The going on Malachor was hard. Cramped passage ways, intense heat and mile long treks underground had made a simple protection job tedious; this was meant to be the sight of one of the most pivotable battles between the Mandolorian and the Jedi, where the graviton bomb forever shaped the planet into a unhinabitable rock; it's gravitational pull constantly changed. According to professor Alfried Iamdisposable Pennyworth; this wasn't the end of the tale. The limited access indicated that somewhere deep within the crust was a temple of some import that was constructed after the war; after the war the Jedi that had broken off to defeat Mandolore the Ultimate had made a temple deep within the planet's crust to dwell on the decision that had spilt the Jedi Order into two, built near the origin of the blast where the planet's movement was relatively stable. As the trail began to open up twisted shapes that resembled buildings rose up in the distance; The Gunslinger had thought that this was a couple of Bathnia short of a herd; but the pay was a steady 500 credits a day! Some serious authority was bankrolling this expedition.

Still the Rodian sighed; The gunslinger had hoped that this assignment would have jogged his memories; gave him an identity beyond who the journals said he was but so far his memories beyond his most recent were a blur; that woman had taken his memories and most of his skills, all that was left to him was an itchy trigger finger and questions.

Like who was following them. The Gunslinger had noticed the figure 5 minutes ago attempting to sneak upon them, but it had only been at this distance that the Gunslinger had been able to visually identify him out of the corner of his eye; a small squat figure, heavily armoured. It was fairly apparent this midget didn't want tea and crumpets. The Rodian strolled up to the Professor of the experdition, pulling up his visor.

"Pennyworth; you're gonna have to charge me 50% extra if your information wasn't exclusive, you were followed."

"What?! Impossible! Only I-"

Ranged Light attack (Leading with Nova Viper and BOOSTER BLLUEEEEEEE) : 3eB+4eP+2eD+3eS 2 successes

Ops, forgot about the heat : 2eS 0 successes, 1 threat

(With the set trigger; the end result is 3 success, 2 threat. Spend the threat as you wish. I will deal 10+3 damage = 13 damage, the gun has two pierce so you will take 7 damage in total, as your lightsaber isn't out yet reflect won't apply.)

The Rodian wasn't interested in what the irritating greying human had to say, he twisted the cap off a small vial of blue liquid that he drank and flipped over his shoulder, before with a practiced cold precision he twisted and fired back at the approaching figure, his *Set Trigger* sent a volley of fire, one of which connected firmly with the following figure. Immediately the crew started to run, the gunslinger held up the rear.

"I'll ask him then. Go on ahead, I will follow shortly."

The Rodian took up the rear, martching after the crew of mainly scholars before, breathless he stood at the neck of the caynion and turned, two holes gushed thick vicious steam into the air. The Rodian had seen his first hit strike true; but it wasn't a lethal blow, not with all that padding. Already his unsteady memories circulated with a distant memory, the one that had cost him his real arm.

"That was just the warning shot shortie; I was paid extra to make sure no one disturbed this trip and I, Tobin Stryder, fully intend to honour that deal."

He then waited for a reply, the sliver eyes stood out against the blackened laminate armour as he waited for his challanger to come. The Rodian couldn't retreat any further; not without endangering his charge.

Either way, it would be over within the next minute, one way or another.


(Tanson used improved quickdraw to draw booster blue (which was consumed) and the Nova Viper (Which he fired). I spend 2 strain to take two Moves up to Long range. In all interests in keeping this fair I won't move any further away from you. Happy hunting, Jedi!

In addition I have scanner goggles that compensate for the darkness. However, I forgot about the agility imposed setback dice, which I had rolled seperately.)

(Oh hey I'll get a response up later today!)

No worries. ^^ I was just linking you in case you hadn't noticed. I'm not in any hurry. ^^

(Linking certainly helps!)

(Im going to spend the 2 threat to immediately perform a free maneuver in response to active charecters check, I'm going to use it to draw and ignite my saber to reflect kosher? This per table 6-2 in eote core. So that takes 7 dmg to 3)

After breaking out of the imperial prison, "the bulk" dropped him off in. He continued the search. A new dark force has arisen. He felt its presence in the star destroyer. Its the same feeling that brought him here.

He looks again at the inscription on his saber, the blasphemy of its vulgar violation stares at him.

He presses the inscription into a crack of fire cleansing the handle of the marks. He looks up through the haze.

