered to Lady Xillix.

"Alright, Kul! I'm here now come out and let's play!" Yorik stood in the center of the concourse and slowly lowered Confidence to the ground. Definitely going to have to clean the blood off of that later, he thought.

He reached into his belt pouch to pull out the red lightsaber. He activated it then began working it around in a circle.

"Imo Kul! Come out, come out wherever you are! I have your toy, little boy!"

Doing his best to draw the attention of anyone and anything who might be watching or stalking them, Yorik began working through one of the Beginner Saber Katas that Sar Agorn had taught him.

"Not to state the obvious, guys, but I've got a bad feeling about this..."he muttered while embellishing on the kata with his beer dance moves. He played his part and acted the fool and trusted the others to get into position and get their shots or attacks off with whatever advantage he could give them. If he lived through this, he would make sure they all danced down the concourse with a beer in each hand.

Better house keeping next time Aye, this place is a mess!!

If I hadn't of lived below a leaking fertilizer processing plant on Nar Shadda, I'd be losing my lunch right now... Ah frell.

Growing up in the bowels of the smuggler's moon has a way of short circuiting ones gag reflex. However this is pushing it. Zyi finds a peice flimsiplast to push some of the meat chunks and partially coagulated blood off a consol.

Fragging gross... This is the worst. I hope this stuff all still works...

Ok time to work, keep watch Aye.

(Ok I'm gonna wanna do a couple of things here, first I want to flush the psych-gas from the system. Second I want to take control over the station's security measures (which are?) & take control over the environmental controls. I want to download all files/logs leading up to this situation. Also I want to control the docking doors, and rig this al to my pad)

Worra's gut wrenched as the prisoner was executed. He caught eyes with Yorik from across the way, who looked equally aghast. His mind was racing. How can we stop the madman? he thought. B etter keep him talking.

"Acolyte Kul," he shouted down, his voice booming through his collar-amp. "It would be a pity to have an audience with you and not to learn of your ways, your teachings. What is it you and your master are looking for? Tell me of your beliefs. Help me understand."

Umm... Okay, he lops off a head, and now we're talking?

Leaving calmer heads to prevail, Astrid ducks back the other way, in search of a way into Oble's.

Whatever this trinket is Zando is after, we probably don't want this Sithspawn to get to it first...

What is going on out there? Does my backup need backup? Of course, I break com silence and everything starts going down. Reminds me of that time...Well better check if I can see if anyone needs help, either the shooting or the stim-stabbing kind. I creep towards the front of the store so I can peek out, looking for someone to shoot or assist medically, whichever would be appropriate.

(3 Strain taken. How close am I to the action or anyone else in the party? Can I see anything outside the store? Perception check maybe, or is it obvious if there's a firefight?)

Nearly convincing herself to turn away from the gruesome scene in front of the shoe store, Astrid stops herself, catching sight of Yorrik once again from the peripheral of her goggled view.

Well, I did come here for the shoes...

I was going to leave the warriors to mop up, but the compromised refresher system obviously affected him more than I'd thought... He can speak for the party with "Confidence" anytime, but I can not leave him to represent the team with dance moves like that . Fracking straight bars...

Aiming the lancer at Kull, she waits for her shot. Surely he can't reflect all of us, if we overwhelm him with fire? Maybe this medic can even patch him up enough to turn over to Zando?

Durrak puts his hand on the discblade as they wait for Kul.

Worra's mind felt back to a conversation that he had with Yorik a few weeks ago, during the long hyperspace haul off of New Taris. Yorik had explained that he had a sort of "danger sense," as he put it. Almost as if he could detect things a split second before they happened. He had suspected that this might be through the Force.

But there was something odd about it - it only seemed to work on living beings. Yorik couldn't anticipate the actions of droids the same way. I wonder if Kul is tapping into the same thing... Worra thought. If he was, then any droid would have an easy time of sneaking up behind him given the chaos of the firefight.

Quietly, he strapped a pair of noise grenades onto the sides of JSE. Using his datapad, he turned off the droids lighting and its audio sensors, knowing that the noise grenade might destroy anything that could detect noise. If the trick worked, Kul would not be able to detect the droid until it was too late, and the droid would likely be able to escape unscathed. He then directed it to fly around behind the Acolyte as quietly as possible and detonate both grenades.

Quote

Any check for this? JSE's not going to throw them. Just get as close as possible and detonate both. Hopefully it will not impact JSE as his audio sensors are off, and he has instructions to book it as soon as they detonate.

