Kai will strike immediately after attempts at peaceful resolution fail.
The Evening Lamp OOC
Well, if we're all just waiting for someone to kick off the IC stuff, I guess I can take first slot? Unless someone wants to do anything prior to Kamoa triggering Sense's commit ability?
My only request is that I don't get the final PC slot, so that I don't get killed. Need that defensive stance and all.
Suggestion: Bralane can take the first slot to attempt her Coercion check in the first slot, then NPC, then KungFuFurret, then the rest.
Fine by me, just wanted to make sure we weren't all waiting for someone else to go first.
Works for me. So Takane or Chadrik goes last among the six of us?
Chadrik can take the last slot.
Can I have a boost die for making a cool in character threat to the bad guys?
Hmm. Nah, let's just go with it normally for now.
I think we have a rough plan, then:
- Bralane (Coercion)
- Shisa or Phoon
- Kamoa (Sense)
- Takane or Kai
- Takane or Kai
- Zik (tell priestess to run and hide, stand up, Defensive Stance)
- Badguy, Shisa, or Phoon
- Badguy, Shisa, or Phoon
- Chadrik
- Badguy
- Badguy
I need to get to bed, but if the first round gets going, I'm happy to have someone narrate Zik's turn for me in the interest of moving the action long. G'night!

Difficulty on the coercion check? And if I find the difficulty to be more than I would like can I change my action to something else?
We'll make it opposed to the leader's Discipline/Willpower (2/3).
Coercion Check
:
1eA+2eP+2eC+1eD
2 successes, 4 threat, 1 Triumph

Well if this doesn't open up some interesting possibilities I don't know what does.
I succeed (twice) with a triumph. And lots of threat. Hrm....
Ideas?
Perhaps: You've succeeded in weakening the resolve of the group, so they suffer setback dice or you gain boost dice on checks against them, however, they are not entirely deterred and will prioritize you as target number one.

OK, I am going to suggest that I have succeeded in disorienting them for one round with the success, and if I can lobby for it, I would like to spend the Triumph to either stagger some of them for one round (I am guessing some of the 'bad guys slots are' minions, so perhaps I will target one group of minions).
If that is too much, I will instead just spend the triumph to increase my melee defense for one round.
Sounds like the threat is being used to convince them all of the truth of my argument: That if they ALL attack me at once, they can probably take me down!
For maneuvers I will spend one to take a guarded stance.
Disorient enemies for 1 round, and gain melee defense.
Phoon will take the next round:
1 maneuver to move to short range of one of the groups of 3, 1 maneuver to engage (suffering 2 strain), then attacks:
3eP+2eD
:
1 success, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph
[3eP=S, S/A, Tr] [2eD=-, F/F]
Deals a critical, taking out 1 enemy, and uses the remaining advantage to recover 1 strain.
Next 4(?) rounds go to PCs.

Yay, Phoon! I think that's right about the next 4 rounds. I'll go 4th of this group.
I believe people were cool with Kamoa going after Phoon, per your suggestion BB888. I'm at work atm, but will be home in about 45 mins. I'll post up my actions then.
Well, after the others post of course

*looks at the IC posts* I don't see anything new since last night. Certainly no posts by Phoon or Magnus

I think we're doing everything OOC first, and then BB is going to narrate the round in one post. @Blackbird888 should correct me if I'm wrong.
We're going to try doing the OOC first, then the IC stuff second, for the first round only, to see if it flows better that way. So go ahead and lay out what you're doing mechanically, we'll work to the end of the round.
Oh, well then Kamoa is going to use his action to commit his FD to Sense, and with his upgrades to the power, that makes 2 attacks against him that will be upgraded by 1. He will also do the Body Guard manuever, suffering 1 strain, to increase difficulty of attacks against Shisa until start of next round. I'm assuming we started within Engaged to Shisa? Since we were all sitting around talking?