Through the molten landscape, Drez'n continues trudging... searching.

The Sith relics must stay buried or be destroyed. These treasure hunters are fools, doing the work for evil.

He finds the edge of the camp, but before he has a chance to consider options, a volley of blaster bolts wizzes by. The first few miss giving him just enough time to pull his glowing blade. A few hit him putting holes in the mesh between the plating, he swings the stout green saber blade defecting the rest harmlessly.

I am Drez'n Bercilak, The Green Knight of Corellia, keeper of the green jedi traditions, destroyer of evil, bastion against the sith and all that flows from the darkside!

Show yourself!

I only seek to keep the dark buried. Holster your blaster. Turn from the dark, and i will guarantee you will face no harm!

However stay your course and much peril awaits. I will use what force the force requires of me to stay the dark... Choose wisely stranger, you dont need to to meet your end serving the twisted needs of the Sith!

(After your response I'll take my turn)

// Threat spending (Step 5 of resolving an attack) happens after damage is already calculated (Step 3). To be fair, and in keeping with our previous tournaments, you may spend a Destiny Point to have drawn your lightsaber and then reflect the attack. The maneuver will have to be used after the damage has been calculated. //

Ok that's fair. I'll spend said dp. And move closer before awaiting his retort.

I have conducted my roll, just helping with clearing some rooms, so I be busy till eve.

The Rodian paused and inclined his head as he paced, almost as if considering the offer the Jedi was making, when in truth he slowly tugged at the lancer on his hip, a plan already formulating.

"Now, that sounds awfully sweet and all, except for one thing."

The Rodian snapped up his nova viper and snapped off a blaster shot, aiming for the head of the squat creature; this, would have been an easy shot to block, yet as the Rodian twisted to face the Jedi, his second blaster barked a pin point accurate shot, the bolt sheered through the battery portion of the lightsaber, the little light in the darkness of obsidian began to flicker out. What followed was a unrelenting swarm of blaster blots, as the Rodian yelled above the din, the accuracy betrayed his obsession in practicing relentlessly for this type of confrontion

"The last of your kind I spoke to messed with my head, I can't remember anything, ANYTHING!!! You sons of ******* might have stolen my connection to the force, but the mistress has not left me yet, THE FORCE HAS A DESTINY FOR ME, I KNOW IT!"

Yeah, the Rodian was one Bathna short of a herd.


Ranged Light (Nova Viper and Lancer, Guns Blazing) (-2 strain) : 2eB+4eP+2eD+3eS 1 success, 3 advantage, 1 Triumph
b--.png b-a.png p-s-s.png p-a-a.png p-s-a.png p-tr.png d-f.png d-th.png s-f.png s--.png s-f.png

Now, behold, Tanson has the Signature ability unmatched fortune, which allows the Rodian to cheat- I mean, manipulate the dice results at least twice a session! He can manipulate 3 faces. I will spend 1 dp to manipulate all 3 facings of the dice to Triumphs , as that is an adjunct facing. The net result will be 1 success, 4 Triumphs . I have to ask first, do you want to reflect, @TheShard ?

The Nova Viper will deal 11 damage, pierce 2, the lancer will deal 9, pierce 4.

My intention is to spend two T to break the lightsaber, rendering it useless, one T to duel wield the lancer, and one T to inflict one Critical injury.

Tanson: 2:1 DP L/D, Wounds: 0/13 Strain: 5/17

(I think we have a misunderstanding. I was merely allowing you a retort not another turn @LordBritish , my move manuever was from your threats, so i have a whole turn before you can fire at me with that roll. )

Ehh? I thought you had spent your turn moving? Gahhh. I guess I will just make another roll in a minute. @TheShard

The Rodian paused and inclined his head as he paced, almost as if considering the offer the Jedi was making, his voice a cool calm over the rushing steam as he projected his voice loudly.

"Sith? Ahhh sithspawn, I was told that this was a Jedi temple. That changes everything, I was hoping to make a honest living for a change."

The Rodian smiled under his mask, this was a half lie, on one hand his surprise about the temple being a Jedi temple, on another, according to the journal at least, he really didn't care. The Jedi had robbed him of the jewel of yavin at least once, and another had stolen his memories and connection to the force. It really didn't matter to him which of the two came before him; he wouldn't let another dupe him. The Rodian clicked his tongue audibly as he made the effort of pretending to think out loud; when his truth his mind was set.

