Have all the boost dice been handed out? I still need to make my roll

All should roll at least 1 boost due to Kamoa's check, and @SebastianArrow can give 1 to two of the remaining three characters' checks.

Speaking of, @SebastianArrow , go ahead and roll 1 boost and add it to your dice pool to see what changes.

1eB : 0 successes [1eB=-]

Tsk, tsk...

Remember, Fear checks are the mind killer. They are the Little Death that brings total obliteration. You must face your fear, you must allow it pass over you and through you. :P

This is the end for my character. It's all over. He is going to die a long, painful death. Farewell world!

Description Fear (Discipline) + Boost
Results 3eA+1eB+2eD : 0 successes, 3 advantage [3eA=A, A, A] [1eB=A/A] [2eD=Th, Th]

I hadn't fully read through the previous page... Does Kai have another Boost available that he can add to this roll?

@SebastianArrow should have two to pass out, which I don't think has happened?

Description Extra Boost, if applicable

Well that didn't help... I have 3 Advantage to offer, at least.

So Kai suffers setback on all checks until the end of the encounter. I guess you can offer another setback to Takane.

Boost to Takane, right?

Boost, right.

Description Farsight
Results 1eF : 2 Light Side [1eF=LS/LS]

(ignore effects of darkness to medium range for 2 rounds/minutes)

I'll wait until @Absol197 posts and then move onto the next IC post, as well as develop what Kai sees with Farsight.

Sorry for the delay. The good news is we accepted an offer on our house, so I shouldn't have to spend the weekends pretending I don't have a home anymore! Should increase my posting rate :) . I read through everything, I think I had two boosts, right? If not, subtract the second one from my check.

Fear Leads to Anger... : 1eP+2eA+2eB+2eD 1 success, 2 advantage

Hold on, I'll think about what I want to use my Advantage for...

EDIT: Okay! Can I use my advantage to give Chadrik a Boost on his first check? Basically, Takane's poise comforting him a little, sort of canceling out the fear a little?

So GM, what are your rules about spending XP? Can we buy new things at any time? Only between scenes? Do we have to establish IC justification for whatever we buy? (meaning we can't level up Computers if we haven't actually fiddled with a computer at all during the specific timeframe.)

If it is in-career, it doesn't need any specific justifications, it's just natural development of abilities.

Out-of-career stuff, specs and skill, needs some level of narrative justification.

Anything you have at character creation falls under the former category. As for spending XP between scenes and encounters, just exercise common sense.

Okie doke

I took the Influence basic power and first range upgrade. Seemed appropriate for someone who channels the Force through storytelling, but I totally overlooked this power during character creation. (I'm used to non-Force-user characters... There's so much more to blow XP on as a Force user!)

Is that everyone on Fear checks? Not rushing anyone, just checking in that we're all caught up.

I counted 6 responses, so yes.

Difficulty/ modifiers for Stealthy approach?

No need for a check at this time, I don't think.

So does anyone want to try and genuinely be stealthy about this? I know we have a PC in a tree being sneaksy lookout, but Kamoa's going to go loud, given the situation, unless anyone has objections to that.

And by "going loud" I just mean he's going to call out in case someone is hiding thinking we are here to smash their face in.

I say have Kamoa act as Kamoa would act. But if someone thinks a sneaky approach is better, maybe they can have their character reach the structure and say so in the IC thread to justify why Kamoa doesn't call out?