Worra is also still trying to get Kul talking, if there is any check I need to make for that.

(Is the hind well enough now to dock?)

(Truly glad to have you back, Worra! That is gricking brilliant!)

easy brawl check 2 purples? ( i know but throwing should use strength in grenades they are quite heavy)

seems your through, luckily theres just such a program to remove contaminants that wont effect any living creature....

He flushes the contaminants from the system. Then proceeds to inspect the video feed from the other cameras, and downloads the logs. Afterwards he tries to hook up the knock out gas to the environmental system...

while you can certainly set up the commands to do so, it seems that level security requires a pass key to deploy the gas. while you might be able to hack the system, two passes at hard level ( 3 purple 1 red ) to do so it seems it does require a manual keycard.. if you wantto try to rig something up could i get a craft role at the same difficulty?

York leapt into battle as well sheathing his lightsaber and drawing his force pike in one fluid motion and using his Quick Draw technique that he learned from Irina on new Taris.

"Never leave your wingman!" he exclaimed to Lady Xirrix.

Yorik swung the force pike with as much strength as he could--slamming it into Imo Kul's shoulder and stepping in for Lady Xillix .

If Kul wasn't fully focused on him then Yorik would end him swiftly. If he was, then the others could likely snipe him down or at the very least free the hostages.

2eP+1eA+1eB+2eD+1eC : 1 failure, 1 threat, 1 Triumph [2eP=Tr, S] [1eA=-] [1eB=A] [2eD=Th/Th, F] [1eC=F/F]
p-tr.png p-s.png a--.png b-a.png d-th-th.png d-f.png c-f-f.png

Yorik wasn't able to do any damage with his attack and Imo Kul's attention was on him fully now. But, fearlessly facing Kul and standing in front of Lady Xillix allowed her and the other hostages to escape and gave the others a clear shot at Kul's back and sides.

Frack!! No clear shot, now... as Yorrik steps into the fray.

I'm familiar with her species. Assuming she's mature, that limb's not likely to grow back; if you can find it, though, there's a strong chance it could be reattached.

Still scoping the skirmish, waiting for an opening.

Mediiiiic?!

Over the comms, Yorik sounded like the adrenaline had finally sobered him up. "Anybody in range, Kul's attention is all on me now. Take whatever shots you can right now and don't hold back! Medic, wherever you are get over here and get this lady's arm reattached if you can... After you blow this frelling monster's head off!"

Circling warily back and forth as he looked for another chance to strike, Yorik bravely stood his ground as the others escaped and he challenged Imo Kul, "Kul, you're a monster and a madman! All of this horror and gore and for what? What could you possibly hope to gain? You think that you can taunt and terrorize us without consequence?

"I've got news for you... We're the ones who will be hunting you! No matter what rock you crawl out from under... No matter where you think you can run in the galaxy... We will be waiting for you. We will find you. We will find you and we will. Always. Beat you."

Realizing the grenades would be too much for JSE to handle, he set the droid on patrol again. He then flipped on his collar amp and began to ridicule the Acolyte. "Kul, this day is your last in this body. Though you may escape into another, the remainder of your existence shall be nothing more but a game of lothcat and mouse. You will be on the run for an eternity, while we track you down and kill you over and over again. You will dishonor your name. Your master shall renounce you. Your plans shall never come to pass due to your own incompetence."

Kul suffers one strain and one setback on his next check (and up to six other deathtroopers, if they are still in the area, suffer the same effects).

Worra knew his words would do little to harass the dark Acolyte, but he hoped his distraction might let Yorik score a blow.

Durrak sees that he has a open shot and throws his discblade at Kull.

2eP+1eA+2eD+1eF : 4 advantage, 2 Light Side [2eP=A/A, S/A] [1eA=A] [2eD=F, -] [1eF=LS/LS]
p-a-a.png p-s-a.png a-a.png d-f.png d--.png f-ls-ls.png

Spend 3 advantages to disarm Kull. I advantage to recover strain. Uses force points to call the discblade back to his hand.

Bennar runs out with his rifle at the ready. Bind the Sith? That one's on our side? All right, on it! He slings the rifle on his back, grabs his medkit, and races over to begin first aid, trying to look around for her arm a little bit while focusing on keeping the rest of her alive.

(What checks should I make? Perception to find the arm? What difficulty medicine check to keep her steady for now? I assume we need to get back to a proper medbay to attempt to reattach the arm or could I do that now? First check coming up! How does combat work here are we taking formal turns or just going when it would fit in the narrative?)
