Am I the only one rolling an extra Setback for darkness? I thought it had been suspended for the initiative roll, but is currently in effect? Am I mistaken in this?

I thought that was only on perception checks, but if I'm wrong I can add that back in to my attack. Sorry I may have missed that!

I hope I am mistaken. Just want to clarify before my roll.

Just fear, if that.

Okay, I edited my action post! Kai gets a Boost from Takane's reinforcement! I'll throw the IC up!

• Maneuver 1: Administer stimpack to self (recover 5 wounds)
• Maneuver 2: Saber Swarm to give Linked 1 to next attack (suffer 3 strain)
• flip Destiny Point to upgrade attack
• Action: Hawk Bat Swoop

The Evening Lamp DescriptionSwoopResults 2eA+3eP+1eF+1eD+1eC+1eS : 3 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Dark Side [2eA=A, A] [3eP=S/S, A/A, S/S] [1eF=DS] [1eD=Th] [1eC=F] [1eS=Th]

Boost from Takane's reinforcementResults 1eB : 0 successes, 2 advantage [1eB=A/A]

• Damage: 10 + 7 (Linked 1 for base dmg) = 17 wounds total
• Use 3 advantage to recover 3 strain
• Use 1 advantage to boost next PC

Does anyone have awesomeness to do before Chadrik? He only is engaged with one minion. I would like to be free of the baddie but if anyone really wants to go first, feel free.

I jumped the gun a bit... @Blackbird888 has an NPC slot before Kai's attack. Otherwise, I say go for it. There are 3 PC slots left before the bad guys go.

Phoon's attack against Mr. Whip.

2eA+1eP+1eD+1eC : 1 success [2eA=S, S/A] [1eP=-] [1eD=-] [1eC=F/Th]

3 damage after soak.

Let's take this last minion down!

Maneuver to aim.

Lightsaber Attack!

2eA+2eP+2eD+1eS+1eB : 2 successes, 1 threat [2eA=A, S] [2eP=A, S] [2eD=Th, Th] [1eS=Th] [1eB=-]

Calculate damage.

Well, looks like you took him down! But that threat is somewhat annoying.

Maybe use your last maneuver (if you can spare the strain) to go reinforce Bralane? She dropped her staff, and while I'm sure she can throw a mean hook (especially with that +2 Enhanced Brawn!), she may need some help.

Or, if you think the doggy's got this, maybe come help Kai and Takane? The leader seems a tricksy bastard, and I know Kai's hurting, and Takane is really tired.

EDIT: Or maybe I should stop assuming a 100% hatch rate for our chickens!

I would help out another PC before you help out me. I've got this guy right where I want him. Thinks he can be all sneaky getting me to drop my weapon...

Cool, cool, say no more !

So, Chadrik? Either come help Kai and I, or take a moment to catch your breath! I think we can spare it .

@KungFuFerret , let me know if you plan to hurl another rock. I'll boost your Agility in that case. If not, it's time to try out this new Influence power.

(In fact, if we plan to keep one of these guys alive—Mr. Whip, for instance—I could try to Influence-strain attack him, with the narrative effect of getting him to give up. But that assumes he's weak enough to do that when the max I could do is 4 strain.)

That's nine damage total on my hit. How far away is Kai and Takane from my position, and who are they fighting with?

Took out the minion. About short range with the leader, I believe.

Ah sure, I will spend two strain to engage Mr. Whip. Do your worst weird bad guy who kidnaps children!

(Still maintaining sense defense)

Chadrik hesitates for just a minute before running to help Kai and Takane take down the man with the whip.

We're facing the leader, a disarmed swordsman, who threw a dagger on his last turn.

Kai and Takane are fighting the leader. Phoon and Bralane are fighting the whip guy.

Oh, well I will quickly change direction and head towards the leader.

How many people are left alive at this point? I guess I have to leave the girl's side to actually punch anyone, and my guy is designed to do strain damage.

Same here. I think it's just the leader and the whip guy.

So I don't think I've taken my round #3 turn yet. Does anyone else need to resolve something first, or I can punch this bad guy in the face?

We have two more goes before the bad guys act. Assuming @KungFuFerret is willing to go last, I can boost him before the enemies act, so you should be golden. If he's not planning on pressing the attack, I can go last and use Influence to try for some Strain damage.
