Alchemical Problems IC RPG thread

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

the acolyte unsheathes his lightsaber but as quickly as the blade extends, Yorik is much quicker... rounds hammer into the acolyte spinning him around..

As the final rounds find home the acolyte's face just implodes.... sending the eye mask flying towards the party... It seems your odds have improved.

( as it was his go next and hes now dead)

right so Astrid's grenade has sent both the Broken god and The lizard to the floor( and they now have to spend their actions recovering from fall, )

the building though spawns 6 amorphous blobs and they head straight for yorik ... only one is able to reach close enough to swipe at yorik, but misses, however, it grasps his rifle ( want to make a brawn check 3 purple to see if you can prevent it from the monster tossing it away ( only for now)

Edited by April

Is it a Brawl Check, an Athletics Check, or a BrawN check?

I have 3 Brawn and 1 rank in each Brawl and Athletics.

(Sounds like it might be grounds for an opposed check)

the creature has a firm grip but neither side seems to be winning the conflict... Just as you think the creature might win your muscle flex

es as given some burst of energy... could it be this place is saturated with the dark side... you need to be careful ( roll a force dice)

Ever mindful of her professional responsibilities, Astrid snatches it mid-flight. Gotta be a market for this?! 'Mask of the Acolyte of Screaming!' No.. 'Shroud of the Screaming Acolyte!' Hmm..

The sounds of Yorik's struggle break her from her untimely reverie. Not the time, Astrid, not the time.

Tucking the mask into her utility belt, she ignites the forcesaber in her off-hand, the violence of it jarring. The clear energy blade burns with a fierce intensity, louder and less cohesive than it had been before. So uncivilized... she thinks to herself, longing for her lost pistol, as she turns.

Okay roll a resist check please with one purple, one red and one black

Maybe it's the raw, latent power of the saber.. or more probably.. the mask is more than it seems..

you hear the voice of the acolyte compelling you to place the mask on..( do you want to use your advantage to just stop doing so, but pocket the mask for yourself? )

(So id like to sneak up to the broken god if it's distracted and plug into it...)

Its not ( so you can attempt to grapple it if you want but you will need to make two rolls, so you need to dodge the spawned creatures so 1 roll )

then you'll need to make a hard grapple with a black and 3 purple

you will go before it though

The Acolyte's voice is in her head. Compelling. Seductive.

("Put the mask on..")

I can save my friends.. defeat the machine..

Be a legend.. not just study them..

I am stronger.. won't succumb to the temptations..

that have darkened others..

I can use this.. without letting it control me..

No!! Astrid exclaims, though she is not quite sure whether her rejection is voiced aloud or not. Regarding the forcesaber in her grip, she considers destroying the relic outright, but cannot bring herself to do it.

She wonders briefly whether she has the strength to resist such power, should their situation become untenable..?

("Hopeful still?!") The Acolyte's laughter echoes in her head, as she stows the mask.

Yorik shouted as he struggled against the blobs.

not unless you try to use any kind of force ability from now while you have the mask. if you want to throw away the mask you will need to roll a 3 purple and one black to do so ( vs your resist).

( @April can i make a stealth check to sneak up to the broken god?)

Its going to be quite hard

do you have a stealth field generator?

youll need to make two to pass the amorphous creatures ( 1 purple each ) then a daunting test to stealth up to the god ( so 4 purples )

(I do!)

(So if i use the stealthfield it would be the npc's making the check, they would make a perception check against 5 purple dice?

you reduce the difficulty by one dice on each, no your making the check against their " sight," they see you switching it on so they know your about

(Ah... Ok)

Blob 1 stealth roll : 2eA+1eP+2eB+1eD 3 successes, 4 advantage
a-s.png a-a.png p-s-s.png b-a-a.png b-a-a.png d-th.png

(Advantage spent on 2 boosts to myself)

(This is actually second blob roll)

Blob 1 stealth roll : 2eA+1eP+2eB+1eD 1 success, 2 advantage
a-a-a.png a-s.png p--.png b--.png b-s.png d-f.png

(Forgot the boosts so here is that roll)

: 2eB 1 success, 2 advantage
b-a.png b-s-a.png

(Pass myself another 2 boosts)

Broken God stealth : 4eB+1eP+2eA+4eD 0 successes, 2 advantage
b--.png b--.png b-s.png b-a.png p-a-a.png a-a.png a-s-s.png d-th-th.png d--.png d-f.png d-f-f.png

(So no success so he sees my turn on the stealth field, maybe i can spend the 2adv so he thinks I'm just sneaking up on the blobs?)

"I've got your back, Yorik, but it looks like our Omwati friend is bugging out on us again."

Zyi's no coward, but his disappearance can't have gone unnoticed...
