Sorry About The Mess: Arena A

By Richardbuxton, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game

^^ well it really depend on the moves we pull, your Parry 8 can help you very much in this one that way you can "soak up" to 12 damage a round that is mor than the most of my victims had been able to ^^

Arissa hated the Master. Hated her. HATED HER. Why was she sent on these errands to these backwater planets barely fit for the scum inhabitants never mind someone like her. The frustration made her want to scream. But she know better than to draw attention to herself in such a place. But even with the relative danger of the jungle something was wrong. She could feel it in the air never mind with the Force. Something her was hunting. Something big and dangerous.

She reached out and grasped the Force. Took its power and made it hers. She then drew her Shoto and lit the blade. The heightened senses she got from the force made it obvious that whatever it was that was out there was close and moving closer.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Action will be commiting Force to defensive sense upgrading combat checks against me by 2, manoeuvre is to ready saber.

His hunting sense vibratet... a predator can feel the presence of another predator in its realm... but where was it? Was it his prey? The Dragonserpent or something else...

// I'll make a vigilance check against your stealth to find you... I hope, I'll add 1 Setback due to the jungle enviorment

2eA+1eP+2eD+1eS : 1 failure, 1 advantage [2eA=S, A] [1eP=A/A] [2eD=F/F, Th/Th] [1eS=-]
a-s.png a-a.png p-a-a.png d-f-f.png d-th-th.png s--.png

nope not finding you... but the Advantage will be used to highen my senses and gain a Boost on the next check. Will move one maneuver toward you 8since you narratet that I am coming closer.

//

Something was close, but where, he slowed down, went into full predator mode. He really hoped it was his original prey... but may be it didn't matter... as long as he could hunt something down. Bleeking his teeth he went forward... Where are you?...

Movement causes 1 strain in the jungle environment.

Correct (how could any of us ever reach this point? Parachuttes? Parachuttes!!)

Guess I'll do perception vs your stealth with a setback from the jungle.

Perception - 1eP+1eA+2eD+1eS : 1 success [1eP=S/A] [1eA=A] [2eD=Th, -] [1eS=Th]
p-s-a.png a-a.png d-th.png d--.png s-th.png

Single success. I will use my manoeuvre to power up my armour. The only relevant effects here are I now have a whopping 3 soak (!) and I now have to pay strain to make any more manoeuvres until I power down the armour again.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The thing seems to think it was stealthy but that mass moving through the dense foliage could be seen quite far off and heard even farther. It could be anything down here in this dank stinking part of the tree filled wilderness. Wild animals weren't her speciality, she powered up her Capacitive armour. Just in case.

Ok once again! this time with the Boost!

Searching again http://orokos.com/roll/561810

well some Hunter I am... wouldn't find a Hutt in his throne room it seems ^^

2eA+1eP+1eB+2eD+1eS : 1 failure, 1 advantage [2eA=A, S/A] [1eP=S] [1eB=-] [2eD=F/F, F] [1eS=Th]
a-a.png a-s-a.png p-s.png b--.png d-f-f.png d-f.png s-th.png

again one advatege is use to stay allert for a boost... moving for 1 Strain toward you (we are now at medium)

The jungel was thick... somewhere here had to be his prey... somewhere... his patience grow thin while he was trying to watch all around him at once...

Why did you make another? you already suceeded in your last one, you already know where I am ^^

you won't need any more until I'll actually try to hide ^^

Edited by Nightone

Needed to do something \_(ツ)_/

I see so you'll wait until I'm close to you... E.V.I.L.

Ok while you are looking around you scratch your face on a thorny vein. You suffer 1 strain and make a little noise that gives me a boost on the finding check ^^

again looking for Arissa http://orokos.com/roll/561813

Ahhh GREAT HUNTER ME!!

2eA+1eP+2eB+2eD+1eS : 4 successes, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph [2eA=S/A, S/S] [1eP=Tr] [2eB=A/A, S] [2eD=F/Th, Th] [1eS=-]

finaly found ya. The triuph will Upgrade my next check once. The advatage will relief me of 1 strain while moving to short will le me suffer one more. //

There! behind the big tree! something pale and those light... a glowing red... how could he have missed that until know? This humming ... it was a sound that so much differs from the enviorment... he should have noticed rightaway... This was no Dragonserpent this was a sentient beeing... one with a lightsaber no less, a red one to be precise.

His hunting spirit was satisfied he found something worthy and at the same moment his fighting sense kicked in and flushed his body with adrenaline.

Oh boy! Funny how much glowsticks I meet these days.

"Ya can come out now pale one I spotted you! No need to hide any more ya Blade says ya wanna fight! That's a wish I'll grant ya right here and now! come an' get me! or go down cowering and treembling in fear of me, da mighty BULK!"

Arissa stands at the ready. It was coming. Let it. It'll die like the rest of those who are in her way to glory.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pass the turn.

She wouldn't budge eh? `Standing there Proudly and full of selfesteem ... He liked it!