"Look, maybe we did get off the wrong foot, come on out and we can talk this over like real men. Look, I'll even put this blaster away till we figure out how to deal with this. Fair is fair, right?"

(I did want a retort didnt i? ;) Nice bind you put me in)

Good man! The darkness being stirred up will bring horror to anyone involved.

Holster the weapon then good sir.

And I agree to do the same.

Drez'n approached the Rodian with a quick steady confident step.... Quick but not rushed.

He outstretched his hand offering a shake. However his lightsaber remained ignited, tip pointed towards the ground attempting to show his lack of hostility.

(If he holsters his weapons I'll turn the saber off. However if he doesn't, I'll strike without hesitation. Drez'n is honorable but not stupid let me know your intentions and if its to remain armed I'll roll. Also I've moved to engaged range.)

Sorry to to interupt but it seems neceaary:

Just a little reminder @TheShard in this system there is no holding back of actions if you wait for Tanson to show his intensions (doing an maneuver to holster his weapons or doing something else) you forfit you turn and will only be able to act again once tanson did what ever he plans to, a re you shure you want that? (like Yoda said: Do it or not do it!)

@LordBritish you did a little (put quite important) mistake with the Booster Blue while you used Quickdraw to draw it (and then improved quickdraw for the lancer) you still need a maneuver to swallow it! (like you would need a maneuver to apply a stimpack), so you only used one moving maneuver in that round to get to medium+1 Range!

Little recap:

Tanson goes first: Quickdraw Booster Blue, first Maneuver apply BoosterBlue (one Strain), Improved Quick Draw Lancer, Action attacking (3 Succsess and 3 Threat), second maneuver (2 strain) moving a bit away.

Drez'n spends a DP to get his lightsaber out to reflect (3 strain) and reducing the damage of the lancer to 3, then using the two threats for a free moving maneuver to close in on Tanson to medium range.

You are at medium range and it is offically the starting of Drez'n Turn!

You got 2 Black and 1 White DP remaining

Sorry it took so long for me to interfer, but my vacation last week keept me out the loop ^^

and now back to our action hunt!

Actually, Tanson has had two actions thus far. The first turn, he chugged the booster blue and used the Nova Viper exclusively (e.g. He did not draw a second weapon), in which he scored a hit that was reflected due to a DP. The second turn (this one) he would quick draw a lancer and made a check with that.

So it was more like.

Quickdraw (Nova) Improved Quickdraw (Booster blue) Attack (With Nova) and two moves to move to Long range (From Medium)

The next turn would have been

(Quickdraw) Lancer, then two aims (two strain) and a guns blazed attack. That attack hasn't been conducted yet, largely because I've been quite busy.

Sorry no, you had only ONE Turn and this is it. BUT Sorry you used the Nova viper not the Lancer (I misread that one)

your second post was a mistake since you thought Drez'n would have spend his whole turn on moving, but that was due to the generated threats of your first action.

There is no indication of a second turn before Drez'n even had his turn. (one after the other no free turns for anybody here)

Now you hold BoosterBlue in your hands... but To use it you need a maneuver! while your dice indicate that you used it (drawing is not equal to use something!!), so you can't use two movement in this round! only ONE to medium+1

That's what I had meant but not put down; That Tanson hasn't drawn his lancer up to this point; thus his intial action of drawing the booster blue and the nova viper and double moving was legal, because he wasn't duel wielding at the time of the shot. The second set of actions was my assumed set of actions, until I noticed I was wrong.

I had incorrectly assumed that he had taken the only moves he had available to him, which literally would have been to close the distance. Which was an error on my part.

Edit: Ohh? I thought it was a indicental. I am going to have to look at the way I use stimpacks in my campaign since if that's true; my group might have been following the rules incorrectly for a very long time. XD My bad.

In any case, to keep things easy I will not take the moves to move to long range, and instead stay at medium.

It happens sometimes ^^.

To "USE ANYTHING" is always an Maneuver, as well as DRAWING is, which by Quickdraw, Military poaches, weaponattachment, can be reduced to incidentials that is why those "quickdraw"-items are so neat you can suddenly use 2 Stimpacks / drugs ect. for 2 maneuver instead of one (drawing as first maneuver and using for strain as second)