"Gimme a good one, Pale-ly!"

And then out of a sudden he rushed in on her, no more words, no more wait! just Claws and the Lightsaber should do the talking! That and his fierce Warscream!

ok one maneuver to engage (1 strain), followed by an attack (only upgraded by the triumph last round)

Saber Attack

2eB+2eP+2eA+2eD+2eS : 5 successes, 2 advantage [2eB=S, -] [2eP=S/A, A/A] [2eA=S/A, S/S] [2eD=Th, Th] [2eS=-, -]

12 Damage 3 after soak, Parry to reduce to 0? 2 advantage will add a setback to your next roll.

yes to unarmed parry.

you want to add some RP? Or shall I move on?

The beast charged her but a swift dodge saw him ram into the tree where she had been standing. Bringing her saber up high she struck for the back of the hulking brute but before the blade would have hit home he spun and swatted the weapon away with a armoured fist.

"My aren't you the large one. You would think with all that muscle you'd be less afraid of a little cut or two. whats the matter? Does the big green not like my little sparkler?"

"Not afraid of ya! not afraid of any sparkle user! Never was! Never will be!" he yelled at her

But the truth was this wasn't going well somehow he missed first and now the twi'lek had unleashed a fury of deadly swings on him. somehow he was still able to dodge and parry them but it was a close call... the closest he had ever to take one in a close combat fight! And here words were taunting... very taunting! But nothing less he won't budge ether. This girl proofed worthy of him and he would acknowledge it by giving her a lecture!

attacking using Frenzy attack upgrade (1 Strain) and Martial Grace (2 Strain for + 4 Dmg to the check)+ aiming once + plus the boost and the setback from the our former checks

2eA+4eP+2eB+2eC+4eS : 3 successes, 6 advantage [2eA=S, A] [4eP=S/A, S/A, A/A, S/A] [2eB=A, S/A] [2eC=F, Th] [4eS=-, F, -, Th]

OK thats 17 damage before soak and Parry.

one advantage for a crit: http://orokos.com/roll/561820

33 + 10 for Lethal blows = 43: Boweld Over - your knocked prone and suffer one Strain

4 Advatages to reduce strain

1 advantage for a boost next Round//

His Claws connected to here shoulder throwing her of balance a swift Kick to her feet and she falls to the ground.
"Whats up little one? Already tired of wielding ya little sparkler?"

Now the battle turned to his favor //

Take 2 strain to stand up, damage is 11, triumph will upgrade your next attack. Parry at your leisure.

Edit - and a parry for 3 strain

W - 4/13 S 7/16

Pain racked through her shoulder. Pain was good. It fed the anger. A series of blows slammed onto the things armour and while none of them seemed to hurt it they put him off balance.

"My sparkler will cut your eyes from your head cretin!"

// yes to unarmed parry (2 strain)

Again he has to defend, this little kitten has some furious claws!

He smiles an evil smile like a creature of nightmares.
"Funny little girl you know I Think I'll put ya to sleep now! So we can have some fun, later on!"

With a swift motion of his hand he graps a little ampull from his poach on the belt - a sleep pack.
"Let's see you resisting this, little girl!"

He tried to inject it eventhough she was forcefully waving her "sparkler"

// Incidential drawing the sleeppack from the military poach - aiming twice (Strain 2) upgrading brawl by frenzy attack (1 Strain) - to applie the sleeppack I need sucess on a hard brawl check thanks to all the upgrade now 3 red. I gained one boost from last round.

Hilarious... once I dont want to kill someone off it bits me right into my green nikto butt...

Regaining 1 strain, adding 2 boost to my (one for one advantage one for two) next check.

Ok that wasn't working as hoped, she waves her saber to forcefully.

WT: 0/25 ST: 5/13 DP: 0 W / 3 B

Question. You are using your fists but I would like to spend the despair to 'damage a melee weapon the character is holding' can we say something like you swing a punch I duck and you punch a large rock breaking a bone in your wrist or somehow injuring your hand?

interessting

RAW would be that you can't damage my fist since it is no melee weapon I'm holding (one of the few advantages a brawler has since he can't mod his "weapons")
And to do real harm to me with a despair you would have to use parry and improved parry (which would cost you strain an doesn't do me a scratch.

and to cripple me you would need a crit on me.

then again I AM holding the sleeppack, so how about this:

I miss you and hit a rcok instead the sleeppack bursts in my hand and I gain half the strain damage it would have done to you (without me having the chance of making a resillence check to withstand its effekt. And I lose this pack of course for good.
(or you'll go for full strain but then I want to make the resilence check to withstand the neurotoxin)

Edited by Nightone

Arissa was no fool. She wasn't likely to get through his defence and it was only a matter of time till he would land a lucky hit on her. But Arissa had other skills.

"Green one look at you. You are reaching your wits end here. I feel we are off on the wrong foot. What with this jungle and our obvious power we were both on edge and scrapping for a fight. But why don't we calm down a little and talk? Hmmm?"
